From Wolf Warriors series, The Climbers and The Wandering Earth, to The Battle at Lake Changjin and Watergate Bridge, Jason Wu’s acting career and directing career climbed to the top step by step.
However, because of his success, he not only made many directors commit "red eye disease", but even some netizens criticized him for consuming "patriotic feelings" without a bottom line.
Before the age of 6, Jason Wu Jr. was playing with a pulley in the snow, and a thumb was accidentally broken, and he was disabled since then.
Therefore, when his father sent Jason Wu to Shichahai Martial Arts School, coach wu bin didn’t want him at all, thinking that he was not suitable for practicing martial arts.
Under the pleading of his father, Wu Bincai reluctantly accepted him.
Since then, in the growth process, Jason Wu has worked hard all the way, not only writing legends in the martial arts field, but also becoming a tens of billions of directors and actors.
In this issue, let’s walk into the counterattack story of Jason Wu, a "nobody", and learn about his struggling life.
01
In 1974, Jason Wu was born in a martial arts family, Manchu Zhengbai Banner.
His ancestors practiced martial arts for generations, his grandfather practiced Tai Chi, and his father practiced mantis boxing and nine-section whip.
It is said that someone in the Lao Wu family once served as the commander of the body guard, and his reputation was spread far and wide at that time.
At the age of six, Jason Wu was sent to Shichahai Martial Arts School by his father to continue his family’s martial arts practice.
Under the careful instruction of wu bin, he became a martial arts genius after Jet Li and Zhao Changjun.
During this time, when other children have fallen asleep, he is still desperately practicing kicking and sword dancing in the training ground, which is called a "martial idiot".
In addition to practicing martial arts diligently, he has never fallen behind in the cultural class.
Although Jason Wu is still young, his father will never be soft on him.
Whenever he makes a mistake, Wu Fu always upholds the principle of "never say anything when he can do it".
It is said that once, Jason Wu got into a group fight with a few friends, and the result reached the coach.
When I got home, my father kicked him out five or six meters away without saying anything.
Fortunately, Jason Wu has a good physical fitness since childhood, otherwise this foot might kill him.
Under the "double strict teaching" of strict father and Yan Shi, Jason Wu’s achievements in martial arts and culture classes have made rapid progress.
At the age of 9, Jason Wu won the first prize in the Wushu competition of Beijing Youth Group, and it was a blockbuster since then.
In the next few years, he made many outstanding performances in martial arts competitions and became a rising star in Ran Ran.
When he was sent to Beijing No.4 Middle School, he was a well-deserved primary school bully in the school and won the favor of teachers and classmates.
But at the age of 14, a training injury almost ruined his martial arts career.
Because he has injured the lumbar nerve, he can only stay in bed for a long time, and even he needs his mother’s help to walk normally.
Seeing his son in such pain, the father regretted it, and even moved the idea of not letting him practice martial arts.
After a year of recuperation, Jason Wu recovered.
"Son, study hard and stop practicing martial arts."
For many years, my father "bowed his head" for the first time, which made Jason Wu feel uncomfortable, but his heart was full of emotion.
"When a man is Zhiqiang, what is this minor injury!"
At Jason Wu’s insistence, Wu Fu didn’t say anything.
As a father, he only wants his son to grow up healthily at this time.
In 1989, Jason Wu officially joined the Beijing Wushu Team, and what awaited him was more severe training.
By the age of 19, he had won six national championships in five years, and his reputation resounded in the martial arts circles at home and abroad.
At this time, Jet Li, the senior brother, had already become a household name with kung fu films such as Shaolin Temple, Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu and tai chi zhang sanfeng.
02
This year, the great directors Zhang Xinyan and Yuan Heping went to the Beijing Wushu School to find talents, and at first sight they fell in love with Jason Wu, whose "star temperament" was exposed.
After playing a set of boxing in front of the two masters, Jason Wu was fully affirmed immediately.
At the moment when he promised to send his lover away, wu bin was reluctant to give up, but he was thinking about his bright future, but he could only reluctantly give up what he wanted.
In 1995, Jason Wu presented the Kung Fu film Kung Fu Kid, in which he played the role of "Yang Xuewen", a naughty Kung Fu kid.
In this film, Yuan Heping invited Yu Hai, a "master of mantis boxing", as well as Hu Huizhong, a famous beating woman, and Christy Chung, a popular Hua Dan, as green leaves for Jason Wu, which shows the degree of support.
Unfortunately, although the film received a good response, at that time, the Hong Kong Kung Fu films were dying, so it failed to make Jason Wu famous.
After the return of Hong Kong in 1997, Yuan Heping tailored the martial arts drama Tai Chi Master for Jason Wu, and invited Yu Hai to continue to partner with him.
Once broadcast, it quickly set off a martial arts craze in the three places on both sides of the strait. It is no exaggeration to describe it as an empty alley.
In this play, Jason Wu plays "Yang Yugan", and there is no lack of valor in his handsome appearance, which has won the hearts of countless young girls for a while.
Yik-Man Fan’s "Chen Shaoqi" is beautiful, generous and heroic, and has also won the favor of countless passionate children.
During the filming, Jason Wu seed of love, compared with Yik-Man Fan, who is three years older than him, was moved to pursue it.
Yik-Man Fan, on the other hand, fell in love with Jason Wu’s simplicity, kindness and steady progress.
A scene was filmed, and the two became attached to each other because of the scene, and they were in full swing.
Sadly, since billionaire businessman Luo Zhaohui stepped in, the million-dollar ring he bought for Yik-Man Fan immediately shattered their love.
On that day, Yik-Man Fan said to Jason Wu, "If you can earn 5 million yuan in three years, I will be your bride."
5 million is for ordinary people, but most of the time it can only be regarded as "daydreaming".
For Jason Wu, who has a shaky foothold in the entertainment industry, it is also out of reach.
Yik-Man Fan’s "euphemistic rejection" at the same time, Jason Wu, 23, would never have imagined that a 15-year-old girl named Iola was absent from school for watching Tai Chi Master.
And this girl will become his wife in the future.
Shortly after the fire of Tai Chi Master, Yuan Heping made persistent efforts to shoot the Gulong drama Xiao Li Fei Dao, which has more ratings.
In this play, although Jason Wu can only be a match for Vincent Chiao’s "Li Xunhuan", his "Flying Sword" also won a full house.
When the martial arts drama became popular, Jason Wu made many performances, including New Shaolin Temple, Riding the Horse and Whistling the West Wind, Rain in gold silkworm, South Shaolin and King Wu of Shaolin, which were full of praise.
Unfortunately, when Wu Jing had enough economic strength, Yik-Man Fan had long been in the arms of others, and the "5 million Covenant" had been completely forgotten.
When filming "King Wu of Shaolin", the media revealed that Jason Wu and his partner yaqi fatimai were close to each other. However, it was a temporary craze and there was no subsequent fermentation.
03
At that time, although Jason Wu made small achievements in the field of TV dramas, he was not satisfied with it.
In his expectation, he hopes to become an international kungfu superstar like Jet Li and Donnie Yen one day.
This dream city is known as "Oriental Hollywood"-Hong Kong.
In 2005, after Jason Wu came to Hong Kong, he took the action film kill the wolf, in which he played the master "Jet" and Donnie Yen played "Ma Jun".
In the film, the two men’s fighting fists hit the flesh and blood, which is a classic in fighting films.
In the next few years, Jason Wu appeared in films such as "The Thief of Gemini", "The Mummy 3" and "The Handsome" one after another, but they all lingered between supporting roles and walk-on, and could not afford to make too much splash.
It was not until 2007 that he was nominated for the "Golden Horse Award for Best Male Matching" because he successfully played the role of "Tian Health" in "The True Color of Men".
In a blink of an eye, he is 33 years old, but his career has not been established, which makes him feel confused and helpless.
With the idea of distraction, Jason Wu and several friends went to visit the beautiful Xinjiang.
On the trip, a big brother saw Jason Wu’s gloomy appearance, so he gave him a spike and said meaningfully:
"A man must have the spirit of a wolf, forbearing when he is depressed, brave when he is at the peak, fearless and fearless!"
These words gave him great inspiration.
Since he can’t do much in acting, Jason Wu wants to transform into a director.
After sorting out the outline of the story, he began to prepare the first film in the director’s life-Spike.
The reason why Wu Jing made this work is that he wants to integrate his own experience into it, and the other is to "test the water" in the director world.
In order to ensure foolproof, he assisted experienced Chung Chi Li as an assistant director.
However, he still underestimated the increasing aesthetic ability of the audience.
After the film was released in January 2008, the wonderful fighting scenes won cheers, but the messy and rough plot was repeatedly criticized.
As the saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success", through this attempt, Jason Wu actually found his own shooting style, which also laid the groundwork for the series of "Wolf Warriors" with the theme of war in the near future.
On January 12th, 2008, it was the time when Jason Wu was filming Spike.
An irresistible natural disaster suddenly fell in Wenchuan area, which deeply affected the hearts of netizens all over the country.
In order to overcome the difficulties with the people in the disaster area, Jason Wu rushed to the scene alone and actively participated in the rescue work.
During this time, he fought with the PLA soldiers, stayed awake for several days and risked his life to deliver all kinds of relief materials.
After the disaster stabilized, he also adopted two orphans and helped them grow up to this day in every possible way.
In addition to participating in disaster relief, Jason Wu also raised more than 60 million yuan in donations in the disaster areas, making due contributions to post-disaster reconstruction.
The following year, his career developed smoothly, and the scandal came out again.
Some media photographed him and actress Michelle Ye hugging and kissing in the street, just like a couple in love.
In the face of the interview, his resolute denial disappointed the people who ate melons.
The photos exposed by the media are too vague to be verified, and the scandal will go away.
If the relationship between Jason Wu and Michelle Ye can’t be verified, then he and the famous wedding designer Lan Yu are almost certain.
It is reported that the two had a brief contact, but at that time, Jason Wu’s career development was uneventful, so she was "disgusted" by her.
Therefore, Jason Wu’s ending was exactly the same as when she was "abandoned" by Yik-Man Fan, and Lan Yu finally married the famous actor Liu Jun..
It’s hard to tell whether the entertainment circle is true or false, but if so, Jason Wu’s emotional road is really bumpy enough.
04
In 2010, Jason Wu’s acting career ushered in an important turning point. Invited by mainland director Gao Qunshu, he participated in the police film "The West Wind is Fierce".
In this work which gathered Xia Yu, Duan Long, Dahong Ni, Wu Zhenyu and other tough guys, Jason Wu’s "Shepherd" Yang Xiaoming was very eye-catching and left a deep impression on the audience.
It is through this film that Jason Wu not only became a "blue confidante" with the winner Yu Nan, but also laid the foundation for returning to the mainland film and television circle.
In the next two years, he appeared in films such as New Shaolin Temple, Happy Magic and Detective, but he was still tepid.
What really brought him back to the peak was the TV series "I am the sword of the special forces".
It is worth mentioning that the classic "I am a Special Force" starring Gu Zhixin was in the first place, which has already captured the hearts of the audience.
When the trailer was broadcast, it was really hard for everyone to accept that Jason Wu was leading the way.
In order to present a perfect image of a soldier to the audience, Jason Wu experienced eight months of military life in a down-to-earth manner.
During this time, he completely put down his star figure, trained with the soldiers, and ate and lived together.
Friends who have been soldiers must have a deep understanding, and those who can undergo a rigorous test in the army are very good in physical quality and mental quality.
More than 200 days and nights passed, when the soldier "He Chenguang" played by Jason Wu appeared on the screen, it really reached the realm of "confusing the real with the fake".
After this hard military training, he became more brave and determined to win in the future.
And his love affair with Iola, also quietly sprouted during filming.
On that day, Iola, as the host of the program, went to the shooting scene and invited Jason Wu to participate in a talk show.
The moment she saw her childhood idol, she suddenly became dull and even a little emotional.
When they met, Jason Wu smelled a unique fragrance and asked, "What’s that smell?"
After a pause, Iola replied, "This is my perfume, and the brand name is’ Encounter’."
Looking at this shy little sister, Jason Wu deliberately teased her and said with a smile, "You didn’t meet me, did you?"
Being so "molested" by idols, Iola was ashamed and angry, and instantly felt that Wu Jing was too frivolous and her image plummeted.
After getting along, Iola gradually learned that Jason Wu is actually a big boy, and he can say whatever he thinks.
What is commendable is that in life, he is relaxed and freehand; At work, he looks serious and has no distractions.
Over time, Iola took the lead in having an affair with Jason Wu and began to take the initiative to invite him.
And Jason Wu, also gradually attracted by Iola’s extraordinary talent.
Until the New Year’s Eve, Jason Wu couldn’t hold back his passion any longer, and got up the courage to launch the most violent offensive against his beloved.
"Be my girlfriend, let’s stop hiding!"
Such a "tough" pursuit made Iola suddenly stand on the spot, but his heart was as sweet as honey.
With the strong support of relatives and friends, the two established a love relationship.
05
In order to give his beloved a happy future, he decided to start the "long-planned" plan-shooting Wolf Warriors.
For Jason Wu, investing in "Wolf Warriors" is to put all your eggs in one basket. If you don’t succeed, you will die!
Before making this decision, he said to Iola, "If I lose this bet, will you still marry me?"
Say this sentence, Jason Wu’s heart has mentioned his voice eyes, plus Iola paused for a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
A moment later, he got Iola’s reply: "Even if you lose, don’t you still have me? I will support you!"
Facts have proved that Jason Wu not only didn’t lose, but opened a film era that belongs to him.
Behind the success, few people can understand the effort behind him.
Because no one was optimistic about this war movie, Jason Wu gambled all his fortune, even his house was mortgaged, but it was still not enough.
Fortunately, he got the support of his good friend Lv Jianmin, and they raised 150 million yuan.
Because he couldn’t find an actor, he ran around begging for help, but he was repeatedly rejected.
Happily, the team was finally formed with the help of Yu Nan, Yu Qian, Dahong Ni and other close friends, and a heavyweight star like Scott Agins.
On the day of the film’s release, it captured 40 million yuan at the box office and set a record for the first day of domestic military movies.
When the box office score finally locked in 560 million yuan, Jason Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Stumbling all the way, he really succeeded after thousands of difficulties and dangers.
On January 11th, 2014, their wedding was held in Beijing. Jason Wu was injured in filming, so he became a "groom on crutches".
On that day, Jason Wu put on a diamond ring worth 2 million for his wife, and vowed to stay together for life.
In January of the same year, Iola gave birth to a lovely baby boy for her husband, named "Wu Xun" and nicknamed "so-called Wu".
Since then, Wolf Warriors 2, Jason Wu has really mastered the "box office password".
After the film was released, he received 5.683 billion box office and set a new box office record for domestic films.
But I have to say, this movie made everyone deeply realize the cruelty of war, and at the same time it also ignited the patriotic enthusiasm of netizens in China.
Whenever I think of "Cold Front" holding high the red flag in "Wolf Warriors 2" and facing the enemy’s gunfire, I can always feel the pride and pride under the protection of the great motherland.
Nowadays, the situation abroad is becoming increasingly tense, and Chinese children should also be prepared for danger in times of peace.
In January, 2018, Jason Wu welcomed the good news again, and Iola took a group photo for the happiness of his next son and a family of four.
As for The Wandering Earth, The Climbers, My People，My Country, The Battle at Lake Changjin and Watergate Bridge, Jason Wu brought surprises and touches to the audience again and again, and made great contributions to the Chinese film world.
Such a patriotic, family-loving, movie-loving man, although he is a star, is different from a star, and should be praised, don’t you think?
