I devoted my whole life to fighting the great calamity of having nothing to read. My cultivation reached the late stage of the Sudden Death Realm, but in the end, I was no match for the calamity. I leave behind my legacy and await a worthy successor. If you can bring me back to life, I will give you my all and help you break through the Sudden Death Realm in an instant, taking you straight to the Ascension Realm. 😶

A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots
The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.

This author is truly amazing; the character portrayals are incredibly vivid, especially the protagonist. He brings to life a simple-minded, dull, naive, indecisive, and unrealistic mama's boy. Amazing!
A truly extraordinary director (author) who is celibate, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, is solely focused on making money, and radiates positive energy—China needs directors (authors) like this, and the entertainment industry needs directors (authors) like this too! Awesome!!!
This is the most enjoyable Chinese entertainment director novel I've ever read. It has a single female lead, the protagonist comes from a wealthy family and is capable herself, making for a very satisfying read. The story revolves entirely around filmmaking, with the romance serving as a welcome break from the main plot and written quite naturally.
It's truly well-written. The character's growth is evident from his youthful exuberance and defiant spirit to his current maturity and composure—a clear character development arc, making it a compelling coming-of-age story. Beyond that, the single female lead and sweet romance are very appealing.
So far, this novel is quite well-written. It features a single female lead, played by Jing Tian, and the male lead is very devoted and faithful, with a son and a daughter. His family background is quite prestigious, though specific details aren't provided. The pacing is excellent, the logic is clear and tight, and the plot is engaging and readable.
Overall, it's not bad. The main character wrote many of his own movies, which is quite an achievement. As long as the female lead isn't a celestial beauty, it's fine. I'm tired of seeing Liu Yifei as the female lead; she's always fawning over her, it's annoying. The main character in this book is upright and has a good heart, and the content is acceptable. It's worth a read.
To compete in the top three European film festivals, shouldn't the film be released beforehand? Shouldn't it wait until after the festival to be released, instead of the other way around?
This is a novel by Tomato's Best Director, featuring almost entirely original films. The female lead is Jing Tian. It's very good. Please don't stop updating, keep up the good work!
It's pretty good. I've been following it since the first forty-odd chapters, and the transition from director to behind-the-scenes mogul has been very smooth. The single female lead is also a plus. From *Parasite* to *The Disease*, it's clear the author has genuinely thought things through and created original works.
I've read up to chapters 136 and will continue reading. The content is rich, the main storyline is clear, and the characters are well-developed. The protagonist has his own pursuit of film and achieves it in this life, not just being a plagiarist. The protagonist's complexity lies in both his compromise with capital and his adherence to his personal principles.
