In many movies, TV series and even anime works, it can often be seen that the protagonist was arranged by his family early on one road after another, and the family members had long helped him pave the road behind.
However, these roads are not what he likes, and in the end he resists the pressure to go out of his own world, which is difficult at first and endures the pressure of being criticized.
But in the end, he finally achieved great things in the field he loved, slapped everyone in the face, exhaled and raised his eyebrows, and walked to the peak of life.
Although the core spirit of these works is relatively inspirational, they are more or less too romantic, after all, looking at reality, people who have the courage to do so are actually a minority.
On the one hand, the family will not always want to harm you, and can pave the way for you, which shows that the family has a bit of a way in this field, and it is easier to have support than to fight alone, and it is easier to succeed.
After all, in reality, most people are just ordinary people, and they do not have the strong luck, ability or even talent of the protagonists in those works.
A Hollywood actress to talk about this time is a very typical example, she is Blake Lively, who was once named one of Hollywood's "Four Little Hua Dans".
Blake was born in 1987 into an acting family in Los Angeles, her father is an actress, her mother is a talent agent, and her other siblings are also actors.
Normally, the family works in the entertainment industry, so Blake has been ears and eyes since he was a child, so naturally he is also very interested in acting work?
The answer is no.
Because parents are not worried about letting Blake when he was a child be taken by a nanny, they often bring the children to the set.
On the one hand, children are still more at ease in front of their own eyes, on the other hand, they also hope that their children will grow up to enter the entertainment industry as stars and actors, so they must "start from an early age".
Gradually, listening to the director on the set, the cameraman, the lighting engineer walking around, the actors reciting their lines, some boys and girls coming to line up for film and television auditions, etc., all became part of Black's life.
In other words, it's like clocking in, step by step, no passion, but it's just something you experience every day.
At the same time, because Blake's body developed relatively fast when he was a child, he was much "stronger" than his peers and even boys, and he had to help pour tea and deliver water many times on the set.
But everyone knows, what do children like the most? is play, Blake was also an active person when he was a child, because his health is better, and he will even play football with boys, and there are more entertainment items to play.
However, I had to work as a waiter on the set, and all I got was adults saying "Ah so well-behaved and cute child".
Because of this, after becoming famous, Blake recalled those years and said that it was really her nightmare at that time, and she actually just wanted to go to play with her friends.
This situation continued until Blake was 10 years old, and under the arrangement of her family, she played some small supporting roles in the movie, and she could be regarded as a child star.
Although it is not popular, for parents, it can be regarded as accumulating experience for their daughters.
As for Blake's own opinion? It is also a customary daily "clock-in" behavior, which I don't like, but I don't reject it.
On the one hand, Blake had a relatively soft personality when she was a child, and on the other hand, she also knew that her family was for her good, so she didn't want to make trouble.
Although I don't like it, I don't hate it, so let the family say whatever it is!
That's the idea.
In high school, Black planned for the future, she did not want to go to film school or anything, but planned to study at Stanford University and work in other industries.
At that time, Black's brother was very impatient when he learned what his sister thought.
Because the brother and sister have a very good relationship, when his brother was in elementary school, he couldn't adapt because of his introverted nature, and Blake was tall because he was tall, and he disguised himself to be the same age as his brother to go in to accompany him under the arrangement of the family.
And Blake's brother also works in the entertainment industry, as early as when his sister was preparing to enter high school, he planned a future route for her, and it was also the same idea as his parents to make Blake an actor.
To this end, when Black was in his third year of high school and preparing for the graduation exam, his brother pulled relationships everywhere, found an audition opportunity for a youth love movie "Summer of Jeans", and recommended his sister to try it.
At this time, in fact, Blake refused in his heart, because he couldn't say that her brother asked her to try....... Stop, it's not like that.
The main thing is that at that time Blake was stepping up his preparation, if he went to the audition, if he failed, it would be a waste of time, and what if he succeeded? I don't want to be a star and don't want to be an actor.
However, in view of the very good relationship with his brother since childhood, his brother often takes Black to travel to increase his knowledge, and Blake has been to many cities such as London and Paris.
Therefore, for the sake of her brother, "wasting a little time" was worth it for Black, so she went to audition.
And it really worked.
This step also changed her future path.
It is said that people change, and so does Black.
However, this is not to say that Blake auditioned successfully, then made a movie, fell in love with the profession of actor, and then went down this road despite his life.
The actual situation is that when the movie was announced, because he had to go everywhere in various cities, Blake originally liked to travel around, so he liked this rhythm of flying around.
According to her later statement, she felt at that time that being an actress was actually not bad, but to say that she liked it was not necessarily, for her, she had a lot of fun the summer of filming, nothing more.
But of course, the family wants her to be an actress, since she has officially entered the industry, and she does not hate this profession, naturally she will not let her run out again.
My brother told her that even if you continue to be an actress, you can go to Stanford University, and the two can coexist.
In the end, Blake naturally entered Stanford University, but her acting career did not stop, and she really encountered problems with both ends, after all, people's energy is limited, on the one hand, to study, on the other hand, to film, for her is still too reluctant.
Especially at that time, due to Black's excellent appearance, he was rated as the four little flowers in Hollywood, and the popularity was high, and sometimes the two works were filmed back-to-back, in this case, he also had to take care of the school's bunch of courses, it is estimated that if Blake had read "Journey to the West", he would like to ask the teacher to let Sun Wukong teach her the spell of conjuring countless doppelgangers with a hair.
At this time, the family persuaded her not to read it, you are now so good in acting, it is better to concentrate on the development of the entertainment industry, right?
However, Blake made the only tough attitude in his life, this no, I had to finish college.
In the end, it can only be dealt with in a compromise, that is, take a one-year break from school and shoot the scene first.
Of course, Black's acting career is not smooth sailing.
In 2011, she starred in a movie that hit the street at the box office and could go down in history.
The movie is called Green Lantern.
For Blake, however, the film was arguably the most important work of her life.
Why? Because although the box office hit the street, she gained her husband, that is, the male protagonist of "Green Lantern", the ex-husband of widowed sister Scarlett Johansson, known as the cheap Ryan Reynolds.
Interestingly, after marrying Reynolds, Black began to slowly fade out of the big screen.
On the one hand, she knew that the reason why Reynolds divorced his widowed sister was because his widow's career was getting better and better, and Reynolds was the opposite at that time, leading to increased friction and finally taking the road of no return.
She doesn't want to do this, and besides, although she herself regards acting as a part of her life, as mentioned before, it is just an arrangement by her family, if you really want to say that she really likes that, it may not be, her career is obviously not as heavy as Scarlett.
When the economic environment permits, she is not a star actor, which is actually nothing to her, or her husband is more important.
It can only be said that everyone's pursuit is different.
On the other hand, Blake had already found other ways at that time, that is, the fashion industry, and when he was free, he would not be able to do anything about advertising endorsements or do interior design.
After giving birth, Blake focused more on the family, learning to cook or something, cooking rice for Reynolds to taste, showing affection, and following her husband to attend events.
Such a life, for Black, is already very happy and fulfilling.
In fact, if you look at Blake Lively throughout her career, you will find that she belongs to the kind of girl who "favors God".
She didn't like acting, but her family arranged the way for her, and then she really made a name.
The box office hit the street of the movie he made became a joke in film history, and he gained her husband when his commercial value fell.
An overly smooth life is really like the protagonists of the movies, TV series and anime works mentioned at the beginning.
But all this is actually due to her own personality.
Because a lot of times, giving up is a hard thing, especially if you've already achieved a little.
Not to mention that people in the world, regardless of gender, can completely get rid of the word "fame and fortune" are a minority.
But Black's personality, except for college studies, seems to be a "negotiable" attitude towards everything else, from the perspective of hindsight, perhaps this is an important reason why this Hollywood four-little flower can get a happy and happy life.
Life arranged by others may not be smooth, but for Blake, it is definitely beautiful.
