Chinese Showbiz: Starting by Running the Mahua Theater Troupe

Some parts are alright, while others are downright idiotic. For example, the author clearly has preconceived notions about who plays which role. In the film and television industry, casting is entirely up to the investors and directors. The "domineering CEO" role doesn't require high acting skills.

I can't take it anymore! The latest chapters are too toxic! Songs like "Invisible Wings," "Left Side," and "Sun Never Sets"—songs that could instantly elevate actresses to superstardom—are being given to Li Xiaolu, Gao Yuanyuan, and Wang Luodan?! You're really going all out to woo women… Even Xia Luo wouldn't dare do this. The songs are a complete waste.

I saw someone say that they couldn't make a domineering CEO drama without Deng Chao. The editor just wanted to promote him, so they said that. It's obviously just making excuses. The lead actor even thinks it makes sense. They're so brainless. I guess I can't watch the rest of the show. Can a brainless lead actor do business?

Don't be misled by Ma Dongmei; in reality, Ma Li's looks and figure are just as good as Wang Zhi's. They probably cast both Ma Li and Wang Zhi when filming Charlotte.

What kind of concept is "distant cousin"? Cousins ​​are just cousins. Once they're further apart, they become family members, and then clansmen. A younger cousin is a close relative, so how can he be called a distant cousin?

The plot is uninteresting, the food isn't great either, so its sales performance upon release wasn't going to be good. The author probably chose actresses he thought were attractive, essentially projecting himself into the protagonist's character, so the result was predictable. Plus, the commercial aspects were written in a very bland way. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good grief. This is the first time I've ever seen an entertainment novel protagonist who doesn't eat the celebrities themselves, but instead eats the scraps, like the celebrities' agents. How is this supposed to become popular?

What about Ma Li? Compared to the other female leads, I prefer Ma Li at this point. Why not steal Ma Li's thunder at this time?

The beginning was fine, but then Shen Teng started acting like a pimp, which became unbearable. He inexplicably took the lead, sending roses, gifts, and love letters to the protagonist in the protagonist's name, all without the protagonist's knowledge. It was utterly disgusting. The pacing was perfectly good at the beginning.

Having read so many Chinese entertainment novels, this is the first one by Xiong Naijin. 😥
