In 2017, the release of a movie pushed some people to the cusp of public opinion, that is, Ma Yun and Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Wu Jing and other martial arts stars.
Among them, Jack Ma, Jet Li, and Sammo Hung bear the brunt, and the story will also revolve around the three of them.
Why does a movie spark so much discussion? It all starts with a "dream".
1. Cause: Dreams
This dream was made by Jack Ma, the spokesperson of rural teachers and founder of Alibaba.
When Ma Yun was a child, his dream was to wear a robe and hold a weapon, to be a dashing and comfortable hero when he was young, and to return to the mountains and forests when he was old, not to ask about the world, and only to be an idle old man.
In order to realize his martial arts dream, Ma Yun even practiced tai chi.
It can be imagined that on the mountain peak in the early morning, wearing a white robe, slowly sliding his arms, seeking the truth of yin and yang between the big opening and closing; Finding the balance of all things between movement and stillness; It seems that he has really reached the level of a peerless master in one breath.
However, Ma Yun's martial arts dream was not finished, and Mr. Jin Yong created a martial arts world, and that book of novels is the utopia of those who chase "dreams".
When Ma Yun heard that Mr. Jin Yong's "Smiling Rivers and Lakes" was about to be filmed, he looked for connections everywhere hoping to meet the director Zhang Jizhong at the time, so he proposed himself to play one of the roles.
However, at that time, his company was just starting out, and there were no strong connections to support him to meet the director, and this time his dream of being an actor ended in vain.
Jack Ma is not one who gives up easily.
No, when he had the money, he began to prepare for the film, and this time, no one could stop Ma Yun from realizing his martial arts dream.
Second, the movie "Kung Fu Dao"
In 2017, the 22-minute "Kung Fu Dao" was released.
When the audience saw the movie lineup, they were stunned, which almost included Hong Kong's well-known stars, in addition to many A-list stars making cameo appearances.
It is worth mentioning that the theme song of the movie is called "Clear Wind", which was composed by Gao Xiaosong and sung by Faye Wong and Jack Ma, of course, the most noteworthy thing is the name of the song.
People familiar with "Smiling Rivers and Lakes" must have guessed, yes, "Feng Qingyang" is Ling Hu Chong's master, and why the name of the song is called "Feng Qingyang", which refers to the role that Ma Yun proposed to play.
Ma Yun believes that "Feng Qingyang" is free by nature and martial arts is also very good, very similar to him, so he admires "Feng Qingyang" very much, and even regards himself as "Feng Qingyang", naming the theme song "Wind Qingyang", which is not surprising to Ma Yun, who has "middle two diseases".
To get back to business, after the movie was released, Ma Yun's "martial arts dream" ended here, and the follow-up was the person mentioned above who was deeply caught in public opinion.
The audience was surprised how much money Ma Yun gave to allow so many people to participate.
With the evolution of time, public opinion has become that these "big coffees" are for money, so they starred in Jack Ma's movies and played a supporting role for a person who had not acted.
Among them, the criticism of Sammo Hung is particularly serious, because in the hearts of the audience, veteran martial arts stars of Sammo Hung's level can't be invited for money, how can they "self-degrade their identity" to others as supporting roles! Until a media interview, Sammo Hung explained the reason for participating in the show.
3. An interview
In that interview in '17, Sammo Hung said this: "I didn't know Jack Ma before I filmed this play, I admit that Jack Ma is very rich, and I didn't go because of the so-called salary, the reason why I went to shoot this drama was because of Jet Li." ”
What's going on, and why did Jet Li go to film Jack Ma's scene?
This brings us to the third protagonist of the story, Jet Li.
You know, Jet Li is known as the king of kung fu, and his years of acting career have also made him know a lot of martial arts stars and become very good friends with these martial arts stars.
Helping a friend make a cameo appearance must be very easy for their relationship. So what is the relationship between Jack Ma and Jet Li, and why does Jet Li help Jack Ma's movies find actors.
Once, at a party, Ma Yun and Jet Li met, before, the two had been friends for a long time, and this party finally allowed the two to see each other.
After talking, the two found that the other party was surprisingly consistent with their own views, and both expressed their love for Chinese martial arts.
In this way, the "King of Kung Fu" and the "martial arts enthusiast" hit it off and became very good friends.
When Ma Yun wanted to make a movie, the first thing that came to mind was Jet Li, he wanted Jet Li to be a producer, it was very difficult to ask Li Lian Jiaoshan to be a producer, but Ma Yun succeeded, how did he do it?
This has to mention the cleverness of "Ma Daddy", "Kung Fu Dao" in addition to realizing Ma Yun's "martial arts dream", it also shoulders the role of promoting Chinese martial arts.
Using such reasons and Ma Yun's friendship to persuade Jet Li, he was sure that he would succeed, and sure enough, not only succeeded, but Jet Li also brought many friends to "cheer" for them.
In this story, the friendship of hiding liver and heart, Sammo Hung temporarily shelved what he was preparing because of Jet Li, and chose to fully cooperate, which is the support of his friends for many years; Because of Jack Ma, Jet Li gathered many of his friends, just to fulfill the dream of friends, which is a show of solidarity for his best friends.
Such feelings are no worse than those of the uncle; Such a relationship is no worse than Guan Bao's friendship.
Nowadays, in this era of money supremacy, friendship is precious, although money is precious, but it does not make everyone bend for everything, but it is a relationship between people, which will make us do some strange things, but it is white heart!
