Star remuneration can always trigger heated discussions.
The daily salary of 2.08 million yuan has become a hot meme in internal entertainment.
Not long ago, a Hollywood actor's salary list was exposed.
At the top of the list, several old friends of Chinese audiences have sky-high salaries of more than 100 million yuan.
In millions of United States dollars
In particular, it is worth mentioning brother Atang, who is at the top of the list.
Now over sixty years old, he is still a sword that is not old.
Earn at least $100 million with Top Gun 2: The Lone Ranger.
Fault first, no suspense.
Different from the booing of the sky-high salary of internal entertainment.
Most of the feedback received from this news is "well-deserved" affirmation.
After all, his acting career is indeed "high-risk".
Skydiving, high-rise parkour, pickpocketing planes...
Many difficult stunt performances do not use stand-ins, do not rely on special effects, and personally play.
This time, he flew a fighter jet to show off in the air.
Living has made itself a spectacle.
Because of this, Brother Tang can always carry the box office with his own strength.
And relying on the box office share, we have worked out a "sky-high film remuneration" that is not mixed with water.
At the same time of admiration, Uncle Yu also noticed a problem.
An actor with absolute box office appeal like this has been discontinued.
Many new generation actors are difficult to be alone after departing from the blessing of top IP.
As netizens sighed, "There is no successor in Hollywood."
In fact, not only Hollywood, but also internal entertainment.
Today, let's talk about the root causes behind this phenomenon.
Tom Cruise's box office appeal has always been there for all to see.
In an era of superheroes, the old-school secret agent film Mission Impossible series is still standing.
It grossed more than $3.5 billion worldwide.
For more than 20 years, the reputation has risen steadily, which can be called the conscience of the industry.
And this is inseparable from the overwhelming high-energy famous scenes.
Climb and swing on the surface of the 828-meter Dubai skyscraper.
1500 meters high altitude pickpocket aircraft, wing parkour.
Skydive at 25,000 feet.
Not a superhero, but a superhero.
Just when fans are joking about "Brother Tang's next one is not going to go to heaven".
He did live up to expectations and soared into the sky.
Other people drag cars, drag boats.
He flew fighter jets in Top Gun 2.
Exploded the box office crown.
Behind the impressive box office results, it is all a desperate payment.
When filming the scene of "Disc 6" flying over the roof, AtangGe's landing point was deviated.
The foot slammed into the solid concrete, causing an ankle fracture.
In fact, as soon as he landed, he knew that he had broken his bones.
But I still insisted on finishing the shot.
Afterwards, the interview program mentioned this matter, but it was just a laugh.
Similarly, the 1500-meter high-altitude pickpocket in "Disc 5" is 20 minutes, and the cliff climbing thousands of feet above "Disc 2" is a cliff climb.
The slightest mistake may shatter to pieces.
In "The Last Samurai", when Atang Ge fought with a Japanese samurai in close combat, he was almost cut off in the neck and broke his head.
In fact, at that time, Hollywood's CG technology was already very mature.
But he still insists on shooting, and constantly challenges new difficulties.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, the love of action scenes, the respect for movies.

I think back then, we also had such an action superstar.
Jackie Chan is the only Chinese actor to have been on Hollywood's high-paying list.
It also conquered audiences at home and abroad with wonderful action movies.
It's different from high-end cool routes like Tom Cruise.
Jackie Chan is better at playing a small person with a strong sense of justice, punching and kicking in the streets and alleys, and giving the role more comedic color.
But the same is the level of dedication they have in filming at all costs.
He also rarely uses doubles, and many dangerous movements are personally appeared, and in order to achieve the desired effect, he is often scaled all over his body.
When filming "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", his head was broken, and he could only be inlaid with a metal plate, and the hearing of his right ear was permanently damaged.
In fact, in the former domestic film and television environment, there is no lack of this kind of desperate Sanlang's strength.
Regardless of the size of the coffee, how much drama, and the appearance value.
Most actors put the drama first, and it is common to shed blood and sweat for the role.
When Yang Ziqiong filmed "Police Story 3", an accident occurred during the jumping car, resulting in multiple fractures.
When filming "Akin's Story", he fell from a height of more than 30 meters, broke 3 ribs, and was almost paralyzed.
The supporting role of the villain is also dedicated.
In the movie "Fang Shiyu", Ji Chunhua did not have any protection, was beaten hard, and was punched by Jet Li more than 100 times.
It made his body ache unbearably painful, and he rested for a long time afterwards before he eased up.
But because of this, it has achieved the most classic scene in kung fu movies.
Today, advances in technology have provided actors with a safety net.
Special effects and stand-ins can solve most problems.
Fist to flesh, hormone-bursting freehand fights are becoming less and less.
There are more and more grand scenes of shooting, blasting and even "spells" with the help of special effects.
It's like the fight scenes of the Marvel series, relying entirely on the top production team.
Using CG technology, the actor's activities are filmed in a green screen.
Later, the exterior materials are combined with the interior of the green screen.
Therefore, the actors have a safe environment guarantee.
The iterative upgrading of technology and the safety and security of the actor's environment are naturally not bad things.
But at the same time, the problems caused by this change cannot be ignored.
On the one hand, action scenes are not as enjoyable as they used to be.
The development of special effects has in turn contributed to the phenomenon of flooding special effects.
Action movies that are supposed to be fist-to-flesh have also begun to use special effects to support the scene.
But on the level of imagination, it is far less than the "bullet time" of "The Matrix".
Instead, the action scene was made into a chicken rib.
Ghost Attack: Countering Violence with Violence
In the interview, Brother Tang mentioned more than once the reason why he insisted on shooting.
Because the realism of the action is irreplaceable by special effects.
It is precisely the sense of realism that has achieved the most original shock of action movies.
Take the plane scene of Top Gun 2.
Long-range shots, relying on special effects can also achieve a realistic look and feel.
But close-up shots of actors in the cockpit, the effect of facial muscles pulling under the action of G force, cannot be 100% restored by special effects.
And it is such details that give the audience the strongest sense of substitution, with the excitement, nervousness and adrenaline rushing with the characters.
On the other hand, the strength of martial arts directly affects the appeal of literary drama.
This is most thoroughly reflected in internal entertainment.
In the past, the actors themselves were on the battlefield, and they could be completely integrated into the role, and the expression of emotions was easier to land naturally.
But today, stand-ins, technology, replace experience and thinking.
It will affect the actor's in-depth understanding of the role and the proper expression of emotions.
What's more serious is that even literary drama has emerged more and more stand-ins.
On the grounds of lack of time, many long-range and close-up shots can be handed over to the stand-in.
Unlike the glorious period of Hong Kong films, "Wu Ti" such as Yuan Hua and Qian Jiale also have a lot of popularity, and they can also sit on an equal footing with the actors with excellent strength, and eventually lay a foundation for themselves.
Nowadays, many young actors' stand-ins are completely obscure tool people, taking over the scenes that the starring actor disdains to shoot.
Developed to the extreme, there are more outrageous operations such as cutting pictures and changing faces.
The threshold for actors is lowered and the substitution is enhanced.
The entire market is heavily tilted towards capital.
This also explains to some extent why Hollywood can't create new superstars.
"Chaos Walking", released last year, is a typical example.
The two main actors are the Dutch brother brought out by Marvel and Daisy Ridley by Star Wars.
The cost was as high as $125 million, however, it only grossed 26 million worldwide.
Word of mouth is even more fluttering, and the major platforms have failed.
Foreign media bluntly said that "the audience cares more about IP than stars".
Movie box office increasingly relies on IP and capital.
The real box office appeal of the film industry's new stars, almost extinct.
From desperate samurai to technical support.
The change in action actors is only a small part of the industry.
It is also an unstoppable development trend with the development of science and technology.
The film and television environment is no longer the same as before, and the reduction of the actor's personal charm must also be affected by other complex factors such as funds and operating cycles.
But decades later, Brother Tang is still a resounding influence.
In fact, it shows that in the era of fast food, we still need to fight hard.
It's not just the outward courage to fight in person, the guts to suffer.
What's more important is the dedication to being willing to sacrifice everything for the role.
Achieve the ultimate professional pursuit in the chosen field.
Several other actors on the film's salary list are also as well-deserved as Brother Tang.
Even if you don't fight for your life in action movies, your dedication is the same.
It is still remembered by many Chinese audiences, and it is precisely because of the many film characters that have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Little Plum rose to fame with his divine appearance, and later continued to broaden the path of drama, not hesitating to self-destruct his image.
In fact, I am constantly challenging my acting limits.
Shi Huang's positive, positive and highly contagious image left for the audience on the screen is inseparable from his careful polishing of the role.
Whether it is gags or water-like warmth, they are all reasonable and real.
So in mainstream commercial blockbusters, he rarely loses his hand.
Although the box office is not the only measure of an actor, it is undeniable that it represents the recognition of the audience to a large extent.
Only if you have accumulated enough trust in your previous works will you choose a movie because of an actor.
But nowadays, there are fewer and fewer such actors.
The burden of idols is getting heavier and heavier, and the suitability of characters is constantly being complained about.
There are also fewer and fewer films that individually carry the box office, and platter movies are popular in order to harvest the box office.
Especially under the influence of the fan economy, the entire film and television ecology has become deformed.
Polarization is becoming more pronounced.
Many actors who debuted at the peak enjoyed the dividends of traffic, gave up the polishing of their abilities, and lost the intensive cultivation of their works.
However, it occupies the top position and enjoys various resources, making it difficult for the really capable and hard-working low-level actors to get ahead.
The end result is that the actors are unstable, the film is interfered with too much, and the box office has become a metaphysics.
National idols like Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan, which have both box office appeal and convincing mouths, have disappeared.
Even the word idol itself seems to be the opposite of strength.
Mismatch has become the norm in the industry.
Only then is the current audience's anger at the sky-high salary.
The market is not without eyes.
Data can be faked, but the experience cannot be changed.
The appeal of the box office does not stem from the floating name that has been put on the stage.
Rather, it is a work of enterprising spirit and deep popularity.
The audience's expectations should not be defeated by false business.
