Sammo Hung and Xiang Huaqiang are famous figures in the entertainment industry.
Hong Family Class, founded by #Sammo Hung#, is famous all over the world. And the huge forces behind Xiang Huaqiang cannot be ignored.
However, even #Xianghuaqiang# did not dare to "squeak" when he saw it, but Shi Xiaolong, a passing star, was able to be on an equal footing with Sammo Hung.
So, let's unveil the mystery of Shi Xiaolong and see how noble his identity is, and how dare he show such an "arrogant" attitude. We are eager to know what a strong background he has.
Although we generally believe that Shi Xiaolong is just a kung fu star on the verge of falling out of favor and has no special background, it reveals the exact opposite: his background is actually very prominent.
With these three solid pillars, Shi Xiaolong has gained an outstanding position and extensive influence in the entertainment industry and society.
His first supporter and object of support was his father, Chen Tongshan. #Chen Tongshan#
Chen Tongshan was born into a martial arts family, and his ancestors have been martial arts practitioners for generations, and have always inherited and promoted the spirit of martial arts.
He grew up in a family of martial arts, which made him deeply interested in martial arts. In years of arduous cultivation, Chen Tongshan had practiced the Black Tiger Fist to an incomparable degree, and he had also obtained the seventh dan of the advanced dan rank.
His unusual talent and extraordinary efforts earned him the title of Eighteen Vajra from the Shaolin Temple and became a highly respected member of the Shaolin Temple.
Chen Tongshan has shown extraordinary diverse talents, not only outstanding talent in the field of martial arts, but also extraordinary wisdom in business. Despite early opposition, he resolutely entered the real estate industry, a move that cast doubt on whether a man with a martial arts background who was considered "simple-minded" and "well-limbed" could succeed in business.
However, it is precisely because Chen Tongshan does not have the spirit and courage to fear failure that he has achieved great success in the real estate industry and accumulated a lot of wealth. Today, Zhengzhou's commercial street is thriving and completely owned by Chen Tongshan, and the rent of this street alone has become a considerable income every year.
Chen Tongshan discovered that his son Shi Xiaolong had shown innate martial arts talent from the day he was born. Therefore, he sent Shi Xiaolong to the Shaolin Temple at a very young age to receive comprehensive and rigorous martial arts training.
Chen Tongshan is a man who has achieved success in both his career and martial arts, but he has never forgotten his responsibilities as a father. Therefore, he personally served as his son's martial arts instructor.
He did not train Shi Xiaolong as a father, but always insisted on the strictest training standards to demand him. Although Shi Xiaolong was only two years old at the time, he didn't care about it and still received the same training as everyone else.
Every morning, before dawn, Shi Xiaolong was reminded to get up and start a morning jog around the Shaolin Temple to exercise. His father, on his bicycle, followed closely behind, armed with a Shaolin stick, would whip him without hesitation as soon as he was spotted slowing down.
However, this is only part of his assiduous morning run. After the morning run, his father would use his body's heat energy to improve his flexibility. Three forks and one waist are the most basic kung fu, and when Shi Xiaolong is unable to complete it, his father will forcibly help him.
Shi Xiaolong's childhood life consisted only of eating, sleeping, and practicing martial arts every day, because his father was strict. Although he still aspired to play carefree like other children at that age, it was thanks to the hard training he received from an early age that made him where he is today.
When Shi Xiaolong was practicing, Shi Yongxin, the head of the Shaolin Temple, became his second reliance.
The main reason is that Shi Xiaolong changed his surname to belong to his protégé. And the most important reason behind this move is that Chen Tongshan, the father of Shi Yongxin and Shi Xiaolong, has been friends with them for many years.
However, when we think of Shaolin Temple, we often think of a pure land of Buddhism, where monks transcend their pursuit of money and status. However, this view of monks is shattered by the abbot Shi Yongxin.
Shi Yongxin is not only the owner of several businesses, but also the CEO of them. The value of a cassock on his body exceeded a hundred thousand, which showed his wealth and status, making him a typical hypocritical person. Although he looks like a monk on the outside, he is actually a wealthy tycoon.
Despite all the talk about his status as a monk, he continued to push his business expansion undisturbed.
Despite all the controversy over his status as a monk, this did not prevent him from actively expanding his business field.
Shi Yongxin, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple in 2006, plans to build an overseas Shaolin temple in Australia with the ambition of realizing his dream of "empire". He estimated that the project would cost a huge amount, reaching up to 1.78 billion yuan.
In 2014, he was not only invited to visit the headquarters of Apple and Google, but also met with Apple President Tim Cook. At the same time, when meeting with Jack Ma, he also felt the emotion of seeing each other late.
His status is indeed extraordinary, and this series of "riotous operations" is enough to prove it. After visiting Shi Yongxin, Shi Xiaolong changed his name to Shi Xiaolong.
The reason why Shi Xiaolong was able to be on a par with Sammo Hung was due to his master Shi Yongxin; Sammo Hung, on the other hand, studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple.
Although Sammo Hung is a few rounds older than Shi Xiaolong, according to generation, Sammo Hung can still call Shi Xiaolong as a senior brother, and Wang Baoqiang, who studied martial arts with him, should call Sammo Hung his uncle. This shows that Shi Xiaolong's status in the Shaolin Temple is very high.
Wu Dun is one of Shi Xiaolong's most important supporters and arguably his third backer.
When it comes to Wu Dun, perhaps everyone is not familiar with him. In 1949, he was born in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, and was jokingly called "Ghost Sorrow". This nickname shows his extraordinary strength, and even ghosts can feel sad. One can imagine how powerful his abilities are.
He was the chief protector of the Bamboo Union Gang in Taiwan Province at that time, and was generally regarded as the "first person in both civilization and martial arts", not only in charge of a huge commercial "kingdom", but also in a status comparable to Xiang Huaqiang.
He and Chen Qili, the godfather of the Bamboo Union Gang, were close friends who had forged a deep friendship in a prison in a certain country for many years, and also had a close relationship with Jiang Weiguo. So, how did he become Shi Xiaolong's godfather? The story starts with a movie.
When Wu Dun was filming an action movie, he was deeply attracted by Shi Xiaolong's wonderful actions and images.
Wu Dun once lamented that when I saw his expression and movements, his excellent acting skills deeply moved me. Therefore, I decided to help this young man with dreams and consider him my righteous son. Since then, I have been working as Shi Xiaolong's agent.
Wu Dun then gave Shi Xiaolong unexpected benefits with sincerity, and founded Changhong Film and Television Company, and shot a large number of film works through capital injection.
Shi Xiaolong could be said to be a household name and widely known at that time. He was so famous that even holding a celebration banquet to celebrate his success became a special event. The banquet attracted many well-known people to attend, and publicly stated that he would take Shi Xiaolong as his righteous son.
In the following days, Shi Xiaolong flourished in the prosperous entertainment industry of Arowana, which was inseparable from Wu Dun's support. It can be said that at that time, Wu Dun and Xiang Huaqiang went hand in hand.
Although in the entertainment industry, Xiang Huaqiang is a person who can grasp the situation, when facing Shi Xiaolong, the godfather, he will also maintain a humble attitude, after all, he must give Shi Xiaolong a certain face.
Shi Xiaolong has a strong support force in the martial arts world, underworld and Buddhist family, and such a terrifying background makes almost no one in the entertainment industry equal to him.
Shi Xiaolong should have such protection, and of course his future should be bright. But why is it now in a situation where no one cares?
Because of the high hopes placed on his father since he was a child, Shi Xiaolong underwent rigorous training and finally showed his first film performance in "Whirlwind Kid".
When Shi Xiaolong starred in the film, he showed superb martial arts, wisdom and dexterity, and outspoken personality, an image that won the love of many audiences, and it can be said that his career reached its peak at the beginning.
However, when his father saw that Shi Xiaolong was so loved, he strengthened his determination to make his son a martial arts superstar. Therefore, from then on, Chen Tongshan began to train Shi Xiaolong more rigorously.
His father also took over many film and television shoots for him at the same time, including dramas such as "New Oolong Academy", "Young Bao Qingtian" and "Gambling Saint".
Shi Xiaolong's childhood was spent in different crews and dressing rooms, and this experience can be said to be his childhood. As viewers, we also witnessed his perhaps painful and perhaps happy childhood. After all, at an age of innocence, he has to play a role in front of the camera every day.
In order to ensure the success of the film, Shi Xiaolong often did not go to school and stayed in the crew all day. Although he longed for school life, his day-to-day, unchanging work frustrated him beyond description. Therefore, when his career was booming, he decided to study abroad and escape his father's control.
However, three years have passed since Shi Xiaolong left. Although this period of time is not too long and not too short, the entertainment industry has changed dramatically.
During his study abroad, Shi Xiaolong actually used the vacation to return to China to participate in filming, but these works were not particularly outstanding.
Three years after Shi Xiaolong's return from school, he longed to re-emerge in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately found that he could no longer find the opportunity to play his fists.
It wasn't until 2010, after the release of "Ip Man 2", that he regained the spotlight, but the audience's evaluation of him was negative.
Observing the performance in the play, we can find that Shi Xiaolong's figure has become no longer fit, he has lost his former muscle lines, and he has also lost the wit and cuteness of his childhood. Some netizens even commented that he was "the first of the top ten long-disabled child stars". However, for these comments, Shi Xiaolong did not care, he still concentrated on filming in the entertainment industry.
Fast forward several years, Shi Xiaolong's film works have not achieved outstanding results, but have been plagued by the doubts of netizens.
Subsequently, in 2018, Shi Xiaolong co-starred with Zhao Wenzhuo in "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", which made him attract the public's attention again, and this time there was no negative news.
Although others have achieved double harvests in love and career, for Shi Xiaolong, he has neither succeeded in love nor gained in his career.
In 2010, when Shi Xiaolong was filming "The Legend of the Swordsman", he met a woman who made him regret for the rest of his life. #Swordsman Gaiden#
During the production of the film, intimate rumors about young actors Shi Xiaolong and He Jie kept circulating. Since the two need to perform many emotional scenes in the play, they often rehearse outside the crew to maintain tacit understanding. Gradually, in their frequent relationship, the young man and woman gradually developed affection.
According to sources in the theater industry, the two actors almost always appear glued together when they are not filming. Even if they are no longer in the same place, the two always pay attention to each other and love each other, just like a couple in the stage of sweet love.
Therefore, this situation has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Perhaps now they have established a romantic relationship, however, most netizens do not agree with this. At that time, they all spoke up for Shi Xiaolong, warning him to recognize He Jie's true face, and it was best not to have anything to do with her.
Because He Jie's reputation in the entertainment industry was not very good at that time, because she was recognized as a celebrity who used hype as a means. In pursuit of more attention, He Jie made a series of incredible moves. #He Jie#
However, when netizens began to question, He Jie clearly stated in a column: "I don't have a boyfriend now, I prefer older people who know how to care for others." At the same time, she seemed to be mocking Shi Xiaolong.
Under the influence of numerous public opinion pressures, soon after, the couple quickly ended their relationship.
Shi Xiaolong no longer has the glory he once had, and the three teachers he once relied on have gradually aged and lost their influence. As the years passed, Shi Xiaolong could only gradually withdraw from the entertainment industry after growing up. #Shi Xiaolong#
At present, Shi Xiaolong has established his own career, and filming has become a leisure hobby for him.
Although Shi Xiaolong did not become the next generation of Jet Li, as the public expected, he himself may not regret it. Because through his childhood, he gave many people happy childhood memories.
