Academic qualifications are very important for ordinary people, because certificates are often a stepping stone, even if you are capable, but if the education is too low, you may not get the opportunity to show.
So, how important is the degree of education for stars in the entertainment industry?
People who think that academic qualifications are very important to star actors generally feel that because of their high education, they know more, they are stronger than ordinary people in terms of education, education and cultural level, and they can be more exquisite in the entertainment industry.
People who think that academic qualifications are not important to star actors think that being a person is honed from social life, and it is not directly linked to knowledge, and acting skills and other things are not to say that you can improve out of thin air by taking some academic research.
Regarding this point of debate, in fact, we only need to look at the mixing of highly educated stars in Hollywood.
Let's start with two of the higher achievements, Eddie Redmayne (Little Freckles) of Fantastic Beasts and Natalie Portman of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
These two are Oscar queens, and they currently hold a big commercial IP (The Wizarding World and the Marvel Universe)
One of them is a cambridge high-achieving student, the other is a Harvard psychology bachelor, both of which are veritable academic bullies.
So the question is, how much of a help do they have in their careers?
The answer is no.
Little Freckles is from an aristocratic background, the family background is very large, the ancestors are well-known entrepreneurs in London, and they are also married to the military forces, and their parents and brothers have made great names in the local area.
He was himself a classmate of Prince William's.
Coupled with the high education of Cambridge University, it seems that this image should be rushed everywhere, right?
However, the truth is that the little freckles who have just entered the circle have been playing dragon sets in Hollywood, and the reason why he later became famous was because he did not give up his performance in theater during this time, and later won the Tony Award, the highest award in the theater category, in 2010, before opening his acting path.
Is a Cambridge university degree useful? It's useless, capital doesn't look at this, you are a bully, and you have to go to the dragon set to experience it first.
Because capital only cares about how much your commercial value is, whether you have box office appeal, or how much money you can make for them, if your high education can't be transformed into these things, then it is useless.
As for Natalie, her high education has caused her some trouble.
In an interview, Natalie made a very magical statement:
"Milk and eggs come from cows and hens, and we humans have been exploiting mothers and abusing female animals in order to get these things."
"I originally became a vegetarian to protect animals and the environment, but now I know that vegetarianism is to defend women's rights."
"Why is the difference between human beings treating animals and treating people so differently from their children by forcibly separating them from their children and forcing them to lay milk and lay eggs in captivity in a crowded environment? You who eat eggs and drink milk are all abusing animals. ”
Well, I believe that most people are confused after reading her remarks, I will eat an egg and drink a milk and "exploit women's rights" and "abuse animals"?
After Natalie's remarks came out, it was also a group mockery on the external network, and even many netizens said:
"Oh? Is this a high-achieving student at Harvard University? This high degree is great, and it is certainly not the height of thought that we ordinary people can reach. ”
Natalie's high education has become the laughing stock of many people.
It can be seen that the so-called high education has very limited help for the career of actors, and none of these famous stars have relied on academic qualifications.
Even because of their high education, they must be careful in speaking, otherwise the consequences of being eaten back are also serious.
Similarly, there are many highly educated but not well-mixed stars.
For example, loki, the evil god of the Marvel Universe, his actor Jitterson is also a student of Cambridge.
However, the nearly 40-year-old Jitter Sen did not have a weighty award in his hand, nor did he have a commercial film contract, even when he first starred in "The Avengers", the film salary was only $160,000.
At this time, did Jitterson's Cambridge degree help him with anything? Can he double his film salary to several million? Can he get an offer from another film manufacturer all at once?
No, so he can only hold the role of Loki to death, and can only go to marvel supporting customized Loki TV series.
Another British actress, Emma Watson, who played Hermione in Harry Potter, is also a brown university graduate.
But as we all know, her access to harry potter has nothing to do with academic qualifications, and after the end of this series, she graduated from college, but the subsequent development is obviously weak.
Most of the films that followed up did not have a good box office reputation, and the only blockbuster "Beauty and the Beast" was a Disney princess movie that ate the old IP.
Did her academic bully set up a box office success for the movies she acted in? Did she make it so brilliant again after the end of Harry Potter?
No, so in 2019's "Little Women", Watson has to honestly match Silsa Ronan's powerful acting school, and there is currently no film contract.
Therefore, for stars and actors, of course, the higher the better, but they cannot use this as the "main hit".
As an actor, improving your hard acting skills is the most important thing, and at the same time, this kind of thing needs to be slowly learned in social communication, and the so-called high education can help is really limited.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to make a "signboard" with a high degree, only those stars who are not strong enough to engage in gimmicks, they need to set up a person.
School bully talent, British gentleman, school bully girl, British beauty, these people are more popular, right?
They are all highly educated actors, and when they talk about this, they think that he is an Oscar winner, and when they talk about that, they think that he graduated from Cambridge University.
What evaluation would you want as an actor? Presumably, it is not necessary to say, or to say something ugly, only those star actors who are not good at mixing will always want to fiddle with the so-called academic bully.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of capital, these are just to deceive some young fans, and the bullying is just the icing on the cake for the stars, but it is not the same.
