Special feature of 1905 film network "Why do you have long hair?" Recently, Jason Wu’s long hair and beard style attracted netizens’ curiosity. It turned out that he was preparing for the next new play — —

At the "Sub-forum on the High-quality Development of Film Industry" of the 2024 Summit Forum on Building a Cultural Power, Jason Wu revealed that he is preparing an action film with the director. He will play the role of Knife and Horse, and will start shooting in Xinjiang soon, and a heavyweight predecessor will join him.

After the news was announced, action movie fans and national comic fans were all excited!

"The Dart Man" is a martial arts cartoon created by chinese comic writer Xu Xianzhe. It is set in the late Sui Dynasty, with a hard-line action style and a chivalrous story of resentment and hatred, which attracts a large number of readers. "The Dart Man" was adapted into an animated version in 2023, and the evaluation was good. The live-action drama series is also under development.

Jason Wu said that director Yuan Heping has high requirements for live action movies, and every actor in the movie version of Dart Man must enter the group training in advance.In his view, how to present the spirit of the costume martial arts films and the martial arts world on the big screen? As an actor, it is necessary to keep his duty and practice his own abilities, including the ability to use his body, dominate props, ride horses, tumble and roll, etc., so that the director can better shape the characters.

As a popular filmmaker in China at present, Jason Wu’s starring films have accumulated nearly 33.5 billion box office, and the popularity of the new film "The Dart Man" is definitely not small. He also has a sequel to a blockbuster series that has been scheduled for 2027.

Jason Wu is an actor with many new films in hand. He is also a director, screenwriter and producer. His Dengfeng International Film Industry is developing many new projects. Jason Wu’s film territory is constantly expanding, and the future can be expected.

Jason Wu, towards internationalization.

"This is a real-life action movie about the cooperation between tough guys and heroes of two different cultures, building trust, punishing evil and promoting good. The most famous action stars in China and the United States will form a life-and-death partnership in the most dramatic way, and face an unprecedented conspiracy mystery together in this bustling city of new york. "

At the beginning of this year, Dengfeng International’s new film "Go to Shuangxiong" was approved. From the synopsis of the story, it will be performed by two tough guys, China and the United States. Will Jason Wu play with a Hollywood action star?

Before the Wolf Warriors series became famous, Jason Wu tried to enter Hollywood twice, but both failed.

The first time was in, he filmed for three days, but his appearance time was only 7 seconds, and he was shot dead by an arrow in the film. The second time was even more "miserable", and all the shots in the movie were deleted. At that time, it was popular for China and the United States to co-produce. In order to open the China market, Hollywood films invited actors from China to participate, but Jason Wu, who was a "nobody" in time and space, could only "edge".

With Jason Wu’s success in the film industry in China, he has been paid more and more attention by Hollywood. Last year, Jason Wu fought with his partner in the blockbuster "Deep Sea Monster", which made a global box office of 398 million US dollars and made more audiences from all over the world know about Jason Wu.

In 2020, foreign media reported that Jason Wu would star in an action comedy with "Star-Lord", which was produced by Universal Pictures and produced by director Russo brothers. It was a remake of the Vietnamese film of the same name in 2016, telling the story of a pair of bodyguards who fought against the kidnappers and rescued the heirs of the group.

Three years later, whether the film is still in operation remains to be confirmed by official sources. Dengfeng International also played the international brand "Go to Double Heroes" this time, and the writers were Wu Mi (pen name:), George Gallo and Josh Posner.

George Gallo and Josh Posner have jointly created action comedies, starring veteran movie stars such as,, and George Gallo is also a screenwriter of a series that is popular all over the world.

The story of Chinese and foreign tough guys intruding into new york in "Go to Two Heroes" reminds people of the classic action comedy series of Harmony. I hope Jason Wu can continue to promote China Kung Fu to the international stage.

Jason Wu, expand the type of action.

Jason Wu’s Dengfeng International and the main controlling party, Chinese Film, have also cooperated deeply in the field of action films to jointly develop new films.

At present, there are two projects in preparation: one is the martial arts action theme "Knife" and the other is the female criminal action theme "Hell Angel".

"Knife" is the first film in the action series "Knife, Gun, Sword and Stick Are Long in the South Pacific". This series will shoot seven films and show seven different chivalrous lives.

According to the outline of the project, "Knife" will tell the story of a pig-killing teenager who stirred up a hundred knives with a pig-killing knife, but eventually lost to a gentle "hairpin knife". When interviewed in June 2023, Jason Wu mentioned that the script of the film had been changed to the fourth draft.

Another film, Angel of Hell, tells the thrilling story of a China girl who was innocently imprisoned while traveling overseas and broke through the black prison cage. It can be seen that it is a relatively rare action movie with a big woman in China movies, which has a certain market potential.

Jason Wu once said in an interview: "How can we upgrade action movies from all aspects? One person can’t finish it. We have to brainstorm and twist into a rope to create a new style of martial arts. I really don’t know whether it will succeed or not, but someone has to do it."

A number of projects initiated by Dengfeng International in recent years also include the war film Iron Rider, boxing sports film Never Bow, and I am not body double, which focuses on the plight of stuntmen.

"Iron Ride" is a feature film derived from its unit "Riding the Wind". Yu Baimei wrote a script and continued to tell the story about the cavalry and the strong feelings of Daqingshan base area.

Jason Wu has always wanted to flattery, and his first exploration was in Riding the Wind, expecting to see the return of Jason Wu and others in the Iron Ride, so as to shoot a more real, vivid and exciting horse battlefield.

In addition, Jason Wu is also the producer of the first independent action film "Wind and Water Rise" directed by a well-known Hong Kong martial arts director. At the press conference, he said, "I hope to unite all the action talents to make a new breakthrough in action movies."

It can be seen that Jason Wu is very determined to create new martial arts and new action styles for China films. He also said: "Now I hope that more young people will work together to create new heroic images and tell heroic stories with the technical means and artistic language of movies. In the final analysis, we are trying to pass on a heroic dream of China that has been passed down for many years. "

Jason Wu, supported them.

With a deep love for traditional martial arts and the initial intention of finding a new way for China Kung Fu movies, Jason Wu joined hands with the performance workshop last year to build a special training camp for action performances, the "Shadow Martial Hall".

Talking about the original intention, Jason Wu pointed out that "Shadow Martial Hall" is not "Wu Jiaban", but provides a platform for young people who are interested in action movies to acquire their abilities. At present, the training camp has been carried out in the fifth period, and practical training such as contemporary military action performance, costume action performance and horseback action performance has been carried out for the students, which has cultivated many fresh blood of action actors.

Jason Wu and the Central Academy of Drama also hit it off. Chinese Opera set up an action performance class for the first time this year, formally bringing the action performance major into the higher education system, with Jason Wu as the professional instructor. Jason Wu sighed with emotion, "We, a group of hard-working people, have finally been recognized by the culture".

However, Jason Wu admits that it is difficult to train action actors now. The older generation of action directors are not well educated. When they want to give lectures on campus, they need academic qualifications, while young people especially need to absorb their practical experience. Therefore, we must find ways to build a bridge for outstanding action filmmakers to give lectures on campus.

On the one hand, Jason Wu cultivates new talents for China action movies and inherits and develops the types of action movies; On the other hand, he also frequently participates in the works of young directors as a producer, including He, and contributes to the diversified development of China films.

Jason Wu’s wife said that she was greatly shocked after watching the film for the first time at the premiere of "A Man Under Trees". At that time, she said to Jason Wu, "Don’t worry, this film will definitely win an award." Facts have also proved that "Between Plants and Trees" won the Best Actress in the Asian Film Awards, and the box office also broke through the 100 million mark after its release, with outstanding achievements.

Last year’s "Goodbye, Li Cola", which was released in the Lunar New Year file, reached a sinking audience with the theme of cute dogs, family stories and Jason Wu’s participation, with a box office of 240 million. "Stop and Go", starring in the Dragon Boat Festival, has won three awards, including the best film in Beijing International Film Festival, and its reputation is outstanding.

The producers behind these niche masterpieces are all represented by Dengfeng International, and Jason Wu uses his strength to help promote the small and medium-cost works of young directors to be better completed and put on the market.

No matter in what capacity, I hope Jason Wu can bring more excellent works and continue to create "Beijing" happiness!
