Preamble:
This year's May Day can be described as a "hardcore" competition, with various film and television works gathering in theaters, bringing an audio-visual feast to the audience. In this wave of fierce competition, what has attracted much attention is "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" starring Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo, which has become one of the first choices for many fans to watch the film with its super high reputation and popularity as soon as it was released. It is reported that the box office of the film on the first day exceeded 27% in one fell swoop, which can be described as a gratifying result, and it is also expected to become the biggest winner of May Day. However, despite the good results, the word-of-mouth performance of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" has been questioned, which also makes the future trend of the film full of uncertainties, and behind all this, it is inseparable from Wang Yibo, one of the leading actors.
1. The reputation of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" has been questioned, which may affect the development direction of Wang Yibo's film
Although "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" has achieved good results on the first day, its reputation is not satisfactory, many viewers think that the film's storyline lacks novelty, the production of large scenes is not amazing enough, and the actors' performances are also "decent", these factors have caused the film's reputation to decline to a certain extent. And behind all this, the starring Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo have naturally become the focus of discussion, especially Wang Yibo, whose performance in the film field has always attracted much attention from the outside world, and this "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" is the key work of its "turnaround".
Judging from the current situation, although the word-of-mouth of the film has declined to a certain extent, it has not had much negative impact on Wang Yibo's image, however, if the word-of-mouth performance of the follow-up film still cannot be effectively improved, it is likely to have a certain impact on the future development direction of the film. Wang Yibo's performance in the film field has always been controversial, although many of the films he participated in have achieved good results at the box office, but the reputation is not very optimistic, which also makes his image in the minds of the audience have a certain "positioning deviation", coupled with the setback of the reputation of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", this undoubtedly gave Wang Yibo a "wake-up call", and also made him need to make some reflection in his future acting career.
Judging from the current situation, the improvement of the film's reputation is not an overnight thing, and in order to truly gain the recognition of the audience, it is inseparable from high-quality works, therefore, Wang Yibo may be able to put more effort into the selection of films in the future, try some challenging roles, or participate in some literary and artistic films, through his sincere performance and professional acting skills, to slowly change the audience's perception of it, and then expand his development space in the film and television industry.
Second, "People" has been on the record for a long time, which may imply that Wang Yibo has doubts about its commercial attractiveness
In addition to "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", Wang Yibo's other film and television work "Mermaid" has also attracted much attention from the outside world, however, there has been little progress in the project since it was promoted, and there is still no news of start-up, which also makes many fans full of doubts about the development of the project. In a sense, the long-term filing of "The Mermaid" may hint at some problems, the biggest of which may be that investors have certain doubts about the commercial attractiveness of the project, and Wang Yibo, as the male protagonist of the project, has naturally become the focus of speculation from the outside world.
In the current competitive environment of the film and television market, it is not easy to succeed, and the producer of the film naturally hopes to stand out from the crowd, so there will naturally be certain "criteria" when choosing the actor, of which commercial value is a crucial point. As a powerful actor, Wang Yibo's performance in film and television works is naturally not a problem, but his commercial value has always been controversial, especially at the box office.
Therefore, it can be speculated that the investor may be waiting for the market to "test" Wang Yibo, hoping to verify his commercial attractiveness through the performance of his follow-up works, and then decide whether to start the filming of "The Mermaid". Of course, for Wang Yibo, this may also be a "test", but also an "encouragement", whether it is "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" or its follow-up film and television works, it will become a "display stage" for its performance ability and commercial value, and it also needs him to prove himself with practical actions and win the recognition of the audience and the market.
Epilogue:
Whether it is film and television works or individual actors, in the current era of diversification, diversity and personalization have become the mainstream needs of the market, and the audience's expectations for film and television works are getting higher and higher.
For Wang Yibo, perhaps the current film and television market is not very "treats him", but this does not hinder his development direction and development space, I believe that through his unremitting efforts and professional performances, he will be able to gain more love and recognition from the audience, and I also expect him to respond to this era with practical actions and bring more excellent film and television works to the audience.
