When I first heard that "The Wandering Earth" was going to be made into a movie, not many people were optimistic about it. Although Liu Cixin’s ID is used, after all, science fiction movies are our weakness. Just like "The Three-Body Problem" that started filming earlier, it disappeared as soon as it was filmed due to problems with special effects technology. "The Wandering Earth" probably won't escape such a fate. However, the movie actually came out this year. And with Wu Jing's blessing, it seems that the quality of the movie has instantly become much more reliable.

When talking about Wu Jing, we have to mention his "Wolf Warrior", we have to mention that he almost went bankrupt to make the movie, and we have to mention his desperate efforts when making the movie. Sure enough, such a sincere and good actor, together with "The Wandering Earth", have made each other successful. Success is nothing more than sticking to the right path, but no one can be sure that they are on the right path before success. There is a saying that is particularly suitable for Wu Jing and the success of "The Wandering Earth": It is not that you persist when you have hope, but that you have hope only when you persist. After a closer look, it is not difficult to find that "The Wandering Earth" itself and its production have many similarities with Wu Jing's journey.

1. Hopeless

①Desperate humans

At the beginning of "The Wandering Earth", an astrophysicist on the earth discovered that there was a change in the sun. They launched tens of thousands of detectors and finally used supercomputers to determine the results of the sun's explosion. If the sun exploded, the entire galaxy would cease to exist. So where will we humans go? At this time, most human beings are desperate.

②A difficult movie

Speaking of this movie, it is a long process from production to release. Chinese science fiction movies were a blank slate. In the beginning, no one knew what to do. After director Guo Fan took over the film task, he used "Avatar" as inspiration and started by building the world view of the film. Then he also sought scientific help from everywhere and actively built his own team. In order to tell a science fiction story that Chinese audiences like, he wrote and revised the short one or two hundred words in the novel, revised and rewritten, and wrote a script of almost one million words. He and his friends made a desperate move and invested all their wealth. His efforts moved investors and Beijing Culture to join. Only then can the movie officially start shooting.

③The Confused Actor

The story of Wu Jing’s childhood probably begins when he learned martial arts and became a martial arts champion, and was recommended by his master Wu Bin to enter the entertainment industry. During that time, Wu Jing gradually gained some fame in the mainland. In order to develop better, he decided to try the Hong Kong film industry. Wu Jing, who had no friends or connections, was struggling in the Hong Kong film industry. He waited for a year to get a movie called "Slaying the Wolf," in which he played a villain with a lot of roles. During that time, he was listening to Guo Degang's cross talk in a rental house and was at a loss about his future.

2. Work hard and never give up

①Humanity’s plan to wander the earth

Although despair is everywhere among humans, everyone still understands the importance of hope. Also try to stay hopeful. Humanity is roughly divided into two factions: the spaceship faction and the earth faction. The spaceship faction advocates abandoning the earth and building a spaceship large enough to take away as many humans as possible. The Earth sect advocates taking the earth with you to wander. Most people chose the Earth faction.

Humanity has formulated a plan to wander the earth:

The first step is to use the earth engine to stop the rotation of the earth (braking era); the second step is to start the earth engine at full power to accelerate the earth. reach the escape velocity, escape from the gravitational range of Jupiter, and use this force to fly out of the solar system (Era of Escape, this part of the movie is intercepted); the third step is to continue to accelerate in outer space and fly to Proxima Centauri (Acceleration of Era of Wandering I) ); the fourth step is to re-rotate the earth midway, reverse the direction of the engine, and start to slow down (Wandering Era II deceleration); the fifth step is to park the earth into the orbit of Proxima Centauri and become a satellite of this star (New Solar Era). This plan is not foolproof for humans, and it faces many dilemmas.

②The film capital chain is broken

Although the film finally got off the ground, it continued to encounter new difficulties. Unexpected situations kept happening on the crew.

Because there were so many difficulties to overcome, everyone had to work overtime and was extremely busy. The director was even more tired. He revealed that he had only slept three or four hours a day for three years. After filming is completed, the later stages of the film are the key. The movie also needs the help of an A-list celebrity, and no star is willing to join. Later, probably because he felt the same desperate situation, Wu Jing came to join. However, after a while, the investors withdrew their capital again. Not only did Wu Jing star in the film for free, he also invested an additional 60 million yuan so that the film could be completed.

③Wu Jing’s film career

Gradually, someone in the Hong Kong film circle finally saw Wu Jing. He also had some starring opportunities. However, Hong Kong movies have declined. He had to go back to the mainland again and start from scratch. This time, he decided to work hard on his own, and following others was always full of uncertainty. In 2008, "Wolf Fang", which he directed and starred in, was released. However, the film did not do as well as he hoped. After that, he continued to direct and act. "Western Wind" was better than "Wolf Fang", but it was still not very successful.

He thought for a while and decided to join the army to experience real military life. After eighteen months of hard training, he shined in the movie "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Knives Out". The success of this TV series gave him hope of his own success, and he began to prepare to shoot a special forces movie named "Wolf Warriors".

3. God rewards hard work

①Truth wins

Finally leaving Jupiter safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, a rumor has been spreading recently: Human beings have been deceived. The sun is still the same sun. It has not changed in any way and will not explode. The original wandering of human beings on the earth was just a means for some ambitious people to gain dictatorship.

More and more people are angry, taking up arms and attacking the coalition government. The rebels occupied the Earth's cab, and many people stood on the huge bridge. In order to prevent the war from destroying the Earth's engine, they surrendered voluntarily, but they always insisted on their truth. They were sentenced to death, and all the people spat on them and threw ice and stones at them. They were thrown on the ice of the sea, and the severe cold of hundreds of degrees below zero slowly took away their lives. Five thousand people died, and a solar helium flash erupted. The sun is dead. Fortunately, there are still people alive.

②A great success

"The Wandering Earth" did not have many films scheduled on New Year's Day, but due to the excellence of the film itself, word of mouth spread, and the next day, On the third day, the number of films scheduled skyrocketed. "The Wandering Earth" lived up to expectations and became the biggest dark horse in this year's Spring Festival. So far, the box office has exceeded 4 billion. It has become a movie with good reputation and high box office after "Wolf Warrior 2". "The Wandering Earth" not only made its main creators popular, but also gave Chinese people confidence in their own visual effects. It has become a well-deserved milestone in Chinese science fiction movies.

③Achieve your own wonderful life

With a box office of 500 million, "Wolf Warrior 1" has done a good job of publicity for Wu Jing's movie reputation, and also made everyone appreciate his work. The movie has expectations. These reasons indirectly led to the high box office of "Wolf Warrior 2". Of course, the main reason is the quality of the movie. Coupled with this year's "The Wandering Earth", Wu Jing suddenly became a 10 billion actor, gaining both fame and fortune. Behind Wu Jing's great success are his countless injuries, countless attempts, countless disappointments, and countless efforts to go all out.
