The ending is too far from the reward, too close to the intense

1. In my impression, the proportion of screenwriters who appear in movies must be much larger than their actual proportion in society, and most of the screenwriters who appear in movies are those who encounter bottlenecks in their creation but can get inspiration and successfully complete the script. A lot of realistic screenwriting dreams are pinned. I don't know how to classify such a film. If Beckham is invited to appear in a football movie, it can be called a true character. Can this kind of film be called "true character substitution"?
2. In the movie, Robert McKee, who taught people to write scripts, told Charlie that a good script "can have flaws in the middle, but the ending must be rewarding, so that it can be a big hit." However, the ending of this film is too far from intense and too close to the reward. Although the whole process is bland, it seems to be a good screenwriting tutorial, with aftertaste and inspiration.

    Cage, the king of bad movies, also has NB movies. The script is great, Kaufman, how much do you hate McGee to complain like this. Mei Gu sacrificed Hue for a female nomination. The three-layer narrative is easy to shuttle, and at the same time it has self-referentiality to the next level. Tucao on McGee is also manifested in the thrillerization of the big narrative at the end of the film. What is a divine drama, this is a divine drama. Someday I'm free to make up a column of beans.

    It's a pity that this film is too smug
