Before reading this article, have you ever wondered if the self-proclaimed "Mr. 10 Billion Box Office" actors are really that high? The audience's admiration for celebrities often comes from a blind feeling, blinded by the celebrity's fame and influence, unable to see the essence of things clearly.
However, as rational readers, we have an obligation to question and expose those who are vain and fame-hungry. These people are not only making a fuss about exaggerating their achievements, but they are also tarnishing the dignity of the profession of acting with their despicable behavior.
An actor should be conscientious, down-to-earth, and strive to study and improve his skills, instead of using gimmicks and deception to get by. The star effect can indeed blind the public's eyes for a while, but in the end, it is strength and works that speak.
These pretentious "Mr. Ten Billions", if they are just short-sighted little people, will expose their ugly face of greed and vanity. Let's uncover their true colors and see who the real "superstar" is.
Among these pretentious "Mr. Ten Billion", Wu Jing is undoubtedly the most eye-catching and noteworthy one. He is a real box office superstar with tens of billions of dollars, and he is also a well-respected and excellent actor.
In order to better shape the image of the soldier in the war movie "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing even went to the military camp in person to experience the life of a soldier for a period of time. During the filming, he always kept in mind the important task of justifying the name of the people's soldiers, meticulously crafted every detail, and did his best to restore the true portrayal of the soldiers.
It can be said that Wu Jing has an almost awe-inspiring attitude towards the profession of actor. Even when he was accidentally injured and fractured during filming, he never complained, just gritted his teeth and persevered, and this professionalism was appreciated by countless fans.
From Wu Jing, we see what a real 10-billion-dollar superstar should look like - conscientious, diligent, and persistent pursuit of career. The one who judged Wu Jing was Li Chen, who called himself the "big black bull".
He was originally just a well-known variety show in the variety show "Brother Ben", and he gained some attention with his friendly and stable image. Unexpectedly, Maoyan Data actually listed him as a god-level box office hit of "25.959 billion".
A closer look at Li Chen's artistic experience, it is not difficult for us to find the absurdity. As an "actor", he has made only a handful of movies, and his main works are "Extreme Rescue", "Sky Hunting" and "Tangshan Earthquake", even if they are all combined, the box office is only three or four billion.
As for the other "starring" movies shown in Maoyan data, Li Chen either only plays a small role in it, or he is just a pseudonym, and there are very few scenes in it.
It can be seen that in this "25.959 billion" box office figure, the moisture is quite large. In fact, Li Chen gave people some hope in the early days. In works such as "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", he showed good acting talent.
It's a pity that he lost his way later, and after gaining fame and fortune, he began to let himself go, focusing more on the variety show industry and "not doing his job". If Li Chen can patiently study and develop his acting career, maybe he can become a powerful actor in the future.
It's a pity that now he is vain for a while, but he has exposed his ugly face as a villain. An actor should be down-to-earth and conscientious, rather than ambitious and vain.
Among these questioned "Mr. 10 billion", Ou Hao and Han Dongjun are more typical examples. They were once expected to be regarded as a new generation of "traffic niches", but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and now they have long existed in name only.
Ou Hao was originally a singer, and later changed his career to become an actor with the strong support of Nicholas Tse. As a teacher, Nicholas Tse was prepared at that time, trying his best to develop resources for Ou Hao in the entertainment industry and clear many obstacles.
Perhaps out of gratitude, Ou Hao worked diligently as soon as he debuted, and had outstanding performances in films such as "Left Ear", "Fire Hero" and "Eight Hundred", and was highly praised, and once became a "celebrity" rookie in the circle.
It's a pity that Maoyan Data actually listed him as "Mr. 10 billion", which is a bit outrageous. Carefully taking stock of the films starring Ou Hao, except for the above works, which have won a good reputation, most of the rest are small roles and cameos in the form of "leftovers", and some are even just a name, which cannot be regarded as his actual contribution at all.
Even the exaggerated "My Motherland and Me" and "Left Ear", Ou Hao only participated in the filming of unit dramas. If you really want to calculate his actual box office, I'm afraid that it won't even reach five or six billion.
Similar to Ou Hao's encounter, there is also Han Dongjun, a post-90s student. In 2012, as soon as he graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, he was highly praised and regarded as a very promising "traffic student".
Passing all the way, he not only starred in classic old dramas such as "The Condor Heroes", but also starred in the online drama "Heartless Mage" produced by Tianjin Tangren. It's a pity that after becoming popular, Han Dongjun did not shift his focus to the money-making film career, and still diligently filmed online dramas and TV series.
Although he has also made cameo appearances in main theme films such as "Changjin Lake" and "My Motherland and Me", because it is a red movie, the box office cannot be counted in his personal record at all. So judging from the actual data, Han Dongjun, as a movie actor, has almost a "0" box office, which is far less than the so-called "Mr. 10 billion" title.
The encounter between the two reflects the short-sighted dilemma of traffic Xiaosheng, once they fall into a short-lived misunderstanding, it will be difficult to return to the film and television industry strongly. Among these pretentious "Mr. Ten Billion", Du Jiang's experience is quite different.
The reason why he was able to become an instant hit in the entertainment industry was because of his lovely son Du Yuqi. Let's start with a variety show in 2015. That year, Du Jiang's family was invited to participate in the recording of "Where Are You Going, Dad".
In the show, the young Du Yuqi is lively and cute by nature, and is deeply loved by the audience, and even some netizens have opened a topic Weibo specifically for him. In this way, Du Yuqi became an instant hit, and Du Jiang, as his father, also got ahead and gained a lot of attention.
It can be said that this is a typical example of "the father is more valuable than the son". With the popularity brought by variety shows, Du Jiang's acting career began to take off. Directors from all walks of life have come to the door to plead, hoping to let him star in his film and television works.
As a result, Du Jiang starred in well-known masterpieces such as "Mr. High Heels", "Operation Red Sea", "My Motherland and Me", and finally made a major breakthrough in his career. It's a pity that Maoyan data lists Du Jiang as a high-grossing actor of "14.646 billion", which is a bit exaggerated.
Because this also includes the box office data of many unit dramas and red theme movies starring Du Jiang, and this part should not be included in the personal record. If these works are excluded, only films like "Operation Red Sea" where Du Jiang has indeed made personal contributions are counted, and his actual movie box office is only about 4 billion, far from reaching the so-called "Mr. 10 billion" level.
However, Du Jiang's acting skills are indeed highly praised, and he has always been a highlight in film and television works. Perhaps it is driven by vanity that they exaggerate themselves in this way.
An actor should be humble and low-key and down-to-earth, not vain and conceited and self-absorbed. Finally, let's focus on Liu Haoran, a new generation of actors. Since he was admitted to Chinese opera in 2015, he has opened up his popularity by starring in the "Detective Chinatown" series of movies directed by Chen Sicheng.
As soon as the first film in the series was released, it achieved an astonishing box office result of 876 million. The follow-up "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Detective Chinatown 3" also collected 3.4 billion and 4.57 billion box office respectively, which can be described as Liu Haoran's biggest gold mine.
However, based on the results of the "Tang Detective" series alone, Liu Haoran's total box office may not be able to reach the "20 billion" height advertised. Because in addition to this, the other films he starred in were either small roles at the supporting role level, or low-budget productions with mediocre box office.
For example, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter", "Invisible Guest", etc., Liu Haoran does not have too many scenes in it. Although there are also main theme films like "My Motherland and Me" and "1921", because they belong to the category of unit dramas or red movies, the box office cannot be fully counted on his personal head.
It can be said that the "Detective Chinatown" series is Liu Haoran's biggest box office highlight and the behind-the-scenes hero of his career development. Without this continuous stream of revenue, his personal box office may not be able to reach the height of "Mr. 10 billion".
From Liu Haoran's example, it is not difficult to see that the reason why some people can get this false name is largely due to the ambiguity of standards and the existence of moisture. As long as it is slightly packaged and beautified, any actor seems to be able to become "Mr. Ten Billion" based on reason.
But such an approach is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the profession. A competent actor should be based on his duty and focus on improving, rather than vain and coveting those meaningless titles.
