Could you correct my English?:

-He is very perceptive in making this remark. In daily life, very often those who pay the greatest effort are neglected; writers become famous by studying, which process involves (the) frequent use of dictionaries, but dictionary writers are never celebrated; a singer shoots to fame by a euphonious song, but the composer's name is almost never mentioned; an actor receives the highest reward of his profession probably for several lines he uttered, but the script writer is still living/still lives in the dark. These are interesting phenomena.(I know the editing system here doesn't lend itself to efficient correction; so you could just copy and delete a few words as the best version you think it should be)

Thank you.

Writers become famous by studying; that involves the frequent use of dictionaries,
but lexicographers are never celebrated. A singer shoots to fame by a euphonious song,
but the composer's name is almost never mentioned. An actor receives the highest reward
of his profession probably for several lines that he uttered,
but the script writer still lives in the dark. These are interesting phenomena.

Thank you.
