The Entertainment Industry Is Ups and Downs, My Brother Is a Director

The story focuses on the contemporary mainland entertainment industry, presenting an industry structure in which "strength is the core, resources are the supplement, and public opinion is the king", taking into account both the glamorous appearance and the underlying game. In the circle, there are creators who are devoted to their works and insist on quality (such as Yang Jingkang), practitioners who chase traffic and take advantage of opportunities (such as Hai Dao), and groups who rely on capital and create controversy (such as Paparazzi Asong). The hierarchy is clear and the interests are intertwined, forming a complex ecological closed loop. Industry rules are both inclusive and cruel: Newcomers can get opportunities based on their potential, but if they want to gain a foothold, they need to cross the triple threshold of "strength certification", "public opinion test" and "resource competition"; those who become famous are not only sought after by capital, but also vulnerable to the jealousy of peers and backlash from public opinion; and once the labels of "connected households" and "resource coffee" are affixed, it takes several times of effort to use their strength to wash away doubts, which is also the core dilemma that Wuming Lu has always faced.
