Preface
In fact, in many TV series, there will be stand-ins, and they are rarely exposed in front of the screen, and they usually shoot their own scenes silently.
And the appearance of the stand-in is also to make the work more brilliant, and the martial arts scenes and difficult actions that the stars can't do will be completed by the stand-in.
Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid "goofing" during filming, when the director chooses a star stand-in, he will choose a stuntman who is the same as the star's body and even looks similar.
At first, netizens didn't notice these stand-ins, until they saw the photos of these celebrity stand-ins, and they realized that there were really people who looked like copy and paste.
So, which celebrities and stand-ins look alike? To what extent?
Wu Jing's stand-in: Hu Guofang
When it comes to martial arts stars, many people's first reaction is Jet Li, Jackie Chan and other veteran stars.
They relied on martial arts dramas to become famous, and their tricks attracted a lot of fans.
And now, they are also old, and the new martial arts stars have entered the audience's field of vision.
Wu Jing has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and even founded the Shadow Dance Hall, which specializes in martial arts training.
After becoming popular with "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing's fighting scenes have become more and more, and every time he watches it, it makes people's blood boil.
But few people know that Wu Jing also has a stand-in, and if it weren't for the photos, it would be really hard to believe.
Judging from a photo that broke out on the Internet, Wu Jing and the stand-in were sitting together, which was completely copy and paste.
I don't know if netizens recognize it, which side is the deity, and which side is the stuntman?
Netizens who are familiar with Wu Jing know that Wu Jing accidentally cut off a piece of his left thumb when he was a child.
Therefore, you can tell the difference between Wu Jing and the stuntman from your fingers, and the one on the left is Wu Jing.
And most of Wu Jing's scenes in the play are martial arts scenes, so the stuntman Hu Guofang's fighting scenes are also very good.
However, although he is very similar to Wu Jing in the photo, in fact, it is just the effect of makeup.
Hu Guofang, who is in a state of no makeup, has no resemblance to Wu Jing, and his appearance is also very handsome.
Nowadays, Hu Fangfang has slowly changed from a stuntman to an action actor and martial arts instructor.

Chow Yun-fat stand-in: Wen Xiang
Do you still remember the "God of Gamblers" in "Macau Vice"? Chow Yun-fat's image is simply deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After he became popular, more and more imitators also appeared, including "Guangzhou Chow Yun-fat" Wenxiang.
In fact, Wen Xiang's real name is Wang Qiangxin, and because he looks like Chow Yun-fat, he is often surprised by the people around him.
After that, Wen Xiang followed his friend's advice and began to appear on the stage of major imitation shows with his face.
However, such days are also hard, because the work is not fixed, and Wen Xiang sometimes can't even afford to eat.
Until the director of "Let the Bullets Fly" found him and invited him to film with Chow Yun-fat.
Of course, Wen Xiang will not miss such an opportunity, in order to be able to film smoothly, Wen Xiang lost 20 pounds a month.
And after the broadcast of this movie, because Wen Xiang's face was very "fake and real", many viewers did not see that Wen Xiang was a stand-in.
However, after it was revealed that Chow Yun-fat used a stand-in, there were many reports questioning Chow Yun-fat's use of a stand-in as a "big name".
All of these made Wen Xiang feel very confused, and in addition, he was unwilling to be Chow Yun-fat's stand-in all the time.
So, after the explosion, Wen Xiang did not continue filming and worked as a stuntman for Chow Yun-fat.
After that, he began to study acting, starred in many TV series, and also directed the movie "The Right World".

Jet Li's stand-in: Liu Kun
In many people's impressions, actors are glamorous, but stuntmen are not treated so well.
They rarely appear in front of the camera in public, and they seem to be just a "shadow" of the stars.
And they shoot dangerous scenes in the play, but few people know their names.
Moreover, stuntmen are also a dangerous industry, and they may even take their lives.
For example, Jet Li's stuntman Liu Kun passed away because of filming a scene.
Although Jet Li is an international martial arts superstar, he will also use stand-ins for many dangerous scenes.
In 2011, Jet Li was invited to shoot the Hollywood blockbuster "Bloody Mission 2".
And while filming an explosion scene, Jet Li's stuntman Liu Kun came on the stage.
As a result, during the filming process, there was a little mistake, which led to Liu Kun being seriously injured and finally died, and Liu Kun was only 26 years old at the time.
Moreover, this explosion scene also led to the injury of five people in the crew, resulting in 1 death and 5 injuries.
After Liu Kun's death, his family sued the crew in court, and the court finally awarded 150,000 yuan in compensation.
And because in the explosion, it was Jet Li's stuntman who died, so it also caused many netizens to discuss.

Gong Li's stand-in: Zhou Xianxin
If you want to say that a star stand-in who can "confuse the real with the fake", Gong Li's stuntman Zhou Xianxin is definitely on the list.
She and Gong Li filmed "Zhou Yu's Train" together, and the two played two women alternately in the play.
If it weren't for the later reports, and the photos came out, it's really hard to believe that someone would look so similar.
Judging from the photos, Zhou Xianxin's facial features are extremely similar except for the difference between his face shape and Gong Li.
However, Zhou Xianxin is not only Gong Li's stuntman, she is also very good.
She originally studied medicine and had a job in a pharmaceutical factory, and then followed the advice of others and studied acting.
Zhou Xianxin applied for the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama and graduated successfully, and became Gong Li's stand-in, which also happened during his study of Chinese opera.
And after Zhou Xianxin became famous because of Gong Li's stand-in, he didn't want to have the title of "Gong Li's stand-in" on his head forever.
So, she began to film frequently, and with her superb acting skills, the audience remembered her name Zhou Xianxin.

Yang Mi's stand-in is shocking
The above celebrity stand-ins are relatively normal, but when I saw Yang Mi's stand-in, I really couldn't help laughing.
Under normal circumstances, the stand-in of a star will choose one that is similar to the star's body shape and appearance.
But Yang Mi's stand-in is the opposite, not only is his body shape not similar, but even his gender is different.
This is a male substitute used by Yang Mi in "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", not to mention anything else, it is really too different from Yang Mi.
If there is any similarity between the two photos, it may be that both of them are wearing blue dresses.

epilogue
In fact, many netizens have doubts about the use of stand-ins by celebrities, after all, their salaries are so high, but they do not go into battle in person, but use stand-ins to fool the audience.
However, the use of stand-ins is not that the actors are irresponsible, but in order to present better results in film and television, after all, not all actors know martial arts.
