Throughout the year, some people are happy and some are worried.
Recently, the Golden Broom Awards announced the shortlist, and the crew of "Super Family" are "grand slam contestants."
was shortlisted for five awards: "Most Disappointing Film", "Most Disappointing Director", "Most Disappointing Screenwriter", "Most Disappointing Actor" and "Most Disappointing Actress".
The most surprising thing here is Shen Teng, the "Ten Billion Movie King", who successfully staged the fall of acting school into .
Counting the Golden Broom Awards for 15 years, Wang Baoqiang is the only one who woke up from the "scold".
And 41-year-old Wang Baoqiang also created three miracles in domestic entertainment that no one can surpass.
The first director to receive an award and make innovations
The ancients once said: "A sight is better than a hundred hearings." Now, the charm of movies lies in this. However, in the vast sea of Chinese-language films, there is an award called "The Golden Broom", which is a unique existence in the history of Chinese-language films.
The name "Golden Broom" implies the irony of the failed work. However, the influence of this award in the Chinese film industry is growing day by day. It has not only become a benchmark for measuring film quality, but also an important force in promoting film development.
For Golden Broom, some actors cannot recognize it, because it is equivalent to a shame for the actors. Bao Beier once won the Most Disappointing Director Award for filming the movie "Sisters of the Sunshine".
For this reason, Bao Beier was so angry that he directly called out Golden Broom Award judge Cheng Qingsong and insulted him.
Bao Beier obviously did not accept this result and asked Cheng Qingsong to apologize to him.
In 2018, Wang Baoqiang became the focus of this award. After his directorial debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" was released during the Spring Festival in 2017, although it achieved impressive box office results of 750 million+, its reputation was not good.
The score on a certain page was only 3.8. Many viewers jokingly commented: "This film proves that the director still has a threshold." This may be a joke in the praise, or it may be a disappointment in the ridicule.
No one is willing to acknowledge the Golden Broom Award, which is full of criticism and irony, let alone receive it. But Wang Baoqiang did it, and he was the only one to get on the podium.
When Wang Baoqiang stood on the podium and took the regretful award with both hands, his face did not show the slightest bit of frustration or complaint. On the contrary, he smiled calmly, showing his unique magnanimity and magnanimity.
He said: "Although it is not a glorious award, it can spur people to make progress."
This sentence is full of power and determination. Time passed by, but Wang Baoqiang did not stop because of one failure.
He still maintains his original intention, learns humbly, and strives to improve his directing skills. Finally in 2023, he proved his strength to people with "Octagonal Cage".
"The Octagonal Cage" tells the touching story of an ordinary person leading a group of unattended children in the mountains to break out of the prison of fate. This movie is based on a true story, and every shot and every detail embodies Wang Baoqiang's hard work and expectations.
It is this sincere emotion and dedication that make "The Octagon" a touching masterpiece.
Wang Baoqiang once said: "Movies are everything to me, and failure is just a small step in the process."
From "Havoc in Tianzhu" to "The Octagonal Cage", he has proved this sentence with his own actions. He is not only an excellent actor, but also a filmmaker who has the courage to face challenges and constantly improves.
In this rapidly changing era, "The Golden Broom" is like a bright mirror, always reminding filmmakers to keep a clear head and a humble attitude. Only by constantly reflecting and making progress can we ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely in the vast ocean of film.
The first person whose agent and wife could not find out about his dark history
In the turbulent entertainment industry, the pure hearts of some people are as precious as the clear spring stones. Wang Baoqiang, this name, attracted national attention in the early morning of 2016 due to a divorce announcement.
The affair between Ma Rong and her agent Song Zhe is as chilling as the sudden cold wind in winter. But in this turmoil, Wang Baoqiang's pure heart was like a beacon, illuminating the entire incident.
When the fig leaf was ruthlessly torn down and the truth of the marriage was exposed to the public, Wang Baoqiang suffered a transfer of property, and even in the most difficult moment, he was unable to even pay for the lawsuit.
It is said that he only had 100,000 yuan on him at that time, which was not even enough for legal fees.
In desperation, he turned to his former friend Chen Sicheng for help. Chen Sicheng did not hesitate and directly lent Wang Baoqiang 3 million. After Wang Baoqiang received the money, first paid off the company's taxes with 1.8 million, and the remaining money was used to litigate .
When the relationship between the two parties broke down, Ma Rong naturally wanted to find dirty information about Wang Baoqiang to fight back. However, the means she used seemed so clumsy.
First of all, she broke the news that Wang Baoqiang cheated on the actress , and claimed that she had a close relationship with the actress on Chinese Valentine's Day. When asked about the actress's name, she was evasive and said she couldn't reveal it.
She explained that she could not easily expose the actress' name due to personal privacy and security concerns. But in fact, she knew that she could not provide any evidence to prove her revelation of .
Then, she wrote and directed a drama about domestic violence by Wang Baoqiang, and posted what she called "scarred" photos, which aroused widespread attention and sympathy.
However, , subsequent surveillance video showed that those injuries were caused by his own scissors.
In this divorce turmoil, neither Ma Rong nor her agent could find any problems with Wang Baoqiang’s personal ethics and finances.
This is not because Wang Baoqiang is perfect, but because he has always adhered to the bottom line and principles of life. He is like the clear spring stone rising up. Although the surrounding environment is turbid, he always maintains his own clarity and purity.
Such a pure heart allowed him to remain tenacious and noble in difficult situations. Even in the face of a double blow from Ma Rong and his agent, he still did not give up his pursuit of justice and truth.
This is not only reflected in his actions of borrowing money to pay taxes and filing lawsuits, but also in his attitude towards this marriage. Even in the face of betrayal and humiliation, he still chose to face the public openly and bravely exposed the truth.
The only person who has carried out "silliness" to the end
Go back a few years ago, when he was just an unknown boy. Who would have thought that he would shine so brightly in the days to come?
Back then, "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang came out. The character of Sha Gen was like the messenger of spring, taking away the coldness in people's hearts and bringing warmth and hope to countless dream chasers. Wang Baoqiang's name has since emerged in the film and television industry.
He started from a minor role and moved to the center of the stage step by step. He is not from a professional background and has not received a day's acting training, but his acting skills are like unpolished jade, simple and real.
In "Soldier Assault", the character Xu Sanduo seems to be his incarnation. His persistence, tenacity, and indomitable spirit all become lifelike under his interpretation.
In front of the camera, he seems to be the character himself, real, vivid, and flesh-and-blood. He has never learned acting for a day, but relies on his own perception and hard work to perform every role vividly.
In life, Wang Baoqiang is also closely connected with the word "silly root".
For example, Wang Baoqiang said in an interview that after won the Golden Horse Award, he also made for 200 yuan a day.
Because in Wang Baoqiang's opinion, two hundred yuan at that time was a large amount of money. Since there was such an opportunity, of course he would go. This also reflects Wang Baoqiang's simple side.
Another time, Wang Baoqiang chose to give some gifts to the director Feng Xiaogang in order to thank him. Giving gifts to directors usually depends on the director's preferences, but Wang Baoqiang actually gave Xiaomi and specialty products in a very real way, which also made many people say that he was "silly and honest" .
Wang Baoqiang's unpretentious and unpretentious authenticity makes people feel warm and touching.
In this society where interests come first, we often ignore the value of sincerity and pursue flashy and superficial things. Wang Baoqiang’s behavior reminds us that sincerity and reality are the most powerful forces that can move people’s hearts.
The reason why Wang Baoqiang has gained such a high reputation and popularity is not only because of his talent and acting skills, but also because of his hard work and fighting spirit.
goes back to the first time he got the opportunity to be a martial artist. At that time, he was full of passion and dreams, and was not afraid of any difficulties or dangers.
In every scene, he did not hesitate. I remember when he was a stand-in at the beginning, he had to rush up the high fire escape, jump and fall hard to the ground.
That fall seemed to have shattered his determination and perseverance. However, the reward he received was only the meager 50 yuan.
But he continued to persist and continued to act as a human sandbag the next day. Every punch and kick, every fall and collision added bruises to his body.
But he never backed down because he knew that every role was a stepping stone to his success. It is this perseverance that has allowed him to gradually rise to prominence in the entertainment industry.
Finally, he met characters like "Sha Gen" and "Xu Sanduo". These characters seemed to be tailor-made for him. His acting skills and characters were perfectly integrated, winning applause and recognition from the audience.
is not stupid at all, he just interprets life and dreams in his own way.
Conclusion
From an unknown grassroots actor to a director now standing at the top of the industry, his growth process is full of legend. In this process, he always adhered to his original intention and became a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.
At the premiere of his first movie "Havoc in Tianzhu", he specially invited Chen Kaige, Xu Zheng and other directors who had guided him and given him selfless support. On the night of the premiere of
, when everyone's eyes were focused on the new director, Wang Baoqiang suddenly walked to the stage, bowed deeply to the directors who had supported him, and then knelt down on the ground. express his sincere gratitude.
This is where Wang Baoqiang’s silly spirit lies. No matter when, he will never forget those who have helped him. This spirit is both the secret of his success and the cornerstone of his stability in this ever-changing era.
