Chinese Showbiz: I Give the Stars a Makeover

A dry, rambling account of events.

I've read about a dozen chapters, but it feels a bit rushed. I can't get into the main content, so it doesn't feel very real. And don't always stick to copying domestic things like songs and books. Try copying some English songs or something. US dollars are still quite valuable.

Why invest in *Chinese Paladin 1* if it wasn't profitable? Because it could promote actors. So what was the result of investing in it? The result was that the lead role, which had the most potential to make stars, went to Liu Yifei, instead of any actresses they had signed with the company. On the surface, the reason for investing in *Chinese Paladin 1* was its ability to promote actors, but in reality, it was simply to curry favor with Liu Yifei.

Actually, the directing department at Beijing Film Academy generally doesn't admit outsiders; it's all based on recommendations and internal recruitment. Therefore, many actual directors come from the cinematography and management departments. In 2002, they only admitted six people, including a few from overseas. The numbers were also small in 2001 and 2000.

This consecration ceremony reminds me of the news about the "master-broker"—it's all gone now.

After watching for a while, I realized why the results were mediocre. The approach was wrong. If you want a single female lead, you have to get in quickly or establish a connection. Premature introductions are best avoided, or you should directly change things, acting as a bulldozer, with the prodigal son eventually reformed.

I couldn't continue reading Chapter 44; I felt the author's values ​​were very problematic. He criticizes various people, verbally attacking them. He also looks down on various directors, calling Sissi a "little foreigner" when they meet her—an insulting nickname that is beyond what most people can tolerate—all while acting as if he's doing it for her own good.

Speechless. 😥 Twilight has a fan base for its novels; you should just write a script and register. 😥

I came in because I saw a story with a single female lead and Liu Yifei; I'll check it out first, and if it's a harem story with multiple female leads, I'll leave immediately.

Wow, so many rice coins to give out monthly pass red envelopes! You need a lot of monthly passes to get recommended!
