Wu Jing: From obscurity to box office champion
Wu Jing became famous with the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" and attracted a lot of attention. When the film was released, the box office reached 100 million, becoming the first person at the inland box office and directly becoming the box office champion.
The unknown Wu Jing has actually entered the entertainment industry very early, and he has filmed many TV series, but he has not become popular.
However, it was not until 2017, when his self-directed and self-acted "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, that he was known to everyone. This film won him many awards and gave him a taste of patriotic theme movies.
Since then, Wu Jing's career has been out of control. He made many films with a patriotic theme, which at first received a good response. However, over time, many viewers began to express dissatisfaction with his practice of making money under the guise of patriotism.
Revealing Wu Jing: From military image to patriotic spokesperson, is it true love or business strategy?
Movie star Wu Jing has always played a role in shaping the image of a "soldier" and is considered a spokesman for patriotism, and some netizens even used his photo P to write the word "patriotic" on the background of the meme.
However, in private, Wu Jing shows a funny side, which frequently causes laughter in various activities. However, what he didn't expect was that over time, netizens began to feel that he was too conspicuous in every activity, which was exhausting.
Wu Jing's comedy style is hilarious. His hilarious scenes at many events once became his symbol. However, this phenomenon of extreme counter-polarity began to make netizens question him, does every event have to show such an active image?
Many fans admit that they supported Wu Jing before, but now they believe that he over-promotes the patriotism in the film and uses patriotism as a business strategy. This behavior makes people feel abominable, especially since "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing's works are almost always with a strong patriotic color.
Many viewers believe that no matter what role Wu Jing plays, it is inseparable from the shadow of disaster movies, and there are many complaints in the content of the movies he starred in. However, every time a movie is released, Wu Jing can reap great rewards.
With the help of the image of a patriotic spokesperson created by the image of a pseudo-soldier, Wu Jing triggered the emotional differentiation of the audience.
Some found his overly prominent image of a comedic hero annoying and unacceptable, while questioning whether he used patriotism as a business strategy. However, the roles he played in various disaster films made his films always have a high reputation and made a lot of money.
Recently, Wu Jing's wind reviews have been frequently affected, and some fans said that Wu Jing is now floating because he has become popular in recent years.
This voice also makes people think that in today's society, people are often carried away by success, and their greedy nature will gradually expand with success. But for Wu Jing, will it fall into this predicament?
Wu Jing's early experience can draw some inspiration from his dedication to martial arts. When he was a child, he came from a martial arts family, which undoubtedly became the biggest motivation for him to continue practicing martial arts.
From an early age, he showed extraordinary talent and hard work, and through participating in some martial arts competitions, he won many championships, which made him stand out.
In 1995, it was because of his outstanding martial arts that Wu Jing was favored by the director of "Kung Fu Kid" and stepped into the entertainment industry.
How does a champion transform into an actor? This is a curious question. Wu Jing's persistence and efforts on the road of acting are self-evident, and he did not rely solely on these achievements to obtain the status of an actor.
However, why is Wu Jing said by some to be using patriotism as a pretense? This requires us to think deeply about the reasons behind this.
Wu Jing: Rethink your film choices
In recent years, Wu Jing has won the love and good impression of the audience with his outstanding performance in "Wolf Warrior 2".
However, he then shot a series of new films with patriotic themes, which made audiences who had a good impression of him begin to feel impatient and began to question whether he was just eating patriotic food.
After the success of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing seems to be fascinated by the patriotic theme complex full of dividends. However, audience feedback tells us that starring in patriotic films too often has begun to negatively affect his image.
The audience is tired and disappointed, hoping that he can try more diverse roles and themes, and show richer acting skills and styles.
Of course, Wu Jing's efforts to expand the international market are also commendable. His latest film "Megalodon 2" has been a huge success in China, however, this film has brought a lot of damage to his reputation in overseas markets.
The audience began to question his strength, whether it was acting skills or plot, they were criticized for being scattered and lacking logical relationships.
Wu Jing in "Megalodon 2" seems to have become a useless tool person, just an ordinary soy sauce character. His emotional performance and lines caused embarrassment to the audience off-screen.
This time, Wu Jing did not impress the audience, but made people begin to doubt his acting skills and career choices.
Wu Jing in criticism
In the Chinese film industry, Wu Jing rose to prominence with his excellent action scenes.
However, his best action scenes are jokingly called "unbearable", and most of the difficult actions in the film are achieved through special effects synthesis. This phenomenon has caused many people to ridicule, and even think that he has insulted the image of Chinese films abroad.
However, Wu Jing is not only questioned in action scenes. The movie "The Climber" starring him was highly anticipated before its release, but after its release, it was widely controversial, and the website was almost full of bad reviews.
People questioned that in addition to being good at fighting scenes, his performance in other aspects was completely inferior to some of the stars with a lot of traffic, and accused most of the film's plot of being too sensational and lacking substantive content.
What is even more outrageous is that some people have made groundless speculations about Wu Jing's family background, saying that he and Xie Nan both have foreign passports, and even questioning him for collecting money in the name of patriotism. Wu Jing's wife Xie Nan could only post Wu Jing's passport to calm the dispute.
Faced with a series of accusations against himself, Wu Jing scolded back unbearably at an event, "Cheap is not cheap." "Expressed his indignation.
However, these events have seriously affected his normal life, making people wonder why an actor is so discouraged.
"Wolf Warrior 2": Uncover the truth of Wu Jing's "patriotic" character
In the summer of 2017, the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" starring Wu Jing swept the entire Chinese film market, in addition to achieving huge box office success, it also gradually showed Comrade Wu Jing's "patriotic" image in front of the public.
However, more than a month after the film's release, a series of controversies over Wu Jing's public welfare donations once again brought him to the forefront.
First of all, Wu Jing posted a blessing on social platforms more than a month after the movie was released, but this move was immediately questioned by netizens. With the film getting so high at the box office, does he plan to donate money to the disaster area?
However, many fans may see such accusations as lacking in moral grounds. Do you have to donate money when a movie has a high box office?
As a patriotic actor and director, a patriotic fighter who is a businessman, Comrade Wu Jing not only expresses his love for the country in fictional movies, but also quietly dedicates himself in the face of real disasters.
These doubts are undoubtedly moral questioning of Wu Jing, believing that since he is so patriotic and the box office is so proud, he should take the initiative to participate in public welfare undertakings. However, in the face of such forced donations, Wu Jing chose to remain silent.
Recently, the Myanmar incident has become a hot topic, and netizens have once again put Wu Jing, who has established a "patriotic" personality, on the table to "educate" its performance that does not conform to reality. Many viewers said that in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", many plots simply do not match the real world.
Some netizens went to Wu Jing and his wife's social platform to claim that they wanted to refund the ticket, thinking that they had been deceived, not only wasting time and money, but also blocking them for no reason.
This kind of behavior will mislead many people, make everyone's understanding of the events in Myanmar too simplistic, and eventually become misguided victims. Some netizens even asked, since Wu Jing is so patriotic, why didn't he personally go to Myanmar to help the victims?
When did Wu Jing's character collapse begin? Is Wu Jing's "retribution" related to the patriotic setting he set for himself?
In early August, Wu Jing posted photos of himself in military uniform on social platforms, but was questioned and criticized by netizens. This makes people wonder when Wu Jing's character began to deteriorate, and why he was accused of not taking his "retribution".
Wu Jing published photos of himself in military uniform on social platforms, causing controversy and doubts. Many netizens think that he is setting up a person, trying to use the image of a military to gain attention and support.
However, this behavior was rebuffed on the spot by a big V, pointing out that military personnel should not wear military uniforms in public, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
When the photo was first sent, some netizens suspected that Wu Jing was setting up a person. However, they chose to remain silent for fear of violent attacks by Wu Jing's fans. At the same time, many fans defended Wu Jing as a real soldier.
However, an informed source came forward to "punch in the face" fans, claiming that Wu Jing was not a real soldier and calling on fans to verify by themselves.
This incident revealed the shortcomings of Wu Jing's frequent characterization, causing many people to mistakenly think that he was a soldier, in essence, Wu Jing only needed to train in the army for a few months for the movie, and could not be counted as a soldier.
It is precisely because Wu Jing often presents himself as a soldier that many people misunderstand him. His patriotic character became the source of many criticisms. Since you have chosen this path, you must bear your own "retribution".
Wu Jing's personality has long been shattered, so when did his image begin to collapse? This question gives people food for thought.
Although the patriotic image promoted by Wu Jing was sought after by some people, it also caused doubts and accusations from others.
A simple act has caused netizens to question Wu Jing's "patriotic" persona, should he lead by example?
At the 2002 Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, Wu Jing inadvertently became the focus of public opinion. He quickly took out his phone and happily took a picture with friends.
However, careful netizens found that the star who endorsed ZTE mobile phone actually used an Apple mobile phone. This discovery has sparked a large number of netizens controversy over Wu Jing's "patriotic" stance, since he is the spokesperson of the mobile phone, why does he use foreign brands in public?
Wu Jing's loyal fans are trying to defend him, arguing that work and life should be viewed separately, what mobile phone to use is a personal choice, and it is pointless to pay attention to mobile phone brands.
However, most netizens did not buy it, they believed that as a public figure, Wu Jing should lead by example and assume corresponding social responsibilities and pressure, which is not only responsible for himself, but also responsible for fans. This incident once again brought his character to collapse.
On the one hand, Wu Jing only used Apple mobile phones in public, which does not mean that he does not support domestic mobile phones. After all, mobile phones are only part of an individual's life, and there are relatively few questions about the interests of the country.
On the other hand, as the spokesperson of ZTE Mobile Phone, Wu Jing's move seems to be contrary to his image, giving people a feeling of "turning over". As a result, Wu Jing may need to tread more carefully to preserve his public image.
Revealing Wu Jing's scandalous rumors: what is the truth?
Regarding the various scandalous rumors about Wu Jing, we can't help but wonder: Is the truth behind public figures always as netizens see?
A photo of Wu Jing dating a woman at a restaurant caused an uproar. Xie Nan was pregnant at the time, and the incident almost destroyed Wu Jing's image as a good man. However, what is the truth?
Careful netizens revealed that in fact, Wu Jing went to the mall that day to buy gifts, ready to surprise his wife. Unfortunately, he was mistaken for a date by a passing paparazzi and maliciously spread. This incident had a negative impact on Wu Jing's reputation.
Looking back at Wu Jing's past, the 2006 drunk driving incident is an important juncture. At that time, Wu Jing drank some alcohol for entertainment, but he encountered the dilemma of changing shifts and the substitute driver was temporarily absent.
Faced with the reminder of the security guard, Wu Jing was asked to move the car slightly, but he did not expect that the distance of less than a few meters would eventually bring a huge change to his life. Accidentally caught by the traffic police, he was sentenced to 12 days of administrative detention, and his driver's license was cleared, and the fine exceeded 1,000 yuan.
Despite this, Wu Jing's situation seems to be wronged, but these harsh punishments have undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to his reputation, and those netizens who are keen to criticize him are not impressed.
epilogue
All this time, Wu Jing seems to have been consuming his popularity. He frequently participated in meaningless works, and although he may be a success at the box office, he inevitably ugly his image. This is indeed a worrying trend.
Wu Jing, re-select the script, improve acting skills, and shape the real value of the work. Let's look forward to his more surprising and moving works in the future.
