There's a major drawback to selling scripts like this: even though the movie made a lot of money, you only get a few tens of thousands of dollars. That's not satisfying; it's frustrating. It's a toxic point...
The biggest problem with plagiarized scripts is a lack of appreciation. If a script has the potential to be a huge hit, not investing in it is like giving it away for free. It's a way of showing off that even though I'm poor, I'm incredibly talented. Giving away hundreds of millions while I'm just scraping by 😅
The biggest problem is that Hong Kong entertainment portrays love as innocent and pure. Everyone else is playing ping-pong; who's going to play innocent with you? Also, the actresses introduced early on are all ugly; they might as well not have appeared at all. Everything else is alright; it's a little better if the protagonist becomes a complete scumbag when he wants to build a harem.
The main characters are already famous, they've already accumulated their initial wealth, and yet they still let women act so unreasonably. Either you openly spend money and become a scumbag, or you find a female lead who's devoted to you. These days, romance dramas are boring and exhausting to watch.
Even I, a post-80s generation, don't appreciate Cherie Chung's looks; she's quite ordinary.
Later, he started writing songs for free and giving them away, even writing about blue and white porcelain. Was that in line with the trends at the time? Was he showing off his talent? Was he doing charity?
The unforgettable love of three generations 😍😍😍
The author's plot felt disjointed, like many things were missing, and I often skipped over parts of it!
Boring
It's getting more and more boring. Now there's no main plot at all. It's all jumping around in circles. It feels like even the author doesn't know what to write anymore.
Haha, if you don't become a capitalist tycoon, those women won't even give you a second glance. Look at Kwan Ka-wai, Wong Cho-yin, and Lee Ka-sumi—weren't they all in it for the sake of becoming rich? Other people act just for fun.
