The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1542 - 1533: Untitled (Part 7)
Although many directors now also act, or some actors end up becoming directors and then star in their own films. This way, they have the most control and can better showcase their own thoughts—if they have any. Even if they don’t want to express any thoughts, making money is also good; ideally, the producer is also one of their own, and they earn the most when the director, actor, and producer are all from the same family.
However, this kind of director also has limitations. After all, wanting to be both a good director and a good actor while trying to convey their own thoughts isn’t impossible, but talent has its limits. Just like himself, it’s not just that he’s getting older and lacks energy, his creativity isn’t as good as it was when he was younger.
A director who relies on talent to make a living, once devoid of talent, narrating stories through mediocre means, will find that many viewers won’t buy it.
Moreover, such directors can easily be typecast. A comedy director makes comedies; it’s very hard for a comedy director to make a drama.
He didn’t know what Bo Yan was thinking, whether he would continue to pursue directing or remain an actor. However, with his talent and ability, he won’t be bad at whichever field he chooses. But if he wants to become a great director, he either needs to be extremely talented, emerging out of nowhere like an actor, making audiences marvel at his talent. After all, directors don’t rely on good looks, they depend on control and talent.
"Both, I guess. But mainly acting." When he has something he wants to express, he’ll direct. When he doesn’t have inspiration, taking on acting roles as an actor isn’t bad either.
"So young after all." Wang Ju sighed. Bo Yan is in his early thirties, just the best age for male actors. Although he’s just shed his youthful aura, as long as he doesn’t indulge in excess, there’s still an eagerness to try, a naivety. Grow a beard, deepen the eyes a bit, and he can also appear profound.
This age is quite a hurdle for female actors, but not for male actors, especially for directors, it’s just the beginning, with endless possibilities in the future. Bo Yan’s acting career has reached the top in China; now is the time for collecting domestic awards and aiming for international recognition. He has money and status, and a Bo Family to rely on. He doesn’t need to seek help from capital or depend on a company, he can do whatever he wants.
However, Wang Ju’s question still sparked a heated discussion on the spot. Like Li Yiru, who most wanted to film with him: "Me? I don’t have any big desires, I just want to be famous!"
A supporting actor next to her chuckled, "Aren’t you famous?"
Li Yiru smiled, looked around at the big names in the room, and shook her head, "Of course not." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
She now lives comfortably, with even a child. Although Bo Qiliu doesn’t promote her, there’s never been a shortage of money. Her life is more affluent than it was beside Li Weiyi’s father. But no matter how good, she’s not officially married, so she has to live by their favor. She just wants to be famous, as famous as Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei, even if it’s notorious fame.
Not being famous means you won’t be prioritized for the role you want; sometimes you won’t even get a supporting role. Your endorsements will be easily replaced, when you attend shows, others sit in the front row, while you’re in the corner. Others go on stage to accept awards, while you’re clapping from the audience.
No matter how much Xia Siyu rises and falls, she has always been at the top, hasn’t she? Even coming out to eat ice cream, Xia Siyu would be followed by paparazzi.
She just wants to be famous, like Xia Siyu and Shang Feifei, standing on the frontline.
