Many of the still active action actors are trying to replicate Wu Jing's success, after all, Wu Jing, who returned to the mainland from Hong Kong, was also pulled back by the "Wolf Warrior" series from the brink of passing.
Zhao Wenzhuo wanted to take the route of military themes, and the self-directed and self-acting "Counterattack" chose to be broadcast online during the Spring Festival. I thought I could be a big success, but I didn't expect that the word of mouth was only 4.7 points, which was a street hit.
At this time, Wu Fan also wants to get a piece of the pie from the network movie, after all, in the mainstream market, capital would rather spend a lot of money to invite traffic fresh meat without martial arts skills to hype a wave, rather than risk using unpopular actions to hit the stars.
This is the embarrassing situation that Wu Fan faces, so he and Xie Miao made the same choice to enter the online film market. Originally, I was looking forward to the network movie "Zhang Sanfeng" starring him, but the "Broken Gold" he starred in was broadcast first, so choose to look at it.
Before the broadcast of "Broken Gold", there were many stars who recorded video promotion for this online movie, and actors such as Shen Teng, Wu Jing, Li Xian, Huang Jingyu, Deng Chao and so on appeared.
What's more, Liu Yi, the screenwriter and producer of "Broken Gold", is the screenwriter of the "Wolf Warrior" series, and the action director Li Zhongzhi has also served as an action director in the "Wolf Warrior" series.
It is no wonder that when pushing this drama on the platform, the slogan of "Wolf Warrior Team" is used, which is indeed very frightening, and it can be seen that Wu Fan still has to rely on Wu Jing's popularity to sell himself, which is somewhat sad.
What's even more sad is that after watching "Broken Gold", I found that this online movie and "Wolf Warrior" are not on the same line at all, neither patriotic enthusiasm ignites the audience's emotions, and Wu Fan's play is not clean and neat, in short, "Broken Gold" is difficult to become a hit.
The story still does not take place in China, the younger brother of the twin brothers Lei Zhansheng stole 100 million US dollars from the gang leader Hou Ye, and escaped by means of suspended animation and plastic surgery.
Unbeknownst to him, his elder brother Lei Zhanjun thought that something had happened to his brother, so he started the process of searching for his brother across borders and clashed with Hou Ye. The younger brother saw that his brother was in a desperate situation, so he reappeared to fight with his brother.
At first, it was the older brother Lei Zhanjun who saved his younger brother Lei Zhansheng, and later developed into the younger brother Lei Zhansheng to save his brother Lei Zhanjun, in short, the two brothers declared war with the local gang, and eventually eliminated the gang leader Hou Ye.
The story is not new, you can guess the end by looking at the beginning, and there is not much surprise in terms of playing. There is no Jackie Chan juggling style of fighting, nor is it as crisp as Jet Li, and it is not even as tough as Wu Jing.
In fact, the story of "Wolf Warrior" at the beginning was not much new, and the battle with mercenaries was not uncommon, so why did Wu Jing succeed?
Because the theme is flattering, it just so happens that the international situation has helped a lot, the Chinese people at that time urgently need some kind of spiritual guidance, "Wolf Warrior" just appeared, Wu Jing also stood out, plus Wu Jing's Hong Kong break itself accumulated a lot of popularity, so it became a hit.
But what's in Broken Gold? Talking about brotherhood is very chicken, the transition of feelings is not, talking about love is very abrupt, I don't understand Lei Zhansheng and Saha Taya are one-night stands, or are they real feelings?
There is also the villain, she is played by the actor Wei Qing, who plays the weeping old lady in "I Am Not a Medicine God".
This old lady can play a good person or a shrew, playing such an aura-filled villain, almost meaningless.
Moreover, Wu Fan's acting skills always feel very awkward, and I can't see where it is bad, but I just feel weird.
Action actors must not only be able to fight, but also act, otherwise why did Jet Li play for so many years before he won the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Actor with "Submission of Fame", so he still had to be good at writing.
Wu Fan's "Broken Gold" and Zhao Wenzhuo's "Counterattack", like zhao Wenzhuo, are not too ugly, but they are not good works, floating up and down the passing line, just like the two of them currently in the film and television industry, very embarrassing.
Please come to the "Wolf Warrior" screenwriter and action director, but Wu Fan is not Wu Jing after all, and the network movie "Broken Gold" cannot become a hit.
