Chinese Showbiz 1997: Starting a Girl Group

She had a son for someone else in '93, an unmarried mother... Does she really think she's some kind of innocent saint?

That's kind of funny. Do you really think no one tried forming a girl group back then? The market just wasn't right.

The protagonist has won too many awards, it feels a bit unreal, like how it's hard for someone from mainland China to win a major award even with a piece like "Nocturne." It's politically correct. Looking at the character cards with several foreigners and the protagonist's plan to develop in America, I don't believe it's possible without a system. It's too fantastical. Maybe I'm just being cynical. I'm leaving.

The pig's dialogue was too greasy, and his dialogue with Yu Feihong was even greasy.

The author was definitely a young person, completely unaware of the social atmosphere of the time. Society back then was both open and conservative; behind the scenes, chaos reigned, especially in the arts and culture circles, which were in utter disarray. Yet, outwardly, it was extremely conservative, with students, parents, experts, and professors wielding considerable influence.

There is no market for girl groups in China.

This is a great theme, but the author didn't quite distinguish between the main and secondary points of enjoyment. The protagonist is already invincible in the mainland pop music scene after just one or two albums, which makes it difficult to create enjoyment points later on since there are no rivals.

There are too many women in the parts; it's too cloying.

They're all actors, and they've formed a singing group?! Qin Lan's voice is like a croaking duck! Even Angela Chang or Cyndi Wang are a million times better than these. If you want to sleep with pretty actresses, just be a capitalist or a director!

Oh no, the author liked this! I feel like this is really going to be abandoned. Please don't! 😭
