Celebrities opened a company as the boss, in the present is not a strange thing, for example, after chen Kun and the brokerage company contract expired, there was no renewal, but opened the company of Dongshen Children's Painting, did "public welfare" and "walking", became the boss himself, and also published a book called "Suddenly Went to Tibet". The same is true of Huang Xiaoming, the same is true of Yang Mi, and the same is true of Nicholas Tse. There are many successful cases of celebrities as bosses, and I will not talk about them here. Today I would like to talk about Jet Li.
If it is said that it is very common to be the boss if you have money now, but in Jet Li's time, being the boss still needs a certain amount of courage, after all, the film industry at that time was not developed, nor was it as mature as it is now, it is very likely that after a movie loses money, the company will go bankrupt - because of the competition, many people want him to die at the beginning. Andy Lau Xingchi's companies have all gone bankrupt. Zhou Xingchi's Caixing Film Company went bankrupt because of "Journey to the West", and later Zhou Xingchi invested in other industries to make money, and turned back to open a "Xinghui" company to succeed.
In an interview, Jet Li also talked about his original intention of starting a company. In the film industry, when you are an actor, you will inevitably face a lot of unfree moments, such as having a screenwriter first, a director first, and then an investment, a movie can start, and you may not be able to make the movie you want to make, even if a celebrity like Jet Li, who is identity and status, still faces many constraints, which is quite unfree.
The only thing that can achieve their absolute dominance is to be their own boss, find their own director, find their own screenwriter, shoot the story they want to shoot, and occupy the absolute dominance. Of course, there are also risks, that is, if you are not familiar with this industry, it is easy to kill the company, but fortunately, the works produced by Jet Li's Zhengdong Film Company, such as "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Jingwu Hero", "Fang Shiyu" series, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", etc. have all been successful, and Jet Li has also become a successful boss.
At the beginning of being a boss, it is inevitable that many moments will have to do their own work, Jet Li is also a person who does not want to be in the limelight, and he is not very comfortable writing his own name on many positions, but this position is indeed his own concurrent ah, for which Jet Li used a new name "Li Yangzhong", the name that Mr. Jin Yong gave him.
So Jet Li hid behind Li Yangzhong's vest and did his own work, and no one knew who Li Yangzhong was at that time. In fact, Jet Li opened a company in fact, the main purpose, or to find out how the industry is operating, only by figuring out the entire process of film production, he can make a good movie, and later results, Jet Li did it. His classics were basically made when he was the boss.
