Ruling Hollywood

The novel's writing is quite good, but there are many awkward moments. The author portrays a photographer as exaggerating other people's reactions to his photos, and the same goes for his music videos, where consumers are all praising the videos. It's really awkward! Actually, these things are really not important, and nobody cares about them!

Two flaws: 1. Overly exaggerating the protagonist's achievements. Just because he directed a music video, he's expected to be fawned over by celebrities. In reality, American singers earn more than movie stars, and they wouldn't even bother with a music video director; they'd be lucky if they just decided to give orders themselves.

I didn't actually think Scarlett Johansson was that beautiful; it was just the role of Black Widow that made her a star. Hollywood is never short of beautiful women; some succeed, some fade into obscurity, and some disappear altogether. It's like the new wave pushing the old one aside, the old one dying in the director's bed.

I know you respect John Lone, but shouldn't you consider the context of your writing? Americans address their parents by their first names; don't you, a white Hollywood director who makes over a hundred million dollars, feel awkward constantly addressing an Asian actor with such formal language? Just saying "you" is much better.

Chapter 180, the personal touches are a bit disgusting. They've praised John Lone to the skies. A god-like figure! As a result, I searched for John Lone's works and awards in the United States. Hey, he only received two Golden Globe nominations in the 1980s. The rest were all awards I'd never heard of.

Can you please stop being so low-class? Aren't the highlights of entertainment news just money, beautiful women, mansions, and luxury cars? You've cut that in half. Now many entertainment writers are big bosses, super rich, but they go out without assistants and come home without nannies, explaining it's for privacy. Frankly, it's just low-class.

Chloe Moretz, born in 2005, around eight years old, interviewed at Fifty Shades of Grey?

What is the name of this novel? Dominate Hollywood? Until it was released, it had absolutely no connection to Hollywood; no matter how many music videos and commercials it made, it couldn't compare to a movie. As a reborn individual, instead of finding a way to become famous overnight by copying a movie, you're still dawdling around copying advertisements. Who cares about advertising creativity?

It was quite boring to read. The theme was simply shooting commercials, music videos, and then movies—a monotonous, chronological account. The filmmaking process was also too brief. This is why I don't like reading purely directorial books; without researching the background stories and creative processes of each film, the writing becomes very dry.

You don't date women yourself, but you're always introducing your buddies to people. Are you here to read about your buddies hooking up with girls? Is there nothing else to write about? It's not that you can't write about it, but what's the point?
