60-year-old Jet Li has caused controversy recently, a generation of kung fu superstars, why is it also a late holiday?

Jet Li is on the hot search again.

One is because of the state.

Not long ago, he just celebrated his 60th birthday, his body is thin, his skin is loose, compared to Andy Lau, Tony Leung and other artists of the same age, facial aging marks are much heavier, and some netizens complained that "he looks like a grandfather in his 80s".

At the same time, many people said that today's Jet Li even looks different from before.

The second is because he endorsed a certain mobile game.

In the official promotional video, Jet Li appeared in white. Although the momentum is still the same, and the movements are completed very cleanly, it still feels very contrary. Some people think that he does not match the character setting, and the blessing is so serious that he can't recognize it at all; Some people also ridiculed him for self-destruction for money and began to shoot "online game covers".

The kung fu superstar who was once red to purple has also become a member of the "late festival is not guaranteed" queue.

It's just that the controversy on Jet Li has not only appeared in recent years. If you go back, you may have to go back more than 30 years.

For true love to divorce his wife, the "scumbag" has been infamous for decades

Jet Li's original wife is his fellow senior sister Huang Qiuyan.

In the eyes of others, their childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, Huang Qiuyan, who is two years older than Jet Li, takes good care of him, and the screen cooperation is also tacit, which is really a fairly compatible pair.

But the two were only about four years from marriage to separation.

While filming "The Dragon in the End of the World", Jet Li fell in love with Li Zhi, who played Ah Ling in the film. Known as "Limeir", she has a charming appearance and a delicate and proud figure, which is completely different from Huang Qiuyan, who has a simple atmosphere in her eyebrows.

Jet Li, who fell in love, loved so much that he was willing to "give everything, even his life" for him.

At that time, Huang Qiuyan had not only given birth to a daughter for him, but was also about to give birth. In the third year of the birth of the second daughter, the marriage of the two was ended.

According to media reports, Jet Li, who felt guilty about his ex-wife, left most of his wealth to the other party at that time. But even so, he was accused of "abandoning his wife and daughter", and he still became a "scumbag" referred to by Qianfu.

In Huang Qiuyan and Li Zhi, Jet Li shows love and unlove to the fullest. For the relationship with Huang Qiuyan, he defined it by his lack of understanding of love at that time.

As for Lizhi, it can be called pouring everything it has.

Lizhi failed to invest and owed tens of millions of huge debts, so Jet Li signed a two-year six-film contract with the film company to help her tide over the difficulties. After getting married, he handed over the financial power of the family. And in the usual interview, whenever his wife is mentioned, Jet Li does not hesitate to praise, and confesses to Lizhi in front of the camera again and again.

The two have been in love for more than 30 years, which has changed the perception of many people. Jet Li, who was once denounced as a "scumbag", has become a "love saint" in the eyes of many people.

Twice changed nationality, lavishly threw 200 million to build a mansion to cause controversy

After becoming famous overnight for "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li starred in many works with similar themes, such as "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin".

Later, the "Huang Feihong Series" and "Fang Shiyu Series" helped him become the "Kung Fu Emperor" of the Chinese film industry.

But exclusion remains.

In a later interview, Jet Li talked about that past, saying that "I was in great pain" at that time, and tactfully mentioned the accidental death of his friend Cai Ziming. The latter's experience was also the main reason why he finally decided to go to the United States to develop.

At that time, because of the influence of Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu and other characters, Jet Li was already quite famous in Europe and the United States. But even so, his development after going abroad was still not very smooth. In this case, Jet Li chose to join the United States, and then starred in many films such as "Dragon's Kiss" and "Deadly Romeo".

In 2009, some media broke the news that Jet Li became a Singapore citizen and spent nearly 100 million yuan to buy a mansion for his beloved daughter. Not long after, it was revealed that his Shanghai mansion had been built, with a total area of 5,369.87 square meters and a cost of up to 200 million.

The two things of "showing off wealth" and changing nationality have further damaged Jet Li's public image. Even if it was later reported that he became a Singapore citizen to establish the One Foundation, he said in an interview that he "did not do a single thing to be sorry for the Chinese nation", but it seems that it has little effect on image saving.

Due to Jet Li's "Indonesian tsunami" experience, One Foundation, which was launched in 2007, also faced a crisis of interruption in the second year after he became a Singaporean citizen.

starred in "Danny the Wolf Dog" with zero pay, and was scolded for the character image setting

Li Lianjiao starred in the film, he and Luc. Besson's collaboration, Danny the Wolf Dog, released in 2005, was controversial. In the poster, Jet Li, wearing a collar, was stepped on by one foot underneath and raised his fist to make a gesture of resistance and counterattack.

For Jet Li, this film is special, both as a subject he has never dabbled in, but also with the theme message that "violence is not the solution to problems". For this story of going from being commanded to an animal or a machine to becoming a person, he didn't even receive a penny for it.

Unfortunately, after the film was released, the response was not good.

In addition to being accused of too many commercial gimmicks, a pale plot, and even "Chinese Kung Fu" as a selling point has not met expectations, Danny's role has made Jet Li fall into ridicule.

Many people think that this character is too insulting.

In the face of accusations, Jet Li advised opponents to "reflect". As soon as this remark came out, the dissatisfied people became even more numerous.

In addition to emotional, nationality and character image factors, Jet Li's contacts with a certain master, as well as his faith-related positions, all made his public impression continue to decline.

All kinds of rumors also arose.

In 2010, when Jet Li appeared in public, he was found to describe emaciation, bulging eyes, and "cancer". Since then, he has been disabled and died countless times.

In an interview, he joked that "every year".

After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in 2019, it was rumored that Jet Li donated 10 billion yuan, which caused Xiang Tai Chen Lan to fight for him on his personal social platform and angrily denounced the "breaking news media" as boring.

With such superposition, the "Shaolin kid" and "Kung Fu Emperor", who were once popular all over the country, said that Jet Li, who cannot be inflated as a person, and must "guard against arrogance and irritability, with his tail between his legs", has long been judged in people's hearts as in the past. He is no longer a righteous hero with a similar image on the screen, but has become a self-servant who only sees interests.

Already have the impression, coupled with the mobile game he endorsed this time, there is a lot of controversy in user experience, and it is naturally reasonable to be accused of returning to China to "make money".

Therefore, even if a superstar does not know how to pity his feathers, the audience that begins with the work may stop at his character.
