Looking forward to it
Stop calling them the "Four Little Heavenly Kings." The other side already has the "Four Heavenly Kings." Shouldn't Taiwan also create a title like "Taiwanese Song God"? Jay Chou, Fan Xiaoxuan, and S. H. E. Didn't emerge until several years later. Shouldn't they be competing with the other side now?
Songs need to be relevant to their time! You think old songs are good now because others have become outdated! Many songs that are ahead of their time may not resonate with people in a particular era.
The author doesn't copy songs; they can refer to Huayu 1997 or even copy songs verbatim. However, the song selection really needs some effort, otherwise the reader won't feel immersed in the story.
I think Lin Chi-ling is a good choice for the female lead. To put it bluntly, Hannah Quinlivan isn't materialistic. Everyone likes money, as long as her love for money doesn't outweigh her love for Chen Qiming. There aren't many distinctive actresses in Taiwan. At least Lin Chi-ling is a natural.
The plot gets increasingly absurd; over 300 chapters, and it's all a mess. A contract termination sends them back to square one, constantly releasing songs and 4-5 albums a year. Some parts are poorly written, and the protagonist tries to do everything he can without making anything clear.
If you don't understand, just ask. How did you guys get into this novel? The basic plot is: Release a song, promote it, it becomes a hit in Taiwan, meet a girl, sleep with her. Break up the following year, then release another song, promote it, it becomes a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan, meet another girl, sleep with her.
In the latest chapter, the protagonist writes a song for singer B to sing in order to suppress singer A and boycott A. I just want to ask, what is the protagonist's job? He's just a singer! Why doesn't he sing it himself and instead makes someone else sing it? Is he out of his mind?
Do you know how much commercial value a top singer's screen debut has? Look up Jay Chou's experience; how many big names in film and television supported him back then? Playing supporting roles in movies is one thing, but playing supporting roles in TV dramas is so beneath him! Do you know what Zhang Moumou said to Zhang Ziyi when he cast her as Linghu Chong's junior sister?
There's a problem. Isn't the image of an original singer supposed to be amazing? Why is that image completely absent from your album promotion? When a talented singer's work is on par with that of a singer who only sings, it's enough to completely overshadow the latter.
Bowie Tsang is very beautiful? What kind of taste do you have? I'm speechless.
