The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, but also a big dye tank, here there are golden houses, there are also Yan Ruyu, there are countless opportunities, there are countless traps.
Many stars who have tasted sweetness in the entertainment industry, whether suitable or not, have done their best to arrange their children into the entertainment industry, thus giving birth to a new ethnic group, called the second generation of stars.
In the development of the entertainment industry, the second generation of stars has a unique advantage, relying on the fame and accumulated resources accumulated by their parents for many years, their starting point may be the ceiling of many ordinary actors.
Most of the development of the second generation of the post-80s star is not as good as their parents, here is a very intuitive standard, if the second generation of stars is always called "the son or daughter of so-and-so" by the media, it means that the development of the second generation of stars has not surpassed their parents.
There was once a youth inspirational reality show "I Am Not a Star", which tried to show their mental journey of getting rid of their parents' care, self-struggle, and realizing their dreams from the perspective of the second generation of stars.
Many second-generation stars participated in this program, including Pan Yang, daughter of Pan Changjiang, Fu Hao, son of Fu Disheng, Chen Yuemu, son of Chen Baoguo, Hong Tianxiang, son of Hong Jinbao, Wang Jing's daughter Wang Zihan, Zheng Shaoqiu's daughter Zheng Xinyi, and so on, and so on.
After watching this show, I learned that the second generation of stars is a large group, and only a small number of people participate in the show, they are the biggest competitors of those grassroots actors.
The original intention of "I Am Not a Star" is to promote the spirit of the second generation of stars not to fight their parents and fight for themselves, but the setting of the guests makes this show a place for those star parents to compete for popularity.
Every celebrity parent does their best to invite the biggest star they can, as if the bigger the star who is invited, the better the child's game will be.
So the show slowly changed its flavor, the audience did not care who those stars were, but looked forward to the emergence of big-name stars, who should be the protagonists of the star generation, and gradually degenerated into a program prop that invited stars.
The deeper impression is that Fu Hao's parents, Fu Disheng and Ren Jing, in order to make their children have face, they call the big names in the circle one by one, hoping that they can help their sons.
How to expect their own rank is too low, those big stars who received the call all rejected the request of Fu Disheng and his wife, helplessly finally the couple personally went to the battle, did their son's help guests, the entertainment industry's cold and warm can be seen.
"I am not a star" has been held for a total of seven seasons, it can be said unceremoniously that so many stars of the second generation, none of them are beyond their parents, and the purpose of their participation in this show is more to use their parents' fame to increase their exposure.
Not only the rich second generation who participated in "I am not a star", looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a few stars who have surpassed their parents, and this common phenomenon must have its deep-seated reasons, but what is the reason is a matter of opinion.
Perhaps it is the superior conditions created by the parents that weaken the will quality of the second generation of stars and lack the spirit of hard struggle, or perhaps the starlight of the parents is too dazzling, covering up the efforts of the second generation of stars, resulting in the illusion of their mediocrity.
In the second generation of the older generation, there are still many who surpass their parents, such as Ge You, Chen Peisi and Wang Jing. In the second generation of the post-80s star, the only one who surpassed his parents may be Nicholas Tse.
If you want to find the common ground between Nicholas Tse and the previous generation of filmmakers, it must be the spirit of daring to fight, when filming the film "The True Colors of Boys", he could have used a stand-in, insisted on personally fighting, and the long shot to the end brought an incomparably shocking visual impact to the audience.
Nicholas Tse is a well-known desperate man in the entertainment industry, and he has a motto: I hope that audiences and fans will spend money to enter the theater, and the first thing they see is Nicholas Tse, not someone else. Therefore, he never uses a stand-in for filming, just to give the audience the best viewing effect.
In the past, Tse Ting-feng was named "Xie Xian's son", and now, Tse Hsien is known as "Tse Ting-feng's father", all of which is inseparable from Tse Ting-feng's dedication to fighting for himself.
In short, the identity of the second generation of stars is not only a convenient condition, but also a double-edged sword, a person's success, in the final analysis, depends on personal efforts, relying on no one is better than relying on themselves.
