Mei Zihan was still a little dizzy.
Although he realized that he was popular, he didn't think about how popular he was now or what level of actor he was. Of course, this is also inseparable from the oppression Jiang Ying and Liu Tianyi put on him.
Jiang Ying didn't talk about it, and every time she pointed out Mei Zihan's acting skills, Mei Zihan was like the difference between a primary school student and a doctoral student in front of him. And the actor Mei Zihan usually likes is an international actress like Li Ruo, so it is naturally difficult to compare his true level.
As for Liu Tianyi, he was even more arrogant. Although he has various dissatisfaction with Mei Zihan, he did wholeheartedly build Mei Zihan into a movie king. Some unpopular endorsements, not accepting, not good enough variety shows, not getting on, bad scripts, don't even look at them. If Liu Tianyi let go of his hand a little bit and let Mei Zihan go to participate in some activities and feel the people's pursuit of him, Mei Zihan would not still look ignorant until now.
But this is something neither Jiang Ying nor Liu Tianyi wants to see.
How brainwashing the showbiz's glitz is, they all know it clearly.
Even Liu Tianyi back then couldn't control himself under this kind of tide, and cheated on Li Ruo, let alone Mei Zihan, who became famous overnight? There are so many newcomers in the entertainment industry every year, even if the chance of being a genius is only one in a thousand, there are still many outstanding actors. But the reality is that the actors are seriously disconnected, and those top film and television resources are still firmly in the hands of some old people.
The old people don't retreat, and the new people can't come up, so the middle part appears extraordinarily empty.
Nowadays, there are many TV drama artists, but there are very few outstanding movie actors. This is by no means because movies are not as good as TV. On the contrary, the annual movie box office is a huge number. After all, it's just because these new actors can't stand the test of the big screen, and if they fail a little, they will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Who has the money and reputation to smash them like this
It was Jiang Ying's selfishness not to let Mei Zihan get in touch with this too much.
On the one hand, he hoped that Mei Zihan could really settle down with him, but on the other hand, he didn't want to let Mei Zihan have the possibility of cheating.
Liu Tianyi and Li Ruo are a proof.
Even the relationship between these two people is more stable than Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying. Young men and women share weal and woe, and they are artists and managers. Even so, the two still parted ways, so how could Jiang Ying feel relieved.
Who is not selfish in love
After hearing the director's praise, Mei Zihan said with embarrassment that he would definitely play the role of God of Fortune well, and when he went back, he would watch the finale of "Sniper" with Liu Tianyi and Jiang Ying.
However, the situation that Mei Zihan imagined that the two people would praise him did not happen.
Mei Zihan looked depressedly at Liu Tianyi and Jiang Ying who were playing Weibo nearby.
"Hey, don't read Weibo, I'm a living person standing in front of you." Mei Zihan couldn't help but growled, "Could it be that the photos on Weibo are prettier than mine?"
"The picture on your Weibo still has abs, do you still have them?" Liu Tianyi rolled his eyes, he took this picture before and only used it now, "You're so lazy these days, Do you think I don't know?"
Mei Zihan shuddered, and rolled up the hem of his shirt, "Of course there are abdominal muscles, but they are not so obvious."
Jiang Ying reached out and touched it, "It's a bit soft, don't suck your stomach."
Mei Zihan quickly put down his clothes, "Anyway, I have abs!"
He is now beginning to deceive himself.
Mei Zihan is no longer young and young, and his work and rest are not very good, it is difficult to lose weight, and he gives himself extra meals when he has nothing to do, it is not easy to maintain his figure.
Liu Tianyi originally wanted to give Mei Zihan a hard lesson and tell him to keep his mouth shut, but considering that Jiang Ying is coming soon, he doesn't have to be such a villain, Jiang Ying will also help him "teach him" "Mei Zihan, and then let go of this idea.
In these days, Liu Tianyi looked at Mei Zihan as if he were looking at the grasshopper after autumn, just to see how he can jump around.
As an actor, the most important thing is self-control, but obviously Mei Zihan doesn't have this kind of thing at all. Whether it is acting or doing anything else, Mei Zihan is a capitalized "star person who will die if he is not perfunctory" and the late stage of procrastination.
If someone pushes a step, he will take one step, and if someone stops, he can take a few steps back for you.
Such an artist is simply the most worry-free kind.
"I brought a juicer here." Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan and said with a smile, "There is no kitchen here, and it is not very realistic for me to cook for you, but it should be okay to let you drink a glass of radish juice every day."
Mei Zihan's face suddenly turned pale.
"My dear, it's not good to eat radishes in summer, let's eat them in winter."
"Drink a cup in the morning, the taste will not go away." Jiang Ying said with a smile, "This way you will lose the taste when you eat other things. Don't worry, I will add some other fruits to the radish juice."
That's not what I'm worried about at all? !
"Actually, there isn't any large supermarket near our film crew. I've visited it before, and the owner of the supermarket doesn't buy radishes at all." Mei Zihan persuaded earnestly, "Taobao is too disadvantageous, it's not worth it."
"I brought a suitcase here." Jiang Ying dragged her suitcase over and opened the zipper. Inside were dozens of juicy radishes, which looked extremely cute.
"I bought almost all the different kinds of fruits and radishes on the market. You can try to see what's different." Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan sincerely and said.
No, I don't want to try at all.
Even if there are ten thousand varieties, it cannot change the fact that it is a radish.
"I didn't get Zhuang Hanbai's CP, and I even hired navy soldiers to hack him." Mei Zihan felt that he needed to clarify, he couldn't just give in like this.
"I know." Jiang Ying nodded, and he also funded some sailors.
"But how do you explain the photo in Zhuang Hanbai's hand?" Jiang Ying turned on the phone and showed Mei Zihan a photo sent by Zhuang Hanbai. "Although he deleted it in seconds, the picture is still available."
Mei Zihan looked down and was almost scared out of his wits.
Damn, isn't this the travel photo when he and Zhuang Hanbai were in love, and Zhuang Hanbai still keeps it
Mei Zihan almost convinced Jiang Ying to believe him.
Jiang Ying expressed her trust in him, but she must also drink radish juice.
"Why?" Mei Zihan's face was full of pain, "You already believe me."
"Because you're going to start changing your work route." Liu Tianyi said, ""Sniper" is over, do you know what's going on with you?"
"I'm popular." Mei Zihan was stunned for a moment, "What else do I have to do if I'm popular, isn't it just filming movies, filming TV series, and occasionally accepting commercials?"
Liu Tianyi looked at him speechlessly.
"You have been in the entertainment industry for nothing all these years."
"Uh, you can't say that." Mei Zihan retorted slightly, "I used to be alone, but now I have you and Jiang Ying?"
"Now you have "My Stepfather" and "Sniper", with ratings, word-of-mouth, and popularity. Unsurprisingly, at the end of the year, you can win at least three TV drama awards. In other words, your TV drama It is impossible to achieve better than these two dramas. This is your masterpiece and your pinnacle. It is a good thing and a bad thing, do you understand?" Liu Tianyi looked at Mei Zihan and said.
"I see."
An actor has a representative work and a classic role, which means that he has left a deep impression on the audience and is a good actor. But at the same time, he also faces the dilemma of playing this classic role that nothing can escape. When the audience thinks of him, it is the classic image before, which is simply a great disadvantage to him in the later stage.
How many actors stop because they can't escape a fixed role for a lifetime
There are too many to count.
"In terms of online dramas, you already have "Fu Shen". With this wave of popularity, it will be sold on a good platform and at a good price. In terms of TV dramas, unless there is an idol drama set by a big IP and big producer for you, Otherwise, I don't plan to pick it up for you again." Liu Tianyi said his plan directly, "In this way, you basically have a masterpiece of family drama, drama, comedy and idol drama. Now you have a hard time If you become the second male lead in Han He's movie, then you will naturally focus on movies next. In two months, you will be twenty-eight."
A twenty-eight-year-old male actor would be called a "little fresh meat" in the entertainment industry, but in movies, he is definitely not a good age. Many outstanding movie actors are only in their teens, and they still have a lot of time to hone their acting skills. But if Mei Zihan has practiced for a few more years and reaches his thirties, the only roles he can play are those of Mesozoic male actors. Where else can he get them
Mei Zihan was suddenly in danger.
"Then Brother Liu, what do you think?"
"What Liu Tianyi means is that you start to clean up your image from now on and start to compete for fashion endorsements." Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Now the film market is mixed, you can only use the popularity of TV dramas to rush in. Fortunately, the starting point of your first movie was Han He, so it is a small advantage. But in the eyes of those big directors, you are still just a TV actor, and it is not easy to become an important role in their movies. So you can only find another way, start from the fashion aspect, and reshape your image."
Mei Zihan's face is more suitable for movies. This is Han He's original words, and it is also the common understanding of Jiang Ying and Liu Tianyi.
But Mei Zihan's shortcoming is that he has acted in too many bad movies before, which is a dark history that cannot be erased. The top resources in fashion will tend to give film actors who are outstanding in their own charm and have been recognized by awards, but if it is the other way around, it may not be the case.
Once they become the spokespersons of these top fashion resources, the artist's face will be promoted in various places where these products are sold, and even appear on their official pages, and be seen by customers from all over the world.
The cost of these merchants' marketing methods is difficult to calculate.
Similarly, the fighting and competition for these resources is more violent than the TV drama circle.
What Liu Tianyi wanted to do was to let Mei Zihan take advantage of the awards from TV dramas to use these fashion resources, and let these merchants take hard photos of Mei Zihan with enough quality. When filming a film, it is indispensable to borrow clothes, cars, and sponsorships from these fashion merchants, and they will have more favorable impressions on the spokespersons of these merchants, which is also an important selection factor in casting.
The entertainment industry and the fashion industry are complementary to each other. Mei Zihan has achieved a certain status in the entertainment industry and wants to develop to a higher level, so he must not escape the fashion circle.
"So?" Mei Zihan keenly realized that her future would not be good, and the more popular she was, the busier she would be.
"Didn't you get the certificate of Zhuanba? That's a good thing. I don't need to find another foreign teacher." Liu Tianyi said with a smile, "Your family, Jiang Ying, got you an invitation to a celebrity banquet, let alone a carrot. Juice, even if it’s coptis juice, you have to drink it for me!”
