Preface: After the first director's work attracted a scolding in the market, Wang Baoqiang did not give up his dream of directing, and after six years of careful polishing, he handed over the perfect answer sheet of "In the Octagon Cage" this year, which is not only an end to his years of hard work, but also tells everyone that a momentary setback did not break him, and the invincible Wang Baoqiang is back.
- The lucky one in the eyes of others
Compared with the glamorous entertainment industry, Wang Baoqiang's existence seems so out of place. When he won multiple awards with "Blind Well", there were still many people singing about him, feeling that his success was like a shooting star that would soon fall to the bottom, and in 2004, after "No Thief in the World" came out, it seemed to tell everyone, yes, my Wang Baoqiang luck is very good.
But what many people don't know is that this luck in the eyes of others is actually the result of his years of hard work, as a child of a peasant family, influenced by Jet Li's movies, Wang Baoqiang ran to the Shaolin Temple when he was not much older, at this time he regarded Jet Li as his goal, he wanted to change his fate by relying on his kung fu and become a kung fu superstar like Jet Li.
However, with a passion in the entertainment industry can not stay up, after coming out of the Shaolin Temple, Wang Baoqiang has been running tricks in Beijing to make a living, during that time, he often heard others ridicule themselves, they think that as a small group performance, Wang Baoqiang has not systematically learned acting, will definitely not succeed, but Wang Baoqiang did not admit defeat, he knows that only by believing in himself can he persevere, even if it is self-hypnosis, he must think that the current predicament is temporary, and the future will eventually come out.
Unlike the well-known actors, the work of group acting is particularly monotonous, there is work to perform, the rest of the time is to wait, wait for the director to find himself, so that he can play a trick, but Wang Baoqiang is not willing, has been circulating in various crews, find a gap to send the director a business card, which made him "lucky" to meet the movie "Blind Well" at the age of 21.
- Forrest Gump among the actors
In the movie, Forrest Gump relies on continuous research on one thing and eventually succeeds, and Wang Baoqiang is the same. As the pinnacle of Wang Baoqiang's acting skills in the eyes of fans, "Hello! Mr. Tree" is definitely the most special role in Wang Baoqiang's acting career, and he has proved to everyone with his acting skills that he can not only play a fool, he can also play some extremely challenging roles with a very layered sense, and the whole performance process does not show the slightest trace of deliberation.
When talking about Mr. Shu smoking, Duan Yihong, the representative of the class actors, did not hide his liking for this work, he believes that when performing, many actors want to act too much, a simple action, can't wait to make a lot of tricks come out, Wang Baoqiang's Mr. Shu is very different, he just keeps a state unchanged, making people feel that Wang Baoqiang was Mr. Tree at that time.
Throughout the works starring Wang Baoqiang, it is not difficult to find that he is a real "drama face", no matter what the image of the role he plays, he can hand over a perfect answer, and all kinds of roles have been played, maybe some people's impression of him is still stuck in the years of "Blind Well", but he has been focusing on his business ability as an actor, otherwise, there would be no Mr. Tree.
Third, get out of the trough of life
In the entertainment industry, excellent actors often open up a second battlefield after doing their job, and the director is their most frequently chosen, but unlike the talent of Chen Sicheng's good friend, Wang Baoqiang's "Big Trouble" was released, causing netizens to scold, feeling that this movie is four different, it is difficult to find out the shining points that attract the attention of the audience.
Indeed, "The Big Trouble" is like a stitching monster, mixing all the popular elements of the film market at that time, but the consequence is that none of the elements attract the audience. At the "Golden Broom Award" that year, "Big Trouble" was rated as a bad film, and in this case, no one expected that Wang Baoqiang would personally be present to accept criticism.
After receiving the award, Wang Baoqiang frankly admitted that his debut novel had many shortcomings, and apologized to the audience for this. It's just that Wang Baoqiang's heart has actually been holding a breath, he wants to prove himself, "In the Octagon" is his answer, he made a trade-off among the elements that the audience likes, and chooses the points he is good at as much as possible, which allowed him to successfully fight a turnaround battle.
Conclusion: Octagonal cage as a fighting project, the purpose of the two sides is very simple, that is, to use audience fighting skills, defeat the opponent in front of them, only in this way can you smoothly get out of the octagon, "Octagonal Cage" for Wang Baoqiang, not just a movie name, because he is also in an octagonal cage in these six years, but this opponent is himself. Only by defeating the self of six years ago can Wang Baoqiang really get out of the trough, and fortunately, he really did it this time.
