When the name Huang Bo is mentioned, the first association in people's minds is the first Chinese actor to break through the box office of 10 billion. However, the authenticity of this box office data has been questioned. "Thai Embarrassment" released in 2011 is undoubtedly the chance work of Huang Bo to become popular. With this comedy co-starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo won 1.2 billion box office in one fell swoop. But we must not forget that "Thai Embarrassment" is a troika, and it is extremely difficult to achieve such a box office by relying on Huang Bo's personal appeal alone. In the following years, Huang Bo cooperated with first-line movie stars such as Zhang Yi and **, and he could really see his personal strength in "Master of Memory", with a box office of only 2900 million. If you carefully scrutinize the specific situation of Huang Bo's works, his mighty "10 billion" box office data will be discounted. It's normal for fans to look at idols with dreamy filters, but we can't deny that behind Huang Bo's glamorous appearance, there is a certain amount of moisture. 
This is not a question of his acting skills, but a question of those false data. When we remove the packaging, remove the gimmicks, and only the acting skills and content remain, whether Huang Bo can bring the answers worth looking forward to, this is what we are most concerned about. Huang Bo's acting skills when he first became famous can be described as amazing, he can fully immerse himself in the role, like a soul resonance, every expression and movement is lifelike. This stems from his strong performance experience, which is a chemical reaction that arises from deep integration with the underprivileged groups. But with the influx of commercial films, Huang Bo seems to have been inadvertently assimilated, transforming from the initial experiential performance to the expressionist performance. Now he is relying more and more on routines, and the carefully designed "details" replace the original real emotions. 
Mozart in Outer Space has a performance in which he makes money for his son, which is a typical example of excessive performance and emotional embellishment. This change is not entirely negative, and success always leads to patterning. But we may have reason to miss the real and natural Huang Bo in the past, just like the clear eyes of Mr. Lu Xun when he was a child. There is nothing wrong with the development of reality, but we also did not miss paying homage to the inner voice. I believe that with the precipitation of time, Huang Bo will eventually return to the original essence, because the essence will not change. The directors who once helped Huang Bo become popular now seem to have changed. 
Ning Hao, the director of "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Alien", no longer makes such "crazy" movies. He either chooses to retreat behind the scenes to cultivate newcomers, or he makes a positive main theme film. Another Guan Hu, who has worked with Huang Bo, has also shifted from filming "Survival Migrant Workers" to lofty themes such as "King Kong River" and "Eight Hundred". This is just one example of how the environment is forcing individuals to change. In the context of the continuous rampant bad movies, the Chinese film environment is getting worse. The reduction of choice and cooperation has changed the style of many excellent screenwriters and directors again and again, and Huang Bo cannot escape it. We see not only his personal plight, but also the sadness of the environment as a whole. In this environment, it is difficult to produce works like the one in the past. 
However, there is always a spring in history, and the environment should not be an excuse. We look forward to the day when the new environment will arrive, when the precious and powerful factions will be able to shine even more brightly. The film market is a consumer market, and the audience's choice is the ultimate determining force. Over the years, the Chinese film environment has been sluggish, and bad movies have continued, precisely because the audience's aesthetics have been seriously deviated, and the celebrity effect has become the biggest variable determining the box office. However, the situation is quietly changing. More and more viewers are starting to pursue content and quality instead of being confused by packaging. A work like "The Three-Body Problem" without the blessing of celebrities and purely relying on excellent content can still become a phenomenal IP. This is a sign that the market is slowly returning to its roots, and the environment will also improve. 
When the environment gets better, we will also see more highlights from good actors. This is a product of the progress of the whole environment, so we can't rush it. Huang Bo once said that acting skills need time to precipitate, which just proves that environmental progress takes time to accumulate. Let's look forward to the arrival of a new film environment in the near future. Huang Bo's current situation fully confirms Feng Xiaogang's sentence - "Acting is fine". Success gave him an aura, but it also restrained him from further breakthroughs. 
We can't simply blame Huang Bo as an individual. He is just a product of this circumstance, and the circumstance envelops everyone. In the context of excessive commercialization, many excellent artists are alienated, which is a problem for the whole environment. But every spring breeze will come. The glimmer of the current Chinese film market is a signal of environmental change. Under the choice of the audience's aesthetic return to the essence, the market will become more rational. This is both opportunity and hope. As a leader in the industry, Huang Bo will definitely seize the opportunity to bring more surprises in the new environment. Rather than simply repeating it, we are looking forward to his new roles and new works. 
Without the blessing of the environment, these may not be possible; But with the blessing of the environment, anything is possible. Let's wait and see how the environment and the master actors combine wonderfully. The future is promising, and the spring of movies is coming.
