In the curtain that just endedThe 4th New Era International Film Festival, "In the Octagon Cage" won four awards, namelyBest Picture, Most Promising Director, Best Actor and Most Promising Actress
This night, "In the Octagon Cage" undoubtedly became the biggest winner.
Of course, as the producer, director, screenwriter, and starring of the film, the 41-year-old Wang Baoqiang once again amazed the crowd!
Three times on the podium, Wang Baoqiang saidI have been in the film industry for 24 years, but as a director, I am still a newcomer, this is a new beginning, I still have a long way to go in the future, I hope that I can make every movie in a down-to-earth manner, and I can make more works that the audience loves in the future.
In addition, he also said that when everyone thought that he could only play stupid roots, he told himself that I would not play stupid roots for the rest of my life, as long as I seized the opportunity to learn, I would dig out a lot of undiscovered dives in you, and then it was Xu Sanduo, A Bing, ......
This is the second time that "In the Octagon Cage" has won the award after winning the Best Screenplay Award and the Jury Award at the 18th China Changchun Film Festival.
Of course, Wang Baoqiang finally won the Best Actor.
Although Wang Baoqiang's acting skills are undoubted, he rarely wins awards, even the most amazing performance of "Hello!".Mr. Tree", Wang Baoqiang personally did not win anything in China.
In addition to some individual awards in the early days, even though he also created many excellent roles later, he passed by the major awards again and again. Even if this award does not have much gold content now, it is full of weight for Wang Baoqiang.
In the Octagon Cage", Wang Baoqiang can be said to have contributed to the follow-up to "Hello!".Mr. Tree", the best performance after "fully deserves a Best Actor Award".
Now it has finally won the award, which is well deserved.
Wang Baoqiang's fame has long been known to the public, but the past six years have been the darkest moment of his entire life.
On the one hand, he was defeated as a director for the first time, and on the other hand, his family suffered a series of accidents, which suddenly made his life fall to the bottom.
Although Wang Baoqiang had ups and downs before he became famous, this time it was even more embarrassing for him, and he encountered an unprecedented turmoil from the inside out.
But he did not choose to give up, but moved forward, made a desperate bet, and spent six years polishing a work of conscience "In the Octagon Cage", which turned over and proved himself again.
As ever, the process is inspirational enough, and so is the film itself, but more sincere.
Sincerity defeated the controversy, and strength achieved a counterattack.
As he said, he is still a newcomer as a director, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Even though he has stepped into the list of directors six years ago, he is not able to direct if he is excellent at acting.
A "Havoc in Tianzhu" made him a laughing stock, but when everyone was laughing at him, he took it calmly, not only personally on the podium to receive the Golden Broom Award, but also publicly apologized to the audience, and promised to make a good movie and be a good director.
Not to mention being able to take the initiative to receive the Golden Broom Award in person, just apologizing for the bad filming of the movie has killed many filmmakers in seconds.
How can such sincerity not be admirable.
In the past six years, he has not been idle, and has been accumulating energy for new movies.
Pushed down all the drama appointments and devoted himself to the preparation of the new movie. When the filming officially started, it was withdrawn by the investor and had to mortgage the family property, and finally completed the filming with the help of his friend Chen Sicheng.
After the failure of "Havoc in Tianzhu", Wang Baoqiang is no longer favored by industry insiders. Although as an actor, he is impeccable, but as a director, Wang Baoqiang is obviously not trusted.
This is just like when I first stepped into the actor industry, no one was optimistic, and there were doubts and doubts everywhere.
In the face of all this, Wang Baoqiang is even more determined to make a good movie, and this time, he wants to fight for himself.
Of course, in the end he succeeded again, and those who rejected him did not know how much to regret.
Wang Baoqiang's journey has always been full of controversy and doubts, but so what.
As the song sings, "In the face of cold eyes and ridicule, how can we feel the vastness of life without suffering, and fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy ......."I never gave up on my ideals. ”
The spirit of not abandoning and not giving up, Wang Baoqiang has always adhered to it.
In the case of "In the Octagon Cage", although this film is not perfect, the simplicity and sincerity shown are enough to move. This film once again interprets the spirit of "silly roots" and the spirit of "Xu Sanduo", and vividly expresses the spirit of "born like weeds, indomitable" and resisting. Wang Baoqiang also contributed an actor-level performance again, and the film also achieved good results, so that the world can believe in Wang Baoqiang again, not only has strength, but also is trustworthy.
So on the occasion of the release of the film, some netizens said: "I don't know why, I just hope he wins, and I can't see him lose." ”
Wang Baoqiang responded: "From the moment you started to support me, in fact, I had already won. I never lost, never. ”
Yes, with the support of so many netizens and fans, how could Wang Baoqiang lose?!
He has long become a benchmark and spiritual pillar for the common people.
The past six years have been the most difficult since he became famous, but he was not knocked down and defeated, and once again staged a counterattack drama.
From a rural child to a star actor, from a trickster to a powerful faction, and then from an actor to a director, Wang Baoqiang has not only realized his ideals along the way, but also proved to the world that ordinary grassroots can also create miracles, and his inspirational life inspires and inspires a dream-chasing teenager.
