The Superstar Game in a Novel [Book Transmigration]

Pei Qi, a triple-crown film star who has won all three major awards, transmigrates into a nameless cannon-fodder character in the showbiz wish-fulfillment novel Superstar Game. The original character comes from a wealthy family but was switched at birth. When he joins a talent competition, a mentor harshly criticizes him, saying, "It's either him or me." His company promotes a rich second-generation persona for him, only for "insiders" to come out and expose the lie… Pei Qi returns to the beginner's village with a max-level account: I'm tired. I don't want to climb to the summit all over again. But acting is the only skill he's good at, and the game world in the book awakens his competitive spirit. When an entertainment-industry nobody becomes a Purple Star from Heaven: He joins an actors' variety show, beats the preselected champion, and is invited by the acclaimed director on the judging panel to play the male lead in his next film. His first movie, where he plays the third-billed male lead, wins him the Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor awards at a major awards ceremony. His first starring TV drama and movie both become huge hits in ratings and box office, earning him nationwide recognition and making him a top-tier star! Relying on his own ability, he face-slaps his way to the top and claims the title of superstar once again! Recommending my new story, After the Entire Boy Band's Rebirth: A Talent Show. Please add it to your reading list! Here's the blurb: The five members of the boy band Leap-X were openly treated as the show's favorites from the very first episode of the talent competition. All were trainees from major companies, packaged with rich-kid personas. They got tons of screen time, and had a built-in marketing network promoting edited clips focused on individuals and couples, generating buzz and drawing countless fans into investing in them… The five thought they were about to skyrocket to fame and dominate the domestic entertainment industry. As soon as they debuted, they couldn't wait to go solo and cut ties with the group. Then the backlash hit, and everything about them was exposed: drunken brawls, dating, being kept by rich women, secretly contacting sasaeng fans, and more. In less than half a year, they flopped at lightning speed. Ten years later, the five are reborn and return to the time before the competition. This time, they decide to grit their teeth, put on a good show as a group, and become a massive hit! Wait, why has the show turned into a livestream? And also... Why has the dancing guy, who won't become famous until he returns from South Korea two years from now, joined the competition too? Why has the delivery guy, who was eliminated in the first episode but will become famous for short dramas ten years later, advanced? Why has the guy who dropped out midway and later became the top livestream seller on Kuaishou made it into the top 32? Why is the veteran contestant who stopped at the top 12, and later became a talented singer, already such a good singer here? And where did this solo trainee with stunningly beautiful eyes and a somewhat gaunt face come from? His wordless song amazes the judges. In the first episode, he moves like a robot and can't control his limbs, but later he improves at lightning speed and becomes a demon onstage, his popularity soaring as he aims for the center position!!! The five: What the hell? This can't be right! Are there even any debut spots left for us? The judges: This will be the strongest group of contestants yet! The national producers: I want to invest in this one. That one's pretty good too. No, no, I only want this little treasure. I'll protect the Big Dipper at all costs! Down with the favorites! The production team (wiping sweat): What are we supposed to do with the planned favorites' storyline? P.S. The title and blurb are tentative. Please add it to your reading list. I'll start it soon! Theme: Let your abilities speak for you, and climb back to the top of your career step by step!
