"In the Octagonal Cage", directed and acted by Wang Baoqiang, has already exceeded 1.5 billion box office in 12 days of its release, and it is predicted that it will exceed 2 billion. Undoubtedly, Wang Baoqiang has become the big winner of this summer file. Wang Baoqiang spent 6 years making this film, and finally earned the box office with his sincerity. Although there is still room for improvement as a director, it is already a far cry from his "Havoc in Tianzhu" 6 years ago. In "In the Octagonal Cage", there is a very short scene that many viewers overlooked, but those who watched it carefully thought it was amazing. Xiang Tenghui, played by Wang Baoqiang, ran to the doll's house to ask for debts. When he entered the door, a man who tidied his clothes ran out. Entering the house, the girl who was half lying on the bed said that the man who just left was here to deliver taro. Xiang Tenghui understood the real purpose of the taro man coming here. The ragged girl took a sip of water and said: I will try to pay you back the money, don't make things difficult for the child. Then secretly looked at Wang Baoqiang, as if thinking about the man in front of him. Then she pulled the quilt and lay down on the dilapidated bed, as if waiting for Xiang Tenghui to come up. Obviously, she also regarded Xiang Tenghui as the kind of man who "gives taro". In the end, Xiang Tenghui, who was collecting debts, became a person who "sends warmth". Instead of embarrassing the girl who was paralyzed in bed, he took out some money, threw it on the window sill and ran away. In this scene, as an actor, Wang Baoqiang acted very well. As a director, Wang Baoqiang is very subtle in his filming. This scene is handed over to other directors to shoot, and it is likely to be turned into a "explicit" scene to attract attention. But Wang Baoqiang's tweaked and subtle technique achieved a more satisfactory result than expected. Nothing was revealed, but everything was revealed. Nothing was said, but the audience understood it in their hearts. Wang Baoqiang's shyness and obscurity are actually a kind of respect for women at the bottom, keeping the last dignity of the poor. This is not only worth learning from directors in the film and television industry, but also slaps those domestic dramas and "fake poor people" in the face. , such as "stinky" to the "Gentlemen of the East Eighth District" which was taken off the shelves. Producer and starring Zhang Han, not only played a lot of tricks in the play, but also used close-up shots to show the scene of himself buckling the heroine's chest belt. The play is full of vulgar tastes, and there are many speechless lines, which eventually aroused the disgust of the audience and was kicked off the screen. Domestic dramas with a bit of suspense and horror atmosphere are the hardest-hit areas of "cutting the edge". totally unnecessary bathing shots are all over the place. In "Horror Swimming Pool", the actress insisted on filming the whole show in a swimsuit. The director's mind was like Sima Zhao's. Some "Internet University" and online dramas are not so much filming as they are objectifying women. If they don't dress coolly and the camera doesn't have a little color, it seems that they won't be able to film. This kind of trend quickly spread from suspense and horror movies, and action movies and war movies played this way, which is even better than blue. The actress in "Arms Robbery" insisted on wearing a figure-defining deep V skirt to catch bad guys. The female special police officer in "I am a female special police officer" is wearing a cheongsam with slits and sprints all over the screen. Relying on these things, the director wants to sell well at the box office and become famous in the circle. Does he think the audience's IQ is too low? film and television dramas need stories and acting skills, not just showing the actress' figure. On the other hand, "In the Octagonal Cage" shows the poor life at a glance. On the other hand, many film and television works today can no longer accommodate "poor people". The protagonists live in big houses in bright clothes and play "fake poor" to fool the audience. Aren't directors and actors ashamed? In the modern drama "All Wishes Come True" starring Mao Xiaotong, it is not easy to show young people, earning less money and doing more work. Then they came up with an outrageous plot of "squeezing the bus to and from get off work to save money, and living in a courtyard house on the second ring road in Beijing". The courtyard house on the second ring road is worth tens of millions at least. The two "poor sisters" in the play have exquisite skin care, and one is prettier than the other in makeup and makeup. It is far from the big picture to come to play "poor" like this. In "Everybody Knows I Love You" starring Song Qian, the heroine is a hard-working migrant worker who is so poor that she can only eat instant noodles every day. After meeting the male protagonist, the female protagonist said that her life was messed up, and the male protagonist complained that "the place where I live is too low". As a result, when the camera turned, the worker's house was ridiculously large.The hostess bedroom has a full sense of atmosphere, full of the taste of money, where is the chicken feather? If calls this "poor", then I am really envious. does not mean that all filming should look like "In the Octagonal Cage", but the state presented in many film and television dramas nowadays has nothing to do with the word "poor". Why is this happening in today's film and television dramas? The main reason is that many actors and directors are too impetuous and insincere. At least in terms of sincerity, many directors and actors nowadays are no match for Wang Baoqiang. Don't mention the short but shocking scenes depicting poverty in "In the Octagonal Cage", Wang Baoqiang, who was born in the countryside, whether he is a man or an actor, sincerity has always been his background. Six years ago, "Havoc in Tianzhu" won the "Golden Broom Award". Wang Baoqiang was the only director who dared to accept the award. On the stage, he looked at the clips of the movie he directed on the big screen, and listened to the laughter of the audience below, and he could empathize with what was going on in his heart without even guessing. But when he was speaking, Wang Baoqiang still squeezed out a smile and said: "Knowing that this award is disgraceful, I will correct my mistakes and give the audience a good movie." Cheng Qingsong, the founder of the "Golden Broom Award", said that now Wang Baoqiang can return the "Golden Broom". If it is inconvenient, Cheng Qingsong said that he will come to pick it up. Wang Baoqiang responded: Actually, this award has been spurring me. This is a shameful thing in the industry, but now Wang Bao insists that it has become an inspirational story, relying on sincerity. In fact, "In the Octagonal Cage" was able to be released as scheduled, and it was Wang Baoqiang's sincerity in exchange for it. The film investors who had originally agreed to make a good film suddenly changed their minds when the project was officially approved. They felt that "In the Octagonal Cage" had no commercial value, and thought that there would be a market for Wang Baoqiang if he didn't make comedies. Until a film platform extended a helping hand to Wang Baoqiang, at least the film would be guaranteed to be distributed. Only then did Wang Baoqiang pull himself together, move out his family property and cast it in the movie. As a result, the film was finished, but there was no money for post-production. It was Chen Sicheng, his friend for many years, who made a promise: "Leave it to me later, and you don't care about the money." Even if Chen Sicheng's movie "The Missing She" and "In the Octagonal Cage" collided, he also took the time to run out to promote Wang Baoqiang's platform. Chen Sicheng knew Wang Baoqiang too well. Who wouldn't like a person whose family property was emptied by his wife and his agent, who was in trouble after a lot of chicken feathers, but paid taxes with borrowed millions? The announcement period of "In the Octagonal Cage" has witnessed Wang Baoqiang's popularity in the circle. Wang Xun, Xiao Yang, Liu Ye, and Li Meng came to play cameos, but Li Chen played a role in the film without notifying his agent. Andy Lau sang "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" for him again, and Liu Ruoying and Wang Baoqiang sang "Dear Child" together. Even Zhou Xingchi, who has never been very good at dealing with the world, also posted a photo of himself crying while watching "In the Octagonal Cage" on his social account. Surprisingly, the top performer Xiao Zhan also paid for "In the Octagonal Cage" out of his own pocket to support Wang Baoqiang. Until now, netizens do not know how the two met. Indian movie star Aamir Khan also came to cheer Wang Baoqiang, saying "baby" one by one, not too affectionately. Many netizens wondered how this grassroots actor did it? The root cause of is still sincere. In fact, Wang Baoqiang has also been questioned and ridiculed. After starring in "A World Without Thieves", many netizens questioned that Wang Baoqiang can only play the role of "silly root". Unexpectedly, he burst out with amazing acting skills in "Mr. Tree". After starring in "Lost in Thailand", many people complained that he only pretended to be stupid and ugly, and sensationalized. He didn't care, instead, he continued to perfect this style, and only then did he have the indispensable "greasy middle-aged man" in "Detective Chinatown". This time "In the Octagonal Cage" broke the shackles of "he can only act in comedy". Relying on a movie adapted from a real event, he gained fame and fortune with sincerity
