赵强, have you noticed that in recent years it seems harder and harder for ordinary people to make it in showbiz?

Yeah. When you look at newcomers now, they’re either second-generation stars or second-generation rich. Their starting lines are totally different.

In the past, there were talent shows like "Super Girl" and "The Voice of China"—regular people could turn things around with real ability.

But now talent shows have been suspended, the path is gone, and people with connections take the resources. It’s even tougher for ordinary folks.

And quite a few rich kids just bring money into a production. Their acting is so-so, but opportunities keep coming.

Fans also add fuel to the fire—comparing family backgrounds. It’s basically a bit of “snobbish worship of wealth.”

The saddest part is those Hengdian drifters—extras who hang around Hengdian. Low income, swallowing their grievances—nothing like the dream.

So even though showbiz looks glamorous, it’s really a game for a small group. Ordinary people have to stay clear-eyed.
