The hit of "Hidden Corner" made Qin Hao, a 42-year-old actor, quickly emerge and finally stand on the "traffic" of the entertainment industry. At this moment, he was excited and said to everyone: "Finally, let netizens remember my name!" ”
But perhaps many people don't know that Qin Hao was once a bright star in the Chinese film industry, and has cooperated with Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, Zhang Yimou and other big directors many times. From "Spring Red", "Rizhao Chongqing", "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" to "Tuina", Qin Hao walked all the way from the Berlin Film Festival to the Cannes Film Festival.
Ironically, however, despite his popularity overseas, his popularity on the mainland is staggeringly low. When he was young, Qin Hao did not pay much attention to the so-called popularity. He has always followed the advice of his university teachers when he graduated: don't take on plays casually, protect your acting career, and be sure to cooperate with big directors.
However, after graduation, Qin Hao fell into an embarrassing situation. Not only is he not favored by big directors, but even the scripts of small directors are rare, and the quality of these scripts is generally mediocre. At that time, Qin Hao still adhered to the teacher's advice and rejected these mediocre scripts.
However, three or four years have passed, and Qin Hao still has not waited for the invitation of the big director. Compared with his classmates who graduated from Chinese opera, some have already achieved considerable achievements, such as Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Yuan Quan, Liu Ye, etc., and even some people such as Zhang Ziyi have already emerged on the international stage. Qin Hao began to feel a little flustered, and repeatedly thought about whether he was suitable for being an actor and whether he should consider changing careers.
In a long conversation late at night, Qin Hao's mother said to him: "Not everyone can be so lucky, and opportunity does not mean that giving you a male number one is a chance." It's not that big directors looking for you to act and winning awards is an opportunity. Most people's opportunities are in the process of accumulation, everyone is constantly working hard, maybe one day you will find that so-and-so is red again, will you be satisfied? These words made Qin Hao pause, regretting why he refused those opportunities to exercise his acting skills in the first place.
Qin Hao decided not to miss any more opportunities. Later, director Wang Xiaoshuai found him, and the hit of "Spring Red" made Qin Hao very popular among literary film directors. But Qin Hao still adhered to professional ethics, resolutely did not accept low-quality scripts, and even refused invitations to TV series. He made it a rule to act in only one play a year to make sure he had enough to shape each character.
Over the years, Qin Hao has become the focus of major film festivals, visiting three major international film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin and Venice. He thought his professional ethics would eventually open up a bright future. However, when he dreamed of the future, the great directors who had worked with him "disappeared" one after another, and there were fewer and fewer scripts on hand. Qin Hao gradually realized that directors had begun to favor "traffic".
In the past, the selection of roles paid more attention to the acting skills of the actors and whether they had won awards, but now they pay more attention to the popularity and traffic of the actors. Qin Hao suddenly understood that he had been misled, and his professional ethics became a joke. He was confused again and began to think about the choice between traffic and acting.
He has gone further and further on the road of pursuing a big director, but the audience knows very little about him. Qin Hao began to doubt whether his acting career was correct, and he repeatedly asked himself at night: "Is this all my life, and when will I be able to perform works recognized by the audience?" Just as he was hesitating, an online drama "Undocumented Crime" found him. At this time, Zhou Xun's words woke up Qin Hao and allowed him to rediscover the direction of his career.
Zhou Xun said: "The current movie scripts are all so stupid, how to act?" This sentence not only inspired Qin Hao, but also revealed a reality in today's film and television industry - traffic first, good dramas
Ben is getting scarcer. The reason why Zhou Xun chose to take over "Ruyi's Legend" is on the one hand because the script and characters are attractive, and on the other hand, he hopes to enhance his popularity through the popularity of this drama, so as to have more say in the selection of more scripts in the future.
However, many netizens may not understand that actresses-level actors like Zhou Xun will also face the problem of lack of scripts. Although Zhou Xun has a high status in the industry, there is still a gap in her traffic compared with the current hot stars. In addition, today's films are no longer as simple as before, subject to the intervention of various capitals, and even the original excellent films may be changed beyond recognition. For example, this spring's "Samurai Order" that encountered Waterloo is a typical example, although the special effects and plot are good, but due to the intervention of capital, the role allocation has caused problems.
All this reflects the dominance of traffic in today's entertainment industry, and acting is no longer a primary consideration. The importance of scripts has gradually been underestimated, and the industry tends to cater to the audience's tastes to make profits, resulting in a large number of actors having to compromise with traffic, forcing them to take on as many scripts as possible, and even actors who don't like variety shows have begun to appear on the screen frequently.
Compared with the past, today's entertainment industry does not have such a high threshold, artists in various fields, including singers, models, and even writers without professional training, as long as there is traffic, can get opportunities through the entertainment industry. As long as the audience likes it and can bring them profits, they no longer care about the evaluation of the outside world.
This phenomenon has led to a deformed situation, where younger actors gradually occupy the main roles of film and television dramas, traffic artists are everywhere, and the TV drama market is constantly eroded. However, we need to reflect on why the film and television industry has experienced a decline in quality in such a prosperous market. The reason is that all resources are monopolized by capital, and in order to cater to the audience's taste, capital forces industry practitioners to lower standards and pursue maximum profits, which eventually leads to the emergence of a large number of bad films.
The Chinese film industry still relies on the support of post-80s actors such as Zhang Ziyi, and among the new generation of post-90s actors, only a few such as Zhou Dongyu and Yang Zi can get their hands on it. However, with thousands of new blood pouring into film and television schools every year, why is there this lack of opportunity in the industry?
The reason is that many students are not after acting, but overnight success and widespread recognition. This impetuous mentality, coupled with the excessive praise of the brokerage company, led to the acting skills being pushed to the market for monetization before they were polished. Once the traffic is exhausted, they are re-screened, the artist becomes unpromising, and the audience becomes tired of the traffic.
But traffic alone is not the root cause of the problem. The problem lies in the capital, in order to obtain capital investment, the director must cater to the requirements of capital, and in order to monetize the traffic, the actor whose acting skills is not mature pushes to the director, these actors are not qualified for overly complex roles, and the director has to ask the screenwriter to reduce the role requirements, thus giving birth to a series of "bad films".
Fortunately, Qin Hao was promoted to traffic actor with "Hidden Corner" in his lifetime. However, behind him, there are still many excellent actors who have been snubbed by the crew due to lack of popularity and relationships. This includes actors like Pan Binlong, who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, but little known, until he participated in "I am an Actor" and began to emerge. There is also Myolie Wu, whose talent has not been recognized by the audience until recently, all because the camera focuses on these old artists to make the audience re-recognize them.
There is no shortage of actors in the Chinese film world, and powerful actors just lack opportunities. As long as they are given a chance, they will shine. "In the Name of the People" is a typical example, most of the actors in the film are old actors without popularity, and the salary is far less than one-tenth of that of young fresh meat, but they have made this drama popular all over the country with their excellent acting skills and outstanding performance, Hu Jing
