1. Passionate opening remarks: Whether the stars of the entertainment industry can really emerge and become popular all over the country, in addition to their outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, the most important thing is to have a rare opportunity!
On this stage of the entertainment industry full of competition and challenges, if an actor wants to truly achieve brilliant achievements in his career, it is obviously far from enough to rely only on his beautiful face and excellent acting skills.
In addition, there is another crucial factor - that is opportunity! As people often say, "opportunity only favors those who are prepared", only by perfectly integrating these three can we finally win the pinnacle of our career and enjoy the wealth and glory of life.
Regrettably, however, many actors tend to be overly egotistical and blind to the role opportunities that are tailored to them, thus missing out on valuable development opportunities.
On the contrary, those newcomers who have been ignored and have been unknown have been able to grasp this rare favor and rise rapidly with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Such a phenomenon is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and there are countless of them.
2. Vivid and detailed case analysis: Taking Zhou Jie's successful appearance in "Bao Qingtian" as an example, we can see that the director originally intended to invite Lu Yi to be the leading actor in the play, but because Lu Yi was worried that playing the role in the play would affect his own image and chose to decline, he missed this golden opportunity.
Zhou Jie's brilliant performance in the play made him famous overnight, while Lu Yi's attempt to reinvent himself in the second work was questioned by the audience.
Recalling those classic TV series in the 90s, "Bao Qingtian" is undoubtedly one of the most influential and unforgettable masterpieces.
Initially, the director intended to invite Lu Yi to interpret this role. As the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls in that era, the young and handsome Lu Yi is undoubtedly the best candidate.
At that time, he was at the peak of his career, and he was widely praised for his appearance and acting skills, so the director had high hopes for him and decided to entrust him with the responsibility of this role.
However, just when the two sides were about to reach an agreement, Lu Yi suddenly changed his mind and resolutely refused to accept it on the grounds that he was worried that playing this role with miner's makeup on his face would damage his handsome image.
Looking at the character that he loved and looked forward to for a long time, and longed to be portrayed by himself, the director couldn't ignore the fact that after all, he passed by them, and chose to give up and re-select candidates.
So this precious opportunity, which should have belonged to Lu Yi, was unfortunately taken away by Zhou Jie.
As soon as the premiere came out, Zhou Jie's perfect and skilled performance immediately gave a strong breath of life to the image of "Bao Qingtian" who was witty, brave and superb in martial arts, and the wonderful plot made the audience have endless memories.
The grand occasion of this drama is unprecedented, and Lu Yi seems to have begun to reflect on whether his original decision was correct.
As expected, when the second series was about to start filming, Lu Yi took the initiative to visit, hoping to regain the role of "Bao Qingtian". However, because the audience has long remembered the image of "Bao Qingtian" created by Zhou Jie, Lu Yi's addition made people feel unacceptable, causing a lot of doubts and criticism.
3. Insert another case: Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong were ordered to take over the role of the protagonists of "Step by Step" because of the withdrawal of the original starring roles, and their outstanding performance made the show famous in one fell swoop, and finally became a loving couple in real life.
In addition to "Bao Qingtian", "Step by Step" is also an unforgettable inspirational masterpiece. At that time, the starring lineup of the play went through many changes, and after twists and turns, it was finally played by Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong, two powerful actors.
At first, the director considered the costume boy Zhong Hanliang for the role of the actor "Ma Debo". For Zhong Hanliang's acting skills and image, the director gave a very high evaluation.
She even came forward in person to mobilize fans to appeal, hoping to finally touch Zhong Hanliang's heart, but no matter how hard the director persuaded or how the fans pleaded with tears, Zhong Hanliang always shook his head firmly and did not agree.
It wasn't until after the drama became popular that the host asked him why he refused to appear in the program interview, and Zhong Hanliang vaguely said that "I have also fought for it".
Subsequently, the director set his sights on Huang Lei, hoping to invite this popular student to sit in charge. However, Huang Lei was at the peak of his acting career at that time, and he was busy with acting, so he was really lacking in skills.
After going through some twists and turns, the filming party of the TV series finally extended an olive branch to Qin Hao, Nie Yuan and other outstanding actors, but these actors failed to take over this important role, and the final result was extremely regrettable.
Sadly, the plot has been developed in depth, and this crucial role finally fell into the hands of Wu Qilong. And the casting process of the heroine "Ruoxi" is even more tortuous and bizarre.
It has been determined that the powerful actor Jiang Yiyan will play this role earlier, and both parties are full of expectations and longing for this role, however, on the eve of the start of filming, Jiang Yiyan's agency team suddenly changed their minds and decided to let her give up this drama because they thought that this drama was "difficult to become popular", so they were unwilling to let the actors make useless efforts.
Although the director tried his best to persuade Jiang Yiyan to go abroad for further study, he could not control the overall situation, and finally had no choice but to give up. The director had to turn his attention to Liu Shishi, who had not yet emerged at that time.
With their superb acting skills, Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong successfully showed the unique charm of the male and female protagonists. The emotional entanglement between the two in the play is delicate and moving, very infectious, making the audience feel as if they are there.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, the two quickly won the love of a large number of fans, and their acting careers also climbed to new heights.
Fourth, back to the original case, we can see that Lu Yi once refused to play the role of a classic supporting actor many times because he was too conceited, which led to the later actors to shine after taking over.
Speaking of Lu Yi, in addition to the missed role of "Bao Qingtian", he also missed many valuable opportunities because of his temporary "high eye". For example, in "The Son of Heaven", the crew intended to invite him to play the role of the emperor, but due to schedule conflicts, he chose to decline directly, which led to Huang Xiaoming's wonderful performance later, and also laid a solid foundation for his future "leader" character.
Another example is the role of "Lin Pingzhi" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the directors originally expected to shape this role through Lu Yi's elegant temperament. However, Lu Yi thinks that "Lin Pingzhi" is a negative role, so he is resolutely unwilling to try to play it.
In the equally wonderful martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a touching story also happened. It was a bold work launched by the talented director Zhang Jizhong at the time, and he longed for the heroic and fearless Lu Yi to interpret the role of "Yang Kang" in the supporting actor in the play.
However, Lu Yi, who has extraordinary knowledge, expressed contempt for this role, but was full of yearning for the role of the dominant actor "Guo Jing".
Unfortunately, because Lu Yi and the character's temperament are obviously inconsistent, Zhang Jizhong can only reluctantly give up this idea. In the face of doubts and speculations from the outside world, Lu Yi always cleverly resolved the embarrassment with reasons such as "the schedule is full" and "I don't know the director".
As for the high-profile "Dragon Babu", according to rumors, Lu Yi was also invited by Zhang Jizhong at that time, expecting him to play the male protagonist "Duan Yu" in the play. However, the huge divergence between the two sides over the expectations of the role eventually led to the breakdown of the negotiations.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Lu Yi actually hopes to be able to play classic heroic roles such as "Ling Hu Chong" or "Qiao Feng".
From these little-known details, it is not difficult for us to see that Lu Yi was indeed a little "eye-catching". He used the excuse of "only playing the male lead" to turn a blind eye to many classic supporting roles that were originally very suitable for his temperament.
This can't help but make people ponder, if Lu Yi had not been so picky at the beginning, would he have been able to seize those precious development opportunities, and would the opportunities he had lost fall into the hands of others?
