The Best Movie Actor In Hollywood!Best Movie Star

最佳影星

9/10


Я дочитал до конца и так расстроен, что это произведение 2017 года, так бы хотелось еще больше прочитать (Может быть у автора есть продолжение?)
Честно, жаль что я не прочитал это раньше, очень хорошо написано, захватывающий сюжет, легко читается, нет сильных логических ошибок, крутой MC, который вдохновляет (я долго обдумывал насчет фитнес зала, и как назло ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) начал читать эту новеллу ну и это послужило дополнительной мотивацией, как никак, надо равняться на легенду. По правде говоря, я слабо слежу за Голливудом, поэтому большинство актеров я просто знаю по персонажам из их фильмов, поэтому я столкнулся с проблемой, что не знаю про кого идет речь в той или иной главе и приходилось почти каждого гуглить, но в этом есть и свой плюс, я теперь более-менее помню имена и как выглядят большинство персонажей, будет в будущем что вспомнить.

Не буду больше ничего говорить, лучше один раз самому прочитать, чем слушать других.

Very enjoyable read. The MC is a playboy, through and through. He is not particularly good at acting. However, he only chooses projects that are destined to succeed, which gradually earns him a reputation in Hollywood as the man who never picks a failing project.

His acting skills do not improve significantly, yet he still rises to become a major star in Hollywood. That said, his journey is far from easy, as he constantly faces rivals on set and becomes entangled in various schemes and power struggles.

How is a protagonist average looking and handsome at the same time...

Not bad—honestly, pretty great. A solid 4/5.

​The story kicks off with the MC nearly getting roped into doing porn, but he manages to bail just in time and escape to Hollywood. 😁

​The pacing is slow, but not dragging. It’s basically about a guy from Mexico (with a Chinese soul) slowly clawing his way up the ladder of fame—climbing like a literal alpinist.

​The plot rhythm goes something like this: slow burn, slow burn, tension builds... and then BOOM, a huge leap or a crisis hits. This cycle happens maybe 4 times or more throughout the novel.

​Each time, the scale shifts. You get a real sense of accomplishment and watch the MC evolve from an average Joe into a man who only cares about himself, his fame, show biz, and his girlfriends. That’s it.

​The MC is just a regular guy. Even though he's a transmigrator, he doesn't know Hollywood inside out—he knows about as much as any average foreigner. Maybe a bit more just because the author did their research. He starts from scratch. He only knows the big broad strokes, like Marvel = money, Depp’s wife = a b*tch, Tom Cruise’s cult = evil, etc. It’s all fragmentary info. He often only remembers the obvious stuff when he runs straight into it.

​Because of that, there's no crazy "god-mode" future planning since he simply doesn't know enough.
​The characters feel alive. They can actually sway your real-life opinion of people. Like, I automatically label Christina Aguilera a "bitch" now whenever I hear her name. Same with Spike Lee—seeing the toxic environment of his inner circle really soured my impression of him, even though I don't know him personally.

​There isn't really a harem. The MC is a playboy in the sense that he switches girlfriends often, but he’s rarely with two girls at the same time—at least not that I recall. Maybe a secret mistress here or there. Most of the women are connected to his work or drawn to his fame.
​And don't worry, he has a great female agent who never falls for the MC's charms. Right to the very end, she just treats him as a tool to make money. It’s refreshing to see characters like that.

The MC has friends too, and he actually tries to help them out whenever he can.

​There's almost no nationalism. Around the second arc (chapters 400-600), he goes to China to promote a movie, but it's not presented as some "china numba one" propaganda—it’s just a business trip. He speaks fluent Chinese there, gets popular, and is back in Hollywood 5 chapters later. That’s it. No other real mentions of China, aside from occasional characters who actually work in Hollywood.

​The MC has no family. There was even a funny bit where someone tried to claim to be his mom once he got famous. 😁

​What else? It’s very easy to immerse yourself in the story. You’ll find yourself smiling without realizing it, or getting anxious when you know a crisis is looming. The author writes well.

​Of all this author’s works, this is my favorite. It really fulfills that "I wish I could be a Hollywood star" fantasy.

I think I have read this somewhere but forgot, kinda mid
