"Manslaughter 2" was officially released, and in less than 2 days, the film easily cut 126 million at the box office.
According to the pre-release box office estimates, the final box office of this film will definitely exceed 1.4 billion, and in December, this not-so-popular movie schedule, if a suspense film can really get this result, it is indeed super god.
But more than the success of this film, I am more concerned about Xiao Yang's personal success.
After all, counting this movie, Xiao Yang has already cooperated with Chen Sicheng three or four times.
In today's entertainment circle, it is indeed of great significance to be appreciated by Chen Sicheng and become his male protagonist.
There is a particularly simple example that can prove this, that is, Wang Baoqiang, although before Wang Baoqiang met Chen Sicheng, he already had "No Thief in the World", "One Man's Martial Forest", "Hello! Mr. Tree" and other classic movies leaning over.
But what really pushed his commercial value and his status in the entertainment industry to the climax was Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown" series.
The first "Detective Chinatown" sold 800 million;
The second "Detective Chinatown" sold 3.3 billion;
The third " Detective Chinatown " sold for 4.5 billion.
It can be said that these three "Detective Chinatown" directly pushed Wang Baoqiang's film career to the highest peak.
And the path Xiao Yang is walking now is indeed too similar to Wang Baoqiang.
"Manslaughter 1" is the first film supervised by Chen Sicheng, and "Manslaughter 2" is still produced by Chen Sicheng.
The performance of "Manslaughter 1" is quite good, the first shot won 1.3 billion box office, as for this "Manslaughter 2", the box office performance will not be bad.
With the achievements of these two films as the foundation, coupled with Chen Sicheng's appreciation, Xiao Yang's achievements in the future are absolutely unlimited.
What's more, compared to Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang still had three very obvious advantages!
The first: Xiao Yang's image is more suitable for ordinary people!
On the surface, Xiao Yang's personality is similar to Wang Baoqiang's, not outstanding, very ordinary.
But a closer look reveals that there is still a difference between the two people.
Wang Baoqiang may be more suitable for the kind of personality with a distinct personality, such as "Xu Sanduo", such as "Tang Ren" and so on.
But Xiao Yang is different, and his image is suitable for playing the most grounded, the most real role of ordinary people.
This is also the reason why two consecutive "Manslaughter" have let him star, because his image is indeed too ordinary and too real.
The core of the two "Manslaughter" is, in the final analysis, a meaning, that is, to say: "the wrath of mortals", which is to talk about the "recklessness" of ordinary fathers for their sons and daughters.
More appropriately, when Xiao Yang plays these roles, he can make the audience have a sense of substitution and make the audience feel empathy.
Seriously, the ultimate purpose of the high-level film itself is to resonate with the audience, that is, to map the audience to real life, and Xiao Yang can achieve this effect as soon as he appears, which is the difference between Xiao Yang and his biggest advantage!
The second one: Xiao Yang is also from the class!
Duan Yihong once said that although Wang Baoqiang is not an actor from The Class, he is definitely more profound than the Class actor when he plays.
Especially after Duan Yihong watched Wang Baoqiang's smoking shot of "Mr. Tree", he really admired Wang Baoqiang to the ground.
But the class also has the advantages of the class, such as some emotional understanding, such as some explosive power of the foreshadowing are more natural.
Xiao Yang, who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, justified the class, especially some of Xiao Yang's details in this "Manslaughter 2" are memorable.
One detail is that when Xiao Yang threatened the doctor with a gun, the doctor was sure that he did not dare to kill people, because in the eyes of the doctor, Xiao Yang was an honest person, an ordinary person who only promised.
But who would have thought that Xiao Yang turned his head and said the climactic sentence of the film to the doctor in a very resolute tone, that is:
You don't know what a father can do for his own children!
What is the wrath of mortals? That's it!
What is Fatherly Love? That's it!
Maybe each of our fathers are mortal, ordinary people, but they are the bravest fighters in defending their children, in protecting their children!
Of course, in this movie, Xiao Yang's most impressive thing to me is his plan B.
On the surface, he hijacked the hospital to retrieve the heart that originally belonged to his son, but in fact, after a big circle, he made a round, he was bent on death, and wanted to exchange his heart for his son's new life.
Seriously, in the last 20 minutes of this movie, when all the plans of Xiao Yang's father were revealed one by one, I was really moved, I was really shocked.
It can be said that with this dedicated performance alone, Xiao Yang has been called the role benchmark of "father".
After all, such a real, selfless image of fatherhood like him is indeed very rare on the big screen.
The third: Xiao Yang's character growth is stronger!
In "Detective Chinatown 3", in fact, Wang Baoqiang's role has been weakened.
The main reason is because there is not much room for tang ren to grow, and the role created by Xiao Yang in "Manslaughter" is actually not much.
Growth, upside may be a little more.
Especially when Chen Sicheng combines the theme of suspense crime and fatherly love, genetically, he is naturally a little more advanced than "Detective Chinatown" and better shapes the character.
So if the final box office of "Manslaughter 2" really easily broke through 1.4 billion, maybe Chen Sicheng would have to tailor a "manslaughter universe" for Xiao Yang.
After all, for Chen Sicheng, this kind of script is really quite easy.
Suspense drama, he already has a mature production team under his hands, on the network, now the entertainment industry does not have actors he can not pull.
With people, money, and word of mouth, coupled with super IP appeal, China's most successful commercial film director is Chen Sicheng.
And with Chen Sicheng mixed, Xiao Yang wanted to become the next Wang Baoqiang is indeed an easy thing.
I don't know how you think of Xiao Yang's success, welcome to leave a message and discuss with me!
