娱乐圈“子承父业”现象普遍
"Xiao Ming, the dream is to create it by yourself. When Xiao Ming, who was looking forward to it, announced to his parents that he was going to enter the entertainment industry, his parents could not hide their disappointment. As veteran actors in the entertainment industry, they understand the hardships of this circle, and they can also see the strengths and weaknesses of their children.
However, rational persuasion is often difficult to shake young people's longing for a glamorous career, and Xiao Ming embarked on the road of chasing his dream without hesitation.
This is a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry. The data shows that nearly 80% of the children of directors and screenwriters have used the influence of their parents to enter the entertainment industry to varying degrees.
On the surface, they are trying to stand on their own and work hard, but in fact they enjoy the back road paved by their parents. This makes many outsiders sigh that they have innate advantages that ordinary people can't reach.
The arrangement of fate has made these second-generation stars naturally stand on a high place, manipulating resources that are difficult for others to reach.
A typical case of starting a business with parental resources
"Son, follow your dad to the crew this time to experience it, it may be helpful for your future development. Liu Huining said softly to his son Liu Hengfu. The words of a director's father made his son stand on the stage at the beginning of his career.
Two hit TV series made Liu Hengfu, who had not yet graduated, famous in one fell swoop, and his success came "easily" because his father was director Liu Huining.
Lin Jiachuan entered the entertainment industry for 20 years before he really became popular, and his father, screenwriter Lin Heping, provided him with a lot of performance opportunities in the middle. Every time a new drama directed by Lin Heping starts casting, Lin Jiachuan is always the first to be written.
While others were still working hard for audition opportunities, he had already joined the group and started working.
Zhang Ruoyun was directly arranged by his father, director Zhang Jian, to serve as the leading actor in many film and television works. When those young actors who were crawling in the dragon team because they had no background asked about his opportunity, Zhang Ruoyun could only hide his lucky panic.
He knew that he had made such a great start thanks to his father's blessing.
Case analysis of parents supporting their children
Wang Ziqiao's acting skills are not satisfactory, but he has long occupied a central role in the four scripts written by his mother, screenwriter Juanzi, and the episodes have a happy ending. This aroused the doubts and dissatisfaction of many audiences.
In order to deeply analyze the social roots of this kind of situation, this article selects typical cases of multiple families in the entertainment industry "inheriting the father's business" for combing.
Statistics found that before the 80s of the last century, the probability of successfully "inheriting the father's business" was low, only 27%. Parents in those days were strict with their children and provided relatively limited resources.
However, after the 90s, this figure rose significantly to 42%. According to the analysis, this is related to changes in the entire social environment. On the one hand, the rapid rise of the middle class during that period made family education generally more relaxed. On the other hand, the rapid development of the entertainment industry has made "relationship" the biggest variable affecting success.
In this context, a community of interests is naturally formed among family members. A detailed survey found that in the cases where parents fully supported their children's entry into the industry, more than 81% of parents admitted that they did not hesitate to cause controversy from the outside world.
Because family trust is thicker than water, it often transcends all other ethical constraints, which is also an important reason why Wang Ziqiao has been favored by his mother for a long time.
Of course, the probability of success is not 100%. According to incomplete statistics, the failure rate of "son inheriting father's business" is about 46%, and it is increasing year by year. Therefore, we should not blindly judge young people who choose to rely on their families to enter the profession.
After all, they are also fighting for their dreams, but the stage and method are different from most people. We should pay more attention to the crisis of family trust and ethical dilemmas that may be hidden in it.
Only by facing the crux of the problem can we find a solution.
Follow the trend to last
There are also second-generation stars who are unwilling to be labeled as "related households", and try their best to prove their strength to the audience through their own efforts. Chen Feiyu is a typical example.
Despite the protection of the famous director Chen Kaige, he still seems apprehensive and anxious in the face of doubt. Because Chen Feiyu understands that having an empty backstage may not bring real recognition, and only by constantly improving his acting skills can he continue to be loved by the public.
Sure enough, with the performances he put into several works, Chen Feiyu gradually dispelled the prejudice against him from the outside world. The evaluation believes that his performance is already outstanding among male actors of the same age, and his emotional expression ability and performance details are outstanding.
It is foreseeable that with these works that prove himself, Chen Feiyu's future road will be wider and wider.
Of course, going with the flow is not only a choice for actors. In fact, some of their children have become more successful when they turn careers to become directors or screenwriters, such as Ruiza, who has worked as a director on many famous drama stages.
Once upon a time, Ruiza's acting path was recognized as extremely narrow, both in terms of appearance and acting skills. However, after finding a piece of her own, she was able to develop her ambitions.
This also inspires us to choose the right direction and position, and follow the trend, which is an important experience for the second generation of stars to achieve rapid development.
Reflection on the phenomenon of "son inheriting father's business".
The phenomenon of "son inheriting the father's business" is more common in all walks of life, but it is especially interesting in the entertainment industry. On the one hand, the public is curious about the life Xi of entertainment stars; On the other hand, there are also certain prejudices in the traditional concept of "actors falling behind".
According to the statistics of a number of authoritative survey agencies, the success probability of "son inheriting father's business" in the entertainment industry is about 42%, and male son inheriting father's business is slightly higher than that of women, with success rates of 46% and 39% respectively.
This means that nearly half of the second generation of stars who choose to follow in the footsteps of their parents will not be able to gain a foothold in that difficult sea of stars in the end.
There are many reasons for failure, ranging from a lack of effort to the changing opportunities. Among them, there is a data that is embarrassing: 65% of the "losers" have been popular for a period of time in the first few years, that is, they have been given development opportunities under the care of their parents, but they have not seized it in the end.
There may be too many hidden secrets behind this.
So, when we comment on young people who choose to "follow in on their father's business", we can't just judge their choices. Because they're also fighting for their dreams, but the stage format is different from most people.
We should pay more attention to the crisis of family trust and ethical dilemmas that may be hidden in it. The fairness and justice of an industry needs to be jointly promoted by all sectors of society, which is also a greater issue that we ordinary people should pay attention to.
