The reason why Shi Xiaolong can't become Jet Li # is not because Shi Xiaolong is incompetent, but the result of the times. Shi Xiaolong missed the golden age of kung fu movies. He was born in 1988. It was a glorious period for Hong Kong action movies. A large number of kung fu superstars Jet Li and Jackie Chan also reached their peak at this time. This is the period of the highest production and best quality of martial arts films in China. You should know how popular the kung fu film market was at the time, and an actor with a bit of kung fu can make a day's worth. However, Shi Xiaolong had only just been born at this time. Later, in the early 1990s, he began appearing in some action films as a child star, but at this time, he was still a child and could not fully devote himself to the film as a kung fu star.
Later, Shi Xiaolong grew up to be an adult after 2006. At this time, Hong Kong movies had completely declined, and the Kung Fu stars who could play that year were old. The action film market led by Hong Kong films is deserted. In this context, Shi Xiaolong simply could not take over Jet Li's class. Like Shi Xiaolong, another typical example is the Semian icon. As a child, he also worked with Jet Li on two films and played Jet Li's son. Even with this relationship, he could not become Jet Li.
In fact, it wasn't just Shi Xiaolong who missed the golden age of action movies. If Shi Xiaolong did not become Jet Li because of his age, what about Wu Jing? Wu Jing's age is not much different from Jet Li's. They all studied martial arts at the same sports school and were brothers in the same school. When Wu Jing became popular, he was in the same period as Shi Xiaolong. In his early years, he was involved in television dramas for a long time. Later, he went to Hong Kong and missed that era. It was Wu Jing, a disciple who was not much different from Jet Li's age, who failed to become Jet Li. More importantly, although Shi Xiaolong has produced many child stars in the entertainment industry, there are very few child stars who can continue to roam the entertainment circle after growing up. Today, they are still active in the entertainment industry, and the only stars born as child stars are Shu Chang, Yang Zi, Guan Xiaotong, Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Yishan, Wu Lei and so on. In particular, the child star Shi Xiaolong, who was once popular and unparalleled in the country, has now faded from the screen and becomes behind the scenes. Who would have thought that in order to enter the entertainment industry, Shi Xiaolong was forced to practice martial arts at the age of 2, began to appear in movies at the age of 6, and his first film became popular. People inside and outside the circle were very optimistic about him at that time. This kind of power is something that other child stars have not been able to have in recent years.
Born in 1988 into a martial arts family, Shi Xiaolong is destined to inherit his unique family education in the future. In addition, his father always considered him a martial arts genius, so he forced him to learn martial arts at the age of 2. In order to get Shi Xiaolong more professional martial arts training, his father sent him to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. At that time, the master he admired was Shi Yongxin, so he changed his legal name to Shi Xiaolong. In fact, his father's plan for him was to become a "martial arts star", so his education was very strict.
In those years, Shi Xiaolong underwent painful training that ordinary people could not imagine. Although he eventually learned something, successfully signed a contract with a film and television company, and officially entered the performing arts world, it can be seen from his later memories and his father's complaints that he did not have the childhood of an ordinary child at a very young age. Every day there is only constant martial arts practice. Even sleeping late is a luxury.
Since signing a contract with a film and television company, the company began to arrange for Shi Xiaolong to star in the film. His first film was Whirlwind Boy, which made him famous overnight. At that time, Lin Zhiying and Hao Shaowen played with him. Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen's living treasure must have left a deep impression on you, right? Compared with the silly and cute Hao Shaowen, Shi Xiaolong is the main person in charge of most of the martial arts in the whole movie. Perhaps for everyone, "Whirlwind Boy" is a lighthearted comedy, but this movie has become a nightmare for Shi Xiaolong's childhood.
Perhaps because he was worried that it was Shi Xiaolong's performance, his father Chen Tongshan followed him into the crew. Under the strict supervision of his father, Shi Xiaolong was always under high pressure and did not dare to relax at all. Every combat operation needs to be done with care. If the director is not satisfied, he must repeat it many times. For him, who was still very young at the time, it was an unbearable torture.
Although Shi Xiaolong was eventually very popular, he definitely did not want to recall that painful memory. Now, Shi Xiaolong is studying directing and other jobs behind the scenes. I don't know if it's because he's tired of working as a martial arts actor? #Entertainment# #八卦手冊 #
