After the release of "Super 9" in Chinese mainland, the box office soared, and the box office has approached 900 million yuan in the three days of release.
Among them, the appearance of Jacob, the new character added to the film: Jacob, the younger brother of Donald Boss (Van Diesel), leads the plot direction of the ninth part.
Jacob is played by 44-year-old John Senna, a muscular tough guy who is slightly taller than van Diesel, who is 182cm tall, 185cm tall, a strong muscle, and a cold face in the film.
Although Jacob is at odds with his brother Donald (Dom) in the movie and is an atypical villain, in fact, John Senna in life is a self-motivated and optimistic warm man who exudes positive energy at any time.
John Senna, himself a legendary man, is a wrestling star at WWE, winning three world heavyweight titles, three national championships, and fourteen WWE titles. With his popularity in the wrestling entertainment world, he crossed the sports entertainment world and was also an actor and singer.
Arguably, John Senna is the most successful wrestling star on the big screen after Dwayne Johnson.
Interestingly, the two men went from wrestling to their fellow filmmakers. Although the wrestling stage seems to be opposing, in fact, John Senna revealed that it is a performance, in fact, he is very grateful to Johnson, because "Dwayne Johnson helped me a lot".
In particular, many Chinese audiences feel that he is a chinese who likes Chinese culture very much and speaks well Chinese China. He also has a very joyful Chinese name: Zhao Xina.
Yes, that's right, the other side of the macho John Senna is the cute and funny, "big boy" Zhao Xina.
Since the beginning of "Fast and Furious 9", he has often used his Chinese on various occasions to communicate with Chinese fans on social platforms, and before the film was first released in North America in Chinese mainland, John Senna had to post videos of himself singing and promoting the film on his account almost every day.
Saying that it is singing, in fact, he is temporarily singing randomly, the content is nothing more than the movie is about to be released, everyone remembers to go to the cinema to see ah.
However, because of the repetition of the same content every day, coupled with his not particularly standard Chinese pronunciation, and the "lyrics" that cannot talk about grammar, it has accidentally become a brainwashed magic song, which makes many Chinese netizens laugh while watching his video, and they are really attracted to buy movie tickets.
John Senna's life is a history of inspirational struggle, he is not like Dwayne Johnson, has a strong family wrestling background, he dropped out of college, was very confused in his youth, did not know what he was doing, and happened to have a friend ask him if he would like to be a WWE professional wrestler, and he entered the industry.
But all this is not so easy to say, he once wanted to give up, but with his liking and enthusiasm, he still endured hardships and persevered.
Later, it was his success at WWE, and then he had the opportunity to act, the first film was "Marines", and later cameo in the American drama "Parks and Recreation", and also acted in "The Wreckage of Life" and so on.
What really made John Senna widely regarded as a movie star was the 2018 Transformers film Hornet, in which he played Agent Burns.
At that time, his Chinese began to be gradually seen by more Chinese film fans, and more and more Chinese audiences found that he was originally a foreigner who was very interested in Chinese culture.
Not only Chinese culture, John Senna is a lover of Chinese food, and his favorite Chinese food is very grounded - Lao Gan Ma. He has posted videos of himself eating many times, showing three of his favorite food pairings: steak, broccoli, and old.
He was addicted to eating old dry mother, and poured a spoon directly on top of the steak and broccoli, which was really admirable.
In 2019, Zhao Xina once released a video about his fate with China.
He said that almost ten years ago (2010), when he first came to China, he saw what he saw in front of him and did not believe that the big city, the very beautiful city, the very smart people, the very interesting culture, "so I told myself that I had to learn Chinese culture, learn from Chinese."
So, he began to learn Chinese, almost from 2012, 2013 began to Chinese, so now his Chinese level is still very OK, at least can easily accept Chinese interviews, whether it is the previous "Bumblebee", or this time "Super 9", he can directly answer questions Chinese, simply not too strong.
Van Diesel, one of the leaders of "Super 9", has always been optimistic about the Chinese market, and he has repeatedly expressed his love for China, after revealing that he asked for the film to be released in Chinese mainland first.
And "Super 9" this "substitution", the previous two muscle tough men Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham absent, but "smart" selected "China Pass" John Senna as a new role, playing his younger brother Jacob, can be described as closer to the Chinese audience and the Chinese market.
Selecting Zhao Xina to play "Super 9", I have to say that it is a wonderful move.
Today, John Senna is getting more and more popular.
He and Jackie Chan made the movie "Raging Sandstorm", in addition to joining the DC Cinematic Universe, participating in the film "X Contingent: Full Assemblage" directed by Rolling Director, and the independent spin-off series "Messenger of Peace" that belonged to his role.
The film era that belongs to Zhao Xina has just begun.
