From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Although at the end of the film, the nearly invincible warden played by Ding Zhi actually received the lunch box in such a ridiculous way, it caused the audience to whisper and discuss with the greatest response since the beginning of the film.

.

Ding Zhi even vaguely heard a fierce female voice behind him spitting out fragrance.

"Gan! I'm afraid this director is not a stinky Shabi!"

But the plot of the movie continues regardless of the will of the audience.

The "fake BOSS" Hong Ye was arrested, the "real BOSS" warden hiccuped, and the movie came to an end without any twists.

Mr. Hong, on the other side, also died of heart failure due to a fight with his biological brother.

In fact, in this line, Principal Gu also made a rare breakthrough. The image is very close to that of a consumption ghost, and at the same time, he interprets the weak but vicious energy quite accurately.

But helplessly, too much light was still taken away by the "little brother" warden played by Ding Zhi.

As the villains died, became more and more disabled, and finally the daughter of Thai prison guard Achai was saved, a typical happy ending.

The movie came to an end, and as the credits rose, the lights in the theater came on.

The audience walked out in twos and threes.

Ding Zhi and Xiaopang waited until the end before slowly getting up, dodging the crowd and sneaking back into the car.

How to say?

The final effect of this film was somewhat beyond Ding Zhi's expectations.

First of all, director Zheng Rui is indeed one of the few directors in Hong Kong and even China who is good at dark and grim genre films.

"Dog Eat Dog", the originator of Chen Photography, which is still talked about by people today, is actually Zheng Rui's classic work in his early years.

Most of the themes in his movie world are paranoid and cold, and good people often end up failing or even dying, making the audience feel the horror of despair.

In fact, in "Greed Wolf", which is meant to be a sequel to "Slaying the Wolf", he has maintained restraint in many places, and the final ending is still a happy ending that the audience loves to see.

After all, this is a purely commercial action movie. Many commercial film directors in Hong Kong actually have a big idea in mind. Art is art, and if you make the right money, you will make the right money. It is easy to correct your mentality.

The same goes for Zheng Rui. After all, just looking at the movie "Havoc in Heaven", which had a very bad reputation but grossed 1 billion at the box office, we know that he also has a talent for making money.

However, what surprised Ding Zhi was that the warden he played, although he did not appear in many scenes, was actually cut into something like a behind-the-scenes villain in the end.

Now he is really curious about how the audience will respond enthusiastically to this film.

It was exactly as Ding Zhi expected.

"Greed Wolf", which has attracted much attention as a "dark horse" in advance of the National Day release, attracted a lot of attention and discussion on the first day of its release.

There was a discussion about the plot.

——"Overall three and a half stars, it is still a typical Hong Kong film style. Zheng Rui has returned to the state of "Dog Eat Dog", the style is also quite similar, the overall depressive atmosphere, almost all characters have fatalistic despair attributes.

The dirty art and excessive bloody violence in the action are also of the same origin.

The film also intends to show off its skills in action scenes, such as the one-shot long shot in the prison that is quite stunning.

Of course, the actors are also very good! Principal Gu has made a big breakthrough, Wu Jin and Tony Jia handed in qualified answers, and Ding Zhi is amazing!"

——"Ding Zhi is so handsome that he has no friends! Even the facially paralyzed Louis Koo's acting skills seem to have improved after he put on a mask.

Although the line about mobile phones is outrageous, it can be continued and justified, and it is also made with such love and cuteness. The translation software is amazing, the mobile signal is weak, the parallel montage is fun, and all kinds of things

The legacy of the golden age of Hong Kong films is quite awesome!

Overall four stars!”

——"Violence and chicken soup go hand in hand, and several clues are quite well designed. Although they are a bit stiff when combined, the resulting chicken soup effect is still quite useful.

The long-lost sense of the camera is no longer the monotonous shot of a TV series that makes me sick of watching it. It’s gratifying to see that Hong Kong action movies are still leading the world.”

But after all, there are only a few people who discuss the plot, and the focus of more people's discussions is undoubtedly focused on Ding Zhi's head.

——"This movie is undoubtedly a rip-off! I obviously went to see the movie because of Ding Zhi, what about the three protagonists! After watching it, all the scenes in which Ding Zhi appeared were less than 20 minutes together!

"

——"Ahhhhh! Ding Zhi is so handsome! How can a man look so handsome in a suit!"

——"To be honest, after coming out of the cinema, my mind was basically filled with the warden played by Ding Zhi, a thug in a suit! Unparalleled in fists and kicks! A genius in language! He simply fulfilled all my fantasies about the temptation of uniforms.

!”

——"It's so funny! In the end, Ding Zhi actually took the lunch box because of that tie. In fact, I also came back to it later. It seemed that the tie had actually appeared in close-ups countless times before, but in the end

It was unexpected that he would be taken offline in such a ridiculous way.

I guess the director didn’t know how to let the protagonist defeat such an invincible villain, so he could only arrange such a ‘plot kill’!”

——"Have you noticed that we seem to have ignored Ding Zhi's appearance for too long! Like the ruffian in "Eight Hundred", the unknown gangster in "Cold War 2", or the character in "Catch"

Wang Yuanyang, and even the brick-carrying uncle in "The Eraser in My Brain", all tried their best to dress up in an ugly direction!

Even in the most normal "Peeping", because the character Zheng Zhi is too perverted, not many people pay attention to his appearance!

If I remember correctly! The role of Warden is the first time Ding Zhi has appeared on the big screen in such a handsome outfit!!!"

——"Drama actor Ding Zhi! YYDS!!!"

——"I am worried that everyone is obsessed with Ding Zhi's beauty, and I am afraid that you will ignore his terrible acting skills, but I also feel that such a cool and handsome man will have to be in disguise to meet us all the time.

Feeling sorry!"

——"This is the first time I have seen such shameless words, but at the same time, I deeply feel that this sentence is correct!"

Indeed, as the netizen who made rainbow farts fly said, Ding Zhi does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional. In his previous roles, there were indeed very few moments when his appearance was particularly eye-catching. Most of them were

His makeup and performance were subtracted to show the characteristics of the character and were covered up.

Just like the perverted smile shown when eating ice cream on the street that made many movie fans or fans shudder in "The Manhunt", or the perverted murderer who regards human life as nothing in "Spy", they will not give people "very handsome"

"feeling.

Speaking of which, the warden is indeed the most neatly executed role by Ding Zhimao.

Of course, there are still many black people who are still taking the trouble to make jokes about Ding Zhi's plastic surgery.

But unfortunately, almost no one will pay attention to it anymore.

The rumor that Ding Zhi had plastic surgery probably started spreading when Ding Zhi was most severely "exploded" a year ago.

In the beginning, in order to defend Ding Zhi, some of his fans posted photos of Ding Zhi at every stage from childhood to adulthood in provocative posts to clarify his face.

——I don’t know where those fans came from. You must know that even Ding Zhi can’t find those photos at home.

But as Ding Zhi has played more and more difficult roles in the past two years, such rumors have become less and less popular.

First of all, as an actor, especially one who has almost no so-called "cool" scenes, spreading rumors about him having plastic surgery will not hit the pain point at all!

It would be better to say that the rumor that he studied the Luminous script for a certain resource would be more effective.

Secondly, as we all know, having surgery or fillings on the face will greatly affect the movements of expressions.

In Ding Zhi's single "Pursuit", he completed an explosive and silent drama with micro-expressions controlled by his eyes and facial muscles, which was enough to slap all the rumormongers in the face.

In addition to Ding Zhi's "fans", many of the discussants were attracted by the audience of "Greed Wolf" because of Ding Zhi's stage competition in "A Strange Life".

——"I discovered a very interesting point! That is, in the most exciting fight scene at the end of this movie! When Ding Zhi and Tony Jaa fought, there was a particularly exciting process of breaking up the moves!

Tony Jaa's super fierce Muay Thai moves were all blocked by Ding Zhi!

Guess what I found? The Ding Zhi episode of "The Adventures of Life" that was so popular some time ago! He and Buakaw also recreated this scene in the ring!"

——"Wow! Is what you said upstairs true or false? It seems vaguely familiar to me. Did the movie replicate Ding Zhi's moves in the ring competition?"

——"As far as I know, Ding Zhi's recording of "The Adventures of Life" was later than the filming of "The Greedy Wolf", but "The Adventures of Life" was released first.

So, Ding Zhi clearly used that set of tricks in actual combat! I suspect that many parts of this movie were real combat! No wonder the fighting is so good!!!

No more talking, I’m going to do the second brush!!!”

——"Second brush +1!!!"

——“Second brush +2!!!”

I have to say that the eagle eyes and reasoning abilities of netizens are indeed very interesting. The timelines for filming movies and recording variety shows have been completely wiped out.

Even the trick that Ding Zhi used to dismantle Buakaw was revealed when he was inspired by the filming of the movie.

At that time, Ding Zhi really had a flash of inspiration. If he were to do it again on purpose now, he might not be able to recreate it so perfectly.

It can be considered a wonderful accident.

On the night of the release, online discussions about "Greed Wolf" and Ding Zhi began to increase at an extremely fast speed.

Although there were those who criticized the film crew for "false propaganda" as mentioned above, they were also more impressed by Ding Zhi's performance in the movie.

The resulting high discussion further contributed to the rise in box office results.

Soon, the first-day box office was released. With the pre-sale of the film exceeding 100 million, the first-day box office of "Greed Wolf" reached 180 million!

It directly beats "The Brave", one of the two major theme blockbusters, and is just behind Guan Hu's new film "Tianguan", which broke 200 million at the box office on the first day, but the difference is only 20 million.

.

Obviously, the box office of the three most popular movies during National Day is very tight.

On the second day, the single-day box office of "Greedy Wolf" exceeded 100 million, and it continued to bite behind "Tianguan" with 260 million, continuing to be the runner-up.

This actually has a lot to do with film arrangement.

In major theaters, the film schedules of "Tianguan" and "The Brave" are almost the same. Among them, "Tianguan" is in the lead due to pre-sale results, and director Guan Hu has achieved great success in the previous "Eight Hundred" with the same theme.

achieved remarkable results.

Due to various reasons, "Tianguan" occupied the most scheduled films, reaching 24.6%.

"The Brave" followed closely behind, accounting for 21.7% of the film schedule.

As a "challenger", "Greed Wolf", although it is also a popular movie in this period, obviously even with Ding Zhi's blessing, due to the disadvantage of Cantonese kung fu movies outside the scope of the Greater Bay Area, it still only received 18.1%

The film discharge rate.

As for the other films in the National Day schedule, since these three films account for almost 65% of the film schedule, they can only share the remaining 35% of the film schedule.

It is worth mentioning that the literary film "Rainy Night, Thunder", although the publicity and discussion before its release was no less than that of "Greed Wolf", the box office on the first day barely exceeded 6 million, and then the next day

After it immediately hit a box office of less than 3 million, the film schedule was immediately reduced to a single-digit 5%.

The director of art films was so angry that he had made many outrageous remarks to the media about the "fast food blockbusters" of the same period, especially a certain action film that used "male sex to entertain people".

He even said that he was confident in the quality of the film and that the next baton would be handed over to the audience. At this time, it was obvious that the audience failed to take the baton he handed over...

I don’t know if this director is really mentally ill, or if he just wants to try to gain publicity by winning a black-red scolding battle.

But obviously, neither the two movies with the main theme, nor "Greed Wolf", nor Ding Zhi took over his fault and provided him with the opportunity to hype.

Isn’t it good for me to make a fortune in silence? Do I have to accept your “stick”?

After the fourth day, as online social platforms or short video platforms spread, Ding Zhi's fight scene with Tony Jaa in "The Greedy Wolf" and Ding Zhi's scene in "The Adventure of Life" were circulated.

Comparison video with Boqiu’s actual combat in the ring.

It set off a wave of popularity again, and on this day, "Greed Wolf" surpassed "Tianguan" for the first time and became the box office champion of the day!

And in the next week, while topics such as Ding Zhi's "good looks", "real kung fu", and "fighting drama" are still very popular, the growth rate of the other two competitors has begun to saturate, and even appeared

When it was weak, reverse growth was achieved for the first time!

In the second week, with some unusual strength, it won the box office championship in the second week!

Although it was soon surpassed by "Tianguan", a movie with the main theme of "The Code of Wealth" due to restrictions on the subject matter, it has undoubtedly become the only film that poses a threat to "Tianguan" in this National Day release.

As for "The Brave", it fell out of the first echelon of the championship early and locked in the third position in advance.

In the month after the final National Day release, "Greed Wolf" ranked second at the box office with a total box office of 1.36 billion.

Although it didn't create a miracle like "The Eraser in My Brain" again.

But you must know that in this film, Ding Zhi is just the "final villain" who only plays for about 18 minutes!

This achievement undoubtedly pushed Ding Zhi to the forefront again!

Ding Zhi, the box office weapon, is well-deserved!

At the same time, there will undoubtedly be more people who have their minds on Ding Zhi's head.
