A Dance of Light and Shadow, 1998

Let it stay like this; there aren't many good books in the Chinese entertainment industry anymore.

An entertainment novel written in such a complicated way

This writing is utter garbage. I even gave it a tip! It's incredibly off-putting; the author is just ridiculous. 😅

If you can't write romance scenes, then don't write them. Either make it a lifelong commitment or just go for the bulldozer. That would be more satisfying to watch. The plots you've come up with are too childish. A relationship with Gao Yuanyuan that lasted for years ends with a single phone call, and it's all because the male lead himself was filming for months and didn't answer the phone or reply to texts.

All complaints about the plot of the first chapter should be directed to this thread. The freebie rush will start this afternoon, so please be kind and considerate in your comments. Thank you so much! 🙂

I couldn't stand it anymore. The protagonist is an inexplicably pretentious artsy type, just like [a certain person], why is he making a film about a celestial dog? He won't even star in "Chinese Paladin," he won't go to "The World's Finest," he won't act in "The Eight Trigrams Formation," his breakup with Gao Yuanyuan was inexplicable, and his father's hospitalization was just too much. Goodbye... I can't stand this kind of pretentious, artsy type...

I'm really exasperated. The plot is a mess, pieced together haphazardly, and utterly disorganized. I just can't stand watching it.

To the Author I hope this book won't be abandoned. You need to finish one or two books to build up your popularity. If the results are poor, you can finish them quickly, but don't abandon them. Only by completing one or two books can you have a base of loyal fans, which will ensure that the results of your subsequent new books get better and better.

I've finished reading the free chapters, and all I can say is that the protagonist is too pretentious. To be a star, you need to become famous first. You only gained some fame from "Water Moon Cave." The others were just supporting roles. Once you're famous enough, more people will want to cast you.

To me, Brother Gan looks like he's been cuckolded.
