From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

The biggest "trick" of the whole film has since been revealed. The shocking, absurd, and reasonable feeling is in the same vein as the style of Ding Zhi's previous works.

Yes, although the drama "Wushuang" actually has little to do with Ding Zhi in terms of writing or directing.

But the audience doesn’t know that!

This kind of personality, this kind of extreme reversal, is actually not the first time.

Like the little white rabbit auxiliary police officer who turned into a big bad wolf murderer in "Peeping", or the seemingly elegant and handsome Zhang Dongsheng in "The Hidden Corner" who is actually bald and ruthless behind the scenes.

Even in "The Tuner", before the last second of the ending, the "blind man" kicked open the can with an inexplicable sense of horror.

This is one of the reasons why director and screenwriter Zhang Wenqiang and Ding Zhi got along so well.

That's because Ding Zhi is really familiar with this type of role.

Suddenly revealing the answer at the last moment is actually not a new method.

But if you can do it well enough, after laying most of the front, and then lifting the fog to reveal the real "fangs", the audience can take a breath of cold air, and then sigh with "hindsight"

There are not many "So That's So" movies.

To be honest, in the past, some viewers who read more films, such as Lao Goose, were not unaware of the possibility of "reversal".

It's just that the previous characters and the plot were all very well laid out and so logical that in the final stage, when the director revealed the last trump card, the audience, even those who had guessed a little bit, could not help but feel a sense of comfort.

Cool.

Yes, it's refreshing.

As mentioned before, in this road show, even if most of the audience who bought tickets are not fans of Ding Zhi, they actually have a lot of favorable impressions of this or the only top star in the industry.

So when Ding Zhi plays a "protagonist" who doesn't have a strong sense of presence, it's actually somewhat uncomfortable to watch.

Until Ding Zhi tore off the "disguise", in addition to an unexpected surprise, there was also...

"Hey! I feel comfortable!"

The old goose uttered these words softly.

The sound was very low, probably only Miss Guan next to her could hear it.

At this point in the movie, the biggest burden has actually been left behind, and the word "unparalleled" has also been given the best explanation.

At the back is the ending.

The Ruan Wen who came to vouch for Li Wen was actually a fake. The real Ruan Wen actually returned to the northwest region of the country after being discharged from the hospital and never moved again.

And the fake Ruan Wen was the woman Li Wen "picked up" in the Golden Triangle. After she was injured and disfigured, Li Wen had plastic surgery to look like Ruan Wen.

...

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"Do you think I can refuse you?"

After the clouds and rain, the weather is calm.

The shirtless Ding Zhi sat beside the bed and lit a cigarette.

"Speaking of which, how did you remember me so clearly after meeting me twice?"

The fake "Ruan Wen" was lying on his side on the bed, unfolding a letter in his hand. His upper body was also naked without any strands of hair. The only thing that was special was that from his shoulders to his waist, he was covered by a large scar that looked particularly scary and ugly.

Those were burns. Li Wen got burned when he led his men to destroy the Golden Triangle village.

Ruan Wenzheng spread out a piece of letter paper, and the words on the letter paper were all written in blue ink.

It starts with TO: Xiu Qing.

Xiu Qing is the real name of the fake Ruan Wen.

On the back of the letter, there is a lifelike portrait, which is exactly what Xiu Qing looked like before she underwent plastic surgery and became Ruan Wen.

"Talent! Otherwise, how would you do this?"

Li Wen didn't look back, he just put the cigarette in his mouth, took another puff, and exhaled.

Xiuqing stood up and looked at Li Wen's strong back with a smile.

"Is it as simple as just talent?"

Li Wen nodded.

"What else?"

...

"Pfft~"

In the audience, Miss Guan next to Lao Gou suddenly chuckled.

It's really...until there's no straight answer anymore.

Perhaps it could be said that Li Wen didn't love this woman at all.

"Then when you hugged me just now, were you looking at her appearance or mine? In your heart, were you thinking about me or her?"

"It's you I'm holding."

Li Wen stood up and stood in front of the sink.

"In fact, how can people like us get the best? If we can find a replacement, God has been very good to us. At least everyone can get some comfort."

Applying shaving cream to himself in front of the mirror, Li Wen continued, "Let me tell you, sometimes the fake is better than the real thing. As long as we try to love as truly as possible, isn't that enough?"

Xiuqing didn't put on any clothes, walked to the sofa and picked up Li Wen's cigarette.

"Try your best, how can you try your best?"

"We have shown our faces this time, and it's time to change our faces again. I will become whatever you want me to be, okay?"

"Click."

Xiuqing lit a cigarette, and the smoke dispersed, seeming to bring tears to her eyes.

She listened quietly and looked at the ceiling. What showed in her eyes was a slow sadness. Nothing could be greater than the death of her heart.

"Good, very good."

The music sounded slowly and the camera slowly zoomed out.

The man is shaving in front of the mirror, and the woman is smoking a cigarette in front of the sofa with red eyes, like a well-composed portrait.

The two of them had just been doing the most intimate things, and now they seemed so far apart.

...

When a woman can take huge risks for you and assume an identity in front of the police just to rescue you.

Just because Li Wen drew a face on the back of that letter, that beautiful and real face.

Then it can also drag you into hell just because you cheated on her, or you don't care at all.

On the way to escape, Li Wen and Xiu Qing were betrayed by Xiu Qing again, and then they were buried in a sea of ​​fire.

The ending was unexpected by the audience, but it was actually reasonable.

Finally, Inspector He Weilan went to the northwest of the mainland, found the real Ruan Wen who was painting there, told her the news of Funny's arrest, and took out Li Wen's photo.

"Do you still recognize him?"

Zhen Ruan Wen took it and frowned slightly, seeming to be recalling.

"I remember, at first, it seemed that this person lived next door to me."

It turns out that back in Vancouver, Li Wen was just an unfamiliar neighbor of Ruan Wen, and the two were not as close lovers as Li Wen said at the police station.

In the story "Wushuang", the real Li Wen is like a rat hiding in the sewers from beginning to end.

The "Wu Fusheng" in his imagination was actually a silhouette of himself in his fantasy.

His deception skills are unparalleled, that is to say, he even deceived himself.

...

...

The publicity campaign of "Wushuang" itself is very expensive, both online and offline promotions are well laid out, not to mention that as soon as the gimmick of "Ding Zhi's new film" came out, the emotional brand of "Brother Ma" was handed over

, coupled with the results of the creative team’s road shows in major cities in recent days, this film has almost become a “must-see” film during the National Day holiday.

The most direct effect is that before it was released on October 1st, the pre-sale box office directly exceeded 150 million.

This pre-sale box office is actually not that exaggerated for Ding Zhi.

After all, with the success of "The God of Medicine" earlier this year, whether it is pre-sale box office or subsequent performance and reputation, the chance of surpassing itself in a short period of time is not great.

Even though the early publicity campaign of "Your Aunt" by Happy Maodou next door was not too fierce, its pre-sale box office actually exceeded 100 million. The gap between it and "Wushuang" is not big, and it can be regarded as a small one.

The dark horse made a mistake.

In this way, a considerable part of the pressure was actually placed on "Wushuang".

To put it bluntly, it is good news that the pre-sale box office exceeds 100 million, but after the market has improved in the past two days,

But for a purely Hong Kong film, it has already reached the ceiling of the pre-sale box office.

And this is just the beginning.

October 1st is the first day of the National Day holiday.

With a pre-sale box office of 150 million, "Wushuang" won the first-day box office championship with 280 million.

Immediately afterwards, it exceeded 800 million in one week, directly surpassing all the films in the same period by several places.

Especially the comedy "Your Aunt", before its release, because of its good pre-sale box office, many people felt that it was the only film in this period that could compete with "Wushuang".

Who would have known that after the box office fell by more than 50 million on the first day, it continued to decline in the following days, and its reputation was also poor. It can be said that it created a new low in the reputation of Kaixin Edamame.

The opposite is "Wushuang".

Before a movie starts shooting, the casting of characters is actually more based on the actor's box office appeal, which is probably a "lower limit."

After it is released, what can determine the upper limit of box office performance is actually the quality of the film itself.

——"Awesome!!! It can be said that it is the most interesting work among Hong Kong films in the past ten years!"

——"The deepest feeling is...Fa Ge is so handsome. There are several pretentious performances in the film, and no one else can be trusted."

Only when Fa Ge is "pretending", people feel just right. It's obviously "nonsense", but it feels "natural", and it's obviously "coaxing", but it feels "certain".

This is the charm of an actor."

——"Fa Ge is so handsome! I dreamed back to "A Better Tomorrow"!! What surprised me even more was that Ding Zhi was able to integrate into this authentic Hong Kong film without any sense of disobedience!

This is something even Uncle Dao Ming and the others can’t do!”

——"I'm a stickler for details! After this movie was released, I have watched it three times! The first thing that shocked me was the "narrator trick" in which Ding Zhi and Fa Ge are two sides of the same coin.

In fact, I guessed this possibility when the plot progressed into the first half. Because of the silence of the military uniform "Wu Fusheng", and because almost the entire plot relied on Li Wen's narration.

But the moment the answer was revealed, I still had goosebumps all over my body!! This shocking feeling was brought to me by the cowardly and effervescent Li Wen played by Ding Zhi!

You know, the "Wu Fusheng" played by Fa Ge was born out of fantasy. He can be flawless and very dazzling.

What I find more interesting is the protagonist Li Wen.

In the first hour and fifty minutes, he acted as a narrator to set off Wu Fusheng's mysterious power and ruthlessness.

But in fact, he is a real person.

He is even a somewhat vulgar, somewhat dark, and full of strength and cowardice character!

Some people say that it is because of "Wu Fusheng" played by Fa Ge that people think this character is believable. In fact, I think it is Ding Zhi's performance that enhances the credibility of "Li Wen" and "Wu Fusheng".

!”

——"The details of this movie are so awesome! I also admire the director's professional attitude. He actually shot the part of printing US dollar bills so professionally, with microprinting, color-changing ink, and acid-free paper... I was stunned for a moment.

.In my impression, this is the first movie that directly depicts the part of printing money, awesome!"

——"The role of Fa Ge is too advantageous. To be honest, in this drama, Ding Zhi only showed his true colors in the last ten minutes!"

A heavy investment was made in the promotion of the film itself, and the follow-up traffic was also fierce. Suddenly, both the quality of the film and the reputation of the major platforms on the Internet showed a crushing tendency.

The most important thing is that after the reputation of "Your Aunt" plummeted and it withdrew from the competition early, "Wushuang" looked around and found that there was no one-stop enemy in this period.

A week after it was released, the film scheduling rates given by major theater chains actually increased instead of falling, with a film scheduling rate of over 40%.

It exceeded 800 million in one week and 1.3 billion in two weeks.

In fact, before the movie was released, the studio's highest expectation was to exceed one billion.

It only took a little more than a week for "Wushuang" to reach this "high expectation", and then half a month later, it directly broke the record for the highest box office of a Hong Kong film!!!

Yes, in fact, before this, the highest box office record for a Hong Kong film in the Mainland was "The Ambition" two years ago, with 1.226 billion.

The director of that film unfortunately passed away in a car accident after making the film.

The success of that movie was not only due to the excellent quality of the movie itself, but also to some extent due to the "posthumous" content of the director of the movie.

To put it bluntly, one billion is actually the ceiling for Hong Kong movies.

But now "Wushuang" really took two weeks to directly break through this invisible "ceiling"!

Many people are even looking forward to whether this film can continue to advance.

...

...

"Believe it or not, some people are really lucky."

In the office, Yu Donghai put down the tea cup in his hand, with a few red wolfberries floating in it.

He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Guoli opposite the desk.

"Mr. Yu, you called me here so early in the morning, you didn't just want to talk to me about fortune tellers. But I am quite familiar with the White Dragon King of Thailand. If you are interested, I can invite him here?"

Cheng Guoli didn't seem very reserved in front of Yu Donghai, the leader of Bona.

"A lot of effort has been spent on the promotion of "Wushuang", and even if the quality itself is top-notch, otherwise Zhou Runfa would not have been hired. To get this result is actually an unexpected surprise, but it is not too surprising.

.Mr. Yu, you are a little too high-minded about Ding Zhi."

Yu Donghai shook his head.

"Logically speaking, you Hong Kong Islanders should believe in this kind of thing more than I do. However, let's put aside those illusory things and let's put aside the experience of the draft.

Since Ding Zhi became famous five years ago, not one of his works has failed. You may say that he is lucky or strong, but the results are the most important.

I know that you may have some grudges with him, but now he is useful to us. Lao Cheng, please don't use your methods on him yet."

Cheng Guoli's smile faded slightly, then bloomed again.

"How is that possible! We are both businessmen, and what matters is that harmony brings wealth. He can help the company make money, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pamper him in time. Whatever you say, Mr. Yu, I, Lao Cheng, will tell you the truth!"
