Wu Jing is busy.
The movie "The Wandering Earth 2" starring him is still being released, and his cameo film "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" (hereinafter referred to as "Chinese Table Tennis") is also about to be released.
In addition to participating as an actor, Dengfeng International Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., which he founded, participated in both films either as a main producer or as a co-producer.
At the premiere of "Chinese Table Tennis", Wu Jing and "The Wandering Earth 2" director Guo Fan supported the scene together, "Big balls and small balls cheer together!" Although the three have collaborated on the movie "King Kong River", what is more moving may be the confidence of the Chinese filmmakers behind them to help each other and Wu Jing's good popularity.
The movie "Dragon Horse Spirit" that he cooperated with Jackie Chan is also scheduled to be released on April 7, which is an agreement between the two at the Jackie Chan International Action Film Week event.
In the eyes of the eldest brother, Wu Jing can be called a righteousness. Jackie Chan has successfully held six International Action Film Weeks, and Wu Jing is the only action actor who has gone to the platform to support him every time so far.
Good popularity, as well as the audience's expectations of the work, make the actor more attractive.
01.
The popularity of "The Wandering Earth 2" remains high, and now it is a counterattack to return to the single-day box office champion, full of stamina.
In addition, many people began to urge director Guo Fan to change, joking that he should not sleep, and quickly got up to create "The Wandering Earth 3". After all, during the roadshow, he has "spoiled" a lot of clues left by "The Wandering Earth 2", suggesting that Wu Jing and Andy Lau have a chance to return.
But everyone is curious, the second part is a prequel to "The Wandering Earth 1", so what will be the timeline of the third part?
Liu Peiqiang, played by Wu Jing, has been sacrificed in the first part, and Tu Hengyu, played by Andy Lau, has turned into a digital life. As long as Guo Fan wants to do it, there must be a way to make these two characters return.
Especially after the creation of two works, Guo Fan has built a more comprehensive world view for this series. It's just that everyone may be more concerned about whether Wu Jing's salary can be settled in advance.
This cliché topic was even talked about by the media at the Beijing International Film Festival in August 2022. When everyone threw this question to the two, Guo Fan replied with some fun, "This time the budget is not enough, give it later."
Many people know that when filming "The Wandering Earth", Guo Fan "fooled" Wu Jing from cameo to starring and then to investment, but the details behind it were not so clear.
When preparing for "The Wandering Earth", director Guo Fan and producer Gong Ge have always had a headache for the role of Liu Peiqiang, there are not many scenes, there is not much interaction with other actors, it is difficult for anyone to be willing to accept, not to mention that the science fiction movies at that time were not optimistic.
When Guo Fan first found Wu Jing, it was in the fall of 2016, and the other party did not agree. On the one hand, Wu Jing is preparing for the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2".
In the summer of 2017, the success of "Wolf Warrior 2" needless to say, "The Wandering Earth" has just completed the phased completion, but Liu Peiqiang's scene still has not started, and many actors have refused the invitation.
Just when Guo Fan was in trouble, Wu Jing took the initiative to contact him. Then things developed as everyone knows, and it became a miracle for the 2019 Spring Festival.
At that moment, Wu Jing and Guo Fan said, "When I see you, I think of me at the beginning!" ”
Because of the cooperation of "The Wandering Earth", the relationship between the two is not just a simple working partner. In the process of filming "The Climber", Wu Jing learned the story of one of the prototypes, Xia Boyu, found Guo Fan at the first time, and invested in the legendary climber's documentary film "Endless Climbing", and borrowed the strength of the creative team of "The Wandering Earth" to "add bricks" to the production of the film.
Because I have been in the rain, I want to hold up an umbrella for others. Wu Jing and Guo Fan, just like Yu Baimei and Wu Jing.
The latter has been a friend for many years, and Wu Jing decided to want "Wolf Warrior 2" at that time, so he first found Yu Baimei, hoping that the other party could serve as a screenwriter for this. But at that time, Yu Baimei, who had just finished the roadshow of "Villain Angel", was caught in the negative mood of word-of-mouth public opinion and politely refused the other party. As a result, Wu Jing's "Sangu Yu family" again asked the script problem, and asked the other party to recommend screenwriter-related books.
In the end, Yu Baimei agreed to participate in "Wolf Warrior 2", and even the orange image behind him and Deng Chao participated in the investment. For this reason, Wu Jing set the "Yu Baimei" on the steamer at the beginning of the movie.
As early as Yu Baimei and Deng Chao's debut novel "Breakup Master", Wu Jing has made a cameo appearance in friendship. The cooperation and success of "Wolf Warrior 2" brought more experience to Yu Baimei, making him start to re-look at the relationship between "Chinese audiences" and "Chinese stories".
As a result, Yu Baimei began to create a third film work "Galaxy Cram School" with Deng Chao, and Wu Jing, as a producer, invested in and participated in the film. The relationship between the three filmmakers became closer and closer, and they subsequently collaborated on "Me and My Hometown", "Me and My Fathers" and "Chinese Table Tennis".
The cooperation of the three does not stop there, there is also a common group in private, talking to each other about the gains and losses of work, will buy the same movie books, if you see a page that is related to the movie they made, they will screenshot and send it to the group, share the problems encountered in filming together, help each other, and make progress together.
After experiencing the cooperation of "Me and My Fathers", Yu Baimei once again created a new work "Iron Ride" as a screenwriter, and the project unit is Wu Jing's Ascending International.
02.
If Guo Fan became a "master of transformation" because of "The Wandering Earth", then Wu Jing can definitely be called an "ancestor" in this regard.
In addition to Yu Baimei, the supporting role Yu Qian in the film was also "brushed face" by Wu Jing.
In everyone's impression, the more intersection of Wu Jing and Yu Qian is a classic cameo in "Teacher Good" later, which became a national emoji. A big reason for this comes from his gratitude for humility.
When he was "Hong Kong drifting" in his early years, because he was not familiar with life and did not have many friends around him, he just listened to Guo Degang's crosstalk to live, and once frankly said on the show that Guo Degang was his "spiritual pillar" at that time.
Therefore, the relationship between Wu Jing and Yu Qian is getting closer and closer. When preparing for the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing had a role, there were not many scenes, even a little negative, and he had to go to Africa to shoot on the spot, plus the budget was not much. He thought of Yu Qian.
Shi Qian later said at the press conference that he didn't know what kind of role this was in advance, but he was "fooled" by Wu Jing, and this role was none other than him. Without saying a word, he answered, and when he arrived at the crew, he knew that he wanted to play a "profiteer".
When he knew about the financial problems of the crew, Yu Qian directly participated in zero pay. Not only that, during the release of the movie, he did not have many scenes, but he also accompanied Wu Jing and ran a lot of road shows.
In addition to the well-known "Teacher Good", Wu Jing also made a cameo appearance in the Deyun Society movie "Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors". In the project book of Yu Qian's new work "Old Rivers and Lakes", Wu Jing also appeared in surprise.
In addition to cooperation in film and television, Wu Jing's son worships Yu Qian as a master, and the two continue more extra-theatrical stories.
In fact, in the filming of the "Wolf Warrior" series, Wu Jing's actors who "brushed their faces" were not only Qian, but also the well-known "rescue king" Lu Jingshan in the sequel; and Ni Dahong, an actor who is supported by friendship in "Wolf Warrior".
Wu Jing once wanted to invite him to star in the sequel in order to thank Ni Dahong for his support, but he was rejected by the other party, for a simple reason, "My character has died in the first part, if I enter "Wolf Warrior 2" in the second capacity, the audience is easy to play, and the integrity of the whole play will be greatly reduced." ”
His relationship with Ni Dahong comes from the cooperation of the movie "West Wind".
And in Wu Jing's circle of friends, the most famous "dead ghost", Duan Yihong, is also the result of the cooperation of this film.
It was once turned over by many netizens about the interesting interaction between the two on social platforms. It's just a pity for the audience that the two didn't have the opportunity to cooperate again until "Changjin Lake".
Sincerity for sincerity, using works to connect these emotions, perhaps this is the charm of creating between actors, another dimension.
