director of the millennium

"Teacher Yu Hewei's acting is great!"

"He is also very interesting. When I watched his plays before, I thought he was a very serious person, but I didn't expect that when I met him in real life, I found out that he is a very humorous person in real life and not serious at all."

In the hotel, Liu Yifei lay in Wu Yuan's arms, sharing her experiences on the crew with him.

Yu Hewei had just joined the crew. He had no role when the crew was filming in the northwest. He joined the crew only after arriving in Hengdian. Liu Yifei only spent a few days with him.

But a few days were enough for her to form a preliminary impression.

It can only be said that it is very different from the image on screen.

Perhaps this is what a truly talented actor is like, being able to separate his real life from his image in film and television.

In fact, this is what a good actor does. Excellent actors like Yu Hewei rarely show their private side to the public. The public can basically only see their characters in different films and TV shows, but have no idea about his real personality.

Apart from appearing in film and television dramas, they rarely participate in the recording of variety shows in their own capacity. At most, they will only accept some media interviews, but the content of the interviews is mostly related to the film and television dramas, and they will not talk about their private lives.

The advantage of doing this is that it can maintain the actor's own mystery, while at the same time preventing their true image from being materialized, and there will always be only one side of the actor.

Actors who frequently record variety shows or even become regular guests on variety shows are well-known to the audience because of their images. Having broken the mystery of their identity as actors, if they appear in film and television dramas again, the audience will only feel that they are out of place and will not be able to empathize with them at all.

For example, Deng Chao and Sun Honglei are two typical examples.

Before they became regular guests on outdoor variety shows, most of the images they left in the audience's minds were character images. For example, Deng Chao's image was relatively positive, while Sun Honglei was a gang boss and did not seem like a good person.

As a result, they exposed their silly temperament and funny personalities in the variety show, which completely destroyed their screen image and even caused their acting career to be basically unsustainable.

After "Running Man" and "Go Fighting", no matter what TV series or movies they act in, the audience will only see "Lumberjack" Deng Chao and "Bull Terrier" Sun Honglei, and there is no way to identify with their screen characters.

At this point, the two of them have basically bid farewell to the film industry, and it is difficult for them to continue in the TV drama industry, so they can only become variety show stars.

This is why it is important for actors to maintain their own mystery.

But unfortunately, the current new generation of actors basically no longer pays attention to maintaining their mystery like the older generation of actors, and does not participate in public activities other than taking on acting jobs.

The new generation of idol actors born after 95 are basically under long-term public exposure. Even drinking a cup of coffee will be on the hot search list for two days.

"The era of old-school actors is about to pass." Wu Yuan, who was holding Liu Yifei, couldn't help but sigh: "This is no longer the era where actors are just actors."

"There are fewer and fewer actors like Yu Hewei."

"The new generation of actors, especially those born after 95, are all money-making tools promoted by capital. Their work energy is focused on consolidating fans and hyping traffic. Few young actors will focus on honing their acting skills. They are all thinking about how to become popular and how to make money." "To be precise, they can no longer be called young actors, but idol actors."

"In the past two years, the company has rarely signed new actors, especially those born after 95. It's really hard to pick out any good ones. Each one is more impetuous than the other."

In fact, it is not right to say that there are no outstanding young actors. Even in 2019, there are still a group of young actors in the circle who do not like hype, do not engage in marketing, and focus on acting.

For example, Zhu Yilong, although he came from a "wheat bran" background, he is indeed a professional actor. He never engages in marketing hype, and apart from acting, he rarely participates in variety shows for the sake of exposure or maintaining popularity.

Although Zhu Yilong became famous late, he was born in 88, not a post-90s actor, let alone a post-95s one. Moreover, he was signed by Guangying Times long ago in his life. He did not become famous with "Mai Fan", but entered the film and television industry with the role of "Changsheng" in "Soul Ferry: Huangquan".

Now, he has been working steadily and has become one of the few young actors in the company who can take root in the film industry. He is currently filming the company's new movie "Life Events".

The script of this movie was proposed by Wu Yuan. He wrote it and gave it to Li Xiaoping two years ago. However, because the company has always had its own production plans, the production was delayed until this year.

The director of this movie is Han Yan. In the original version, he was just a producer, but under the influence of the butterfly effect, he became the official director this time.

Originally, Han Yan was going to make his film "Send You a Little Red Flower", but was pulled by Li Xiaoping to shoot this film first.

If all goes well, the film should be released in mid-2019. Even the publicity plan has been prepared, which will make full use of Wu Yuan's reputation for "Departures". It will be promoted heavily with the gimmick that Wu Yuan is once again writing about burial themes after "Departures".

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan inexplicably sighed, "Unconsciously, the entertainment industry is about to be renewed again."

"I've always worked with veteran actors, so I don't have a deep feeling about it, but in fact, most of the active stars in the entertainment industry in recent years are those born in the 90s."

"People like Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Liu Ye have all been washed up on the beach by the back wave."

"Speaking of which, that top star Xiaolu dared to announce his relationship at the peak of his popularity. He is really courageous and a real Beijing man."

"But in the next few years, I'm afraid that these returning four boys, TF boys and other newcomers will be replaced by a newer generation of capital traffic stars."

"There are already some signs of success. Chen Xinxu from our company, Liu Haoran from Detective Chinatown, Wu Lei, a former child star, Ouyang Nana from Taiwan, and Yang Chaoyue from Produce Camp, which just finished airing two months ago, are all becoming more popular than the others."

Wu Yuan smacked his lips and couldn't stop sighing.

2018 is a year of demarcation. Starting from this year, the new model of capital talent shows led by 101 has exploded. In the film and television field, online dramas have officially surpassed TV dramas to become the mainstream of TV dramas. The field of Chinese TV dramas has officially entered the era of Goose, Cool, and Tao, and is dominated by Internet giants. Several major capitals have crazily supported new actors born after 95...

"In this new era, what should Light and Shadow Era do to maintain its leading position in the film industry?" Wu Yuan muttered to himself in the puzzled eyes of Liu Yifei. (End of this chapter)
