Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Become a Glamorous Celebrity Fast

1. Follow The Quest Line

Once your character gets settled in the Big Apple, she quickly starts meeting new people and establishing connections. These interactions usually result in various quests, which you need to complete, so as to earn cash and XP points (represented by purple stars).

You need copious amounts of money in Hollywood Story, since spending this currency will provide you with ample opportunities to extend your wardrobe, upgrade your living arrangements, and pay for makeovers. These activities are usually part of quests, and fulfilling them will enable you to move the storyline ahead, while unlocking some prizes.

Now, regarding XP, you can get your hands on small amounts in exchange for performing basically any activity in Hollywood Story. Finalizing quests, however, is a lot more rewarding in terms of XP rewards. For example, helping your friend Amber retrieve a list of items is worth 250 cash and 30XP. In contrast, tapping on a bench in Harlem only yields a few XP points.

The reason why you need lots of XP is to level up and eventually be able to unlock a new star status. So make sure you’re always doing something in the game, whether it’s just walking around town and taping on things. Follow the quest line and do your best to complete as many as them.

Some will require you to spend resources (for example, Diamonds) and you might not be able to do so right away. When that happens, don’t worry! There’s no expiration date on these quests, so you can get to them when you can. The only risk here is that you might forget about them!

Following the quest line also ensures you can unlock new ones, so even if you get tempted to diverge and do something else instead, our advice is to control that urge. You need to accumulate resources fast, and focusing on quests seems the best way to do so.

2. Interact With The Environment Actively

Interacting with your environment is a big part of the gameplay in Hollywood Story. You start off in Harlem, but soon your character will unlock multiple locations across the map including Queens, Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and many more. Everywhere you go, you’ll notice that tapping on the elements in the environment such as mail boxes, trash cans, street lamps, decorative plants, and more will produce a few items.

Tapping on anything usually costs 2 Energy points (from the maximum of 35), so you won’t be able to keep at it forever without taking breaks in-between sessions. A tap usually generates some XP, but most importantly “junk” items. These range from anything like lipsticks or laptops to Rubik cubes and teddy bears.

You need these items, mainly to be able to get and pass auditions. These auditions are the key to increasing your fame. Once you’ve collected the necessary items, you can go straight to the set and start shooting the movie. More on how to use auditions to your advantage will be discussed in the next section.

In-between auditions, always make sure go on junk-collecting trips across town. Visit all the different locations available on the map and tap like you mean it, until you exhaust your Energy bar.

Junk also helps you complete quests. Some of the characters you’ll meet throughout Hollywood Story will ask you to do things for them. For example, at one point you’ll be required to collect a number of Champaign glasses for your friend Amber. If you’ve made a habit of heading out in town for quick junk-collecting expeditions, you might already be in possession of some of the items by the time someone asks for your assistance, so you’ll be able to finish off the mission a lot faster.

Remember that Hollywood Story is a bit heavy on the collectible side, so you’re meant to be spending an important amount of time hunting for items around town. Whenever you’re taking a break from filming or talking to an acquaintance, use that time to hit the streets again.

While most junk-producing objects are scattered outdoors, sometimes it does not hurt to try and tap on indoor items as well. Like for example, the pink couch in the back of the Karaoke Bar in Queens.

3. Alternate Between Filming / Improving Skills And Junk Hunting

Another avenue for spending Energy in Hollywood Story is improving your skills, so that you can get even more auditions and expand your movie portfolio. Honing a skill requires a variable Energy investment, and depending of the level of virtuosity you want to achieve, that contribution will steadily increase.

Shooting a movie is also Energy-dependent activity. Each movie you’ll work on is divided into several chapters and to complete each one, you’ll need to perform a series of actions on set that cost Energy.

Our advice when you’re in the process of working on set is to abstain from leaving the set and devoting yourself to other actions such as junk hunting. The reason for this is that you have a limited time frame for completing the production. Don’t waste Energy on other tasks, focus on wrapping up the project first, before you move on to something else.

The key is to alternate between these two types of activities. Once you’ve completed a movie, you won’t get another audition for a while, so you’ll be free to roam the streets and take care of your other quests. So don’t be impatient, you’ll get to the other stuff.

Another aspect about shooting movies that should be stressed here is this – if you run out of Energy while in the midst of filming, take a break and allow the Energy to regenerate. But not a long 2-hour break, or you risk of missing your chance to finalize your movie. Remember that once you start the process, you need to wrap up the project usually in a few hours.

If you take too long to come back to the game, the movie-making session will expire, and you don’t want that. Energy in Hollywood Story usually takes about 30 minutes to get fully restored, so if you’re in the process of shooting a new movie, make sure to come back every half an hour or so to complete your project. Once you’ve done so, you’ll be free to take longer breaks from the game, if that’s what you desire.

Alternatively, you could use your Diamond stash to purchase more Energy or spend some precious gems to complete chapters instantly, although we don’t recommend this course of action.

Shooting new movies is an extremely important aspect because it correlates directly with improving your overall celebrity status, as it attracts more fans. An expanding fan base will do wonders for your budding career. For instance, to improve you star status from level 3 to level 4 you’ll need to attract 100,000 fans, as well as have at least 10 movies in your portfolio and reach level 10. Being a rising star will open up novel avenues for you, while also bringing diversity to your gameplay.
