In recent years, if you want to talk about the box office appeal of the domestic film industry, I believe that no matter how the audience ranks, Wu Jing cannot be avoided. After being applauded and acclaimed with the self-directed and self-acting performance of "Wolf Warriors 2", Wu Jing's great success through "Wandering Earth" once again made the audience feel Wu Jing's inner heroic complex and feelings of a big country. Now the National Day is approaching. Although there are not many National Day films, Wu Jing seems to have become the biggest winner. The two National Day films "The Climber" and "Me and My Motherland" starring in Wu Jing are already on pre-sale before they are released. Period stands out.
Why did Wu Jing become "box office appeal"? After Wu Jing won the national martial arts competition in the elite spear technique and pair training championships in 1994, he was discovered by scouts and brought him into the entertainment circle. Wu Jing, who has just entered the entertainment circle, has actually been developing in the field of TV dramas. Because of Wu Jing's good martial arts skills, most of the scenes Wu Jing received in his early days were martial arts action drama roles. Although Wu Jing has also become famous in the audiences' minds with several popular TV shows, it is far from reaching the level of "becoming box office appeal". Especially after the martial arts drama no longer adapts to the market, Wu Jing's situation is still very embarrassing. He desperately needs to find a new position for himself.
How is Wu Jing's acting skills? It can only be said that there are few flaws, but it is definitely not the master level in everyone's mind, and it is difficult to break through to the realm of one person with a thousand faces. So why can Wu Jing achieve achievements that many "master-level" actors can't match? In this regard, Wu Jing is smarter than other actors, and he knows how to locate himself. Wu Jing has good martial arts skills. According to ordinary people's thinking, he should be easier to develop in the martial arts field. But what will happen if Wu Jing stubbornly bans himself in the martial arts scene? Perhaps Wu Jing will never be able to surpass the mountains of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen in his life. But a little change, the same martial arts action scene, in the field of military themes, it is not so competitive. Although there are many military-themed TV series, military-themed movies are almost a "desert." The most important thing is that in the small category of military-themed movies, whoever can produce one or two good works without a head actor in it may become the "big brother".
was the era who chose Wu Jing, but at the same time Wu Jing also seized the opportunity. When Wu Jing filmed "Wolf Warrior" for the first time, the storyline and content of the film were not much worse than the second one, but in terms of film feedback and audience, it was far behind the second one. "Wolf Warrior" released in 2008, perhaps many viewers have never heard of such a film. But after the market settled down and the military theme was heated up by the "I Am a Special Forces" series, "Wolf Warrior 2" was a big success. Although many fans are unwilling to admit it, Wu Jing did succeed by relying on the heroic complex and the feeling of great power.
Sonar point of view: Choice is more important than effort. This principle applies to all industries. Wu Jing's success is indeed because of his diligence, because of his courage in selling houses and filming, because he can do everything well with his heart. But I believe no one will deny that Wu Jingying is "overtaking on a curve". The transformation after "Capture the Commander" was too critical for Wu Jing. Only after breaking away from the martial arts circle of Hong Kong movies can Wu Jing find a new direction. To be honest, if Wu Jing still stays in the Hong Kong film circle, even if Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan have not frequently produced works in recent years, Wu Jing will not become the one to succeed them.
