[The giants of the mixed film and television circle: Bartle, Ma Jian, Jiang Baocheng, Sun Mingming, is it a good way out? 】
In the just-concluded 2019 Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Nigeria and did not have the opportunity to go straight to the Tokyo Olympic Games. Yi Jianlian, who performed heroically in this game, scored 27 points and 7 boards, and the Chinese team was helpless to slump across the board. Although after this game, Yi Jianlian denied quitting the national team, after all, he is already a 35-year-old veteran, and his professional life has entered the countdown.
In fact, there are not many samples that can be referred to in the life of a basketball player after retirement, such as Wang Zhizhi, who is a coach, and Yao Ming, who is the president of the Basketball Association.
As the first person active in Chinese basketball, Yi Jianlian's body proportions and appearance are the best, and he even has the capital of mixing entertainment circles. However, the giant of more than 2 meters is not an advantage in the entertainment industry, but more of a limitation. Yi Jianlian has also participated in some basketball variety shows, and the stars in the entertainment industry who have always liked to play ball still have a little friendship. 】
Look at the works and footprints left by those predecessors, giants who are more than 2 meters tall, in the film and television circle!
【Battle】
Munch Battle is the first Chinese player to win the NBA championship, playing for Beijing Shougang, NBA San Antonio Spurs, Xinjiang Guanghui and other teams.
On July 28, 2015, Battle officially announced his retirement; on October 28, 2018, Battle was elected president of the Inner Mongolia Basketball Association. Prior to that, Battle starred in 4 films and was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
In 2006, he played Yella in "Azure Hanggai", in 2009 in "October Siege" as the righteous soldier Wang Fuming, in 2010 "God of Wealth" as the giant god of wealth, in 2015 "Journey to the West" as a sand monk.
At 2.11 meters tall, Battle is the shortest of China's three centers, but in the movie, it is always the tallest giant tower.
In the action drama "October Siege", The character played by Battle was originally from Shaolin, but he was exiled to Hong Kong to sell stinky tofu. In order not to waste his height and a basketball skill, martial arts instructor Dong Wei specially designed a set of headshots with winter melons for him, just like a dunk, which is definitely the best action design.
In "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi retired to the executive producer and invited Xu Ke to be the director, while Xu Ke invited Battle to play the sand monk, which also made him the tallest sand monk in history. In particular, a blue-black skin, coupled with a height of more than 2 meters, there is also a mighty power under the gods, which is quite in line with the original work.
【Ma Jian】
Born in 1969 in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, Ma Jian is 2.02 meters tall, an old predecessor in the basketball world, but his achievements in the field of basketball are not outstanding. He was selected for the national team, competed in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, then studied in the United States, played for the NCAA Utah University team, and later won the Philippine League Foreign Player of the Year Award. In 1998, he joined the Beijing Aoshen team and in 2002, he joined the Shanghai Sharks.
After leaving the basketball world, Ma Jian became a very good basketball game commentator, professional basketball knowledge and colorful career experience, making his game commentary more exciting and in-depth.
In 2010, Ma Jian starred in 4 movies, "People on the Road", "You Should Be Single", "Decisive Battle brake horse town", "Seven Little Luohan", all of which are some dragon set characters. In "Seven Little Luohans", it is a big fool who can't do without chocolate, in "Decisive Battle Brake Horse Town" is a tall thug in the treasure theft gang, "Deserve You To Be Single" directly plays a patient with psychological problems, and in "People on the Road" is a vendor who follows Li Xiaolu to sell watches at the train station.
With Ma Jian's mind, it is not difficult for him to mix the entertainment circle, but the height limit can only play these silly big roles, so he did not continue to develop in the film and television circle after that.
【Jiang Baocheng】
Jiang Baochengyuan is a judo athlete with a height of 2.03 meters. There is too little information to know what kind of athletic achievements he has achieved before, but in 2008 he starred in the action movie "Wolf's Tooth" directed and starring Wu Jing.
"Wolf's Teeth" has several major selling points, one is Wu Jing's directorial debut, the other is the exaggerated one-hundred in the final showdown, and the third is Wu Jing's second kill of 2 meters of giant. Jiang Baocheng is the 2-meter giant in the film, which is also his film debut.
Later, Jiang Baocheng played a prison bully in "Tough Guy 2 To the End", but was killed by more fierce bandits; he also participated in films such as "King Kong: Death Redemption", "Kung Fu Man" and "All the Way Chuan 囧".
In 2019, in the adventure suspense web drama "Ghost Blowing Lantern Fury Qing Xiangxi", he played Kunlun Mole, a personal servant of Chen Yulou. Following Chen Yulou downstairs to search for treasure in the tomb, in order to save Chen Yulou and other brothers in distress, he died tragically in the urn city trap.
Compared with Bartle, Ma Jian and others who have achieved results in basketball or basketball commentary and are more focused on their own work, Jiang Baocheng regards actors as a profession. Jiang Baocheng has an accurate role positioning, and has practiced judo and can really play, and the role of a thick giant is right for him.
【Sun Mingming】
Sun Mingming is 2.35 meters tall, taller than Yao Ming, but his achievements in basketball are not at all the same magnitude as Yao Ming. In November 2009, Sun Mingming joined the CBA Beijing Shougang Basketball Club, but he did not play much time, and the data was not to mention. [Sun Mingming was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, which led to continuous growth in height, and only stopped growing taller after surgery in 2005.] 】
In 2007, Sun Mingming participated in the Jackie Chan movie "Rush Hour 3", in which he played a giant kung fu master in the Chinese martial arts hall in the United States, and his height can become a highlight.
In 2016, Sun Mingming participated in the suspenseful adventure web drama "Ghost Blowing Lantern Essence of the Ancient City", playing the classic monster Red Dragon; as well as the network movie "Causeway Bay Adventure", Sun Mingming and the heroine in the film, Wang Yunyi, who is 153 in height, form a huge height contrast. In 2017, in Yuan Heping's fantasy martial arts movie "Qimen Dunjia", Sun Mingming played the King Kong finger of the seven sons of Wuyin.
In addition, relying on the height advantage, he has participated in many variety shows, performed skits, etc., and basically has not lost a group photo.
Compared with Jiang Baocheng, Sun Mingming is also a full-time mixed showbiz, but the role positioning is not so good, but it is good to be on the variety show.
Compared with the above giant predecessors who have mixed with the showbiz circle, Yi Jianlian is definitely worthy of the idol faction, but is the showbiz really suitable for him?
