In 2010, Xu Zheng was preparing to shoot a new comedy film "Thai Love", which mainly described a series of interesting things encountered by Chinese when traveling abroad.

In order to make the movie more realistic to reflect the theme, Xu Zheng put a lot of effort into casting, but because of the limited budget, Xu Zheng was unable to provide high salaries to the actors. This is undoubtedly a big problem for a director.

Just when Xu Zheng was worried about finding a suitable actor, his old friend and actor Wang Baoqiang took the initiative to contact him.

It turned out that Wang Baoqiang had long heard the news that Xu Zheng was going to make this movie, and he expressed his willingness to join the filming of the movie. Wang Baoqiang's initiative surprised and moved Xu Zheng, because he knew that with Wang Baoqiang's popularity, the salary was definitely not a problem.

To Xu Zheng's surprise, Wang Baoqiang not only expressed his interest in the performance, but also said that he could appear at a low price, which made Xu Zheng even more flattered.

It can be seen that Wang Baoqiang is a warm-hearted person, he didn't think too much about the issue of salary, but just wanted to fully support his friend Xu Zheng to realize his movie dream.

In the later filming process, Wang Baoqiang was very dedicated to his work, did not complain about the low salary, and established a good relationship with other actors.

Everyone says that Wang Baoqiang is a positive actor, who doesn't care about personal interests and only gives the best performance for the movie. It was a pleasure to work with Wang Baoqiang.

Xu Zheng was also impressed by Wang Baoqiang. He feels very lucky to meet a loving friend like Wang Baoqiang.

During the filming, the relationship between the two became better and better, and they often exchanged their understanding of the role, and Xu Zheng also learned a lot of acting skills from Wang Baoqiang. is worthy of "the people are king-oriented", Wang Baoqiang's good deeds infected the whole crew, and the filming process of "Thai Embarrassment" was very smooth.

In 2012, "Thai Embarrassment" was released and achieved unprecedented success, with a final box office of 3 billion yuan, becoming a legend in the Chinese film industry that year.

With this movie, Xu Zheng has become a top director and popular actor in the film industry. However, when it came to dividends, Xu Zheng only gave Wang Baoqiang 2 million as a salary, which was nearly 10 times lower than the dividends of other leading actors.

Such a result has taken many people in the industry by surprise. They criticized Xu Zheng for not knowing how to be grateful, and if it wasn't for Wang Baoqiang's help, Xu Zheng's economic situation would not have been able to make "Thai Embarrassment" start smoothly.

It is precisely because of Wang Baoqiang's low-cost performance that the filming cost of the film has been greatly reduced, and other investors are willing to join in. If it weren't for Wang Baoqiang's righteous deeds, how could "Thai Embarrassment" have its later glory?

But when the movie was a huge success, Xu Zheng forgot the kindness of the original acquaintance, and only gave Wang Baoqiang a meager return. This undoubtedly shows his ungrateful side and makes many viewers disappointed in him.

In fact, Wang Baoqiang doesn't care about money, he is helpful not in return. But Xu Zheng's stingy and stingy behavior still makes Wang Baoqiang and the public unable to agree.

Despite the criticism from the outside world, Xu Zheng seemed to be unimpressed. He continued to work hard, reaching the peak of his career and gaining fame and fortune.

And Wang Baoqiang didn't care too much, thinking that everyone has their own ambitions, Xu Zheng chose money and success, and the friendship and morality he valued were more precious. The two have not cooperated since then, and it can be seen that the original friendship no longer exists.

This incident has become a stain in Xu Zheng's life that can never be erased.

A few years later, Wang Baoqiang suffered a major blow in his life, and he and his wife Ma Rong divorced. This divorce cost Wang Baoqiang a lot of money and energy, and he fell into an unprecedented trough.

originally wanted to start afresh by shooting a new movie, but Wang Baoqiang hit a wall everywhere. He had exhausted his savings and had no way to borrow money from everywhere, which made Wang Baoqiang very dazed and desperate.

Once, Wang Baoqiang would first think of asking Xu Zheng for help. After all, Xu Zheng, a friend for many years, is now rich and extraordinary, and helping him make movies is just a matter of effort.

However, every time he thought of what Xu Zheng had done before, Wang Baoqiang dispelled this idea. Now that he is in trouble, how can Xu Zheng remember the friendship of the year?

Wang Baoqiang didn't want to ask for help from an ungrateful person, so he could only ask for more blessings.

He tried to reach out to other old friends, but most were unable to provide substantial help. Wang Baoqiang gradually felt that he was about to finish.

Just when Wang Baoqiang was desperate, a savior appeared. Wang Baoqiang's old friend Chen Sicheng took the initiative to contact him and expressed his willingness to fully support Wang Baoqiang in making this new movie.

Not only can he provide funds, Chen Sicheng also volunteered to be the director and guide Wang Baoqiang to complete this return work for free.

Wang Baoqiang was very excited and thanked God for finally giving him hope. In the most difficult time, it was the sincere help of old friends, which was more precious than anything else. With Chen Sicheng's full help, Wang Baoqiang successfully started filming his dream film work.

In 2019, after several years of hard work, the movie "In the Octagon Cage" starring Wang Baoqiang was finally released. This film directed by Chen Sicheng and starring Wang Baoqiang was rated very successful, and Wang Baoqiang's acting skills have also been highly recognized inside and outside the industry.

It can be said that the success of "In the Octagon Cage" directly brought Wang Baoqiang's career back to the peak and completed the comeback he dreamed of.

After the movie was released, it received many positive reviews. Many people in the industry bluntly said that Wang Baoqiang was able to return to glory this time, and Chen Sicheng's support was indispensable.

Indeed, from the selection of the topic to the director's guidance, Chen Sicheng gave Wang Baoqiang great help and support throughout the filming process.

Without Chen Sicheng, Wang Baoqiang's situation at that time would not have been able to complete such a high-quality work, let alone achieve commercial success.

At the premiere, Wang Baoqiang also thanked Chen Sicheng in public for his kindness. He said that Chen Sicheng's unwavering support is of great significance to him.

This opportunity to be reborn made Wang Baoqiang realize the importance of having a close friend. No matter how hard a person tries, he may fall off the altar if he is not careful. And with the support of friends, you can be fearless of wind and rain and regain your career.

The success of "In the Octagon Cage" not only allowed Wang Baoqiang to successfully turn over, but also conveyed to the audience the theme of the movie - the power of friends. It shows the power of the friendship between Wang Baoqiang and Chen Sicheng to the fullest.

Seeing Wang Baoqiang reach the peak of his career again with "In the Octagon Cage", Xu Zheng's heart was full of shame and remorse.

Back then, it was Wang Baoqiang who starred in "Thai Embarrassment" for himself regardless of remuneration, so that he could start filming smoothly with insufficient funds, and finally reaped great success.

But after earning a salary of 10 million, he only paid Wang Baoqiang 2 million, which can be said to be tyrannical and ungrateful.

Now a few years have passed, when Wang Baoqiang encountered a trough and needed help, he also pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a blind eye. In the end, Wang Baoqiang could only return to the top with the help of himself and Chen Sicheng.

All this made Xu Zheng see that to be a man and do things, we must emphasize righteousness and friendship, rather than blindly seeking profit.

My previous self achieved success in my career, but I lost the respect of many people in the industry. And even though Wang Baoqiang fell to a low point, he received help and support again because of his kind and righteous personality. All this is the good reincarnation of heaven, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

Now seeing Wang Baoqiang shine again, Xu Zheng feels sincerely gratified. He is also reflecting on himself, if he could have been more humane and less calculating with Wang Baoqiang, maybe the two would not be estranged, and he would have less regrets.

Life is a long road, and one's success cannot be based solely on personal struggle. Everyone needs to be around to have a close friend to help them. This is also where I need to learn Xi in the future, and strive to get back together with Wang Baoqiang and get together again.

Through the experiences of Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng, we can deeply understand the deep meaning of the phrase "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil".

Wang Baoqiang helped Xu Zheng out of kindness at the beginning, and although he fell into a trough for a while, he finally relied on the help of himself and his friends to regain his career success.

This speaks volumes about the power of kindness and camaraderie to help a person get through a difficult time and regain their life.

And Xu Zheng was earnest and ungrateful to Wang Baoqiang, and as a result, he lost the respect of many people in the industry. Although Xu Zheng has reached the peak of his career, he has left a stain on morality and human feelings.

Success cannot only rely on personal struggle, but also needs to establish a positive character image.

Therefore, we should be as helpful as Wang Baoqiang in life, attach importance to friendship, and influence others with kindness. Only by actively participating in friendship can you gain support and help from your friends. When encountering difficulties, people who sincerely help each other are the most valuable assets.

At the same time, we must not repeat Xu Zheng's mistake and blindly seek profit and be ungrateful. We should always be grateful and cherish the hard-won help and friendship.

Only by striving to be a virtuous person can we win the respect of others and achieve long-term success and happiness.

The experiences of Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng are worth learning from Xi, and we must keep in mind the truth that "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil", so that we can live a fair and complete life.
