A few days ago, at Jackie Chan International Action Movie Week, Wu Jing was envied (jealous and hated) by Jackie Chan and has become a joke.
"It took me decades to raise more than 20 billion at the box office, hey, he's 20 billion in four plays!"
But Jackie Chan, is the big brother, or the big brother.
Wu Jing can only be a little brother in front of Jackie Chan, and it may be forever. Although, now Wu Jing's films are more than Jackie Chan's box office.
That Shen Teng's movie box office is more than Wu Jing's, but, Shen Teng, is that still called a movie?
Haha, speaking of which, it's all laughter. Of course, some people say that it is a joke.
Wu Jing is a wonderful actor in everyone's impression, which must have been seen by all, there is no doubt. But Wu Jing's side as a director, I don't know if everyone understands?
So far, Wu Jing has only made 4 films, one of which is a documentary.
Today, we will talk about Wu Jing's first movie, Virgo "Wolf's Tooth".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >, the wolf's tooth story is radical</h1>
The movie "Wolf's Tooth" tells the story of Ma Ye, the boss of a Hong Kong gangster group, who came to the temple of the outlying island to escape the international police wanted.
Originally life was peaceful, nothing happened. However, when a typhoon was about to come, a bizarre headless murder occurred in the temple of the outlying island.
As a result, the guy who let Ma Ye eat disappeared with the typhoon.
The mysterious woman behind Ma Ye's scenes (played by Hui Yinghong) could not swallow this breath, so she sent her subordinates to start plotting revenge.
In fact, the person who took away Ma Ye's head was also for revenge. His name is Abu (played by Wu Jing), and after a successful revenge, he is forced to stay on the outlying islands of Hong Kong after a storm.
However, by chance, he assisted Xiaohe, a police officer on the outlying island, to catch 3 wanted criminals. This makes Xiaohe (played by Lu Jingshan) grateful and has a love for him, and wants to make a promise to him.
As a result, it attracted the jealousy of Xiaohe's colleague Taishan, and he was embarrassed by Abu everywhere, and many jokes couldn't help but happen.
Ma Ye's disappearance and the death of the island eventually attracted the attention of the international policeman Yu SIR, and in order to pursue the mysterious murderer, black and white gathered all over the island.
The typhoon suddenly rises, and the gangster killers, international policemen, and Abu who are trapped on the outlying islands begin a desperate escape that you chase after me.
The mysterious woman behind Ma Ye kidnapped Xiao He in order to lure out the wolf. In order to save Xiaohe, Abu fought with his bare hands against a hundred (note that it was really 1 person who hit 100 people).
Saved his lover with his own life...
How, isn't this story exciting? Isn't that radical?
There's murder, there's revenge, there's love, there's love triangle, there's mysterious women, Interpol, gangster infighting, outlaws...
The screenwriter who made up this story is called, not simple, his name is Feng Zhiqiang, a Hong Konger, and his date of birth is unknown.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" > second, the screenwriter is very good, because his name is Feng Zhiqiang</h1>
People who have watched movies all know that a good movie must first have a good story.
Wu Jing is not stupid, and naturally values this rule. Therefore, the first film he directed invited the famous Hong Kong screenwriter Feng Zhiqiang.
Feng Zhiqiang
Tv series "Man in the Net", "Genesis", the movie "Thief Nature" and "Ancient Puzzle Paradise" are all screenwriters of Feng Zhiqiang.
If the above films are not famous enough, then the following movie, you will definitely suddenly realize.
In 2001, the kung fu movie "Shaolin Football" starring Stephen Chow and Zhao Wei was released and became popular throughout Hong Kong. The screenwriter is Feng Zhiqiang.
Also in 2008, Feng Zhiqiang not only wrote a screenplay for Wu Jing's "Wolf's Tooth", but also for Stephen Chow's film "Yangtze River No. 7".
At this point, you know how powerful this Feng Zhiqiang is.
The screenwriter used by Stephen Chow, that is not a joke. Stephen Chow's films, each one is good, why, first of all, because there is a good story.
Then, the plot is properly arranged, gripping, funny, comfortable and enjoyable, and enjoyable, so it is natural to buy tickets.
Later, in 2016, the 8th year after wu Jing finished writing "Wolf's Tooth", Feng Zhiqiang also served as the screenwriter of Stephen Chow's romantic comedy film "Mermaid".
Therefore, in 2008, Wu Jing was able to ask Feng Zhiqiang to be the screenwriter of his first film director, which was really not simple.
Of course, this also shows that Wu Jing attaches great importance to screenwriters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" > third, the director is a small white</h1>
In 2008, Wu Jing was 34 years old, how did he think of being a director?
It is said that because of his career as an actor, it seems to have reached a dead end in this year. Acting what is not good, acting for more than ten years, the biggest performance award, only in the previous year to get -
A Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination, for participating in the movie "The True Colors of Boys", a villain who will stop at nothing to survive "Heavenly Health".
This is the only award that Wu Jing has won in his more than ten years of acting career.
Needless to say, he didn't win an award, that is, he won an award, and Wu Jing also felt that it was just a supporting role award, and what he really wanted was the actor award, to be a movie emperor.
At that time, he ran to Hong Kong alone, thinking that he had a real skill, hoping to become the second Jet Li. But I didn't think about it, and I always gave people green leaves for more than ten years.
In the end, I couldn't even win the "Green Leaf Award" (supporting role).
Perhaps, only by writing and directing a play and being the protagonist himself is the only way for him to get out of the "predicament".
At this time, just dozed off to give a pillow, some investors are optimistic about him, gave 3 million start-up capital. Therefore, adhering to his previous performance of "I Am a Special Soldier", he stepped forward to "Wolf's Tooth".
However, during the "Wolf's Tooth", Wu Jing could not edit it himself, so he found Feng Zhiqiang, the royal editor of Zhou Xingchi. But self-directing and self-acting, it is done.
And it is very painful to do, and to be a hundred is a very enjoyable play.
After "Wolf's Teeth", it was "Wolf Warrior", and then after that, it was "Wolf Warrior 2", and finally, he played the special forces alive, and the tough guy temperament on his body, plus -
The innate military temperament, combined with the two, is natural and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Because the money is not much at all, it may not be enough, in order to save costs, Wu Jing invited friends in the circle, or the same as him, or even more unknown than him three lines and four lines -
and eighteen small actors.
For example, the most important heroine Lu Jingshan.
However, before talking about a few leading actors, let's talk about the director.
Wu Jing himself knows that in terms of directing, he is a small white, so he asked a famous assistant director to help him check the pass.
This shows that Wu Jing is still very reliable in doing things, unlike Wang Baoqiang, who only wants to be a director to be happy, and when he first filmed "Big Trouble Tianzhu", he did not ask an assistant director to help himself.
As a result, the film was made in a vacuum, and finally won a golden broom award.
The famous director invited by Wu Jing is Li Zhongzhi, 11 years older than Wu Jing, a member of the family class, a famous action director in Hong Kong, and a winner of the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Design.
In the Hong Kong film industry, he is known as the proud protégé of Jackie Chan's big brother.
He and Hong Kong's talented director Chen Mushenghe have made many hot and popular blockbuster movies such as "New Police Story", "Baby Plan" and "Boy's True Colors".
He and Wu Jing formed a deep friendship in "The True Colors of Boys".
Of course, Jackie Chan also helped.
As a result, he became the assistant director of Wu Jing's "Wolf's Tooth". And on the spot to teach Wu Jing how to shoot martial arts actions better.
Later, in 2016, Wu Jing filmed "Wolf Warrior", he continued to participate, and won the Best Action Film Director Award at the 20th Huading Awards.
Li Zhizhong
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" >4, the actors of "Wolf's Teeth", all of them are not named</h1>
The first person who was not famous was Xiao BaiLu Jingshan, an actor who was only 23 years old at the time.
Lu Jingshan is a Hong Kong girl, but she is a mixed-race Child of Chinese and American descent. His father was an American action actor who also collaborated with Jackie Chan in the kung fu film Serpentine Executioner.
She and her sister were managed by their father from an early age and learned martial arts.
It is very easy to talk with Wu Jing, participating in "Wolf's Tooth" is Lu Jingshan's first work, and she also officially debuted because of this.
In "Wolf's Teeth", Lu Jingshan plays a military-clad policewoman stationed on an outlying island in Hong Kong, Xiaohe.
Optimistic and stubborn, with the blood and recklessness of a newborn calf, she inadvertently releases Abu's hidden sense of justice while also getting a chance to grow.
Although it is the first time to act, the acting skills are also remarkable.
Fortunately, there is an experienced Wu Jing who teaches by hand, or get started quickly. And she grew up abroad, handling interpersonal relationships, but also generous and luxurious.
Therefore, it is very fast to enter the play, and it is also open-minded.
In the end, the director and the executive producer praised her for acting well. Perhaps this is also her 10 years later, she was favored by Wu Jing and entered "Wolf Warrior 2" to become the heroine.
Wu Jing, Lu Jingshan
Truly experienced what it means to be famous overnight.
Unfortunately, such a good girl is married to Han Geng, and she has not had any good works born since "Wolf Warrior 2".
Of course, before she starred in "Wolf Warrior 2", she did not have any influential works except "Wolf's Teeth".
It's just very beautiful, after all, It's of mixed Chinese and American descent, born beautiful embryos.
Well, the acting skills are really comparable to Yang Ying, another beautiful actress in Hong Kong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="101" ends ></h1>
In this way, in the summer of 208, the famous actor Wu Jing, with the help of Jackie Chan's big brother, had a famous screenwriter write a story, and a famous martial artist made up actions.
Then, in Wu Jing's profound martial arts, a gentle and romantic love main line was added, and the bloody rain and wind were full of small sweetness, small happiness, tragic and touching.
Successfully launched Wu Jing's Virgo "Wolf's Tooth", although the box office was average.
But this storytelling routine was later used until Wu Jing's second film "Wolf Warrior" and the third film "Wolf Warrior 2".
And finally succeeded, but also finally touched the audience, so that everyone who watches Wu Jing's movies, all excited (for martial arts action), all heartbeat (for sweet love).
Perhaps this is the reason why Wu Jing's films are still the highest-grossing films in China.
