Next, the teenage boy felt that he could act in a movie, so he packed up and went to Beijing to find his dream. He first squatted at the entrance of the film factory like other extras and waited for an assistant director to come out with his hips akimbo and pick out a few pleasing ones from them like picking cabbage. If he was chosen, he would be able to eat a box at noon and be picked just like him. Of cabbage to help lunch. With some boy skills learned from Shaolin Temple, he also made martial arts and stand-in for martial arts movies.
The long wait gave this little farmer the miraculous favor of fate. In 2003, he was selected by the director Li Yang to play the leading role in "Blind Well" and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and Best Actor for the French Duville Film Festival. If the appreciation of Director Li Yang only allowed this small farmer of 1.6 meters to gain industry recognition, then the 2004 "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang threw his influence to the masses. Two years later, he starred in the TV series "Soldier Assault", which was even hotter then, and the limelight was no different.
The 161 cm Wang Baoqiang, Wang Baoqiang, who has never planted land but a migrant worker taste, and Wang Baoqiang, who has a Hebei countryside accent, who left home at the age of 8 but never changed, instantly gained a broad mass base. But whenever you ask him, he will say, I want to play martial arts movies. I want opportunities with the company, I want opportunities with major directors, and I want opportunities with the media. The little farmer never forgot his dream of martial arts star, never forgot his original intention when he left home at the age of 8.
He finally waited for the opportunity to star in this "One Man's Wulin" with Kung Fu superstar Donnie Yen. In martial arts movies, playing the first villain, the second male, is basically equivalent to the status of the first female in romance movies.
Although it can be seen that Wang Baoqiang is trying to subvert his image after being a farmer, but his innate sense of small person, thin body and Hebei local accent, these factors that have helped him achieve success have all become his transformation. A stumbling block, Wang Baoqiang has not yet become accustomed to being a villain. Obviously, the audience has not accepted "Silly Gener" as a bad guy. After every expression of his excessive force, it always makes people think that he will trip on his back, fall into a dog and eat shit, or be knocked on the head with disdain. In terms of kung fu, the six pack muscles and the split wiya that he worked hard to train became Wang Baoqiang's winning magic weapon to become a "martial star", but he still seemed too much in front of Zhen Kungfu.
"One Man's Martial Arts" is too similar to Wang Baoqiang's growth experience. He is not a person with outstanding talents, and even has obvious defects that hinder the pursuit of dreams. But persistence and excellence can ultimately make him what he wants to be. For Feng Yuxiu, this journey of chasing dreams in martial arts was a gloomy and crazy journey of self-destruction, but for Wang Baoqiang, it was a journey of colorful fantasy kaleidoscope.
