The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 86 The last time someone was so arrogant

In early August, "Genius Gunslinger" steadily exceeded the 500 million threshold as everyone expected.

At this time, the topic of praising this film or Wang Wei is nothing new at all.

I don’t know when the media started to turn their attention to the heroine Shen Zhenyi.

It’s not unusual for an actress to be able to bring in a box office of 400 to 500 million yuan in a single movie, but if the actress is under 20 years old, not counting inflation, this is unprecedented in the history of China Entertainment.

The media's enthusiasm for praising Shen Zhenyi seemed to burst out all of a sudden.

"...the successful portrayal of two completely different characters by Shen Zhenyi proves that she is one of the most outstanding young actresses of this era.

Of course, there are many talented actresses in the industry, but if they are allowed to perform different types of roles continuously in a short period of time, homogeneity will definitely not be avoided.

If you are not convinced, you can take a look at Shen Zhenyi's performances in the two movies "Peking Holiday" and "The Genius Gunman". They used completely different acting techniques. To exaggerate, even the facial muscles move according to the character. The temperament has completely changed.

In this era, there is no other actress who can change her acting state so completely!

But now, this rare resource has been occupied by Shen Zhenyi alone for two consecutive years, and based on their relationship as a couple, it seems that it will be occupied for even longer, naturally leaving those colleagues who are naturally competitive They are not angry anymore.

Their goals are simple: the plot has a certain depth, the age of the heroine is suitable for Shen Zhenyi to play, the plot is centered on the heroine, and the director is reliable.

The agent thinks about it too.

Worrying not about scarcity but about inequality exists everywhere.

Similarly, fans of Liu Shuyi will not agree with this kind of "the wave behind the wave beats the wave before the wave".

"Many media want to interview you about this momentum. Do you want to fight back?" the agent reminded.

"...She is definitely a talented actor with the potential to be a movie queen. The author even believes that as long as she has a good eye for film selection, she will surely win the Tianma Award in the next few years.

Shen Zhenyi has already shown good box office appeal and is just short of winning awards. At first glance, the media's suggestions seem to be for her own good.

Therefore, in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, no peer will watch you climb up the ladder smoothly.

"It's strange that I would be fooled by them!" Shen Zhenyi said unceremoniously.

She needs to be exposed to more pure art films and improve her acting skills to the point where she can win awards..."

Especially for peers with similar positioning.

And these four requirements have eliminated almost all candidate scripts!

There are many in-depth scripts, with famous directors, famous actors, and more big-name productions, but it is obvious that all of them are centered around men.

Objectively speaking, the entertainment industry provides far fewer good roles to actresses than to actors.

The manager also shook his head and said directly: "Even if you don't fight back, they will still have the back-up to continue to provoke. Do you want to communicate with Wang Wei first?"

"And if you regard awards as your first goal now, as we all know, art films suitable for awards will not perform very well at the box office, then your commercial appeal will be greatly reduced."

——It is not necessary to cooperate with Shen Zhenyi in every movie, but as long as there are "good cards" suitable for her, Wang Wei leaves her alone, which is enough to make the actresses hate Shen Zhenyi to death.

In the final analysis, as long as these two couples can maintain their own stability, any provocation will be in vain.

As long as she is not tied to the tree named Director Wang Wei.

This "good card" refers to projects that focus on female characters and can enhance the female star's ability to handle the box office alone.

In other words, no matter how well Shen Zhenyi performs in it, she is just acting as a foil or even draining her popularity.

Even if you can piece together and choose the cards in your hand in the big game of China Entertainment, there are not many good cards that the studio can provide.

If this is just an ordinary movie review, it's just a family opinion, so don't be surprised.

Currently, he is the only director under the age of 30 in China.

Smart people all know how terrifying it is to "praise and kill".

This first candidate, any movie of the same type, only if she doesn't like it, will be chosen by peers at the next level. This is the hierarchical entertainment industry.

"The person who bought the manuscript behind the scenes really put a lot of thought into it!"

"So, at first, some people thought it was me buying the press release for you. It would be counterproductive to remind me. That's when I received the news that someone was trying to cause trouble."

Manager Yu Li raised her eyebrows, "The key point is to use Wang Wei as a raft later, to support you openly and to step on him secretly. Isn't this just a matter of provoking trouble!"

"It is best to have a work that can independently take charge of the box office and bring investors a beautiful financial report. Then there is no need to doubt your box office appeal."

The previous content was the first time that the media compared her with her idol Liu Shuyi, but it did not make her happy at all.

Shen Zhenyi does not feel that her current acting skills are at the same level as those of her idols.

As for why you want to sow discord with Wang Wei?

However, none of them expected that the overt support and covert support in the media would soon escalate into open "fire"——

He said: "Someone has wasted her excellent talent. As long as she partners with me and makes two movies at most, I can help her win the domestic Pegasus Award or the Best Actress crown at the three major international film festivals!"

Yes, this is also the most difficult problem for most A-list actresses.

In an interview with the media, when asked "Which domestic actor would you most like to work with in your next work?" Song Zhicheng named Shen Zhenyi without hesitation.

Throughout history, only the legendary actress Liu Shuyi can compare with her!

…”

——Frankly speaking, the films directed by Wang Wei have achieved very good commercial results; from the perspective of film style, his future path is to be a commercial director, but it is not of great significance to improve the acting skills of actors.

At the Venice International Film Festival in August, Song Zhicheng, a rising domestic director who specializes in literary films, won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film and the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the same time for his film "Downtown", which caused a lot of amazement!

This is the second time that he has won the grand prize at the three major European international film festivals.

This is undoubtedly a waste of Shen Zhenyi's potential.

Shen Zhenyi said calmly: "No need. That guy is more stable than anyone else. He doesn't even bother to take a look at the provocations from some media."

So, do you know why so many actresses, especially young actresses, are envious, jealous, and hateful of Shen Zhenyi?

——Directors like Wang Wei can provide actresses with "good cards" and greatly enhance an actress's commercial appeal. They are a rare resource that most young actresses dream of!

The agent sees this kind of trick very clearly.

However, a considerable number of media have made similar comments, and even formed a considerable momentum. Shen Zhenyi can only say -

Shen Zhenyi shook her head and said: "Reject it. There is no meaning in a quarrel of words, and once a quarrel breaks out, it will be the intention of the person behind it."

Although she is now being pursued by film producers, with a stack of scripts as tall as one person, is her commercial appeal really solid?

Even agents who have long made plans to cash in on their prizes don’t think now is a good time to cash in on their prizes.

You know, there are many actors in the industry, but in fact, there are only a few actors who can stand out in a genre, or even only one——

And those who can become the first candidate are the lucky ones who have strong box office appeal and have won heavyweight awards, thus gaining a longer career life.

From the time Shen Zhenyi finished filming "The Genius" to the movie becoming a big hit, she and her agent team did not focus solely on Wang Wei, but also selected her next project from the sea of ​​scripts.

It's very simple. It's clear just by looking at the scripts Shen Zhenyi received during this period.

The so-called "comparison" will only arouse the resentment of many old movie fans for Shen Zhenyi.

Seeing this, everyone seemed to be praising Shen Zhenyi’s high level, but then something unexpected happened——

As soon as these bold statements were made, the media was in an uproar.

When the news reached the ears of someone who was "wasting Shen Zhenyi's talent", he was shocked——

The last time someone was so arrogant was the last time.

What a mouthful!

…

I'm so busy, I owe you another update, so I'll write it down first~
