Chinese Showbiz: Filming Classic Novels in the 1980s

This book is entirely the author's product of wild imagination, using the names of famous people and writing whatever comes to mind. Zhu Lin's parents, university professors, are portrayed as elderly people living in a hutong (traditional alleyway). Gong Xue joined the army alone in her teens and served for several years, but is depicted as a frail young girl.

Could the author do some research on the female celebrities' backgrounds while writing this? It's so distracting.

Making 3 cents on a bar of soap, even with 100 million yuan worth of soap, you only earn 30,000 yuan. Is that business? That's pure charity. How much could a soap factory produce in the 1980s? 10,000 Bars of soap a day? That's only a little over 3 million yuan a year. You only earn 300 yuan a year?

I just want to ask one question: is it really true that one is born with an innate, eternal, and self-sustaining body? I don't understand why so many people who have already obtained identities through illegal immigration need to transmigrate. If someone who looks similar dies but has an identity, you can borrow it, have it arranged by the system, be adopted, etc., Wouldn't that work?

The author seems to have completely ignored the background information from that era. It's too superficial.

Afraid of comments being deleted

I suspect the author was influenced by someone's Noble Phantasm before writing this.

The premise is weak; the sudden appearance of sponsorship for the Journey to the West film after such a difficult start is too abrupt. The transition from a Shanghai garment factory owner to a Beijing alleyway vendor dealing in antiques is even more baffling. Back then, there was a strict rule limiting the number of employees to eight; didn't they know about the "Fool's Melon Seeds" incident?

Extremely poisonous! They have absolutely no common sense!

You have to do some research before writing a book, otherwise don't write it at all and just make things up.
