Speaking of Zhang Jin, everyone should know him, but the impression he left on people was not very deep. After the broadcast of "Slaying Wolf 2", Zhang Jin became popular. "Zhang Jin in a suit can't afford it" finally let Zhang Jin was deeply impressed in everyone's minds. The warden he played in the movie was cruel, and his martial arts movements were clean and neat. Coupled with a straight suit, it completely changed the fans' perception of him.
Actually before "Slaying the Wolf 2", Zhang Jin had always participated in the movie as a martial arts instructor and supporting role, but Zhang Jin finally ushered in a chance for himself with his excellent performance in this movie, 2017 The first movie "Beasts" starring him was finally released, but the film finally appeared at the box office and word-of-mouth embarrassment. The Douban score was 5.0, and the total box office was only 67.81 million, which is a huge cost of 100 million yuan. The production was not enough. In the end, the film party lost nearly 80 million on this film.
Zhang Jin was embarrassed. After working hard for several years, he finally got the chance to play the lead role. Unexpectedly, he let the filming party lose the money. No one can accept it. Although "Slaying the Wolf 2" made Zhang Jin a hit, But in terms of his appeal, he is still far behind. Fans don't pay for the movie he starred in. This movie also instantly brought Zhang Jin back to the cause.
However, this failure did not seem to have had any impact on Zhang Jin. Soon the "Ip Man" crew came to him again, and Zhang Jin's performance in "Ip Man 3" was still affirmed by everyone. The box office of 769 million is also the highest among the three Ye Wen films, so Zhang Jin once again cooperated with the Yip Man crew to produce "Ip Man Side Story: Zhang Tianzhi", which is the second film starring Zhang Jin.
Unfortunately, "Zhang Tianzhi" starring Zhang Jin hit the street again. Douban scored 5.6 points and the box office was 131 million. At first glance, this data is more beautiful than the previous one, but if you know that the investment of this movie is 200 million yuan, it is estimated that I don’t have this idea. The final share of the film is only 44.99 million yuan, which is even worse than the previous step.
Only two movies made the filmmakers lose 225 million yuan in anger. Zhang Jin was embarrassed. Who would have thought that he was so bad at the box office when he had just gotten hot. It is estimated that no one will look for him to cooperate in the future. After all, the filmmakers want to make money to make movies. Yes, although Zhang Jin is hot, he can't afford the box office. Who would dare to use you? Zhang Jin who put on a suit can't afford it, but Zhang Jin who takes off his suit really can't afford the box office.
Zhang Jin is indeed much worse than Donnie Yen in this respect. Although they both shot the "Ip Man" series, they feel completely different. The image created by Donnie Yen in "Ip Man" is very popular. Only Donnie Yen can play the gentle masters of the exercises. After all, this series is led by Donnie Yen, and Zhang Jin is really inappropriate.
It can be seen from the final box office of the two movies that Zhang Jin monoclonal antibody is really inferior to Donnie Yen. Although Donnie Yen has performed very badly in the past two years, who can be more suitable for the "Ip Man" series? Everyone has become accustomed to Donnie Yen being the protagonist of "Ip Man", and the film has changed to Zhang Jin halfway, so the audience will naturally not buy it.
Now the two movies have completely beat Zhang Jin back to the prototype. It is estimated that it will be difficult to have a chance in the future. Finally, he became popular, but he could not seize the opportunity. I can only say that Zhang Jin was too cautious. In fact, Zhang Jin Has always been a very hardworking and low-key person, but this kind of personality is not good in the entertainment circle. After all, there is no topicality, and your fire is only temporary. After this period of time, everyone will forget it. Wear No one dared to provoke Zhang Jin who put on a suit, but Zhang Jin who took off his suit really couldn't. Do you think Zhang Jin can carry the box office without his suit? Comments are welcome!
