Ding Lan: The transformation from a girl idol to today's screen woman
"Shepherdess" Ding Lan, the girl idol who has fascinated countless fans, has entered middle age. She made her screen debut, only 18 years old, and she made her mark in the movie "Shaolin Temple" with her excellent acting skills, and instantly became a goddess in the hearts of the audience.
Ding Lan was born beautiful and has profound dancing skills, and when she played the role of "Shepherdess" in the film, her heroic temperament was eye-catching, and deeply attracted the attention of many audiences.
That year, Ding Lan, who was in the prime of her cardamom years, although she was only 18 years old, had become the dream lover in the hearts of countless boys and girls.
The huge success of the film overwhelmed Ding Lan, and she successively played important roles in many works such as "Shaolin Kid" and "Tanglin Thief", and her career is thriving and her future is bright.
However, just when his career was in full swing, Ding Lan resolutely decided to go to Singapore to open up a new world. During her time in Singapore, she also participated in many film and television masterpieces, such as "Journey to the East" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding", although the influence of these works is not comparable to that of domestic films.
Time flies, Ding Lan gradually fades out of the public eye, turns to the business world, and becomes a successful businessman. Today's Ding Lan is no longer the youthful girl she was back then, but a weathered middle-aged woman.
With silver hair full of silver threads and the marks of time on her face, the girl who danced on the screen in the past can only be found in her memories.
Ding Lan was able to successfully portray the role of "Shepherdess" in "Shaolin Temple" and quickly became popular, in addition to benefiting from her own superb acting skills, it is also inseparable from her natural beauty and profound dance skills.
At that time, she was like a delicate flower, blooming with the vitality of life, and deeply attracted the praise and favor of countless audiences.
However, time is ruthless, and after all, it still erases Ding Lan's youthful demeanor. From a girl idol to today's screen woman, Ding Lan has experienced earth-shaking changes.
The glory of the past is gone, replaced by a face that has suffered many vicissitudes. The torrent of time is really ruthless! Ding Lan's life course has once again verified the profound connotation of the wise saying that "things are not people."
Ji Chunhua: Prosperity has fallen, gone through vicissitudes, and died young
Compared with Ding Lan's bumpy life, Ji Chunhua's life is even more magnificent and full of peaks and turns.
Once upon a time, the 17-year-old Ji Chunhua, who was in the prime of his youth at that time, was originally so chic and handsome, but the ruthless wheel of fate disrupted everything. A sudden illness turned his appearance upside down - overnight, his handsome eyebrows, flowing hair, and thick eyelashes disappeared without a trace, and the once beautiful boy became synonymous with "ugly" in a blink of an eye.
This sudden change undoubtedly brought Ji Chunhua endless inferiority complex and helplessness.
However, it is this unique face that makes Ji Chunhua favored by the director of "Shaolin Temple", and he was able to show his strength and successfully create the villain "Vulture".
This role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, leaving an indelible impression on the audience, and also laying a solid foundation for Ji Chunhua in the entertainment industry.
Since then, Ji Chunhua has embarked on the road of a villain star. The role of "vulture" he played in "Shaolin Temple" brought the audience a strong visual shock and emotional resonance.
Subsequently, he was able to play many classic villain roles, such as "Blood Knife Ancestor" and "Ma Ninger", etc., and became the focus of attention in major film and television dramas.
Although Ji Chunhua has always been positioned as a villain, he has a unique understanding of his performance: "I think there is a 'bad guy' hidden in everyone's heart, but some people can't bear to show it."
The villain he plays is not simply a "bad guy", but full of stories and ideas.
Unfortunately, Ji Chunhua's flower of life did not bloom for long. In 2018, he sadly passed away at the age of 58. This "vulture", who has done a lot of evil deeds on the big screen, said goodbye to us forever.
His departure undoubtedly made countless fans sigh, after all, he had presented so many unforgettable villains to the audience.
From an unrecognizable teenager to a famous villain star in the film industry, Ji Chunhua's life journey can be described as ups and downs. With his unique appearance and superb acting skills, he has left a strong mark in the film and television industry.
Although he failed to climb to the top of his career like another leading actor, Jet Li, his villain image has become a classic and will be forever engraved in the annals of history and in the depths of the audience's memory.
Yu Hai: From a martial arts master to a retired artist
In the enduring movie masterpiece "Shaolin Temple", although Yu Hai's role is not the protagonist, he has successfully attracted the attention of countless audiences with his superb martial arts skills and left an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience.
Surprisingly, Yu Hai was already a well-known mantis boxing master at home and abroad long before he starred in "Shaolin Temple", enjoying a high reputation in the field of Chinese martial arts, and is a national martial arts athlete, winning a number of national martial arts championships!
Even the famous movie star Billy Zhou, known as the "No. 1 killer in the world", is full of praise for Hai's martial arts skills and praises him as a top master of actual combat kung fu. In "Shaolin Temple" starring Yu Hai, his excellent martial arts and well-choreographed action scenes made the audience fall in love with it and added a lot to the film.
The audience was amazed and praised Yu Hai's wonderful performance on the screen.
However, the whereabouts of the former martial arts master are now murky. With the passage of time and the passage of time, Yu Hai has gradually faded out of the public eye, and his whereabouts have become a mystery. Whether he chose to retire to the countryside because of his age, or whether he had another hidden secret, still has no exact answer.
The martial arts masters who were passionate and shocking on the screen have now quietly disappeared, as if the world has evaporated into this bustling and noisy world. Time flies, things are wrong, and the martial arts master who was once famous all over the world is now difficult to find.
The reason why "Shaolin Temple" can become an eternal classic is that in addition to the excellent acting skills of the protagonist Jet Li, supporting actors like Yu Hai also contribute to it. The superb martial arts they show in the film inject endless charm into this film.
However, now these actors who once graced the film have gradually been forgotten.
Time flies, and the past is like smoke. Yu Hai, the martial arts master who sweated like rain in "Shaolin Temple", is now no longer heard from and does not know what to do. This master, who once dominated the martial arts world, is now so mysterious that his whereabouts are really emotional.
Jet Li: From a meager salary to a net worth of over 100 million, he finally chose to practice in seclusion
In contrast, Jet Li, the protagonist of "Shaolin Temple", has a magnificent life journey, and he has played triumphantly all the way.
Looking back on the past, although Jet Li showed extraordinary martial arts attainments on the screen, his salary was only more than 300 yuan.
The unprecedented success of "Shaolin Temple" made the famous martial arts superstar Li Lian outstanding in the limelight and became popular in the land of China overnight. Since then, he has risen to the top of the nation's most sought-after action stars, taking on many challenging martial arts blockbuster shoots.
Each of his well-crafted works has always attracted the attention of the audience and aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life. With the passage of time, Jet Li, who used to only get a mere 300 yuan in compensation, now has estimated assets of billions of yuan! .
It is indisputable that Jet Li's career development has been smooth sailing, with ups and downs like crests and troughs.
However, the physical condition of the former screen hero is not optimistic. After years of intense martial arts action and intense filming work, his body suffered serious damage.
Moreover, due to his gradual age, he could only choose to gradually fade out of the film industry and live a reclusive life.
Today's Jet Li is already an old man with gorgeous hair and faltering steps. He chose to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life, live in seclusion in the deep mountains and dense forests, and devote himself to practicing Buddhism.
The former action superstar is now hard to find.
Jet Li's wonderful performance in "Shaolin Temple" undoubtedly adds a lot to the film. From a nobody with a salary of only more than 300 yuan to a bright star worth more than 100 million yuan, his life journey is really amazing.
However, the long-term high-intensity shooting work also caused irreparable damage to Jet Li's body. Eventually, he had to choose the path of retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, to focus on Buddhist practice.
Time flies, and personnel vicissitudes. Jet Li, who was once heroic and vigorous on the screen, is now in old age, and it is difficult to reproduce his past demeanor. However, the work "Shaolin Temple" has been forever recorded in history because of Jet Li's passionate performance, and has become an eternal classic.
The whereabouts of the other supporting characters are unknown
The actors who played supporting roles in "Shaolin Temple" are now difficult to identify.
The film was filmed in 1982 and has a history of 40 years. During this long period of time, many of the supporting actors of the year have also experienced their own life changes.
Some people may have long since left the entertainment industry, while others have chosen to retire to the countryside. No matter where they are now and what kind of life they live, it is difficult to compare with the image of the film back then.
Now when revisiting the classic work "Shaolin Temple" again, the first thing that comes to the audience's mind is probably always those outstanding leading actors such as Jet Li, Yu Hai, Ji Chunhua and so on.
However, little is known about the current status and whereabouts of the supporting actors who have created haunting roles on screen, and although they may only play a small and insignificant role in the film, it undoubtedly adds a more unique charm to the work.
Time is like an arrow, and time is like a shuttle. The supporting actors who vividly showed their superb performance skills in "Shaolin Temple" have now gradually faded out of the public eye with the passage of time.
However, this film still sits firmly on the throne of film history, and the classic scenes and gripping storyline it depicts will forever be engraved in the memory of a wide range of audiences.
Although these supporting actors who once added a lot to the classic film "Shaolin Temple" are now difficult to find, their outstanding performance back then undoubtedly injected more charm into this work.
Time flies and personnel changes, but the film "Shaolin Temple" has always adhered to its unshakable lofty position in film history.
The immortal status of "Shaolin Temple".
Forty years ago, the film "Shaolin Temple" demonstrated its huge influence with a record-breaking box office result. For many viewers born in the 80s, watching this movie as a child is undoubtedly an indelible memory.
At a time when entertainment was relatively scarce, it was a joy to be able to enjoy a movie in front of a white curtain in the countryside. This movie not only made Jet Li popular overnight, but also made countless young people have a strong interest in Shaolin martial arts.
Many young and ignorant children have stepped into the temple, dreaming of one day learning martial arts as superb as Jet Li.
It is no exaggeration to say that the film "Shaolin Temple" was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience at that time. Looking back now, this work has become a shining pearl in film history.
Whether it is the superb acting skills of Jet Li, Yu Hai, Ji Chunhua and other leading actors, or the shocking martial arts scenes presented in the film, this movie has left an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience.
For decades, countless audiences have been deeply attracted and indulged in the profound Shaolin martial arts because of this movie, and many people have taken this opportunity to enter the temple to devote themselves to practicing martial arts.
The far-reaching impact of this film has undoubtedly shaped the ideological concepts and aesthetic tastes of generations of people! .
Time flies, 40 years have passed quietly, and the dazzling protagonists in those film and television dramas have now embarked on a new life journey. Some people have already achieved fame, some people choose to retreat to the mountains and forests, and some people even die young, which makes people sigh.
However, the charm and status of the film itself has remained the same and timeless. It has become an insurmountable pinnacle in the history of cinema, and it will surely be remembered by generations of audiences and sung through the ages!
