Chinese Entertainment: Becoming an Actor Starting in 2000

The protagonist of this novel is written too deliberately by the author; he's not honest, but rather foolish and stupid. First: If the protagonist is so stupid, how did he even know the word "time travel"? Second: If it's so stupid, how did the main character selling jianbing guozi in 2023 collect money?

This protagonist, well, he's not likable. He can feign ignorance but can't be truly stupid.

This is so weak! The main character is always showing off, and the author is disgusting to readers. He's barely a movie star, yet he's always trying to be something he's not. He fawns over those whitewashing traitors, then gets cast, only to be rejected. It's just an average movie, much better than those whitewashing traitors.

Why do most Chinese entertainment novels always feature the same few second- or third-tier female celebrities? There are hundreds of second- and third-tier female celebrities, with many choices for each age group. There are plenty of beautiful and well-built actresses, unlike first-tier female celebrities who only have a limited number of options.

I've subscribed to the whole thing, but I just can't keep reading past chapter 350. The plot is bland, and the presence or absence of a female lead is also fine, but the main character himself really doesn't grow at all ╰(‵□′)╯ including his so-called acting skills, which haven't improved at all!!!

The protagonist's temperament requires a strong female lead.

Forcing a foolish act is indeed too deliberate. It's understandable that he still feels inferior and cowardly because of his past life experiences, but at least he should have memories of his past life. And even if he lived in a small county town in his past life, he shouldn't be completely ignorant and unfamiliar with everyone. It would be more reasonable to set him up as someone who traveled from ancient times.

This career path is too slow, it's all about filming. Things aren't like they used to be. In the entertainment industry, if you don't climb the ladder, you're just an actor whose fate depends on other people's moods. Who cares! The romance storyline is also drawn out, just like in the movie "The Saint". So many supporting characters are written out.

The later parts are so unrealistic. The reborn protagonist knows nothing. Let me put it this way, even though I hardly ever go online in the early 2000s, I know from people around me that Wuji is trash. And even the most reclusive person will find their own entertainment, especially someone with the protagonist's personality. The only possible form of entertainment is watching TV, because it's cheap. So it's really ridiculous how contrived it feels.

The fact that they broke up is funny, which proves that the author is deliberately being pretentious.
