But this relies on "Jiupin Sesame Official", "God of Gamblers" and "Deer and Ding Ji".
and other high-scoring works have won a good reputation.
was also criticized by the audience for being involved in erotic films.
You know, the female stars who have worked with him.
are all Qiu Shuzhen, Shu Qi, Zhu Yin and other national goddesses.
Asking others to make Fengyue films, wouldn't it be a disgraceful stroke to someone's acting career?
But Wang Jing said in an interview in recent years.
He likes literary films, but he also has to make money from commercial films.
In his opinion, movies can also be a business.
And the female stars who have worked with him also praise him.
After all, Wang Jing is aesthetic and famous.
Participating in his erotic movies is actually a boost to his acting career.
01, cooperate with amazing actresses
Ye Yuqing has become popular in Hong Kong entertainment this year with three classic erotic movies.
Wang Jing, who has already made a lot of money with several comedy movies, smelled the business opportunities.
At that time, the film market was in need of such films.
The Taiwanese market even pays a high price to introduce erotic films.
In the face of the "thirsty" market.
Wang Jing, who has always been business-minded, will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to make money.
So, in 1992, he took it personally.
customized "The Naked Lamb" for the actress Qiu Shuzhen, who has worked with her several times.
Qiu Shuzhen was originally a style of coquettishness and innocence.
This cooperation with Wang Jing has raised her characteristics to a higher level.
As soon as the movie aired, she became an instant hit.
If Qiu Shuzhen relied on Wang Jing to gain a little popularity before.
So this time, Wang Jing directly became a noble person in her career.
let her win the Best Actress at the Academy Awards that year, and lifted her coffee position for a few sections.
The success of this film is due to Qiu Shuzhen's excellent performance.
It is also because Wang Jing can keenly grasp the market trend.
And his lens is always used to shoot beauties.
Thanks to these skills, Wang Jing, who is going to test the water in the Fengyue market.
Once it is shot, the film made is several grades higher than the same type of film.
Later, he struck while the iron was hot and collaborated with Weng Hong in "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty".
It is worth mentioning that this movie was released in the same year as "Jiupin Sesame Official".
One is to use the ancient IP to sell the style.
One is to hide the cruel reality in nonsensical jokes.
The former was a box office hit, which made Wang Jing make enough money, but it also made him criticized;
The latter also makes money, but the audience only thinks that the money should be earned by him, and they praise this film.
Even now, Wang Jing's masterpiece is mentioned.
Everyone will also think of "Jiupin Sesame Official".
Why are the two films so different?
Just because Wang Jing is a businessman with a background.
When it's time to make money, he will put down his body and make works that cater to the audience but ruin his reputation.
When he wants to express the core, he can quickly get serious and shoot the realistic subject he wants.
He switched between the two identities freely, which made him rich today.
also left a number of masterpieces of his own.
After all, if you only make literary films, you will end up with complete loss.
After so many years, Wang Jing has always been active in the film market.
From the first goddess Zhu Yin, to the cooperation to Jing Tian, who is now popular.
He used professional lenses to record the unique beauty of women.
It's in a league of its own.
But he has a rule.
That is, follow the national regulations and don't make works that can't be released.
Back then, when regulations were not strict, erotic movies could not only be released but also make a lot of money.
He desperately made erotic films to make money.
Now that the discipline is strict, he put away this wild road.
From time to time, a few commercial films are released to make money.
When he makes movies, there is generally only one core idea - to make money.
And he was able to form such a mode of thinking, and his early experience made a lot of contributions.
02. The formation of commercial thinking
Wang Jing was originally born into a wealthy family.
's father, Wang Tianlin, was a very famous director at that time
With films such as "Peach Blossom River" and "Happy Events in the Family", he has created his own world in Hong Kong entertainment films.
has a famous father, and his family is extraordinarily wealthy.
It is said that Wang Jing's future road to directing will not be too difficult.
But at this time, something happened.
Wang Tianlin's company closed down due to poor management.
The life of a family of six fell into an embarrassment all of a sudden.
In the same year, Wang Jing's mother gave birth to a "gambling addiction".
It makes the already not wealthy family even worse.
For the survival of the family and to pay off the gambling debts owed by his wife.
Wang Tianlin can only make some "bad movies" that he disdained before to make more money.
In his spare time, he also has to do odd jobs to subsidize his family.
It can be said that it took a hundred times the effort to carry the whole family.
Later, due to his mother's repeated teachings, his parents' marriage could only come to an end.
Looking at the mother who was panicked in the face of huge gambling debts.
and families that have become fragmented because of lack of money.
Wang Jing's thirst for wealth reached its peak.
He studied Chinese in college, so he has a strong bookish atmosphere.
But thanks to his early experiences, he did not put himself in a spiritual condom.
The first thing I did as a director after graduation.
It's just thinking about what kind of film to make money.
The year he filmed his debut film "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants".
He relied on the essence of running the crew in four years of college, and his father's connections supported him.
The work was successfully completed.
And relying on the business thinking implanted by himself, it was a box office hit as soon as it was released.
Since then, Wang Jing has been out of control.
devotes himself to the film industry and continues to work hard.
Discover that "nonsensical comedy" is very popular with the public.
filmed the same type of comedy movie one after another;
found that the movie starring Stephen Chow did well at the box office.
directly customized the role for Stephen Chow, and often asked Stephen Chow to play.
Some people criticize Wang Jing for always being popular in a movie.
will come out with a film that changes the soup but not the medicine, and circles the audience's money.
Wang Jing did not refute these remarks, but she was not affected by the criticism.
He admits that he uses the template to make money.
And if you don't break the law or break the rules, this money can be said to be justified.
has been making movies for decades, and he has been ridiculed as the "king of bad movies".
He just accepted the title calmly.
He said that he also likes literary films, but he has to make commercial films.
After all, the premise of spreading positive energy is that you first have something to make a living.
It is said that Wang Jing has no level, but he is not ambiguous when investing in literary films.
Knowing that he was losing money, he threw money into it.
Just because I know that I can make money back by relying on commercial films.
From this point of view, the evaluation of Wang Jing cannot be summed up by a single sentence of "bad movie director".
He is far more complex and multifaceted than the audience thinks.
