"I never felt how good I was, the only thing I thought I was good was that my woman's name was Ma Yili"
Looking at this sentence now, it can't help but be a little ironic.
Since the "See you on Monday" incident ten years ago, the article that was originally in the limelight has instantly become a "street rat" that everyone shouts and beats.
Since then, he has gradually become an "invisible person" in the circle.
But in All-Star golf, he's still on the list.
There were also well-known artists such as Wang Zhiwen, Ge You, Zhang Jiayi, Wang Baoqiang, and Liu Yijun.
Unexpectedly, Wang Baoqiang this time is completely different from the image on the screen.
Dressed in casual clothes, he looks like a successful upper-class person.
On the other hand, the article that was extremely arrogant at the beginning has not only made a lot of fortune now, but even the arrogance of the past no longer exists.
Beside a big man in the circle like Wang Zhiwen, he has no momentum at all.
In fact, any occasion where celebrities gather is a huge vanity fair.
Every move is full of the embodiment of "Jianghu status".
is like today's article and Wang Baoqiang, one is a successful director who turned over with "In the Octagon Cage".
One is a former superstar who was dubbed a "scumbag".
The comparison of their current situation also reflects the warmth and coldness of the entertainment industry to the fullest.
And the "mask" that the article has worn for many years has also been torn to pieces by the "grassroots" Wang Baoqiang.
1 Comparison of the current situation of the two
If there was no "See you on Monday" ten years ago, there would definitely be a place for articles in today's entertainment industry.
After all, popular dramas such as "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "Snow Leopard" have pushed him to a high position of stars holding the moon.
But the higher you fly, the harder you fall.
When Ma Yili was pregnant with her second child, he and Yao Di went out on a date, which was pointed out by Qianfu.
The name of "scumbag" has also accompanied him for ten years.
After the scandal broke in March 2014, he gradually faded out of the screen.
Concentrate on the drama stage and the directing industry.
But he has long lost the audience, and his appearance and demeanor have also fallen off a cliff.
On the stage of the drama, his gray hair is almost unrecognizable.
Although he has just turned forty, he does not have any age advantage when he is in the same frame as 54-year-old Zhang Jiayi.
The eyes are blank, and the fatigue is fully revealed.
As for embracing Zhang Jiayi, it is Liu Yijun, who is also 54 years old.
The tall back makes him look like a young man in the prime of life.
On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang, who is two years older than the article, is full of energy.
After all, now he has unloaded the burden of "Golden Broom" after the explosion of "In the Octagon Cage".
Even the same bad feelings have long since calmed down with time.
Wang Baoqiang, who is light, has already become a person from two worlds compared with the articles that are infamous with his infamy.
Now Baoqiang is committed to becoming a qualified behind-the-scenes producer.
The crime suspense drama "Chess Player", which will be completed in February 2024, is another new work produced and starred by him.
In his spare time, he also attends various events.
Wang Baoqiang on the golf field is calm and confident.
Years of precipitation have long washed away his "grassroots atmosphere".
Today, he has the temperament of a successful business person.
In fact, Wang Baoqiang and the article also had similarities.
That is also deeply involved in the "derailment door" turmoil.
But the difference is that Wang Baoqiang is the one who is "wearing a hat".
And the article is the "hat-wearing" side.
As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows.
The generous Baoqiang and the submissive article form a stark contrast.
The current situation of the article also reflects his inner lack of confidence.
After all, after being scolded for ten years, you have to have a very strong heart to be able to afford all this.
can't help but sigh that the two people who were once completely different will now live like each other.
2 Different origins, different circumstances
As the article himself said, he is a person who can not be smoother anymore.
The article in middle school was lucky to be selected by the crew of "Punctuality of Youth".
This acting experience allowed him to find his future path.
On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang, at that time, he had just experienced 6 years of life in Shaolin Temple.
The training of rising in the morning and returning late has created his current tempering.
In his third year of high school, he was sent to the School of Art of Sichuan Normal University.
But he was single-mindedly admitted to Beijing, and after inspecting Nortel and China Opera in succession, he filled in all his 8 college entrance examination aspirations into Chinese opera.
Luckily, he achieved this all-or-nothing goal.
It was also from this time that his life realized the "Shun" that countless people envied.
But compared with the "Shun" of the article, Wang Baoqiang, who has been running for six years, is particularly bumpy.
At the age of 14, he began to drift north and drifted until he was 20 years old.
During this period, I couldn't make ends meet, and I couldn't keep food and clothing.
One day in 2002, the disheartened Wang Baoqiang was favored by the director of "Blind Well".
Thus ushered in the day of emergence.
At the age of 20, he won the Golden Horse Award for "Best Newcomer".
In 2004, Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World" made the down-to-earth Wang Baoqiang an instant hit.
2006's "Soldier Assault" has become the military dream of countless boys.
"Xu Sanduo" has also become one of Wang Baoqiang's iconic roles.
On the other side, after graduation, he participated in "Struggle" directed by Zhao Baogang.
The role of "Xiang Nan" made him a newcomer actor who has attracted much attention.
And because of this, he became attached to Ma Yili, who was 8 years older than him.
In 2008, he got married and gave birth to a daughter, and realized a perfect life with a successful career and a happy family.
This year, Wang Baoqiang released singles, went to the Spring Festival Gala, and released an autobiography, completing a counterattack in life.
A "My Brother is Called Shunyo" made his honest image gradually stronger on the screen.
And the article is also making changes to broaden the way of playing.
2010's "Snow Leopard" made him fade away from the style of an urban man and become a calm "pure man".
The rating of 7.66% also made the show the ratings champion in Beijing.
And the article also won the Golden Panda Award for Best Actor.
In 2010, under the support of Jet Li, he successively starred in two movies, "Ocean Paradise" and "The Legend of the White Snake".
The articles favored by Jet Li have also become his "godson".
This year, the release of "People in Embarrassment" allowed Wang Baoqiang's comedy talent to be displayed.
In 2011, "Hello! Mr. Tree" made him a masterpiece of the gods.
And the article has gradually reached the pinnacle of acting.
In the same year, "The Age of Naked Marriage", which created his and Yao Di's "bad fate", created a trend of naked marriage, and the ratings ranked first in the national ratings.
The movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was also a great success.
With an investment of less than 10 million, a high box office of 350 million was realized.
In 2013, the article that tried to transform was appreciated by Stephen Chow.
starred in "Journey to the West" directed by Xing Ye.
Regarding the performance of the article, Stephen Chow commented that it was "superb".
He even called him "Master Wen".
Wang Baoqiang, who was complained about "full of local flavor", also cooperated with famous directors such as Chen Kaige and Xu Zheng in films such as "Thai Embarrassment" and "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain".
is still trying to transform, and directed and starred in the TV series "Little Dad".
and Jet Li's "Fuji Detective" again also made his film career brilliant.
At the press conference, Liu Shishi, Chen Yanxi, and Liu Yan held him up steadily, and the "godfather" held the microphone on the side.
The article "Stars Holding the Moon" really responds to his current situation.
In the same year, after the scandal was exposed, his personality collapsed.
Although with "Lu Yaozhi Ma Li" and "Young Marshal", he achieved a short turnaround.
But for the audience, he has already become a "bad artist".
As for Wang Baoqiang, he also tried to transform actor into director.
But the fiasco of "Havoc in Tianzhu" in 2016 made the "Golden Broom Award" a label that he couldn't remove.
And his misfortune is much more than that.
In the same year, the pillow man and the good brother teamed up to catch him off guard.
After that, for two consecutive years, Wang Baoqiang has been unable to get out of the quagmire.
It was not until the end of the divorce case in 2018 that he gradually resumed his work.
The success of many films such as "A Good Show", "My Hometown and Me", and "Detective Chinatown 3" also made him officially get out of the trough.
The article that first entered the entertainment industry was full of spirit.
But after experiencing many changes, he has become a middle-aged man with dodgy eyes.
On the contrary, it is now Wang Baoqiang, after coming out of the haze, gradually has the vigor of the article.
3 Character determines fate
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat"
The circumstances of the article just confirm the ingenuity of this sentence.
Counting the cheating male stars in the entertainment industry, there are not a few.
But there are also many who can continue to be active on the screen.
So why did only the article get mixed up in such a field?
This may be inseparable from the arrogance of his youth.
Before the article happened, he was frequently rumored to be "playing big names" and "scolding" scandals.
For example, "eat noodles and only eat oily noodles".
Regarding this, Jin Xing once complained in public in "The Venus Show".
Not only that, but drinking coffee is also only Starbucks.
Even on the set, the staff were often insulted.
And his temper is also a well-known fact in the crew.
When he encountered the onlookers taking pictures, he threw his mobile phone on the ground angrily.
During interviews, he often did not cooperate with reporters.
It was obviously a non-smoking area, so he had to smoke, and he pressed the cigarette butt into the sofa afterwards.
When recording variety shows, he will also scold on the spot without restraint.
Even if the opposite is the host Du Haitao.
He also showed no mercy.
In his private life, he was also photographed urinating on the street.
As a result, his audience popularity is completely overturned.
As Venus said, "The prodigal son does not change his money".
But the article is not pretty.
After making a comeback and collapsing again and again, he finally paid the price for his "arrogance".
On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang, who was born at the grassroots, is a man who can't even find any stain on the person next to him.
So much so that later, in order to bring down Wang Baoqiang, he directed and acted in a "domestic violence".
However, the audience already knew that she couldn't get on the stage.
Although it is said that people are easy to forget their roots after becoming popular.
But Wang Baoqiang, who grew up in hardship since childhood, always remembers his original intention.
A "In the Octagon Cage" has attracted the support of almost half of the stars in the entertainment industry.
After all, he is one of the few people who can let Chen Sicheng borrow money unconditionally.
This also proves that Wang Baoqiang's true character is trustworthy.
epilogue
All the chances of life depend on one's own thoughts.
Whether it's good or bad, it's all made by yourself.
Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.
And this is also the reason why Wang Baoqiang was able to fight his way out of the encirclement among the "bad movie directors".
Therefore, is the article's current "downfall" really only because of the "derailment door" back then?
What do you think about this?
