Chinese Entertainment Starts with an Esports Champion

I think even if you wrote an Ultraman story and tried to get into the Chinese entertainment industry, it would be better than esports.

Your timeline is from 2017. Instead of choosing a post-90s actress for the female lead, you chose Yang Rong, who is almost 40 years old. It's really jarring.

The author deleted comments? I'm seriously laughing. Even offering kind suggestions isn't allowed anymore...

In the era of internet traffic, to succeed in the entertainment industry, you need to manage your scandals well in the early stages. It's not that you can't have scandals, but you can't be this reckless. Before you become powerful, your female fanbase is very important, especially since the male lead is currently a singer, and his popularity is already far less than that of actors.

A champion is guaranteed a minimum annual salary of ten million, so why would they give up such a high salary and a lifetime of honor to force their way into the entertainment industry? Is being a champion some kind of advantage in the entertainment world?

This is so awkward. They're always talking about how awesome an 18-year-old is and then suddenly liking a 36-year-old. Is the author lacking maternal love? Does the author not have a mother?

If you tried to get involved in the entertainment industry in 2017 without capital or connections, you would just be an exploited worker. They would ask you to accompany others and if you dared not to, they would blacklist you.

Yang Rong is almost forty years old, right? In 2017, if they weren't casting actresses born in the mid-90s, even those born in the 2000s could be leading ladies.

To sum it up in one sentence: esports, I can't write about esports; Chinese entertainment, I've written about it as a pile of crap...

Esports is at the top of the social hierarchy, right? Wouldn't it be a step down for esports players to try their hand at the entertainment industry?
