athletes will choose to become stars, or go abroad for further studies and so on. But there are very few people who go to sea to do business after retiring. Wu Bing was a double champion in gymnastics and synchronized swimming . She became famous in the sports world. After retiring, she also chose to go to sea to do business. The company she founded has also become a listed company. But I didn't expect that in the end, 4.4 billion was swept away and fled to the United States, which made countless hearts chill. So why would she do this?
The turning point in life
A drama is like life, and life is like a drama. Wu Bing has experienced countless ups and downs in her life, and she can always achieve the leap of identity in the ups and downs.
was born in the imperial city since she was a child, and she did not have a few years of happy childhood. She liked to sing since she was a child, and was selected to practice gymnastics at the gymnastics school at the age of 5. The reason why the gymnastics teacher chose her was somewhat unexpected. The teacher said: "This child looks smart, he is a little smart." In this way, Wu Bing began his long 12-year gymnastics career.
Sports school life is not so easy, a 5-year-old child, she needs to have all abilities, self-control, endurance, physical strength and even the perseverance to practice. Therefore, the life of the sports school made her miserable, but she gritted her teeth.
Every morning at 6:00, she will start training until she goes to bed at night. Since she is too young to take a bath, she falls asleep with talcum powder on her hands when she sleeps.
In order to exercise her flexibility, the coach will sit on her body for 5 minutes every day. A child weighing dozens of pounds, with the weight of an adult on her body, made her sweat profusely, and the pain on her body made her hiss. In the face of such cruel training, the coach looked cold-blooded and ruthless: "It's useless for you to cry, you have to practice when you cry." In this way, the 5-year-old continued to grit her teeth until she was 17.
Later, when she recalled those days, she gritted her teeth and made people dare not approach: "That's really painful, since then I feel that there is nothing more painful than practicing gymnastics." It is precisely this unspeakable passage. The experience has also allowed Wu Bing to cultivate the most rare quality since childhood, tenacity.
As the saying goes: After the storm, there will be a rainbow, and the sweat on the way has also made Wu Bing gain a lot.
At the age of 13, she won the national gymnastics women's all-around champion. By the age of 17, she has won countless medals. Of course, she also accumulated a whole body of injuries.
was later unable to go abroad to participate due to family reasons. Seeing her teammates come back with medals made her even more tormented.
At this moment, she learned that Beijing had set up the first women's synchronized swimming team. The regulations of the competition were less than the regulations of gymnastics. Wu Bing thought that this was an opportunity, so she practiced swimming again. With her energy, she won the national synchronized swimming championship two years later.
The goal has been achieved, she is looking for the next goal, what is she going to do?
As she grows older, Wu Bing also begins to have her own ideas. An athlete can't do it for a lifetime, she has to change her way of life.
So, after retiring, she was recommended to be sent to the sports academy, but even though she has become a college student, she still needs to represent the school to participate in the competition. On weekdays, the school also specially approves that she does not need to attend classes, and she is also training in her spare time. At first, it was no different from her previous life. This kind of life once bored Wu Bing.
finally got an opportunity to go to Melbourne, Australia to be a gymnastics coach in 1988. Even if her domestic life was stable, she could be a coach as long as she went to school for two more years. But she believes that her life should have many kinds of impossibility. She wants to tap her potential to see how capable she is.
So she left China resolutely and went to Melbourne , where her life was more comfortable than before, with a high salary and a big house, but life in Australia made this ambitious girl feel to incompatibility.
The life there is relatively comfortable and comfortable. The locals have a half-year vacation every year. People there go to the beach to bask in the sun, and lie down for a day. This kind of life is very different from what Wu Bing expected.
So she turned around and went to teach in New York, USA. Life in New York made her feel like a duck to water, but at the same time, her coaching job encountered a serious problem.
When domestic children practice sports, they all need coaches to restrain them, but in the United States, coaches do not have such rights. On the contrary, they cannot beat or scold children during training. This made Wu Bing, who had the idea of a strict teacher and a high-level apprentice, completely helpless.
Life is like this, when things are going well, there are problems, and when people are discouraged, they turn around. As everyone knows, Wu Bing's life is also quietly reversed.
Just when she was disappointed and helpless, a turning point appeared. The turning point of
's life
In 1991, Jackie Chan was filming the movie " Stage Sisters " and needed a girl who could turn somersaults. Wu Bing accidentally got this opportunity. It was this accident that turned her life around and brought Wu Bing directly into the Hong Kong film industry.
Of course, it was not smooth when he first entered the industry, and he was often beaten with black and blue patches on his body. However, because of years of gymnastics skills, some jobs are relatively easy to get started with. The period of
was the heyday of Hong Kong martial arts films, and Wu Bing's steady gymnastics skills also made her quickly become popular.
As a result, she also got a lot of acting opportunities. In three years, she took 15 film and television dramas. At most, she took three dramas at the same time, and she didn't even have time to sleep.
With Wu Bing's popularity in front of the camera, Wu Bing's remuneration is getting higher and higher, and each film has 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. As living conditions are getting better and better, she chose to retire.
The media at that time were saying that another Hong Kong martial arts actress landed in Hong Kong. She knows that acting is an industry that is passively waiting to be appreciated. Even if her name becomes more and more famous, it is impossible for her to become a big star like Zhong Chuhong and Maggie Cheung .
After she has successfully retired, she is once again faced with the crossroads of life choices, and she has indeed found a more suitable industry for her, and has discovered more impossibles.
In the early 1990s, there was no decent advertising industry in China, so she decided to open up her own world in the Chinese market.
In 1993, Wu Bing founded DMG Entertainment and Media Group with Xiao Wenge and the American director she met in Hollywood , with Wu Bing serving as chief producer.
This job also allowed Wu Bing to have a brand-new attempt. From creative execution to shooting, she made all the arrangements, and this also gave her a sense of accomplishment. She said excitedly: "In a limited life , I have another very interesting job."
However, this job is not as glamorous as it seems, at this time China's advertising industry has just started, and the difficulties are far more difficult than she imagined.
Among them, they also encountered many difficulties. At the beginning of a shooting, because someone accidentally touched the fire sprinkler switch, the entire studio was flooded. When everyone was discouraged, Wu Bing took the lead in carrying the banner, leading everyone to find a way, the first Photography resumed early the next morning.
Of course, "flying disasters" like this happen often, and Wu Bing has come to see it. At the beginning of
's business, funding was difficult, and the only way was to shoot more commercials. Once they shot a beer commercial in Beijing. If they couldn't shoot it, there would be no liquidity. At that time,
designed the advertising plan that a person drove a luxury sports car through the Third Ring Road in Beijing, and an eagle flew in the sky. At that time, it was not easy to find a high-end sports car , but with her efforts, she found a blue sports car, and when she was about to start shooting, the client told them that the car was too small and he wanted to Red.
It was at night, Wu Bing had to find the red sports car according to the customer's request. At that time, she didn't know what to do next. When she walked aimlessly to the Great Wall Hotel opposite the Hilton, she was surprised. Wu Bing was pleasantly surprised when he saw a red convertible sports car.
She couldn't wait to ask the security guard who is this sports car, the security guard said it belonged to the boss, WuBing didn't care about anything and ran in and said to others that she hoped to borrow a car. Fortunately, the boss really lent her the sports car.
Later, she excitedly followed the security guard to get the car back to the hotel, and the whole group admired her. Of course, when Wu Bing recalled this scene many years later, even he couldn't believe how he received the borrowed car.
is like this, Wu Bing's company is developing rapidly, and her advertising has begun to have its own world in the world.
In July 2004, the Budweiser advertisement she hosted was selected for the Cannes Advertising Festival, which was the first time that a Chinese advertisement appeared on the international advertising stage. In 2009, it was selected as the "Leading Global Independent Advertising Agency of the Year" by an international advertising network agency and became the first Chinese company to be selected. Wu Bing once again created a miracle with her perseverance. After
gained a certain position in the advertising industry, Wu Bing, who was uneasy about the status quo, turned her target to the film and television industry.
takes his own life and destiny in his hands, but is unwilling to the status quo. Such people will succeed no matter what they do.
So, when he moved to the film and television industry, he achieved great success, and even became Hollywood's first female producer . However, when Wu Bing stood at the peak of his life again, he made the worst choice in his life. When
became famous, they chose to retire and
entered the film industry for the first time. Wu Bing and the two founders did not rush to start. It was not until 2009 that they felt that the time for investment had come. Before that, they also successfully introduced Hollywood films such as "Twilight", " Mystery Code ", "Reorganization Agent", " Resident Evil ", " Red Flame Battlefield " and other successful introductions into domestic theaters, which also allowed DMG to develop rapidly.
In 2009, the number of screens in Chinese cinemas has reached 5,000. Behind this, Wu Bing also saw the market of Chinese films . Before that, they had done ad placements in many movies, and she knew very well that the screen was also a market.
In fact, as early as 2008, DMG joined the " Founding of the People's Republic of China ", which was planned by China Film Group, and placed advertisements in it just right. After
"Founding of the People's Republic of China", DMG decided to follow the Hollywood model, so he chose to use the best-selling novel "Dulara's Promotion" as a test film, and the result was astonishing, setting a box office record of 130 million.
In the process of introducing foreign films, Wu Bing deeply realized the gap between domestic films and Hollywood films, so she decided to realize her film dream in Hollywood.
In 2011, Wu Bing and Hollywood co-invested in the sci-fi action movie "The Ring Messenger", she also persuaded the other party to move the story location from Paris to Shanghai, China, and joined Chinese actors and Hollywood superstars. At the beginning of the screening of
, Wu Bing also did a lot of publicity work.
has this experience, Wu Bing dares to do it. In April 2012, DMG Corporation, Disney Entertainment Media Group and Marvel Studios jointly filmed the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster " Iron Man 3". Wu Bing also participated in the press conference on behalf of the company.
This is the first time that China and Hollywood have co-produced a series of films that exceed one billion US dollars. It has also gone through a lot of examinations to choose a Chinese company among these many companies.
However, in the face of this great success, Wu Bing is also very proud, she said in an interview:
"This is a leap forward for Chinese film companies. After so many years, there is a Chinese company that can cooperate with One of the six major international film companies to cooperate, involving the film's investment, development, production, distribution, publicity and other aspects of affairs, we are all joined forces, this is the combination of the energy of the two companies."
later When she mentioned the film, she also expressed her thoughts at the time: "I just want to participate in the production of Hollywood blockbusters and add Chinese elements." During the intense production of
this year, Wu Bing led the way. The company participated in all aspects of the production, from early planning, fundingDMG participated in all aspects of the script, casting, shooting, publicity, distribution, release, and movie derivatives.
During that time, Wu Bing seldom rested and was often woken up by subordinates' calls, but she always maintained a full state and worked actively. Her Hollywood colleagues even nicknamed her "Female Iron Man." Partner Disney bosses say that she is "full of positive energy and never stops fighting!"
On May 1, 2013, "Iron Man 3" was released in China, and it won a box office record of 130 million yuan on its premiere day. It has set five records including the first day, single-day box office, midnight box office and the fastest movie breaking 100 million yuan, and finally set a global box office record of 1.203 billion US dollars and China's 752.8 million yuan. Wu Bing was also called "the first Chinese female producer in Hollywood" by the media.
In September 2013, the " Transcendental Hacker " co-produced by DMG and Hollywood was produced for the first time in the whole industry chain. Wu Bing's pressure can be imagined, but she still devoted herself to the work with full enthusiasm. In 2014, when Transcendental Hackers came out, it caused a stir again.
After more than two decades of development, DMG has become a thriving company.
Judging from the social environment at that time, Wu Bing became the first person who dared to "eat crabs", and her life experience has become a legendary history.
At that time, the business community set off a wave of listing, and Wu Bing also falsely reported financial statements and successfully listed. Wu Bing made a lot of money, and the rapid growth attracted more and more investors to join it, and also attracted about 400 billion yuan of investment.
Wu Bing knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, so he had already left a retreat, transferred 4.4 billion yuan of assets abroad, obtained a green card in the United States, and became an American citizen.
When the incident happened, Wu Bing had already fled abroad with 4.4 billion yuan, which was chilling. And now Wu Bing has also bought large villas and mansions in the United States, and even a private plane. When she was summoned by the court, she also refused to return to China on the grounds of illness.
Wu Bing's first half life can be called inspirational, we do not deny her hard work and struggle, but also appreciate her ability and courage. If she didn't run away, she could have become a well-known female entrepreneur in China, but then she also lost herself in the money position. She was cursed by thousands of people because of her desire for profit. The result is also embarrassing.
