With the decline of action movies and kung fu movies, the title of "martial arts star" has rarely been mentioned, and like Jet Li, there are fewer and fewer actors who have only made action movies in their lives. After Jet Li, there have also been several "young zhuang faction" martial stars in the mainland, and Wu Jing is one of the best, they are like Jet Li, they are all martial arts champions, and they have left classic works on the screen.
1. Wu Jing: The first "10 billion box office star" in the mainland
With the big sale of "The Wandering Earth", Wu Jing became the first star in the mainland to exceed 10 billion yuan at the box office. Looking back at Wu Jing's acting career, in fact, it is not all smooth sailing, his first movie "Kung Fu Kid Breaks through" was a box office fiasco in Hong Kong, after which Wu Jing began to develop in the film and television, for a long time, he could only play supporting roles in the movie, but Wu Jing, who did not accept defeat, gambled heavily on "Wolf Warrior" in 2015, and the result was successful, thus opening his own superstar road. The third "Wolf Warrior" and "Kill the Wolf 3" are Wu Jing's important works in the next two or three years, and these two works are likely to make his personal box office reach 15 billion+.
2. Zhang Jin: An action star who became a late bloomer
Zhang Jin is the same age as Wu Jing, but the resources he obtained in his early years were not as good as Wu Jing's, and when Wu Jing starred in Yuan Heping's TV series "A Generation of Grandmasters", Zhang Jin was also a stunt actor in "Yuan Jiaban". Zhang Jin began acting in TV dramas around 2000, mainly martial arts dramas. Zhang Jin's turning point in acting came in 2013, he played the "Shape Intention Fist" grandmaster Ma San in Wong Kar-wai's movie "Generation Grandmaster", a villain, Zhang Jin showed eye-catching acting skills, and won the Academy Award for Male Supporting Actor with the film, and since then he has slowly moved to the ranks of first-line martial stars, and then he has played well in "Kill the Wolf 2", "Ip Man 3" and "Zhang Tianzhi". Hong Kong director Chen Guo's "Kowloon Undefeated" and Zhang Jin's self-directed sci-fi action film "Tomb Keeper" are both action stars of this late bloomer and deserve attention in the future.
3, Zhao Wenzhuo: waiting to turn over the action star
Among the four martial stars introduced here, Zhao Wenzhuo is the most unfortunate, the resources he obtained in Hong Kong in his early years can even be comparable to Jet Li, "Green Snake", "Knife", etc. are All Hong Kong films that have left a famous film history, but from the late 90s to the present, Zhao Wenzhuo's film career has been going down the curve, one of the important reasons is that Zhao Wenzhuo has not had his own representative role, and the roles he played such as Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Jialuo, Nie Feng and so on have been brilliantly interpreted before, and he repeats the roles of others , naturally difficult to succeed. In recent years, Zhao Wenzhuo has not yet come out of this repetitive circle, last year he starred in Huang Feihong three times, and in the future, his worth mentioning work is "Huo Yuanjia".
4. Wu Fan: Wu Xing, mixed into a golden supporting role
Wu Fan is also a national "Wuying-level" martial arts athlete, the youngest of the four, two years younger than Wu Jing and Zhang Jin, he is the least well-known among the four, but he is the only "class performance" among the four, and when he studied acting at the Central Academy of Drama, Wu Fan's results were very good. Perhaps because of his appearance is not outstanding enough, Wu Fan has played very few film and television dramas in the lead role, and the new version of "Journey to the West", "Underground Traffic Station" and "Lian Cheng Tips" are his rare starring works. However, Wu Fan does not seem to care much about whether he plays the main role, he has played a lot of supporting roles, and there are many brilliant ones, such as the robbers in "Big Soldiers and Little Generals", the Thai police cui Jie in "Kill the Wolf and the Greedy Wolf", and the leather bands in "Hero Nature 2018", all of which are impressive. "Ip Man 4" is a film work worth looking forward to in Wu Fan's future.
