there is nothing wrong in pursuing your dreams, but if you pursue your dreams, you must be prepared to be beaten to a pulp by reality.

this time, it was the turn of the entertainment industry's "dream-chasing young master" xiang zuo to be injured:the biggest box office disaster of martial arts movies happened! it was related to him.

the 40-year-old xiang zuo and his wife guo biting starred in the martial arts film "the treasure land at the doorstep", the film was released for 3 days, but the box office was dismal, with the cumulative box office for 3 days being only 1.28 million. the box office on the third day was only 250,000 yuan, which had already fallen to the 20th place in the single-day box office of that day.

xiang zuoalso a producer, but the box office of "the treasure land at the doorstep", which was his first time as a producer, was a complete failure.

you know,this movie is said to have a production cost of over 200 million, but now it only has a box office revenue of one million. it's really embarrassing, not even a splash of water was made.

the director and screenwriter of this film, xu haofeng, is still a favorite of many martial arts fans. his previous works include "master" and "the archer liu baiyuan》《hidden man behind the blade》 were both well received.

in addition to xiang zuo and guo biting, the other male lead, andy on, has also gained a good reputation in the field of domestic action films in recent years.

but who would have thought that this time, louis koo personally served as the producer, brought his wife along, hired director xu haofeng, and now with andy on, it still failed at the box office. should we stop and think about why?

actually, the movie didn't do that badly at the box office.the kung fu is there, the tone is there, and the aesthetics are there, all of which are very xu haofeng.

but movies have to tell stories, and they still need both literary and martial arts performances. when it comes to performing in literary dramas, xiang zuo's shortcomings are quite obvious. even though "the treasure land in front of the door" tries to make up for it with more martial arts scenes, it is still very weak.

the film was also criticized early on when it premiered at the shanghai film festival last year.

at the same time, such a low box office also shows that xiang zuo lacks box office appeal, but the audience is not buying it and the market lacks confidence. his confidence alone is far from enough to support the box office.

first of all, we have to admit that xiang zuo has a dream of making a kung fu movie and is quite hard on himself.

he has expressed his dream of making a kung fu movie many times in public and on variety shows. when practicing kung fu and filming fighting scenes, this "second-generation star with the strongest background in hong kong's film and television industry" never slacked off.

his muscular body is the result of hard training. jet li has a very good relationship with his parents, xiang huaqiang and chen lan. xiang zuo became jet li's apprentice at an early age.

in his early years, his parents and his master jet li also supported xiang zuo's dream. he filmed "huo yuanjia》《72 tenants》《the letter of invitation》《ex》《lovers' whispers》《the king's avatar》 and other movies, and he has collaborated with jet li many times.

xiang huaqiang and chen lan also invested in a blockbuster movie "legend of the gods》。

the film was led by jet li, louis koo, tony leung and others, and it attracted almost half of the chinese film and television circles at the time. the film was released in 2016 and caused quite a sensation at the time.

the stars originally wanted to promote xiang zuo, who played lei zhenzi, and wanted to help him succeed. however, this movie not only failed to help xiang zuo's career take off, but instead became a shameful work for the participating stars. it received a douban score of only 3 points and was considered a bad movie by the audience.

xiang zuo has never been able to truly "fly" in the entertainment industry.

although he is already 40 years old, xiang zuo is still "infatuated and bravely pursuing his dreams". in recent years, he has been participating in variety shows and reality shows to frequently make his presence felt.

in the first half of this year, xiang zuo participated in the variety show "infinite beyond class》 sparked a topic. in the show, xu juncong asked xiang zuo where he got injured while filming action scenes. xiang zuo said: "no one who practices martial arts or shoots martial arts scenes has a healthy body."

xiang zuo revealed that his body was covered with scars from filming, from his pinky to his meniscus. xiang zuo mentioned that his pinky on his right hand was broken, and that "his waist and neck were broken, and two-thirds of his meniscus was removed."

regarding his injury, xiang zuo also posted a message saying:"i hope everyone will cherish our chinese quintessence of kung fu, and i hope to spread such a meaningful and profound culture through programs and film and television projects. i just want to share the stories behind the martial arts actors."

xiang zuo himself has high hopes for starring in "the treasure land at the doorstep".

in an interview with the media, xiang zuo said that he participated in the variety show to increase his exposure and popularity and to make himself famous. his purpose was to let more people know him and pay attention to this martial arts movie "the treasure land at the doorstep".

xiang zuo takes this movie very seriously and even regards it as his life. he believes that after watching this movie, he will be able to forget the "fake xiang zuo" in variety shows. he believes that the one in "the treasure land in front of the door" is the "real xiang zuo".

he revealed that he turned down a role in the hong kong action film "the treasure land" in order to star in "the treasure land".kowloon walled city: the siege》 (the film was a hit in the first half of the year and the cumulative box office has exceeded 900 million), but he does not regret it, because everyone has his or her own "kowloon walled city" in his or her hearts.

however, xiang zuo's remarks immediately aroused backlash from netizens.

many people expressed their gratitude for not acting."i hope he won't participate in the last two parts." it seems that everyone is not convinced by the young master's confidence.

after so many years of experiences, i believe xiang zuo has become stronger inside.

this time,"the treasure land at the doorstep", which he regarded as his confidence, suffered a box office failure. will xiang zuo fall down and then get up again to continue chasing his dream?
