Reborn in Hong Kong, 1986

It's rare for a Hong Kong entertainment novel to start with Joey Wong as the female lead. The author should write seriously and avoid including so many random women. Forget about Cherie Chung, Brigitte Lin, Sibelle Hu, and Angie Chiu; just keep them as friends, help each other out when needed. Some authors seem to prefer these older, less attractive women.

The book is good, and the writing is fine. As for why it's not very popular, in my opinion, the protagonist plays the innocent victim in the entertainment industry—it's hilarious! It's free for a limited time, so I might give it a try, but I'd rather not subscribe.

I won't comment on whether the book is good or bad, I'll just briefly describe the plot 🙂 and won't say anything else. 1. The male protagonist is a virgin in both his previous lives, and after being reborn, he finds himself in a single woman's entertainment industry. 2. Companies with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan directly give managers 12% of the shares.

This world is about might makes right. Once you have 100 aircraft carriers, great scholars will naturally come to debate with you. When you don't have a single aircraft carrier. You're emphasizing your 5,000-year-old civilization, but they don't even give you a second glance. These days, strength is the only truth.

After reading dozens of chapters, I'd like to share my thoughts. This novel has equally prominent strengths and weaknesses. First, the strengths: the author's writing is excellent, I can confidently say it's better than most Hong Kong and Taiwan novels. Many plot points are novel, the script adaptations are good, and there's no unnecessary padding. As for weaknesses, I think there are two so far.

The first chapter was already too much! Hong Kong entertainment novels all start the same old way, and this one's handwritten 20,000 words a day? How long has it been since you last picked up a pen? Copying 1,000 words an hour is a feat in itself!

Joey Wong

The beautiful Xiaoxian is here...

I lose interest when I see the characters. Hong Kong's entertainment industry is all the same – it's always the same actresses like Joey Wong and Rosamund Kwan. It's the same in mainland China. Mainland entertainment is all about actresses like Liu Yifei and Yang Mi. It's all just assembly-line, meaningless talk.

In Hong Kong entertainment, apart from Tony Leung Ka-fai, everyone else has a dark past. The author checked and found that Qi Qin and Joey Wong broke up in 1993, Joey Wong and Peter Lam got together in 1992, and Peter Lam divorced in 1995. Given Qi Qin's talent and Peter Lam's wealth, Joey Wong chose Lam, and became his mistress.
