Wu Jing and the ambition to restore the action - martial arts film genre

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

The box office success of "Xiao Ren" is a great motivation for Wu Jing to continue to realize his ambition to restore the prosperity of the action - martial arts film genre.

Ngo Kinh and the producers and investors of the blockbuster "Tiêu nhân: Phong khởi đại mạc" continue to welcome good news as the film still increases revenue after 34 days of screening.

As of March 22, "Tiêu nhân" achieved a total revenue of 1.39 billion CNY, of which investors received 494 million CNY. Platforms predict the final total revenue of "Tiêu nhân" will be about 1.43 billion CNY, equivalent to a share for investors that may exceed 500 million CNY.

Initially, Ngo Kinh and screenwriter and producer Du Bach Mi both thought that this project would be a loss, but they were still determined to implement it. The current success of "Titao Nhan" has opened up opportunities for Ngo Kinh to continue making part 2.

According to Sohu, Wu Jing is showing clear ambition in restoring the martial arts - action film room.

The largest production unit of "Tiêu nhân" is Viên Hòa Bình Hạ Môn Film Company directed by Viên Hòa Bình; second is Đại Mạch Entertainment Beijing (formerly Alibaba Pictures), and third is Đăng Phong Beijing International Cultural Media Company directed by Ngô Kinh.

Wu Jing plays a very important role in this project: he is not only the main actor but also the producer. His company is the third largest producer and also the number one distributor. It can be said that Wu Jing plays the role of the "chairman" of the entire project.

Ngo Kinh's Beijing Dang Phong Company previously earned a large profit by investing in a series of blockbusters such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Lost in the World", "My Homeland and I", "Truong Tan Lake"...

Wu Jing founded the "Photo Vo Duong" to train professional martial arts actors, and has organized many courses.

In addition, his company also announced plans to produce a series of 7 action movies, corresponding to 7 types of traditional weapons and martial arts: swords, spears, swords, cones, spears, bows, bows. Each part of the film corresponds to an Eastern aesthetic beauty: wind, flowers, snow, moon, mountains, lakes and seas.

The opening work named "Dao" has been registered since 2023. Currently, the project is still in the stage of completing the script, there is no information about starting filming.

Previously, Dang Phong Beijing also registered for action movies such as "Bôn phó song hùng", "Thiết kỵ", "Kinh hồn cuộc gọi"...

In addition, Ngo Kinh is likely to participate in the action movie "Phong thanh thuy khoi" directed by martial arts director Ly Trung Chi. The two have known each other for more than 20 years. This is Ly Trung Chi's debut film as an independent director, while Ngo Kinh takes on the role of producer and fully supports.

At the same time, Ngo Kinh's own project "Wolf Warrior 3" is still in the process of completing the script, and may be launched when the time is ripe.

Not only Ngo Kinh, action stars such as Vuong Bao Cuong, Donnie Yen, Ngo Viet... are all planning to make action movies.

However, in the context that the film industry is under pressure and audiences are gradually getting bored with Hong Kong (China) films, action movies are forced to find their authenticity, innovation and transformation, to be able to attract audiences back to theaters.

As long as the supply of new films is maintained continuously, and breakthrough "blockbuster" works appear in both domestic and international markets, the action - martial arts film genre will not only be maintained but can also reach a new level.
