China people see jokes.

The Wandering Earth and "Jason Wu" were once again popular, with a box office of 2.964 billion after being released for ten days, which was the biggest winner in the New Year's Eve.

"comparable to Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters" and "opening the first year of China sci-fi movies". Various film reviews have exploded the circle of friends with praise. However, what most people can see is the current deflagration and fiery, as well as the long lingering and persistence that they could not see before. In this persistent "wandering" life, Wu Jingren strives to make himself more and more scarce.

Scarcity is an objective existence, and scarcity is the subjective judgment of the whole society.

In this life, people should make themselves scarce even if they try hard.

Jason Wu chose a wandering road, through which his mentality and values became scarce in society.

Jason Wu was born in a martial arts family. He entered a sports school at the age of six. In the same year, his nose was broken, his head was stitched at the age of 8, and his arm was broken at the age of 9.

14 years old, had an accident during training and fell to his spine, resulting in paralysis of his lower body. But he turns over with his hands every day, exercises his whole body and walks out of the rehabilitation stage with his hands. After the first step, the doctor encouraged him to take another step. The second step, with severe pain, took Jason Wu half an hour to walk.

With a hint of possibility, Jason Wu chose to fight to the end.

From a little intuition to a full recovery, this is a few months of persistence.

Ordinary families, ordinary children encounter this kind of thing once, and basically say they don't practice. You can persist, of course, with the encouragement and requirements of your parents, but your tenacity is the key.

After recovery, he chose to go back to school to continue training.

17 years old, participated in the national Wushu competition, and won the championship in gun and sparring. It took him three years to go from paralysis to champion.

This is a miracle.

This experience broke all Jason Wu's sense of superiority and pride.

After graduation, Jason Wu began to dream of becoming a businessman, so he opened a clothing store and made some money, but he became more and more confused.

After a period of no direction, Jason Wu chose to become an actor.

Was recommended to shoot Kung Fu Boy in Love. Since then, Jason Wu has become a minor celebrity in Chinese mainland, but his career has never developed by leaps and bounds.

Hoping that he could break through and create his own action era, Jason Wu chose to change a better environment and start from scratch.

In 2003, Jason Wu went to Hong Kong film circle to look for opportunities, because there was the most developed film market and the most professional filmmakers in China at that time, including Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, all martial arts stars who became famous in Hong Kong films, as well as directors of classic action films such as Ye Weixin and Yuan Heping.

From 2003 to 2008, he appeared in several Hong Kong films. In "Kill the Wolf", in the duet "Pursuit of Truth" with Donnie Yen, several sticks were broken, and Jason Wu's wrist was hit by a stick and he couldn't lift it. In 2007, "Men's True Color", the cruciate ligament was torn in the fight. This happens all the time. In those years in Hong Kong, he was like a wandering child, slowly pondering his own way.

With this persistence and persistence, Jason Wu made every step down-to-earth, but he didn't get enough achievements and respect, and didn't find his own unique action era except being nominated for the best supporting actor in the Golden Horse Award. Not satisfied with the status quo, Jason Wu began to think about what kind of era he wanted.

It can be seen from his later development that what he wanted to understand at that time was that he was no longer just obsessed with martial arts, but what he wanted to express in the film, so he chose to go back to the mainland as a director.

Round and round, he returned to the mainland. At this time, his mood is different. Jason Wu thinks that there are online and offline tough guys such as Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone in foreign movies, but why is there no such kind of man in China? Why are most of our actors the image of playboy?

Therefore, Jason Wu will make a film to show the masculinity, responsibility and responsibility of China people. What kind of person is most suitable for this setting? He chose a soldier.

To play a soldier, you must be really qualified for this role, which is Jason Wu's actor creed.

Jason Wu chose to go to special forces for training 18 months. As a real soldier, he lived and trained with the troops. There, he felt bullets whizzing past his ears and heard the roar of tanks passing by. He learned various military skills such as fighting, diving, skydiving, shooting and military swimming, set a diving record of 33 meters, and obtained an international three-star diver certificate.

In this way, after six years of preparation, I even mortgaged my property, so that I could get enough money to complete the filming of Wolf Warriors I, a film that cost 27 million yuan. After its release, the box office reached an astonishing 546 million yuan. Song Ge, who was educated in Beijing, didn't believe that this movie would have such a high box office after watching it. However, the audience recognized Jason Wu's homesickness and striving for perfection. Every prop and every movement were personally checked, which made him feel more real.

When Wolf Warriors 2 was released, it won 5.6 billion box office in one fell swoop, and Jason Wu was proved to be on the right track.

Some people say that he is selling "national spirit drinks" under the banner of patriotism. Perhaps these people have neglected that the reason why enhancing national strength and national pride can arouse the mood of the national audience is because China has been suppressed for too long and the people have been suppressed for too long. Everyone needs a kind of spiritual catharsis and guidance.

Only by properly expressing the inner feelings of the public can a consensus be formed, and Jason Wu just made himself and his films scarce to guide this consensus, so he did it.

Imagine that almost every star or director wants to achieve this result. Therefore, just because Jason Wu has done it, we should not deliberately belittle it. In that case, we will really become the "embarrassed China people" described by Lu Xun.

Everything has two sides, not just right and wrong. In those days, Jason Wu can go to Hollywood with director Yuan Heping, and he will be respected by Hollywood actors, first body double, then the martial arts coach, and then the actor. Some colleagues did do this, but Jason Wu didn't. If he chooses, he will go back to the mainland to be a director. There is more possibility here, but it also means starting from scratch. This is Jason Wu's understanding of choice.

What kind of values determine which direction people choose.

Big-name actors feel that now is not the time to shoot science fiction films and are unwilling to participate;

Special realistic props, scenes and top-level special effects shots make the funds consume quickly;

Director Frant Gwo broke the net worth;

Producer Gong Geer sold his car;

Photography directors spend money to buy equipment and rent it to the crew;

Actor's pay cut;

Wanda Pictures, the main investor, decided to divest.

This is what the wandering earth faced before it came into contact with Jason Wu.

Many critics think that Jason Wu is a new star in the investment field. From "Wolf Warriors I" to The Wandering Earth, it is an operation with high return on investment.

Capital is profit-seeking. No one dares to put real money into a blank China film market at this time.

Frant Gwo and Gong Geer created a self-consistent world view for The Wandering Earth;

Different from European and American sci-fi blockbusters, it integrates the values of China's traditional concepts;

There is a complete chronicle of 100 years;

More than 3,000 concept maps;

More than 8 thousand photos ...

When listening to Guo Fan's four-year creative process, Jason Wu felt that the persistence and desire in this man's eyes were very similar to his own devotion to filming "Wolf Warriors I".

So there was a guest performance with zero pay, and I paid 60 million directly to complete the filming, and I also changed from an actor to a producer and investor.

As a result, The Wandering Earth opened the first year of science fiction movies in China with a landmark gesture.

At first, Jason Wu made a simple but not easy request to Frant Gwo.

Why, because such people are too scarce, not only in the film industry, but also in all walks of life.

The essence is that people who dare to start and persist are scarce, and this phenomenon will exist forever.

Whether it is a character or a movie, if we laugh it off after watching it, we will always go back and forth in the process of watching and commenting.

So the key is whether we can get inspiration from them and let us grow and even succeed.

First, keep thinking.

There must be an idea in my heart that I want to be different, to be useful to others, or to produce something useful to others.

Thinking is the first step, and the only solution and optimization scheme for anything exists in long-term thinking and pondering.

Second, do it.

Once you start doing it, you will find all kinds of problems. You should learn the relevant knowledge and make it up at once. If there is a problem, solve it, and if there is no problem, proceed. Keep doing it, and you will naturally become more and more familiar and better.

Third, key skills outside of work.

If you have a stable job, these three points can be used to assist training. If there is no stable job, these three points can be polished with two years of dedicated training. As long as you start now, it will never be too late. Year after year, it sounds long, but it's really fast.

These three points are writing, investment and training, skills that are always scarce.

Writing, taking WeChat official account as an example. By the end of 20 17, the official account number of WeChat exceeded100000, including 3.5 million active accounts, an increase of 14% compared with 20 16, and the number of monthly active fans was 797 million, an increase of 19%.

China has a population of 654.38+04 billion. The current illiteracy rate is about 5%. Excluding semi-literate children and children below 654.38+02, it is estimated that 65% people can understand the basic text, that is, 900 million people. According to the statistics of 20 18, the monthly activity of WeChat has reached 10 billion. Excluding a large number of people and people who can't read the article, 70% are 700 million people who can understand on WeChat. For example, every active official WeChat account has an average of 2 people to take care of it, that is, 7 million people. Then it can be understood that people who insist on writing articles on the official WeChat account account account for 1% of those who can read.

It is still scarce to practice this skill well.

Investment thinking is a more urgent market demand than writing. The history of China stock market is very short, and there are no other mature and popular investment opportunities for ordinary people. So you and I both need this skill, and there will be more detailed related articles later.

Training is an advanced form of learning a certain skill, and it is a more grounded knowledge application method than autonomous learning. Take this as the goal, polish yourself and benefit endlessly.

Pursuing scarcity should be our normal state of mind, which will let me find out where, where and how to realize scarcity. You will become more and more valuable along this road.
