Chapter 1417: From Actors To Movie Kings And Then to Actors

At first, Lu Zhiyao was confused about what was going on.

He was obviously a supporting actor. Why was he receiving so much attention?

However, after reading these reviews, he finally understood Boss Pei’s good intentions.

Cui Geng was very curious. “The benefits of being a calefares are huge? More than the two movies you starred in previously? That doesn’t make sense, right?”

He could not understand.

Lu Zhiyao took out his cell phone, found a film review on it, and handed it to Cui Geng.

“Look at this review and you’ll understand.”

Cui Geng reached out to accept the cell phone.

This film review was extremely popular. The title was: The current Lu Zhiyao was not only a real Best Actor, but also a real actor!

“Even though Lu Zhiyao doesn’t have many scenes in ‘Successor’ and is far inferior to Tomorrow is Beautiful and Mission and Choice, I think that this movie is much more meaningful than the previous two movies.”

“That’s because it means that Lu Zhiyao has completed his transformation from an actor to a movie king, and then from a movie king to an actor.”

“Once a person becomes famous, they can easily float and lose themselves. It’s especially so for actors.”

“Let’s not talk about famous movie kings and queens. Even those young celebrities who had just debuted but had a lot of resources would be very picky about the script.”

“Of course, as a good actor, you should choose scripts. It’s normal to reject lousy scripts and act in better scripts. It’s also a very right choice.”

“However, many fresh meat actors don’t pick scripts like that. They pick scripts based on remuneration and positioning. If they don’t have enough money, they don’t film it. It’s not like they don’t want to be the main actors. In fact, the production team can’t revolve around them completely. They don’t even film it!”

“They don’t care and can’t tell if the script is good or bad. That’s why fresh meat celebrities often hit off with some lousy film directors. In any case, fresh meat celebrities want positions and are big shots in the production team. Rubbish film directors have to rely on fresh meat to earn money. The two hit off immediately. Can the movies they produce still be watched?”

“In fact, when the movie premiered, the fans would fight for a spot. They would also slander and attack other actors who did not know how to act. They would also praise the actors’ non-existent acting skills.”

“There are even actors who complain publicly that there are too few good scripts now. They cannot get good scripts at all.”

“Why don’t you think about it? Is it because there are too few good scripts or because there are too few ‘good scripts’ in your eyes?”

“Why don’t you reflect on it? You took away most of the funding for the entire show, leaving only a little leftovers for the script writers. They could not even be muddled, and the scripts that they wrote had to be criticized and criticized by you. You changed it over and over again. How can there be a good script?”

“The good script that you call ‘good script’ is not really a ‘good script’ in the true sense of the word. It is just a good script in your hearts. What you want is to be the main actor in the drama. Your scenes will be maxed out. All the supporting actors and casts will revolve around you. You have to show your role fully. On this basis, you also hope that the audience will like to watch it. It will sell out in the box office.”

“Don’t you know why you can’t get a script like that?”

“Don’t you know why some so-called Best Actor and Best Actress spent so long choosing scripts to shoot lousy movies?”

“That’s because you’re too selfish. You only think about yourselves. You don’t think about the script at all, you don’t think about the production team, you don’t think about what the audience wants to see or what they want to see. It would be strange if you can use this mentality to get a good script!”

“On the other hand, Lu Zhiyao undoubtedly showed us the professionalism of an actor.”

“He’s also a movie king. What’s more, he’s the most popular movie king in the country at the moment. Not only does he have good looks and looks, but his acting skills are also better than those of fresh meat celebrities. Lu Zhiyao has been challenging more acting paths from Tomorrow is Beautiful to Mission and Choice.”

“From the toxicity of the box office at the beginning to being able to familiarize himself with all the difficult characters, Lu Zhiyao has obviously put in much more effort than ordinary people in secret.”

“Many people admire Lu Zhiyao because he has scripts like Tomorrow is Beautiful and Mission and Choice, giving him a perfect stage. If not for these two good scripts, Lu Zhiyao’s acting skills would not have such a huge breakthrough.”

“That’s why many actors might feel jealous and indignant in private. They might think that they would be popular by these two movies even if they acted themselves.”

“I want to say that I know what to say! Lu Zhiyao and these two movies achieve each other. Take ‘Mission and Choice’ for example. A movie is all one-man show. You’ll do it? You really can’t do it!”

“What’s more, Lu Zhiyao only succeeded because he abandoned this mentality!”

“When it comes to choosing scripts, no one is more qualified than Lu Zhiyao. He is no longer a toxicity in the box office, but a true Best Actor. He is the most popular male actor in the country who alone can carry a box office of more than a billion yuan.”

“Some fresh meat celebrities would definitely request to act as Phil after seeing the script of ‘Successor’. Why? That’s because Phil has the most scenes. He’s the main actor! However, Phil is a foreigner. What should we do? Change the script to Chinese?”

“Everyone, think about it carefully. If that really happens, wouldn’t the episode change? Would it still be as successful as it is now?”

“But what did Lu Zhiyao do? Does he care if he’s the main actor? He doesn’t care.”

“He just played a calefares honestly and honestly. He acted as an ordinary Chinese superhero in it. His scenes were completely within the reasonable range of the entire series. His acting skills were solid, and his performance was appropriate. He did not act like he was stealing the limelight or stealing the show.”

“That includes Zhang Zuting and the others. It was precisely because they had lowered themselves and played their roles well that the entire ‘Successor’ series was harmonious and perfect.”

“That’s why I said that Lu Zhiyao has completed his transformation from an actor to a movie king, and then from a movie king to an actor.”

“At first, Lu Zhiyao was just an ordinary actor. He became a Best Actor through constant training. After becoming a Best Actor, he was not proud or complacent. He did not keep to himself. Instead, he continued to be down-to-earth. He did not forget that the Best Actor was just an empty title. He was still an actor in essence.”

“A real actor should act like whatever he plays, not like himself.”

“Therefore, we should pay respect to Fei Huang Workspace and Lu Zhiyao! That’s because they always put artistry first, put the audience’s feelings first, and put money, position, and reputation behind.”

“And the facts have proven that the more artistic and audiences feel first, the more money and reputation you can obtain. The selfish and always putting yourself first will definitely lose both wealth and fame in the end!”

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 remuneration!

Reputation might be superficial but it would affect the box office appeal of an actor.

Many actors overdid their reputation and filmed movies to earn money. They might be able to earn money in the short term, but they would quickly lose the trust of the audience. It was a complete mess.

On the other hand, if they continued to accumulate reputation and used premium works to move the audience, they would definitely rise steadily, with a good reputation and a good box office.

Lu Zhiyao did not make much money from filming ‘Successor’. Boss Pei might have been generous but his part was only a calefares after all. A calefares remuneration was basically dispensable to Lu Zhiyao’s current net worth.

However, the key was that as a movie king, he was willing to be a calefare, a supporting actor for others, only to show the audience a better performance. He had attracted countless fans!

This was a stark contrast to those impetuous actors who only wanted to be the main actors.

With the halo, Lu Zhiyao’s popularity and box office would definitely increase.

Everyone would think that if Lu Zhiyao’s calefares were so good, wouldn’t the films that he starred in be amazing?

In the future, as long as Lu Zhiyao participated in it, he could consider it no matter how long it took or how many scenes there were.

What could be more praising 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 obtain more attention.”

“From this point of view, I have benefited greatly from ‘Successor’!”

Cui Geng suddenly understood. Indeed, that was a very important reason.

The actor who played Phil had many scenes and good acting skills, but he was ultimately a foreign actor. He had to develop in the international entertainment circle.

For domestic audiences, he had many scenes but he was still an “outsider”.

Lu Zhiyao and the rest were his own people.

It was impossible for the domestic popularity to cross the ocean to be reflected on foreign actors. Then, it would naturally be eaten up by domestic actors like Lu Zhiyao.

That was why Lu Zhiyao felt that he had earned a lot from acting as a calefares.

He had thought that it was a duty to help Boss Pei. He had not expected to be brought away by Boss Pei in the end.

Cui Geng could not help but feel emotional. “Boss Pei is so awesome! He can even predict this!”

Huang Sibo shook his head slightly. “You can’t say that.”

“It would be too deliberate if you were to say that Boss Pei had arranged this matter meticulously. It’s not that Boss Pei does not have the ability, but it is not necessary.”

“These minor details are all within the scope of skill. Boss Pei has long reached the stage where he can win without using any skills. He can just rely on his internal energy alone.”

“As for Fei Huang Workspace, filming very different good films is of paramount importance. However, if we can achieve this, all other benefits, be it money or reputation woudl be waiting for us.”

“Therefore, as long as everyone works hard to film the film, everything will naturally be there!”
