Chinese Showbiz: A Director's Unrestrained Life

In 2000, a director who won the Silver Lion for Best Director wrote a story about begging Li Xiaoran to act in his film, saying he was so excited when she agreed to play the lead role. Yeah, that's incredibly low-class.

Do you look down on the status of directors? You won three Best Director awards, and you're still begging like a dog to get someone to direct your film, and the person you're begging is some nobody actor.

I just don't understand why all these rebirth novels have to portray the protagonist as a complete idiot. They're supposed to be fifty or sixty years old across both lifetimes, but they lack any sense of maturity. If you don't have the writing skills, don't embarrass yourself.

Sweet

A director with no class at all? Do you know that if a director who has won major awards just hints that he wants to make a movie, actresses will fight tooth and nail to get roles? If you're writing about directors in the Chinese entertainment industry, please look up the pyramid structure of the entertainment industry. Look at how many movies Chen Kaige has flopped, yet he still has a lot of capital fawning over him.

Brother, please do some research before you write this down. Don't just make something up on a whim.

Why reject Yan Danchen? She's already in the harem, and her reputation is quite good, so why not accept her?

An adult sleeping with a minor? Fan Bingbing wasn't even a minor when she filmed "Princess Pearl." Were there no beautiful girls in the class of '96?

The author should consider Director Chen's status. Although he's often used as a joke these days, his position is extraordinary. If he just announces a movie project with specific requirements for a particular role, a ton of actors will flock to him, regardless of suitability.

He spends all his time writing about the various troubles in his parents' family, and then he makes such amazing movies, but he has absolutely no class!
