Once You Enter Chinese Showbiz, You're in Too Deep

Well, this book is actually quite well-written for a Chinese entertainment novel, with a good pace. However, the female lead's character and daily life feel very off. The entire book is about fawning over her, keeping her tightly wrapped in a utopia, making her naive and unlikable. Plus, she's surrounded by several troublesome people.

It's great! Most importantly, the protagonist is tough enough; he doesn't back down from anything. Unlike other entertainment novels, which are full of social niceties, grand strategies, and prioritizing the big picture. I always have to think twice before reading a novel! 👍👍👍

I've watched it twice, and I might have skipped some parts, but let me just say this: Li An clearly knew the protagonist and Yi Fei were in a relationship, yet he kept urging you to let Yi Fei star in "Lust, Caution"! They're practically enemies! The protagonist is so spineless; he's already become a valuable asset, and then a washed-up director comes knocking on his door and slaps him in the face! He has absolutely no backbone! Author, please, write properly!

The Forbidden Kingdom is indeed a terrible movie, that's undeniable. Readers have two main concerns: first, the protagonist is so powerful, he could easily provide better resources for the actress; second, they're worried the actress might take the blame for this bad film. Let me explain.

Very good. I love this fast pace. Who the hell wants you to read a novel that's already been published but a movie hasn't even been released yet?

After reading the novel, I want to ask the author: you must really dislike Liu Yifei, right? Seeing your comments after chapter 87, I think they're very accurate and realistic, but why is it written so unrealistically in the novel? The protagonist is portrayed as such a simp, and Liu Yifei is depicted as so pretentious, demanding, and acting as if it's all perfectly natural.

The true significance of Painted Skin lies in the fact that before that, movies typically featured a Hong Kong actor and a mainland actor as the male and female leads, respectively. People generally believed that Hong Kong actors were a guarantee of box office success, so many Hong Kong actors were arrogant and looked down on mainland actors.

Does the author really like to do things their own way? I paid to read your novel for enjoyment; don't bring your own petty thoughts into it. Not being assertive in front of your mother-in-law, and being overly subservient to your girlfriend—these are unreasonable and can be completely changed. Don't be so polarized.

After that, I didn't feel any sweetness, I just felt like I was licking it.
