Wu Jing's personal box office has exceeded 24.5 billion, becoming the first box office in the history of Chinese films.
5 years ago, who dared to believe that Wu Jing would have the achievements and status he has now? Will you create a "box office empire" with only your own hands?
But it was he who created the box office myth.
Today, he not only ranks first in the total box office, but after surveying the questionnaire of "audience favorite movie characters", he found that the role he played in "Chosin Lake" was the most mentioned role by the audience. It was mentioned 202 times, making it the hottest character in the survey.
It is worth mentioning that Ma Renxing, who he played in "My Father and Me", has also been mentioned by the audience many times.
Whether it is the movies he has participated in or the roles he has played, Wu Kyoto is the hottest actor. This is why there are comments on the Internet that "Wu Jing's production must be a fine product" and "only Wu Jing can beat Wu Jing".
Wu Jing, who represents not only the individual, but also the guarantee of the quality of the film, is a veritable "box office elixir". Even though the glorious moment of "Wolf Warrior 2" has passed 5 years, Wu Jing has not stagnated, but is constantly surpassing himself.
Starring in "The Wandering Earth", the box office reached 4.686 billion, which was hailed as an epoch-making breakthrough. Starring in "King Kong Chuan" box office of 1.126 billion, once again showing the bloodiness of boys.
Even his cameo "My Motherland and Me" is as high as 3.169 billion, making the tribute film so marketable.
After "Wolf Warrior 2", it seems that where there is Wu Jing, there is a box office, and there is a quality guarantee for him, and a proper "box office elixir" makes filmmakers admire and reassures the audience.
If "Wolf Warrior 2" is an element of luck, then the subsequent achievements, especially in 2021, "Chosin Lake" broke the box office record with a box office of 5.775 billion, and its box office for Gang's "My Father and Me" reached 1.476 billion, which is enough to prove Wu Jing's strength, as well as his positive position and image in the hearts of the audience.
There is a box office, there is word of mouth, Wu Jing can be described as a double harvest of box office word of mouth, which can last for so many years is the embodiment of ability.
In the words of Jackie Chan, he has been making movies all his life, but the box office is not as good as Wu Jing's four films. Therefore, Jackie Chan couldn't help but cooperate with Wu Jing.
Not only that, even Jushi Sen shouted in the air to cooperate with Wu Jing.
If you bloom butterflies, Wu Jing ushered in his own era, and the artists who once worshipped but were unattainable came to the door to seek cooperation. Wu Jing relies on hard power and relies on being responsible for the audience.
From a kung fu boy who could only play supporting roles to today's tens of billions of filmmakers, Wu Jing's road in the show business circle can be described as full of legends. His appearance and enlightenment not only brought fire to military films, but also to the main theme of the film.
He can have such dazzling achievements now, I have to say that he has to say that he is "willing to give and get".
Many years ago, Wu Jing gave up his hard work in the Entertainment Circle of Hong Kong, China, chose to return to the mainland entertainment circle, gave up the achievements he had made over the years, and chose to become a director. At that time, he had only one thought in his mind: to make a scene of pure masters.
In order to be able to shoot this subject well, he was not busy making money, busy hyping, and becoming popular like other artists, but chose to start from the most basic.
He served in the special forces for two years, eating, living and training with all the special forces. He had heard the sound of bullets passing through his ears and felt the pressure of tanks passing by.
In this way, he trained intensively every day and finally molded himself into a tough guy image.
Similarly, in order to complete this tough guy movie, he did not listen to the opinions of the people around him, and he did not care about the sneers of others.
When others are in order to cater to the market to invite the flow of small fresh meat with no acting skills to do the starring role, he violates the "box office law" and chooses a less exquisite tough guy, and he really can't find an actor to go on his own.
Can't you make a movie without a beautiful man and sell it at the box office?
Wu Jing did not believe in evil, so there was "Wolf Warrior 1".
Although the play did not create a box office miracle, the box office of 544 million at least gave Wu Jing hope. It turns out that the audience does not only like the feminine and handsome little fresh meat, but the tough guy is still popular.
Therefore, he once again invested a lot of money and energy, against the opposition of his predecessors around him, and even sold his house to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2".
Who knows, "Wolf Warrior 2" became famous in one battle, Wu Jing created a box office myth, and those predecessors who were not optimistic about the tough guy market were also dumbfounded.
Not afraid of losing money, looking for new breakthrough points, and showing men's bloodiness, these are the driving forces for Wu Jing to persist. Because of Wu Jing's insistence, there are more tough guy films in the market, not all of which are small fresh meats that cannot be looked at directly by acting skills, and "idol films" sold to fans.
It can be said that the success of Wu Jing has made the market more diversified and rational, and also allowed the audience to have more choices.
From a kung fu boy, step by step to a director, and then to become a hot director and actor, Wu Jing has a sacrifice on this road.
Willing to throw money at the film, willing to give up past achievements to start with a new director, after sincere efforts, what you get is applause and flowers. Wu Jing let the audience see his persistence and attitude towards the film, and it is the audience's honor to have such a filmmaker.
Along the way, he has achieved high achievements, but Wu Jing is still modest.
He believes that the reason why he can succeed is because Chinese films are moving forward, it is the dedication of every staff member, and the tolerance of every audience. High box office, good results, are inseparable from every participant.
This humility reflects the pattern of Wu Jing.
Wu Jing once said in the show that he wants to form his own unique style like Jackie Chan's big brother, which is the so-called action genre.
When Jackie Chan first filmed, he was all serious about filming scenes, until the emergence of "Snake-shaped Executioner", he found his own martial arts style, and also let the audience see that kung fu can be presented in the form of comedy.
Kung Fu + Comedy, this is Jackie Chan's big brother action genre.
Wu Jing, who also studied martial arts, also wants to form his own action genre and his own action formula. In his words, this is the hope of a lifetime, and if it can be done, this life will be enough.
In fact, not only Wu Jing, but all artists from martial arts will have this kind of thinking. However, that's easier said than done.
However, with Wu Jing's influence in the film industry and his image in the hearts of audiences, the so-called action genre is no longer needed to prove himself.
The times are different, the form is naturally different, and now he is just as Yu Qian said, "Wolf Warrior" and "Wu Jing", in the hearts of the audience, represent the Chinese style, which also belongs to a genre.
Li Xiang's evaluation of Wu Jing is also the same, when the audience sees Wu Jing, what comes to mind is "Chinese", then Wu Jing is successful. His success no longer needs to rely on one move and one style like Jackie Chan, but to prove it with film achievements and speak with works.
Dormant for many years, with the box office to prove themselves, with strength to conquer the audience. To a certain extent, Wu Jing has become the quality guarantee of the film and the box office guarantee, which are the results of his efforts.
