Jet Li could not have imagined that Liu Zhenwei's "Fang Shiyu" written in only five days had really become his transformation work, and even some viewers compared "Fang Shiyu" and "Huang Feihong" series.
You should know that when Jet Li was preparing to shoot "Fang Shiyu", few people were optimistic about this film, not only because the "Huang Feihong" series was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but more because the contradiction between Jet Li and Jiahe made countless investors prohibitive.
Under such circumstances, Jet Li deeply understood the principle that it was better to rely on others than on himself, so he resolutely separated from Jiahe. Together with Yuan Kui, he founded Zhengdong Film Company.
The new company has just opened, and naturally it needs a loud work to support the façade. After some careful consideration, Jet Li personally found Liu Zhenwei to ask for a script, but at that time, Liu Zhenwei was also an ant on a hot pot, and "East Evil and West Poison" only shot a short paragraph, not to mention, the script of "East into West" has not yet landed.
But looking at Jet Li's very sincere eyes, Liu Zhenwei still took over the job. Due to the tight time, Liu Zhenwei could only use his leisure time to write the script and the rest time after the end of work, thinking about it day and night for five days. Only then did he hand over the script of "Fang Shiyu" to Jet Li, who thought that the quality of the five-day rush out would be worrying, who knew that Jet Li liked it as soon as he opened it.
Liu Zhenwei's "Fang Shiyu" is different from the mature and stable screen image of Jet Li in the past, but has become very naughty and witty and humorous, such a huge contrast will definitely make the audience shine, this script has, the next is to find actors.
Who knew that director Yuankui had a crush on Zhao Wenzhuo at a glance, so he brought people to the crew without stopping, but what was unexpected was that although Zhao Wenzhuo's martial arts skills were very solid, the performance was clueless. Yuan Kui saw the situation and directly handed Zhao Wenzhuo over to Xiao Fangfang, and under Xiao Fangfang's careful teaching, Zhao Wenzhuo became more and more comfortable playing the Nine Gate Admiral.
Zhao Wenzhuo did not know how to play the villain, who knew that he was told by the director that he only needed to squint at people, and Zhao Wenzhuo at that time was just a stunned youth, and the precautions explained by the director were even more indisputable, and the consequence of this was that Zhao Wenzhuo's eyes did not come back for a while and a half.
At that time, in addition to filming "Fang Shiyu". Zhao Wenzhuo was also taken in by the famous director Xu Ke, pulled to the next door crew to play "Huang Feihong", and the sinister and cunning Nine Doors Admiral, Huang Feihong is a decent figure, often playing Xu Ke to reprimand Zhao Wenzhuo a few words, let him look back, at that time there were many staff members who were very puzzled why Zhao Wenzhuo always liked to squint at people.
Fortunately, after the film was broadcast, Zhao Wenzhuo's reputation as "not good to mess with" was also washed white. With the success of "Fang Shiyu", Zhao Wenzhuo also became the hottest martial arts star in the Hong Kong film industry overnight. It is estimated that at that time, Zhao Wenzhuo did not expect that Liu Zhenwei only used five days to write a script, which not only helped Jet Li successfully change the type, but also let himself rise overnight, which is really the luck that no one can envy!
