are all self-directed and self-acting, Wang Baoqiang's box office is super Huang Bo Xu Zheng, and the iron triangle gap of "Thai" has appeared

2012's "Thai" is undoubtedly a milestone at the box office of domestic films.

In 2010, the mainland box office of "Avatar" broke through 1.3 billion, which was also the first 1 billion-level blockbuster in the mainland film market, and the box office champion of domestic films at that time was still the 700 million box office of "Painted Skin 2", and the gap between domestic films and Hollywood looked difficult to surpass, when domestic films saw Hollywood blockbusters were looking away, and "Thai" changed all this.

After 11 years, the iron triangle of "Thai" has become a superstar, basically the king does not see the king!

On December 12, 2012, the production cost of only 30 million "Thai" was released, no one was optimistic about this small-cost comedy before, Xu Zheng is just a TV series actor, almost no box office hit, although Wang Baoqiang is famous, but before 2012 because of his appearance almost no commercial blockbuster male protagonist, Huang Bo did not stand firm as a first-line actor.

Plus this is Xu Zheng's first self-directed and self-acting, in that era, actors cross-industry as directors are still a new thing, the market and the audience are bottomless.

Unexpectedly, the movie won 1.27 billion box office and almost caught up with "Avatar".

Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo soared into the sky, truly establishing their status in Chinese comedy and being known as the Iron Triangle.

It has been 11 years since "Thai", and the mainland film circle has also circulated legends of the six box office superstars of the Mesozoic Dynasty, among which Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo have all entered the six major middle school students, which shows the high influence of "Thai".

Interestingly, after "Thai", Audio-Technica has hardly made a movie together.

"No Man's Land" and "Heart Flower Road" are Xu Zheng plus Huang Bo, "Big Trouble" and "A Good Show" are Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's directorial debut with each other, "A Good Show" Xu Zheng made a cameo appearance, but unfortunately all were deleted in the end.

There seems to be a bit of a king not seeing a king between the three.

Since the three are all members of the Tens of Billions of Actors Club, the main ones are comedies, which will naturally be compared, especially this year's Wang Baoqiang's "In the Octagon Cage" box office hit, making Huang Bo and Xu Zheng a little lonely.

are all self-directed and self-acting, Wang Baoqiang box office super Huang Bo Xu Zheng, "Thai" iron triangle gap appeared!

I have to say that after "Tai Yan", Huang Bo once developed the best and became synonymous with high emotional intelligence in the entertainment industry, and for a while the social platform was Huang Bo's wonderful words, and even starred in Xing Ye's comeback work "Journey to the West", and also filmed the romance film "101 Proposals" with Lin Zhiling, and commercial blockbusters continue to make Huang Bo the first 10 billion actor in Chinese.

"Tai Yan" has the highest bonus to Xu Zheng.

Let Xu Zheng, a second-tier actor, become a top Chinese director, "No Man's Land", "Heart Flower Road", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and other excellent works are frequent, and as a producer and producer and producer, Xu Zheng has long become a predator of film capital.

Wang Baoqiang was once not optimistic because his image was too solidified.

After "Thai", although there are super blockbusters such as the "Detective Chinatown" series, they are basically funny performances such as pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, except for "Detective Chinatown" there are no more impressive works, and in 2019, "The New King of Comedy" is a word-of-mouth box office double pounce, self-directed and self-acted "Big Trouble", compared with Xu Zheng's first directorial work "Tai Yan" and Huang Bo's "A Good Show", the word-of-mouth box office gap is too large.

But overall, Wang Baoqiang still relies on his super audience popularity and does not fall behind in the iron triangle.

Unexpectedly, in 2023, Wang Baoqiang counterattacked with a "Octagonal Cage".

As Wang Baoqiang's second self-directed and self-acting work, the market did not expect much from "In the Octagon Cage" before its release, and even many film media predicted that the final box office of "In the Octagonal Cage" was 5.6 billion, but I didn't expect that the movie had an excellent reputation, and the box office broke through 1.376 billion on the 10th day of release, surpassing the box office of 1.355 billion "A Good Show" directed and starred by Huang Bo.

On the 13th day of release, the box office exceeded 1.615 billion, surpassing Xu Zheng's self-directed and self-acted "Hong Kong" with the highest box office of 1.611 billion.

Of course, Xu Zheng definitely can't be regarded as a platter movie like "Me and My Hometown" and "Me and My Motherland". Xu Zheng has also been controversial in recent years, after "Love Myth" in 2021, there have been no new films for the male protagonist for two years, and the production of "My Heart Soars" has become a box office tragedy in 2022. was supposed to star in Zhang Yimou's "Just Defense".

But the male protagonist of the movie has become Lei Jiayin, and it seems that Zhang Yimou is also afraid that Xu Zheng's negative controversy will affect the box office.

Huang Bo really does not have a commercial film that can really hit in recent years, and the box office of movies such as "Mozart in Outer Space", "Winning the Championship" and "The Man Taken by the Light" is not as expected, but this summer, Huang Bo has three blockbusters "Fengshen the First Part", "Warm" and "Learning Dad", can it prove that the box office appeal is worth looking forward to!

And "In the Octagon Cage" not only proves Wang Baoqiang's audience popularity, but also allows more audiences to see Wang Baoqiang's acting skills.

Wang Baoqiang's previous "Blind Well" and "Hello! Mr. Tree" acting skills are extremely good, but the box office is not good, many ordinary audiences do not know, have always thought that Wang Baoqiang's image is fixed, I believe that this time "In the Octagon Cage" will have more audiences see Wang Baoqiang's diversity.

It has a great impact on Wang Baoqiang's subsequent development.

Now it seems that in the 11 years of "Thailand", Iron Triangle divided the victory and defeat, and Wang Baoqiang had the last laugh.
