1. Opening remarks
leads us into the magnificent picture of the contemporary entertainment industry, where the big-name stars' vision for the future and the current situation of giving birth to successors are not always satisfactory, and the uneven results during this period are embarrassing!
The gorgeous and dazzling entertainment industry is like countless dazzling stars, overflowing with stars, attracting countless newcomers who aspire to become stars. As superstars, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the flame, and look forward to one day, they can ignite a new flame of light in this vast starry sky.
However, the road has not been smooth sailing, full of challenges and difficulties. Many superstars have devoted themselves to cultivating their successors, providing them with abundant resources and a broad stage, and sharing their influence and connections without reservation.
However, just as these newcomers gradually emerged, some suddenly fell and lost their luster; Some can continue to burn, spread their wings, and eventually become a new star.
In this starry sky, there is not only the tragedy of the fire fading away, but also the joy of the rising star. The factors of success and failure are intricate, both dominated by strength and some unpredictable fate.
However, no matter what, this is an endless process, and newcomers are discovered and cultivated by big names, and one day they will become the next generation of champions.
2. Look back on the past
Let's go back in time and tell a story about Chen Yuqi, Tang Yan and Luo Jin. Tang Yan once fully supported Chen Yuqi in the popular drama "Splendid Weiyang", making her famous in one fell swoop.
However, Chen Yuqi's acting performance has become increasingly stiff since then, and the development prospects after leaving Tang Yan are worrying.
Looking back a few years ago, Chen Yuqi was just an unknown small role at that time, playing an inconspicuous passerby on the set. However, it was at that time that her fate intersected with the life trajectory of the popular actress Tang Yan.
Tang Yan undoubtedly fell in love with this delicate and lovely girl at a glance, she cared for Chen Yuqi, and in the hit drama "Splendid Weiyang" co-starring herself and her husband Luo Jin, she specially tailored the role of the ninth princess for her, making her popular overnight.
Overnight, Chen Yuqi rode the wings of the nine heavens, like a bright meteor in the dark night! With her keen insight, Tang Yan sent her to the center of the stage and made her shine! With deep gratitude, the young girl said with sincerity at the award ceremony: "All these are the opportunities given to me by Tang Yan and Luo Jin, without their careful cultivation, I would not be able to stand here today and be in everyone's attention!" ”
Fortunately, in the following years and even longer journeys, Tang Yan consistently stayed by Chen Yuqi's side and did her best to support her. She not only let Chen Yuqi play the second female lead in the popular drama "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", but also boldly let this young girl partner with many popular students, hoping to increase her popularity.
However, good times are always short-lived, and as the years go by, Chen Yuqi's acting skills are gradually criticized as "dull and stiff". After losing Tang Yan's protection, her future seems to have become more and more difficult, and many netizens even asserted that her future will decline all the way.
3. Contrasting reality: In stark contrast, Yang Mi's vision is unique, and he discovered and focused on cultivating Di Lieba as early as the Jiaxing period. Today's Di Lieba has emerged and become a hot top flower, with rich resources and broad development space.
In strong contrast to Chen Yuqi's situation, it was Yang Mi's unique vision of Di Lieba when he was in Jiaxing Studio.
As a partner of Jiaxing, Yang Mi is not only an outstanding actor, but also plays the dual role of caster and mentor. She was able to actively include some potential newcomers in the "Jiaxing Gift Package" when selecting actors, providing them with plenty of exposure and training opportunities.
At that time, Di Lieba was still an unknown small character, which was the same as Chen Yuqi's situation back then. However, Yang Mi saw this girl who exuded a unique charm at a glance, and she did not hesitate to select Di Lieba from the crowd, and first handed over this likable character to her in "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", laying a solid foundation for her to soar in the future.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Mi devoted all her efforts to planning and operating for Di Lieba, and created a lot of exposure opportunities for her in popular variety shows such as "Run, Brother", which made her quickly popular.
Today's Di Lieba is already the most popular top actress in the entertainment industry, known as the "red carpet killer", with a steady stream of resources and bright development prospects.
Her impressive achievements undoubtedly benefit from Yang Mi's unique insight and love for talents. As an excellent actor, Yang Mi has proven his own strength; However, she is also an excellent teacher who has the insight to nurture such an outstanding successor.
Fourth, looking back on the past and looking forward to the present, we see that veteran superstars such as Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are also going all out to promote newcomers. Li Bingbing signed a contract with Zhou Ye to provide him with rich resource support, but Zhou Ye's acting skills are often questioned; And Zhou Xun fully supports Zhang Jingyi, although Zhang Jingyi is not the top, but her development path is quite smooth.
Time flies, and the former "Big Four" are now in the middle of their careers, and they have to start thinking about how to select and train suitable successors for themselves.
Li Bingbing is undoubtedly the most courageous of them. As early as 2018, she founded her own media company, Hesong Media, and included the outstanding-looking Zhou into its list of the first batch of signed artists.
Since then, Li Bingbing has done her best to support Zhou Ye and provided her with many important resources, such as letting her serve as the heroine of popular film and television dramas.
However, it is a pity that although Zhou Ye's appearance is impeccable, her acting skills often seem inadequate on major occasions, and her pretentious performances always make people feel dissatisfied, as if they are far away from Li Bingbing back then.
Compared with Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun's way of treating his rookie Zhang Jingyi is more rational and gentle. After signing Zhang Jingyi, Dongshen Future Company, which was co-founded by Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, arranged some medium-level works for her, allowing her to gradually accumulate experience.
Although Zhang Jingyi's acting skills are not outstanding, her reputation is acceptable, coupled with her outstanding performance in recent years by starring in some popular dramas, her development prospects are gradually becoming brighter.
In contrast, Zhou Xun is obviously more forward-looking than Li Bingbing, and her strategy is more stable and thoughtful.
Fifth, Xu Jinglei fully supported the related household Li Gengxi, but Li Gengxi's acting skills were jerky and stiff, coupled with the label of "princess of the Beijing circle", which aroused ridicule from the public; Zhang Ziyi once supported Zhang Xueying in a close friend, but after the "Hu Spicy Soup" incident, Zhang Xueying's resources decreased sharply.
The road to success is not always easy, especially in the career of leading the next generation to glory, it is full of ups and downs and challenges. Xu Jinglei and Zhang Ziyi, two big names, have also encountered deep frustration when cultivating their respective successors.
Take Xu Jinglei's popular Li Gengxi as an example, this newcomer was controversial as soon as he debuted. Xu Jinglei frankly admitted that Li Gengxi was able to step into the entertainment industry largely thanks to his superior family background.
This undoubtedly labeled Li Gengxi as a "relational household" and made her bear the title of "Princess of the Beijing Circle".
However, the more tricky problem is that Li Gengxi's acting skills are slightly jerky and even a little pretentious, especially in some important scenes, which often arouses strong reactions and ridicule from netizens.
Why Xu Jinglei was so fond of her in the first place, we can't know the reason behind it.
The same situation also happened between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Xueying. Zhang Ziyi's love for Zhang Xueying is beyond words, and the relationship between the two is as close as sisters. Zhang Ziyi not only fully supports Zhang Xueying at work, but also is an inseparable friend in private.
However, the good times did not last long, with the outbreak of the "Hu Spicy Soup" incident, Zhang Xueying's sister and agent Zhang Xuemi's public relations ability was seriously insufficient, and she failed to effectively control the fermentation of public opinion, but added fuel to the fire.
Since then, Zhang Xueying's resources have declined sharply, and she was eventually snubbed by Zhang Ziyi.
6. Summary: Although the big flowers have encountered setbacks in the process of supporting their successors, there are also successful examples. Success or failure ultimately depends on personal strength and the arrangement of fate.
In general, whether it is a popular superstar or a veteran of the entertainment industry, they are trying to find and cultivate their successors, hoping to pass on the flame of art.
Although the process is full of hardships and challenges, it is not without its rewards.
from Chen Yuqi cultivated by Tang Yan to Di Lieba discovered by Yang Mi; from Zhou Ye, who signed a contract with Li Bingbing, to Zhang Jingyi, who was strongly praised by Zhou Xun; and then to Xu Jinglei's relation, Li Gengxi, and the grievances and hatreds between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Xueying, these are all the various situations of life that we have witnessed.
Some new-generation artists, with their outstanding talent and perseverance, finally won the love of the majority of fans and became a brilliant popular idol in one fell swoop; However, there are still some people, due to various factors, who cannot go further, and even fall into a deep ebb, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
It is worth noting that the important guarantee of becoming a top traffic star is naturally inseparable from the accumulation of profound professional skills, but sometimes, the ingenious arrangement of the hand of fate also plays a vital role.
However, regardless of the outcome, this energetic cycle of transmission has always maintained its vigorous vitality. Just as a new star shines again after the fall of an old superstar, a new generation of stars is always emerging to become the next leaders to lead the way.
This is the mystery of the endless life of the entertainment industry!
