Wu Jing responds to comment that 99% of Wolf Warrior 2's box office came from China: "Isn't it still money?"

An interviewer brought up a netizen's comment on the box office of Wolf Warrior 2, a Chinese movie directed by and starring Wu Jing. The netizen remarked that Wolf Warrior 2 had entered the list of the 100 highest-grossing films in the world of all time. However, 99% of the box office earnings came from mainland China. The interviewer asked Wu Jing what his view was on this.

Wu Jing responded: "So? A lot of Hollywood movies' box office contributions come from mainland China. Isn't it still money?" He laughed and then asked, "Is there a need to nitpick such things?"

Netizens reacted in the following manner:

1. Hahaha, this here is China. [+42972]

2. There's also this  [T/N: in the image, he says, "I learned martial arts so that fools would speak politely to me. I went to school so that I would be able to speak calmly and with peace of mind to fools."] [+35409]

3. Hahahahaha as soon as Teacher Wu opens his mouth, I want to laugh  [+12184]

4. You care too much about something that isn't important.jpg [T/N: This is a pun. The literal Chinese used is "jin jin ji jiao"; but the commentator replaced "jin jin" with "jing jing", the characters in the Jing part of Wu Jing's name. Basically saying that's what Wu Jing's expression is conveying.] [+11715]

5. Laughing so hard. In this world, there's only one kind of talent. And that's the talent to make money. [+7273]

6. But Wu Jing's expression is so fierce and vicious. His appearance is like that of a villain. [+3018]

Response: ?? You have the appearance of a crazy person. [+25380]

Response:  Wu Jing is really awesome. He can actually make you see two completely different expressions on a single face. [+20067]
