The movie "Shy Iron Fist" has set off a boxing fever in China, this film that created a boxing box office of 2.2 billion not only allowed Allen, Ma Li and Shen Teng to take their acting careers to a higher level, but also won many newcomer actors, among which the boxer "Wu Liang", who was the biggest villain, had countless fans with a tendon meat circle, and the actor Xue Haowen, who played Wu Liang, has also been deeply associated with boxing since then.
In 2018, Xue Haowen was invited by China's top boxing event KOK to participate in an unprecedented competition, the reason why it is called unprecedented, because he is the first person in China to cross from actor status to professional boxing real gun combat, in that competition that attracted the attention of tens of millions of viewers, Xue Haowen cleanly KO Cameroonian professional boxer Christian Krogan Northan, beautifully won his professional boxing debut. After winning the competition, Xue Haowen was very excited to tell everyone: "I can't live without boxing, I hope more people will join the sport of boxing!" ”
That match made Chinese boxing achieve a good circle breaking, and also made more people pay attention to the sport of boxing. In fact, with the rapid development of various fields in recent years, "cross-border" and "fusion" have become the norm of the evolution of things, and examples from the identity of boxers to movies abound.
Audiences who pay attention to boxing and fighting sports will not forget that Zou Shiming and Yilong have successively participated in the blockbusters of "Transformers 4" and "Captain America 3", showing the world the style of Chinese boxers, and the boxing king Tyson has participated in "Ip Man 3", "Drunkard" and other popular masterpieces, and his fist-to-flesh fierce fighting style has left a deep impression on the audience, Roy Jones, who fought with Tyson for 8 rounds last month, starred in "The Matrix 2" and explained why he is the "god of boxing" in the fight with his opponents. Another former P4P king, "Son of God," Andre Ward, made his screen debut in 2015 as "Danny Wheeler" as a top light heavyweight in Quidditch.
In addition to the above-mentioned boxing kings, the real crossover play is the American comedy star Martin Lawrence, friends who often watch American movies will never forget this talented actor, and the "Jedi X-Men" series starring him and Will Smith can be called a classic that the genre cannot surpass. In addition, he also showed his fist skills in films such as "Black Knight", emulating Roy Jones, Leonard and other celebrities to teach each other with "spiral straight fist", which caused the audience to laugh. In fact, Martin was a highly skilled AAU boxing champion and won the second place in the American Golden Glove Boxing Championship, and his boxing skills were quite good. It is estimated that Martin currently has a wealth of $110 million.
As can be seen from these examples, there is no clear line between boxing and film, and the two can be easily interchanged as long as the conditions are right. Relying on the core events, to create a film and television, entertainment, star brokerage and other industrial chains of THE KOK professional boxing series ring, piled up a variety of distinctive characteristics, different styles of athletes, some of them are handsome, super good, can cross the fashion circle to test the water, there are also like cynical, do not play according to common sense of the alternative boxing masters, in the network big data exposure, some of them will soon be remembered by the audience and scouts, do not rule out the possibility of becoming "China's Martin Lawrence" in the future.
Some industry analysts pointed out that KOK is good at discovering the different shining points of athletes, and relying on the practice of big data exposure is very worth advocating: "In the past for a long time, the reason why Chinese boxers have rarely been paid attention to is mainly because their personalities cannot be recognized, and the publicity held by the event is only disseminated in a small area, and the thinking of painting the ground hinders the brand communication at the same time, but also restricts the all-round development of athletes." The emergence of KOK has made up for these weaknesses in a timely manner, and I believe that the integration of boxing and film in China will be more close in the future. ”
