On April 16, 1992, there was sad news in the Hong Kong entertainment industry that Jet Li's agent Cai Ziming was shot and killed by nine shots. The entire entertainment industry fell into silence and grief, and there were different opinions about the truth behind this incident. Some people speculate that it is due to revenge, while others believe that it is caused by the search for revenge. Whatever the reason, this tragedy must be thoroughly investigated and dealt with fairly.
In the days or months after this incident, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was bleak. Many people are beginning to worry about the dark side of the circle and hope to find the truth. In addition to Jackie Chan's words, there are some details worth noting. For example, Cai Ziming's last words before his death, is there any important information that needs to be unearthed? Or is the time and place of his shooting related to his work? These questions still haunt people and have led to more speculation and discussion about the dark side of the circle.
In this incident, Jet Li's agent David Luo became the target of everyone. The outside world strongly condemned his collusion with Jiahe Company and Jet Li's irresponsible and unjust behavior. And in this controversy, Jet Li also became a victim. He left not to evade responsibility, but to protect his interests and dignity. The pressure and contradictions he faces also reveal the undercurrents in the entertainment industry, which is thought-provoking.
Jet Li's agent at the time was David Luo, and David Luo helped Jet Li sign a two-year four-film contract with Jiahe Company through his own connections, with a salary of 6 million Hong Kong dollars. However, David Luo is not a trustworthy person, and he treats Jet Li as his own cash cow for his own benefit. David Luo colluded with Jiahe Company to put Jet Li in trouble. Jet Li eventually left Jiahe Company and resigned as David Luo's agent, but was persecuted by them. They withheld Jet Li's visa and did not provide him with the required supporting documents. This inhumane approach makes people feel very dissatisfied and angry.
During Jet Li's strike, Jiahe Company felt very helpless and unable to find a suitable replacement, and was also condemned and boycotted by the outside world. Cai Ziming's underworld background made Jiahe Company dare not offend him easily, and in the end could only compromise. Cai Ziming used his connections and connections in the underworld to allow Jet Li to get justice and become famous in the industry and audience. However, some people accuse Cai Ziming of using improper means to solve the problem, which is not commendable.
In order to get Jet Li justice, Cai Ziming mobilized his social connections, and this man with a deep underworld background successfully brought Jiahe Company to its knees with his own ability. Cai Ziming also promised to create a Avenue of Stars for Jet Li, for which he invited actress Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li to co-star in the new movie "New Dragon Gate Inn". On the night of April 15, 1992, Cai Ziming and Jet Li were discussing the details of martial arts in the movie in the hotel, unaware that a terrible violent incident was brewing.
On the morning of April 16, 1992, Cai Ziming was attacked and killed by two killers pretending to be security guards in the elevator, which shocked the entire entertainment industry. Jet Li was also shocked and sad when he learned the news, and when he received the call a few hours later, his face was pale and he stayed in place for a long time without speaking. Faced with such an incident, Xiang Tai decisively called the police and received 24-hour protection from the police. However, this is not enough peace of mind for Jet Li, who lives in fear every day, so he chooses to stay in a hotel, and nine bodyguards protect his safety every day. This period of time is undoubtedly one of the darkest days for Jet Li, who has been in a state of anxiety and fear.
Cai Ziming's sudden death made Jet Li instantly lose his closest partner and friend. Jet Li had to face reality and immediately strengthened his and his family's protection measures, with a large group of bodyguards guarding him every day. After learning that her husband's friend had been killed, Xiang Tai was very worried about her safety and that of her children, so she called the police for help. The police immediately took protective measures and guarded the door of Xiang Tai's house 24 hours a day. Jet Li was forced to drop everything he was doing and focus on his own security. For months, he had to stay in a hotel all the time, rarely going out, and felt incomparable fear and insecurity. Jet Li later recalled that at that time, he often couldn't sleep at night, his thinking was chaotic, and he almost lost all his happiness.
At that time, the case of Cai Ziming's murder attracted much attention, and although the police conducted a lot of investigations, they were ultimately unable to find the real culprit. The murder was still discussed and discussed, but as time went on, fewer and fewer people brought it up. Jet Li has always had palpitations about this incident, and even made him extremely worried about his safety. He did a lot of work for his own safety, not only hiring multiple bodyguards, but also closely controlling his movements to avoid threats. Unfortunately, fate was ill-fated, and Jet Li's brother-in-law also passed away, making him feel even more fragile and impermanent in life.
