It is estimated that many people do not know that Shi Xiaolong has a new movie released in the past few days, called "The Legend of Yan Chixia Hunting Demons".
However, because the box office performance is too bad, the total box office in the 2 days of release is only 22,000, which is almost the same as no audience. In order not to lose money to the sky, the filmmakers quickly withdrew from the cinema and urgently switched to online broadcasting.
The box office performance of 22,000 can no longer be described as "general", it is simply bleak to "can't bear to look at it". As the male protagonist in the film, Shi Xiaolong is obviously to blame, and it is obvious that the film side has taken a fancy to his fame and reputation, but it is obvious that his influence has not been as good as before, and he cannot bring the audience to buy tickets.
Remembering that 28 years ago, 5-year-old Shi Xiaolong was still an Asian superstar, and now 28 years later, he has become so appealless that he has even become "mud that can't support the wall" in the eyes of some people. In the past 28 years, what has Shi Xiaolong experienced?
This has to start from the time when Shi Xiaolong became famous.
Shi Xiaolong began practicing martial arts from an early age, and was already trained at the age of 2, while his father, Chen Tongshan, was responsible for taking care of him and acting as an agent.
When Shi Xiaolong was 5 years old, Chen Tongshan began to take over the role for his son, and the first work he took over was "Laughing Forest Boy", which later swept all over Asia.
Although Chen Tongshan felt that his son was very promising at that time, he never thought that just for his debut, Shi Xiaolong would be popular all over the country as soon as he debuted with his handsome and cute appearance and spiritful performance.
After becoming popular, Shi Xiaolong continued to take on a number of movies at the request of his father, including the well-known Xiaolin Boy 2 New Oolong Courtyard, Chinese Dragon, Invincible Anti-Fighting Star and many other classic works.
However, despite his growing fame, more often Than not, Shi Xiaolong was filmed at the request of his father, and he did not enjoy the feeling of acting too much. And he practiced hard almost every day under the supervision of his father, and performed on The Weah while shedding tears while filming scenes.
But the tears are flowing, and the road still has to go forward. After this, Shi Xiaolong, who was smooth sailing, continued to develop in the film and television circle, and gradually shifted the focus of his work to the mobile TV circle, and also took over many TV series such as "Young Bao Qingtian", "Oolong Breaks through the Love Pass", "Young Huang Feihong" and so on.
By the time Shi Xiaolong was 15 years old, he had already begun to get tired of all this work after a long period of immersion in the crew, plus he had been busy filming and had no time to study, so in 2001, after filming "Young Huang Feihong", Shi Xiaolong went to the United States and started his own study journey.
After 3 years, Shi Xiaolong, who has achieved success, returned to the entertainment circle.
However, at this time, the entertainment industry has already changed greatly, and his popularity has long since disappeared. Thirty years of Hedong And thirty years of Hexi, an artist left for such a long time without any news, whether it is fans or the market, in fact, he has long forgotten him.
Most importantly, after Shi Xiaolong grew up and matured through adolescence, the aura of his childhood seemed to disappear. Without heat and no high appearance, Shi Xiaolong returned to the entertainment circle after becoming an adult, and his situation became very embarrassing.
In 2010, Shi Xiaolong was electrocuted again to star in the movie "Ip Man", playing Zhen Zidan's apprentice in the film.
However, because of his thick appearance and some fatness, during that period of time, Shi Xiaolong was once ridiculed by the whole network, and everyone thought that he was crippled and no longer had the handsomeness and agility of his childhood. During that time, the Internet was full of doubts about Shi Xiaolong.
After this, Shi Xiaolong tried to work out in the past and returned to the screen in a better state. However, with the rise of various talent shows in internal entertainment, the influx of idol artists has increased, and they have almost divided up the resources of most of the young market, coupled with the rise of other mainland students, leaving Shi Xiaolong with pitifully few resources.
To put it bluntly, no one is willing to pay for the release of the little dragon.
So in the past few years, we can not see Shi Xiaolong appear in major popular film and television works, and Shi Xiaolong, who cannot get resources, has gradually begun to develop into network movies, and even pulls investment to do projects as directors and shoots network movies.
Of course, this is not a good way to transform. After all, entering the film and television circle development is to make money to live a life, since the road of being an actor is getting narrower and narrower, then changing the identity to participate in film and television projects may usher in a new career turnaround.
Most importantly, when Shi Xiaolong is good enough to do the project as a director, he can also direct himself and arrange for himself to personally shoot the action works he wants to shoot. At that time, maybe Shi Xiaolong can counterattack like Wu Jing did when he first filmed "Wolf Warrior 2", and the king will return.
In the past 28 years, Shi Xiaolong has gone from becoming famous as a young age to now at a low ebb, and in the eyes of people who do not understand the situation in the outside world, he is "mud that can't support the wall", and the career has not improved because he himself is not angry.
In fact, Shi Xiaolong has been working hard and constantly exploring the field of kung fu films he likes. Looking forward to one day, I can see this kung fu kid reinvigorate the glory of kung fu films.
