Wu Jing recently released a new movie, but it seems that there have been no other particularly outstanding works since "Wolf Warrior".
Megalodon 2 was highly anticipated by netizens at the beginning, but according to the data, it was received coldly by the audience on the first day of release, with a score of only 56 points.
The box office performance of "Megalodon 2" was far inferior to "All or Nothing", and it was even surpassed by "Fengshen Part 1" later and became the target of public criticism.
Netizens' views on Wu Jing are not too positive, Wu Jing, who has long been regarded as a "wolf warrior" by the public, is now about to "collapse"?Could it be that he is just using patriotic feelings to gain traffic and personal gain?
Wu Jing became famous with the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", which itself achieved a very high box office and excellent reputation. As the starring role, Wu Jing naturally became the focus of attention, and the film directly set a box office record of 1 billion yuan, making Wu Jing the champion of the mainland box office.
Recently, however, he has begun to be boycotted by many people, who accuse him of not being a true patriot, but only using the name of patriotism to seek profits, only looking for business opportunities because of the success of a film. In addition, although he has made many films before, none of them have caused much repercussions.
It was not until the release of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" that he directed and starred in 2017 brought him to the public's attention for the first time. The film was a great success, and it is evident from the box office that it was enthusiastically loved by the audience.
Wu Jing has struggled in the entertainment industry for many years, and this movie has made him fame and fortune, and at the same time, he has also experienced the sweetness of filming patriotic themes, and has since embarked on an irreversible path.
As an artist, you should focus more on all-round development and challenge various different types of roles. Although Wu Jing's self-directed and starred film received a very good response, if he kept shooting movies with the same theme, the audience would inevitably feel aesthetic fatigue, so he needed to constantly accept new challenges.
Wu Jing has always been keen to create his own image of a "soldier", so he is regarded as a patriotic spokesperson, and many netizens have made this type of meme for him on the Internet.
After the release of this movie, Wu Jing's popularity increased significantly, he participated in many events of different scales, and his performance also became the object of ridicule from netizens, and everyone thought that Wu Jing was very humorous.
When Wu Jing first started, his popularity was not bad, but as time went by, people began to think that his actions were deliberate and to create a personal image, and some netizens even bluntly said that Wu Jing was a "conspicuous bag".
Many fans expressed their opinion that they used to have a good impression of Wu Jing, but now they have begun to lose their favor with him because he is too "enthusiastic" to use patriotic feelings to promote the movie and use it as a traffic password, and even feel very disgusted with this bottomless behavior.
This kind of behavior is really despicable, and what netizens say is true, since "Wolf Warrior 2", most of the movies that Wu Jing starred in are related to patriotism.
Patriotic movies are not unpopular, in fact everyone is very willing**. However, if every movie presents a similar plot and face, the audience will indeed be dissatisfied, after all, they have spent money and nothing new, so that anyone will be unhappy.
When Wu Jing's reputation suffered, some netizens who were disgusted with him dared to express their true thoughts, believing that Wu Jing's films, no matter what genre they starred in, were met with disastrous reviews. is not because of Wu Jing's acting skills, but because there are many unreasonable designs and many slots in the movie. However, even if there are so many problems in the movie, it does not prevent Wu Jing from making a lot of money.
As we all know, Wu Jing is currently very prosperous, so he gradually began to become conceited. In fact, people are always greedy, and once they have achieved what they are now, they will crave more and more. For him, as long as he tastes the sweetness, he will continue to pursue it.
Wu Jing did not start out as an actor, but began learning martial arts in childhood.
Wu Jing was born into a family of martial artists, probably influenced by his genes, and he showed extraordinary talent for martial arts from an early age. At the age of twelve, he had already won a martial arts tournament and stated at that time that his dream was to become a martial arts master.
However, fate always plays tricks on people, and dreams are often not easy. In the process of practicing martial arts, Wu Jing encountered an accident that forced him to abandon his plan to learn martial arts.
Later, as long as Wu Jing could make money, he was willing to do any dirty work. He worked as a waiter in Beijing and even tried his hand at the barbecue business. It was in the days of running for a livelihood that he deeply realized the importance of making money.
At the age of 21, Wu Jing enrolled in a martial arts school. At the time, a director was looking for the right actor to play his film role, but never found a satisfactory candidate.
It wasn't until I was eating in the cafeteria that I happened to see Wu Jing, and my eyes lit up, so I asked him if he would like to join my crew as an actor. At that time, Wu Jing was also in a very ignorant state.
This director is not an ordinary director, he is director Zhang Xinyan who is filming "Shaolin Temple"!
Jet Li became famous in one fell swoop by starring in "Shaolin Temple" directed by Zhang Xinyan, making "Zhang Xinyan" a well-known name. How many people in the film industry are eager to show their faces in the movies directed by Zhang Xinyan, but they didn't expect Zhang Xinyan to choose him.
Wu Jing agreed without hesitation, and with a feeling of surprise, he immediately followed the director into the group and filmed "Kung Fu Kid Breaking Love". It was this film that opened Wu Jing's path to work as an actor.
Subsequently, Wu Jing gradually began to receive more films, TV series and even advertising cooperation, but these works did not cause much sensation, and people generally believed that he "played well, but his acting skills were limited".
When he was young, Wu Jing even retained some baby faces, which led to many restrictions on his acting career. In desperation, he could only take on some inconsequential roles. However, he knew in his heart that he had to find opportunities for transformation.
In 2010, special forces-themed movies suddenly became a hot topic in the film and television industry, and Wu Jing had been working hard in the entertainment industry for many years at that time, and he also observed this trend and began to repeatedly think about whether he could follow this path.
He began to reflect on himself. First of all, he has a kung fu foundation and can play a role in TV series with this genre, which has obvious advantages. Secondly, he began to think about a question: why are the protagonists of many heroic movies often foreigners?
He believes that the Chinese are also capable of saving the world!We can make a big-budget movie like that!
The image of Chinese soldiers with fortitude can be transmitted through screens, and it is well recognized by audiences across the country and even around the world.
So Wu Jing began to work hard towards his goal, and thus formed the original intention of the creation of the movie "Wolf Warrior".
As it turned out, Wu Jing's vision was realized, and China's image of a resilient military man was successfully displayed on the global stage.
Since Wu Jing began to get involved in the field of TV dramas, his acting skills have been controversial, and it is generally believed that his performance level is not outstanding, and he can only show his edge in fight scenes.
This problem existed as early as when he first entered the entertainment industry, but after many years, Wu Jing's acting skills still haven't improved, which shows that he has not worked hard to improve his acting skills during this time, so he has been widely criticized.
Some netizens even stood up and said: "Wu Jing is not Chinese!."He holds a Hong Kong passport, and his wife, Xie Nan, is also a U.S. passport holder, and Wu Jing is just defrauding the Chinese people of money in the name of patriotism."
In the end, Xie Nan posted Wu Jing's passport and barely calmed down the noise.
Some netizens' doubts are actually quite ridiculous, what is Hong Kong?After all, Hong Kong itself is part of our motherland!Can't you be considered Chinese?
The netizens who made these remarks don't know if they are just black for the sake of black, regardless of the facts.
Although the incident was eventually put to rest, Wu Jing was still embroiled in many other controversies. For example, in another event, Wu Jing responded to some ** and said directly: "Cheap is not cheap." ”
In addition to verbal expression, another thing is that after the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", he successfully established the image he loved. However, in July last year, he posted a message of prayer on the Internet, but netizens directly questioned: With such a high box office, how much money are you going to donate to the disaster area?
As these words were spoken, many others echoed them.
However, some netizens who support Wu Jing believe that these people are the so-called "hatred of the rich" mentality, thinking that this is actually a moral kidnapping, should they donate just because the box office is high?
There are many people who believe that in order to become a patriotic actor, you must not just stay in the fictional world of the movie, but should show more love for the country in real life.
Wu Jing chose to remain silent, and did not respond to those voices.
After Wu Jing became popular at the beginning, he was very popular, and everyone's evaluation of the actor was also very positive. However, over-marketing one's image can be offensive.
I believe that Wu Jing still has a lot of room for improvement in his acting skills, and if he can carefully choose the script and work hard to hone his acting skills, then he will definitely create more valuable works and return to the top!
