67-year-old Pan Changjiang, like Jackie Chan, just refuses to accept old age!
As we all know, Pan Changjiang's main job is a sketch actor, and he can be seen every Spring Festival Gala in the past few years.
In the past few years, in addition to running major galas during the Spring Festival, the side hustle has kept him busy.
Before the Spring Festival, Pan Changjiang launched two comedies in one go, one is "Doubao County Order" starring He Yuan Qiongdan and Cai Ming, and the other is "Five Feet Detective" with Xiao Xu and Fan Shaohuang.
In the two online movies, he is the first actor, although the box office did not explode, but he will not lose money, because he has a group of loyal fans.
According to this trend, there is a chance that Pan Changjiang will be able to fight to You Benchang's age.
As another actor in "Panga's Friend", Xie Mengwei, of course, is not idle.
Recently, the new film "Fire Line Resistance" starring him landed on the streaming platform.
So, what was the box office and trend of the film's premiere?
Can quality help Xie Mengwei's reputation reverse?
Let's listen to Brother Brown's interpretation as follows:
1. Split the box office.
On April 23, the box office of online movies was released, and the market won a total of 2.17 million, with a decent performance.
The top three are "Fire Line Sniper", "Embroidered Spring Knife: Infernal Purgatory" and "Strange Knife".
Zhang Jin's martial arts movie "Strange Knife" is made according to the theatrical movie, with a budget cost of 30 million, and the cumulative box office in 53 days is only 9.26 million, and the loss of 20 million is a foregone conclusion.
Compared with Xie Miao's "No One in My Eyes 2" and Chen Guokun's "Thug in a Suit", Zhang Jin did lose badly this time, and to be honest, this script is indeed unsatisfactory.
imitated Zhang Yimou's "Hero" only learned some scratches, and more importantly, it did not show Zhang Jin's most brilliant martial arts skills, so it is no wonder that the audience did not buy it.
The runner-up was "Embroidered Spring Knife: Infernal Purgatory", which got 420,000 in a single-day box office in 4 days after it was launched, with a total box office of 3.11 million.
In the long run, it is expected that the total box office will exceed 20 million, and some of the investors of the film are Luyang's Free Cool Whale Pictures and Wu Jing's Dengfeng Pictures.
It is an online movie of "Embroidered Spring Knife" IP under the authorization of Lu Yang, and the previous two "Embroidered Spring Knife" have suffered a little loss, Lu Yang is unwilling, and he will continue to do this IP.
"Fire Line Blocking" premiered with 680,000 yuan and won the championship, and the popularity on the day of its launch was on par with "Embroidered Spring Knife: Infernal Purgatory", but the film reviews were surprisingly poor.
Compared with Zhang Jin's previous "Wolves", the difference is not a star and a half, it is simply a world of difference, and word-of-mouth will definitely drag down the follow-up box office, Brother Brown believes that the final box office of this film will be between 4 million and 5 million.
According to media reports, the production cost of "Fire Line Resistance" is 8 million, and it stands to reason that it should not be profitable.
But the director replied to netizens: "If it reaches 2 million, we will earn 1.8 million." ”
Whether there is any other unspeakable income involved is unknown.
2. Film reviews.
"The Line of Fire" has undergone a name change.
In 2021, the box office of "Life and Death" starring Li Youbin will hit 26.66 million, which makes many directors who make online movies greedy.
On April 20 last year, the film was launched in Nanhua County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and the name of the online project was "Secret Battle Jungle".
The actor invited is Xie Mengwei, who is famous for playing Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", as well as Lu Peng, Zhang Di, Han Feifei, Du Le, Wang Yiduo and other actors.
Among them, Lu Peng, who plays Kazuki Yamamoto in "Bright Sword", plays the role of the villain.
In addition, in order to achieve the publicity effect, director Zhou Jing also invited two Internet celebrities, one is Chen Feiyang, and the other is Guizhou Little Viagra.
Judging from the costumes of "Fire Line Blocking", the background of the movie is set in an overhead area in Southeast Asia, which is the same as Xiao Yang's "Manslaughter" and Zhu Yilong's "She Who Disappeared".
Song En, played by Xie Mengwei, was originally an anti-narcotics policeman, but in an operation, he was fired for illegal operations, and it turned out that his superiors arranged him to go undercover.
20 years ago, Song Eun's father was doing the same job, but the task was not completed, and he died at the hands of drug lord Su Kun (played by Lu Peng).
This time, Song Grace will be counted together with new hatred and old hatred.
The quality of the movie is hard to describe!
Rotten manifests itself in three ways:
The first aspect is that the plot is made up, and all kinds of unreasonable things make people unbearable to look at directly.
In the first 20 minutes, the high-energy opening and three-way scuffle, Song Eun finally completed the second undercover work and successfully broke into Sukhumvit.
There is a fire and escape scene, where the flying dragon played by Guizhou Xiao Viagra shoots wildly with "Gatling" in the car, while Song En and Sukhumv, who are close at hand, are unscathed.
Later, Sukhum used a bazooka to blow up Song Eun's colleague's car, and they turned out to be fine.
There is also a scene that proves that he is not an undercover agent, which is even more incredible.
Susie, our staff played by Zhang Di, was fooled into the jungle by a note, Song En and the villains stood there openly, and Susie appeared in front of them alone.
A discerning person sees that this is a bureau, doesn't Susie know?
Song En is even more powerful, in order to save bullets, he used his throat lock kung fu to stun his colleague Susie, and the second boss took pictures on the spot and sent the boss to confirm that Song En was his own person, shouldn't she be probed if she still has signs of life at this time?
Even if you don't probe, it's always okay to make up for a few cuts, but unfortunately, I didn't do anything, so I left.
What's even more unbearable is that Song En, played by Xie Mengwei, was chased by two girls.
On the one hand, a female colleague never forgets her love, and she has no past love intersections, but she saved her once and delivered a meal when she was usually training, and Susie fell in love and couldn't extricate herself.
On one side, Sukhumvit's daughter Mina wants to throw her arms on her. What I want to say is that Song En is Wang Yibo, Zhu Yilong, or Xiao Zhan? Is he very handsome?
At a glance, who is still interested in that kind of obscenity?
The two girls are really hungry!
The second aspect is to imitate Wang Jing's vulgarity.
After Wang Jing went north to the mainland, he made a lot of bad movies, and his favorite thing to do is to make some particularly vulgar scenes in the movie, such as exposing his thighs, low cut, and how vulgar he is.
Some time ago, Lou Yixiao touched porcelain and Maggie Cheung starred in "New Dragon Gate Inn", which was complained by netizens because of showing her thighs.
The director of "Fire Line Blocking" can be regarded as having learned Wang Jing's routines, and there are two particularly vulgar scenes in the movie.
One is that the second master made trouble in a nightclub and ran to Xi Shi's house after escaping, and the other is Meina's birthday party, taking the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss to Song En.
Thirdly, there is no concept of time.
You see that in "Hurricane", An Xin played by Zhang Yi, white hair and black hair are immediately different from the past.
There is also "The Long Season", Wang Xiang played by Fan Wei, from the costumes, the audience can tell the age span at a glance.
And what about "Wire of Fire"?
What did Sukhumvit look like 20 years ago, what will it look like 20 years later, nothing has changed anyway, it can fool the audience too much.
Susie was locked in the cloakroom one second and arrived in the jungle the next, is this Doctor Strange just drawing a circle?
There are countless such unreasonable plots, and after watching the movie, Brother Brown feels bad, shoddy, rotten out of the sky, and only worthy of one star.
3. Xie Mengwei was ridiculed by the group.
Maybe the filmmaker knew that the movie was very bad, so "Fire Line Resistance" did not do any publicity and distribution work, announced the finalization on the 22nd, and met with the audience the next day, changed the title, everyone didn't know, so that the Douban entry hadn't had time to create.
After two days of painting, some viewers have already tried it, and most of them must have the same feelings as me, in addition to spraying this movie too badly, the audience's main attention is still on Zhang Gazi Xie Mengwei.
Unexpectedly, Xie Mengwei is bound to be ridiculed by the group this time!
The group ridicule is also divided into three parts.
First of all, the movie itself is too embarrassing, are you embarrassed to mock Meng Wei?
Xie Mengwei, born in 1989, like Xie Miao, Hao Shaowen, Shi Xiaolong, Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi, and Gao Junyu, a reader girl, all made their debut as child stars.
In 2004, he was well-known for playing Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and he was only 14 years old when he filmed that TV series.
When he became an adult, his appearance was not so pleasing, he was different from Semyon, who could interpret all kinds of roles, and his appearance was both good and evil.
And Xie Mengwei's first impression gives people a kind of obscenity, no matter how he interprets it, it always makes people feel that he is the villain.
In "The Line of Fire", Xie Mengwei pretends to be cool and handsome, and when he fights, he always feels that he looks at the camera from time to time, and in the face of the villain's temptation, he is pretending to be at a glance, which is particularly embarrassing.
may have coped with that sentence, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed!
Secondly, the group ridiculed him for selling alcohol before.
After the fire of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Xie Mengwei became famous overnight, and he also filmed a lot of scenes later, but he participated in it as a supporting role, and there was no tailor-made script for him, so it gradually dimmed.
As a child star, he himself has a certain degree of popularity, relying on his previous fame, he will take advantage of the trend, and he will definitely gain a lot from doing online live broadcasts, you see Jia Nailiang and Hao Shaowen selling goods, and they have made a lot of money.
Xie Mengwei chose the track of selling wine.
But the wine he sells is often complained about, although the price is cheap, but the manufacturer always plays with words, some names are one word difference, or the production address is in the same place, it is called the same wine.
Just like the dried plum vegetables sold by Brother Xiao Yang, the quality is questionable. Xie Mengwei sold a lot of inferior wine to fans, and some fans couldn't find out drunk driving after drinking and driving.
In "Fire Line Blocking", there is also a plot of Xie Mengwei driving to rescue the villain, the car drove steadily, and some people ridiculed: he must have drunk the wine he sold.
In the end, the group mocked him for stealing dogs.
After Wu Jing succeeded in doing "Wolf Warrior 2", Xie Mengwei also wanted to follow suit.
He used his and his wife Guo Shanshan to set up more than a dozen companies, with a wide range of businesses, the most eye-catching is Beijing Gazige Culture Media Co., Ltd.
In 2022, the company and a number of other companies announced that they would jointly create a super action blockbuster "Tough Guy Sniper", with a total investment of 800 million, and the theater box office will be benchmarked against Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", starring Jiang Yisheng and Xie Mengwei.
Since there is a new film project, it must be announced, and soon after, the filmmaker released a shooting tidbit, Xie Mengwei took the props, ran forward with a hunchback, and also aimed at the camera a few times.
It's this tidbit clip, and it's on fire.
Some netizens said: Xie Mengwei's "patrol" action is the same as stealing dogs in the countryside.
So, the secondary creation began to spoof like crazy, in addition to stealing dogs, stealing watermelons, stealing pigs, and stealing all kinds of things, Xie Mengwei was played badly, and completely became the object of ridicule by everyone.
Gazi not only did not get angry, but also tightly grasped this wave of traffic, and he shot a number of similar short videos that became popular again, such as stealing ducks.
After that, the number of people online for his live broadcast soared to tens of thousands, and his popularity exploded!
Gazi's mentality is really good, no matter how everyone laughs at him, he always regards this as traffic, the so-called "black fans" are also fans, and he will convert these people into objects of heat.
is like the author, Brother Brown, I am contributing heat to Xie Mengwei.
Fourth, Pan Changjiang woke up the dreamer.
During the time when Xie Mengwei was selling goods in the live broadcast, the popularity was indeed very high.
He once said without hesitation: "Live broadcast sales make more money than being an actor, for example, 20,000 sales, almost more than 2 million gross profits, I can take 10% of the commission, I can earn 200,000, and these can only be achieved in 10 minutes." ”
It's not so good to be an actor, starting work is the same as going to work, sometimes filming night scenes, you have to stay up late, and after a day of exhaustion, you can earn more than 1,000 yuan in salary.
In those years, in addition to selling alcohol, he also sold various goods, such as watches, mobile phones, etc.
He often broke the news during live broadcasts, claiming that he had two houses in Beijing and changed his wife to a million-dollar luxury car.
During the release of Wang Baoqiang's movie "In the Octagon Cage" last year, he said that Wang Baoqiang had no money to make a movie, so he lent him 100 million yuan in two installments.
Some people say that he is rubbing the heat, plus running the train with a mouth, what I want to say is, if you don't have a little confidence, who dares to say this in the live broadcast?
At least he is many times stronger than ordinary salaried people, and it can be seen from his more than a dozen companies that Xie Mengwei is indeed worth a lot of money.
Did he rely on him to act for all this wealth accumulation?
Obviously not, live streaming makes a lot of money.
But the good times didn't last long, and after being reported for selling alcohol, his live broadcast business plummeted!
When he was depressed, Pan Changjiang came.
This time, a new term was coined - Pangar's Friend.
Pan Changjiang connected with Gazi in a live broadcast and said to Gazi: "Everything on the Internet is virtual, I'm afraid you can't grasp it, child, because the water here is very deep......"
At that time, Xie Mengwei was moved, and even snorted and cried, as a senior, this is a sincere teaching.
Later, Pan Changjiang also sold wine, which is a later story.
Xie Mengwei has rarely started live broadcasts since 2022, I believe that Pan Changjiang's words woke up the dreamer, selling goods can indeed make a lot of money, but it is virtual after all, and if there is a small problem, it may be fatal.
There are two examples to demonstrate.
One is the "lipstick brother" Li Jiaqi, during the live broadcast, because of "Sometimes look for your own reasons, after so many years, has the salary risen, have you worked hard?" overturned.
There is also Brother Xiao Yang, after the dried plum vegetables he sold were exposed by the 315 CCTV party, the popularity of the live broadcast showed a cliff-like decline, and now he has begun to lay out the short drama industry and slowly seek transformation.
Therefore, Xie Mengwei, who was awakened by Pan Changjiang, began to transform as early as two years ago.
In addition to laying out his business empire, the old profession of acting must not be left behind.
It was learned that he has established a number of film and television dramas, and he is no longer the actor Xie Mengwei who is praised by capital, but like Wu Jing and Stephen Chow, he set up his own company and invested all his way to build it.
Now, Gazi has completed the transformation from actor Xie Mengwei to capital Xie Mengwei.
V. Conclusion.
However, then again, I still can't get Xie Mengwei's acting skills.
If he specializes in playing a villain, he may be able to make a splash, such as Li Zixiong, Luo Jialiang, and Zou Zhaolong, who are big villains at first glance, and can make people remember the characters even more.
Or you can only be an investment producer and not participate in the on-camera work, which is okay.
Although "Fire Line Blocking" won the championship, the reputation is too bad, and such a reputation will have a great impact on Xie Mengwei, I suggest that Gazi will have to work hard in choosing the script in the future.
You see, Qin Hao and Chen Xiao, they rarely appear in bad movies, and every drama can be a big hit by word-of-mouth.
I believe that over time, the capital Xie Mengwei will be able to transform gorgeously!
