Why singers become actors; More fame or higher income?

Fars News Agency – Art Group: Singing is associated with fame, but it is not comparable to the fame of acting in cinema and television. Over the years, there have always been actors who have become singers and vice versa. The boom in home theater network serials has also intensified this atmosphere. Now we are faced with singers who do not have much so-called “act” but for various reasons appear in front of the camera and make win-win deals for themselves and the creators of movies and series. Singers who increase their fame and income, and producers who create new audiences – other than movie and series audiences – to make more money from their work.

Among the actors who have released the official album, we can name Bahram Radan, Ashkan Khatibi, Mohammad Reza Hedayati, Kamran Tafti and Hamed Behdad, who, of course, did not find much place among serious music audiences. Some, such as Mehran Modiri, Hamid Goodarzi, Amin Hayaei, Amiril Arjmand and Zande Yad Fath Ali Oveisi, released singles.

On the other hand, there are singers who have become actors, and ironically, the scales are heavy in their favor. Benjamin Bahadori, Reza Sadeghi, Kaveh Afagh, Reza Yazdani, Hooman Shahi (Gamno), Hamid Asgari and Maziar Fallahi have tasted the presence in front of the camera. But the most successful of them can be considered Farzad Farzin. The number of movies and series he has played is now equal to the number of official albums he has released.

* The oldest

Reza Yazdani, who is now 48 years old, started singing in 2001 and because of his own style, he soon became famous. He has acted in the movies “Smell of Wheat”, “Takeoff” and “Pig” and has acted in more than 10 series, the most famous of which is “Forgotten”, which is one of the weakest TV series.

He himself said that after appearing in Ehsan Abdipour’s “Take-Off”, he took acting seriously and now he has played a role in the series of the home theater network “Red Square”. In this series, which has faced many negative reactions due to the three-time change of director and extreme weakness, he has appeared with Grim Gangster in the role of a criminal named Grochev.

Farzad Farzin, 40, officially started singing at the age of 23 with the release of the album “Sharareh”. He went on to release “Shock, Chance, Shoot, Personal, 6 and Champs Elysees”. The singer also has two unofficial albums, “Chase” and “Threat”.

Farzin went in front of the camera very soon, just when he had only one official album and one unofficial album. He starred in the movie “Brick Boys” with Pouria Poursorkh and Tirdad Kiai; The film sold more than 257,000 tickets at the box office and was ranked 16th best-selling film of 2007.

He then starred in the movies “Concert on the Water” and “Dusty Dogs” until in the 90’s, he became doubly famous by appearing on the home network and playing two roles (himself and Touraj Chalabiani). He was supposed to star in the next season of the series – “Giso” – which, of course, did not reach an agreement with the producer and director, and the reason was the fear of repeating his role in the series “Mannequin”. Farzin played the role of Bahram Meybodi in the series Mannequin (2016).

The following year, he co-starred with Ahmad Mehranfar in the movie “Two-Person Song”; A film that did not make it to the Fajr Film Festival. Farzin then played the role of a friend of Loti in the series “Mannequin” and the following year, in 1399, in the series of the home theater network “Queen of Beggars”, he played the role of “Parsa Parsa / Barsam Afzali” in the role of a badman, which was appreciated by the audience. And it can be said that he has shown the best game among his singers so far.

* newest

Zanyar Khosravi is one of the singers who has not been able to have a well-established position in the field of music or acting. He soon became famous for his unique style of singing (pop, rap, hip-hop and fusion), but did not make much progress. Although Zanyar Khosravi appeared in the first production of Peyman Maadi “Snow on the Pines” more than a decade ago, he did not get much opportunity to act. His first series (Love is not closed) remained semi-functional in 2014 and now he is present in the series of “Professional” home network with his older brother “Sirvan Khosravi”. A series that has not met with success and the play of the Khosravi brothers does not appeal to the heart.

Sirvan Khosravi, who has a 16-year background in composing and singing, has gained extensive experience in acting in “Professional” this year. He has appeared in the role of Siamak, a violent criminal. However, his soulless face and his attempt to be serious could not have the desired appeal for the audience. Khosravi has previously had a brief appearance in Nikki Karimi’s “End Whistle”.

Not only the singers but also the “bands” have joined the cast; “Arash Adlparvar” from Arash and Masih and Amir Maqareh from “Makan Band”.

Younger brother Arash, 31, gained his first cinematic experience last year in Mohammad Amin Karimpour’s first film. The film, called “Appeal Ruling”, was widely criticized for its director’s yellow background and Instagram, and was not accepted at the Fajr Film Festival.

“Appeal Ruling” has been released in the country’s cinemas since Wednesday, November 17th, and has sold 130 million Tomans to date. Arash Adlparvar also sang 2 songs in this film called “Mom” and “Hello my dear”, which are weaker than their previous songs. It has been heard that the series “Guardiola’s father” directed by Saeed Nematollah and produced by Javad Norouzebeigi, بعدی Arash Adlparvar’s next destination is for acting.

The “Appeal Rule” is trying to sell more, and in this regard, on the night of November 21, a special screening was held in the presence of the Justice Brothers at the Kourosh Cinema Campus, which was marginalized due to overcrowding. Masih Adlparvar wrote in this regard: “I considered it my duty to say that the situation really got out of control from somewhere else and I was very worried about the loved ones who were on the side of glass and floors, for this reason and to maintain your safety and health, I shook hands »

Ali Sartipi, the owner of Kourosh Campus, apologized for this incident and of course said: I think it was a war between two music groups who want to say in cyberspace that our fans are more and by doing so, they have created a poisonous atmosphere.

I mean a brigade of two music groups, Arash and Masih and Makanband, who happened to be on the same campus of Kourosh two weeks ago to show the series “Island”.

In the series Island, directed by Sirus Moghadam, Amir Moghareh has experienced his first role-playing, which is acceptable compared to the obvious weaknesses of the series. Maqareh was born in 1995 and is a member of “Makanband” who was a motor courier in his father’s kitchen before entering the field of music.

* The game continues

With the way the home theater network series have adopted, we have to wait for other singers to enter the field of acting. Because it is a win-win deal for the producer of the series and the singer-songwriter.
