In 2015, Xu Zheng invited his old partner Wang Baoqiang to play the protagonist of "Hong Kong 囧", but he resigned, brother, I plan to act in the movie of Si Chengge, and I can't take time for the time being. Xu Zheng smiled.
Let Bao Bell replace him, but after this play, the former golden partner has no cooperation. In 2010, the small-budget film "Man on the Road" directed by Ip Wai Ming earned 36 million at the box office with an investment of 7 million.
This is also the first time that Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang have cooperated to see xu Zheng who can make a lot of money in making movies and start to transform into a director to make movies. Because people are on fire on the way, the audience is looking forward to the next step, so Xu Zheng resolutely raised money to shoot his debut film.
It is only because Xu Zheng is a director for the first time that many people are not optimistic. So in the end, Xu Zheng only raised 30 million yuan in investment, and the filming location was also selected in Thailand. For the actor side.
In addition to looking for his old partner Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng also thought of the film emperor Huang Bo. For the addition of Huang Bo, there are also some small episodes in the middle. At first, Huang Bo wanted to find Wang Xun to play, but only because Wang Xun had a temporary problem.
In the end, there was no way but to go to Huang Bo, but at that time, Huang Bo was busy with other scenes and did not have time to shoot Xu Zheng's scenes. But Xu Zheng did not give up, and followed Huang Bo for a while before and after the saddle, and Huang Bo finally agreed softly.
Before filming began, Huang Bo saw that Xu Zheng had no money, and only asked for three million films, while Xu Zheng gave Wang Baoqiang two million films. Later, in the shooting picture of "Tai 囧", Huang Bo saw that Xu Zheng's thirty million was almost spent.
There are still millions to go before it can be filmed. At this time, Huang Bo saw the business opportunity, and Xu Zheng said that he used the three million pieces of remuneration for investment, and Xu Zheng agreed to Huang Bo's participation in the shares in the form of film remuneration.
Later, when the film was released at the box office of 12.6 billion, Huang Bo only exchanged 3 million investment for 50 million dividends, which suddenly doubled more than ten times. Wang Baoqiang saw the dividends of others and moved his heart.
Unfortunately, Wang Baoqiang, who is also the protagonist, does not have this vision. However, when Xu Zheng wanted to shoot "Hong Kong 囧", he found Wang Baoqiang again and offered to give him five million films. But after the lesson of the last time, Wang Baoqiang learned to be obedient.
He made a request to Xu Zheng, which was rejected by Xu Zheng and his wife, and Xu Zheng quickly prepared a second movie when he made a lot of money because of the movie "Tai Yuan". Before the filming of "Hong Kong 囧" started, Xu Zheng's first thought was Wang Baoqiang, but Wang Baoqiang learned the lesson of the last time.
He proposed to Xu Zheng and his wife that he hoped not to pay the film, but to invest 10 million yuan and take 10% of the box office dividend. Xu Zheng and his wife felt that their profits would be much less in this way, and they did not agree. Wang Baoqiang saw that the dividend was no play.
So he rejected "Hong Kong 囧". In the end, Xu Zheng found Bao Bell to play.
Subsequently, when wang Baoqiang and Ma Rong's affairs were boiling over, the good brother Xu Zheng did not support Wang Baoqiang for the first time. And Cheng Cai in "Soldier Assault" immediately transferred three million to Wang Baoqiang.
Get him through it. After this incident, Wang Baoqiang naturally began to cooperate with Chen Sicheng. This cooperation Chen Sicheng is very sincere, he also let Wang Baoqiang into the investment in the "Chinatown Detective" case series.
Wang Baoqiangguang took more than two hundred million yuan in dividends, but xu zheng was a world apart. Therefore, Wang Baoqiang will often say that Chen Sicheng understands me better, after all, Chen Sicheng promised to give Wang Baoqiang a salary, but also promised to give him a five percent box office share.
Chen Sicheng's move is not the same as Huang Bo's investment in Xu Zheng's "Tai 囧" with film remuneration. He did not let Wang Baoqiang give up the film remuneration, the implication is not to let him take risks, which is enough to make Wang Baoqiang very moved.
In fact, long before Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng became golden partners in the series of movies, he and Chen Sicheng met because of "Soldier Assault". That will be Chen Sicheng also for the transformation of the director.
Wang Baoqiang did not get into a mess, and there was a promise between the two brothers that no matter which side had a more prosperous career in the future, they must not forget to help each other. So many viewers saw such a scene. When Wang Baoqiang successfully finished from the "Tai 囧" crew.
Knowing that Chen Sicheng was preparing for a new movie, he rushed over to make a contribution for his good brother, and did not hesitate to reduce his salary. However, this incident also made Xu Zheng unhappy, and after Wang Baoqiang refused to play Hong Kong, Xu Zheng expressed dissatisfaction with this. As an old partner who has worked on two films, Wang Baoqiang's temporary change of battlefield has indeed caught him off guard, and many painting styles have to change.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the play that although Bao Bell replaced Wang Baoqiang's position in the end, there are many details in the play that Xu Zheng designed according to Wang Baoqiang's style in the previous films.
So after the actors changed, the feeling was naturally changed a lot. But if you look at it from the perspective of development, Wang Baoqiang's original choice is still not wrong. After participating in "Detective Chinatown", Wang Baoqiang successfully entered the front line with Tang Ren.
The combined commercial value soared to 45 million, nearly twelve times higher than the 3.5 million ten years ago. But Xu Zheng also revealed in an interview that even if Wang Baoqiang's future value is high, the film remuneration will be more.
Nor will he invite collaborations. It can be seen that since the farewell of "Tai 囧", the former golden partner is still a broken relationship. In the entertainment industry where interests are the first, many things are unbelievable, and later some people ridiculed Xu Zheng about this matter.
Asked him why he said that he would no longer cooperate with Wang Baoqiang? Xu Zheng said sleekly and humorously, no matter how high the box office is, I will not use Wang Baoqiang again. Because Wang Baoqiang's acting skills are too good, as long as he is there, others will not pay attention to me.
Behind this joke, how much heartache we don't know. Others asked Wang Baoqiang why he did not make "Hong Kong 囧", but cooperated with Chen Sicheng. Wang Baoqiang of the Tang Detective series said that I think Chen Sicheng understands me better.
This sentence is obviously more honest. However, the reason why Wang Baoqiang embarked on the road of comedy, Xu Zheng can also help him a lot. It is a pity that Wang Baoqiang, who has reached the peak of his career by comedy, directed and acted in a New Year film.
After "Big Trouble Tianzhu", but not as lucky as Xu Zheng, the box office is very dismal, can only say that Wang Baoqiang is still suitable for being an actor,
I want to learn from Xu Zheng's development in directing. He still has a long way to go.
But then again, a grassroots star has all kinds of noble support along the way, and he has won countless awards. Wang Baoqiang is still very lucky at this point.
