In 2003, Feng Xiaogang was preparing to shoot "No Thief in the World", and the male and female protagonists set Up Lau and Rene Liu.
However, the "silly roots" in the film have not yet landed.
When Feng Xiaogang was distressed, someone recommended Wang Baoqiang to him.
After watching his "Blind Well", Feng Xiaogang came to him and said, you have to shoot for three months, you should think about it.
Wang Baoqiang did not hesitate, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Andy Lau is my idol, I can shoot with him, I will wake up laughing in my dreams." ”
After waiting for the crew and seeing Andy Lau, Wang Baoqiang could not hide his excitement and directly gave Andy Lau a "kneeling".
Andy Lau was stunned and immediately returned Wang Baoqiang.
The "kneeling ceremony" of the two once became a "good story" in the circle.
None of the people present at this time thought that this silly-looking stunned young man would be China's most inspirational 10 billion film emperor in the future.
In his private life, Andy Lau around him is not as rich as him.
Because of his grassroots origin, coupled with the "silly root" role in the early movies, Wang Baoqiang is an "honest man" who does not understand anything in the minds of many people.
Before divorcing Ma Rong, everyone thought it was the story of beautiful school flowers and rural boys;
But regardless of the appearance, this is clearly a story of Cinderella and a billion movie emperors.
After the Ma Rong East Window incident, Wang Baoqiang was indeed very innocent, but he didn't let the other party get a little benefit, did he?
After co-shooting the "囧" series with Xu Zheng, the two were in a mess, but eventually they gradually drifted apart.
In front of Xu Zheng, a smart person, Wang Baoqiang also has a way to ensure that the interests are maximized.
After thinking about many things, perhaps everyone will realize that Wang Baoqiang is actually not as "stupid" as everyone thinks.

Around the 1980s, Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" was all the rage, and Wang Baoqiang watched the movie countless times in the open-air cinema in his hometown in Henan.
From this time on, the idea of being a film actor sprouted in his mind.
If he wanted to become a person like Jet Li, he certainly couldn't do martial arts, so he went to the Shaolin Temple in Henan and became a layman's disciple.
Here, he also has a good friend named Shi Xiaolong.
After completing his studies, the teenage Wang Baoqiang began to run around the major drama crews in Beijing, casting business cards and running dragon sets.
At that time, his life was very difficult, like many people who drifted north.
The taste of the damp and dirty basement and instant noodles, he knew better than anyone.
Sometimes there was no drama for several days, he would move bricks, clean the glass for others, and get 20 yuan a day.
It is this 20 yuan, he does not dare to waste, all of these "investment" to the print shop, their own photos and introductions are printed out, convenient for others to find the dragon set when contacting themselves.
Once, the director of the crew asked him if he had any special skills, and Wang Baoqiang vacated the venue to show a white crane with bright wings.
The director covered his mouth and smiled and said, "It should be no problem to play a si corpse who knows martial arts." ”
But Wang Baoqiang did not give up because of shame, but excitedly reported to his family that he had become an actor.
In this way, Wang Baoqiang started from the shi body and slowly became the leader of the extras, as long as he saw the director, he went to hand over the business card.
Wang Baoqiang is still worried about the days of life, Chen Sicheng, who comes from a high-cadre family, was expelled from the drama because of fighting with others.
It was not until two years later, when Chen Sicheng wasted the strength of the nine bulls and two tigers, that he successfully entered the Central Academy of Drama.
After that, Chen Sicheng exerted his own artistic cells, relying on a mouth that would coax people and artistic charm to attract the love of teachers.
In 2002, Chen Sicheng, who was still in his junior year, was nominated for the Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Award for his film debut "Judge's Mother".
A year later, Wang Baoqiang also ushered in an opportunity.
Director Li Yang is preparing to make a movie, and the male number two needs to go down to a mine 100 meters deep, and the actors do not want to take risks and have "run away".
Even the producer ran away, and Li Yang could only become a producer, inadvertently flipping to Wang Baoqiang's previous business card and thinking he was very suitable.
Upon inquiry, Wang Baoqiang had learned kung fu, and the role was finalized.
The first time he played the male number two, Wang Baoqiang was also a little flattered, and after a scene was filmed, he got a reward of 2,000 yuan, which was much more than when he ran the dragon set before.
And what he didn't expect was that there were still prizes to be won!
That year, on the podium of the Golden Horse Awards, there was a new film with a thick face.
At this time, Ma Rong had just graduated from high school and was learning to host broadcasting at the School of Journalism and Communication of Northwest University, and the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55">02</h1>
Wang Baoqiang's first appearance in "Blind Well" also allowed people in the film industry to discover the "baby".
Because at that time, everyone thought that the star should have a good image and good temperament, and there were too few actors like him who did not look proud and had a rural temperament.
Sure enough, after "No Thief in the World", Wang Baoqiang became a hit, and he was also signed by Huayi Film Company.
Because he is honest and can talk, Liu Reuying recognized him as a "younger brother" and took good care of him, and after that, he had good resources and did not forget to introduce him.
After that, Wang Baoqiang no longer had to go around looking for dramas before.
Subsequently, he was favored by director Kang Honglei and starred in "Soldier Assault" in Xu Sanduo.
In the crew of "Soldier Assault", Chen Sicheng and Wang Baoqiang had an intersection for the first time.
In 2006, tv dramas spread across the country, Wang Baoqiang and Chen Sicheng have become first-line actors, and Huayi has also taken advantage of the situation to include Chen Sicheng under his command.
Two people are not only colleagues, but also brothers.
After the people became popular, Wang Baoqiang's popularity also improved, and he was invited to the program by many TV stations, and he and Ma Rong met unexpectedly.
The first time they met, the shy Wang Baoqiang felt his heart blush and felt that he had met the goddess of life.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that although he has good luck in his career, in terms of women, he really can't.
In 2007, during the promotion in Chongqing, Wang Baoqiang publicly said that he had a crush on a girl and had begun to pursue her, and the other party was still a broadcast host professional.
Although the name was not revealed, the media found Ma Rong by clues.
By 2011, Wang Baoqiang was already married and had children with her when he promoted the new film in Beijing.
Always low-key, he also staged a marriage proposal on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
During this period, Chen Sicheng has completed the transition from actor to director.
Originally, he wanted to act well and be a good actor, but after shooting more than a dozen plays, he became more and more depressed.
He has his own ideas, but the directors don't understand themselves and always don't get red.
Once, his teacher Wang Lina comforted him: "Your identity is an actor, you have to listen to the director's words, you have opinions, you have to wait until you can decide." ”
In a word, let him Mao Sai open, why can't I be a director?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="82">03</h1>
In 2012, "Beijing Love Story" was broadcast on David TV and was a great success!
For this movie, Chen Sicheng took pains to not only pull up the old partner of "Soldier Assault", but also invited friends such as Yang Mi and Zhang Xinyi.
Fortunately, after the TV series was broadcast, not only did Chen Sicheng win many awards, but even the TV theme song became a popular song circulating in the streets.
Many people did not expect that this TV series was directed by Chen Sicheng, nor did they expect that he had such a great ability as an actor.
A careful investigation showed that behind Chen Sicheng, there was Wanda supporting him.
In that year alone, the drama "Beijing Love Story" made Wanda harvest hundreds of millions.
At this time, Wang Baoqiang was not badly mixed.
In 2010, in Ye Weimin's "Man on the Road", the combination of Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng had a wonderful chemical reaction.
A film with an investment of only 7 million yuan ended up at the box office of 37.63 million!
With this movie, Wang Baoqiang's value has doubled, and people have also discovered his own funny talent.
Xu Zheng, who has been in the film circle for many years, saw the business opportunity and immediately found someone to write "Tai 囧", which swept 1.2 billion at the box office.
In a situation where everyone was happy, Wang Baoqiang was not happy.
Because when he participated in the exercise, Xu Zheng's budget was not enough, and Wang Baoqiang lowered his salary.
Later, the film box office was so high, Xu Zheng did not give him a penny.
About a year later, Xu Zheng took the script of "Hong Kong 囧" and decided to create a "囧 series", and he bid 5 million yuan to invite Wang Baoqiang to star.
But Wang Baoqiang, who had already suffered a loss once, had a long memory and put forward a condition:
0 film remuneration to star, plus investment of 10 million, box office dividends as long as 10%.
This headache turned to Xu Zheng, referring to the box office of Tai Yuan, Xu Zheng was not very willing, and the two people did not disperse happily.
After that, the two never worked together again.
Coincidentally, at this time, Chen Sicheng, who was involved in the film field through the film version of "Northern Love", took the script of "Detective Chinatown" and found Wang Baoqiang.
In fact, the reason why Chen Sicheng was able to impress Wang Baoqiang was mainly because of two things.
First, it is a generous remuneration, high film remuneration + box office dividends.
Second, when "Tang Detective 1", the investor was not satisfied with Wang Baoqiang's role as the male protagonist, and it was Chen Sicheng who tried to exclude public opinion and insisted on keeping him.
It is also said that this movie is tailor-made for Wang Baoqiang, if like other movies, the mode reaction of small fresh meat + large production must be bad.
In fact, cooperation is like two people in love, Chen Sicheng gave Wang Baoqiang a great sense of security.
He is also really powerful, in the 2016 Lunar New Year file, "Tang Detective" won 800 million box office, and Wang Baoqiang became the biggest highlight.
However, just when Wang Baoqiang was proud of the spring wind, his backyard caught fire.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="118">04</h1>
In 2016, the divorce war between Wang Baoqiang and Ma Rong was on the verge of breaking out, and a divorce statement set off a wave of discussion on the whole network.
The reason for the divorce, which surprised everyone, was that Ma Rong and her agent Song Zhe had an extramarital affair.
A divorce war that lasted for several years.
At that time, Wang Baoqiang's assets were frozen, and he didn't even have the cost of hiring a lawyer, or Chen Sicheng directly transferred 3 million yuan to him, and attached a message: Brother come on!
This grace, Wang Baoqiang wrote down.
In the end, Song Zhe was successfully "sent" to prison by Wang Baoqiang, and Ma Rong's reputation was also in a mess, becoming the object of ridicule on the whole network, and there was no place to turn around.
After that, Wang Baoqiang kept a lot of low profile, and rarely appeared in public except during the release of the film.
Chen Sicheng's dripping grace, Wang Baoqiang gushed springs to repay each other, and since then the two have been deeply bound and sincerely cooperated.
In 2018, "Tang Detective 2" won 3.4 billion at the box office;
In 2021, "Tang Detective 3" earned 4.5 billion at the box office.
This proves Wang Baoqiang's commercial value even more, although Ma Rong has been a demon, but the long guns and short cannons of netizens are enough to defeat her.
Career is booming, word of mouth continues to rise, shortly after the "marriage war", Wang Baoqiang also has a new girlfriend Feng Qing to accompany.
Everything seems to be under control...
In the tug-of-war that lasted for several years, Ma Rong frequently made trouble, and Wang Baoqiang's mother was frightened and fell ill, and died within half a year.
To everyone's surprise, a new girlfriend appeared at the funeral and entered the public's field of vision.
It was too late to wonder about her identity, but it was the behavior of Phi Ma Dai Xiao who won her a lot of goodwill from the outside world.
Because at the same time, Ma Rong is still playing around with her daughter, so in comparison, everyone is feeling happy for Wang Baoqiang.
Later, after a deep pickpocket, everyone found that this Feng Qing was not small.
She is a native of Shandong and has a well-to-do family, and after graduating from high school, she moved to the University of Berkeley in the United States for further study.
During school, because of her tall stature and good looks, she also went to participate in the selection of Miss World.
In addition to her beauty, she also has her own career, and is now the executive director of Chihiro Phantom Technology Co., Ltd., with several companies under her name.
After the love affair with Wang Baoqiang was exposed, Feng Qing was much bolder, and the two often went in and out of the studio together, looking very affectionate.
But at the same time of happiness, the outside world still has many suspicions about her.
As netizens continue to dig deeper, Feng Qing's various negative news is also very loud.
First, he was picked up by netizens in a photo of a nightclub, and the photo of Feng Qing's revealing clothes was very different from what he looks like today.
Subsequently, it was revealed that the three companies under their names were all in an abnormal state of operation, each with its own problems;
One of them, which is still in debt, has been outstanding.
Moreover, Feng Qing's American Berkeley education has also been pulled out to be fake, in fact, she is only a graduate of a secondary school in Qingdao, and she can spend money to go to.
A series of black materials broke out, and Feng Qing and Wang Baoqiang were indifferent, and there was no intention of responding positively.
It can be seen that the "new sister-in-law" Feng Qing does not seem to be a good stubble, and even some people say that Feng Qing is "the second Ma Rong."
I don't know, is all this still in Wang Baoqiang's grasp?
