A dream fades, a grand tale of the Chinese entertainment industry unfolds! My name is Lin Yuan, courtesy name Muzhi. I have just been reborn. Having stepped back into the film and television industry, this time I plan to play it safe, develop stealthily, and then actively seek out powerful figures, live off their wealth, form cliques, and build small circles. My ideal goal is simple: to grow bigger and stronger, become the industry leader, and then comfortably lie down in middle age, watching the capital circle and the world of fame and fortune rise and fall. Alas, it's a pity that after being reborn, I still have the physical attributes of an ordinary person, so this book has only one female protagonist. (PS: This is a joke. The real reason is that I have good upbringing, strong morals, noble character, and am pure and innocent... Okay, I can't make this up anymore, it's because I can't beat her!)

Chen Ze, who possesses a vast library of future films, originally wanted to become a director and make all those great movies. As it turned out, the first problem he faced was not how to make the movie, but that he was about to be expelled from school because he didn't have enough credits. So, after meeting Anne Hathaway, he suddenly had a brilliant idea: why not just make a movie to secure his academic credits and, incidentally, persuade Anne to come and be the lead actress for him? And so began Chen Ze's legendary journey, from the Oscars to the three major European awards, winning awards while also achieving great commercial success. Years later, at a grand awards ceremony, when the host asked him about his initial thoughts on entering the film industry, he simply said shyly: "Actually, at first I just wanted to get some credits."

"Our reporter will bring you the latest news from Langyuan Media. Let's hand the camera over to her!" In the picture, a young reporter stands in front of a charming and handsome middle-aged man. "Director He, what do you think of the online claim that 'there are several circles in the Chinese entertainment industry, and you are the only one who matters'?" "Just sit there and watch. If they want to call me 'Grandpa,' there's nothing I can do about it." "Many people say that your awards were obtained through public relations? Do you deny it?" "I don't deny it~" The reporter then asked, "Director He, many people envy you, saying that Brother Xiaoyao married Ling'er and they all feel the pain of having their wife stolen. Can you share your feelings about this? Or how did you win over the fairy sister?" "I've said it many times already, it wasn't me who pursued her, it was her who pursued me, it's just that I couldn't escape her grasp..." "So, in your family, who is in charge?"

6 华 Chinese Showbiz: A Max-Level Director Who Debuted as a Singer 华娱：满级导演但歌手出道 Azure Radiance青光辉Urban3.8M WordsOngoing Tentatively planned as a story with two female leads, Fan and Gao, plus a love interest, Wang Fei. He starts out as a singer, then becomes both a singer and director in the middle portion. (The first film is tied to his singing career, and many readers have said the combination works really well.)

Curator note

The tentative cast includes two female leads, Fan Bingbing and Gao Xiaosong, and a confidante, Faye Wong. In the early stages, the singer and director roles were combined; in the middle stages, the singer and director roles were combined (the first film combined the singer's career, which many readers said was a very good combination); in the later stages, the director should be the main focus. Reborn in the 1998s, Zheng Hui possesses the golden finger of an all-around director (only for the rational production of cultural and entertainment products, which will not be mentioned later). In this day and age, you can't make movies if you're not in the industry, right? What should you do? Maybe you should debut as a singer first.
