Wang Baoqiang is domineering and returning!
Many netizens have said: Baoqiang, how many surprises you still have are unknown to "Xuan"!
Following the divorce storm, Wang Baoqiang has rarely appeared in front of the public, many netizens have been talking about it, thinking that Wang Baoqiang was hit and couldn't stand up, however, what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Baoqiang held back a big move, if he didn't make a move, it was already a blockbuster, no wonder Baoqiang smiled brightly.
There are really too many high-quality films in the recent summer vacation file, "Disappearing Her", "Super Family" and a super "dark horse" Wang Baoqiang directed and acted in "In the Octagon Cage", (I don't know if you have seen it, you can discuss it together in the comment area!) ）
Anyway, the editor has been looking forward to this drama for a long time, as early as mid-June, there was a hot search came out, and the comment area was watery: Wang Baoqiang, good! This couldn't help but make the editor curious, so I went to search for the cause of the matter.
Wang Baoqiang appeared on the hot search in an alternative way this time, and finally it was not because of emotional problems, but his new movie "In the Octagon Cage", this movie Wang Baoqiang directly starred in the mountains children, and he wanted to help these children get out of the mountains.
When filming, in order to pursue realism, there was a scene where only half a steamed bun was needed, and the staff broke off half of the children's steamed buns, and one of the six-year-old children gobbled up half of the steamed buns into their mouths, and Wang Baoqiang saw that they were reluctant to waste even half of the steamed buns, and they burst into tears directly.
Netizens read the messages one after another:
"Baoqiang has never changed, he is still the one with the heart of the child."
"Suddenly sad, support Baoqiang's new movie".
"They are all from bitter children."
"Children are not acting, they are life".
"I will definitely support the release of this movie."
Many netizens said that for the sake of these poor children, they also wanted to support this movie, but they found an unexpected joy, this film is worth it!
Actor turned director?
"In the Octagon Cage" The script of this film, Wang Baoqiang, carefully polished for five or six years, and he also personally investigated the field, thinking that he only started shooting after achieving his ideal goal, and he was determined to bring the best works to the audience and put in all his efforts.
After the "Trouble" that "won" the Golden Broom Award six years ago, Wang Baoqiang has always felt guilty, he feels that he has failed the expectations of netizens for him, and also failed the enthusiasm of the audience, so this "In the Octagon Cage" cost all of Wang Baoqiang's efforts and savings, and he has always had a thought in his heart, that is, he must hand over a satisfactory answer to the audience.
However, the frustrated Baoqiang did not exchange for the pride of the workplace, on the contrary, when preparing for this movie, Wang Baoqiang hit a wall everywhere, and when he held the most satisfactory script to pull investment, he was rejected by a water, why is this, Wang Baoqiang did not break the law, and did not break any black material, even if the original "Big Trouble" hit the street, it does not prove that Wang Baoqiang is not good.
After several turns, Wang Baoqiang finally found the reason, it turned out that these investors felt ridiculous as soon as they saw that the script was a realistic theme, Wang Baoqiang a comedian to direct and act in a realistic movie, no investor dared to believe him.
Wang Baoqiang, who ran into walls everywhere, was not discouraged, not only that, he also posted a Weibo, saying that he would also complete the filming of the movie, and then mortgaged the house and car, and took out all his savings to prepare for a "big gamble".
However, Wang Baoqiang, who was swept away by his ex-wife and most of the family property, did not expect that filming would be so expensive, and the few remaining family assets could not last until the end of the filming, but fortunately, Baoqiang was well-liked, and Chen Sicheng extended a helping hand to him at the most difficult time to help Wang Bao through the crisis.
So what kind of script can make Wang Baoqiang so optimistic, and smash pots and sell iron to shoot? Let's see together what kind of surprise Baoqiang, who has been pushing the script for six years, will bring us!
When the audience cast their gaze to the protagonist of "In the Octagon Cage" to Tenghui, many people couldn't help but think of the image of Wang Baoqiang, and in the end, Xiang Tenhui won the victory, and Wang Baoqiang also fought a beautiful turnaround, probably, as Baoqiang evaluated himself, the realistic theme is indeed a comfortable performance field for him.
Observing the emotions shown by the male protagonist of "In the Octagon Cage" to Tenghui, one can't help but recall Wang Baoqiang's experience, from a small achievement at the beginning, to a sudden change in the middle, and finally ending with deep hidden merit and fame, this similarity is amazing.
It is not accurate to say that "In the Octagon Cage" is Wang Baoqiang's return work, but it is more accurate to say that he integrated his personal experience into it and completely felt the hardships and counterattacks of the little people.
The reason why "In the Octagon Cage" can move everyone so deeply is because Wang Baoqiang has a deep understanding of the civilian Jedi counterattack, he is unique in this theme, no one can compare with him, this reversal battle under adversity, and only he can interpret such a wonderful effect.
Baoqiang fought a beautiful turnover
When Wang Baoqiang watched the finished film after filming "In the Octagon Cage", he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that he had overcome thousands of difficulties and finally reached his goal, recalling various difficulties in the filming process, such as continuous polishing of the script, difficult financing, inexperienced young actors, and difficult to gain weight... This road is really not easy!
Fortunately, the outcome of this bet was a victory, and he won.
Wang Baoqiang's sincerity and simplicity made the entire entertainment industry work hard to promote the movie, even if Chen Sicheng's movie is also being released, he does not shy away from it, and personally attended the scene to vigorously promote it for his good brother.
In addition, Wu Jing, Andy Lau, Donnie Yen and many other stars have spontaneously promoted "In the Octagon Cage", and what is more surprising is that Stephen Chow, who has not appeared for a long time, also stood up to speak for Wang Baoqiang, who was not only moved by the plot of the movie, but also burst into tears, and praised Wang Baoqiang as the best director in his mind.
Strongly supported by the stars, the film set off a box office frenzy on the first day of its release, exceeding 700 million at the box office in just 3 days, and amazingly, just 13 days later, the film exceeded the 1.6 billion box office mark.
According to the current box office trend, the average box office per day is about 780 million, so the final total box office is expected to exceed 2.5 billion, if the film explodes again in the next time, the box office number is calculated separately.
So, how much money can Wang Baoqiang get in the end?
Let's analyze the investors of "Octagon Cage" - there are only four companies in total, one of which is Maoyan Media, in addition, there are several "Wuxi Baotang Pictures", "Tumshuk Sunflower Pictures" and "Beijing Le Blossom Pictures", of which "Wuxi Baotang Pictures" and "Tumshuk Sunflower Pictures" account for the main share.
When some netizens who have studied Wang Baoqiang see this, they should be suddenly enlightened, Wang Baoqiang fearlessly uses "crushed bones" to describe the shooting, because he invested all his wealth in the movie.
The three companies are indeed closely related to Wang Baoqiang, which is a subsidiary of Wang Baoqiang and his brother's wholly-owned company, and Tumshuk Sunflower Pictures, which is a subsidiary of "Le Blossom", in short, equivalent to all the investors are Wang Baoqiang himself.
According to the current data available to calculate, the investment cost of this film should not be very high, without the use of expensive special effects or shooting methods, therefore, some netizens calculated that Wang Baoqiang's investment cost in this film is about 150 million.
Aside from some freshman actors who have no acting experience, other stars are participating out of "relationship", including Wang Xun also participated in order to help Wang Baoqiang shoot smoothly, so their salary is not too high, and the total may be several million.
The main share of the box office is still theaters, accounting for about half, and in the end, Wang Baoqiang's money is about 35% of the box office, and then remove the actor's appearance fee.
In general, Wang Baoqiang finally fought a beautiful turnaround this time, not only doubled his value several times but also became a recognized excellent director, even Stephen Chow was moved by "In the Octagon Cage", praising Wang Baoqiang not only as a good actor but also as a well-deserved good director.
Get rid of the title of director of bad films
It has been six years since Wang Baoqiang won the "Golden Broom" award last time, and in these six years, Wang Baoqiang finally handed over a satisfactory answer sheet and fulfilled his promise that year.
After experiencing the ups and downs of his acting career, now he has finally been able to surpass the strange shame and humiliation caused by the "golden broom" in the past, and the outstanding performance of "In the Octagon Cage" has not only been recognized by the audience, but also praised by countless directors, and even Cheng Qingsong shouted after watching the movie that Wang Baoqiang could return the "golden broom" that symbolized humiliation.
After 6 years of hard work and tribulation, at this moment, all the hardships suddenly became insignificant, Wang Baoqiang's gamble won very thoroughly, and he finally won the recognition he had been longing for.
Does Ma Rong want to get back together with Wang Baoqiang?
Recently, Wang Baoqiang's film "In the Octagon Cage" became famous in one fell swoop, at this time, his ex-wife Ma Rong suddenly appeared in front of the media and congratulated him: "Congratulations to the success of "In the Octagon Cage", congratulations to director Wang Baoqiang, and hope that he will not be confused by fame and fortune, always maintain his original intention, and do what he loves,"
Wang Baoqiang is a soft and simple person at heart, he and Ma Rong still have a pair of children, so will they have hope to reconcile? After the cheating incident was exposed, Ma Rong was widely criticized and abused, and now her cheating target Song Zhe has also been sent to prison, losing her source of income, and her life has not been smooth in recent years.
Many netizens said that Ma Rong was so disdainful of Wang Baoqiang at the beginning, and she was not even willing to say a word to Wang Baoqiang, but now Ma Rong took the initiative to send congratulations to Wang Baoqiang, which may mean that she hopes to get back together.
Considering that Wang Baoqiang's film has been a huge success and has attracted widespread attention, and Ma Rong's life has not been smooth in recent years, it is likely that he regrets it, and wants to take this opportunity to reconcile with Wang Baoqiang, so what does Wang Baoqiang think? Will he be soft-hearted?
Wang Baoqiang, as a kind and easily touched person, attaches great importance to his family, especially for his two children, and he will try his best to protect their happiness and stability, but the editor feels that Wang Baoqiang should not forgive Ma Rong.
Because in this process, he has not responded to Ma Rong's blessing, which also shows that he still has deep pain for what happened in the past, although he is a kind person, but considering the past hurts and experiences, he may not easily forgive Ma Rong.
He needs more time and space to think and balance his emotions, and whether to forgive Ma Rong in the end, only time can give the answer...
