Usually when it comes to Hong Kong movies, the first push is "double Weekly", of course, sometimes add "two Lee and one Liu", that is, Bruce Lee Jet Lee and Andy Lau. In the 90s, "double Monday" dominated the Hong Kong film industry, although Jet Li is famous, but it is always lower than them at the box office, today and talk to you about jet Li's film Hong Kong box office record. (Box office data source Time Network)
In 1982, "Shaolin Temple" came out, only in the mainland to earn hundreds of millions of box office, the Hong Kong market is also good, won 16.15 million Hong Kong dollars, ranked 4th in the annual box office list, that year ago the top three were "Best Partner", "Young Master Dragon" and "Difficult Brother".
In 1984, Zhang Xinyan used the "Shaolin Temple" team to create "Shaolin Kid", which is more entertaining and easy and interesting than the previous work. In Hong Kong, it won 22.28 million Hong Kong dollars, entering the third place in the annual box office list, and the champion and runner-up that year were contracted by New Art City's "Best Partner Queen's Secret Order" and "Merry Christmas".
Shaw saw that the co-production film was promising, so in 1986, he sent Liu Jialiang to the mainland to shoot "North and South Shaolin", which was the only time Jet Li and Liu Jialiang cooperated, the box office was also not low, winning 18.1 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 6th in the annual box office list, and the champion was "The True Colors of Heroes", which was known as the "first Hong Kong film", Wu Yusen's work of raising eyebrows.
In 1988, Jet Li directed and acted in a "Chinese Hero", which is also his only director's work, which may be a little rough from the current point of view, but it was already rare at the time, and it also earned 11.45 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, which is much stronger than many new directors now.
In 1989, Jet Li and Stephen Chow's collaboration "The Dragon in the End of the World" before they became superstars was also Jet Li's worst box office in Hong Kong, selling only 6.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it was 1 year later, it is estimated to double more than that.
Although the previous "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin" also entered the top ten of the annual box office list, but at that time, everyone did not know Jet Li much, until the advent of "Huang Feihong" in 1991, everyone really knew Jet Li, and when they saw him walking on the street, they all shouted Master Huang. That year, "Wong Fei Hung" sold 29.67 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 8th, and the champion was Xingye's "Truant Weilong".
Then in 1992, "Huang Feihong's Boy When Self-Improvement" sold for 30.39 million Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately, under the glory of Stephen Chow, he did not even enter the top ten, ranking 12th. At the same time, in 1992, Jet Li also released a "Dragon Walking the World", which was filmed as early as 1989, and was pressed to the bottom of the box that year, which was released by Huang Feihong's East Wind, and sold for 8.09 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not bad.
Although "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Reliant" did not enter the top ten, Jet Li and Lin Qingxia's "Smiling Proud of the East Undefeated" entered the 8th place and sold for 34.46 million Hong Kong dollars, but Jet Li's limelight was robbed of a lot by the Oriental Undefeated.
Time to 1993, this year is known as the year of Hong Kong film martial arts, Jet Li has 6 martial arts films released in Hong Kong, according to the box office are "Fang Shiyu", "Huang Feihong's Lion King Battle", "Fang Shiyu Sequel", "Huang Feihong Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Yitian Slaughter Dragon Chronicle of the Demon Sect Leader", each of which is a classic in the classic, it is difficult to imagine that it is a year's work, the most regrettable is "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer", which only sold 11.85 million Hong Kong dollars that year, directly leading to the death of the next part. So far, Zhao Min is still waiting for Zhang Wujie.
There were 3 films that entered the top ten that year, namely "Fang Shiyu", "Huang Feihong's Lion King Battle", and "Fang Shiyu Sequel". In 1993, Jet Li was so prolific, an important reason, that is, he was the boss himself, produced by many Zhengdong Film Company, and here also commemorates the recent Cui Baozhu, who is also the founder of Zhengdong Film.
In 1994, jet Li had 3 movies released in this year, namely "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" and "Jingwu Hero", and a year ago, the top three were contracted by "Double Monday", namely "God of Gamblers 2", "Drunken Fist 2", "Domestic, Lingling, Lacquer". "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" won 19.38 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 11th, the most impressive is Liu Songren, the appearance of La Feng, the result is that Shuai hung up in less than a few minutes. In addition, "Jingwu Hero" and "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" are the 17th and 20th respectively, and they are also classics that cannot be tired of watching.
Then in 1995, two fashion films were released, namely "Letter to Daddy" and "Rats and Dragons", the former won 15.53 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 11th, and then "Rats and Dragons" ranked 17th, only 11.4 million Hong Kong dollars. The first and second runners-up of that year were won by Jackie Chan's "Red Fan District" and "Thunderbolt Fire", and then the third runner-up was Xingye's "Hundred Variable Stars".
In 1996, Jet Li also released two films, one with Cheng Xiaodong in "The King of Adventure", and the other with "Black Man" produced by Xu Ke. The box office figures of the two films are similar, ranking 16th and 17th, both more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars. The 1996 champion was Jackie Chan's "Police Story 4", and the runner-up was Star Ye's "God Eater" and "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair".
In 1997, with "Huang Feihong's Western Lion", he returned to the top ten high-grossing list, won 30.26 million Hong Kong dollars, and achieved a good result of 3rd place, the top two being "A Good Man" and "97 Happy Events".
1998's "King of Killers" was Jet Li's last film in Hong Kong, and then developed in Hollywood, and the champion of this year was not "double Weekly", but was won by Liu Weiqiang's "Domination of the World". Jet Li's "The King of Killers" won 10.29 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 8th in the annual box office list, and from the box office data, Hong Kong films have gone downhill.
From "Shaolin Temple" in that year to "The King of Killers" in 1998, Jet Li has not won a box office championship in Hong Kong, but this does not affect his status, because he has a relatively large influence in Taiwan Province, Southeast Asia and other regions, and is a well-deserved "Kung Fu Emperor". Although he did not win the championship in the 1980s and 1990s, he won it once in 2006 with "Huo Yuanjia", and won 30.1 million Hong Kong dollars that year. It is no exaggeration to say that the Jet Li films mentioned above are classics, and whenever I have time to spare, I will take them out to look back and admire his unparalleled kung fu.
