It can be exciting to meet celebrities, but it is important that you keep these things in mind as well. Don't criticize them or approach their children. Second, never ask for permission to take pictures or sign autographs. Try to be polite and not ask too many questions. This article will help to avoid these common pitfalls. These tips will help you to be a better celebrity-fan.
Don't criticize them
When you meet a famous person, the last thing you want to do is criticize them. Even if they're well-known, it is important for them to understand that you aren’t perfect. If they didn't, their egos might be crushed and they would think that they're better than everyone else. Even the most prominent people are not immune to criticism. There are many ways to not criticize celebrities, but it is better to stay away.
Do not ask for their autographs
You may have a celebrity crush but are too shy to ask for their autograph. Although celebrities may seem friendly and warm, it is important to act like a normal person. It's not common for younger generations to ask celebrities for photos or autographs. Respect their time. If you can't resist the urge to ask a celebrity for their autograph, consider asking a friend.
You don't have to ask for a picture
Some celebrities will allow fans to take their picture, while others may not be interested in it. Bill Murray might not be happy to pose for photos, or make funny faces if you ask him. Asking permission beforehand is a good way to avoid being kicked out. This holds true for even cosplayers. Ask permission before you start taking pictures.
Photos should be used only with permission
When taking photos of celebrities, a common error is not asking permission. Celebrities and politicians love to be photographed but ordinary people don't like their picture being taken. And worse, millions have smartphones that come with a camera. Even if you think the photo is acceptable, you could be violating someone's copyright. Therefore, you should always obtain permission before taking pictures.
FAQ
How much does Hollywood make a year?
The average movie costs around $100 million to produce. So if you made ten movies a year for a decade, you'd have enough money to buy a small country.
You would own your own island, with an airport, a power plant, a bank, a post office, a police force, a fire department, a school system, a hospital, a zoo, a sports stadium, a theater, and a cinema.
If that doesn't sound like fun, then you must be insane.
Can I start my own distribution company?
No. Without being a distributor, you cannot legally establish a distribution company.
Even though you may not be distributing other people's films, you still have to follow certain rules.
You cannot, for instance, charge different prices at different theaters. Additionally, fees cannot be charged to different customers.
It is also against the law to sell your services or products to other companies.
Why isn't there more crowdfunding sites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter for filmmakers?
Crowdfunding sites are great because they allow you to reach out directly to potential investors.
But most filmmakers don't think they're qualified to ask for money. They feel that they need someone else to vouch for them.
Since they haven’t proved themselves yet, they don’t think anyone should make an investment in them.
Instead, they spend long hours working on their project, in hopes of someone noticing.
They realized that they hadn't prepared properly when they launched their campaign.
Instead of receiving thousands of dollars, they receive a few donations.
Statistics

- In 2019, that percentage increased to 40 percent. (en.wikipedia.org)
- If we translate this to a percentage, we get 28%, so let's be generous and say that ‘Hollywood studios' release about ⅓ of the movies released in the U.S. and Canada each year. (glitteratilobotomy.com)
