"In the Octagonal Cage" box office has been rising all the way, and the final box office is expected to be 2 billion. This is the second film directed by Wang Baoqiang. The first "Havoc in Tianzhu" received rave reviews six years ago, and now he has used the high box office and high word-of-mouth to avenge his shame. Cheng Qingsong, the founder of the Golden Broom Award, shouted to Wang Baoqiang on social media, "This is the best movie I have seen this year. You should return the 'Golden Broom' you received that year." This solved Wang Baoqiang's big knot. He responded from a distance, "I will really give it back to you!" I watched the movie, and it was totally worth the ticket price. I also got Wang Baoqiang's handsomeness for the first time. He broke the image of a small person who was either honest and simple or heartless in the past, and has a vicissitudes of life, handsome and handsome. Although the current box office is still behind Chen Sicheng's "The Missing You", I think the overall quality of the film is not bad, the rhythm is well grasped, and the emotion is also very restrained. Chen Sicheng is a very smart, flexible, and even a bit of a rogue director. He can accurately grasp the flow of marriage and love topics. Wang Baoqiang is not as flattering as he is in the choice of themes.
These children changed their lives through fighting. Many of them walked out of Daliang Mountain, some became businessmen, some became special police officers, and some specialized in Sanda fighting. But in 2017, some fighting videos of the children were circulated on the Internet, triggering heated discussions on the Internet. Many people accused the club of using underage children for profit, and Embo exploited the children's health. For a while, En Bo became a vicious businessman who was beaten by everyone, the club was closed down, and the orphan was sent back to Daliang Mountain. Surprisingly, many children were crying and unwilling to leave. They were orphans who were left to fend for themselves before. It was the fighting club that gave them the window to the outside world. Now this window is suddenly closed, which is beyond their comprehension. In their minds, Enbo is not only their teacher, but also their godfather, teaching them how to behave and how to become an excellent athlete. The prototype of Xiang Tenghui played by Wang Baoqiang is En Bo. This is a character in the gray area of human nature, a bit like Cheng Yong played by Xu Zheng in "I'm Not the God of Medicine". None of them aspired to be a saint from the beginning, they were all ordinary people with selfish intentions, Cheng Yong only wanted to sell some smuggled drugs to make money, and Xiang Tenghui only wanted to train the children to pretend to fight to subsidize their losses on the battlefield. But they were all pushed by fate to a situation where they had to make a choice. Cheng Yong saw so many cancer patients struggling to die, and Xiang Tenghui saw those innocent children who were about to be destroyed and swallowed up by poverty. They couldn't bear it and were forced to step up and become a hero. What they have done is between black and white, it is difficult to judge, and it is untenable legally, but it has really saved some people. Whether it's En Bo in real life or Xiang Tenghui in the movie, have they used the children to make money? Take advantage of it. But if you don't make money, how will these children survive, and if you don't make money, how can you take them out of the mountains. It is hard for people who have no worries about food and clothing to imagine that those children of have the opportunity to live like human beings off stage only if they live like beasts on stage.
is indeed because of Enbo, and there are children who have walked out of the mountains and into the world because of fighting: Sumu Dalki (the prototype of Sumu in the movie), as a member of the Enbo Enbo Club, won three consecutive victories in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), an international fighting event. He said in an interview with "In the Octagonal Cage" that if there is no fighting, he may be herding cattle at home, and the important thing is that "there is no cattle at home."
People who do nothing are clean, and the suffering of others has nothing to do with them. However, some people choose to jump into the situation of mud and sand and correct the gears of fate, but they are destined to bear all kinds of criticism. Realistic themes have always been difficult to adapt. If it is too realistic, it will not be reviewed. If it is too whitewashed, it will be disgusted by the audience. It is tantamount to dancing in chains. Wang Baoqiang has a good balance in this aspect. He neither avoids practical problems, but also gives the story a bright and positive ending, with emotions, sparks, and thoughts. In 2017, "Havoc in Tianzhu" was poorly shot and the audience didn't buy it. He went to the scene to receive the Golden Broom Award and apologized to the audience, saying that he would definitely become a more qualified director in the future. After that, he sharpened his sword for 6 years, and rarely took on movies and variety shows, and devoted all his time and energy to this movie. Now he did it. It is said that the capital was not optimistic about "In the Octagonal Cage" at the beginning, and they lacked confidence in both the subject matter and Wang Baoqiang's directing skills. The movie ran out of money after it was filmed, but Chen Sicheng stepped forward to bear the post-production costs, allowing the movie to be released smoothly. Now "In the Octagonal Cage" is a big hit, and those capitals who are mistaken are probably regretting it. When Wang Baoqiang makes his next movie, these capitals will definitely flock to him. Not only did Capital change its attitude, but even his ex-wife Ma Rong joined in the fun. It is said that Ma Rong also sent her best wishes to Wang Baoqiang on social media, wishing "In the Octagonal Cage" a hit. Although I didn't find an accurate screenshot, I believe that this matter is not groundless. Ma Rong has always liked to join in the popularity of her ex-husband. After all, she has no other traffic except for the name of Wang Baoqiang's ex-wife. saw that Wang Baoqiang was able to make a comeback after several years of downturn, Ma Rong must have mixed feelings in his heart, and regretted it. If she hadn't caused the great death herself, she would be standing beside him to receive the blessing now. Back then, their divorce battle caused a bloody storm on the Internet. Many people thought that Wang Baoqiang was unkind, and directly exposed Ma Rong's cheating on her manager Song Zhe, and her behavior was too low.
The only advantage of Wang Baoqiang's divorce is that everyone recognizes that he is the cleanest person in the entertainment industry. After all, his wife and manager have been undercover by his side for many years, and they haven't found any black spots in him. It's incredible, isn't it? Wang Baoqiang, a poor kid from the countryside, drifted in Hengdian. After years of playing tricks, he suddenly became popular and became a first-line niche student. His film salary exceeded 10 million, and he made a fortune. Since then, he has reached the pinnacle of his life. But he didn't, unexpectedly broke through the clichés of this world.He is still loyal and down-to-earth, humble and low-key, treats everyone sincerely, and never forgets his roots.
He said so, and he did the same. Mr. En Bo, Xiang Tenghui's prototype, had a sudden myocardial infarction in March this year and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. Tubes were inserted all over his body. He was on ECMO (artificial lung) for more than 20 days, and the daily cost was 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. Wang Baoqiang paid the high medical expenses for him after he found out, saving his life. He has many good friends in the snobbish entertainment industry, and everyone is willing to help him when he encounters difficulties. Needless to say, Chen Sicheng, such a shrewd person has generously donated to him several times, and has visited new films many times. Li Chen also took the initiative to play a role in the show, Andy Lau sang the promotion song "It's Not a Sin to Cry a Man" for "In the Octagonal Cage", and Liu Ruoying and Wang Baoqiang sang "Dear Child". He is a really smart person. He has struggled for too long and suffered enough hardships. He knows that this fame and fortune will not come overnight. Soaked in heartache and hardships, he already has enough concentration to deal with everything he has obtained. Wang Baoqiang, a grassroots who lives hard and transparently, his background determines the angle from which he observes society, and his sincerity determines the depth he can reach in the end. But the more successful he is, the more he can see the fundamental difference between him and Ma Rong. He keeps his original intentions, she is eager for quick success, he restrains himself, and she can't satisfy her desires.
