Zhou Yuhe said, "Are you saying that with my current situation, it's not suitable for me to take on an A-grade commercial film?"
Yang Yu looked at him with admiration and didn't answer directly. She just said calmly, "A big production worth hundreds of millions. They're not as enthusiastic as other producers, but they still have the intention to pass on the message to I.S. If you want to act, I'm confident that I can help you negotiate a suitable salary. Now it's up to you."
Zhou Yuhe was confused. "My choice?"
Yang Yu nodded. "If you want to increase your popularity, we can choose the best commercial script we've come into contact with. This will be a good thing for you and the work. It'll be a good thing for both you and the work."
Yang Yu paused for a moment and continued, "But it's not the same for your personal reputation. Since your debut, you've acted in almost all commercial works, such as idol dramas and IP dramas. Only 'Rejuvenation' is a youth film. However, 'Rejuvenation' is too popular. You know, when a work is too widespread and everyone knows about it, it doesn't have much of a 'pretentious' quality, especially when it can't be recognized by the professional media and film critics who favor niche works. Besides, 'Rejuvenation' is more popular because of the plot itself. Xie Yifeng is also in the cast.
"He's taken on most of the 'acting praises'. Although your acting skills aren't inferior, 'seven Best Actor trophies' are too misleading. Speaking of acting skills, I believe almost everyone will think that Xie Yifeng is better than you, right?"
To be honest, Zhou Yuhe had never analyzed these things in depth. Yang Yu's words did indeed show his shortcomings.
From his previous life until now, Zhou Yuhe's most outstanding acting skills should be his.
But now?
As long as Zhou Yuhe was mentioned on the Internet, words like "face," "luck," "King of Newcomers," and "first love" would come to mind. In comparison, his true acting skills were covered up by these superficial "praises."
Compared to actual skills, passersby were more willing to put him in the camp of a vase.
If this continued, he would gain popularity, but the burden of being an idol would also increase.
Once the fans were convinced that their idol was the most handsome and charming on the screen, they would always think that he was the most handsome and charming on the screen. Therefore, when he wanted to try out some characters with a bad image, the backlash he would receive would be greater.
In other words, it would become more and more difficult to change the impression of a popular young man.
Zhou Yuhe let out a heavy sigh. "I understand what you mean. You want to say that if I continue to take on commercial films and take the route of popularity, my popularity will continue to increase. However, an actor who truly wants to showcase his acting skills should not be labeled as a 'popularity' or a 'vase'."
Yang Yu nodded. "For a truly good actor, popularity is just a tool for him to get the role and the script. It's not everything he pursues. This was because when an actor's popularity reached a certain level, the number of roles an actor could receive would decrease. There are many examples of this in the entertainment industry. Just think about it and you'll understand. Look, even Xie Yifeng, after winning seven Best Actor awards, is much more cautious than before. He can't casually take on supporting roles like before. "
Zhou Yuhe understood immediately. He smiled bitterly and said, "So when you said 'it depends on my choice', you're asking me if I want to be a celebrity or an actor? We've been together for so long. Don't you know this? "
Yang Yu raised her eyebrows in a relaxed and happy manner. She picked up the knife and fork again and cut the steak on the plate. "Well, I'm just confirming your determination."
After all, this was the entertainment industry. People could change at any time.
Yang Yu had seen so many young actors who had originally had good acting skills. After becoming famous, their acting skills had deteriorated, but their popularity had continued to rise. They had countless fans and their influence had increased. Did they not have an original intention? Didn't they want to be a good actor from the beginning?
However, reality was always crueler than ideals. If you wanted to be a good actor and have the popularity you had now, you would have to work harder than you did now.
Very few people would be willing to do this.
I'm already famous.
I already have an endless amount of money to spend and an endless amount of work to do. Wherever I go, people will ask me for my autograph.
Why should I work hard to improve my acting skills?
While I spend a lot of time improving my acting skills, will my opponents take away the resources and endorsements that originally belonged to me? Will the fans accept the role that I created with my heart and soul?
There were too many concerns.
This was why they were unwilling to do things that were risky and laborious.
In contrast, posting on Weibo, participating in one or two variety shows to maintain exposure, and not spending too much effort to finish filming a show and then immediately film the next one — this kind of life was much more comfortable.
How could Zhou Yuhe not know about this kind of thing?
How could anyone know it better than him?
In his previous life, he was so popular that he could choose from any good script in the industry. He was so popular that every year on his birthday, he would occupy the headlines for three days.
How could anyone know it better than him —
There were hidden traps in this kind of life.
Now it seemed that he was in the limelight.
