Cai Ziming, who was originally Jet Li's agent, was an old man who values love and righteousness, but because he fully assisted Jet Li to resolve the dispute with the Hollywood company Golden Harvest, he was unfortunately attacked and killed.
Those days were undoubtedly dark and depressing, leaving Jet Li physically and mentally exhausted and scarred.
At one time, Golden Harvest's David Law, a mother and son, had ulterior ambitions, and they saw Jet Li as a cash cow, setting numerous traps in their contracts to try to bring the martial arts superstar under their wing.
At that time, Jet Li had not yet set foot in the various intrigues and tricks of the entertainment industry, and he was convinced of David Luo, so he signed his name on the contract without hesitation.
However, who would have thought that this signature would become the beginning of his fall into the abyss.
After the contract expired, Jet Li only got half of the promised salary, and when he asked David Luo for a theory, the other party's attitude suddenly became bad, revealing their true colors.
In order to achieve the goal of completely accumulating money, they threatened Jet Li to either renew his contract for ten years, otherwise he would never be able to return to the land of his motherland.
Just as Jet Li was about to give up the remaining salary and go to a foreign country, the experienced Cai Ziming stepped forward and resolved the crisis for him.
Under the guidance of Cai Ziming, Jet Li skillfully designed the strategy of "abandoning the play", which dealt a heavy blow to Golden Harvest Company.
In a helpless situation, Golden Harvest could only choose to compromise and pay the remaining salary of Jet Li in full.
However, the victory was not an easy one. The dark inside story of Golden Harvest Company is worrying, and Cai Ziming's heroic sacrifice makes David Luo's mother and son unable to let go.
The sound of gunfire faded away, and when people looked for Cai Ziming, he had already fallen on a bloody battlefield, and his whole body organs seemed to cease to exist. Hearing this unacceptable news, Jet Li couldn't help but be stunned, and the whole person was paralyzed and couldn't move.
Seeing his close comrades-in-arms leave one by one, Jet Li couldn't spend every night with peace of mind, and even had the idea of leaving this chaotic place. However, fate finally left a glimmer of hope for this sad man.
Under the protection of good people, he managed to escape the treacherous environment and was eventually reunited with his family. However, the deep wounds in my heart have never healed.
Jet Li's love for martial arts stems from his young mind, those days of imitating martial arts movements and sweating in books. Whenever the sun sets, he will always come to his courtyard and immerse himself in the aroma of martial arts cheats.
His mother always watched him silently sweating and shouting, and his simple smile was full of pride and joy for her son.
At the age of eight, Jet Li bid farewell to his hometown and embarked on a journey to Shichahai Sports School in Beijing, where he became a disciple of martial arts master Wu Bin. Under the guidance of this exacting mentor, he finally had the opportunity to put into practice the results of his daily self-study and carry it forward.
Just a year later, the young Jet Li has achieved outstanding results in national martial arts competitions and can be called a legend among dark horses.
God rewards hard work, and every child has a moment to get ahead. When Jet Li was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Pan-Asian, African and Latin American Table Tennis Championships to perform stick skills, his exquisite stick dancing skills won warm applause from the audience.
The one who filmed for them was director Zhang Xinyan of the well-known Hong Kong film company Great Wall Film Company.
Director Zhang was immediately attracted by Jet Li's energetic figure, and he could barely take his eyes off this energetic young man.
After the filming, Jet Li couldn't help but follow Director Zhang to the backstage and expressed to him his ardent yearning for the film career.
For the young and enthusiastic Jet Li, Director Zhang can be said to love it very much.
He held Jet Li's head in his hand and said solemnly in a gentle tone: "As long as you continue to work hard, when you grow up, I will definitely personally invite you to participate in my film creation."
What is amazing is that after a few years, when Zhang Xinyan's classic "Shaolin Temple" came out, he recognized at a glance the handsome and dashing young Jet Li, and did not hesitate to hand over the role of the male protagonist Jueyuan Monk to him.
In this way, an originally unknown martial arts kid became a screen superstar in the world because of the success of this movie. The unprecedented success of "Shaolin Temple" made Jet Li famous in the Chinese film industry, and Shaw Brothers Pictures immediately signed an exclusive contract with him.
Although the works he directed later did not receive the expected response, this undoubtedly paved the way for him to the pinnacle of the film industry, and more importantly, the origin of all this stems from Director Zhang's commitment to his words and Jet Li's unwavering and courageous perseverance.
The huge success of "Shaolin Temple" made Jet Li's name thunderous, and Shaw Brothers Pictures immediately and decisively signed a contract with him.
However, the response to several later works involving Shaolin themes was mediocre, and his own "Chinese Heroes" also failed to cause a sensation, and he almost wanted to give up his film career.
However, at this moment, the goddess of love pointed out a new path for Jet Li, and during the filming of "Shaolin Kid", he and his sister Huang Qiuyan fell in love, and the two also found each other's spiritual home in the process of attracting each other.
Although they were together day and night, they were never affected by the distractions of the world. After years of hard work, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan decided to study in the United States together. Before leaving Hong Kong, they had a simple and solemn wedding.
After arriving in the United States, in order to maintain his life, Jet Li founded a local organization called "Chinese Martial Arts Training Class", the business of this martial arts gym turned out to be extremely hot, and a steady stream of students came to learn from him, especially after Jet Li founded the "Manjiang Red Boxing", it has become a holy place for martial arts people to admire.
Whenever he sees his protégés sweating and focusing on practice, Jet Li always recalls his former martial arts dream, and rekindles his enthusiasm and pursuit for his dreams.
At the critical moment when he was about to give up his film career, fate once again revealed its mystery and wonder. Luo Wei, the director of the film "Dragon in the World", which was in the preparatory stage at that time, visited him in person and sincerely invited him to play the role of Li Guonan, the martial arts champion of the film.
In the course of the crew's work, Jet Li met the intoxicating and beautiful actress Li Zhi. The moment the two met, an inexplicable emotion came to their hearts, like the resonance of a heart-to-heart connection.
When they found out that they were all like-minded people who had gone to Hong Kong from the mainland to work hard, the feeling of sympathy for each other became even stronger, and the goodwill between them also deepened.
This encounter not only gave Jet Li the nourishment of love, but also made him get to know the most important person in his life - David Luo, his first agent.
However, to everyone's surprise, David Luo, who seemed to be able to save him from fire and water, became a lingering nightmare for Jet Li for many years.
The reason why David Luo offered to be his agent was not because of a simple employment relationship or cooperation between artists, but because he hoped to recruit Jet Li into the "Golden Harvest Company" he was in charge of.
Since his mother is the largest shareholder in this company, he has the power to make major decisions in the company.
In the face of such an uncarved piece of jade, David Luo naturally will not let it go easily, and he regards Jet Li as his cash cow. So, he found Jet Li and promised that as long as he signed a contract for four films, he could get a reward of up to 6 million yuan.
After successfully getting rid of the shackles of Golden Harvest Company, after a period of experience, Jet Li is no longer the fledgling martial arts kid, but has transformed into a resolute and resolute star in the film and television industry.
With the gradual decline of Hong Kong's film and television industry, the dark forces that once terrified him gradually dissipated.
With the selfless help and firm support of Hua Qiang and his wife, Jet Li reinvigorated his spirits, and with incomparable courage and determination, he personally created his own "Zhengdong Film Company".
Since then, he has regained control of his own destiny.
