Pregunta: Should the director pay a lot of money to famous actors?

Análisis

When answering this question, you can discuss both sides. On one hand, hiring famous actors can attract more audience, increase box office revenue, and enhance the film’s reputation, so directors may be willing to pay high salaries. On the other hand, paying too much to famous actors might increase production costs and reduce the budget for other important aspects, such as special effects, scriptwriting, or supporting actors. You can also mention that sometimes talented but lesser-known actors can deliver excellent performances at a lower cost. It’s important to balance the budget and consider the overall quality of the film.
