As we all know, stars have become a profession that many people aspire to nowadays.
After all, not to mention the high income, you can also enjoy a star-studded moon, the feeling of being high, which also leads to every year, the entertainment industry around the world, there will be no shortage of people.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of boys and girls with good faces and good looks and figures.
Because the entertainment industry is also a field controlled by capital, coupled with fierce competition, many times, these boys and girls who enter the circle have to accept some rules, which are also the rules of the circle.
But there are some young people who feel that their faces are good-looking, and they always feel that as long as they listen to capital in everything, they will definitely be popular, they will be famous, and people will definitely give resources to themselves.
Is this really the case? The experience of a Hollywood actress to talk about this time tells you the answer.
Her name is Naomi Watts.
Some people may not be very clear about this name, after all, compared to Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, these world-famous actresses, Naomi's fame is indeed much worse.
But if it comes to 2005, the blonde heroine in the monster film "King Kong" made by Peter Jackson, a big director, many children's shoes must suddenly realize.
Oh, so it's her!
In the movie, Naomi plays the heroine Ann, whose amazing beauty even attracts King Kong and leads to the final tragic ending.
In fact, Naomi is indeed suitable for this role, for no other reason, her appearance conditions are indeed excellent.
Some people may think that she is so beautiful, that is the kind that God appreciates to eat, and her career should be smooth sailing, right?
The answer is no, Naomi's road to entry is very difficult.
Naomi was born in the United Kingdom in 1968, she planned to enter the entertainment industry when she was very young, and for this purpose, she traveled to various places, went to Japan, Australia and other places, constantly received advertisements, worked as a model, and made short films.
Interestingly, at that time, her classmate, Nicole Kidman, who later became famous in Hollywood, was her classmate.
The two girls have the same intentions, but the experience is only a little the same.
After they entered the circle, they quickly accepted the rules of capital.
Everyone understands, including but not limited to performing art in various movies.
So, are they red?
The answer is no, after many years of tinkering, is still to the extent that no one knows.
In this situation, Naomi made a decision, she was going to fight on a bigger stage, that is, Hollywood.
Many times people do have such an idea, can't mix in an environment, will think of changing the environment, a big stage, there will be more opportunities.
But in fact, there are many opportunities on the big stage, but in the same way, the competition will be more intense.
Naomi, who just came to the United States, has a very difficult life.
She was 25 years old at the time, but she still had to audition everywhere for playing some tricks.
I even tried to audition for 5 roles in one day, but the answer was to go back and wait, and then there was no follow-up.
In this regard, Naomi also did not shy away from saying in front of the media:
"The city was really tough, I was mentally hit very hard and the most painful thing was the endless auditions. Knowing that you have performed well, but not getting that opportunity can be quite uncomfortable. You don't have any popularity, so you are destined to be treated a lot of badly, and when I auditioned, all kinds of unbearable things awaited me, but I needed this job and could only accept those terrible things. I auditioned many times for a play, and after passing the directing level, the producers didn't like me because they didn't think I was sexy enough. ”
Naomi's memories are very interesting.
Yes, you are beautiful, but in the entertainment industry, there are people who are more beautiful than you, can you compete with others?
In the circle of capital, you have to satisfy not only the director, but also other stakeholders.
You passed the directing level, but the producer has someone else you want to promote, or a related person, so what can you rely on to get this role? Shape? Cheek?
In contrast, Naomi's classmate, Nicole Kidman, is much smarter.
She hooked up with Tom Cruise, the top Hollywood movie star at the time, early on, and the two quickly established a relationship and even got married.
With a big tree in the circle to shelter from the wind and rain, Nicole Kidman no longer has to face the terrible demands of those capital old white men, which she also said after she divorced Tom.
It was because of Tom's protection that she was saved from a lot of harm.
After that, Nicole Kidman became close to Weinstein and constantly expanded her network in the circle.
It can be said that in the end, Nicole's career success and the handling of interpersonal relationships must account for a large part of the reason.
This is also a very real problem for many boys and girls who want to enter the entertainment industry.
Do you think your appearance can be compared to Naomi Watts? Even she has been brushed off, there is no background, if it doesn't matter, what do you think is the probability of you becoming the person chosen by capital?
Of course, excellent appearance is indeed a little higher starting line for competition, but it is not enough to constitute the conditions for victory.
In other words, a person who has nothing wants to enter the entertainment industry, the starting line is 1, you have good appearance conditions, that is, 3, people have a background relationship, that is, 5-7, then who is easier to reach the 10 of the finish line, you can imagine.
Speaking of Naomi, she was in financial difficulty due to the very bad work situation, and she was almost evicted to sleep on the street because she couldn't pay the rent.
Generally, in this case, there are only two choices, either to back down or to persevere.
Naomi chose the latter.
Therefore, she began her own trick again, which lasted for a long time, of course, Naomi did not say a trick or anything and used a perfunctory attitude to deal with it.
She treats every role she wants to play very seriously, and constantly hones her acting skills.
After all, if she wants to succeed, hard power is the most basic condition, and she has never forgotten this.
It wasn't until she was in her 30s that her chance, oh no, should be said to be luck.
At that time, Naomi went to audition for the movie "Mulholland Drive", generally speaking, the heroine of this type of movie will not consider her such a famous-not small actor, she was also very hesitant at first, whether she would go or not?
Audition failure is normal for a young actor like her, but she will waste a lot of time for it.
In the end, she went anyway, and then the director finally took a fancy to her.
As for the reason? There is no big reason, that is, the director looks at this woman and feels that this woman is good and her acting skills are good, so he let her participate.
At the interview conference, Naomi couldn't help but be excited, and she also said that she really didn't expect to get this role, because logically speaking, it was not her turn.
With years of tempering, Naomi performed well in the film and made her famous in one fell swoop.
After this movie, Naomi's film appointments increased, and she was no longer the dilemma of not getting a role five times a day, and later took on "King Kong", and her career reached its peak.
Speaking of this, some people may think that this Naomi experience is not telling everyone that after entering the entertainment industry, don't give up, no matter how difficult it is, you must persist until the day the opportunity comes?
However, although Naomi succeeded in the end, her experience cannot actually be said to be a public case, but can only be said to be a special case, because her success is inseparable from the acting skills honed by her acting for many years, but obviously luck also accounts for a large proportion.
Although success sometimes requires luck, in fact, people can't base their success on luck, after all, it is too unrealistic.
Therefore, most boys and girls who want to enter the entertainment industry will probably only repeat Naomi's experience before she became famous.
That is, accept the rules of capital, but it cannot be fired, and can only be set all the time.
Unlike Naomi, most people generally have to give up their dream of stardom and find a stable career when they get older, but because they were focused on being a star, they couldn't find a satisfactory job and were in a miserable situation.
