Wu Jing consumes patriotic sentiments, and tough guy Wu Jing sells patriotic sentiments again

The National Day movie schedule has ended. The top spot is undoubtedly the movie "Changjin Lake" starring Wu Jing. The box office of 3 billion in 7 days puts other movies released in the National Day schedule at the same time behind. It can be said that It was a huge success, but at the same time, there were also other different voices, even "bombarding Wu Jing."

Movie Changjin Lake

Recently, the well-known director Liu Xinda posted on Weibo to criticize Wu Jing:

"Wu Jing, why don't you know how to give way to talents? Look? When Wu Jing's movies were scheduled until 2030, Liu Xinda was very angry. Liu Xinda wanted to ask Wu Jing, why do you want to dominate the big screen all the time? Why don't you know how to give up? Are you robbing young actors? Job?"

In fact, everyone knows that this kind of people are just taking advantage of the popularity of the movie Changjin Lake to gain attention and gain popularity. There are also comments from netizens. A typical "sour grapes", can Wu Jing, as the leading actor, predict the box office trend of a movie? Why didn't anyone support him when he sold his house to film Wolf Warriors? As for snatching the jobs of young actors, this is even more nonsense.

In the past few years, the entertainment industry was full of young talents. In that era when traffic was king, why not talk about those Are young actors taking advantage of veteran actors? Most of those young actors have no acting skills, are playing big names, are involved in scandals, and evade taxes. How many of them are qualified actors? Now there are people coming out to take advantage of the heat. All this makes people feel sick.

As a main theme movie, "Changjin Lake" is undoubtedly successful. From here we can also see that Wu Jing has found a path that suits him. In the era when Wu Jing first debuted, martial arts There are so many stars, including Donnie Yen, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan, that he can't stand out, but he doesn't care about his life in filming. He insists on not using a stuntman in the 22 years since his debut. He does all the actual combat, speeding and explosions by himself. It has become Wu Jing's label to risk his life while filming. Whether he broke his finger in "The Master of Tai Chi", injured his right eye in "Little Li's Flying Knife", or ruptured his ligaments in "The True Colors of a Man", he even got married with the help of a cane.

However, he was still oppressed too hard. In that era when Kung Fu stars emerged in large numbers, he could not get ahead. In the end, he decided to become a director himself. In order to make good war movies, he also went to special places. After serving in the army for two years, he ate and lived with special forces every day, listened to bullets flying past his ears, and experienced the feeling of tanks driving past his body...

It was also during those two years that he He became proficient in all kinds of firearms, learned how to mine and clear mines, and parachute. There was even a slogan "Learn from Comrade Wu Jing" in the army.

However, he finally found his own path, a broad road. Wolf Warrior successfully pioneered domestic war films and let people know that there are tough guys in Chinese movies. "Wolf Warrior 2" With a box office of 5.68 billion, it is still the number one in the Chinese film industry. He showed people that China also has big productions that are not inferior to Hollywood.

From Wolf Warrior to Changjin Lake, it can be seen that Wu Jing has completely followed the path of war movies. The success of this series also shows that Wu Jing’s original decision to burn everything was completely correct. , and we indeed need the existence of this kind of patriotic education.

Before this movie, many people may not really know how cruel the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea was, but the author’s grandfather once went to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. His old man told me how powerful American artillery was, and a burst of artillery fire When attacked, many of his comrades-in-arms seemed to be still lying there. When touched, they were all scattered. There were also American planes. They attacked anyone they saw in North Korea, including ordinary people in North Korea. He once saw I lived with a family like this: "The son was farming in the field, and the American plane came and beat him to death. His mother took his hoe and continued farming, because at that time, the Korean people were already eating leaves and were not planting. They would starve to death, so they hated the Americans and their planes. Whenever he told me a story, he always gritted his teeth at them. I didn’t understand it before, but after watching Changjin Lake. , I understand.

In this era, we still need to maintain a high degree of patriotism, but many people have forgotten that the long-term peace has made them forget the sacrifices of their ancestors. Comeback and sacrifice, those who went to war and never came back, they became lonely ghosts on the battlefield, but now "Japanese style streets" and "wearing kimonos on National Day", these things can't help but make us think about it, Patriotism is more than just words.
