At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo broke into the Hong Kong film industry, cooperated with Xu Ke in films, and almost made a loss. Xu Ke did not worry about the box office, but he was a little angry about Zhao Wenzhuo's phone call on the set to talk about love.
Initially, if he had not been forced to be helpless, Xu Ke would not have enabled Zhao Wenzhuo. When the classic big IP "Huang Feihong" was filmed to the fourth part, the "soul protagonist" Jet Li resigned from the mountain.
Xu Ke was anxious, ran to the next crew and complained to Jet Li, and happened to take a fancy to Zhao Wenzhuo, who was playing a role with him.
The role substitution is easy, but looking at the action film market, Jet Li's famous name is difficult to copy. This can be seen from the cliff-like decline in the box office of "Huang Feihong 4".
"Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li Zhuyu is in front, and the heat is difficult to surpass. How powerful is Jet Li's kung fu?
Jet Li in Jackie Chan's eyes is eighteen martial arts, and he can do anything. Wu Jing considered himself "inferior to his brother" and repeatedly imitated the other party's route. Jay Chou also said that he should be "Jet Li on music" and let foreigners listen to Chinese songs!
Then again, Jet Li originally cooperated well with Xu Ke, so why did he quit "Huang Feihong 4"?
The reason is not him, only because the film contract is too low and Jet Li urgently needs money, his girlfriend at the time Li Zhi lost money in business, and stood up for the crazy Jet Li to "support the bottom" for her.
After Jet Li set up another mountain, he signed a contract with Yongsheng Film Company for 72 million yuan for six films for two years, and Li Zhi successfully survived the difficulties.
Later, on television, a young girl asked sharply in front of Jet Li, "Is the promise used to break or is it used to be fulfilled?"
It insinuates that Jet Li "abandoned" Huang Qiuyan, his wife of the chaff, and fell mad with the great beauty Li Zhi.
The paradox of love lies in its exclusivity, Jet Li respects his ex-wife Huang Qiuyan like a guest, has a cold attitude, and is infatuated with Li Zhi!
As a top superstar, jet Li is surrounded by female stars who fly and dance with butterflies, and the female star lineup that plays with him is also quite luxurious, such as Guan Zhilin, Zhang Min, Li Jiaxin, these first-class and first-class beauties.
But Li Zhi is also a well-known "vinegar jar", and Jet Li, who is obsessed with her, is not only obedient, but also deliberately keeps a distance from a group of actresses around him.
After insight into Jet Li's love story, you will find that the "King of Kung Fu" is far more obsessed than you think.
01
Jet Li was born in Beijing in 1963. At the age of 8, Jet Li entered the Shichahai Sports School and officially began his martial arts career. He and his first wife, Huang Qiuyan, are the same sister.
Huang Qiuyan is two years older than Jet Li and has won the Snake Fist and Double Sword Project Awards at the Beijing Wushu Competition.
Unlike their martial arts background, Li Zhi's desire from childhood was to become a scientist. Born in Shanghai in 1961, Li Zhi's parents divorced when she was three years old, and she later settled in Xi'an with her father for a while.
In his childhood, Jet Li lived a simple life, and he grew up with his sister Qingmei Bamboo Horse and each other. The short trajectory of life cannot be matched with the eight rods of wisdom thousands of miles away.
Huang Qiuyan learned that his brother's father had died early, and it was all up to his mother to pull the sisters and brothers, and she couldn't help but feel pity.
Especially whenever I see Jet Li's pants, which are left over after my sister and brother wear them, and I also wear a women's pants pocket, I need to cover up from time to time when I walk, which makes Huang Qiuyan look even more painful.
This heartache, Huang Qiuyan fell into the whirlpool of love. However, at that time, Jet Li was full of thoughts about how to increase wages to subsidize the family, and he was not concerned about the love between men and women.
In 1980, the movie "Shaolin Temple" was selected for the whole country, and director Zhang Xinyan identified the heroic Jet Li among the masters.
The casting results are not unexpected, Jet Li's kung fu experience is full of legends: learning martial arts at the age of 8, traveling to perform in various countries at the age of 11; participating in the third National Games, he won the title of national martial arts all-around champion; and in one year, he participated in the National Games with injury and won 5 gold medals.
"Shaolin Temple" was filmed for two years, released in 1982, and in the context of a few dime ticket prices, it created 160 million box office. What if I don't have money to watch a movie? A brick for a movie ticket, and as a result, many people took away the toilet bricks.
From the traditional point of view, Jet Li has a successful career, and it is time to consider starting a family. But for Huang Qiuyan's affection, Jet Li's reaction is somewhat unsalty.
Jet Li had originally planned to break up with Huang Qiuyan, but at this time, he was worried that he would be scolded for breaking up, and he would abandon his girlfriend when he was red! Jet Li thought of a way to let Huang Qiuyan be the heroine and let her also succeed in the scenery, so that when she mentions the breakup, she will not feel too indebted.
The idea came true, and Huang Qiuyan played the heroine in "Shaolin Temple 2". In the end, I found that this idea was naïve and useless, and the feelings were broken, and the mud and water were not dragged.
Huang Qiuyan knew that Jet Li was weak-minded, but she still habitually took care of him and treated him well. Jet Li also habitually accepted all the orders and did not refuse.
Soon, Jet Li was seriously injured in filming "North and South Shaolin" and was told that he was in danger of disability. At that time, it was Huang Qiuyan who took care of her carefully, often relieved, and accompanied Jet Li out of the darkest darkness of life.
In Jet Li's words, out of gratitude, he married Huang Qiuyan.
Another version is that Jet Li suddenly fell seriously ill during the filming of "Chinese Heroes", and a woman named Zhao Qunxue not only cured Jet Li's illness, but also told him to get married quickly.
In 1987, Jet Li married Huang Qiuyan, and fate did change quietly. As a visiting scholar, Jet Li dragged his family to the United States for development.
At this time, Li Zhi also quietly changed the direction of his destiny.
In the early 1980s, Lee Chi followed her father to Hong Kong, where her first job was as a sales clerk, and the arrogant Lee Chi was determined to break into the show business.
She interviewed actors from New Art City. Li Zhi, who thinks he has a good appearance, is full of confidence and does not want to be eliminated, the reason is "too earthy".
Li Zhi, who was extremely frustrated in his heart, gambled and went to study abroad. In 1983, she went to the University of San Francisco to study business economics, and returned to Hong Kong in 1986.
In that year's Miss Asia competition, Li Zhi stood out from thousands of beautiful women and won the championship.
Xu Ke said, "Lin Qingxia is a beautiful woman who only appeared in 50 years", Ni Kuang did not want to show weakness, "Li Zhi is a rare beauty in half a century."
In short, they are all beautiful women, and there is no shortage of suitors around beautiful women, and even jet Li, a kung fu superstar, fell under her pomegranate skirt.
02
In 1989, Li Zhi participated in "Tonight No Defense", and Ni Kuang asked her "ideal marriage partner". Li Zhi's answer at that time was, "I am a person who looks at fate, how I feel after contact, and it is important to cultivate, sense of responsibility, maturity and stability." ”
As a result, he was awakened by Huang Xia's words, "This ideal type is not available in most young people." ”
Cai Lan asked along the lines, "Most of those who are mature and stable have wives, what if they meet a person who has a wife?" ”
This group of middle-aged men had to say that their eyes were poisonous, and Li Zhi was anxious to clear the possibility of future intervention, but only at that time, her love affair with the gambling king had been rumored in the market.
Earlier, the gambling king He Hongshen was fascinated by Liang Anqi, who was skilled in dancing, at a private dance party, and married Liang Anqi as the fourth room in the family.
But the gambling king has never been the master of "drinking only a scoop of water". When the bright-eyed and bright-toothed Li Zhi appeared on a fashion dance step, Ho Hongsheng couldn't help but linger, and the news that Li Zhi would become the fifth aunt did not go away.
Under the concerted opposition of the families, the relationship disappeared.
If Ho Hongshen lost in his family wealth and had too much; then Jet Li won with nothing and was obsessed with fearlessness.
Jet Li in 1989, who had not yet opened his fame in Hong Kong, once taught martial arts in the United States after marrying Huang Qiuyan. During the period, an ocean call came, and director Luo Wei invited Li Lian to perform "The Dragon at the End of the World".
This director is not small, Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" is directed by him. Jet Li adored Bruce Lee and was naturally moved by the invitation. Huang Qiuyan also encouraged him, even if he was pregnant with Liujia, he still hoped that her husband would put his career first.
But Huang Qiuyan did not know that the heroine of the movie "Dragon in the End of the World" was the great beauty Li Zhi.
Every day in front of the breathtaking face, jet Li can not be moved. What moved him in turn was that the two of them talked about everything, and lizhi coincided with him in many ways, and Jet Li even felt that Lizhi knew him better than his mother.
Before that, no one told Jet Li what love was, and inadvertently, he met someone who made his hormones burst and haunt his dreams.
Jet Li picked up the phone and called Huang Qiuyan, who was far away in the United States, and said "the breakup that was many years late."
For Jet Li, love is courage. In Huang Qiuyan's place, it is complete. The two divorced peacefully, the daughter was raised by Jet Li, and the property in the United States belonged to Huang Qiuyan.
After the divorce, Jet Li, career ambitions began to appear, and he only owed Dongfeng to his fists and feet.
However, in the face of late love, kung fu superstars are rarely humble, Jet Li said that he once bought flowers, waited for a night in Repulse Bay, and thought of surpriseing Li Zhi. But who knew that night, Li Zhi went home and took another road.
The beauty was in the dark, and when she went home, she fell asleep. Jet Li waited foolishly, tired of self-knowledge.
03
Years later, Jet Li recalled that the suitors around Li Zhi, not to mention the tens of billions of dollars, were all hundreds of millions, and they had nothing, only the ability to make movies.
In 1991, Xu Ke found Jet Li, who was in a trough, and joined forces to create a big IP "Huang Feihong". The film was a big hit, setting off a boom of "Wong Fei Hung" in Hong Kong.
In 1992, Li Zhiyi turned to the business world to develop, but unexpectedly the market changes, a loss of years of savings was lost.
Who will fill the big hole? Naturally, jet Li is in love with the soup fire.
However, at that time, Jet Li himself was muddy and crossed the river, facing a situation where it was difficult to move. The first is the pressure to survive being held back by various forces and embattled.
Jet Li just became popular because of "Huang Feihong", turned his head and broke up with Jiahe because of the contract remuneration, and neither side refused to give in. Thanks to the big brother Cai Ziming in the circle, he came forward to act as an agent for Jet Li, thus helping Jet Li to balance the contract and restore his freedom.
How to know that the good times were not long, after the incident, Cai Ziming was assassinated, so that Jet Li, who has never been afraid of the sky, was soft for the first time.
In order to save his life, he had to find an umbrella and turned to Xiang Huaqiang, the big man of Yongsheng.
At that time, the film market also put great pressure on Jet Li.
Unwilling to settle the role, Jet Li took out his own Zhengdong company and filmed works such as "Fang Shiyu", "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Jingwu Hero" and so on.
Although the reputation of the results is good, it cannot be ignored that in the same period, Zhou Xingchi's film split the popularity of attention.
1992 was the highlight of Stephen Chow's film career, Hong Kong's annual fifteen-grossing films, Chow star-chi occupied seven seats, and its momentum was so fierce that Jackie Chan and Jet Li were afraid of three points.
Under the plague of multiple pressures, in those years, Jet Li still took time out of his body and mind to shoot many movies for Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng Company. And the superstar is willing to play at a low salary, and more than 70 million yuan is taken to pay off the debt to Li Zhi.
The situation of the continuous rotation was ended until jet Li broke into Hollywood. Jet Li originally did not expect that he could break into the North American market. Because his Black Man only sold 13.2 million in Hong Kong.
But the film was released in North America three years later, earning more than $10 million a month at the box office, and the disc sold out of stock. In this regard, Jet Li's international popularity soared, and his value doubled.
04
If there is no "overseas popularity", Jet Li may have to "sell himself to work" for a longer time. In order to make up for the loss of his girlfriend, the weight of his shoulder burden makes people lament the greatness of the power of love.
In love, the contrast is also cruel. At that time, Huang Qiuyan maintained a family alone in the United States, and shortly after giving birth to a child, she received a divorce call from Jet Li.
A few years later, Li Zhi became pregnant, and Jet Li refused Ang Lee's invitation to accompany his wife throughout the delivery period. And the movie he gave up was the fire of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was so hot that it broke the box office record of Chinese films in North America.
Once, Huang Qiuyan loved Jet Li. Later, Jet Li became obsessed with Li Zhi. Spectators may blame Jet Li for his ruthlessness toward his ex-wife, not understanding that he loves Elizhi tirelessly, and even made a vow: "I can ruin all the so-called future for her." ”
But this is the paradox and insoluble of love.
In addition, the proposition of "meeting a loved one after marriage" is becoming more and more hotly discussed today thirty years later.
When encountering love, some people obey their instincts, and some people give up implicitly. The pursuit of love, the common sense of man. However, whether to adhere to the original "commitment responsibility" has become a personal choice.
The young girl asked Jet Li: "Is the promise to be fulfilled, or is it broken?" ”
Jet Li replied that the original words were like this: "The world I have been looking at is half and half, and good men are also half, but don't say boys, girls are the same, she is also adjusting."
As for I love you, the sea is rotten, this thing basically does not exist, there is that I love you, I do everything I can to operate every day, every day to operate, this is possible.
If he betrays me, that's the mistake of my choice, to learn more about men, to know more about the world, to choose the other fifty percent, you have the right to choose, you can't just ask others, not yourself. ”
This period of heart sharing sounds like Jet Li's self-adrangement of wrong words, and when you think about it, the complexity of human nature and human feelings cannot be clarified.
Money is easy to calculate a cent, feelings are difficult to determine right or wrong, everyone should have the initiative to choose, it is best to keep themselves in it, in order to reduce the harm from their partners and from the outside world to a certain extent.
In 2015, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan appeared at the "Shaolin Kid" party, which was a collaborative film between the two in their youth.
Later Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan, no longer holding hands and walking together, can still be decently in the same frame, meet a smile, the sea and the sky. But if it weren't for the fact that many years later, people would still pay attention, and the years would quickly erase this dusty and short-lived love affair.
Because in the impression of many people, only heard the romantic story of "Jet Li's infatuation with Li Zhi". I don't know if there was a girl named Huang Qiuyan, who was distressed that the little master and brother did not have new pants to wear, and after practicing, invited him to go to his home and eat a full and hot meal.
