Looking for Books About Becoming a Director
Looking for a book like "Director: I Only Wanted to Make Ends Meet, but Somehow Became a Big Shot". This one is good, not a novice-level story.
Looking for the Four Ultimate Showbiz Powerhouses
I forgot which novels made up the four untouchable masterpieces 😂
Looking for the Best Entertainment Industry Novels
I've been reading for over ten years. Please recommend some good books you've come across recently.
Writing-Cheat Stories Focused on Copying Novels and Screenplays, Not Songs
Stories about copying existing works, mainly novels and screenplays. No copying songs, and definitely no switching to acting halfway through.
Showbiz Novels About Focusing on One’s Career and Acting, Preferably With No Romance or Ambiguity
Either the male or female lead’s perspective is fine. No entertainment-industry veterans like Yang Mi. The productions should preferably be original, and the characters shouldn’t act stupid.
Looking for Entertainment Industry Stories About Directors, Movies or TV Dramas Are Both Fine
I enjoy patriotic, uplifting stories and official propaganda-style works, such as "The Age of Awakening", "Special Forces: Blade of the Blue Sea", "Wolf Warrior", and "No More Bets".
Looking for Novels Where the Protagonist Directs TV Shows or Variety Programs. Movies Are Fine Too
No actors, please. I've read quite a lot of those and I'm getting tired of them.
The Entertainment Industry Is Such a Mess. Any Good Novels?
Preferably with Dilraba in it!
Looking for High-Quality Showbiz Novels, Not the Same Old Dating Shows
Any Good Entertainment Industry Novels?
I'm in a reading slump lately, ahhhhh. By the way, I recommend "The National Idol's Secret Crush": it's so good!
Any Chinese Entertainment-industry Stories Set in the Real World, with No Alternate Universe and No System?
Showbiz Novels With a Director Protagonist
Looking for books like Making The Wandering Earth, Building a Space Elevator Is Perfectly Reasonable. Novels where the protagonist uses a System and futuristic technology to make movies.

I've Run Out of Books! Recommend Some Good Urban Fiction...

It's rare to find a good book in Tomato, but it's just not something that a seasoned veteran can do.
The first 100 or so chapters are written by the author, and the following chapters are about AI.
Well written! The filming process is very comprehensive, and you can see the trajectory of the protagonist's efforts; the training of the actors is also very graphic, and you can see the experience of Xiao Hua Xiao Cao's acting skills. The emotional part is still a trickle at the moment, a little sweet. But there are a lot of female characters appearing, and I'm very curious about how they will develop in the future. Great directors have always been among the flowers, so the author can give me some strength.
As far as the current content is concerned, it deserves a 5-star rating. The writing style reminds me of an author who is a rare director who writes about this period. It feels like I am reading a novel about the rebirth of reform and opening up. Other novels about rebirth in the 1990s are mainly about economics and business. This one is mainly about movies, which is also quite interesting.
It incorporates a lot of knowledge about the film industry that is rarely known to outsiders. The protagonist is ambitious and capable, has a macro vision and a big picture. The films chosen are also classic and thought-provoking. The overall film is relatively documentary. Recommended
Is this something I can watch for free? In Chapter 10, you can see that the author has carefully conceived this story. It is better-looking than most of the current serializations at a certain point. The writing style is also relatively smooth, does not look tired, and there are no uncomfortable repetitive words. It would be better if there were more updates on Food and Grass+
There is something to see! It's just a bit too wordy, so I give it 4 stars. I hope the more I write, the better!
This is not a mindless and refreshing article in the name of literature and art. The author has researched a lot of things and has read a lot of films. Although I don't agree with some opinions, I still feel that this is a very thoughtful work written by Tomato Entertainment. Unfortunately, if it is high-end, it will become a niche product, and it is slightly less interesting. It is estimated that the results will not be particularly good, and the possibility of cutting it off cannot be ruled out.
This is the first time I know that there are so many processes involved in film movies from shooting to post-production. I have gained a lot of experience. Some of the questions I had about watching old movies a long time ago are now answered in novels 👍
It's a pity. The first hundred or so chapters are really good. The feeling has changed since Starlight Entertainment. Otherwise, this book would not have such a low Tomato rating.
