Wang Baoqiang, who rarely appeared in the public eye after "Detective Chinatown 3", finally has a new action, after 5 years, Wang Baoqiang will once again take the guide tube, and the new film "Octagon Cage" directed and self-acted will start today.
Wang Baoqiang learned martial arts at the Shaolin Temple since childhood, and was well known to the audience for participating in the film "No Thief in the World" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and in 2006, with the popularity of the TV series "Soldier Assault", Wang Baoqiang ushered in the peak of his career.
Subsequently, in 10 and 12 years, he cooperated with Xu Zheng in the Series of films "People in the Journey" and "People Again in the Journey of Tai Lu", which not only consolidated Wang Baoqiang's acting career, but also promoted Xu Zheng to one of the most promising directors in China.
Wang Baoqiang then successively participated in the Tang Detective series of films "Detective Chinatown" directed by Chen Sicheng, although it received good box office results, but the rating of the film was lower than one, Wang Baoqiang's acting skills were also criticized, and some doubts about Wang Baoqiang's acting skills came from the audience's mouth, "pompous and contrived", "completely for funny and funny, it seems too deliberate and false"....
With the increasing box office of Wang Baoqiang's films, he also saw the dividends of film directing. In 2017, the comedy movie "Big Trouble Tianzhu", directed and starred by Wang Baoqiang, was released in the Spring Festival file. As the first self-directed and self-acting film, Wang Baoqiang gathered many friends in the circle and the strength of the drama to participate, and the cast was very strong.
As soon as the film was released, the box office exceeded 187 million on the first day, and the total box office was as high as 756 million. However, such a strong lineup and a good box office still can't carry the poor reputation that this movie can't support.
The Douban score of "Big Trouble Tianzhu" is only 3.7 points, and the reputation of the movie can be described as a big overturn! The whole film has almost no highlights, and vulgar, no nutrition, looking for money, looking for women, looking for brothers, and even multiple shots repeating dialogue, from character plots to lines, from scene art to special effects, all of which are undesirable, which makes Wang Baoqiang's first electrocution film director encounter Waterloo.
Comedy can be vulgar, can be spoofed, but can not be nonsense, comedy celebrities gathered, Wang Baoqiang has led to a bad film. With this film, Wang Baoqiang also indisputably won the most disappointing director award of the famous Golden Broom Award, completing his own dream of being a director of a ridiculous board.
It has been 5 years since this failed work of Wang Baoqiang, "Big Trouble Tianzhu", and now Wang Baoqiang has once again restarted with his self-directed and self-acting movie "In the Octagon Cage", and it is reported that the new film has been launched in Chengdu today.
The film "In the Octagon Cage" is adapted from the "Fighting Orphans" incident that caused a sensation across the country. Former fighting champion Xiang Tenghui (Wang Baoqiang) is forced by life to use hired orphans to perform fighting to amass wealth, but accidentally discovers the children's talents, and Xiang Tenghui intends to train them to become professional athletes. In the process of getting along day and night, Tenghui and the children gradually trust each other and become the most trusted "relatives" of each other.
Other actors include Chen Yongsheng (Sniper), Wang Xun and others.
From the perspective of theme, the role is still very suitable, and Wang Baoqiang's acting skills are also obvious to all, but the director's ability is well... After all, there was a "Big Trouble Tianzhu" that disappointed the audience to the extreme, and I wonder if Wang Baoqiang's second directorial work can bring surprises to everyone? What do you think?
