"It is a story about how balance beam champion Jing Tian [the film's lead actress] leads all these famous stars to fight against monsters. In the end, while the foreign friends fail, Jing, who has presented her bungee jumping nike air max 2018 womens nz , javelin throwing and gymnastic skills along the way, kills the monster with her perfect high dive skills," Wen wrote.
