Start by Spending One Billion [Entertainment Industry]

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Sheng Quan transmigrated into a novel in the entertainment industry that she had read before, and she even acquired a system.

The system stated: “Sorry, I’m a novice system. I can only provide you with money, nothing else.”

Sheng Quan looked at the balance in her account that could instantly make her the world’s richest: “You’re being modest.”

However, the system added:

“You can use them, but you can only invest in outstanding talents with excellent character who are currently at a low point in their lives. You’ll get a return only if the investment is successful.”

For ordinary people, this would be challenging. But Sheng Quan is a character who transmigrated, which means she has a god-like perspective that ordinary people don’t possess.

With thoughts full of money, she calmly counted:

* The gentle actor struggling with a tight budget who can’t land roles

* The gloomy song god whose singing career was destroyed despite a passion for singing

* The talented female director whose brilliance is hindered by a lack of funds

* The idol actor who loves the stage but lacks opportunities to perform

Sheng Quan waved the handfuls of money in her hands: There’s so much that I can’t even count; I’m going to make a fortune.

Reading Guide:

*The female lead is career-oriented.

* Wealth accumulation from rags to riches

Fun read with a likeable MC, what's not to love. While there is a system it's more of a companion to support the MC. The story isn't focused on faceslapping or anything like that, just good vibes all the way through. The MC is also a genuinely good person so seeing her succeed is a joy in itself.

I really liked this novel.

The sense of strength and triumph I got from this novel is like no other.

The MC is just so great. As another comment mentioned, I've read on and on about male leads who no one dares to cross because they are like kings standing on the pinnacle of the world. Every modern female lead I've read about, no matter how strong they are written to be, are looked down upon just because of their gender. They are always put up against other women written to be... more>> brainless and envious of the female lead. It was almost as if women shouldn't even dream of being an arrogant CEO themselves. At most they can only be the wife of one. It had honestly gotten on my nerves for years. Thus this novel was like a fresh breath of air. A FL showing off her wealth and status so much so that no one dares fight against her? Yes please.

I also loved that there was little to no romance in the novel. While the author indicated that there were many with one-sided crushes on MC, MC herself is just there to enjoy life. It was just so refreshing to read.

I really loved the pacing of the novel and the well-written plot but I do wish they didn't rush the ending.

Anyway 10/10, loved it. This novel gave me strength. <<less

This was really good! The translation was a little questionable, though. Names and genders changed sometimes, and after the halfway point the chapters were occasionally shuffled around a bit. I would be reading and get confused. I read the extras through mtl, and it was definitely worth it!

Overall, it is a fun read!

Giving 5 stars for the MC doing what any fan has longed wanted to do (Chapter 6), and I am a sucker for stories that make me cry (Chapter 25-1.) And Chapters 26-2 opened my eyes to the variety of ways in which a person can celebrate good news 🫡

Rating: 4/5, nothing groundbreaking but very readable

Summary: Sheng Quan read a novel about the entertainment industry where countless bright stars were strangled and dimmed. Enraged and sleep-deprived, she got into a car accident and died. Then she woke up again as a younger version of herself in the world of the novel with a system that gives her money specifically to invest in good people who need help. With her knowledge of the novel, background in marketing, and copious funds provided by the system, she decides to protect all the... more>> stars from the novel and create the biggest company in the world.

Drawbacks: Nationalism overdose. Condescending about other countries. Huge cast that becomes forgettable as time goes on. Focuses on MC's actions so there's not much going on in the actual entertainment industry. For example, the MC produces three movies, but I really couldn't tell you what those were about. I can tell you how many bodyguards she has, the number of times she does yoga, and what technology she invests in but not any endorsements, movies, or songs by her artists. Also, somehow her being a fairly pretty and rich "Midas Touch" in the industry makes it so that it's funny/cute/acceptable for her to be leering at handsome men and beautiful women, especially while they're working out.

Romance: There's flirtation throughout the novel but it's more like people falling for MC's charisma and offering themselves up to her or slight indications of yandere-ness or jealousy. Someone said there was no foreshadowing the official pairing but I'd disagree because there are numerous times that the narrative touches on emotional upheavals for the three characters most obsessed with MC.

The official pairing is one that was expected, in my opinion. It's not particularly exciting, especially because she acts like a s*umbag when receiving the confession, but it's there. She does have a harem, really, but it's not explicitly stated. It might have made more sense if they just came out with it and made it a reverse harem, officially. <<less

Read it on translator's website which did not have the extras so I felt the ending was lacking somewhat, but now having read the extras, especially the 3rd one about the system, it gives more closure although still seems to be missing something.

Overall a 8/10. I enjoyed it although it lost some feeling the longer it went on. Still good though.

Oh yeah there is zero romance until the 1st extra.

Pretty boring with nothing really going on, I like the theme which is wish fulfillment but the format is too repetitive, the MC saved someone and they are immediately loyal to her. It’s like they don’t have any other personality. Tbh it would be more interesting is those character she helped get explore more, but it’s just there and there. I think this author is better at making qt stories

The moral of this story truly is money will solve all your problems and if it doesn’t, hire more ppl to help you solve those problems. That and you need money to make money.

Fun uplifting story with an endearing MC who thinks ahead and has loyal ppl around her. And when I say loyal, I mean some of them are worryingly loyal. They would pbbly have worked themselves into the ground if MC didn’t prioritize their health.

Abrupt end though, even though the extras softened it a little

MTL'ed to completion. Pretty readable.

Summary: A girl who's a fan of novels dies in a car accident and gets transmigrated into the last book she blasted online. The OG story is basically a slice of life, where everyone who has talent and drive and potential basically never fulfills their dream and dies along the way. Now with this wealth system, Sheng Quan will dominate any industry and save the lives of these people.

Review: I loved it. It's a good take on a genre that's usually male protagonists getting to the... more>> peak super quickly and being surrounded by a harem of beautiful women. SQ also has a "harem", but she's a facecon and beautycon and doesn't ever do anything inappropriate to anyone in the whole story. The protagonist is quite a genuine, good person and you can see that in the way she strives to be the best in the most ethical way. The system has her reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, but she did not have to do all that she set out to do. I liked the plot, I liked the side characters, I liked the passersby, I liked the silly netizen comments.

The only thing I DON'T like was the official CP. I swear to you I thought this was romance free. You're telling me she gets a bf in the extras....... The official CP is fine, I just don't think the author knows what foreshadowing a romance is. <<less
