There was such a movie in 2019 that not only scored a high score of 7.7 on Douban, but also became one of the most amazing movies in 2019 because of its compact plot and continuous twists. That’s right. , this is "Manslaughter"! Xiao Yang also won the Popular Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor (nominated) for his role as Li Weijie in the film. Xiao Yang will still have many scenes in "Detective Chinatown 3" this year. However, at this time we will have questions. Where did Wang Taili, who formed Chopsticks Brothers with Xiao Yang at that time, go? Why is Xiao Yang becoming more and more popular but news about him gradually disappears?
Wang Taili drifted to Beijing a long time ago. In order to make a living, he worked as an insurance salesman, set up a street stall and fried fried dough sticks. There were several times when he could no longer live in Beijing and returned to his hometown. After a while, he saved money. He paid a few hundred dollars and came back because Wang Taili had always had a dream about art. By chance, Wang Taili met Xiao Yang, and the two invested in a funny MV together. This was the prototype of Chopsticks Brothers. , as for why they are called Chopstick Brothers, two chopsticks are indispensable, and for the two brothers, it also means that no one can live without the other.
Afterwards, good luck finally favored two hard-working people. Wang Taili and Xiao Yang became popular all over the country with "Oldboy". The thinking and pain of youth in the film also aroused the attention of many people* **Ming, the theme song of the same name is still among the top three in KTV on-demand. Later, the two collaborated with Huo Siyan in the micro-movie "Father". The clips about father's love in it made people cry, and also greatly increased the popularity of the Chopsticks Brothers again. .
As for the subsequent brainwashing song "Little Apple", I don't need to say more. It has now become the favorite of square dancing aunties, and Xiao Yang and Wang Taili's ambitions at this time are no longer limited to Micro-movie, so in 2014, the big movie "Oldboy: The Dragon Crossing the River", which the two collaborated on, was released. However, this also became the Waterloo for the two of them. The film received a devastating blow both in terms of reputation and box office. After the failure of this movie, the two rarely appeared on the same stage again. After that, they mostly appeared in public events in their personal capacity.
Wang Taili, who is nearly 50 years old, does not have many opportunities. In addition, he has a relatively reserved personality and is not good at dealing with the media, so he gradually retreats behind the scenes. However, Xiao Yang, who is much younger, has received more opportunities. His performance in "The Lover" was recognized by the public. The subsequent "Detective Chinatown" series made Xiao Yang famous again, not to mention last year's "Manslaughter", which could have made him a god. Xiao Yang also gradually returned to stardom. In the first-line camp, Wang Taili, on the other hand, seemed much more lonely.
However, we cannot think that Wang Taili is a failure. Wang Taili, who has retreated behind the scenes, has devoted more time to his music dream and the tutoring and education of his daughter. Wang Taili’s daughter Wang Wanchen this year After participating in "Youth with You Season 2", Wang Taili can be regarded as a winner in life because he can do what he likes to do. Xiao Yang also publicly canvassed for his niece on Weibo, which shows that the relationship between the chopstick brothers is still Very nice.
In my opinion, true brothers do not share the same destiny for a lifetime. Being able to accompany you for a while in the best time is enough. Everyone has his own different path, and some paths are destined. We have to finish it by ourselves, as long as we remember the good times we have walked together, as long as you turn around, brothers will always be there. What do you think?
