February 14th is both the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day. It is a good day to be friendly and make money. However, "Article 20" star Wang Xiao was scolded by the audience when he returned to his hometown of Nanjing for a road show.
It can be seen from the live video that Wang Xiao was originally sharing interesting things behind the scenes of "Article 20". When talking about the taxi driver's suspicion that he was learning Nanjing dialect, he emphasized that he was from Nanjing and could speak Nanjing dialect. Get closer to the audience. However, before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the audience. A female audience member shouted for Wang Xiao to "get off the stage" and said that she wanted to watch the next movie. The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and Wang Xiao had to end his sharing and leave in a hurry. field.
A total of eight movies were released during the Spring Festival this year. The competition is very fierce. Although one of the directors is Zhang Yimou, as of press time, the box office of "Article 20" has been far behind "Hot" and "Flying Life 2" , the box office gap between the top-ranked "Hot and Spicy" is more than 1.1 billion, and it is not even as good as the animated film "Bear Infested: Reverse Time and Space".
As you can imagine, under such circumstances, the film crew and director Zhang Yimou must have been under a lot of pressure, so they not only had a tight road show, but even asked the cast and crew to split up. But the problem also arises. If it were director Zhang Yimou, or the starring actors Ma Li and Lei Jiayin, it might be okay. After all, they are famous and have high audience recognition, but Wang Xiao is different.
In fact, Wang Xiao played a lot of roles as Deputy Inspector Tian in the film. He was the third male lead, ranked behind Lei Jiayin and Liu Yaowen. He had many scenes opposite Lei Jiayin and Gao Ye in the film. "Article 20" tells the story of Han Ming, played by Lei Jiayin, who went to the prosecutor's office and encountered a controversial case between intentional injury and legitimate defense. Lu Lingling, played by Gao Ye, insisted that there was a hidden secret behind the case and felt that Pan Binlong Wang Yongqiang, played by Wang Yongqiang, acted in self-defense and only hurt people when he was forced to do so. However, Deputy Inspector Tian, played by Wang Xiao, is an upright person and likes to strictly follow procedures, so he does not agree with Lu Lingling's approach. Several actors have performed very well in the movie.
It’s not easy for Wang Xiao to get to where he is today, and it is a rare opportunity to join Zhang Yimou’s crew. He officially entered the industry in 2005. In the past 20 years of his acting career, he has appeared in many popular works such as "White Deer Plain", "Three Lives Three Worlds", "Hurry Up", etc. However, Wang Xiao is a drama face whose face is familiar to everyone who sees it, but I believe that not many viewers remember his name. In fact, Wang Xiao was born into an acting family. His mother is the well-known actor Wang Fuli, and his father is a stage director. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and his acting skills are quite solid. Because of this, he was selected by Zhang Yimou to play such an important role as the third male lead.
A live audience posted a post restoring the scene. She said that the theater did not reserve time for the road show, which caused a conflict between the road show time and the start time of the next movie. Therefore, Wang Xiao also shared on stage that the audience who bought the next movie felt that they were delayed and started to get excited. He shouted to leave and said a lot of unpleasant things, so Wang Xiao and the publicity team had to leave early.
This viewer also revealed that Wang Xiao nodded and cooperated throughout the process and comforted the fans by saying "it's okay". He really respects every fan and tries his best to take care of every fan's emotions. He is indeed a very good person!
It is not difficult to see from the live video and the words of netizens that such a situation in the road show is entirely the problem of the theater. Since you have accepted the movie road show, you should prepare in advance and set aside at least 25 minutes of post-screening communication time. This is both Respect for the actors is also respect for the audience who spend money to buy tickets and wait to interact with the actors.
Of course, this also reflects the current situation that Wang Xiao is not enough and has not attracted enough attention from theaters. Just imagine, if it was Zhang Yimou or Ma Li who went on the road show, would such a road show accident happen? I believe that even if the post-screening time is not enough, the audience who was shouting curses will be interested in watching the post-screening interaction when they see Ma Li on stage! Instead of belittling Wang Xiao as a "fifth-tier star" on the spot. In short, the actor is really innocent. I hope Wang Xiao will not be affected by the situation of this road show and can continue to complete subsequent road shows with a peaceful mind.
