What is the most important thing in hollywood's capital entertainment industry?
Some children's shoes said that it must be acting.
Strictly speaking, this is true.
However, there is actually another answer, the appearance.
Don't laugh, when controlled by capitalists, appearance is indeed something that will always come first.
No matter how good your acting skills are, you also need to show them in the movie.
But the way you look is something that is clear at a glance.
To put it bluntly, in fact, you want to let the people who control the resources see your value.
And the value of the face is the most intuitive thing.
In the entertainment industry, even if you just have good looks and capital can be seen, at least it is not a problem to catch a vase role.
Because of this, you can see that there are many girls who run to various plastic surgeries and then squeeze their heads to enter the entertainment circle.
These girls generally don't have any acting skills, but it's enough for them to get a vase role.
Charlize Theron mentioned today, I believe that everyone is no stranger.
Born in South Africa in 1975, Theron came to Los Angeles in the 1990s without any acting experience or training.
However, in the 1996 film "Two Days in the Valley", she was noticed by many producers.
Of course, the reason for noticing her is not her acting skills, but her appearance.
How beautiful was Theron, who was in his early 20s at the time?
Just look at the picture and you know that it is indeed a special thing in the world.
In fact, as early as when she first entered the industry, she encountered a "sofa audition", according to her words, she was scared to run away at that time to survive.
During this period at the end of the 20th century, Theron was given a large number of opportunities to appear in various films.
Of course, in these films, her role tasks are generally relatively simple.
Beauty is the end of it.
Interestingly, Theron himself didn't think so.
As early as "Two Days in the Valley", she said that she would like to play more different types of roles.
To put it bluntly, Theron didn't want to be a vase for the rest of her life.
However, at that time, she was soft-spoken, and it was good to have a scene, so this was just a kind of hope for herself.
But she has also been trying to hone her acting skills.
At that time, her agent and mentor Harris gave her a very interesting advice.
"I think you can try to be a producer."
Of course, the later Theron was still a film actress, but Harris's advice was crucial to her.
The reason is simple, in Hollywood, Vanity Fair, capitalists only value your appearance.
What the? Do you want to try other characters when you make a movie? No way, when the vase sells bad looks? You can only be a vase to bring us income.
You play other types of roles, what if you mess up?
But if Theron can become a producer, then he will have a lot more say in the movie.
In 2003, she finally starred in a "different role" in her first film, The Witch Head.
The film is about how a prostitute with a rough background becomes a serial killer step by step, and it is also adapted from real people.
In order to play this role well, Theron spent a lot of energy.
She spent a long time studying character archetypes, turning over all the materials, hoping that she could completely imitate her language and body movements.
What's more, she also destroyed her proud appearance for the sake of the role.
Shave off eyebrows, don't take a shower, gain dozens of pounds, and wear braces to deform your face.
To be honest, just by looking at the appearance, it is difficult to believe that this is the same person.
Theron's efforts were not in vain, and in the 76th Oscars, she successfully won the queen of the film with this role.
Don't you all think I can only play the vase? Do you think I can only show my value by playing a vase?
Then I will use this little golden man to tell you that my sister can sell both her appearance and acting skills.
Since then, Theron's value in the eyes of capital can be said to have increased by several notches.
She has a high appearance and can play a vase or a role that does not require much acting skills.
In other words, commercial filmmakers are coming.
She has superb acting skills and is unambiguous in acting in literary and artistic films.
She is very dedicated and even willing to sacrifice her appearance for the role, that is, there is no so-called "role that does not fit her".
Even if she did, she would make an effort to fit the role.
After that, Theron finally fulfilled his wish when he was young.
Played a variety of different types of roles.
In "All Superman Hancock", he starred as a superhero.
In Burning Plains, she is a complex woman entangled in childhood sins.
In "Tully", he gained dozens of pounds and played a housewife who was crushed by life.
In Prometheus, she becomes a ruthless explorer again.
In Mad Max 4, she shaves her head to play an apocalyptic commander.
In "Fast and Furious 8", she also became the main villain.
In recent years, she has also made a big splash in various action movies.
For example, "Extremely Cold City" and "Eternal Guard".
In order to play well, she also tried to train herself to learn various martial arts.
Theron's fans loved to call her "Sai Huang", and in fact she was fully qualified to live up to the title.
In her most beautiful years, she clearly understood that beauty is not a lifetime.
Now you are beautiful, but in Hollywood, in places like the entertainment industry, there are countless high-value girls pouring in every day.
When you are old and your appearance cannot be sold, capital will not hesitate to drive you down and let other younger girls take the position.
On the contrary, acting skills and achievements are the things that can really follow you for a lifetime.
Appearance and appearance will depreciate with the passage of time, while acting skills and honors will appreciate with the passage of time.
At a young age, Theron was able to see this clearly and worked hard towards this goal, and finally did what he wanted to do.
The word "Emperor" she really deserves.
