Once upon a time, Wu Jing was undoubtedly a model of a strong and brave tough guy! In the hearts of the majority of fans, his heroic image of being masculine and refreshing and never admitting defeat vividly demonstrates the great national spirit of the Chinese sons and daughters who are resolute and unyielding and sacrifice their lives for righteousness.
However, what is amazing is that just as Wu Jing became famous with his starring "Wolf Warrior" series of films and became a household name, he was helplessly forced to transform himself and accept his sharp personality.
On many occasions, Wu Jing has called for the inheritance of the fine traditional morality of the Chinese nation in an impassioned voice, and he has frankly criticized the portrayal of some of today's young fresh meat actors as too feminine, which is misleading the younger generation of audiences.
However, it is precisely this outspoken and unreserved style that has attracted the criticism and criticism of many people on the Internet.
Some ill-intentioned people have even begun to question whether Wu Jing is borrowing the theme of "patriotism" to make a fortune, claiming that Wu Jing's patriotic remarks are really just to promote his films.
Although Wu Jing was dismissive of this, the situation became more serious as the incident escalated, and some even revealed that he and his family had already emigrated overseas and were not really Chinese citizens.
In the face of such a malicious slanderous attack, Wu Jing was filled with endless resentment in his heart, but on the surface, he gradually reined in his former sharpness.
In order to continue to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, he had to make adjustments in his words and deeds to avoid causing controversy again.
Since then, Wu Jing no longer shows his emotional world too publicly, nor does he easily judge others. In order to better adapt to the environment of this circle, he had to put on a coat of "camouflage" and hide his true self deeply.
As the wise quote widely circulated on the Internet says: "Is it so difficult to admit that a person is good?" It is appropriate to use this sentence to describe Wu Jing.
At the same time, this also reflects the "sad" status quo of today's entertainment industry.
When we talk about Wu Jing's brilliant achievements today, in fact, his artistic path was not so smooth and smooth.
Looking back on his hard work in his early years, Wu Jing was just an unknown young actor who frequently appeared in many film and television dramas, however, due to the short role and high similarity of the characters, he did not receive full attention and recognition from the audience.
However, the turning point of fate came when Wu Jing was fortunate enough to play the role of "He Chenguang" in the TV series "The King of Land War", and the image of this brave and decisive special forces soldier who was not afraid of danger deeply touched his heart.
At that time, there was almost no war genre film in the Chinese film market with the military as the background, let alone any work that could become an industry leader in this field.
It is precisely because of the role of He Chenguang that Wu Jing has a strong desire to use movies to show the perseverance and heroism of Chinese soldiers who regard death as home.
The Wenchuan earthquake that shocked the world in 2008 undoubtedly became a critical moment for Wu Jing to turn this idea into a firm belief.
Having personally experienced this disaster, he not only witnessed the purgatory-like scene on earth, but was also deeply moved by the heroic spirit of the Chinese soldiers who sacrificed their lives for righteousness and regarded death as their home.
Therefore, in this rescue operation, Wu Jing made up his mind to create an outstanding film that shows the heroic and fearless image of Chinese soldiers.
Although Wu Jing was only a little-known actor at that time and had no influence in the entertainment industry, he still firmly started the preparation and filming of the movie "Wolf Warrior".
However, despite his firm determination to shoot and show the image of Chinese military heroes, the filming of "Wolf Warrior" was full of ups and downs, and as an unknown young actor, Wu Jing at that time could not get enough financial support from the industry, so he could only use all his savings and family property as the only bet into the film.
When Wu Jing decided to gamble and even put all his net worth and life into this adventure, his wife Xie Nan gave him endless support and encouragement.
"This film is a testament to your lifelong ideals, and if I stand in the way of your dreams, I am afraid that it will leave you with a heavy regret for the rest of your life to keep this money in the bank forever, which is really not a wise choice."
The words "I will raise you" deeply touched Wu Jing's heartstrings and rekindled his fighting spirit. In order to repay his wife's understanding and support, and in order to realize his deepest wish, Wu Jing made hard efforts beyond ordinary people's imagination during the entire process of filming "Wolf Warrior".
No matter how harsh the shooting environment or thrilling action scenes were, he never made a tired complaint, and went all out to show the heroic and high-spirited spirit of the Chinese soldiers.
After seven years of hard work, Wu Jing's first film "Wolf Warrior" was finally completed and officially released as scheduled. It was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival in 2015, but due to various reasons, it had to be postponed for a whole month.
The majority of fans have been waiting for it and finally enjoyed this high-profile masterpiece in the cinema.
As soon as it was released, "Wolf Warrior" received rave reviews, whether it was the original theme, the tense battle scenes, or the dazzling variety of weapons and equipment, all of which made people marvel.
In the hearts of countless audiences, the release of "Wolf Warrior" is undoubtedly a double feast for the eyes and soul. Since then, Wu Jing's name has gradually entered the public eye, and the spotlights around him have become more and more dazzling.
With the brilliant achievements of "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing has won high praise from the film industry, and has become another well-known action superstar in China after Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Following the great success of this work, Wu Jing has devoted himself to the preparation of "Wolf Warrior 2" without slackening, and this time, thanks to the fruitful results of the previous work, he no longer needs to run around looking for investment sponsorship, but many funders have visited him, hoping to share the joy of this success.
The investment in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached an eye-popping 150 million yuan! However, this menacing film finally created a box office myth of 5.68 billion yuan, which was unrivaled in the history of Chinese cinema at that time! This breathtaking achievement is tantamount to sending a sonorous warning to all those who have questioned Wu Jing, using strength to tell them who is the real winner!
Although Wu Jing has won numerous honors and accolades with the "Wolf Warrior" series of films, his road to success has not been as smooth as it seems.
His straightforward, unrelenting personality has made him controversial and questioned in the online world.
As a representative of an iron-clad tough guy, Wu Jing has repeatedly publicly expressed sharp criticisms of the character creation of some contemporary little fresh meat actors in public.
He bluntly expressed his opinion that the image of softness and weakness and delicate is undoubtedly eroding the hearts of young people, and the positive force should be a masculine, never-say-die and firm image.
As for the popular idol groups, such as EXO, Wu Jing unceremoniously pointed out that he couldn't even tell whether they were male or female.
This unrelenting criticism has caused an uproar on the Internet. Some people expressed support for Wu Jing's courage and outspokenness, praising him as a well-deserved iron man; However, there are also some people who maliciously attack his remarks, accusing him of belittling others in order to improve himself.
In the face of various comments from netizens, Wu Jing has always maintained a calm and calm attitude, never took the initiative to provoke disputes, and only argued with reason when answering questions from reporters.
However, it is precisely because of his insistence on this insistence and the principle of not taking sides that he has fallen into a more passive situation.
Some ill-intentioned people began to openly question whether he was using the theme of "patriotism" to make a lot of money, claiming that the patriotic rhetoric he was promoting was in fact only to promote his own film work, and that he was a "pseudo-patriot".
Although Mr. Wu remained silent about such abuse, the suspicion became stronger when a photo of him holding an iPhone went viral.
He was accused of paying lip service to patriotism while deviating from his promises.
Faced with such a passive situation, Mr. Wu Jing's virtuous helper, Ms. Xie Nan, finally couldn't bear it and decided to stand up and correct her husband's name! She not only posted the household registration book of the whole family on social platforms, but even publicly displayed the birth certificates of her children to prove their innocent Chinese nationality identity.
These conclusive and unequivocal evidence left those malicious rumor-mongers speechless, and Mr. Wu Jing quickly took tough measures to fight back, resolutely stating that he would protect his legitimate rights and interests through legal channels.
After all kinds of doubts and criticisms on the Internet, Mr. Wu Jing began to think deeply about his future career path. As an unswerving patriot, he has never changed his deep feelings for the motherland and the nation, and his dedication to film creation is not only for the pursuit of personal honor, but more importantly, he hopes to convey more positive values and positive energy to the audience with the help of unique artistic expression.
As a result, after experiencing the ups and downs of life and the warmth and coldness of human feelings, Mr. Wu Jing seemed to be reborn overnight, becoming more and more calm, mature and steady.
Since then, he has no longer expressed his inner feelings as openly as he did in the past, nor has he easily made judgments or accusations against others.
In order to gain a firm foothold in this highly competitive circle and avoid being at the mercy of capital forces and the impact of traffic stars, Mr. Wu Jing had to make "compromises" in some aspects, put on a layer of "camouflage" shell, and hide his true self deeply.
However, this "compromise" does not mean that he has to go with the flow and blindly follow the fashion trends in the entertainment industry. On the contrary, it is his thoughtful future career plan, and he is eager to get away from the hustle and bustle and devote himself to the cause he loves, to create unique artistic values, and to dedicate more wonderful works to a wide audience.
Today's entertainment industry is very different from decades ago, and the strength and hard work of the past are no longer the decisive factors, but replaced by the manipulation of capital power and the frenzy of traffic hype.
This phenomenon has led to the development of the entire industry becoming more and more "deformed", and the atmosphere has also deteriorated.
In today's entertainment industry, many new-generation artists who lack representative works and real talent are forcibly pushed to the forefront of public opinion by capital manipulators, so as to gain sufficient exposure.
Looking back at those senior actors who have steadily broken through the world with their excellent acting skills and strength, they have been frequently treated coldly or even banned, and the output of high-quality works has also been greatly reduced.
What's even more distressing is that those so-called "traffic stars" who are packaged by the squandering of money by capital often only rely on the platform to gain exposure, but their own quality and strength are lackluster.
However, they were able to reap the benefits of the fishermen and take the dividends that should have belonged to the truly excellent actors as their own, and this phenomenon of unworthy virtue not only failed to arouse their self-reflection and guilt, but made them have a misunderstanding, mistakenly believing that the height of the platform is equivalent to the strength of their personal strength.
Such an operation mode has a serious negative impact on the healthy development of the entertainment industry, which is exactly the "sad" status quo faced by the current entertainment industry.
As a representative of the image of an iron-clad, heroic and fearless tough guy, Wu Jing has to hide his edge in this environment and put on the coat of "camouflage" in order to protect himself, which is a true portrayal of the current predicament in the entertainment industry.
We eagerly hope that in the new year, outstanding actors like Wu Jing with both strength and quality can stick to their jobs, continue to pursue excellence, present more wonderful film and television masterpieces to the audience, and contribute to the revitalization of China's film industry.
