At first, Lu Zhiyao was a little puzzled.
He was clearly a supporting role. Why did he receive so much attention?
However, after reading these reviews carefully, he understood Boss Pei's good intentions.
Cui Geng was very curious. "Playing a small role is very profitable? More profitable than being the lead actor in your previous two movies? That doesn't make sense, right? "
He found it difficult to understand as well.
Lu Zhiyao took out his cell phone, found a film review on it, and handed it to Cui Geng.
"You'll understand when you read this film review."
Cui Geng reached out to accept the cell phone.
…
This film review was extremely popular. The title was: The current Lu Zhiyao is not only a well-deserved Best Actor, but also a real actor!
"Lu Zhiyao might not have many scenes in 'Successor' and is far inferior to 'Tomorrow is Beautiful' and 'Mission and Choice', but I think that the significance of this show is far greater than the previous two movies."
"That's because this means that Lu Zhiyao has completed the transformation from an actor to a Best Actor, and then from a Best Actor to an actor."
"Once a person becomes famous, it's easy for them to get carried away and lose themselves. It's especially so for actors."
"Not to mention the famous Best Actor and Best Actress, even those fresh meats who have just debuted but have a lot of resources, which one of them isn't good at picking scripts?"
"Of course, as a good actor, you should pick scripts. It's normal and right to reject those bad scripts and act in more good ones. "
"However, many young actors don't pick scripts like this at all. They pick scripts based on the pay and position. They won't shoot if they don't have enough money. It's not that the lead actor doesn't want to shoot, and the production team can't even revolve around him!"
"They don't care, and they can't tell whether the script is good or not. Therefore, young actors often hit it off with directors of bad movies. In any case, young actors want to be the boss in the production team, and directors of bad movies need to rely on young actors to make money. If the two hit it off, would the movies still be watchable?"
"Even when the movie is released, fans would still fight over the position, slander and attack the other actors for not being able to act with them, and praise the non-existent acting skills of the young actors."
"There are even actors who openly complain that there are too few good scripts now. They can't get good scripts at all."
"Why don't you reflect on whether there are too few good scripts, or the so-called 'good scripts' in your eyes are too few?"
"Why don't you reflect on yourselves? You have taken away the majority of the budget of the entire show and only left the leftovers for the scriptwriters. The scriptwriters can't even make ends meet, and the scripts they write have to be criticized and revised again and again by you. How can there be a good script?"
"Your so-called good script isn't a 'good script' in the true sense of the word. It's just a good script in your heart. What you want is for you to be the main character in the movie, to have all the scenes, and all the supporting actors and actresses revolve around you, to fully display your role. On this basis, you also hope that the audience will like it and the box office will be a hit. "
"Don't you know why you can't get this kind of script?"
"Don't you know why some of the so-called Best Actors and Best Actresses spend so much time picking out scripts, only to end up with bad movies?"
"That's because you're too selfish. You only think about yourself and not about the scriptwriters, the crew, or what the audience wants to see and what they like to see. It would be strange if you could really get a good script with such a mentality!"
"On the other hand, Lu Zhiyao has undoubtedly shown us the professionalism of an actor."
"He's also a Best Actor, and he's the most popular one in the country. Not only is his looks and appearance better than the little fresh meats, but his acting skills are also better than the little fresh meats. From 'Tomorrow is Beautiful' to 'Mission and Choice', Lu Zhiyao has been challenging more genres. "
"From being a box office poison at the beginning to being able to familiarize himself with all the difficult roles later on, Lu Zhiyao has obviously put in far more effort than ordinary people in the dark."
"Many people are envious of Lu Zhiyao because he has scripts like Tomorrow is Beautiful and Mission and Choice, giving him a perfect stage. Without these two good scripts, Lu Zhiyao's acting skills would probably not have such a huge breakthrough. "
"Therefore, many actors might feel envious and indignant in private. They might think that they can be made famous by these two dramas if they were to act."
"I want to say that you should know what's going on! Lu Zhiyao and these two movies are mutually beneficial. Take Mission and Choice for example. A movie is a one-man show. You're up? You really can't do it! "
"What's more, Lu Zhiyao succeeded precisely because he abandoned this mentality!"
"When it comes to picking a script, no one is more qualified than Lu Zhiyao. He is no longer a box office poison. He is a real Best Actor. He is the hottest male actor of the new generation in the country who can single-handedly carry the box office of more than a billion yuan."
"If it's like some little fresh meats, they would definitely ask to play Phil after seeing the script for 'Successor'. Why? That's because Phil has the most scenes. He's the main lead! However, Phil is a foreigner. What should we do? Change the script to a Chinese? "
"Everyone, think about it carefully. If that really happens, will the show change? Will it be as successful as it is now? "
"But what did Lu Zhiyao do? Does he care if he's the main lead? He doesn't care. "
"He was just an honest and dutiful walk-on. He played an ordinary Chinese superhero in there. His scenes were completely within the reasonable range of the entire series. His acting skills were solid and appropriate. He did not steal the show or steal the show at all."
"Including Zhang Zuting and the others. It was precisely because they put down their statuses and played their roles well that the entire series of 'Successor' was harmonious and perfect."
"That's why I said that Lu Zhiyao had completed the transformation from an actor to a Best Actor, and then from a Best Actor to an actor."
"In the beginning, Lu Zhiyao was just an ordinary actor. He became a Best Actor by constantly tempering his acting skills. After becoming a Best Actor, he was not arrogant and complacent. He did not stop progressing. Instead, he continued to be down-to-earth. He never forgot that Best Actor was just a title. He was still an actor. "
"A real actor should be able to act like what he acts, not just act like himself."
"Therefore, we should pay tribute to Fei Huang Workspace and Lu Zhiyao! That's because they always put artistry and the audience's feelings first. They put making money, ranking, and reputation behind them. "
"The facts have proven that the more artistry and the audience's feelings are placed first, the more money and reputation they can reap. On the other hand, selfish people who always put themselves first will eventually lose both money and reputation!"
…
Cui Geng nodded in realization after reading this review. "I see!"
No wonder Lu Zhiyao was so grateful.
For an actor, this kind of reputation and evaluation was much more precious than the salary!
Reputation might be superficial, but it would really affect an actor's box office appeal.
Many actors overdrew their reputation to make money by filming lousy movies. They might be able to make money in a short period of time, but they would soon lose the trust of the audience and become a mess.
On the other hand, they would continue to accumulate reputation and use excellent works to impress the audience. They would definitely rise steadily, and their reputation and box office would double.
Lu Zhiyao did not earn much money from filming 'Successor'. Boss Pei had always been generous, but he was only a minor character after all. To Lu Zhiyao's current value, a minor character's salary was basically dispensable.
However, the key was that he was willing to be a minor character and a supporting role just to present a better performance to the audience as a movie king!
This was in stark contrast to those impatient actors who only wanted to be the main lead and make a name for themselves.
With this halo, Lu Zhiyao's popularity and box office appeal would definitely rise to another level in the future.
Everyone would think that if Lu Zhiyao's movies were so good, wouldn't Lu Zhiyao's movies be so good?
In the future, as long as Lu Zhiyao acted in it, they would consider watching it no matter how long or how many scenes he had.
Was there any higher praise than this for an actor?
Lu Zhiyao explained, "Actually, I thought about it. There's another reason."
"Most of the faces in 'Successor' are foreigners, so domestic audiences and film critics do not have a deep impression of them."
"As old acquaintances of the audience, we will naturally receive more attention."
"From this point of view, I've benefited a lot from 'Successor'!"
Cui Geng suddenly understood. Indeed, that was a very important reason.
The actor who played Phil might have many scenes and his acting skills were not bad, but he was ultimately a foreign actor. He wanted to develop in the foreign entertainment industry.
To domestic audiences, he had many scenes, but he was still an 'outsider'.
Lu Zhiyao and the others were their own people.
The popularity in the country could not cross the ocean and feed back to those foreign actors. Naturally, it was eaten up by domestic actors like Lu Zhiyao.
That was why Lu Zhiyao felt that he had earned a lot from acting as a minor character.
He had thought that he was helping Boss Pei out of obligation, but he did not expect to be led by Boss Pei in the end.
Cui Geng could not help but feel emotional. "Boss Pei is really amazing! He even calculated this! "
Huang Sibo shook his head slightly. "You can't say that."
"It would be too deliberate if Boss Pei was the one who meticulously arranged this. It's not that Boss Pei doesn't have the ability, but there's no need for it. "
"Such minor details are all within the scope of techniques. Boss Pei has already reached the realm where he can win with no moves. His internal energy alone is enough."
"To Fei Huang Workspace, it's to make a different and good film. Everything has to give in to this requirement. However, if we can do this, we will have all the other benefits, be it money or reputation. "
"Therefore, as long as everyone works hard to make the film, all these will naturally be there!"
