The production cost of "The Wandering Earth 1" was 320 million yuan. The production cost of "Chinese Table Tennis" was 350 million yuan. "Mr. Red Carpet" cost 260 million. The production cost of "Hot and Spicy" was 350 million yuan. I don't know and I don't dare to ask, but it seems like I'd offend someone.
I couldn't stand watching the drastically altered mythological stories. They wanted actors with good acting skills, but they didn't like Hu Ge's acting, so they cast Liu Shishi as the female lead.
Several issues regarding entertainment novels ⚠️
1⃣️ Incorrect cheat codes or system hack settings Authors of entertainment novels often overlook a major problem: the protagonist in a time-travel/reincarnation story remembers the sheet music and lyrics of so many songs from their past life! Haha, even professional singers forget the lyrics when performing their own songs.
The story begins with a 10-year timeline, but the protagonist is reborn 3 years prior. Those years were wasted; he accomplished nothing and remains a virgin! He's looked at 50 pictures and hasn't pursued a single woman, just playing around with flirtation. What kind of entertainment novel is this?! Also, the protagonist's personality is too weak, and the plot is too rambling and disjointed. I don't recommend paying to read it!
The director wants to save money for the investors? After the male lead becomes the director or producer and brings in investment, your first priority should be to pay high salaries to your crew. Excellent lighting technicians, cinematographers, editors, action directors, special effects artists, art directors, costume designers, prop masters, etc., Are all scarce talents.
What an idiot, saving investors money.
Can you please stop writing about the messy drama in the entertainment industry? Is the protagonist (the author) a champion of justice? All you do is criticize this and that all day long; it's really giving me a headache. Focus on making films, and stop criticizing. There are no moral saints in this world.
I don't want to watch anymore
I thoroughly enjoyed the adaptations in this book, but the biggest flaw is the lack of artist signings. Actors like Zhu Yilong and Liu Shishi—it's frustrating that you promote them only to have them profit off others. These young idols with unique characteristics and considerable talent—not signing them for artist management and having them work for others is a huge waste.
Do you know why it's not popular? A story about transmigrating for years and ending up like this, with a system involved—it's just self-indulgent writing, a bunch of personal biases.
This is a self-indulgent piece of writing; after all that, it's completely pointless. Even the system couldn't stand it anymore and gave it a Bilibili channel, which it then just sent to it. All it does is post a few ridiculous videos, without any idea of how to develop the website or its future. There's no plan whatsoever.
