As an actor, if you want to stay in the film and television industry for a long time, it is not possible to rely on your appearance and popularity. You must have a representative work!
Take the Kung Fu field as an example. There are many celebrities who are familiar with, such as Wu Jing , Donnie Yen , Jackie Chan , Jet Li , Zhao Wenzhuo , but there is also a gap between celebrities. If there is no outstanding work, it will be eliminated by the times!

Recently, short videos of Kung Fu star Zhao Wenzhuo kicking a knife in the air have become popular all over the Internet. Almost everyone is liked him, and many people are copying this action, but what is puzzled is that as a kung fu actor who has debuted for more than 30 years, Zhao Wenzhuo has never seemed to have proved his box office appeal!
Movies and TV series are completely different. If the TV series is performed well, it may not have box office appeal! When it comes to Zhao Wenzhuo, the first thing that comes to mind is not the movies he participated in, but Nie Feng who is in "dominating the world"! This is not a good thing!

All our familiar kung fu actors have their own masterpieces!
For example, Jet Li’s representative works are the Huang Feihong series
Jet Li has played many heroes. In addition to Huang Feihong, there are also Fang Shiyu , Huo Yuanjia , etc., but in terms of influence, the one that the audience remembers the most is Huang Feihong!
For example, Donnie Yen's representative works are the Ip Man series
Donnie Yen debuted for many years. Before "Ip Man" was released, he also had many classic works, such as "The Legend of Hungry Wolf", " Fuse ", " Killing Wolf ", etc. The martial arts scenes in it are very good, but these works failed to make him famous. It was not until "Ip Man" that Donnie Yen truly became a world-renowned kung fu superstar!
For example, Jackie Chan’s representative work is the police story series
Jackie Chan should be the most successful martial arts actor after Bruce Lee . He is well-known at home and abroad. He is respected as the "big brother" wherever he goes!
Jackie Chan has participated in more than 100 movies. He has many classic movie series. In addition to the police story series, there is also the peak moment series!

On the other hand, Zhao Wenzhuo we are going to talk about today seems to have no outstanding series of works!
Zhao Wenzhuo learned martial arts since childhood and was admitted to the Martial Arts Department of Beijing Sports University in 1990. In 1990, he won the junior championship of the China National Championships, the all-around championship of the China National College Student Competition and the national martial arts championship in 1991, and was elected as a national martial arts athlete in China. In 1993, he participated in the movie " Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu "; he served as the male lead in the movie " Huang Feihong: The King of Wind "!
These two dramas made him famous, but before him, Jet Li had already played these two roles. Whether in the film and television industry or the entertainment industry, imitating others may lead to temporary fame and fortune, but it won’t last long!
Over the past decade, Zhao Wenzhuo has participated in many movies, including kung fu films, police and gangster dramas, adventure films and costume dramas. The advantage of acting too complicated is that it makes money and maintains popularity, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is not easy for the audience to remember!
So, Zhao Wenzhuo, who is over 50, still needs to use the action of kicking a knife in the air to be on the hot search. As for whether he will get a good script and shoot a good scene in the years to come, let's wait and see!
