Holy crap, this is the first time I've ever seen an adult film scene in a Chinese entertainment novel! Amazing! Keep it up, author! Don't abandon your previous works like you did, you'll achieve great things!
Many people say the film was ahead of its time. Actually, Huanzhu Louzhu's novel *The Legend of Zu* had a wide readership at the time, mentioning the Great Calamity, the disintegration of the sword, and flying swords, but no one had shown it in a film. Later, Tsui Hark and Ching Siu-tung's *Swordsman* filmed the sword energy effects and were hailed as amazing.
This book is interesting. Making a fortune isn't about writing novels; millions of words are nothing, and you don't really think you have a photographic memory. Write richer stories about multiple female leads, pick a few you like and write about them extensively, the others are just casual sex partners.
Could you please reduce Michelle Yim's screen time? Honestly, I can't see what's so beautiful about her; she just seems like a lower-budget version of Barbara Yung. I looked at some old photos of Michelle Yim, and those buck teeth are so distracting; she doesn't look like a great beauty at all.
Author, please stop messing around! Zhao Ya and Lin Qing are both very busy. In every Hong Kong entertainment book, they're in bed. They just got off in this one and are already in bed in the next one. Let them rest a bit. 😁
There aren't many Hong Kong entertainment novels left, and I really enjoy reading them. I'll let them sit for a while. After reading the first few chapters and some reviews, here are some suggestions: You can write about your side hustles, but don't include too many. Those who read Hong Kong entertainment novels should know what they're looking for.
I haven't started watching it yet, but after reading the introduction, I'd like to say a few words. Hong Kong in the 1970s was incredibly chaotic. Without a powerful background, anything went, black or white. You think you could make movies according to your own will? Dream on, brother. Don't you even know who owns the famous film companies in Hong Kong now… they're all run by big shots with triad connections…
I admit my mistake. I didn't manage my time well. Please allow me to finish this section and I'll correct it immediately. Please bear with me a little longer.
Thoughts after reading
To be honest, the writing isn't amateurish; it's worth reading! It's very rare to find Hong Kong entertainment literature that isn't amateurish these days! I felt the plot was written a bit rushed, both in terms of filmmaking and commercial aspects. Some details weren't clearly explained, making it feel somewhat disorganized.
It all started off like this. It was all about filming movies and TV shows, then suddenly they were involved in making toys and videotapes. It just didn't feel right. Do many novelists who've never worked in a company know how complex the power struggles and backstabbing can be? How twisted is the money laundering by management? A normal person has limited energy.
