After the domestic war blockbuster "Watergate Bridge of Chosin Lake" was released on the first day of the Chinese New Year on February 1 this year, it received more than 3 billion yuan at the box office in less than ten days.
The result of 3 billion yuan makes this film become the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival with an absolute advantage, which is the eighth champion won by lead actor Wu Jing in the Chinese film industry with a single film.
Before "Chosin Lake's Water gate Bridge", the reason why Wu Jing won the third and fourth box office titles was with "Chosin Lake".
"Chosin Lake" was released in the National Day file last year, and the film surpassed "Hello, Li Huanying" in just one month, winning the annual box office championship that year. In just 57 days, it surpassed China's former box office champion "Wolf Warrior 2" and broke the Chinese box office record.
Released in the National Day file, and finally broke the Chinese box office record, it naturally became the box office champion of the National Day file that year.
As an actor, Wu Jing debuted very early, and the starting point is still very high. In the mid-1990s, he starred in the kung fu film "Kung Fu Kid Breaks Through" directed by Yuan Heping.
Although his debut was early and his starting point was very high, Wu Jing did not really become popular until he was in his forties, which is what we often call "late success". The movie that made Wu Jing really popular was "Wolf Warrior 2" directed and self-starred by him.
In July 2017, Wu Jing's self-directed and self-acting "Wolf Warrior 2" turned out to be a success. At that time, few people in China should have been able to imagine that this film could finally receive a high box office of more than 5.6 billion yuan, and few people could have imagined that Wu Jing would become a first-line superstar in China, but all this did happen.
A "Wolf Warrior 2" earned more than 5.6 billion yuan, which can be said to be a "ceiling" level achievement at that time. In this way, the film directly won three box office champions, one is the Chinese summer box office champion, one is the annual box office champion, and the other is the Chinese box office champion.
After the great success of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing ushered in the spring of his acting career, with various film appointments and various high-quality films coming.
In the Spring Festival file of 2019, the domestic science fiction blockbuster "The Wandering Earth" starring Wu Jing came out.
Once the science fiction genre has always been a short board for Chinese domestic films, until the release of "The Wandering Earth", Chinese audiences have seen the hope of domestic science fiction films.
The complete story plot, real and shocking special effects scenes, made "The Wandering Earth" highly acclaimed, the film with its high reputation finally earned more than 4.6 billion yuan box office, won the Spring Festival box office champion that year.
Three war films, one science fiction film, and the cumulative box office of four movies has approached 20 billion yuan. Coupled with the box office of other films he starred in, the cumulative total box office of films starring Wu Jing is now close to 28 billion.
The box office of 28 billion yuan not only made Wu Jing the first person in China's box office, but also made him surpass Jackie Chan and become the highest-grossing Chinese in the world.
Now, in China, Wu Jing no longer needs to surpass anyone, and his next goal is to surpass himself and make himself the first 30 billion actor in China.
