Welcome to read the new book "Actors Have No Holidays"~ Han Jue, a young film and television screenwriter who was still struggling, woke up and found that not only had he changed, but the world had also changed. The entertainment industry in China here is more developed than Hollywood on the other side of the ocean. The China Golden Bull Awards have become the most valuable film awards in the world. "Singer", as the top competition for singers, has been in its tenth season; "The Voice of China" has a season every three years, and it is a national carnival every time; "The King of Masked Singer" never lacks buried voices every week. You can easily see them on the street: the crew filming a show, the anchor holding a mobile phone, the video influencer pranking passers-by... This is the best time for entertainment practitioners. In this world, Han Jue, who is a has-been idol star, is on the edge of this entertainment age. He no longer wants to be a star at all, okay? He just wants to swim happily in the ocean of spiritual food and be a quiet homebody. Group 1: 579483758 Group 2: 160824139
