every step leaves its print—work steadily and make progress one step at a time


It is Wang Baoqiang’s step by step that The Octagonal Cage can achieve such excellent results.Six years ago, his directorial debutMake a scene in TianzhuWon the "Golden Broom Award", but surprisingly, Wang Baoqiang personally went to this award ceremony that countless creators could not avoid, and moved everyone present with sincerity: "This time I owe the audience one time. I believe that I will become a more qualified director in everyone’s mind if I study hard in the future."


This is a promise made by Wang Baoqiang to the audience, and the release of "In the Octagon Cage" has also enabled him to fulfill this promise.



In The Octagonal Cage, Wang Baoqiang, who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his comedy performance, picks up his old job again — — Action, and with a group of children to perform this work together.



In order to increase the realism of the film, most of the young actors in the film are children from mountain villages. In the tidbits released by the film, the picture of a six-year-old actor reluctant to part with a steamed bun made Wang Baoqiang shed tears. Perhaps seeing these children reminded him of himself.



The film "The Octagonal Cage" focuses on a group of little people struggling at the bottom of society. They refuse to admit defeat and accept their fate, and they constantly wave their fists at their fate with indomitable fighting spirit. Isn’t this a portrayal of Wang Baoqiang’s life?



In 1982, Wang Baoqiang was born in an ordinary farmer’s family in Hebei Province. He started practicing martial arts at the age of 6 and became a lay disciple at Shaolin Temple at the age of 8.


Wang Baoqiang as a child


In 2004, he starred in the movie world without thieves with Andy Lau and Rene Liu, in which a simple rural guy, Stupid Root, made the little-known Wang Baoqiang popular overnight.

Perhaps "stupid" people are blessed with stupidity. Wang Baoqiang, a newcomer to the entertainment industry, has established a profound friendship with Andy Lau and Rene Liu. When "The Octagonal Cage" was released, both of them helped Wang Baoqiang to promote the film, and they also sang promotional songs to help the film.



Xiaogang Feng, the director of world without thieves, was also moved by this sincere and simple rural guy that year. By chance, he recommended the role that changed his life to Wang Baoqiang — — Xu Sanduo in the TV series Soldier Assault, and this TV series successfully helped Wang Baoqiang usher in the spring of his career.



Although Wang Baoqiang, who was born in a non-professional class, encountered a lot of doubts in the early stage of the TV series, Wang Baoqiang performed the most vivid Xu Sanduo with the simplest acting skills by virtue of his super-high fit with the characters.



Duan Long, an actor who is also one of the leading actors, once praised Wang Baoqiang’s acting skills: "He can play whatever he wants in acting, and he can’t catch up at all, but what others play is good and natural."



A year later, Wang Baoqiang and Xiaogang Feng cooperated again after world without thieves, and made a guest appearance in the movie Assembly, in which he played the bridge where the sniper Jiang Maocai and the enemy tanks mutually died, which left a deep impression on the audience.



Subsequently, he appeared in many works in succession, and each role was polished with heart and constantly honed his acting skills. For example, when filming "Li Mi’s Conjecture", he would go to the vegetable market to learn the local people in Yunnan as soon as he was free, just to present a most authentic role to the audience.



Wang Baoqiang’s acting skills are in the movie Hello! Mr. Tree ushered in another sublimation, and the scene of his smoking in the film became a classic shot that fans talked about.



In 2010, Wang Baoqiang ushered in his transformation work — — The film "Man on the Road" with Xú Zhēng completely opened the comedy track in Wang Baoqiang.



In the movie, Wang Baoqiang created countless famous scenes that made people laugh, and the scene of drinking a large box of milk at one breath impressed many viewers.



After that, Wang Baoqiang collaborated with Xú Zhēng on "The Too Bad for People to Embarrass", which made Wang Baoqiang lose the simplicity of Xu Sanduo and Silly Root and added more clever comedy effects to the role.



The detective chinatown series, which cooperated with Chen Sicheng, followed closely, making Wang Baoqiang’s performing arts career flourish. In this series, Wang Baoqiang staged a great role change — — Play the grandiose and funny Tang Ren.



Absurd narcissism and lust for money seem to have a great sense of contradiction with Wang Baoqiang, but he once again showed the audience with superb acting skills — — Wang Baoqiang is what he plays.



Looking at it all the way down, it seems that most of the roles played by Wang Baoqiang are positive figures. But in fact, in 2014, he starred in an action movie "One Man’s Wulin" with Donnie Yen. In this movie, Wang Baoqiang played his own good action skills and played a great villain with stunts, Feng Yuxiu.



Today, the movie channel will also broadcast this wonderful action movie "One Man’s Wulin" for you. Let’s take a look at the different villain Wang Baoqiang.



The Wulin of "Two People"


"One Man’s Wulin" tells the story of Xiahou Wu (Donnie Yen), the martial arts coach, who was challenged by martial arts fanatic Yu Xiu (Wang Baoqiang) and set off blood shed in the Hong Kong Wulin.



This is an out-and-out hardcore martial arts movie. As a master of kung fu, Donnie Yen has been the quality assurance of kung fu movies. He played a martial arts coach of the police in One Man’s Wulin. When he was young, he was imprisoned for killing people by mistake. Now he stepped forward to help the police catch the killer, which is a typical decent image of "turning over a new leaf".



In the process of filming, high-intensity and high-density fighting once led to the recurrence of Donnie Yen’s old injury, but with excellent professionalism and professionalism, he still presented wonderful martial arts films for the audience. For example, at the beginning of the movie, Xiahou Wu beat 17 in prison, which is similar to the classic scene of "I want to beat ten" in Ip Man.



It is worth mentioning that, as the protagonist and martial arts director of the film, all the martial arts movements of Wang Baoqiang were tailored by Donnie Yen.The most heart-wrenching scene in the whole film is the scene of Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang fighting in the endless traffic.



Although it finally appeared in the film for only ten minutes, the crew filmed it for six weeks. At the same time, because shooting on the road, it is necessary to dispatch cars and need five or six cameras to cooperate at the same time. The crew finally spent 5 million yuan to shoot this wonderful fight.



Wang Baoqiang was already a minor celebrity actor when he appeared in One Man’s Wulin, but the murderous martial artist in One Man’s Wulin was sealed in Xiu, which seems to be quite different from his simple and honest image on the big screen.



The image mismatch is also one of the concerns of director Chen Desen, but he looked through Wang Baoqiang’s films again, and found that Wang Baoqiang "is really good at acting and can bear hardships, and is not a self-limiting actor", and finally decided on the candidate.



Facts have also proved that the director’s vision is correct. Yu Xiu, who is almost in a crazy situation, has become the most brilliant role in the whole movie, and this huge sense of role contrast has won him unanimous praise from the outside world.



Of course, the successful shaping of the role can not be separated from Wang Baoqiang’s own efforts. In order to get closer to the role, Wang Baoqiang started muscle training one month before shooting, so he specially found four fitness coaches to coach him.



During filming, when Wang Baoqiang was free, he asked Donnie Yen to take himself to bake the lamp, with the purpose of baking his skin rough and dark, highlighting the characteristics of martial arts practitioners.



At the same time, in order to perform the effect of repairing the "lame", he has been wearing shoes of different heights during the filming, and all the fighting scenes are done by himself.


From grassroots actors to tens of billions of leading actors, from the "Golden Broom Award" to today’s word-of-mouth box office double harvest, Wang Baoqiang really went to the center of the stage from a childhood "one-man Wulin".


The hero doesn’t ask the source, and his sincerity and diligence give him the courage to succeed.



In the future, we also look forward to seeing director Wang Baoqiang and actor Wang Baoqiang contribute more wonderful works to China films!


The movie "One Man’s Wulin" was broadcast on the movie channel at 16:25 on July 26th. Let’s start a hearty action trip together.
