At first, Lu Zhiyao was a little confused as to what was going on.
You are obviously a supporting character, why do you get so much attention?
After reading these movie reviews carefully, I understood Mr. Pei’s good intentions.
Cui Geng was very curious: "The profit from playing a small role is huge? It is more than the profit from starring in your previous two movies? Doesn't it make sense?"
He's also a little hard to understand.
Lu Zhiyao took out his mobile phone, searched for a movie review on it, and handed it to Cui Geng.
"You will understand after reading this movie review."
Cui Geng reached out to accept the phone.
…
This film review is extremely popular. The title is: Now Lu Zhiyao is not only a well-deserved actor, but also a real actor!
"Although Lu Zhiyao's role in "Successor" is not many, far less than "Better Tomorrow" and "Mission and Choice", I think the significance of this drama is far greater than the previous two movies.
"
"Because this means that Lu Zhiyao has completed the transformation from actor to actor, and then from actor to actor."
"Once people become famous, it is easy to drift away and lose themselves. This is especially true for actors."
"Not to mention the famous movie kings and movie queens, even those young talents who have just debuted but have mastered many resources, who can't pick up the scripts very well?"
"Of course, as a good actor, you should choose scripts. Reject those bad scripts and act in more good scripts. This is a normal and very correct choice."
"But many fresh-faced actors don't choose scripts like this at all. They choose scripts based on salary and cast. If the money is low, they won't film. It's not just the lead actor who won't film. Even if the crew can't completely revolve around him, they won't film!
"
"They don't care, and they can't tell whether the script is good or bad at all, so they often hit it off with some directors of bad movies: after all, what they want is a role in the show, and what they want is to be the boss in the crew, while bad movies
The director wants to make money by relying on the little fresh meat, and the two hit it off, can the resulting movie still be watched?"
"Even after the movie is released, fans still want to criticize it, slander it, attack other actors for not being able to play together, and praise the non-existent acting skills of the young actors."
"Some actors have publicly complained that there are too few good scripts now and they can't get good scripts at all."
"Why don't you reflect on it, are there too few good scripts, or are there too few so-called 'good scripts' in your eyes?"
"Why don't you reflect on this? You took away most of the entire show's funding, leaving only a little bit of leftovers for the screenwriters. They can't even make ends meet, and you still have to criticize and pick and choose the scripts they write.
, I have revised it over and over again, how can I have a good script?"
"What you call a good script is not a 'good script' in the true sense, but just a good script in your own mind. What you want is to be the starring role in the play, with a full role, and all the supporting actors and cast and crew are around.
It’s up to you to show off your character in an all-round way. On top of that, you also hope that the audience will love watching it and it will be a box office hit.”
"Why can't you get this kind of script? Don't you have any idea?"
"Why do some so-called movie kings and movie queens spend a long time picking out the movies, but they are all bad movies, and they have no idea?"
"Because you are too selfish. You only think about yourself and don't consider the screenwriter, the crew, or what the audience wants to watch. It would be strange if you could really receive a good script with this kind of mentality.
Got it!"
"Looking at Lu Zhiyao, he undoubtedly showed us the professionalism of an actor."
"He is also an actor, and he is currently the most popular actor in China. Not only does his looks and appearance surpass him, but his acting skills are even more impressive. From "Better Tomorrow" to "Mission and Decision", Lu Zhi
Haruka has been challenging more dramas."
"From being a box-office poison at the beginning, to being able to master all difficult roles with ease, Lu Zhiyao has obviously put in far more effort than ordinary people in secret."
"Many people envy Lu Zhiyao because there are scripts such as "Better Tomorrow" and "Mission and Choice", which give him a perfect stage. Without these two good scripts, Lu Zhiyao's acting skills may not be what they are.
Huge breakthrough.”
"So many actors may feel jealous and resentful privately, thinking that if they act, they can be popular in these two dramas."
"I want to say that I have some idea in my mind! Lu Zhiyao and these two movies are mutually beneficial. Take "Mission and Choice" as an example. A movie is a one-man show. You are in it? You are really not good at it!
"
"What's more, Lu Zhiyao succeeded precisely because he abandoned this mentality!"
"When it comes to choosing scripts, no one is more qualified than Lu Zhiyao. He is no longer a box-office poison, but a genuine actor. He is a new domestic star who can single-handedly handle a guaranteed box office of more than 1 billion.
The most popular actor of our generation."
"If you are like some young actors, after seeing the script of "Succession", you will definitely ask yourself to play Phil. Why? Because Phil has the most roles and is the leading actor! But Phil is a foreigner, what should I do?
Then change the script and change it to Chinese?"
"Everyone, think about it carefully. If that happens, will this series change its flavor? Will it still be as successful as it is now?"
"But how did Lu Zhiyao do it? Does he care whether he is the leading actor? He doesn't care."
"He was just honest and did his job. He played a small role and played an ordinary Chinese superhero. His role was completely within the reasonable range of the entire series. His acting skills were solid and his performance was appropriate. There was no overestimation at all.
Or act to steal the spotlight.”
"Including Zhang Zuting and others, it is precisely because they put down their posture and played their roles down to earth that the harmony and perfection of the entire series of "Successor" can be achieved."
"So I said that Lu Zhiyao has completed the transformation from actor to actor, and then from actor to actor."
"In the beginning, Lu Zhiyao was just an ordinary actor. He became the Best Actor by constantly honing his acting skills. But after becoming the Best Actor, he did not become complacent or complacent, but continued to be down-to-earth, never forgetting that the Best Actor was just a false name.
I am still an actor at heart."
"A real actor should act like himself, not act like himself."
"So, we should pay tribute to Feihuang Studio, and we should also pay tribute to Lu Zhiyao! Because they always put artistry first and the audience's feelings first, and put money, title, and reputation first.
Put it in the back."
"Facts have proven that the more people who put artistry and audience experience first, the more money and fame they can gain, while those who are selfish and always put themselves first will inevitably end up with both money and fame.
null!"
…
After reading this film review, Cui Geng suddenly nodded: "That's it!"
No wonder Lu Zhiyao was so grateful.
For an actor, this kind of reputation and evaluation is much more precious than the salary!
Although word of mouth is a virtual thing, it can actually affect an actor's box office appeal.
Many actors use their reputation to earn money by making bad movies. They may indeed make money in a short period of time, but they will soon lose the trust of the audience and become a complete mess.
And if you continue to accumulate word-of-mouth and impress the audience with each high-quality work, your reputation will surely rise steadily, and your reputation and box office will be harvested.
Lu Zhiyao really didn't make much money from filming "Successor". Although Mr. Pei has always been generous, his role was just a bit player after all. For Lu Zhiyao's current net worth, the salary of a bit player is basically not worth it.
None.
But the key point is that as the actor, he is willing to play a minor role and play a supporting role for others, just to present a better performance to the audience. This behavior has attracted countless fans!
This is in sharp contrast to those actors who are impatient and just want to be the leading actor and do something.
With the blessing of this halo, Lu Zhiyao's popularity and box office appeal will surely reach a higher level in the future.
Everyone would think that if the movies in which Lu Zhiyao plays a small role are so good, then the movies starring Lu Zhiyao will not be popular?
From now on, as long as Lu Zhiyao is involved in the show, no matter how long it takes or how many roles he plays, you can consider going there.
For an actor, is there any higher praise than this?
Lu Zhiyao explained: "Actually, I thought about it and there are other reasons."
"Most of the faces in "Succession" are foreigners, so domestic audiences and film critics are not very impressed by them."
"As old acquaintances in the audience, we will naturally get more attention."
"From this point of view, I have benefited greatly from "Successor"!"
Cui Geng suddenly realized that indeed, this was also a very important reason.
Although the actor who plays Phil has many roles and good acting skills, he is a foreign actor after all, and he wants to develop in foreign entertainment circles.
To domestic audiences, he has many roles, but he is still an "outsider".
But Lu Zhiyao and the others are our own people.
It is simply impossible for the domestic popularity to cross the ocean and be fed back to those foreign actors, so naturally it will be absorbed by domestic actors like Lu Zhiyao and others.
That's why Lu Zhiyao felt that he had made a lot of money by playing a minor role.
I originally thought I was helping Mr. Pei voluntarily, but I didn't expect that I was taken away by Mr. Pei in the end.
Cui Geng couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Pei is so awesome! Even this is considered!"
Huang Sibo shook his head slightly: "You can't say that."
"It would be too deliberate to say that this matter was carefully arranged by Mr. Pei. It's not that Mr. Pei doesn't have the ability, but that there is no need."
"Such details are all in the category of skills, and Mr. Pei has already reached the stage where he can win without any tricks. Internal strength alone is enough."
"For Feihuang Studio, it is to make unique and good films, and everything must give in to this requirement. But if this is achieved, then all other benefits, whether it is money or fame, will be there
Already."
"So, as long as everyone works hard to make the film, everything will happen naturally!"
