Straightest Path to SUCCESS
Rafi Hossain
The
difference that lies between the world of television and cinema has
been present for as long as one can remember. For one thing, audiences
want actors in movies to seem larger than life whereas actors in
television programs should seem more approachable, more relatable to
real life. So naturally when the faces that we see daily in television
try their luck in films, they have their work cut out for them. It's not
very easy to achieve stardom in cinema when your audience is too used
to your work in television. Many would believe that the reverse must
also be true but unfortunately, that's not the case. When someone who's
successful or seasoned in the cinema industry tries their luck at
television, they usually meet less resistance towards success. And those
who try to balance both worlds
don’t
usually find success in either field. For those new to the industry
still planning on which field they should invest themselves in, my
advice is to pick the field you wish to make your mark in and invest all
your time, effort and dedication in it. There also needs to be a time
period for this investment as well, particularly in the cinema industry.
You cannot make one film and expect that to be a hit or give up if it
isn't. It's a rare occurrence to be in a debut film that turns into a
hit. The proper investment time for a film career needs to be at least
10 films in my opinion. When all of these efforts are consecutive flops,
then you have your answer. Focus is the key word here and this goes out
to all those coming into the industry; do what you want to but make
sure you are focused in it and success will surely
follow.
