Hollywood: I Become a Legend Through Special Effects

This book features a single female protagonist; if you don't like that, please skip it!

If the spring breeze has pity on the flowers, why not grant me youth again?

Let me rant about this part of the WeChat storyline. In 2009, a pivotal year for the mobile internet, the protagonist actually went to Tencent and revealed the core concept of WeChat, even accepting a 60% equity split between Tencent and himself. This is utterly ridiculous. In the internet age, innovation and first-mover advantage are the most valuable assets.

It's a classic time-traveling, entertainment industry romance story, but what's unique is that the male protagonist carves out a niche for himself in Hollywood through special effects and investment, rather than becoming an actor or director.

I at least know Shu Chang; she could play Tianshan Tonglao and Xiaoyu when she was young without being convincing. Wang Zhi? She can fight, but I don't know her well. And then, nothing more. That's how it is with novels; if the beginning is unpleasant, it's hard to persevere to the end. It's a good place; the writing style is quite smooth.

I read three-quarters of it in one go and thought it was okay, but some parts were jarring. For example, it's ridiculous that a multi-billion dollar CEO wouldn't have a personal assistant, and instead has every other CEO acting as his assistant wherever he goes. Doesn't he have anything better to do? He's constantly following his company around, meticulously arranging every detail of his schedule.

Author, aren't you talking nonsense? Due to the special nature of the film and television industry, foreign capital can only hold a maximum of 49% of the shares, and Hong Kong and Macao can hold 75%, which hasn't changed to this day. How do you plan to circumvent this policy?

The hundred-plus chapters were a complete mess, poorly written and lacking in quality. The chapter about Ren Zhengfei, in particular, was so poorly written that it was like he was practically kneeling in worship, completely disregarding business etiquette.

The beginning was good, both in terms of description and setting. However, it gradually fell into clichés later on, and personally, I couldn't continue reading after more than a hundred chapters. Compared to the author's previous work, there has been improvement, but it's becoming increasingly similar.

Extremely pretentious; recommended to watch without thinking; if you're thinking, turn left and leave.
