Some time ago, Kung Fu star Zhang Jin choked up in public! The reason for
is that its new film " Wolves ", which has a good reputation, has a terrible box office due to too few films. The box office of
has only exceeded 26 million since its release, and the split is less than 10 million. If the investment cost of
is more than 100 million yuan, it means that the final result of the film may lose nearly 100 million yuan.
must know that this is the only film work released by Kung Fu star Zhang Jin in the past three years. Moreover,
still has a certain degree of enthusiasm for participating in "'s brother " in 2021...
is in such a situation, how can Zhang Jin, who is the best male supporting role of in the Awards, not sigh!
However, what is even more embarrassing is:
Zhang Jin at least still has big productions to shoot, and he can even land in mainstream theaters.
And the following 4 kung fu stars who have also performed well, but basically can only make low-budget movies, mainly "struggling" in the world of Internet University:
Zhao Wenzhuo
In 1993, Zhao Wenzhuo starred in " Fang Shiyu " The corner of Ordo, the admiral of Zhongjiumen, became famous in the first battle.
Since then, he has appeared in many masterpieces such as " Green Snake ", "Knife", " Golden Jade Full House ", and has become a hot Kung Fu star on both sides of the strait.
was once known as the powerful successor of kung fu superstar Jet Li .
However, due to factors such as its youthful and vigorous personality and market changes, it ultimately failed to do so. Based on the above, and the frivolity of becoming famous at a young age, Zhao Wenzhuo seemed to start to let himself go, and starred in many film and television works that were not well-received at the box office, and even bad films. When
arrived in 2017, after the two films " Dang Kou Fengyun " and " Kung Fu League " starred in 2017 successively failed at the box office, the former star of hope was basically insulated from mainstream production.
had no choice but to devote himself to the online platform, and he acted in 6 online majors including " Huang Feihong: Heroes of the North and South " and " Huang Feihong's Furious Sea Heroes ".
However, these online universities with indescribable word-of-mouth have brought this quasi-Kung Fu superstar to annihilation, or even disappeared.
has to lose to "Brother Who Overcame Toughness", which will explode in 2021, to push a generation of star players back to the audience's eyes.
However, Zhao Wenzhuo, who holds his fist and salutes with a calm personality, did not wait for the corresponding film appointment. As a last resort,
had to come up with an action film " Tattoo " shot in 2017, trying to strike while the iron was hot, and by the way, asked for directions.
Unfortunately, reality is skinny.
"Tattoo" finally achieved less than 2 million box office, and the Douban score was only 3.8.
Whether it is the story content, the production level, and the final result, it all proves that "Tattoo" is still an online big.
In other words, Kung Fu star Zhao Wenzhuo still failed to break the circle.
, on the other hand, a recent performance of flying knives in the air on the Great Wall has successfully become a hot search.
This at least shows domineering: Brother's strength is still there, it depends on whether you dare to take the trick!
I hope someone will take the trick, and a generation of martial arts stars can also come back.
Wu Yue
Like Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Yue is also a national martial arts martial artist with a great kung fu. The difference between
and Zhao Wenzhuo is that Wu Yue became famous late, and he did not become famous by playing.
However, Wu Yue took the star route from the beginning.
started from Chen Zhen in " Jingwu Hero Chen Zhen " in 2001, and the characters in "Young Huang Feihong", "Liancheng Jue" and "Prodigal Son Yanqing" are all able to fight.
It's just that these works were generally well received, and Wu Yue didn't get much fame.
Until 2007, a sitcom " Underground Transportation Station " hit the air. Because of its successful role in the role of Cai Shuigen, 31-year-old Wu Yue is really well known to the audience.
is a martial arts actor, but he is famous for his literary drama... While a little embarrassing, it also more or less shows the unevenness of Wu Yue's road to stardom. After
's literary drama became famous, Wu Yue was still obsessed with the road to stardom.
has successively acted in martial arts roles such as Monkey King in "Journey to the West", and Zhang Dabiao in "Uniform", but he still did not make much of a name. It was not until 2015 that
starred in " Macau 2", with a set of mantis boxing that was highly suitable for the plot, which made the audience shine.
followed in 2016, and Wu Yue, who had been fighting for many years, finally set off a splash of his own.
relies on the masked and tragic veteran in " Chills 2", the double-wielding detective in " Kills the Wolf, the Greedy Wolf ", and the supervising inspector in " Wild Beast ", Wu Yue proves that He has gained his own punching and kicking strength, and he has also made his own kung fu star.
It's a pity that Wu Yue has a false name, and Wu Yue, who has a kung fu star halo above his head, did not wait for his own highlight moment.
In the following years, Wu Yue starred in many film and television works including " Ye Wen 4", but none of them belonged to his own kung fu productions, and most of them were well-received. Compared with , Wu Jing, , Zhang Jin, and Wu Yue in the same period,
doesn't even have a masterpiece that is really good, let alone play a world of his own.
should have realized that the road ahead is not good. As early as 2016, Wu Yue began to set foot in Internet University and develop a side business.
director, starring, and producer are all here, trying to continue their stardom through sideline detours.
is just a go, there is no turning back.
Since 2016, Wu Yue has directed, starred and participated in more than 12 online movies, and basically all of them show people by playing. Although
includes films such as " Angry Scavengers " and " Zhang Sanfeng ", which are not bad at the box office, most of them are standard Internet bad films.
And the side effect of this is that the mainstream film and television resources that were not bad have become increasingly scarce. This point of
should have been unexpected by Wu Yue. He tried to detour and turned his side business into his main business.
Fan Shaohuang
's father is a well-known martial arts partner, and his adoptive father is a superstar Bruce Lee , Fan Shaohuang under such a background, started acting in movies at the age of 2, starting earlier than anyone else.
In 1991, starring Tang Jili's directorial debut " Demon Dragon ", began to emerge.
In 1992, he became famous with a punch-to-the-flesh "King of Power" and quickly became a new kung fu star. In 1997,
rebuilt the classics and became popular all over the country with the role of the cute virtual bamboo in "Dragon Babu".
However, Fan Shaohuang, who won at the starting line, then began to deviate from life. Since 1998,
has appeared in a large number of film and television works including " Young Hero Fang Shiyu " and "The Invincible Boxer" as a star, and most of the responses were mediocre. The "Power King" series, such as " The Real Enemy of the Power King " and "The Power King's Bare-Handed Detective", which
and
took on the old cost, also failed to recreate the glory.
couldn't bear to eat, so he started to take advantage.
Andy Lau 's "Infernal Affairs" became popular, and "Infernal Affairs" came; Zhou Xingchi "Kung Fu" became popular, and "Kung Fu Invincible" came... But none of them were successful. On the other hand,
participated in "Ip Man" starring Donnie Yen and in 2008. He was successfully nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards for his role in Jinshan. increase.
It's a pity that the successor, who was about to become popular for the second time, fell into a series of turmoils such as derailment and debt at an untimely time. I don't know if
is true or not, but the negative effects are visible to the naked eye, so that Fan Shaohuang had to workThe center of gravity has shifted to the mainland.
However, what awaits him are mostly low-budget web movies.
From 2018 to the present, in just 4 years, Fan Shaohuang has made more than 20 online movies. Although
also has films such as " Southern Shaolin's Angry Eyes " which has a good response, most of them are bad films with word-of-mouth pulls.
may have earned money, but it is a pity that a generation of martial arts stars has become the king of bad movies.
Xie Miao
Xie Miao did not have the background of Fan Shaohuang, but he also started very early, and the beginning was Wang Zhan.
was selected by Wang Jing at the age of 9, and starred in " New Shaolin Five Ancestors " with Jet Li, Qiu Shuzhen , and became an instant hit.
then partnered with Wu Mengda , Chow Yun-fat , and starred in " Peter Pan ", " God of Gamblers 2" and other films, becoming a magnanimous little star. What
did not expect was that at the hottest time, after filming the 1995 " Inborn Dragon ", the 11-year-old Xie Miao chose to return to the campus and faded out of the audience's sight. The reason for
is that some people say that it is the persuasion of , the elder brother , and some people say that it is the conservative consideration of the parents...
But it is not important, the important thing is that Xie Miao did not get admitted to the desired university, but went to the sports institute school, and eventually returned to continue to "play".
It's just that time flies, and the "Little Stars" who have grown up and returned are no longer the "brave" they used to be. Many movies starring
not only have poor reputation, but their box office performance is even more dismal.
's highest-grossing "Outright" is only 5 million, and " Bloody Battle of Aolun Prague " is even less than 170,000.
Obviously, only online movies dare to take on such a box office resistance.
So, starting in 2017, Xie Miao started playing all the way, maintaining an average annual output of five or six films, and has made more than 30 online movies so far. If
follows this trend, there is a high probability that the former small star will become the first big brother of the Internet. What's interesting about
is that Xie Miao, who does not carry the box office in the theater, has performed well in online movies, and is even known as the king of the online box office.
has gone from being an endless star to the king of online movies. It is bitter or happy, and only Xie Miao knows it.
For us ordinary audiences, the most memorable thing is the heroic "Little Star".
Similarly, the pain and pleasure of several other star players are unknown to outsiders. You think he is struggling, maybe he is enjoying it.
sighs, I just hope that they will not be rotten when they are caught in it, just want to see their heroic appearance on the big screen back then.
just don't know if they can come back?
