The Olympic Games, which aroused national enthusiasm, have been over for a while, but during that time, the "green sportswear version of Wu Jing" that exploded during that period became an independent individual and continued to be active in memes and everyone's entertainment life:
A face of righteousness, a green sports suit, and a huge chest of the word "China", such an image is even about to replace the "wolf warrior", which has become the deepest impression of many people on Wu Jing.
But if you are still an Internet surfer, you must have seen this awe-inspiring Wu Jing.
This photo is from the 2019 movie "Teacher Good" starring Yu Qian. Wu Jing made a cameo appearance as a physical education teacher in the play, and when Yu Qian, who played the class teacher, called a halt to physical education class to prepare for training students, the physical education teacher played by Wu Jing wore a sportswear and announced the news to everyone with a serious face.
The whole scene was only a few seconds, but I didn't expect that a still became the purple micro star of the meme world, which was circulated on social networks, and it was out of control and appeared in various dialogue situations.
Wu Jing, a green sportswear, also likes to mention the "best meme in all of China".
Of course, the highlight of the emoji is the huge "China" word on the chest, with Wu Jing's serious expression, which immediately gave netizens unlimited creative space, and after a simple production with copywriting, a strong emotional meme was immediately born.
This series of memes has reached a peak after the Olympic Games:
At the opening ceremony, when the Chinese team won the first gold, when cheering for the athletes, when comforting the athletes who did not win the award, when questioning the refereeing standards, when confronting foreigners with yin and yang... Wu Jingjing has become the best choice for netizens to express their attitudes.
Because the frequency of appearances is too high, Wu Jing is not only rated as the busiest person outside the Winter Olympic venue, but even voted by netizens as a member of the Chinese Olympic team - Wu Jing, who does not admit defeat and does not accept defeat, does coincide with the spirit of the Chinese team.
How hot is Wu Jing in green sportswear?
We can get a glimpse of it from all angles:
The same sportswear, sold out. When netizens were excited to wear Jingcai Chinese, Taobao merchants said that they would have to wait at least two months to receive the same money;
The original clip was overwhelmed by the punch. Some netizens learned the origin of the meme, and specially turned over the original movie punch card group photo. Station B "Teacher, Good" movie has nearly 10,000 netizen messages;
Wu Jing, a green sportswear, has also become the most popular image among current cosers. At the comic exhibition, "Green Sportswear Wu Jing" can always receive the most attention and group photos - conscientious cosers will also clench their fists and fully restore the posture of Green Sportswear Wu Jing;
This cos is not limited to men and women. In a fun dance performance, a girl put on a green "Chinese" sportswear, took a Wu Jing mask, and danced the hottest girl group dance on the spot, with a charming posture and Wu Jing's appearance, making people cry out for help;
Outside the domestic circle, even once fired overseas: the online game "Original God" produced a small advertisement of "originally you also played the original god", in which the protagonist wore a green sports suit, and wrote "Li Yue" two big characters (a regional name in the game), never expected that Japanese players were actually moved by this direct love, after the root of the science began to popularize the source of the sportswear meme, so there was a magical scene - the Japanese sent "China" emoji on Twitter.
The most supportive of the popularity of green Wujing is, of course, Wu Jing, and even he himself has to make up the heat of green sportswear. At the movie "My Father and Me" event, when the host handed over the green sportswear, Wu Jing directly put it on and reproduced the Jingdian emoji - what everyone wants to see, he is also clear in his heart!
Because too red causes controversy, it is the fate of all the top streams, and sportswear is also doomed.
After the popularity of this year's Korean TV series "Squid Game", South Korea's Professor Seo Koo-deok posted on social platform Instagram condemning "Chinese clothing plagiarizing the costumes of "Squid Game", saying that this is rubbing the popularity of "Squid Game", and also matching the contrast between actor Wu Jing wearing "Chinese" clothes and lee Jung-jae, the protagonist of "Squid Game".
Just looking at the picture, except for the two words "China" on the chest of Wu Jing's sportswear, the sportswear on both sides is indeed the same: the same green suit, the same zipper jacket, the same vertical line.
But it's not. The sportswear Wu Jing wears comes from the old Domestic brand Plum Blossom in Tianjin. To say that it is popular, it can be much earlier than the Korean sportswear:
Plum blossom sportswear was born in 1947, throughout the 60s to 80s of the last century, Chinese are proud to wear plum blossom sportswear, sports teams at all levels will be plum blossom as a professional sportswear. Because of this, the plum blossom sportswear has witnessed the emergence of Chinese sports, which can be said to have countless glories:
In the 1960s, Meihua sportswear accompanied the Chinese sports delegation. In April 1961, the 26th World Table Tennis Championships were held in Beijing, the first appearance of the young republic in world sports. In that year, the Chinese men's team wore a Chinese red cotton knitted sweatshirt and defeated the Japanese men's team for the first time and won the men's team championship.
In 1982, Li Ning, the "Prince of Gymnastics", won six gold medals and 1 bronze medal at the Sixth Gymnastics World Cup, and wore a plum blossom "China" sportswear when receiving the award.
At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, all the athletes wore big red "Chinese" plum blossom sportswear to the stage to receive the award.
The athletes' achievements made Plum Blossom the most popular sports brand in the 1970s and 1980s, so even if a set of Plum Blossom sportswear at that time cost forty or fifty yuan (about the monthly income of a worker), everyone rushed to buy it. Even if the market is later squeezed by foreign sports brands, plum blossom sportswear is still the sentiment of the times that belongs to a generation.
In South Korea, sportswear symbolizes the "losers" at the bottom. In the Korean stereotype, sportswear = losers, only people who are not doing their jobs, idle and have given up on themselves will also wear sportswear on weekdays. For example, in "Hidden and Great", the North Korean spy played by Kim So-hyun is usually a two idiots wearing sportswear to deliver takeaways, but instead put on a suit on the day when he revealed his identity and went to the blood fight again.
This is also the reason why all the contestants in the squid game are wearing sportswear - in addition to the convenience of playing the game, it also proves the social status of this group of people from the side.
Further down, in the process of development of the long vertical sports suit, there is indeed an indispensable Chinese "spokesperson" - he is Bruce Lee.
In the Hollywood TV series "Blind Pursuit", Bruce Lee wears a set of burgundy side double white striped sportswear; the yellow and black sportswear in "Game of Death" is even more popular around the world, becoming the symbol of Bruce Lee. It is worth saying that this set of sportswear was designed by Bruce Lee himself, the yellow background color and the side black vertical color matching, because he felt that the yellow and black color matching symbolized his Chinese yellow skin and black eyes.
The dress of Chinese martial arts stars has led the world's trend of fashion, and has also appeared in later film and television works, yellow and black sportswear once became the most popular cosplay outfit for foreigners, and bright colored sportswear with vertical strips has also become popular since then.
In fact, only Koreans consider this tracksuit suit to be the logo of loser. In the rest of the world, this wear-resistant sportswear is favored by the public for its excellent comfort and wearability.
In Japan, sports suits are often worn by Japanese students in gymnastics; in Europe and the United States, sportswear has always been a rebellious wearing culture.
The sports suit with vertical lines was first designed by Adidas in the late 1960s. At the time they collaborated with German football star Franz Beckenbaur on a sportswear with three iconic white bars, which are still worn by countless people to this day.
But in the old era, as a complete opposite of formal wear, sportswear was difficult to be seen by fashionable people in the spring and snow; until the 80s, American hip-hop singer Run-DMC appeared in sportswear in their hit song "My Adidas" mv, and since then, sportswear has gradually become synonymous with hip-hop.
Street clothing, and street music, are originally a match made in heaven, and sportswear also represents a certain spirit of rebellion, which is an important example of anti-system clothing. Dr Joanna Turney, a design historian and associate professor of fashion at the Winchester School of Art, said its arbitrariness and flexibility play down the formality of mainstream masculinity and its rules.
In the decades that followed, sportswear gradually moved from the prejudices exclusive to the working class to the homes of ordinary people (except for him), and won many fans with comfortable and non-over-the-top dress.
The pandemic has fueled this trend even more. Casual sportswear has become the first choice for people staying at home, and data tracking company Edited data shows that the sales rate of sportswear rose by 36% in March 2020 compared with the same period in 2019; lululemon, a well-known middle-class sports brand, sold $5.5 billion worth of products worldwide in the recent year; brands have also discovered this trend, and fashion brands such as Fear of God have also launched sweatshirt and sweatshirt suits to meet consumer demand.
Of course, the domestic brand has not missed, and our plum blossom sportswear has also launched a variety of limited designs in the stage of the rise of the national tide: or a familiar inner taste, or a plum blossom with good quality and low price.
It is worth saying that the quality of plum blossom sportswear has also been affirmed, in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, when a reporter interviewed North Korean athletes, he accidentally found that they were wearing China's "plum blossoms", and North Korean athletes also said: This sportswear is very well worn.
(There should be a sentence from Teacher Wu Jing here: "China" manufacturing is the most powerful.) ）
Speaking of North Korea, we also mention South Korea, although they are bright and upright to look at people, but after the epidemic, sportswear sales have soared...
