Xiao Yang, a fellow villager, has accumulated a lot in these years, from "Old Boy", "Father", "Old Boy Raptor Crossing the River" in the Chopstick Brothers period, to commercial films such as "Love Saint", "Chinatown Detective 2", until Self-written, directed and acted in the "Weather Pre-Boom", which is good at the box office and has a very general reputation, and has become a multi-periodic actor in the field of commercial films.
has been on the fringe of the entertainment industry for a long time. Xiao Yang has always been able to toss and is extremely sensitive to opportunities. At least he is better at grasping opportunities than Wang Taili, the other half of the Chopsticks brothers. This time, Xiao Yang, who has repeatedly proved the value of his commercial film, participated in the new film "The Crowd" by the director Rao Xiaozhi, who has directed "The Unknown,". The opportunity has come again.
Because of the black humor and small cost movie "The Unknown," Rao Xiaozhi, a drama director, finally got rid of the "Hello, Madman!" "Leaving the audience with the stereotype of "drama tone", the cumulative box office score of 794 million made him a new label for domestic commercial film directors of "big by small".
In addition, the works of the older generation of directors such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Wang Xiaoshuai, etc., are becoming more and more inferior to Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wen Muye, Rao Xiaozhi, these younger generation directors who have more thorough audience demand and higher box office appeal. This is also everyone. One of the reasons for the high expectations for this "Crowd Crowd".
"The Crowd", which started filming in Shanghai on October 24, is obviously Rao Xiaozhi's best black humor film, focusing on comedy stories of small characters. In the previously exposed poster, the suit and leather shoes on the left are carrying a gun, probably Andy Lau , and the plain clothes on the right are holding "The Self-cultivation of Actors", which is estimated to be Xiaoyang . The story of "Two Heroes" is estimated to be true. Hammered.
Rao Xiaozhi is responsible for the story and rhythm. Andy Lau brings popularity and Xiao Yang brings rhythm. This should be the main selling point of this "two heroes play". In addition, "Hello, crazy!" "Wan Qian, who is outstanding in ", will also star in this film.
Andy Lau is not only an "evergreen tree" in the Chinese music scene, but also a "mainstay" in Hong Kong films. In the eyes of the audience, he has been popular for many years and is still the "Myth of Immortality" .
, especially the "Sweeping Drugs 2: World Showdown" starring him and Louis Koo, broke the previous Hong Kong-produced Mainland box office record created by "Wu Shuang", and the popularity is on the cusp. This time he starred in "The Crowd" and played with Emperor The rumor that invested in the film is also related.
However, from the perspective of a Hong Kong actor, because Hong Kong-produced films are gradually declining, the younger generation of Hong Kong actors are not available, and the commercial films released on the mainland are becoming more and more simplistic. This also affects the status of Hong Kong actors in the mainland film and television circles. . Especially after the post-90s and post-00s have gradually become the main force of movie audiences, this trend has become more obvious. For Xiao Yang,
, the "two heroes play", is an excellent opportunity to further consolidate his film status. Although Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Shen Teng have already occupied the "front row" of domestic commercial films, actors like Xiao Yang who have precise and detailed portrayals of small characters and have experience in commercial film operations will It played a positive role in Rao Xiaozhi's "The Crowd".
