industry has spread from upstream to downstream. In addition to low operating rates and bankruptcies of small and medium-sized film and television companies, stars and actors are also facing a serious unemployment crisis.
Ever since Yang Rong, Wang Yuanke, and Lan Xi confided in "I Am an Actor" that "30+" actresses were not filming, the topic of middle-aged actresses has continued to ferment. Hai Qing, Yao Chen, Liang Jing, etc. are in the First Film Festival Speaking for middle-aged actresses, saying that they switched to filmmakers just to save the country, because they had to pay for filming because they had no filming.
Tencent Video also specially produced the micro variety show "Women 30+", focusing on the employment pressure and difficulties faced by middle-aged actresses over 30 years old, such as Qin Lan, Liu Tao, Xie Na, Wu Jinyan, and Cecilia Cheung.
actors are a "youth meal". Most of the heroes and heroines in the film and television works are in their early twenties. Once an actress reaches the age of 30, she will be embarrassed of not picking up.
In the cold winter of film and television, not only middle-aged actresses are facing a crisis, but even male actors and even child stars are facing such a dilemma. Yu Xiaotong was outspoken in "The Actor, Please Take Your Place", saying that it is difficult to receive the drama since Jia Baoyu. He also participated in the casting of Chen Kaige's movie "Orphan of Zhao", but because of his "old age" Was sifted down.
Compared with ordinary professions, the employment of actors is under the pressure of "more wolves and less meat". The high unemployment rate and the fact that half of the actors are unable to receive plays have become a common phenomenon in the current actor industry, and many actors have even chosen Change career.
is only one step away from the peak to unemployment.
has starred in many well-known film and television works such as "Fire as a Song" and "Beautiful Li Huizhen". There has been no new work for a year; Yuan Hongzai, who has been off for a year In the reality show "Man Doing Housework", he discussed with his wife Zhang Xinyi to take over the script of the male No. 3; Fan Bingbing will not be able to return to the film world after the "yin and yang contract" has subsided. Currently, he can only work with Internet celebrities to live broadcast the goods; Li Chen, who has limited resources, was also implicated, and no work came out for more than a year.
is only one step away from the peak to unemployment. The profession of actor changes every day.
can be seen from the cast list that participated in the recording of "Actors, please take their place", which includes not only new debut but limited resources, but also outdated idols who have been unemployed for more than 10 years. The profession of
is a cruel actor. At its peak, it was sought after. Producers, investors, directors, and screenwriters rushed to cooperate, but once the edge faded, everyone would not remember themselves and was gradually forgotten by the audience. Huang Xiaoming once said that now he has to take the initiative to find a film, and even act in some "not necessarily male number one."
Ming Dao said very sincerely in "The Actors Please Take Place" that he may not be able to play the male number one again. From the host to the actor, Ming Dao has appeared in almost every drama that is very popular with audiences on both sides of the strait. "The Prince Turns into a Frog", "Heaven's Wedding Dress", and "Star Apple Paradise" are Taiwan idol dramas that accompany childhood growth. Ming Dao is also known as the "Prince of Taiwanese Idol Drama" there. Later, he came to the mainland to develop and starred in many film and television dramas, but this year, Ming Dao did not receive any invitations.
"Passed" is a fact that he has to admit and accept, not only Ming Dao, but Zhong Xintong, who made his debut with Twins and starred in many film and television dramas around 2010, also came to the "Actors Please Take Your Place" For the recording scene, she is a senior who has more qualifications and experience than those young actors in her early twenties, but now she also has to compete with them on the same stage, the purpose is to let more directors know her.
Debuting early does not mean that he has more advantages than others. Many actors are also facing the dilemma of "debut and unemployment". Yu Xiaotong has not received any drama since "Jia Baoyu" for four years, and now there are very few After receiving the actor's play, the audience knew that he was still through Li Shaohong's version of "Dream of Red Mansions". And he also said on the show: "Isn't it difficult these days? I have less work and I want to come and learn."
was selected by director Chen Kaige to play the role of "Zhao Gu" in "Orphan Zhao" Zhao Wenhao also participated. The show competed with Yu Xiaotong. Although he won everyone in the casting of "Orphans of Zhao", his star journey did not go smoothly. A high starting point and early debut does not mean that he is more fortunate and embarrassed than others. His age and image will still be an obstacle to his career.
is defined and misunderstood, which is indisputable for actors, as Shen Mengchen said,Directors heard that Shen Mengchen would think she was a show host and could not act, but in fact, Shen Mengchen graduated from the acting department and she has been an actor since she was in college. There are other actors in
because a certain role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and it is difficult for directors to see his versatility. Chen Hyuk is still "Zeng Xiaoxian". He can only make money in variety shows because he has no drama to film, "Love Apartment" Deng Jiajia of China has already made hot pot restaurant his main business.
The actors who have successfully debuted are still facing unemployment pressure, so it is even more difficult for students who are studying acting majors or trainees from performance companies who are about to debut.
Not only that, the freezing of capital in the cold winter of film and television and the heavy pressure of policies have made it difficult to broadcast many dramas even though they were successfully filmed. Chen Kaige gave Mao Xiaohui a "pass" for his acting skills to be improved in "The Actors Please Get In", but it originated from " None of the dramas she has ever filmed has the "same emotion" of "broadcast."
Li Bingbing also spoke for his apprentice Meng Meiqi as a "comer" in "I Am the Actor: The Peak Showdown". As a qualified actor, young people should be given more support and encouragement. The actor industry can last forever. Continuously inject vitality.
The cold winter film and television actors have been downgraded collectively.
probably started last year. There is a very obvious and interesting phenomenon in the film and television industry, that is, many film actors have begun to emerge in the field of TV dramas. This aspect has improved the quality of TV drama actors, on the other hand, It has been questioned by people in the industry.
After all, movies and TV series are two different fields of artistic expression created by two production processes and production methods. In terms of performance, the actors and performance styles of movies and TV series are also different.
Judging from the several representative works that have been broadcast so far, "Ruyi's Legend", "Tiansheng Long Song", and "Chen Xi Yuan" are all works with high reputation but generally popular, which also indirectly shows that, The joining of film actors can bring a high reputation for the production quality of TV series, but their shaping of characters can hardly satisfy the aesthetic demands of TV series audiences.
However, in the recent period of time, it has become more common for film actors to join TV series. Before that, there were Ni Ni's "Chen Xi Yuan" and "Tiansheng Long Song", and later Zhou Xun's "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". Zhang Ziyi, who started acting in movies, also starred in the TV series "Di Huangye", and Tang Wei also starred in the TV series "Daming Fenghua". This phenomenon shows that the movie market has shrinking remuneration and low operating rate, while the TV drama market is temporarily stable and high.
Before the release of the pay restriction order, Zhang Ziyi had personally admitted that he could get more than 100 million yuan in pay for filming TV series. Yes, there are many TV series, long filming cycle, easy shooting and high pay, of course it will become the first choice of actors.
Because film actors "entered" TV series, TV series actors who had played the leading role in TV series were "threatened." Many actors who often played TV series protagonists had to consider acting as supporting roles because they could not receive suitable plays. Actors playing supporting roles have become smaller roles or even draconies, and some actors have long lived in variety shows by virtue of traffic.
For example, Angelababy (Yang Ying) had no filming after giving birth. In addition to returning to "Running Brother", she also participated in the reality show "Adventure in Life", but there was no news about her taking a new film; Di Lieba also complained that she had no drama to film for a long time in the variety show, and played the role of the "men's group promoter" in "Creation Camp 2019"; Yang Mi also participated in "China's Got Talent Show" and "Tomorrow's Son". Compared with a few years ago, the number of works by Yang Mi in the past two years has been drastically reduced.
In the cold winter of capital, the unemployment of actors is particularly serious. The remunerations and positions of actors are facing general demotion. Everyone is looking for a way out in the cold winter. At the time of the variety show blowout, variety shows became the last haven for actors. The reason why performance shows can gather so many celebrities and fresh meat, as well as well-known directors and screenwriters in the industry, this also shows in disguise that "everyone has no jobs. "The truth about the industry.
Li Bingbing, Zhang Guoli, Ma Sichun, Guo Tao, Qin Hao, Tong Dawei and other actors have come to record "I Am the Actor's Pinnacle Showdown", not only to remove the star halo and industry status, but also to bring apprentices to compete with each other, their performance and achievements must be taken Judging under the noses of the audience, directors and producers, even Jiang Sida can comment on Tong Dawei's acting skills.
z6Although the cruelty of the 9zcompetition, the mutual tearing and discussion between the director and the actors and actresses, the audience should not covet the superficial "show", but should think about the changes implied by the competition system and the changes in the entire industry.
Performing variety show actress recruitment site
Before the actors actually get the role, they always need to go through a "trial show" process. There will always be many rooms on the door of the Piao Home and Sunshine Hotel on Dawang Road in Beijing. Post the news of the preparatory group news, this is the place where the actors usually try out.
Compared with previous years, the occupied rooms of these two "trial spots" have been greatly reduced, and there are not many places where actors can choose to "run the group", and some crews even omitted the trouble of "trying" in interviews , Directly let the actor send a clip to try out. Shen Mengchen said that his cafe seldom saw the director, and was often asked to send a clip of a trial show, and then he fell to nothing.
Under the pressure of such an industry, many performance-type variety shows are coming one after another. These variety shows are often defined as "training-type" or "casting-type" reality shows, especially "Actors please take their place" It is like a large-scale actor recruitment scene. The actors and actresses of
said in interviews with the show that most of their goals are to get more directors to know and to learn from the teachers. Everyone knows that learning is secondary, and getting more people to know is their main purpose.
As early as in "I'm an Actor", "casting" has become a "gimmick". Although actors compete on stage, actors with outstanding acting skills can gain the recognition of producers and directors through this platform , Is an excellent way to "sell yourself" and "attract resources". Zhou Yiwei has a wonderful acting in "I Am an Actor". His acting was recognized by Zhang Ziyi, and he also got the opportunity to co-star with Zhang Ziyi in "Di Huangye". This is especially true of
"Actors please take their place". Actors who are promoted can directly enter the crew of the next play. The "trials" of the actors are all the previous works of the four directors. The comparison between the old and new works is more visible Show the spirituality and strength of the actors.
If "I'm an Actor" and "Actors Please Take Place" are the stage for "old" actors to prove themselves again, then "The Character of an Actor" is an opportunity for newcomers to debut. Through the training and assessment of trainees under various brokerage companies, those who finally stand out can also warm up for their debut, and allow tutors and directors to recognize and understand themselves, and at the same time, they can quickly get help from the tutors. Grow and learn.
These performance variety shows have never lacked participants. Especially in the cold winter of film and television, actors with "free time" can't wait to participate in such shows. Regardless of success or failure, they can only show their best side. On the stage, she will gain exposure and popularity. Even if she fails on such a stage, as long as her acting skills are recognized, other directors and crews will be able to recognize and understand them.
In the embarrassing period of no action to film, performance variety shows undoubtedly saved those low-profile young actors, and in addition to these reality shows, becoming an internet celebrity and making bad movies has also become a “transition” approach for actors. , The economic pressure has caused the entire industry to face a "downhill" crisis.
In fact, a fair trial is not a bad thing. The cold winter of capital has brought the entire film and television market back to rationality, and the bubble has ceased. In creation and production, "content is king" has become the criterion for judging the quality of film and television works. For actors, appearance is no longer the only criterion for casting. Directors and producers pay more attention to re-acting skills. It is difficult for traffic and idols to stand firm all the time. Only by calming yourself, honing your acting skills, and coexisting appearance and "acting value" can you survive the cold winter and go further and further on the road of actors.
