Filming is cool! The movie story of the actor "Wukong"
The reason why he named Wukong is because he was deeply impressed by Wukong played by Jet Li in the movie "King of Kung Fu". He felt that "Monkey King" is the representative of Chinese culture, which can make him integrate into China faster. It turned out to be the case, people who met for the first time would immediately remember his name and be impressed with him.
The first movie Wukong participated in was "Changjin Lake", at that time he was full of curiosity about making movies. "We filmed for more than four months, about 12 hours a day, and I only had one or two seconds of footage when the movie came out." Wukong said that compared to them, the behind-the-scenes staff worked harder. This was the first time he really felt it. The difference between onstage and behind the scenes. "A few seconds of a wonderful scene in a movie may be the result of shooting back and forth for several days."

This time, he came to Qingdao to shoot "The Wandering Earth 2", and he bluntly said that the shooting environment was much better. "When filming "Changjin Lake", I lived in a small town, and my life was relatively boring. It was far from the filming location. It took an hour and a half to drive. In winter, the outdoor shooting was very cold and the environment was difficult. The environment here in Qingdao is very good. There are shopping malls and express delivery, and life is very convenient. The hotel where I live can even walk to the studio. This time I have no action scenes, and I am shooting in the studio, which is very relaxing.”

Qingdao is great! love everything here
When it comes to the life of the crew in Qingdao, the free coffee provided by the crew, the meat patties and hand patties made by the auntie in the dining car outside the studio, all made him full of praise. Wukong said that this is not the first time he has come to Qingdao. He has also filmed many works such as "Beyond" and "Basic Law of Genius" here before, and he has also cooperated very happily with the company in Qingdao.
"This city is very good. Not only is the environment beautiful, there are many delicious food, but there are also many foreign historical buildings. You can shoot various types of films, whether Chinese or foreign. It is a very suitable city for film and television shooting." Wukong commented on Qingdao in this way.

Can speak 11 languages! Hope to introduce Chinese culture to the world
Talking about the reason for coming to China, Wukong said that his original intention was to learn the language. "Chinese is too difficult. I think it can only be learned in a Chinese context, so I came here." Now, Wukong, who has traveled in China for 7 years, can tell his story in fluent Chinese. As a language lover, Wukong speaks 11 languages, and his goal is to learn all the official languages of the United Nations. "Being able to make friends from all over the world in the crew is an excellent opportunity to practice language." For this reason, Wukong likes this job very much, and he said that he will continue to improve himself and learn more skills to get more performance opportunities .
As a Pole who is afraid of the cold, after work, Wukong will go to the south to spend the winter. In his opinion, "it's convenient to go anywhere with a high-speed train". "China is very interesting, not only has a long history of culture, but also a lot of modern things, trade, high-tech, infrastructure are all developing very fast. And it is a vast territory, with great differences between the north and the south, the climate, language, cuisine, customs and customs. It’s different, life here will not be boring at all.” Wukong said, this is the reason why he has been staying here, and he hasn’t visited China in 7 years. He said that in the future, he would like to invite his family to visit China, and he would continue to promote China and spread Chinese culture to the world through short videos.
