If you're looking for something sentimental, dreamy, or artsy, this might be worth watching. After all, the protagonist's journey through time and rebirth to become a menial laborer is quite something. But if you're looking for a mundane character obsessed with money, women, future prospects, power, and the future, then don't bother reading this. The protagonist is wicked and only wants to be a virtuous gentleman.

The main character is neither charming nor outstanding, and the daily life is written in a bland and uninteresting way.
If a book with this level of writing can make it onto the new book charts, then Qidian (the platform) is really going downhill.
Author, are you sure there were surveillance cameras in 1982? Back then, it all depended on the photographer's skill and experience. Surveillance cameras didn't appear until after the 1990s, and even then, the quality wasn't very good.
Honestly, if you were still at the bottom of the film and television industry at sixty-three in your past life, you must have been a piece of trash. My country's film and television industry has developed rapidly over the past forty years. If you are willing to learn, you will eventually find yourself at the bottom based on your qualifications.
The synopsis is similar to another one I read before. It starts with someone from Journey to the West who sneaks into the film crew, and later joins the Dream of the Red Chamber crew. It gets more and more absurd, with the Dream of the Red Chamber crew having an obedience test. I couldn't continue watching because it was too ridiculous.
I recommend the movie "Beijing Story" (1986) to all of you.
It's available on Bilibili. The film tells a story of Beijing in 1984, and I think it can be watched as a documentary about Beijing in the 1980s. It covers the clash between Eastern and Western cultures, unemployed youth, college entrance exam students, the city's landscape, and even the drums in teahouses—all sorts of aspects. It was made by a Chinese-American, so it doesn't have the filter of the film studio system of that time.

I suddenly realized I've written over 60 chapters, and it feels like a third of them are just idle chatter with a few older women, padding the word count...
Old bookworms should skip this; the writing style is just too frustrating!
