Hello, good morning everyone~ Recently, the "high-temperature grilling" mode has been turned on all over the country. How much is it in your place? Everyone must be careful of heat stroke in hot weather!
But even in the hot summer, don’t forget to eat melons and gossip with Mr. Youliao~
With the recent hit of the movie "In the Octagonal Cage", Wang Baoqiang has once again become a topic of discussion. The film has gained an excellent reputation since its premiere, and it has earned a box office of 1.4 billion in just 10 days after its release. At the same time, it has become the new box office champion in Chinese film history with a box office record of over 400 million.
"In the Octagonal Cage" has undoubtedly become a dark horse at the box office during the summer vacation, and everyone's praise for Wang Baoqiang is almost overflowing the screen.
Wu Ershan, an excellent director who has directed "Looking for the Dragon" and "Painted Skin", praised at the premiere of "In the Octagonal Cage": "The movie is very sincere, and the details of life in the movie are particularly touching!"
Everyone knows that Master Xing has high requirements for movies, and a movie that can be praised by Master Xing shows that it is really good!
Cheng Qingsong, the founder of the "Golden Broom Award", also posted on Weibo to congratulate "In the Octagonal Cage" for breaking through 1.2 billion at the box office and urged Baoqiang to take back his "Golden Broom Award".
The "Golden Broom" is similar to the American "Golden Raspberry" award for the worst film of the year.
html Wang Baoqiang's first film "Havoc in Tianzhu", which he turned into a director 6 years ago, had a box office of 700 million, but the ratings on major websites were extremely low. It was the first time to direct and act on its own, with little experience. "Havoc in Tianzhu" became the "most disappointing film" of the year, and Wang Baoqiang also became the "most disappointing director".
The "Golden Broom Award" in 2018 has been held for the ninth time. Before this, no popular star has ever admitted and received the award on the spot. After all, it is not an honor to win this "award". However, Wang Baoqiang took time out of his busy schedule to accept the "Golden Broom Award" in person. Facing the "bad reviews" of the "Golden Broom Award" on the awarding platform, he sincerely apologized to the audience and expressed that he owed the audience a qualified movie.
Six years have passed, and the second film directed by Wang Baoqiang was released. After the release, the film received great acclaim, and he also fulfilled his original promise.
worked hard for six years on this promise that most of you may not remember. In the past six years, he rarely took on movies and variety shows, and almost devoted all his time and energy to this movie. The script was revised for three or four years, and the screenwriter changed several times. When the script was finally finished and the project was ready to start, the investors who had already finalized it all withdrew their capital one after another. Facing the sudden situation, Baoqiang was somewhat at a loss.
cannot start the machine without funds, which means that the previous efforts were in vain, but fortunately, Maoyan Shadow Industry extended a helping hand to give him a hand. In the later stage of film production, good brother Chen Sicheng also contributed people, effort and money to help Baoqiang complete the final finishing work.
Seeing the box office of "In the Octagon" now, those investors who have withdrawn their funds are all regretful.
The big sale of "In the Octagonal Cage" this time also let you see Wang Baoqiang's good popularity, except for the great help of his good brother Chen Sicheng. Facing the 2-minute cameo role in the movie, Li Chen even ran to the crew to unconditionally support Baoqiang without notifying his agent, and even asked Baoqiang if he needed extras and preparations.
During the promotion period of the movie, Wang Xun also opened a short video account. Currently, all the videos posted by this account are promoting the movie "In the Octagonal Cage".
Liu Ruoying sang the promotion song "Dear Child" for the movie "In the Octagonal Cage" in order to support her "silly brother".In the interview with
Liu Ruoying said bluntly: I know that Baoqiang has not been easy in the past few years, and he has put a lot of effort into making this movie "In the Octagonal Cage", so Baoqiang asked me to come, so I must come.
The fate of the two began in "A World Without Thieves" and their sister-brother relationship 19 years ago has continued to this day. In addition to Liu Ruoying, Andy Lau, who also met 19 years ago, also sang the promotion song "It's not a crime for a man to cry" to help out Wang Baoqiang's movie.
Seeing this, everyone may ask, why does Wang Baoqiang have such an excellent network of contacts, so that so many people in the entertainment industry support his movie promotion. In fact, the answer is as he himself said: "Sincerity!" Sincerity is not only the cornerstone of creation but also the cornerstone of his connections.
Wang Baoqiang has treated everyone sincerely over the years, and in exchange for the sincere treatment of others, Wang Baoqiang is not only sincere but also kind.
Some of you may not know that this realistic movie is actually based on the true events of "Empo Fighting Orphans". Mr. Xiang Tenghui's prototype, Mr. En Bo, had a sudden myocardial infarction in March this year and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. His body was full of tubes and he lost more than 60 catties. In order to maintain life, I have been on ECMO for more than 20 days. ECMO is also an artificial heart and lung. Its usage fee is about 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per day. After Wang Baoqiang found out, he fully supported En Bo and paid for his high medical expenses.
Later, when the film was being promoted, En Bo had to attend the road show even though he was sick and in a wheelchair, to contribute to the film.
If you want to talk about why "In the Octagonal Cage" is so popular, some people think that apart from sincerity, another reason is that the movie not only shows the suffering of the people at the bottom, but also brings emotional warmth to the audience.
Then why can Wang Baoqiang show the emotional tension of the underlying characters so vividly? That's because he himself came out of the bottom step by step.
Wang Baoqiang was born in Xingtai, Hebei Province in 1982. His family's grandparents were farmers for generations. Like most rural children, because the family was poor, they used to pick up the clothes worn by their older brothers and sisters when they were young.
html When he was 8 years old, Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" played in the village gave him his dream of making a movie. He also wanted to become a kung fu superstar like Jet Li. In order to realize his movie dream, he went to Shaolin Temple alone to learn from his master.
After entering the Shaolin Temple, he was called "Hengzhi". He got up at 4:00 every morning, climbed mountains and ran for quality training in the morning, and studied culture in the afternoon. In order to practice Kung Fu well, it is common for Mabuza to perform for 3 hours.
After staying in Shaolin Temple for 6 years, Wang Baoqiang found that Shaolin Temple could not fulfill his dream of being an actor, so he decided to leave. He heard from his brother that Beijing can act in movies, so he came to Beijing to start his journey to Beijing as an extra.
has been playing tricks for many years, and Wang Baoqiang has also participated in many film and television works, but he is still far from realizing his dream, even so he has not given up. It is also this persistence that Wang Baoqiang received the invitation of "Blind Well". In the end, Wang Baoqiang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer for his role as Yuan Fengming in "Blind Well".
Wang Baoqiang participated in "A World Without Thieves" again in 2004. This drama brought together celebrities such as Andy Lau, Liu Ruoying, Ge You, etc., but Feng Xiaogang predicted: "This drama will be popular, and only Wang Baoqiang will be popular." As a result, Wang Baoqiang really became popular with the role of "Silly Root", and maintained a relationship with Liu Ruoying and Andy Lau for 19 years.
Not long after "A World Without Thieves" finished filming, Xu Fan recommended him to the crew of "Soldier Assault". After playing for more than three years, Wang Baoqiang became even more popular, and his still photos were painted on the walls of his hometown.
After that, Wang Baoqiang also starred in film and television dramas such as "My Brother is Shunliu", "Hello! Mr. Tree", "People on the Journey", appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and participated in many variety shows.
After the big fire, Wang Baoqiang continued to make film appointments and his career was booming, but he was not dazzled by fame and fortune.When faced with the exorbitant guest pay, Wang Baoqiang refused. He said to himself: "You have to restrain yourself and control your desire for money."
In a vanity fair like the entertainment industry, it is rare for an artist like Wang Baoqiang to cherish his feathers so much.
After "In the Octagonal Cage" was released, many friends in the circle sent blessings to Baoqiang, and his ex-wife Ma Rong also joined the fun and posted a message on social platforms to congratulate Baoqiang. As soon as
's remark came out, it aroused heated discussions among netizens. Many netizens suspected that Ma Rong wanted to get back together.
There were also rumors that Ma Rong and Wang Baoqiang had reconciled because of the child. Some time ago, some people saw the two of them attending the child's graduation ceremony together, but Wang Baoqiang didn't seem to want to have too much communication with her.
Although they are divorced, the connection between the two of them is inevitable because of the bond of having children. If both of them can let go of the past, it will be very beneficial to the growth of the two children.
But no matter how the relationship between the two of them develops, Mr. Youliao still hopes that everyone can have their own happiness and not easily betray and hurt others.
Finally, I wish Baoqiang's movie "In the Octagonal Cage" continue to sell well! I hope Baoqiang can bring you more and better works in the future. (Text/Nian Gao, editor in charge/YK)
