Chinese Entertainment: I'll Make My Wife a Star Myself

I saw a summary of a Chinese entertainment novel outline, probably compiled by multiple people, so I'm providing it for your reference: A wasted life, reborn, an orphanage, new recruits. The three major institutions, here I come, good personality, wonderful classmates. Writing scripts, learning directing, teachers like me, they value me.

Suggestion: Reduce the descriptions of TV drama plot points. Only two chapters a day, sometimes entirely dedicated to the drama, seems like padding for word count. Besides, who wants to read a novel and hear your retelling of the TV drama plot? The novel's plot progresses very slowly; sometimes what could be covered in a paragraph or two is stretched into a whole chapter, which is too drawn out.

Is it certain that the female lead won't get a divorce after becoming a big star?

That greasy American with the fangs... Jia Ling is prettier than her, isn't she?

This film, made as a tribute to the Kuomintang, is supposed to be about the 800th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Is it a tribute to Taiwan? Wow, I'm dropping it.

Forget it! Does the author even know why this book is being criticized? Judging from the title, it should be a light novel focused on romance, with the TV drama as a secondary element. But after reading dozens of chapters, the female lead barely has any presence, while the TV drama is still being touted over twenty chapters. The priorities are completely reversed.

It's boring. It's just a fictional parallel world where everything is arranged for the male protagonist, including a wife, and then he starts daydreaming. It's boring, and the many fictional characters make it even more boring.

Looking for a cuckold's girlfriend? Any man with a bit of talent would willingly let his girlfriend enter the entertainment industry. It's a cesspool, and they don't even understand the dangers of developing real feelings for each other on set. This is no different from actively offering your girlfriend to another man, and not just one. The entertainment industry is too complicated.

And people are still defending this premise? Just because it's not in the novel's plot doesn't mean readers won't imagine it. Idol dramas and romance dramas are full of hugging, kissing, and even some intimate scenes; it would be strange if they didn't include these. The male lead/director watching his wife sleep with someone else? I'm speechless. Are you even men?

I abandoned the story after he joined Yang's company. The beginning was quite good, but one second he said he didn't want to be hindered, and the next second he joined a newly opened small company with less capital than the protagonist. He could have easily started his own studio! He just used headhunters when he lacked connections, that's what makes it satisfying.
