The Rise of a Superstar in Chinese Showbiz

It's 2020 already, why are you still writing about actors? This is way too low-level. Disappointing. This kind of plot from 10 years ago, without amazing writing or a brilliant concept, is simply not worth reading. The actors are too passive and too low-level; they are merely puppets of capital, directors, and even screenwriters. How can they expect modern readers to connect with them?

Author, is the female lead a celestial being? I came to read your book because I heard the female lead is a celestial being.

Seeing this part of "A Bloodbath Caused by a Steamed Bun," I personally think it's very illogical. Because the protagonist is an insider, what insiders do is completely different from what outsiders do. An insider doing this kind of thing easily provokes resentment from others in the industry. Because when outsiders edit it, everyone knows it's just for fun.

Since the author never explicitly explained Fang Yunmo's assets, I never had a clear understanding of his strength while reading the book. I tend to be a bit meticulous when reading, so I had to reread the book to summarize the monetary rewards Fang Yunmo received for completing system tasks and how he invested that money in Tencent stocks.

It feels a bit idiotic. The original *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* was a top-tier production. You could audition, but you'd only get supporting roles. Leading roles were impossible. For such a large production, the leads were already cast; it was a competition of capital and connections. For a newcomer with no background to audition for a lead role was practically a dream come true.

Some authors just wouldn't listen to advice, and in the end, they ruined themselves!

I was saying that Zhao wrote that there was nothing more to it later, and that Hu Ge had an 11-year contract with only one year left, and they were paying a 200 million yuan penalty for breach of contract, and they only signed a 5-year contract! Unbelievable! How can the penalty be so high, especially since it's only for one year? They spent 200 million yuan, and they only signed a 5-year contract so they can make it back.

I don't understand the point of signing this Zong Shuai. Auditions require effort, and being framed won't help you. If a cheat code solves everything, what's the use of signing him?

Personally, I feel there are some major flaws. Earlier in the story, the author mentioned that the male protagonist was very careful not to offend anyone. But when it comes to Chen Kaige, why does he suddenly offend a major director? It feels like the author's writing is logically contradictory.

Why can't I find any good articles where the main character is a director or producer anymore? I've never really read novels where the main character is an actor, for my personal reasons: 1. Actors are always in a passive position in the industry chain. Generally speaking, investors first find big producers and good directors to organize the production, and then find actors.
