Chapter 732: Opening up a new track(2/2)
Although it is considered popular, its popularity has absolutely nothing to do with the front line. It can only be said that in the era when television stations still occupied a dominant position, they reaped the dividends of the times.
It gave him a wide public awareness.
But among the same group of young actors who started their career, Lao Chen definitely does not belong to the first echelon.
But look at it later!
Can you imagine? An actor who had no experience in directing movies before, and was not even a graduate of the directing department, turned out to be the director of the highest-grossing movie ten years later!
It's the director!
He’s not a random person, he’s a real director!
Take full control and enjoy absolute say.
The road that others have walked, Wu Di today is just walking ahead of schedule. Besides, Boss Wu is also a kind person.
As for him, he actually doesn’t want to take the box office route.
He already has a classmate named Zhang Feng to handle the box office. This arduous task should be left to Xiao Zhang. As for Wu Di, he has not made any big achievements yet.
At the same time, his external identity is still that of an actor, but this is not important. As long as he can establish a foothold in the industry, get a good script, and transform into a director, it is still very possible.
Many people would say that given the structure of the company Wu Di is about to open now, it would be more cost-effective to continue being an actor.
On the one hand, you can not only use your performing arts career to drive the development of your company and increase your personal commercial value, but you can also create cakes for your own artists because of your status as a well-known actor.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have proper two-way promotion?
Being a director is of course a good thing and cannot be bad, but being a director is undoubtedly a very energy-consuming thing.
What's more, with Zhang Feng and Lao Zhang in front, how could Wu Di, the son-in-law, possibly surpass them?
From an objective point of view, if someone does this, it is very likely to be thankless.
However, no one knows better than Wu Di, just like a physical education teacher who doesn't want to be a general is not a good cook.
Being a director is almost every actor who has some achievements in the industry. Their ultimate ideal is to be a director.
Especially actors who have achieved good results in the film industry, especially male actors, their final destination is probably to direct their own films.
After all, people all have to pursue something higher.
Even if actors have enough fame in front of people and enjoy the constant attention of countless spotlights, they still have expectations and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Can these movies starring me really be counted as my works?
In the future, decades or even hundreds of years later, will people remember the movie itself, the director who created the movie, or the starring actor?
Which one is it?
The truth is, the answer may vary from person to person.
If you can reach the top of your profession as an actor, then, in fact, your name will become more well-known.
For example, when people mention the movies of the Golden Age, the most cherished ones are the names of those shining stars.
They are Audrey, they are Vivien Leigh, and they are Marlon Brando. When they think of their classic masterpieces, they will think of these leading actors who bring people beautiful enjoyment.
Similarly, when people think of these big stars, their classic works will naturally come to mind.
This effect is mutually reinforcing.
If you can reach this point in your career as an actor, then congratulations, you don’t have to change your career.
Just concentrate on doing your job well, and you will definitely have a place in film history in the future.
However, there are more people and more big stars, and they are destined to shine brightly only for a short period of time.
Their careers are successful, and their acting skills can also be said to be very good. However, this was only seen at the time.
If the time period is extended, or even the corresponding standards are raised, their acting skills may still be far from the top.
Therefore, they know very well that their fame can only be maintained for a short period of time, even though they can be considered famous and make money.
I have lived a life of complete financial freedom. However, if I want to do better in this circle and most likely leave my name and traces in the history of movies in the more distant future, I may only rely on the so-called acting
A career is not enough.
Therefore, you can easily see that many actors who have turned into directors or producers, when they do their jobs, their acting skills can only be said to be good, but they cannot climb to the top.
As a result, they couldn't reach the top anyway. Those things required talent and couldn't be forced. So they began to expand their fields in other directions.
This is nothing.
You see, there are specialties in the art industry. Perhaps, compared to me, the directing industry is more suitable for me than being an actor?
Right!
Just give it a try, it's all an opportunity.
If you think about it, the logic here is this. It is actually a question of opening up new tracks.
As an actor turned director, for the audience, first of all, it looks very fresh to them, and it arouses their curiosity.
The audience will naturally lower their requirements for them. For one thing, everyone knows that they are not professional directors, so the standards required are naturally different.
Furthermore, even if they have not been able to hit the front line in the past, these actors who have turned into directors often have a lot of popularity.
