Seriously, is it ridiculous for the female lead to put Zeng Li and Fan Bingbing in the same billing order? Are they trying to get Zeng Li's attention? Who knew who she was 21 years ago?
As long as Liu Yifei isn't the female lead, I'll definitely give it my full support.
Furthermore, the author really doesn't understand readers' feelings, constantly writing about the female lead's past scandals. To be honest, I read this book because of Fan Xiaopang; I don't care about her real-life situation. Novels are supposed to create a beautiful story, but how did the author write it?
Finally, it's not Liu Yifei, an American, playing the female lead.
I have to speak out
Having read over 300 chapters, the protagonist hasn't spent a single penny on himself and is still practically penniless, without a car or a house—it's quite absurd.
The first film they approached was rejected by China Film Group. Now it's the second one and they're still asking for support? They have absolutely no common sense. Would a director who knows how to make money lack investment? Do they really need support?
Zeng Li should hurry up and say what he wants to say before running away.
How did the protagonist get so much money from his first movie? 63.1 Million, after deducting 8.3% Tax, only 57.86 Million remained. The production and distribution companies received 2025, plus overseas rights and various other benefits, totaling over 30 million. So you took 40%, receiving 12 million, while Li (the producer) got 18 million. And what about Enlight Media? Were they working for you for free?
I think everyone agrees that Zeng Li was promoted by the author Fatty on Qidian.com.
This protagonist lacks backbone and loyalty. Generally, if a film gets investment from a coal mine owner for its first project, they're expected to include them in subsequent projects. If others don't invest, that's their problem, but this protagonist doesn't even bother to ask before starting to act ridiculous. This is utterly pointless.
