The sports world is very busy, athletes have to play every day, there are also fields to catch every day, and for the stars of the entertainment industry, it seems to be the same.

As early as 2015, Chen Kexin announced that he had obtained li na's authorization to shoot a big movie based on her, "The Biography of Li Na". However, in the past two years, this movie that has attracted much attention from the outside world has still not started, and it has also been speculated whether it has disappeared.

Starring from Tang Wei, who was initially selected by Na JieQin, to Zhao Wei, who was boiling over, until the selection of young amateur actors finalized by Wimbledon not long ago, director Chen's filming has always been with its own aura in the early stage of filming, and not long ago Lei Jiayin was exposed to play 100% of the roles in the play.
Previously, no sports star in the Chinese sports world had ever made an autobiographical film, and "Li Na's Biography" made up for the gap in the Chinese market for this type of sports-themed film.

WrestleMania! Daddy, I Am Marbury and Dear Basketball
Speaking of sports movies, last year's Indian inspirational film WrestleMania! "Daddy" won 1.295 billion in China, undoubtedly becoming a big box office winner, but the subsequent release of "I Am Marbury" failed miserably at the summer box office, which ultimately lies in the influence of multiple factors.
In the nomination list of the 90th Academy Awards at the beginning of this year, there was a sports film, and the animated short film "Dear Basketball" co-created by former Lakers star Kobe Bryant was nominated for the Best Animated Short Film of this year's Oscar, which also means that sports films can have their own place in the film and television circle, and more and more sports people enter the screen, perhaps for sports itself, it is a good thing.

If sports IP wants to stand firm in the film circle, it will take a long time.
Sports-themed films can not only be used as an important carrier of sports culture, but also promote the national fitness movement and promote the development of the sports industry. For the development of sports, the state also gives a high degree of support and encouragement. Take the "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team" directed by Chen Kexin to present the National Day next year, for example, the State General Administration of Sport held a symposium on the filming of "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team".

Zhao Yong, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports, pointed out that the creation of sports film and television works is an important measure to carry forward the spirit of sports, develop sports culture, and unite China's strength. The General Administration of Sport will provide a comprehensive guarantee for the creation of Chinese women's volleyball films, use the art of sports and the art of sports, tell sports stories well, create a spiritual temple of the people, make "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team" a monument in the history of sports films, and condense the powerful force of Chinese sons and daughters to realize the Chinese dream
In any case, it is always more difficult to tell a sports story well than to make a good movie, sports characters have such an inspirational life, how to explain to the audience the meaning of the film, sports movies will go a long way in the future.
