Wang Jing was born on May 3, 1955 in Hong Kong, China, with her ancestral home in Shaoxing, Zhejiang!
His father, Wang Tianlin, was a director, and after Wang Jing's birth, his father, Wang Tianlin, was so happy that he named his son "Wang Ri", which means sun.
However, in addition to the meaning of "day" is the meaning of the sun, there is also a layer of not very elegant meaning, a single "day" is not very good, so Wang Tianlin later changed the name of his son to "Wang Rixiang", hoping that his son is auspicious every day.
However, the name of the father Wang Tianlin painstakingly thought of, in the end, was not adopted, the son grew up to walk the rivers and lakes to change his name to "Wang Jing", this name has also become a symbol of the Hong Kong film industry, of course, these are the afterwords.
About a year after Wang Jing's birth, his father Wang Tianlin became famous for directing the musical film "Peach Blossom River", and three years later, Wang Tianlin won the Best Director Award at the Asian Film Festival for "Family Happy Event".
Wang Jing was very interested in making movies when he was a child, so he was very interested in making movies at a very young age.
Wang Tianlin was often too busy to be at home because of his busy work, and after Wang Jing went to school and read, he would often go to his father's study to read the classics collected by his father, and it is said that he completed the "Journey to the West" in its entirety when he was 9 years old.
In addition to these classics, Wang Jing also read a lot of scripts collected by her father, but slowly Wang Jing was not satisfied with only reading the scripts. So he directed his four younger sisters and let them perform according to their own settings, and he also had a director's addiction.
As she grew older, Wang Jing became more and more interested in the job of directing, and even when he was 15 years old, he began to help his father read scripts regularly.
But in 1971, when Wang Jing was 16 years old, his father's salary suddenly declared bankruptcy, so the life of their family of six became very poor.
At this time, Wang Jing's mother actually liked gambling, and even had a "gambling addiction", not only often gambling outside, she also owed a lot of gambling debts outside behind Wang Jing's father's back.
In the past, Wang Tianlin worked more and earned more, and Wang Jing's mother could secretly pay back some, but as Wang Tianlin's father did not have a job, her gambling debts were even more unrequited, and many creditors came to the door, at this time Wang Jing and her father knew her mother's "secret".

In the face of his wife's gambling debts, Wang Tianlin also had to face it, so he could only pull down his face and look around for a job, but because of his previous personality, he did not have much network in the Hong Kong film and television circle.
In the end, Wang Tianlin had no choice but to go to Taiwan to shoot a lot of films for some companies that he couldn't watch before, that is, bad films, and he didn't know how many bad films were filmed, so he exchanged the gambling debts owed by his wife.
After paying off his wife's debts, Wang Tianlin's focus also returned to Hong Kong, and soon after he had a position at TVB, so that the life of Wang Jing's family was stabilized again.
During wang tianlin's stay at TVB, in addition to filming film and television dramas, he also brought a large number of apprentices, such as Lin Lingdong, Lin Delu, Du Qifeng, Huang Jianxun and other directors, and of course, his own son Wang Jing.
However, Wang Tianlin's favorite apprentice is not his own son, but the famous director Du Qifeng, Du Qifeng once said in an interview, Wang Tianlin is not only his master, but also a turning point in his life, if there is no Wang Tianlin, he may not be a director.
With Wang Tianlin having a stable position in TVB, the life of Wang Jing's family has slowly improved again, but at this time, Wang Jing's mother has once again committed "gambling addiction".
This time, the gambling debt she owed far exceeded the previous amount, and Wang Jing and her father directly collapsed and hugged each other and cried, after which Wang Jing's father also parted ways with his mother.
The impact of this incident on Wang Jing was still very large, and his life values even changed because of this, and in his world, he began to value money very importantly.
So that after he grew up to be a director, he had only one standard for making movies, that is, as long as the movies that could sell well, they were good movies.
In 1973, Wang Tianlin served as a producer at TVB, and his works include "Laughing At The Cause", "Book of Swords and Vengeance", "Lu Xiaofeng", "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" and so on.
At the same time, the "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "The Legend of the Archery Hero", "The Hero of the Condor", etc., which he supervised, have become many people's memories of that era, and this has also laid the foundation for Wang Tianlin's position in the entire Hong Kong film and television industry.

In 1975, at the age of 20, Wang Jing was admitted to the University of Chinese in Hong Kong, where she studied in the Chinese Department, while also working as a part-time screenwriter for TVB, and also gave herself a very personal pen name - "Not a woman".
Also in this year, Wang Jingjing was introduced to Ding Dejun, a high school girl who was only 17 years old, and the two were similar in age and like-minded, and soon began a love life.
In 1976, at the age of 21, Wang Jing worked as a screenwriter in tvB director Zhao Zhenqiang's Qiong Yao drama "A Thousand Knots in the Heart", and later in the martial arts drama "Lu Xiaofeng" produced by her father.
After that, Wang Jing was pulled by the senior Wu Yu to write a paragraph in the variety show "Happy Tonight", writing a stem for 8 yuan and writing a short drama for 80 yuan, so Wang Jing lived for two years.
By 1978, the 23-year-old Wang Jing graduated from hong Kong Chinese University, and as soon as she graduated, she married Ding Dejun, who was 3 years younger, in the popular words of "early marriage at an early age".
So for Wang Jing, whose father is a well-known director and who is determined to make a career in the entertainment industry, why did she get married so early?
According to some of Wang Jing's friends later, this is because Wang Jing feels that after he began to break through in the entertainment industry, his future is uncertain, so he has to quickly find a wife and stabilize himself in the rear first.
After getting married, Wang Jing continued to serve as a screenwriter in the short drama "Under the Lion Rock: The Story of Smoking" and the long drama "Man in the Net", and the actors he cooperated with were Zhou Runfa, Zheng Yuling, etc. after playing superstars.
In 1980, Wang Jing wrote the film "The King of a Thousand Kings" produced by her father. As a screenwriter in "" Wang Jing at this time has already had the idea of wanting to be herself a director.
In 1981, he finally began to direct, and the first film he shot was Shaw Pictures' action movie "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Masters", but because he was a director for the first time, Wang Jing's heart was always up and down.
On the first night of filming, Wang Jing asked her father Wang Tianlin about how to divide the film shots and so on, but Wang Jing's father did not answer his son's questions head-on.
When Wang Jing went to the set the next day to start shooting, she found that her father Wang Tianlin had already arrived on the set, so for three consecutive days, Wang Tianlin had been shooting with his son on the set.
In this way, Wang Jing officially began to embark on the road of directing with the help of Wang Tianlin, and Wang Jing's directorial debut "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Masters" was finally successfully sold

After the success of the first movie, Shaw Company and Wang Jing's TVB were very happy, and Shao even offered a big price to dig Wang Jing, which made Wang Jing very entangled.
Because his father Wang Tianlin has been working at TVB, he found his friend Huang Xia to discuss, and Huang Xia told him that whoever gave more money would go to work there, so Wang Jing went to work at Shaw's company.
After arriving at Shaw's, Wang Jing has successively filmed films such as "Flower Heart Big And Little" and "Frog Prince", especially "Frog Prince", which gathered Several big beauties such as Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, Guan Zhilin, etc., and sold well at the box office.
After the film became popular, Wang Jing decided to continue this film style, but at this time, Shaw Company declared bankruptcy due to recession, and Wang Jing could only turn to Xiang's "Yongsheng".
After entering Xiang's company, in 1987, Wang Jing invited Zhou Runfa to shoot "Hardcover Chasing Girls" together, which continued Wang Jing's previous style, but there were many laughs and many spoofs, which was known as a "Hong Kong-style comedy classic".
This movie made Wang Jing taste the sweetness again, so he made a series of blockbuster movies such as "Best Friend Loss", "Courtship Death Squad", "Best Friend Break", and so on.
In the end, until the audience was bored and tired of watching this series of movies, Wang Jing once again pondered how to do a new series of movies.
Also in this year, only 19-year-old Qiu Shuzhen signed up for the Miss Hong Kong contest, because of her outstanding appearance and unique temperament, he was also noticed by wang Jing, who was already 32 years old.
But Wang Jing was not the only one who noticed Qiu Shuzhen, after the end of the game, Qiu Shuzhen was signed by Wang Jing's previous company TVB, but this did not affect Wang Jing's love for Qiu Shuzhen.
In 1988, The painstaking Wang Jing poached Qiu Shuzhen from TVB, successfully signed Qiu Shuzhen to Wang Jing, who was under his command, and decided to start praising Qiu Shuzhen.
So under Wang Jing's arrangement, in the next 5 years, Qiu Shuzhen shot a total of 22 movies, an average of 4 movies per year.

During this period, Wang Jing made such a god-level work as "God of Gamblers", and superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Wang Zuxian all had excellent performances in it.
After "God of Gamblers", Zhou Xingchi also relied on the "Gamble Saint" fire in the second year, and then Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi, the two ghosts, began to cooperate together, making hilarious movies such as "Gambler" and "Trickster Expert", thus creating the comedy faction of "Nonsense".
After Wang Jing signed Qiu Shuzhen, there was a rich second generation who was pursuing Qiu Shuzhen, so the relationship between the two was only the relationship between the director and the actor.
But in 1991, after Qiu Shuzhen broke up with her rich second-generation boyfriend, her relationship with Wang Jing was also further, and it was also at this time that Wang Jing decided to start praising Qiu Shuzhen.
But at that time, there were many goddesses in Hong Kong, like Wang Zuxian, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialing, etc. Although Qiu Shuzhen looked beautiful, she had no greater advantages than other actresses.
Just at this time, Ye Yuqing became popular with the "Nude Trilogy", the most important thing is that after filming these films, Ye Yuqing quickly transformed, and the heat is still very high, which gives Wang Jing some inspiration.
In 1992, Wang Jing carefully created a three-level film for Qiu Shuzhen, "Naked Lamb", which caused a great sensation as soon as it was released, and Qiu Shuzhen also became famous because of this film.
Even Qiu Shuzhen was nominated for the Best Actress Award at that year's Hong Kong Film Awards, before which Qiu Shuzhen was only a young actress with a little fame, but after this movie, Qiu Shuzhen directly promoted to the status of a first-line actress.
After the movie went viral, Wang Jing immediately made a sequel to "The Strange Case of Hong Kong" the following year. Rape", the film is still a big hit after the release, and Qiu Shuzhen's popularity has soared again.
Later, in 1993, Wang Jing directed "Truant Weilong 3", "Super School Overlord", "City Hunter" and other movies, and he also did the supervising production of 3 films, it can be said that the hottest themes and films at that time had Wang Jing's participation.

This time is Wang Jing's busiest time, almost every day from morning to night, the most important thing is that every movie he shoots can be a big hit, sometimes he shoots a movie, only for more than ten days.
The reason why he makes a fire is because Wang Jing generally shoots what is a fire, there is no feeling, and for him, making a movie is just to make money.
In addition to loving money, Wang Jing also likes beauty, he once said such a sentence: "If you want to shoot her well, you really have to fall in love with her, and you can withdraw after shooting."
Therefore, in addition to Qiu Shuzhen, famous beauties such as Zhu Yin, Li Zi, Shu Qi, etc. once had the title of "Crystal Girl".
Of course, Wang Jing's favorite is still Qiu Shuzhen, he allowed Qiu Shuzhen to be on the set without dew, the relationship between the two can be said to have long exceeded the relationship between the director and the actor, in the interview many years later, Wang Jing also said that he had talked to the actress for 6 years in love, this actress was speculated by many people to be Qiu Shuzhen.
However, in 1997, Qiu Shuzhen suddenly announced that she and Wang Jing had ended all relations, because Wang Jing had done something to hurt him, and then Qiu Shuzhen flashed marriage and married a rich man.
Wang Jing is still making films, but after the 21st century, the glorious era of Hong Kong films has long gone, so Wang Jing has shot a lot of bad films, and even been called "the king of bad films" by some people.
But in fact, Wang Jing's status in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry is very high, because during the most popular period in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, almost all the hottest movies had Wang Jing's participation.
The most important thing is that Some Hong Kong actors once said that in the years when Hong Kong films were at their lowest ebb, It was Wang Jing who had been making bad films, feeding a large number of staff and making many people have a mouthful of food.
Today's Wang Jing is 66 years old, but he is still very prolific, but most of the films are bad films, which is also in line with his love of money, making movies is not because of likes, not because of feelings, but because it can make money!
