Why did this former "box office harvester" suddenly become a mute?
Wu Jing's latest masterpiece "Megalodon 2" was dismal at the box office, and the score fell directly below the passing line, and netizens shouted: "Wu Jing, what's wrong with you?" "
You must know that this is the man who once created a box office myth of 8.8 billion with "Wolf Warrior 2"!
From a "kung fu kid" from a martial arts family, to a "star" across the Hong Kong film era, and then to today's "national director", what ups and downs has Wu Jing's "identity evolution" experienced?
Let's listen to me and see how this "tough guy" used his iron fist and talent to rewrite his destiny step by step.
After listening to Wu Jing's legendary experience, you may wonder why this tough guy fell into trouble?
Let's turn the time machine to the summer of 2024, which is the "golden time" of the film industry!
At this time in previous years, Wu Jing's works could always kill all sides on the box office list, which can be called a "box office harvester".
But who would have expected that the "Megalodon 2" he brought this time seemed to have met a nemesis, and the box office results were miserable.
1 billion? Don't be kidding, I didn't even touch the passing line, which surprised many fans.
You know, this is known as "Chinese's own monster movie", but it turned out to be "underwater floating", which is really laughable.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that the score of this movie is simply free falling, plummeting from 6.1 points to 5.5 points, which is simply from "okay" to "fail".
Nearly half of the audience gave a 3-star negative review, which is really "shark" without energy.
I bet Wu Jing never dreamed of such a day, right?
The complaints of netizens are even more unbearable.
Someone said: "I thought I could see Wu Jing and Jason · Statham staging a 'tough guy battle' in the deep sea, but I saw two big men splashing a few times in the water, is this playing in the water or making a movie?" "
Some people also complained about the plot: "Was this script written by elementary school students?" The villain's IQ looks like he was eaten by a shark. "
The funniest thing is that some netizens joked: "Is this shark losing too much weight?" Looks more docile than the clownfish in "Finding Nemo". "
I want to laugh after listening to it, this shark is afraid that he didn't graduate from a vegetarian school, right?
Some people even said: "The special effects of this movie, I'm afraid that even my goldfish can hit ten." "I'm embarrassed for Wu Jing when I say this.
Faced with such a situation, Wu Jing himself was very silent, as if he was waiting for the turmoil to subside by itself.
But the singing and declining voices on the Internet have no intention of subsiding.
Some people say that he is "Jiang Lang's talent", and some people think that his "patriotic card" is no longer useful.
To be honest, when I read these comments, I also have mixed feelings in my heart.
You must know that this is the man who single-handedly sent "Wolf Warrior 2" to the 8.8 billion box office throne!
From "Kung Fu Kid" to "National Director", Wu Jing's every step has been stepped on thorns.
Could it really be that Jiang Lang is exhausted? I don't think so.
Perhaps this was just a minor setback in his career.
After all, who hasn't had a miss?
But if Wu Jing wants to win the hearts of the audience again, I'm afraid he will have to think about it.
Maybe it's time to let go of the "tough guy" baggage and try out some new characters and stories?
But then again, Wu Jing was able to get to where he is today, not just by temporary luck.
Let's rewind the clock and see how this "tough guy" climbed step by step to get to where he is today.
Speaking of Wu Jing's growth experience, it is simply a realistic version of "Kung Fu Boy's Counterattack".
The title of this "tough guy" is not in vain, but he is from a serious Beijing martial arts family.
If you think that he was born to play well on the big screen now, you are very wrong.
When he was a child, Wu Jing was not less trained by the "martial arts masters" at home.
It is said that his grandfather and father were both martial arts masters, and they trained him as a "successor" since he was a child.
Do you think martial arts training is cool? Stop dreaming! It was early in the morning and greedy for darkness, and in the winter, I had to practice against the cold wind.
I bet that Xiao Wujing must have been beaten a lot, after all, "if you don't fight, you can't make a weapon".
However, this hardship was not in vain, Wu Jing had already won many championship titles in national martial arts, boxing, spearmanship and other competitions before the age of 20.
This is simply a life that has been opened, making people envious, jealous and hateful.
But fate, a naughty ghost, just made a big joke with Wu Jing.
Just as he was preparing to make his mark in the martial arts world, an unexpected injury forced him to consider changing careers.
This can make Wu Jing worried, after practicing martial arts for so many years, is it going to be wasted?
That's when your chance came! A director chose a role at a martial arts school and fell in love with this handsome and stunty young man at a glance.
I guess the director must have muttered in his heart: "This young man is handsome, and his martial arts are so good, it's just tailor-made for my movie!" "
In this way, Wu Jing embarked on the road of acting, and his first work "Kung Fu Boy Breaking Love" gave him a taste of being a star.
I estimated that Wu Jing at that time must have been beautiful, and thought: "This acting is much easier than boxing, and you can also make a lot of money by becoming famous." "
Since then, Wu Jing has begun to emerge in the film and television industry.
"Tai Chi Grandmaster", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Desperate Mandarin Duck", one after another works have made him a "costume student" in the minds of the audience.
But Wu Jing is not the kind of master who is content with the status quo.
In order to pursue higher development, he resolutely embarked on the road to Hong Kong for development.
This is a terrible trip, it can be said that it fell directly from "heaven" to "hell".
Who knew that the Hong Kong film industry was at a low point, and Wu Jing, the "northern boy", couldn't find a suitable role for a while.
I guess Wu Jing at that time must have regretted it and slapped his thigh: "I knew I wouldn't have come to Hong Kong, isn't this asking for trouble?" "
But don't forget that he has been in adversity since he was a child.
With his excellent martial arts skills and the strength to not admit defeat, Wu Jing finally gained a firm foothold in Hong Kong.
Works such as "Slaying the Wolf" and "The True Colors of Men" not only made him stand out in the field of action movies, but also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination for "The True Colors of Men".
This is simply from a "rookie" to a "big guy", I give full marks to Wu Jing's operation!
Seeing this, do you think Wu Jing's story is inspirational enough?
Don't worry, the show has just begun! The wonderful life of this "tough guy" is far from over.
Okay, let's continue to talk about Wu Jing's legendary life.
In the days of hard work in Hong Kong, Wu Jing was not idle.
A bold thought popped into his head: "Why can't I make my own movie?" "
Oops, as soon as this idea came out, Wu Jing was like being beaten with chicken blood, full of energy.
In 2008, Wu Jing launched his directorial debut "Wolf Teeth".
To be honest, although this movie didn't blow up, it wasn't too bad.
It's like cooking for the first time, it's good to be able to eat, how can you expect it to be Michelin level?
However, this movie ignited Wu Jing's inner dream of directing.
You see, this kid is not ambitious, and he wants to be a director if he is not an actor who is not enjoyable enough.
In the following days, Wu Jing was not idle while acting and pondering the craft of directing.
In 2013, he wrote, directed and acted in "The Wolf Warrior of Special Forces" was released.
Although this film did not make much splash, it laid the groundwork for his later success.
You see, this is Wu Jing's strength, obviously not qualified but has begun to pave the way for the future.
In 2015, Wu Jing returned with "Wolf Warrior".
Wow, this movie caused a sensation as soon as it was released, it was simply a "king bomb"!
Not only was it a box office hit, but it also made Wu Jing appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Do you know that being able to go to the Spring Festival Gala is something that many celebrities dream of!
From this time on, Wu Jing's fame can be said to have risen in a straight line, and it is like a rocket.
But this kid Wu Jing is not the kind of master who is easy to satisfy.
In 2017, he launched "Wolf Warrior 2".
Brothers and sisters, this movie can be said to have completely changed the trajectory of Wu Jing's life.
The box office record of 5.68 billion directly sent Wu Jing to the throne of "box office responsibility".
This is simply an open life, from a martial arts star to a box office champion, I give full marks to Wu Jing's operation!
Immediately after the success of a series of works such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Changjin Yan", Wu Jing completely sat on the throne of "national director".
The tough and iron-blooded heroes he created on the screen are even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
You see, from an action actor who fights and kills to a director who can control the overall situation, Wu Jing's transformation is simply textbook-level.
However, success is often accompanied by doubts and controversies.
Some people say that Wu Jing can only fight and kill, and his acting skills are worrying.
Others say that he always plays the role of a patriotic hero and is "eating patriotic meals".
In the face of these doubts, Wu Jing is not the kind of silent master.
At an event, he directly scolded back: "Some people have a deep sense of inferiority in their hearts, and they can't bear the success of others, this mentality is really too humble!" "
Wow, as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
I have to say that Wu Jing's mouth is also powerful enough, and he made those sour people speechless with one sentence.
However, Wu Jing did not stop because of these controversies.
He is still experimenting with new characters and genres, and Megalodon 2 is an example of this.
Although this attempt was not successful, who can guarantee that the next one will not be a surprise?
You see, from a martial arts star to a director, Wu Jing's journey can be described as ups and downs.
But no matter what difficulties he encounters, he can rise to the occasion, and this spirit is really admirable.
Okay, we've talked so much about Wu Jing's past, now let's talk about his future.
From a martial arts student to today's "national director", Wu Jing's journey has been really ups and downs.
This guy tells us with practical actions: how can success be so easy, you have to take one step at a time.
To be honest, seeing "Megalodon 2" hit the streets, I felt quite uncomfortable.
But when I think about it, this "tough guy" is the master who has experienced countless setbacks and doubts.
From the Beijing Martial Arts Hall to the Hong Kong film industry, and then to today's domestic blockbusters, which step is not overcoming obstacles?
I think that Wu Jing may be in a period of transition now.
You see, from a simple action movie to a more complex drama film, this is not an overnight thing.
It takes time and courage to go from a pure "tough guy" image to a more three-dimensional character.
Maybe Wu Jing will be able to give us a big surprise in the next work?
I'm looking forward to seeing a more comprehensive Wu Jing.
An all-round filmmaker who can not only play but also act and direct, isn't this what the audience wants to see?
Perhaps in the near future, we will see a work with both action scenes and deep emotions born from Wu Jing's hands.
Think about it, if Wu Jing can make a movie that is both burning and tear-jerking, it will be amazing!
But then again, no matter what the future holds, Wu Jing has proved one thing with his own efforts:
As long as we keep moving forward, there is no hurdle that cannot be crossed.
From "Kung Fu Kid" to "Director Wu", Wu Jing used his life to interpret what it means to be a "tough guy and tender".
To be honest, seeing Wu Jing constantly challenging himself like this, I was a little touched by his spirit.
Isn't this the spirit that each of us should learn from?
Don't be discouraged when you encounter setbacks, don't flinch in the face of doubts, and always maintain an upward attitude.
I think this is the most valuable inspiration that Wu Jing has given us.
Let's wait and see what other surprises this "tough guy" director can bring us!
I bet Wu Jing's story is far from over, and his wonderful life has just begun!
