After three years of epidemic, it was opened at the end of last year, and all walks of life ushered in a recovery.
In the 2023 Spring Festival, Chinese films that have been silent for 3 years have also ushered in a long-lost recovery, and the discussion on the Internet about the upcoming movies is also hot.
The filmmakers are painstaking, and the success of the creation is all up to the audience, and they can't control themselves.
After a storm, Deng Chao's film is really ill-fated, in the entire history of Chinese film, there should be no "Chinese Ping-Pong" that can beat him, and no movie has such a "bumpy" experience.
After being withdrawn for no reason twice, he was forced to change the final time to February 17, only 2 days after the successful release, and was forced to withdraw for the third time after losing 8 figures, and he became a laughing stock in the circle.
His movie events also tell the fact that real life is always crueler than film and television dramas.
For him as an actor, losing money is not the most uncomfortable for him, and the most damning thing should be that his confidence as a well-known actor and director has been hit again and again.
Many years after his debut, he has experienced many ups and downs from an unknown little transparent at the bottom to a first-line student, and now he has encountered the movie Waterloo, and the blow to him should only be experienced by himself.
In 1979, he was born into a special reorganized family, and was named "Chao" because he was the child of Chao, and there were half-brothers and sisters in the family, and he was also the family's favored younger brother.
He has been very smart since he was a child, his academic performance is good, and his father is also full of expectations for this young son, hoping that he can go to a prestigious school and become an elite in the future.
However, at the age of 13, he began to rebel after entering junior high school, skipping school, dyeing his hair, fighting, hitting earrings, humming pop music in his mouth, and even became obsessed with dancing for a while.
He often skipped class to dance in the disco, and after a long time became familiar with the owner of the dance hall, at that time he began to work part-time - as a lead dancer.
When he made money, he began to swell, wanted to see the bigger world, went to Guangdong alone, and then realized that his parents followed him all the way to Guangdong.
One day when he was leaving work, he saw his parents waiting for him by the elevator, with a lot of gray hair, a haggard face, and his heart was quite unpleasant.
At that time, he was not yet an adult, he was not deeply involved in the world, and he was not familiar with life, so he should have suffered a lot, and obediently went home with his parents with his luggage.
After some tossing, I made up my mind to change my past mistakes and study hard, and my parents were also very gratified.
Because he did not study hard in the rebellious years, his homework could not catch up, so at the suggestion of his family, he chose to take the path of art student, and then turned to vocational school to study drama performance.
After meeting his mentor, teaching him sincerely, and following the good practices, Deng Chao was completely reborn, obsessed with acting and learning, and became a top student in the school.
Finally, in 1998, after graduating from secondary school, he decided to apply for the Central Academy of Drama.
At that time, he was still chewing gum in his mouth when he participated in the interview, looking at his hanginger's behavior, the chief examiner Huang Lei reprimanded him, fortunately, the major is solid, he also has talent, and finally successfully admitted.
After a few years of further study, he successfully graduated and then successfully entered the drama theater.
In the same year, he starred in his first starring TV series, the characters are complex, as a freshman who has just graduated, he can also shape such a three-dimensional character, which can be described as a good start for his actor career.
After the show was broadcast, it received rave reviews, and he also became a hit, followed by more kingly roles, he did not want to be bound by the same role, resolutely changed the drama path, and began to turn to a variety of TV series.
This time, his roles are more inclined to rich businessmen, soldiers, costumes, etc., and his screen personality transition is very natural, and the audience's recognition is also high.
This transformation, not only reached a small peak in his career, but also met the love of his life - Sun Li, the two fell in love for many years and joined hands to form a family.
Deng Chao, who has a very high emotional intelligence, can act, talk, and be a person, so he is also a sesame blossom in his career and is rising step by step.
Later, when he became a first-line student in China, his mentor invited him to play the male protagonist of "Difficult Love", this time a domineering president.
In that year, it created a ratings miracle, and the ratings broke records on many TV stations.
For him as an actor, on the road of drama, he can control ancient costumes, military travel, fantasy, crime, literature and art, drama, urban and other themes, very malleable, selling cute, playing tricks, etc., Deng Chao at this time can be described as proud.
After he had a small success on the small screen, he still did not forget his original intention, constantly broke through, challenged himself, and began to move to the big screen.
Later, with his outstanding performance in the movie, he won many awards, what to act like, many of his works are known by everyone who can open their mouths, and his reputation in the circle is also very good, and he was crowned as a movie king in 2013.
Various awards have been soft, which proves that he has gained a firm foothold in the film industry, and his cross-border development this time is also successful.
From this point on, his "ambition" is not satisfied with this, he is no longer satisfied with just being an actor, and is ready to start his second crossover - directing.
In 2013, he started forming his own company and investing in films.
The first movie "Breakup Master" that he personally starred in and participated in was launched, and the results were not satisfactory.
Thunder's makeup, the actor's barely able acting skills, the plot is not novel, because it is a new director, and with Yang Mi's traffic blessing, in the end, it only received a poor box office, which is not too ugly.
The first stop was not ideal, he did not give up his dream of directing, and in 2015, he starred in the movie "Villain Angel" with his wife.
This movie comedy is even more miserable than the last one, and the score on Douban has reached a new low, and the outside world is also full of bad reviews.
The audience is also looking at the husband and wife co-starring, and the box office has not broken through compared with the previous one, but it still lowers the audience's expectations for comedy movies.
In the face of the bad reviews of "bad movies" from the outside world, he briefly sobered up, and then turned around and plunged into variety shows.
In the recording of reality TV shows, his comedy talent was released freely, broken English, and various memes, completely subverting the image of a decent student in the TV series and bringing a lot of joy to the audience.
During the time when he participated in variety shows, Deng Chao rarely filmed TV series, and his main energy was on the main battlefield of variety shows.
By participating in variety shows, his popularity quickly returned, and unfortunately he was invisibly given a shackle, as if no matter what he played, everyone still stayed in the variety show image of a running man.
This is fatal for an insider who debuted as an actor, after all, he had been acting for 14 years before participating in the recording of reality TV shows, and he was covered by a short variety show.
After spending a while in variety shows, in 2019, he quit the program group and made a comeback to transform into a producer, after all, he also has to plan for the future in middle age, and his director's layout has begun to be on the agenda again.
Will he succeed this time?
As early as 2017, he and his partner had already discussed and confirmed the theme of sports competition, which coincided with his main focus on "Running Man" at that time, which was pushed until 2019.
During the preparation of "Chinese Table Tennis", he also made a lot of efforts, interviewing nearly 100 active and retired athletes, collecting a lot of materials.
In order to restore every ball in the event, the actors were trained for a year, and some actors also deliberately gained 30 pounds in order to be able to restore the prototype.
During the preparation of Deng Chao and his partner, the two also quarreled over how to better shoot works.
In the cast, there is a super IP to help.
It can be said that the entire film crew has paid a lot for this.
Then again, as directors and actors, this is what they should do, but some shots they can choose to use stand-ins, and they still insist on exercising on their own, in order to give the audience the most realistic presentation on the camera, and at the same time worthy of the sport of table tennis.
However, it is indeed difficult for this movie to be released smoothly, and looking back at the release process of this movie, it has really experienced various twists and turns.
In September 2022, major movies are seizing the National Day schedule, and "Chinese Table Tennis" certainly cannot be missed.
At that time, all the staff thought that it would be released on National Day, but the holiday ended and no movie was released.
This is the first time it has been withdrawn.
Soon ushered in the end of the year, with the liberalization of the epidemic, the film market also ushered in a turnaround, and coincided with the Spring Festival, and it was a sure thing to be released on the first day of the new year.
The Spring Festival file is a period when all movies are-for-tat, so it cannot be neglected at all in publicity.
Deng Chao began to rack his brains to promote the movie, and this time in order to attract the attention of the outside world, he brought his son and daughter to the publicity scene.
The effect worked, attracting attention, and the family made headlines in major media entertainment pages.
The whole family's dispatch was only a small action, and he also used a very wide range of network resources in the circle.
At the film promotion scene, the good brothers helped not to say, the avatars on their social platforms are all movie stills of Deng Chao.
The above publicity methods are just a piece of cake, in addition, he has gathered a number of charismatic stars, friends in the circle he has worked with, table tennis national players, and collective forwarding of movie promotional copy.
The movement is so vast, it has successfully attracted everyone's attention, and the official has begun to announce it.
As a result, it is yellow again, and the reason for the external explanation is that the content needs to be adjusted.
Publicity stalled, and the release date was postponed from the first day of the first lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month, which was the second withdrawal.
After the launch on February 17, the competition of major films has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no chance to arrange films for him, at this time, he no longer has any advantages, and the box office is very dismal.
A movie, withdrawn 3 times, repeated fanfare consumes the enthusiasm of the audience.
His film has also become a work that the audience avoids, even if his previous acting skills and personality charm have been blurred.
In the entertainment industry full of variables, there are many newcomers, and there is no shortage of good works, and everyone's eyes have turned to more excellent works.
This time Deng Chao's film was released, the battle line was very long, which shows how much financial pressure he has, but the audience will not repeatedly pay for other people's mistakes on the same issue.
This society is realistic, whether it is a famous actor or an ordinary person, "people walking tea cold" is very common, the only thing the parties have to understand is to learn self-knowledge.
I hope that after experiencing these many changes, he will be able to be reborn and redefine himself.
