演藝圈的一線明星從來不缺關(guān)注,他們擁有眾多粉絲,他們的一舉一動(dòng)都被媒體追蹤報(bào)道。不過,在他們的星光背后還有一群不太被人關(guān)注的明星,他們可能要費(fèi)盡周折才能贏得一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)曝光率。如果一線明星是A-list celebrity的話,那么這些不被關(guān)注的明星就是Z-list celebrity。
A Z-list celebrity typically has no national following whatsoever. Usually, these are the entertainers who have achieved local fame, or have only starred in one thing in their acting career. They consider themselves to be a celebrity when they really aren't, they are the stereotypical "one hit wonder". They would get everywhere on TV or make some controversial remarks on other celebrities publicly in order to get noticed.
末流明星(Z-list celebrity)一般沒有全國性的知名度,他們通常只是在當(dāng)?shù)赜悬c(diǎn)名氣的藝人,或是整個(gè)演藝生涯只出演過一部作品。他們自認(rèn)為是名人,但其實(shí)并不是,他們是典型的“曇花一現(xiàn)”。為了贏得關(guān)注,他們會(huì)參加各種電視節(jié)目或者針對(duì)其他名人公開發(fā)表一些有爭議的言論。
