An Entertainment Mogul Who Started as a Director

Wasted in my past life, reborn this time, an orphanage, new recruits added. Three major institutions, here I come! Good personality, wonderful classmates. Writing scripts, learning directing, teachers like me, they value me. World Cup, earning extra money, finding Ning Hao, clinging to his coattails. Stone becomes a success, as expected. Think about it, which one to plagiarize?

I hope to write about the prestige of winning the three major awards. Many people in the Chinese entertainment industry, even if they win the three major awards, act like they haven't won anything. Chen Shiren only won one and has been living off it for a lifetime.

What era are we living in? Still having these three major awards like the Oscars? It's a ten-year-old formula. Why not do something capitalist? Write novels, build China's film industry, and help domestic awards become world-class awards? You wouldn't even dare to think about it? Your back is so weak?

Why is Liu Yifei, the female lead, so popular in Chinese entertainment novels? She's clean, realistic, and insightful. The only boyfriend she had who was the subject of hype was Song Seung-heon. You can search Liu Yifei's Weibo posts from August and September 2015. She has explained that these are marketing accounts that relentlessly exploit the situation.

Gao Yuanyuan won the Cannes Best Actress award? Even novels can't be written like this!

Sweetie is the true female lead

It's ridiculous that everyone writing about entertainment news is criticizing Director Chen. Even though his films after "Overlord" weren't great, the economic impact of building a palace and film studio with each movie is unparalleled. Moreover, the film studio's annual revenue from dividends is hundreds of millions, similar to the hundreds of millions in revenue from Jay Chou's copyright.

I hope there will be less female lead development. Just let the main character be pure and simple, without trying to portray her as virtuous while actually being virtuous. Anyone who accepts this has no dignity left. Also, please reduce the amount of criticism. If the main character is flawed, constantly criticizing others is hypocritical. For example, characters like the Prince of Pingxi are not the same type of person as the protagonist; it would be better to simply omit them.

I initially found some parts of this book too offensive, so I dropped it... But... TNND… After going around in circles, I found that this book had the fewest flaws, was the most enjoyable to read, and was one of the better ones... Compared to this book, some entertainment books are utter garbage; the authors know nothing and just make things up. 😅😅😅

Do you know why it flopped? The protagonist lacked distinctiveness, and the book lacked originality. If they dared to hold a second film adaptation against censorship, you should have just submitted it to film festivals; if they wanted it banned, so be it. Your protagonist didn't have any outstanding personality traits; it was just like all other novels—the same old story of a protagonist making movies and sleeping with female celebrities. Why don't people read those million-word novels?
