I believe that recently everyone has brushed a short video of Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan arguing, which is from the plot section of the movie "Wuhai".
Although this is the "breaking point" publicity means of the movie, in just over a minute of video, it does catch the "eyeballs" of many audiences, especially Huang Xuan's performance, which makes many men "feel sorry for him", and in the video, Huang Xuan and Yang Zishan's "quarrel scene" is completed in one go, vividly.
It is reasonable to say that such a "wonderful" reality movie, the overall performance should be good, but what is surprising is that "Wuhai" has a reputation but no box office, released on October 29, originally scheduled to "small target" 3 days to break 100 million, but as of November 3, 2021, "Wuhai" has been released for 6 days, and the current total box office is only 8.495 million. At present, the major theaters have only given "Wuhai" only 5% of the films, and with this performance, "Wuhai" may not even reach the box office of 10 million.
Just today, Zhou Ziyang, the screenwriter and director of "Wuhai", posted a long article on his personal Weibo "Asking for Help"
In addition to talking about the difficulties encountered in shooting "Wuhai" and what this "Wuhai" wants to express, the young director Zhou Ziyang is even more "explosive": in order to make "Wuhai", he invested all his decades of savings into this film. In the face of this highly likely "blood loss", Zhou Ziyang can only "make a final effort".
The film mainly revolves around the male protagonist Yang Hua (played by Huang Xuan), who lives in the small city of Inner Mongolia, Wuhai, telling the story of him being forced into a desperate situation by reality in just three days:
Because of the failure of his business, he had no money to redeem the house and car he had privately mortgaged (purchased by his father-in-law and mother-in-law), and he had no face to face his wife's family when debtors frequently came to harass him.
In order to repay the debt, Yang Hua took the only money to do business with his friends, who knew that he was deceived again, and was deceived by his friends to help him ask for an account, which was a female college student who borrowed a naked loan.
Once, Yang Hua's relationship with a naked female college student was misunderstood by his wife, Yang Hua also seemed to find his wife cheating in the driving recorder, the two people at the dinner table quarreled, facing his wife's number of falls, trampling, and finally Yang Hua angrily left home.
The naked loan girl had a mental breakdown and committed suicide by cutting her wrists in front of him, and Yang Hua indirectly killed her. He also realized that he was a wronged man, and his friend had already embezzled the money he had invested. At this time, the news of his wife's pregnancy came, and he not only did not have joy, but was suspicious...
Marriage cracks, family face loss, friendship in the face of interests to be torn apart, career has not been established on the collapse, the experience of women's university is even more direct to the heart, 3 days, Yang Hua seems to have tasted the "life of all kinds"...
Why did "Wuhai" encounter such a situation?
It is also strange to say that Zhou Ziyang is also a young director who "debuted at the peak", and the "old beast" of that year swept through major awards at home and abroad, and was also rated as "the fiercest young director".
There is nothing wrong with the "Wuhai" theme this time, and the flat-headed brother has also watched it, and this movie is quite good. Including many industry peers have given "Wuhai" a very high comment.
But why is Zhou Ziyang's "Wuhai" not "welcomed" by the audience? Brother Pingtou inadvertently saw the comments of some netizens in Douban, as if he had found the "answer": should he find Huang Xuan to star? (Seriously, Pingtou Brother thinks Huang Xuan is one of the most underrated actors in China)
At the premiere of "Wuhai", Huang Xuan said: "I don't want to play such a sad thing again, because Yang Hua in Wuhai is a role I can't bear, and I was really touched by a letter from the director when I agreed to play." ”
In fact, Huang Xuan really did not exaggerate, not every actor can interpret the role of Yang Hua
There are several highlight clips in the movie "Wuhai": the quarrel between Yang Hua and his wife, the hysterical laughter of burning the tent, and the fierceness of knocking his wife off the cliff to the end of regret and crying, these scenes transition all the way, and completely "force Yang Hua, an ordinary little person, to a desperate situation".
Huang Xuan's body has some "unspeakable" characteristics, and it feels that it "coincides" with the role of Yang Hua, so Huang Xuan interprets the suffocating feeling that a middle-aged man cannot break free in the predicament.
Brother Pingtou has always believed that Huang Xuan's "crying drama" is very powerful
In "Fanghua", when he learned that his comrades-in-arms were saved, he shed "tears of excitement"
In "Only Yun Knows", he is helplessly separated from his lover, and what he sheds is "hidden tears"
In "Golden Age", in the face of the death of a friend, it is extremely sad, and what is shed is "heart-wrenching tears"
This time in "Wuhai", it is always forced to a desperate situation again and again, and what is shed is "tears that tear the heart and lungs"
Even if Huang Xuan plays his acting skills to such a degree, he still can't escape the "fate" of no audience popularity.
Huang Xuan, who sits on the "top" resources, why can't he carry the box office, can't become a superstar, and really makes the flathead brother puzzled?
Huang Xuan has cooperated with "famous" big directors over the years: Zheng Xiaolong in "Red Sorghum"; Lou Ye in "Tuina"; Xu Anhua in "Golden Age"; Chen Kaige in "The Legend of the Cat Demon"; and Feng Xiaogang in "Fanghua". Saying that he has no acting skills, then why are so many top directors "fighting" to let him play the male number one!
In particular, Feng Xiaogang, who is known for his "pickiness", has praised Huang Xuan several times in his films.
There is also "Kaiye" Chen Kaige, who designated Huang Xuan as the male protagonist of "The Legend of the Cat Demon" that year, and repeatedly praised Huang Xuan in front of the media for his dedication and good acting skills.
Seriously, among the male artists of the same age, such a resource is definitely him
Whether it is a movie or a TV series, Huang Xuan is almost without exception "male number one", and popular male and female stars such as Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Tang Wei, Duan Yihong, Qin Hao and so on have all played a supporting role for Huang Xuan.
Originally, according to Huang Xuan's acting skills plus his anti-heavenly resources, it should not be difficult to want "big red", but Huang Xuan and the real "big red and purple" is so far away.
Huang Xuan's experience made him "just want" to keep a low profile
Huang Xuan is one of the most low-key male stars in the entertainment industry, he never hypes, no scandals, variety shows he never on, and Huang Xuan also set a rule for himself: after every time he shoots a play, he must give himself a vacation, rest for a while, and recharge himself. ”
Some people said that Huang Xuan was not worthy of the resources he had, and it was true
Because he always wants to "take it slowly", but many resource opportunities are instantaneous, and there is no more, but Huang Xuan is as buddhist as always, and he does not argue and follows the encounter.
In 2007, Huang Xuan embarked on the road of acting, and no one appreciated him as a fledgling, relying on his father in Beijing for a long time to live by borrowing money from the company every month. Huang Xuan once became anxious and autistic, silent.
That year, Huang Xuan has experienced: career failure, his father's death, his grandparents have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, falling out with school teachers, breaking up with his girlfriend, in just one year, Huang Xuan has tasted the "despair" brought to him by life.
It was hard to get out of the haze, and at the age of 34, he was "teased" again and again.
The role of Jay Chou in "Full of Golden Armor" was originally won by Huang Xuan, but in the end he was abandoned by Zhang Yimou with "no popularity".
The role of the "Ocean Paradise" article was originally set to be played by Huang Xuan, but in the end it still did not enter Jet Li's "legal eye"
At that time, the role of Qin Hao in "Rizhao Chongqing" was first set for Huang Xuan, and it was only a week before the start of filming that he learned that he had been released again, and this time there was no "reason".
After seeing all the "rules" and tasting the disappointment, Huang Xuan knew how to follow fate in despair and collapse.
Huang Xuan: Others laugh at me for being too "crazy" I laugh at others for "not being able to see through"
Even if Huang Xuan later became famous, he still "followed" his own way to shoot, would not expose himself madly for fame and fortune, and did not "pick and choose" because of the abundance of resources, and every role he identified would be carefully interpreted. Perhaps the audience thinks that "Huang Xuan can't get up", maybe it's just that Huang Xuan himself doesn't want to "get red", because some things that are too red are "not up to you".
