/ Realistic / The Legendary Actor
Synopsis
After getting the final relief from his past sufferings, Chu Jiashu was given a second chance when he found himself in the body of an infant from an aristocratic family of Hall. Now, nothing is going to stop him from achieving his long-cherished dream of acting. Enter Renly Hall, a Hollywood miracle of 21st century.
Note from the translator - from me, that is.
"Honestly, I get frustrated too much when I look at countless subpar novels being translated day after day. So much human resources wasted. I kinda get what Qidian International is doing, but it is just, I can't bear the notion of having so many wonderful novels that belong to the Chinese platform to be left in the dust. English-speaking community should know of the existence of such brilliant works, and more so, they should enjoy them. The novel is by a Chinese dude "Qiqi Jia D Mao Mao", whatever that might mean, who wrote several showbiz novels (he is probably the best at what he is doing). It is not my work, I'm just a dude who, with the help of two free machine translators (DeepL and good ol' Google), can show you a hidden gem. Wait, you said machine translators? Sadly, yes. I can't speak Chinese at all, but fortunately, this novel is structured in a machine-translation-friendly way, like really so. Most of the time context is saved. I'm just polishing the edges with my superb (not really) editing skills, so you all chaps have a splendid experience with this good staff indeed. Actually, you can go and read machine translation or just wait for my updates. Up to you dudes and dudies. And then I go away...blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb....."
P.S.
"I am a knife for a hire. So the managers of the site can employ me for this novel, but please don't remove it. Oh, please, I'm begging you on my knees. You guys won't even think of translating this novel, and here I am "translating" it for free,.... well for the time being, that is mwahahaha!"
P.S. for P.S.
This novel does not contain the following:
Harem, definitely not NTR, stupid characters, NTR again (God, I hate NTR (secretly beating the meat for a one in hentai))
But this novel contains:
Great storyline, relatable characters, realistic situations, very fun moments as well as tear jerking ones (so much so, you will find your throat hella sore from crying all the time), surprise after surprise for the decisions that author went with.
You will have a good time indeed

Not really a shameless 5* review, as this novel really deserves those stars and even more. It is such a good novel that it compelled even me, the laziest dude on Earth, to start translating it. Just hope that it won't be taken down by the platform owners. If you want to read about an aspiring actor who has a cool personality and clairvoyance (of course), then this novel is your cup of tea. His interaction with real life celebrities is every bit as believable as it can possibly be for this type of novels, and also, his relationship with people close to him is really solid and makes you care for it a lot. The choice the author did when it comes to protag's love interest is pretty surprising considering that there so many attractive celebs, and yet all the more enjoyable because of it, not in spite of it. This novel will also teach you how to appreciate movies, and yep, music as well. You guessed it, our Renly will also dab in music, and dab he will. P.S. I still can't get my head around the fact that Qidian actively ignores such a great novel. It is not like this novel is being unprofitable in China, aux contraire, it does make a lot of money. Well, not as much as Legge with IRAS, but still... right? Am I right though guys? Am I right? Give me a five!
You know what, normally i read about 50ch before making a review. But today you get an exception. The synopsis caught my attention, honesty well done, perfect for gettin a reader's attention. (I'll make a real review later, ya know, when I actually read the story lol.) But ya your right in that there just aren't many good showbiz novels rn. Either I've already read them or they get cancelled for miscellaneous reasons. Imma give this one a shot for the amazing synopsis. ๐
I read this novel till 400 to 450 chapters, on MTL. Then I dropped it because it was becoming too melodramatic, in addition to Slow-pace of the Plot. First 300 chapters are very good but slightly slow. But after 400 chapters, Mc takes acting too seriously as Mc takes unnecessary (debatable) risks like taking anti cancer treatment to act as cancer patient in 50-50 movie (which would have been bearable for me if this novel was fast paced but it's not) and I think after 400 chapters, it will be very hard for this novel to become popular. So, if you want to make this novel really popular then author, you have to take advantage that it's present weakness is only it's slow paced plot (after 400 chapters, there will be more and more weaknesses) and to counter act against this weakness of Slow-paced story, number of daily chapters releasedย should increased to atleast 4 per day. I think, this method can boost this novel into top 50 original novels list until 400 chapters. This is just my opinion. Author, You can follow your own plan and ignore this comment.
This story is so good, im on chapter 223. You should read if you like to read acter and singer MC If you wanna read raws or use google translate here it is https://***.uukanshu.com/b/54464/
Everyone who is reading the reviews to see if the novel is a good read, check no further. This novel is a fucking masterpiece, a specimen of a book. I am sharing my thanks to the person translating this for us as it is one of the most enjoyable novels I have read in a while. Thank you!
recommend anyone to read this,one of the best novels i have read. this is a perfect example of a hidden gem. what to say about the story-it is realistic(except cancel he died once else it there is no unrealistic scenes in the story)
As a person who has fully read the whole book (2503 Chapters); i strongly suggest people to read this. It could definitely have been better, but it was nearing perfection. I admit that there were dozens of times I cried, specially at some moments. Not gonna spoil. There were also many things I hated, but the one I disliked the most was that at some point Annie Sullivan(litte girl patient) was just tossed aside. She was one of my favorite character and it hurts that her character was just pushed aside like that. Two things I hated the most were some people just hated MC for no reason and kept calling him a hypocrite, even when they don't fully know him; the other one is the unnecessary tragedies. Just happens for no reason and make MC go through pain. Some of them makes sense for character growth, while some were just nonsense. Just kept making MC go crazy. Overall still one of my best read though. Also the book stopped even when the story hasnt finished. Just a heads up for people who wants to continue reading the mtl version.

I swaer to God I literally lost braincells reading chapter 42. Mc who is a Natural born Actor that impresses almost everyone that seen his acting from nobodys to even Hollywood Superstars/Actors canโt for some braindeath reason look food at Camera if its about Photography and not filming. This is literally impossible because thats literally the smallest requirement to even consider yourself as a Actor.
This book isnโt necessarily the best out there, but it is genuinely enjoyable to read. A smart and focused protagonist, no modern-day harem or weird perversions, and all of the characters are interesting and fleshed out. This book is one of my favourites on this site! If anyone has suggestions on similar novels (hollywood, showbiz and reincarnation) it would be appreciated!
More chupsters please๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ Translator you are awesome have a nice lifeโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ Bye,bye,bye,bye,bye,bye,bye,bye,bye๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
just don't drop this and upload more chapters,cannot wait patiently, this story flow I can visualise it and be one with it as I travel reading it
i have read this book. the book is great. its focus on the film making. the MC is good for me, its not like other hollywood novel that the mc is trying to be like Harvey Weinstein or Hugh Hefner. the story is great, there so many conflict sometime face slap, not smooth sailing like other novel. overall its great. You should check out the author other novel
I love the story, I tried to read it on MTL and it is unreadable so please keep updating, I beg you. You have all my support. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
I might change the rating as a read the version here because I stopped reading it here due to it having MTL chapters. Anyway, this is a great read. I swear! This book introduced me to songs I wouldn't have known if I haven't read it here. Characters are complex. World building is great. Storyline flows smoothly. This is one of the gems here in Webnovel. Give it a try.
This Novel is amazing and you have done a very good job translating this only because you like it I really hope that they do not ban or delete this.
Since reading too much same topic I have developed some resistance, but this novel was able to get me going 2 days straight without rest. So you could imagine right the only problem is the update frequency but I understand the trouble as a fellow who has problem kinda same? I guess . Then also sigh... as a absolute reading fanatic it's bit saddening Talking about plot it's although conventional it w a s able to bring a personal charm. Every time when reading something we are like God's enjoying the life of the characters present in the novel , but in this I was also able to experience the life which is very rare sight(feeling) to me. I hope there will be more chapters and a teeny bit more effort full translation _not that I am complaining_ . [img=update][img=recommend]
Hell, I have no words to describe it and in fact it is a jewel that has made me cry more times in a few hours than in my entire life, author I love you and you also a translator. google translator sorry for the inconvenience shit shit shit I should learn English shit shit shit I should learn English shit shit shit I should learn English
The reason I am writing a review today is just how entertaining your synopsis is like the actual sypnosis for the novel is fairly normal but the rest just makes me want to read this a lot...

Another shameless 5* translator review. Guys, I'll be slowly editing the already uploaded 450 chapters including both the properly translated ones and the hilariously choppy MTL ones as well. Once I reach the 450th chapter, guess what, I guess will be just continuing to translate lol
