The weekend of January 12th can be called "Black Weekend", with more than ten new films entering mainland theaters to "fight", the most fierce of which is "Brave Game: Decisive Jungle", which should have grossed one billion yuan

The biggest attraction of this movie, of course, is the superstar Dwayne Johnson
What you see in the posters is directly highlighted by Johnson's name
Johnson also came to China for the premiere, which was simply too popular
For the Chinese market, you don't know how hard Uncle Johnson really worked, and he also participated in the recording of "Happy Base Camp" in Hawaii
Teacher He Jiong is simply a child in front of Uncle Johnson, one of the strongest men in the world
Uncle Johnson is also very busy, a few days ago the United States Golden Globe Awards, his daughter became the Ambassador of the Golden Globe Awards, he also accompanied his daughter to the ceremony, Father Love Max!
In the latest "Brave Game: Decisive Jungle", because the director is a comedy director, so this movie has also become a comedy + adventure + thriller + action drama, Johnson is of course the male number one, but this time his performance is still quite funny
And it's no longer an omnipotent hero, a bit like a huge weak chicken, finally awakened
Can also act comedy, but also action, this is not the previous Jackie Chan big brother set up?
In fact, as early as 2016, he starred in a hilarious action movie called "Oolong Agent", which was very good at the box office
But the film wasn't released in China, but that didn't stop Johnson from becoming the world's highest-grossing movie star in 2016, earning $64.5 million!
That year, he also voiced the huge Maui in Ocean's Adventures, a sweater that was simply designed with Johnson's own burly figure
The list of the world's highest-grossing movie stars in 2017 has also been released, Johnson ranked second, with a total box office of 1.5 billion US dollars, equivalent to two "Wolf Warrior 2", and the first place is the "Fast and Furious" gang's good friend Van Diesel
However, during the filming of "Fast and Furious 8", the two also had a conflict, Johnson called Van Diesel "girls" on online social media, but later it seems that the two also reconciled
After all, no one wants to live with money, right?
Three of Johnson's films were released in 2017
"Fast and Furious 8" grossed $1.2 billion, compared with 2.4 billion yuan in China, which is about $370 million, accounting for nearly a third of the world's total box office
Remake of the classic TV series "Beach Ranger", the box office is relatively miserable, the world just over 100 million, the United States only sold more than 50 million, is Johnson's appeal is not strong? No, it's that this remake sucks
Also I don't know if it's too cool, China has not introduced this film
This movie indirectly led to Hollywood teen actor Zach Efron not only becoming a box office poison, no one looked for him to shoot, he also went bankrupt, good luck
Well, let's take a look at how Uncle Johnson went from a world professional wrestling superstar to the world's top box office appeal superstar (this transformation, and the former governor of Schwarzenegger, who turned to a bodybuilding star, is quite similar to say)
Johnson was in the professional wrestling world and was originally a superstar who called the wind and rain
In 2000, the sequel to Universal Pictures' blockbuster blockbuster "The Mummy Returns", invited the 195cm tall giant Dawn Johnson to play the villain Scorpion King
The film was also released as an import blockbuster in China at the time, and in the poster below, Johnson is in the lower left of the male protagonist
Originally, this Scorpion King, the villain in "The Return of the Mummy", is a supporting role, where do you know that it is so popular that Universal simply started a new stove and specially made a "Scorpion King" for him, which was released the following year, that is, in 2002
"The Scorpion King" fully shows Johnson's super body shape, star charm, and even acting skills
The heroine is the beautiful actress Hu Kelly, who has Chinese ancestry
"The Scorpion King" sold more than 100 million at the box office around the world, and the income was good
Some fans also exclaimed that this 28-year-old strong actor is simply Schwarzenegger's successor
So Johnson began a career of acting while continuing his wrestling career
Johnson is also quite Chinese, although "The Scorpion King" was not released in China, but his second small-budget action adventure film "Jungle Soldier" was released in China, when the translation was still called Rock Johnson
Johnson really has the talent of an actor, and the action is quite powerful
In fact, when he started, it was all small-cost pure fight action movies, but the response was good
This 2004 film "Mighty Eight Squares" consolidated his status as a muscle action film actor, but it was still a little bit of a B-level action star
Doom (2005)
Southern Legends (2006), anyway, is a sudden surprise, Johnson plays a star
"Reinvigorate the Ball Style" (2006), Johnson was a rugby player when he was younger, so this rugby movie, looking for him to play the right one
So that the next year, another rugby movie came to him, that is, "Super Cup Daddy", which is still a comedy route, and also fully explores his talent for comedy performance
After Johnson's comedic talents were unlocked, a grunt of Hollywood comedy films came to the door, such as the 2008 "Confused Detective" by comedy stars Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway, and Johnson played a strong agent
In those years, due to Johnson's good father image, he did not act less in that kind of family film, such as this adventure theme of "The Adventures of Devil's Mountain"
In the cartoon "Planet 51", Johnson voiced the astronauts, and at first glance, he did it according to his image
"Tooth Fairy" is another family comedy
"Second-rate Detective", starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Farrell, two second-rate detectives, Johnson is a first-class detective, but he is a supporting role
"Quick Revenge", this kind of film is still quite repetitive of his own, but Johnson has begun to be no longer the kind of play ticket, he began to have acting skills, and there is his innate screen star charm, which is God's appreciation of food
At this time, in fact, Johnson is still only a slightly second-line action film actor, and he has not gone to the ranks of Hollywood's A-class big productions
But in 2011, he met Fast & Furious 5!
In "Super 5", Johnson is actually still three times, that is, the third leading actor, but he has undoubtedly upgraded this series of movies
Looking at the poster, you can see that Van Diesel is the first starring, Paul Walker is the second, and Johnson is the third
But Johnson's joining has greatly upgraded the box office of the "Fast and Furious" series, from more than $300 million in the world for the fourth part, to breaking through $500 million, suddenly becoming the most profitable series in Hollywood
Thus began Johnson's role as FBI Agent Luke
In 2012, Johnson single-handedly starred in "Adventures in the Center of the Earth 2: Mysterious Island", which sold more than $300 million at the global box office and nearly 400 million yuan in China
At this time, Johnson, who was just forty years old, was still fighting in the professional wrestling field, but it was more of a performance nature
In 2013's "The Informer", a father's sinister road to save his son, Johnson actually performed quite deeply
In 2013, a group of uncles (excluding Johnson, of course, but he is the main actor) starred in "Special Forces 2: Total Counterattack", the global box office can only be regarded as average, but in China it still broke 300 million
Also in 2013, Mark Wahlberg took Johnson and Ed Harris to make a movie "Give and Gain" in which fitness maniacs rob the bank for fitness, showing off their bodies. In this film, Johnson plays a very good role
The summer of 2013 was The Big Show, then Fast and Furious 6, which sold $700 million worldwide, and Johnson truly made him one of the highest-grossing stars on the planet
However, medium-cost action movies, he still continues to act, such as this "Empire"
However, it is a bit of a pity that Johnson's own solo starring "Son of Zeus: Hercules" is not too good at the box office
This time Johnson long hair performance, it is estimated that the audience will not buy it
Ah, I thought it was Xu Jinjiang who came to play a Hollywood movie
So, let's hurry back to "Fast and Furious", in 2015, "Super 7" won a terrible $1.5 billion box office in the world, ranking among the top three in film history, of which the Chinese box office contributed an indispensable contribution, contributing about 400 million box office, which is really powerful
At that time, "Super 7" was still in the afterglow of the release, Johnson alone carried the "Doomsday Collapse" global release, still box office is very rammed, the global box office got nearly 500 million US dollars, China's achievements are even more successful, contributing nearly 100 million box office
From this film, Johnson can finally say that I can carry a super box office movie myself
Uncle Johnson, who can't stay idle, also starred in an American drama "Golfers" in the cracks of so many top investment movies, playing the financial manager of a football team
2016's "Oolong Agent" also sold quite well, this is the Taiwanese version of the poster, this movie is a bit large, so it was not released in Chinese mainland
The next "Beach Ranger" and "Super 8" everyone knows, so there is this "Brave Game: Battle jungle" at the end of the year
This "Brave Game: Decisive Jungle" was released in North America for two weeks, and the box office exceeded expectations, breaking 200 million US dollars, and I believe that it should be possible for China to explode more than 1 billion
Because it is too high-grossing, Johnson is said to have more than ten film contracts, including sequels to "Doomsday Collapse" and "Adventures in the Center of the Earth", but the stone hammer is "Fury: Havoc of the Century", which will be released in April this year.
However, this painting style really looks like the rhythm of jungle monster fighting monsters and the sequel to "King Kong"
