"Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Reliant"
In the early 1990s, Jet Li initially developed in Hong Kong, and returned to the peak with a "Wong Fei Hung's Ambition". After that, Jet Li became the hottest martial arts film actor in the Hong Kong film industry, and the object of competition among major film companies.
However, at that time, it was also the darkest period of the Hong Kong film industry, and there were many major events that affected the development of the entire film industry, including the assassination of Jet Li's agent.
Therefore, since 1992, Jet Li has returned to Beijing by taking the opportunity of cooperation with Beijing Film Studio in "Huang Feihong's Three Lions". Then, in more than a year, Jet Li made a number of classic martial arts films in Beijing, pushing the trend of Hong Kong martial arts movies to the peak.
Including "Fang Shiyu" 2 parts, "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Yitian Slaughter Dragon Chronicle of the Demon Sect Leader", "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", etc., were all filmed in Beijing.
Therefore, during this period, Jet Li also appeared the most mainland actors in his films.
The most famous is the villain in "Fang Shiyu", Zhao Wenzhuo, who plays the Nine Gate Admiral Ordo.
