Zhang Fengyi, an old drama bone, recently played the role of the general Xu Da in the hit drama "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", which was appreciated and criticized by many audiences. Some people praise his performance as a general with a natural domineering spirit, while others think that his performance is too exaggerated, straightforward, and hard, no matter what role he plays, he is the same.
Zhang Fengyi has rich acting experience, has acted in many film and television dramas, and has also played many roles. However, he missed an opportunity that made him regret it for the rest of his life, and that was the role of Yongzheng in "Yongzheng Dynasty". This drama is considered the pinnacle of historical drama and is highly regarded. Here, we might as well talk about the remuneration of the actors.
Many people think that the salary of actors is ridiculously high, and the salary of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars for a drama is questioned. However, for actors, remuneration is not the first option, the first option is a good script, good characters, and characters with characteristics and attractiveness. Whether it is an old actor who has been famous for many years or a young actor, good works and good roles are the most important.
This is the consensus of the actors. Before Zhang Hanyu starred in "The Assembly", most of the roles were small supporting roles, but a "Assembly" allowed him to establish his status as a first-line star in one fell swoop. Therefore, a good work and a good role are the first choice of actors, not their salary. For missing the role of "Yongzheng", Zhang Fengyi expressed deep remorse.
At that time, when director Hu Mei was preparing to shoot "Yongzheng Dynasty", he planned to let Zhang Fengyi play the role of Yongzheng, and he had already taken a customized photo and tried the play.
However, in the end, Tang Guoqiang played this role, and Zhang Fengyi starred in "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", which made him miss a historical drama that became a classic. However, according to the experience of watching the drama, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is thanks to not letting Zhang Fengyi act, so he will play it badly.
His acting skills are too straight and hard in this play, with no layering and lack depth. Therefore, he may not be suitable for this complex role. Just like Zhang Fengyi missed the role of "Yongzheng", Tang Guoqiang also had an experience of miscalculation.
When preparing for the filming of "Bright Sword", the investor wanted him to play the role of Li Yunlong, but due to salary and other reasons, he finally refused. and another actor, Li Youbin, took over the role, which made "Bright Sword" a screen myth and won high praise from the audience. As soon as this drama was broadcast, it immediately became a military classic in the hearts of the audience.
This miscalculation may make Tang Guoqiang regret that there are not many good dramas like "Bright Sword" in an actor's life. In the entertainment industry, actors' choices and decisions often have a profound impact on their careers. Different roles and works can change the fate of an actor.
Therefore, whether it is an old actor or a new generation of actors, their choices and opportunities are constantly shaping their acting careers. The level of salary is not the most important thing for them, good works and good roles are the final choice.
