This Director Loves Making Friends

Lao Bei, I'm starting to think about giving up on you. I only subscribed to one of the dozens of chapters you wrote after that, and I haven't read any of them. When you first published your book, I thought you were learning how to manage a large film crew from a famous director in China, and then your connections helped you get recommended to go to Hong Kong to make movies.

Nowadays, most people don't have the patience to wait for the character's developmental stages when reading books; they just want to enjoy the story. Therefore, the concept of "golden finger" abilities is highly controversial. I've read 20 chapters, and there's someone commenting on every single one.

It's a very engaging story, but the main character's name is too difficult to remember. Ke Qing, with two first tones, sometimes makes my tongue writhe if I pronounce it slowly. To be honest, I've never seen a three-character name without first tones that lacks rhyme. I hope the protagonist of my next book will have a better name. Or maybe I could ask if it could be changed, even deleting a single character would be fine.

Making money without spending a single penny? Then what's the point of making it?

The previous book focused on award-winning arthouse directors. I suggest this book avoid focusing on awards as it becomes too formulaic and tiresome. (Also, stop writing about schools; the previous book was all about spending time at schools providing political achievements—busy but not helpful, though certainly not lacking in tasks). Just win a few substantial awards.

The pacing has been good so far, but the constant filming and award-winning movies are starting to feel a bit tiring. A little more slice-of-life content with so many leading ladies would be a good way to balance it out.

If you can't describe the intimate moments between men and women, then don't write about them. Who are you trying to understand by using all those metaphors? Do I have to use my own imagination to read a web novel? Just be direct. If you're going to do it, then do it. Otherwise, don't write anything. It's too weak.

As for the movie data, you can research it yourself and understand it. You don't need to include all the box office figures for movies released around the same time as the male lead, right? It doesn't matter in the free chapters, but try to reduce these kinds of paragraphs after it's officially released; just mention them briefly. Anyone who wants to know can just search it on Baidu.

Doesn't making friends offer a chance to submit a script? They just plagiarize foreign classics! They plagiarize award-winning classic films from various countries! Director Xie and Director Zhang, aren't they capable of making films? Submitting a script gives you a chance to stand out!
