Back then, a "Thai Embarrassment" made Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang known as the "Iron Triangle of Comedy".
Unfortunately: the entertainment industry has always been a circle where interests come first.
The "Iron Triangle", which was popular all over the country in the past, has long since gone to one side of the road.
Before filming "Thai Embarrassment".
Xu Zheng fell into the cold winter period of his career.
Tao Hong also revealed that her husband made movies not to make money, but to make a living.
Because at that time, there was no director who was willing to use Xu Zheng.
In desperation, he chose to gamble on all his net worth to "fight against the water".
But even if you scrape together 30 million, it's still far from enough.
Fortunately, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both saw his difficulties.
They have expressed their willingness to lower their prices.
only helped Xu Zheng shoot with a salary of 2 million.
Although the friendship in the snow is very valuable.
But it is still not enough for Xu Zheng, who is already exhausted.
When halfway through the shoot.
Xu Zheng's funds once again showed a red light.
In line with the idea of helping others to the end, Huang Bo said that he could not be paid.
You only need to give yourself 10% of the dividends of the final movie.
As everyone knows, this act of kindness became the fuse of the crisis in the relationship between the three later.
"Thai Embarrassment" broke the historical record of Chinese film history in one fell swoop.
The box office of 1.27 billion sent Xu Zheng to the stage of a capitalist.
And Huang Bo also got nearly 50 million dividends.
The other half of Wang Baoqiang looked at his 2 million salary and fell into deep thought.
It is said that there is meat to eat with the eldest brother.
But only his little brother didn't even smell the broth.
What makes Wang Baoqiang even more chilling is still to come.
After that, Xu Zheng was ready to seize the opportunity of the film market.
The "Embarrassment" series will continue to be extended.
He also found Wang Baoqiang again and asked him to play the male lead.
But this time, Wang Baoqiang learned smartly.
He followed Huang Bo's example at that time.
said that he didn't want to be paid, as long as 10% of the final dividend.
He even made a request for his own capital contribution.
But this is not what it used to be, Xu Zheng is no longer the poor director who was overstretched back then.
thought that a salary of 2 million could invite a male lead.
Suddenly faced with tens of millions of dividends hemorrhage.
Xu Zheng rejected his old friend.
After that, Xu Zheng found Bao Bell to replace him.
And Wang Baoqiang took the olive branch handed by Chen Sicheng.
The friendship between the two was gradually washed away by interests.
Although from the standpoint of the two.
None of their choices are reproachable.
But there are still many inappropriateness in speculating about Xu Zheng's approach.
In fact, it was not a righteous act for Huang Bo not to be paid back then.
Rather, it's gambling on the luck component of an investment.
If the film is successful, he will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
If the movie is not successful, he will sell his friends a favor.
On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang's experience is too shallow.
I didn't expect this level, and I missed an opportunity in vain.
But the biggest mistake is Xu Zheng's consideration.
is reasonable, after the great success of "Hong Kong".
Xu Zheng should give Wang Baoqiang something in return.
But he didn't.
not only did not restore the original salary, but also rejected Wang Baoqiang's request for shares.
It seems that he has no intention of taking Wang Baoqiang to make a fortune at all.
To put it more ugly, that is, he didn't take Wang Baoqiang seriously.
After that, the intersection between the two became less and less.
After Wang Baoqiang befriended Chen Sicheng, he directly embarked on a new peak in his life.
Not only has the acting career been newly expanded.
Even when he was betrayed by his wife and agent.
There is also Chen Sicheng on the side to help.
But Xu Zheng paid the price for his unkindness.
Since "Hong Kong", Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang have left one after another.
The disintegration of the Audio-Technica has made the Embarrassment series no longer have the golden signboard of the past.
Although Xu Zheng did not choose to sit still.
found Bao Bell and Jia Bing to save the field.
But it's a foregone conclusion that the building will collapse.
The word-of-mouth of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" and "Embarrassment Mother" have also hit the streets one after another.
Xu Zheng also offended the entire film market for a time.
At that time, in order to seize the market opportunity.
Xu Zheng advanced "Mother" to the schedule of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chen Sicheng directly posted an article satirizing that someone had done something that damaged his peers.
Then Xu Zheng sold "Embarrassing Mother" to ByteDance.
Directly convert theatrical movies into online broadcasts.
Although it made a lot of money.
But it can be regarded as offending his peers.
And Huang Bo, who has always seemed to be on the verge of contradiction, is not much better.
Although after "Thai Embarrassment", he climbed Stephen Chow's lap and starred in "Journey to the West".
But after that, it began to decline.
Equally unwilling to sit still, he also decided to enter the field of directing.
directed and acted in "A Good Show".
Helplessly, the audience didn't buy it.
Fortunately, he was disgraced with "Crazy Aliens".
became the first actor in China to exceed 10 billion at the box office.
But this seemingly glamorous movie did not help his career in any way.
In desperation, Huang Bo decided to follow Wu Jing's example.
has filmed several movies with the main theme.
However, he didn't realize that the main theme movie was not the key to turning over.
"My Motherland and Me", which promotes the patriotic melody.
"Winning the Championship" with a sports theme.
and the anti-epidemic theme of "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter".
None of them allowed him to break through his limit.
He also went to Chen Sicheng when he was sick and rushed to the doctor.
Chen Sicheng's ability is undoubted.
His Chinatown series and "My Hometown and Me" are well-known.
Only the "Outer Space" series is a failure.
was also regarded as a lifesaver by Huang Bo.
As a result, his film career is getting bigger and bigger.
I had no choice but to change the track and go to the TV drama circle to get a Bo.
The results were also unsatisfactory.
"The Right Way to Open Your Life" is Huang Bo's debut in the TV drama circle.
obviously has remarkable acting skills, but he has become the target of complaints in this drama.
From tens of billions of actors to no drama to film.
Huang Bo's glorious era has also begun to come to an end.
In the past, only Wang Baoqiang had the last laugh in the "Iron Triangle".
Epilogue:
Grassroots background but sincerity is Wang Baoqiang's nirvana.
Especially in this circle where interests are paramount, it is even more precious.
I look forward to him continuing to shine in the film market in the future.
