For Hong Kong entertainment novels, a few female leads are enough; don't have too many, or it will just read like a diary.
Michelle Reis has such a terrible reputation; once you're associated with her, you can forget about having a good time. Your family will be in turmoil, and that's the best-case scenario. Back then, the Hong Kong star image was so heavily filtered that people didn't really know much about them. Now, with the internet connecting the world, all sorts of shady characters have been exposed!
I recommend Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung working together on a Ghost Blows Out the Light IP universe.
Don't just copy Jackie Chan and waste his talent; that would be a complete waste. Think bigger! With Jackie Chan around, why not take advantage of him? Start an Indiana Jones movie before Hollywood does! Utilize the Ghost Blows Out the Light IP and the imaginative comedy writers of the 80s to challenge Hollywood. Hollywood wasn't strong then.
The career storyline is good, but the romance storyline is a bit slow. Apart from the part with Brigitte Lin, there's no foreshadowing. After filming the movie, he suddenly flies from Hong Kong to the US to pursue her. There's no prior interaction between them, nor is there any indication that he has any special feelings for her. It's quite abrupt, as if the author suddenly thought of her and then impulsively decided to pursue her.
It's alright, but maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe it's because the era of Hong Kong entertainment is too long past, but my current perception of Hong Kong entertainment is really quite negative. That's just my personal opinion. Actually, I feel that the author was held back by the subject matter of Hong Kong entertainment.
There are many celebrities in Hong Kong with questionable tastes; authors need to be careful. Otherwise, if someone reports it, the book could be shut down.
No one in Hong Kong entertainment industry is carrying the torch anymore.
Sigh, it's rare to find a good Hong Kong entertainment book. But... It's a pity about Yan Zu.
Brigitte Lin, the eternal goddess
