Author, born in 1981, please don't include actresses like Teresa Teng, Angie Chiu, Brigitte Lin, or Rosamund Kwan in your stories. They were probably all over the place back then. It's also best not to include Cherie Chung; she was 21 at the time and had many scandals, most likely with Chu Ka-ting. Irene Wan also debuted, and her situation probably isn't great either!
Everyone knows Zhao Yazhi, so why bother with Zhao Yazhi? A married woman is the true love.
In Cantonese and Hong Kong, it's called "tomato," not "tomato" (a Cantonese term for a type of savory spice). A budget of 4 million? No special effects, no superstars—did they spend the money on the red-light district? Definitely the biggest investment of the year. A domestic comedy that even 21st-century Cantonese people can't relate to—you're trying to get it into early 1980s Hong Kong... Is the author a student?
Author, do you know why your book performed this poorly? Look at what you wrote in it! A gambling agreement? The protagonist, a newcomer, signs a "gambling agreement" with tycoons? Does he even deserve it? Also, please do some research on Hong Kong wages in the 1980s, then look at the wages you wrote about. There are a whole bunch of other problems, I'm too lazy to even mention them all.
Why portray the men as so naive and unsophisticated? When I was 20, I never reacted this way to beautiful women on the street. Did you never touch a woman in your past life, even at 40?
If the author were born in the 1980s, they probably wouldn't have written about Hong Kong entertainment in this style. In 1981, you were making movies, but singing was a waste of time. Putting aside whether it was popular or not, it at least ruined my image of that era.
Filming a "calorie" music video in Hong Kong in the 1980s was absolutely amazing.
Is it a joke to make a movie about Shen Teng in Hong Kong?
The sight of tomatoes pulled me out of the scene, and I felt uncomfortable.
I've read up to chapter 15. It's set in the 1980s. Because they're from mainland China, they're paid 3000 yuan a month, and there are only 8 of them. They're also uneducated... This kind of light novel really doesn't require any brainpower. I'm outta here.
