"The Beginning", which became popular a few years ago, is still hot to this day, but the "Gold Rush" that collided with it was quietly pounced.
The situation of the male protagonists of the two dramas is also the double heaven of ice and fire.
Encountering the divine work "Beginning", Bai Jingting's popularity soared.
Everyone's impression of him has also changed: it is no longer the face of the first love who can only act in idol dramas.
But Chen Feiyu on the other side was not so lucky.
Even in the new drama "Gold Rush", Chen Feiyu's face is darker than charcoal, and he is almost unrecognizable, but not many viewers buy it.
"Gold Rush" not only has little discussion, but also single-handedly lowered the level of the Mist Theater, and the Douban score has just passed the passing line. (The previous suspense theater's masterpieces "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" are all above 9 points)
Even if there is a famous father, Chen Feiyu's star fortune has not been very smooth.
At that time, "Hao Yi Xing" was extended, and Chen Feiyu posted emoji expressions on Weibo every three to five minutes, followed by numbers.
Many netizens questioned whether he was tearing up the calendar at home every day, breaking his fingers and counting when he could explode.
Although this meme has the meaning of a joke, Chen Feiyu in reality is indeed a breath away from the explosion of popularity.
Debut early enough, the appearance is not low, the resources are not lacking, why can't Chen Feiyu wait for the fire?
Chen Feiyu identified a principle: whatever fire, go shoot what.
When he first entered the circle, Chen Feiyu aimed at youth films and starred in the film "Secret Fruit" adapted from Rao Xueman's novel, but the popularity of the movie was completely different from the influence of the original work.
Liu Haoran played the drama version of "The Best of Us" fire, Chen Feiyu soon followed suit, in the movie version of "The Best of Us" also played "Yu Huai".
But he did not have the good fortune of being possessed by a koi like Liu Haoran. Although the film version broke through 400 million at the box office, Chen Feiyu was not remembered by many people.
In the past two years, when the popular students rushed to shoot and delayed, Chen Feiyu did not fall behind, and quickly filmed "Hao Yi Xing".
But luck is really not very good, delay dramas have become a backlog of dramas, "Hao Yi Xing" can be broadcast the hope is very slim.
Not long after, Chen Feiyu set his sights on iQiyi's Mist Theater again.
The Mist Theater is indeed quite capable of winning popular actors, Zhang Dongsheng, played by Qin Hao, is on fire, and Bai Yu's prosecutor Jiang Yang is out of the circle.
But when it came to Chen Feiyu, this law was broken, and even people with dramas pounced on the street...
Audience popularity is a metaphysics, not easily reversed by external boosting.
With that kind of family background, Chen Feiyu is indeed very good at identifying resources: which are more beneficial to himself and which can help him advance faster, he has a clear distinction.
It is indeed easier to succeed by taking shortcuts, but the entertainment industry is no better than other circles, and it is not possible to reach the top of the pyramid by speed alone.
"Little Red relies on praise, Big Red relies on fate, and strong praise is condemned by heaven", if the ability is not enough, the time has not arrived, it is not so pleasing, but it is accelerating forward vigorously, but it is counterproductive.
Opportunities and resources are indeed important, but at the heart of this circle, there are always two words: strength.
Chen Feiyu's strength is not worthy of his resources at present.
The second generation of his circle, from a young age, was shrouded in the aura of the previous generation, and when he was 10 years old, he participated in the "Orphan of Zhao" directed by his father.
Although the role is not heavy, it is not something that ordinary people can do to star in a blockbuster at such a small age.
In the "Arthur Literature" that was circulating before, everyone saw the unique communication method between Director Chen and his family.
Chen Kaige and Chen Hong chatted about the sky, called Chen Feiyu over to the side, and shouted very ceremonically, "Arthur, please sit."
However, there was no chair for Chen Feiyu at all, and he could only kneel halfway and listen to his father's earnest teachings.
Behind the father's strict discipline of Chen Feiyu, there are also expectations for his son's future.
So in the letter to my son, the tone is "17 years old is destined to be a good start for you." ”
On the contrary, many young students of his age have no one to point out, and they are more dependent on their own.
Some of them have tried their best to get the male lead, and they are still working as supporting roles in major crews, and even running dragon sets.
Acting is a kind of aura flowing from the heart, one depends on talent, the other relies on tempering, and the flowers in the greenhouse are sometimes not as strong as the perception of weeds.
The beating of reality is almost invisible to Chen Feiyu, and there has been no obvious improvement in acting skills in several works.
As a star in the remake of the big IP "Will Night", Zheng Shaoqiu gave him a match, but Chen Feiyu's emotionless interpretation dissuaded many fans of the original.
Even in the recently broadcast "Gold Rush", Chen Feiyu dared to play ugly, closer to reality, but did not see a huge point.
Very similar to Chen Feiyu, as well as Huayi Qianjin Wang Wenye, they all belong to the second generation of the circle where dad is very strong.
When Wang Wen was also very young, he could take a group photo with Jing Bairan, Li Yifeng and other popular male stars.
He also laughed at the fans who chased the stars in private with his girlfriend Qimei.
But later Huayi declined, Wang Wen also took another road, Bai Fumei transformed into a director to engage in a career, just finished studying film in the United States, he could not wait to participate in "Director Please Advise".
The first work filmed in the show was complained about by the judges: the scene was suspended and the lack of life experience.
And the audience also said without mercy that the work was mediocre, unrecognizable, and could not see the real emotions.
The audience has its own aesthetics, has its own value judgments, and is not easy to fool the past, it must have real skills, rather than empty appearances.
Whether it is Chen Feiyu or Wang Wenye, they all have innate family support, and they do not need to start from the minimum to get the opportunity for others to tiptoe their feet.
However, everything has a cause and effect, there is a famous father, everyone will have higher expectations for such a second generation.
So when the audience fails to see the strength in them and matches it, there will be a more intense backlash.
Recently, the second generation of stars that have been frequently revealed is not only Chen Feiyu and Wang Wenye, but also Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo entered the film and television circle to develop, and at the beginning Zhang Yimou also had a plan.
She first studied architecture, and with the encouragement of Zhang Yimou, she was admitted to New York University as a graduate student majoring in directing.
It is reasonable to say that if there is no father like Zhang Yimou, after Zhang Mo graduates, he will also have to slowly survive in the ordinary crew, at least three years and five years, in order to look forward to the opportunity to emerge.
But Zhang Mo's road was particularly smooth.
Zhang Yimou's classic works "The Surprise of the Three Guns Shooting" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhang Mo has participated in it, and has many duties, serving as an assistant director, but also an editor and subtitler.
When filming "Jinling Thirteen Chao", Zhang Mo, who served as an assistant director, was also responsible for the communication between foreign actors and the Chinese team.
In Dad's crew, with such a good opportunity to exercise, Zhang Mo developed very quickly, and in 2016, he had his directorial debut "28-year-old underage" (starring Ni Ni and Huo Jianhua).
(The picture shows the group photo of Zhang Mo and Ni Ni)
By this year's New Year file, "Sniper" has not yet been released, and various speculations from the outside world have not been broken.
It is said that "Sniper" was made by the old man for his daughter.
But the final work presented is the most powerful counterattack: "Sniper" achieved a box office reversal in the later stage, and the reputation was also good.
The second generation of stars is praised, which often triggers everyone's sensitive nerves, but if you can come up with a good work, people will sigh: it is indeed a tiger father and no dog daughter, and blue is better than blue.
But if it is the opposite: failing to come up with a work that can really prove hard power. Most of the time, I was following the direction of the wind and was clearly arranged.
Such a lack of foundation of the second generation of stars, the so-called traffic and high popularity, most of them are hard to smash out, where can the audience be good?
The fight in the entertainment industry is very tragic, and the fate of different people is different.
Zhang Songwen, who has never met a talent, has not received more than 20,000 yuan in an annual income for 10 years, and after acting in "The Hidden Corner", he has been paid more attention to.
He is still a late bloomer, and there are more people who will spend their lives and can't wait for an opportunity.
After experiencing the cold winter of film and television and the epidemic, many waist actors with little popularity have been unemployed for a long time. It is really a loss of financial resources and a loss of security.
Wang Herun, who has not had a scene to shoot for 115 days, is also saddled with huge foreign debt pressure because of the termination of the contract with the former company.
Xin Peng, who has been unemployed for 11 months, is so anxious that he loses sleep in the middle of the night and chisels the wall with his hands, and he does not wait for a role.
But the choice of the second generation in the circle does not have to consider the problem of survival, and it is all about interest.
Liu Yulin, the daughter of writer Liu Zhenyun, quickly came into contact with the director circle because of her father's relationship.
When Liu Yulin went to New York University to study film, she didn't even use the film machine at first.
Catching up with Feng Xiaogang's filming of "1942" in China, Liu Yulin directly took a year off school and went to the crew as a field reporter, following the "big scene".
It is more difficult for others to remake the works of his father Liu Zhenyun, but Liu Yulin persuaded his father to get the adaptation rights of "One Sentence Top Ten Thousand Sentences" after half an hour of phone calls.
(The picture shows the stills of the movie "One Sentence Top 10,000 Sentences")
In any case, these "second generation of stars" are always supported by someone behind them, and pursuing their dreams in showbiz is just one of many choices.
Chen Feiyu, who is always a breath away from the explosion of popularity, on the surface, is bad luck, but in fact it may be: there are too many choices left for him.
Without the embarrassment of having a hard foothold, where will there be the motivation to break the cauldron and kill a bloody road?
In this world, there is still the starting point of someone's birth, which is the end of other people's lives.
Please, the second generation of stars, hone your strength, after all, the audience's eyes are shining.
