But this movie was like a curse that he could never break.
After that, he directed some other films, which received mediocre reviews and were not very successful at the box office. His fame within the industry was nothing like it used to be.
Many people said his talent had dried up.
He wouldn't admit it.
He couldn't understand why Special Combat Vigor had been so popular back then?
It was an action revenge movie with no deep meaning, and the filming techniques were ordinary, but it had somehow become a hit.
Whenever people mentioned him, they would remember Special Combat Vigor.
He was pleased but also somewhat frustrated about it.
He always wanted to surpass his previous work and make a better movie, one that would reach new heights in both acclaim and box office sales.
He wanted the world to know that he was capable, that it wasn't just luck and a good moment that had made Special Combat Vigor a success, but his own talent.
"Knock, knock."
