Single Female Lead: Liu Yifei
Looking for books similar to My Fairy Sister: I'm Really Not a Love-Brained Fool! The male lead can have some acting scenes, but acting shouldn't be the main focus. I don't want him to be obsessed with directing, with everything revolving around it. That's boring.

I stayed up all night to read the latest chapter and read both the good and bad comments. Let me summarize: it has its strengths and weaknesses. From a directing or filmmaking perspective, the plot is a bit too long, which might displease some readers. However, the romance is very well written.
It's well-written, but it would be better if there were less romance; the author's imagination runs wild. However, it shouldn't have received such a low score. The logic is sound, which beats 80% of entertainment books, and the story's angle is fresh.
The author's writing is very good, and the book itself is fine. However, if you're looking for a story featuring Liu Yifei, don't have too high expectations. It's not based on Liu Yifei at all; you could use anyone's name instead. It's a good read as a sweet romance novel set in the entertainment industry.
With over 60 chapters and still no hint of the main theme, it's truly exceptional on Tomato.
I was saying the style was similar; turns out it's you, @MyMagicBottle. This book is a significant improvement over your previous one, "The Coal Boss." Sometimes you shouldn't listen too much to readers' suggestions. The pacing of "The Coal Boss" was noticeably inconsistent, sometimes fast, sometimes slow—that was all because you listened to readers' feedback.
I've read 30 chapters, and it's pretty good. Unlike other novels where the story immediately becomes a movie and wins awards, then the female lead throws herself at the protagonist. The logic of learning from Zhang Yimou first is excellent. I'll give it four stars for now; I don't want the author to get arrogant with five. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
The author is really good at writing about romance in Chinese entertainment novels, 😂 but the female leads in other Chinese entertainment novels are all just like accessories.
Well, I'm often hesitant to rate a book because I always feel like it will suddenly become less enjoyable after I finish it. Actually, I skipped through the beginning of this book, like some reviews mentioned, that there was too much focus on the movie. But from the part where the protagonist is filming "The Grandmaster" onwards, I became completely engrossed and couldn't tear myself away.
It's a good read, I really enjoy it. I prefer slower-paced books, and this one is very well-written. I'm also following another book by the same author; I hope it doesn't have a bad ending.
