I have read a book with a slightly similar background in the early stage. It was about a rich coal boss, but the style was different. It was still very interesting. The heroine in that book was a secret heroine. The early stage was about the Olympic Committee under the national master. It was a different reading experience, but it was equally interesting.
Follow till now. The early stage of this book is very similar to another book, and it feels like its outline and branches have been modified and used, but it's okay, and it's a pleasure to read. However, there is a feeling that the author was reluctant to part with certain plots and backgrounds. He also wanted to have his own ideas but also wanted to avoid being too similar to that book, so he used part of it and discarded part of it. As a result, many characters in this book could not stand up, such as the male protagonist's father and the female protagonist. This is especially obvious for the female protagonist, who wanted to show her career success and mutual support between her and the male protagonist, but as a result, there were not many plots of the female protagonist's career struggles, nor was there any strong help to the male protagonist's life. As a result, the female protagonist often gave people a feeling of being inexplicable and causing trouble, and now she can only be active in the story by driving a car. The other thing is the plot. In the past few months, the movie project has been a sensation, the interviews have been very attractive, one or two new characters have been introduced, and a certain detail during the filming showed that the protagonist is very good, so it is bound to win another award, and the box office surprises the public, and so on. Although they are not comparable, they are indeed similar. In this book, only General Yuan Yuan won my heart, and I won my heart through observation and humor. I really like it so far, I hope the author can write better!
I really like Director Zhou who has strength, background and down-to-earth attitude. I also like Sissi who is brave, beautiful and straightforward. The most beautiful thing is that this is a single female lead story, but Zhou Liu sounds like Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau are in love.
I am a director, am I not worse? Although it is quite similar, the writing can be read.
The angle is very unique, and the male protagonist's father (the coal boss) is definitely the winner in life. I don't like Liu's character in this article, and I don't know Liu's true character, but Bai Yueguang is like this. Even Bai Yueguang himself can't compare to the Bai Yueguang in my heart. So this book is hard to read. In addition, the pace is too slow. All kinds of movie shooting are actually repeated over and over again. It becomes boring after a long time, and the monsters and upgrades are not exciting enough. I have always felt that a web article of about one million words is more appropriate.
Not bad, especially some of the little quips in the writing are quite interesting. The daily life writing is also quite good, and some are almost boring. First, the LeTV part is meaningless. The background and ability of the protagonist are enough. This party seems to be used to force the writing of Huang Xiaoming. Second, the plot involving Warner always feels too low. It makes people feel that Warner is begging you to film, especially the first Oscar. It cannot be buried alive to this extent. Third, some awards come too smoothly. It is exciting in terms of plot, but it is almost meaningless when looking back. Overall it's pretty good Infinite loop is nothing new.
The beginning of the story is really good. There are no flaws. It's an easy read. The heroine is still Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei is waiting for you at home. When will you get home?
First recommendation. First of all, this is undoubtedly an urban pleasure article with a single female protagonist. Brothers who like cool writing are in luck. Secondly, let's talk about the author's writing style. The plot is coherent and not procrastinating. It has bones (coherence is more refreshing), meat (yes, meat) and details (the author is naturally not arrogant in describing the details of life and dialogue). Overall, it is a heart-warming and refreshing novel, which is undoubtedly a fat bread for bookworms who are crazy about filling their emptiness. Finally, let's talk about something weird. The protagonist's first love at the beginning. To be honest, for someone like me who reads many books at the same time, I don't understand the core of separation from first love, and I don't see the role of first love in the later chapters. Maybe the foreshadowing is buried too deep and I haven't written it yet? Or is it because Liu's data as the heroine is better under big data? Therefore, I only had time to feel the passion and a little ambiguous sweetness of the protagonist's first relationship just after returning to China, and then it ended quickly, and it felt like it was a hasty affair. But overall, it is still a refreshing article on entertainment industry directors that should not be missed.
The essence of this novel lies in the film-making process, the interaction between the director and actors, and the evaluation and appreciation of several classic movies. Details that non-experts cannot know and cannot write down are details that non-experts cannot write about. This is what makes the author's intentions outstanding. Worth recommending. The rest are all ordinary routines disguised as disguises.
Hey, this is the first novel about the background of the entertainment industry that I have read. To be honest, I was quite interested. Later, when he updated it, I also read other ones... I also read a lot of similar ones on Rotten Eggplant, and then I went to read other ones, such as the Literary Age. How should I put it? I came back for a second brush, and this time I just wanted to give it a score. Then let's talk about this book. The male protagonist is very smooth, but I don't know how everyone came to read it. I don't know much about the timeline, some movies, and the stars, except for the emotional line with the heroine, which is a bit problematic, so I gave it four stars. I didn't give it five stars on Tomato, so I just read it blindly because I couldn't remember much. In short, I don't think you know much about the entertainment industry in this book, but if you like to watch movies and TV series, you can watch it. Of course, I don't recommend watching literary and artistic films. I personally don't like to watch them. Of course, the plot of the movie is mentioned in the novel, but you can watch it. Then I went to the second brush I just remembered that I didn't really like the one where the protagonist's son made a cameo. How can I put it? There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers... It can be read as a refreshing article. The author's rhythm is very suitable for me.
