Chapter 113: The Joke Comes True
Lin Yuquan was also happy: "What's wrong with acting in comedy, Brother Zheng, you are the number one comedy TV drama actor in our mainland, and you are the guarantee of TV drama ratings, who dares to look down on you." ”
"How are the ratings of the TV series? It's just a mix of food, the acting skills of comedians are not called acting, and other expert judges don't recognize you at all, only Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, and Wang Zhiwen are called actors, and with my appearance, I can only bring laughter to people, unlike handsome guys like Tong Dawei, Lu Yi, and Liu Ye, who are sought after by countless fans, and their commercial value is leveraged. Xu Zheng laughed at himself, don't look at the dramas he starred in in the past few years, such as "Spring * Brilliant Pig Bajie", "Li Wei as an Official", "Love Through Time and Space" and other dramas have become popular all over the country, but his status in the entertainment industry is really not high, so he can barely be regarded as a second-tier or quasi-first-line actor.
Lin Yuquan certainly understands his feelings, the acting skills of comedians are indeed easy to be overlooked, and for the film festival, who wants to admit the acting skills of a comedic star.
Just like his favorite Chow Xingchi, he has repeatedly won the Hong Kong annual box office champion and broken box office records, but he has been rejected by the Hong Kong Film Awards again and again, and the only time he won the award at that time was back in 1988 when he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Academy Awards as a supporting actor, and the identity of the leading actor and director has never been recognized. It wasn't until 2002 that he finally received a compensatory reward after multiple failed shocks.
Yes, compensatorily, not because he thinks his acting skills are superb, just like the meaningful words of Cheung Man-yee, a senior official in the Hong Kong government, when she presented the trophy to Stephen Chow: "I am very happy to present this award to you, because you make many Hong Kong people laugh when they are unhappy." ”
In Lin Yuquan's view, it is really ironic, but his former good friend Liang Chaowei has won awards at the Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards before, and he who has worked with Liang Chaowei certainly knows Liang Chaowei's acting skills, but who dares to say that Zhou Xingchi's acting skills are not as good as him.
There are many similar examples, such as Jim Carrey and Will Smith of the Hollywood $20 million club have not been recognized by the Academy Awards so far, the difference is that Jim Carrey is said to have given up on this idea, and Will Smith is still unrelenting.
And as Xu Zheng said, in the entertainment industry, in addition to the absolute big-name stars, it is better to act well than to look good, with handsome and beautiful appearance, actors can immediately jump to the popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan after having a good appearance, while the series is liked, there will be countless people who derive this kind of liking to themselves, this is the fan, with many fans, they are naturally favored by businesses with good appearance, so there are countless advertising endorsements, and it is difficult for the comedic star, because the appearance of the comedic star is often not good, So what fans like is nothing more than the table in their play, and they feel that they can get laughter, so it's hard to talk about what fans are not fans.
Of course, this situation is not unbreakable, and there is a limit to everything.
Lin Yuquan showed a wild smile on his face: "Who said that comedians have no status and no fans, although due to the type of comedy, it may be easy to stereotype, and they are regarded as comedy stars by professional judges, and it is difficult to win awards, although they will not be able to win the attention and love of idol actors because of their own appearance, yes, at the starting line, comedians can't compare to other actors, but on the road of acting, it's not that you lose at the starting line and you don't have to chase, winning first is not winning, after enough works and enough time to accumulate, At this stage of Zhao Benshan and Zhou Xingchi, there are a few people in the entertainment industry who can be compared with them, after all, actors have to speak with their works, they will be old, their appearance can't withstand the destruction of time, trophies can only be placed in the window, only works will never betray you. ”
"That's right, actors speak with their works, as long as your works are good enough, others will naturally recognize you." Ning Hao nodded in agreement.
"I also know this truth, so I want to develop in movies, but there are too few domestic comedy genres, and I can't act in Director Feng's comedy, speaking of which, this is the first time I have starred in a movie in many years, and I don't know where the next movie is." Xu Zheng grinned.
"There will definitely be more comedy genre films in the future, not to mention anything else, Brother Hao is ready to concentrate on developing in this direction, and Brother Zheng, I have watched many of your TV series, in my opinion, you are definitely the best comedy actor in China, if you don't have a brokerage company, I still want to dig you into my brokerage company, my Yuquan family, when there are Brother Hao's movies, plus you and Huang Bo's comedy talent, maybe you can both become the king of comedy in the mainland!" Lin Yuquan is full of joy.
"Hehe, in fact, my brokerage contract has expired, if Director Lin has good conditions, I think it's no problem." Xu Zheng is serious even when he laughs.
"This is what you said, I take it seriously, Brother Hao, the arduous task of persuading Brother Zheng to sign with our company will be handed over to you now." Lin Yuquan patted Ning Hao's shoulder.
Ning Hao suddenly showed a depressed look, and smiled bitterly at Xu Zheng: "Old Xu, you have made me miserable now, it seems that you can't sign it." ”
"Sign it, I'm also in the Yuquan family now, and everyone will eat in a pot at that time." Huang Bo said with a smile, although he and Xu Zheng have not known each other for a long time, they are not burdened by fame, they are missing those who can't wipe their faces, they smell like each other, they chat happily, and they don't beat around the bush when they talk.
"Speaking of eating, don't say it, I'm really hungry, let's talk about it later, the waiter ordered!" Xu Zheng knew that he was about to bury himself by digging a pit, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Cut, I don't want to join, right, in fact, Director Lin just said it casually, do you think our Yuquan family is so easy to enter, my strength is so powerful, and it is also because I am also in the Kyoto Film Academy, you are one of the plays, let's take a break!" Huang Bo flattened his mouth and said unceremoniously.
"I didn't say I couldn't enter, but I always had time to think about it, and I had to think about it with the one in my family, Director Lin, I'm sure you don't mind waiting for me for a while!" Xu Zheng was not angry. said to Lin Yuquan with a smile.
"Do you think this is a wet market? After this village, there is no such shop! Director Lin has spoken, what are you still hesitating about, and you are afraid that Director Lin has wronged you, compared to me, you don't know how lucky you are. Huang Bo continued to press.
Lin Yuquan looked at it with a smile, talent! If it weren't for knowing about Huang Bo's situation from Ning Hao, it would really be hard for people to believe that he was the same person who was nervous and trembling in front of him some time ago.
"Yes, Xu Zheng, I can't envy it, if it weren't for my brokerage company, I would also like to enter Director Lin's brokerage company." Guo Tao said beside him, and a hint of envy flashed imperceptibly in his eyes as he spoke.
"You have to force me to a dead end, I recruited someone to provoke someone, I knew that I shouldn't have said that just now, I have to get it, I signed it, can't I sign it?" Xu Zheng said helplessly.
In fact, he is still in a very good mood in his heart, and he does not have any rejection of joining the Yuquan family.
As early as the beginning of the year, when the Yuquan family was first established, he was taken aback by the strong lineup of the Yuquan family, and when he was in the crew, Ning Hao would occasionally talk about Lin Yuquan and the situation of the Yuquan family when chatting with them, so he personally not only rejected but also liked the atmosphere of the Yuquan family. Of course, as a mature artist, emotion is one thing, and the development of the acting career is also crucial. In addition, I learned from Ning Hao that Lin Yuquan's large investment in film and television dramas, and knew that after becoming an artist of the Yuquan family, as long as the image is suitable, he can star in those scary film and television dramas with high investment in his opinion, which will lead to the situation of agreeing to join after being squeezed by everyone.
So far from the rise of Lin Yuquan, he agreed to join as simple, the previous foreshadowing is the most critical place.
Seeing the wonderful expression on Xu Zheng's face, everyone immediately chuckled.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng, I will ask Sister Chang, the general manager of the brokerage company, to personally go out and talk to you in detail, in fact, I didn't expect to sign you just casually, it seems that when I meet my favorite actor in the future, I have to talk about it, maybe I can catch one again." Lin Yuquan had a deep smile on his face.
"It's probably difficult, unlike me, others can control their own mouths." The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth curled, and then he shouted murderously outside: "The waiter serves the food." ”
After having lunch, everyone hurried to the Asia Television City at the foot of Xiangshan.
(ps: Bow and thank you for the support of the world's unequaled renewal ticket, but it's a pity that the choice is handicapped, it's really unblessed!) ”
