The plot was good and flowed smoothly; the authors were clearly experienced. However, the part about the romance with Zhou Xun was disgusting to watch; it had a sticky, mushy feel to it. You know, Zhou Xun is a method actress; how she gets boyfriends... You know what I mean.
Get some TV hosts, like Zhou Tao, Li Hong, and Li Sisi. Then cultivate a few young actresses as goddaughters, and that should be about it. For example, Zhou Tao could take Gulnazar as her goddaughter, Li Hong could take Wang Churan as her goddaughter, and Bingbing could take Li Yitong as her goddaughter. That's a much more sophisticated approach than traditional Chinese entertainment. Add some decorum...
Zhou Xun is talented and a good actress. But her figure and looks are maybe a 65-70 out of 100. She wasn't particularly beautiful when she was younger; she was just considered charming and pretty. Bingbing (Yuan Yuan) is much prettier. Add Li Xiaoran too, she's fair-skinned and has a good figure. I don't know what the author was thinking?
Such a familiar name, such a familiar cover.
How can someone like the protagonist have the energy to focus on his career? He's playing the field with two women, all his energy is on them. Dating even one woman is exhausting, let alone two. If you like women, just have sex with them. You're talking about pure love? That's pure bullshit!
I read over 30 chapters. Then I stopped reading because of Zhou Xun. This author is quite eccentric. There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Why insist on using Zhou Xun? Wasn't Li Xiaoran, at that time, innocent and cute? Wasn't Jiang Qinqin pretty? I acknowledge Zhou Xun's acting skills, but her looks are really average. Even in her youth, Zhou Xun was only a 75 out of 100. And Zhou Xun, born in 1998, has a boyfriend? I guess the author is a fan of Zhou Xun.
I dropped it after chapter 156. The beginning was good, but it started to fall apart here. The fictional character "Yang Xiaoye" started taking up a lot of space. It felt jarring to read; maybe the author had their own reasons.
I'm speechless that they even made such terrible movies as The Forbidden Kingdom and Red Cliff.
Why not make something like John Wick or Taken? Isn't making these terrible movies a waste of time?
The previous book contained green, so be careful.
I nurtured Nakamori Akina for a long time in my previous book, only for her to go and publicly announce her relationship with someone else. Luckily, the book was banned, otherwise there would have been even more criticism.
Seeing Zhou Xun as the female lead is enough to make me give up. Is there no one else in the entertainment industry?
