So many, this also made him the first actor with a box office of more than 15 billion among Chinese movie stars.
Wu Jing’s journey from entering the entertainment industry to the present is not easy. In fact, Wu Jing debuted quite early, but he has always been tepid. Through his own hard work and persistence, Wu Jing has years of experience. Accumulation combined with the precipitation of acting skills, finally broke out a piece of his own world in his 30s.
So, why can Wu Jing suddenly become popular from obscurity before to now? The following editor will take you to talk about Wu Jing's rough life.
1. The choice of acting road
Wu Jing has been practicing martial arts since he was 6 years old. His master was Wu Bin, a famous martial arts master at the time, and even the now very famous martial arts actor Li Lianjie is his apprentice, so Wu Jing is considered to be a good disciple. This is Jet Li’s younger brother.
Under the guidance of his master Wu Bin, Wu Jing had won many martial arts championships. It was also because of his master Wu Bin that Wu Jing was lucky enough to be on the road of performing arts.
received his Virgo movie "Kung Fu Boys Breaking Love" in 1995 under the recommendation of his master Wu Bin. The response of the movie is also good. The editor also watched this movie specially, it was really good, not only humorous and funny, but also martial arts composition is remarkable.
Then Wu Jing received several movies and TV series in succession from 1998 to 2003, and each role was different, but each funny performance and neat martial arts scenes gave Wu Jing a certain amount Fame, which also allowed Wu Jing to accumulate a lot of experience during this period.
Wu Jing played the protagonist Yang Yuqian in the TV series "Tai Chi Master". He is handsome and free and easy to use. He is good at martial arts, especially when he is looking for a famous teacher to learn the art, he is very exciting when he seeks medical advice from his brothers.
martial arts scenes plus the plot of love and love can be regarded as a blank situation in the TV series at that time. At that time, when "Tai Chi Master" was filmed, it received many people's pursuit, and it is precisely because this drama was really true. Known by the public.
But at that time, Wu Jing was not satisfied with the current results. Because Wu Jing, a martial artist, wanted to better show the characteristics of kung fu movies, Wu Jing decisively gave up the resources of mainland TV dramas and went directly to Hong Kong for development.
At that time, the film and television industry in Hong Kong was not mature enough and the production was very rough, but Hong Kong TV dramas were flourishing. Before Wu Jing came to Hong Kong because he was dissatisfied with the limitations of TV dramas, so Wu Jing's decision at that time was an inevitable choice of that era.
2. The arduous journey after the choice
Wu Jing just came to Hong Kong,
Wu Jing first entered the Hong Kong film and television circle, at that time he did not know anyone, had no contacts, and no resources, and he did not dare to use one after that Newcomers come to make movies, so in the first year they are basically in a state of rest, there is no drama to film.
then slowly expanded contacts and found relationships, and finally participated in the movie "Slaying the Wolf". But in this film, Wu Jing's role is pitiful, and he also plays a big villain.
During this period, filming insisted that no substitutes were needed, all of which had to be actual combat, even the speeding explosion had to be on his own, and the filming became his label.
From the leading actor in the country to the small supporting role in Hong Kong, Wu Jing was at a loss at that time and wondered whether his choice was correct.
has no choice but to stick to it. Afterwards, Wu Jing starred in "Black Fist" and is still a small role, but in the subsequent "Men's True Colors", he finally appeared in the male number one, the villain's male number one. .
is also because of Wu Jing's outstanding performance and extraordinary acting skills in "The True Colors of Men", so that he won the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actor nomination (still a supporting role).
Wu Jing, who has been working hard in supporting roles in Hong Kong, has slowly accumulated some fame, but unfortunately, the film industry in Hong Kong is gradually declining, which makes Wu Jing’s career encounter a bottleneck again, this time it’s a blow Let Wu Jing understand that if you want to get ahead, you still have to rely on yourself. Finally, Wu JingHad to choose to return to the mainland for development.
3. It is better to beg for yourself, and everything is on your own
. After returning to the mainland, Wu Jing realized that instead of begging for others, it is better to beg yourself by self-direction. After
, Wu Jing began to switch from an actor to a self-directed and self-acted. So in 2008, Wu Jing’s Virgo movie "Wolf Tooth" was released. Because of the first filming, Wu Jing did not hold much hope. In the end, although the box office was not high, he did not bring There was too much income, but Wu Jing saw his own shortcomings from this film, learned a lot of experience, and laid a solid foundation for subsequent shooting.
After summing up the previous experience, in 2013, Wu Jing directed and acted in an unpopular movie "Wolf Warrior". Because it was relatively unpopular, it was not favored by everyone at the beginning of the shooting, which led to many encounters during the shooting. difficult.
has no money, no investment, and can't afford to hire first-line stars. Wu Jing gambled on all his belongings. Fortunately, there is a wife who supports him. This is also Wu Jing's only motivation. Fortunately, the last one is not steamed. The filming is finished.
As a result, after the release of "Wolf Warriors", it was a big success. The first day it was released, it won 40 million yuan in the box office. It also opened the door to the unpopular field of military action movies and won a new high in the box office. Let those who do not invest and are not optimistic. People were shocked, as if overnight, Wu Jing's name was once again well-known to everyone and received rave reviews.
And because of the film "Wolf Warrior" Wu Jing also won many good resources, good connections, and many awards in the later period. Taking advantage of the victory, Wu Jing spent two years filming "Wolf Warriors 2". Because this film was positioned as a military combat theme from the beginning, the shooting environment of "Wolf Warriors 2" was even worse than the first one. Many celebrities are reluctant to shoot because of the harsh environment.
But fortunately, Wu Jing's vision is correct. After the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the box office once climbed, which once again proved Wu Jing's strength.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has won endless recognition and benefits for Wu Jing, while also pushing Wu Jing's military kung fu movies to a very high position.
later was the sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth". At that time, Wu Jing should have seen his shadow from the director Guo Fan. Therefore, when everyone was not optimistic about Chinese sci-fi movies, Wu Jing starred in a zero-paid role, and he was also self-employed. He paid out 60 million to support the production of the film.
Wu Jing didn't think about making money at the time. It was because of his unwillingness to admit defeat at the time, that made Chinese science fiction movies a success.
Wu Jing said in an interview before, "Science fiction movies like this are better than no one even if they are bad. If we don’t try to shoot such hard science fiction movies, China will never have such science fiction. The movie appeared." Fortunately, "Wandering Earth" finally succeeded.
, together with "The Climber" and "My Country and Me" released on the National Day file, have achieved good results so far.
looked back and found that success was accomplished on the road of failure. In the past few years, Wu Jing has existed like a myth in the film industry. As long as he participated in the movies, they were popular, such as the low-cost production of "Good Teacher". The appearance of Wu Jing in the movie now seems to have become a guarantee for the box office.
It can be seen from Wu Jing’s decades of experience in the performing arts circle that a person who is willing to work hard for his dream will always achieve something. Sometimes it’s just a matter of time. When the opportunity comes, as long as you can catch it and do it Well, it will always make your efforts and dedication shine.
Although it is said that people who work hard will not necessarily succeed in the end, the people who succeed in the end are only because of their unremitting efforts.
Wu Jing spent 18 years in his acting career to accumulate his own experience. During this period, he always had dreams, did not change his original aspiration, and persevered, only in exchange for the success at the age of 39, he became a domestic first-line movie star.
In short, no one can see a rainbow without going through wind and rain, and no one can succeed casually.
