1. Starred in "Shaolin Temple" and became famous overnight
Born on April 26, 1963 in Beijing, Jet Li had two older brothers and two older sisters.
When Jet Li was two years old, His father died in the line of duty.
Mother Li dragged her 5 children and struggled to survive.
In 1971, at the age of 8, Jet Li entered the Shichahai Sports School in Beijing to study martial arts.
In 1980, the movie "Shaolin Temple" was preparing to shoot, and director Zhang Xinyan entered the Beijing Shichahai Sports School to cast, in fact, Zhang Dao had an ideal candidate in mind, that is, Jet Li.
Jet Li, 17, has won the national martial arts championship for seven consecutive years.
Kung Fu is very suitable for the needs of the protagonist of "Shaolin Temple", Jueyuan Monk, who dares to fight and fight.
At that time, Jet Li was 17 years old, although he was not very tall, but the young man was young and sunny, energetic, handsome and masculine.
When Jet Li filmed "Shaolin Temple", he was very hard-working and dedicated.
Once, Jet Li practiced fighting with his opponent, and was stabbed in the forehead by an opponent, and the blood flowed.
Jet Li tried his best to make a light and breezy appearance, let the doctor accompanying the team give a few stitches, and then put into practice again.
After the release of "Shaolin Temple", the praise was overwhelming.
"Shaolin Temple", which has a dime ticket price, has reached a box office record of 161578014 yuan, to be concise, more than 160 million.
Overnight, martial arts athlete Jet Li became popular and became an irreplaceable idol in the hearts of countless audiences.
2) The price of success is scarred
The glorious laurels have always been woven with thorns.
Jet Li, who became popular overnight, received countless letters from flowers and fans, including many courtship letters from girls.
Sacks of letters and flowers piled up in the ward, Jet Li lay on the hospital bed, looking at the enthusiastic gifts of fans, a little dazed, no sense of happiness.
Jet Li did not celebrate well, why was he lying in the hospital?
It turned out that when filming "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li, who was not well injured and newly injured, often ignored the injured body in order not to delay his work.
After the filming of "Shaolin Temple" was completed, Jet Li, who returned to Shichahai Sports School, as soon as he saw his classmates practicing collectively, he immediately joined in with great energy.
While practicing leg splitting, Jet Li cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
The coach and classmates quickly took Jet Li to the hospital.
Doctors rushed to perform seven-and-a-half-hour surgery on Jet Li.
Jet Li's long-term filming, real combat filming work, resulting in Jet Li is very injured: the medial ligament is broken, the cruciate ligament is broken, the meniscus is broken...
More than ten days after the operation, Jet Li's attending doctor went to visit Jet Li in the ward.
Jet Li asked with some anxiety: "Doctor, when will my leg be fully recovered?" ”
The doctor mused a little, "Lian Jie, I can only guarantee that you can walk now." ”
Jet Li frowned slightly: "If I go to exercise again, what will be the consequences?" ”
The doctor folded his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Break again, operate again." ”
Jet Li gritted his teeth, broke the casserole and asked the end: "What about doing it again?" ”
The doctor told the truth: "If you break too badly, the tendons will not be picked up, and you will fall to your knees when you walk." ”
The doctor's unconcealed words were like a smouldering stick that slammed into Jet Li's head.
After a short period of despair, Jet Li secretly thought: His life is wasted like this? Has my fledgling dream of cinema come to naught?
Jet Li thought bitterly for several days and nights, and finally he made a bold decision to take a great risk and have a second operation.
Since then, Jet Li has been filming with bandages and gritted his teeth.
3, silly boys are not actually stupid
The news that Jet Li's leg will be disabled has not gone away, and the flowers and letters sent to him by Jet Li's fans have decreased day by day.
Jet Li looked at the legs that could not walk normally, and his mood was sad and depressed.
At that time, Jet Li's sister Huang Qiuyan saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.
Huang Qiuyan, who was impatient, rushed to the hospital every day to accompany and take care of Jet Li.
Jet Li looked at Huang Qiuyan, who carefully took care of him, looked in his eyes and was touched in his heart.
After the second surgery, Jet Li recovered.
He co-starred with Huang Qiuyan in two films, "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin".
With these two films, Huang Qiuyan became a well-known martial arts actress.
Huang Qiuyan has always liked Jet Li, and the two have played a passionate lover on the screen.
Huang Qiuyan decided to confess to the love of Jet Charming, the Prince charming in her heart.
Huang Qiuyan bought wool and personally knitted a sweater for Jet Li.
A needle and a thread, full of Huang Qiuyan's tenderness, unlimited love and longing.
When Jet Li took the sweater knitted by Huang Qiuyan, he just said thank you softly, and then he bowed his head with a red face.
The picture of countless Jet Li's thanks in Huang Qiuyan's mind fantasized and emerged, warm and romantic.
The reality is that Jet Li added a shy expression in addition to a non-salty and non-light thank you.
The gap is huge.
Disappointed, irritated... All kinds of complicated and inexplicable emotions mixed together and surged into Huang Qiuyan's heart.
Huang Qiuyan stomped his feet, turned and ran away, leaving Jet Li with an increasingly blurred back.
Jet Li, who was not good at expression, was as warm as a sweater in his hand at that time.
Jet Li, who was touched to the extreme, had no long things and could not repay him, and decided to "marry" himself.
Jet Li proposed to Huang Qiuyan, and Huang Qiuyan agreed without hesitation.
In 1987, Jet Li married Huang Qiuyan.
4, willing to give her life for the love
A friend suggested that Jet Li cooperate with a Hong Kong company and become a director to make martial arts films.
Jet Li felt that his friend's suggestion was very reasonable, so Jet Li, who had only participated in three films, was both a director and a star, and shot his directorial debut film "Chinese Heroes".
The ideal is very full, the reality is very bone.
"Chinese Hero", directed and starring Jet Li, failed miserably at the box office.
Jet Li's new character image and acting skills have been ruthlessly complained about by the audience, and domestic directors no longer regard Jet Li as the golden sign of the box office of martial arts movies.
Jet Li decided to change the environment and go far away to the United States for development.
After arriving in the United States, Jet Li found that foreign countries are not the paradise on earth that he imagined.
With no relatives and no language, everything has to start from scratch.
Not to mention how to develop in the film industry, even the most basic survival has become a problem.
Jet Li opened a martial arts gym and taught foreigners kung fu.
In 1984, Luo Wei, the owner of Luo Wei Film Company, found Jet Li and invited Li Lian to play Li Guonan, the male number one of the film "The Dragon in the End of the World" produced by his company.
Luo Wei is a well-known director in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee's "Tangshan Big Brother" and "Jingwumen", both of which were directed by him, and later Luo Wei set up his own portal and founded Luo Wei Pictures Company, becoming his own boss.
Jet Li agreed without hesitation, because he realized that this was a perfect opportunity for him to turn over.
Jet Li, who took over the male number one of "The Dragon at the End of the World", would not have thought that it was this movie that changed the direction of his life, and his emotional life took a big turn.
In addition to the starring jet Li, "The Dragon in the End of the World" also has well-known actors such as Stephen Chow and Di Wei, and the female number one is "a rare beauty in 50 years" (Hong Kong novelist Ni Kuang) Li Zhi.
Born in Shanghai in 1961, Lee Chi moved to Hong Kong with his father at the age of 20 and later went to the United States to study.
She was the winner of the second Miss Asia in Hong Kong.
Li Zhi, who stepped into the film and television circle through beauty pageants, developed smoothly all the way.
When Jet Li first saw Li Zhi, he fell in love at first sight and fell into the mire of love.
Li Zhi tianzi national color, a smile like a breeze blowing through the fragrance of jasmine.
Li Zhi, who has traveled south and left the north and left the ocean, has an extraordinary temperament, and everything about Li Zhi makes Jet Li intoxicated like a spring breeze.
Ah, it turns out that this is the true taste of love!
The night Jet Li met Li Zhi, he completely lost sleep, tossed and turned for a long time, and his heart was surging with excitement.
This wonderful taste of love, Jet Li has never experienced from Huang Qiuyan.
Many years later, when Jet Li first saw Li Zhi, his eyebrows were still stretched, his heart was full of flowers, and he was sincerely happy.
Jet Li sighed: "When you really understand love, you find out that this person, I am willing to pay for her life, all the names are not wanted, the profit is not wanted, si is not afraid." ”
Jet Li is very fond of Li Zhi, but Li Zhi is very cold to Jet Li, and even ignores him.
Li Zhi's suitors have gone more, and Ho Hongshen is her suitor.
Li Zhi's coldness did not scare away Jet Li, who was obsessed with love.
During the filming of "The Dragon at the End of the World", Jet Li was considerate of Li Zhi's care.
Li Zhi was thirsty, Jet Li smiled and handed him a drink; when shooting outdoors, Li Zhi was sunburned, and Jet Li propped up his coat to send a refreshing shade to Li Zhi.
Nice, nice.
"Jet Li is still quite good at taking care of people." Li Zhi looked at Jet Li after running around him, and his heart surged with some emotion.
Touched, there is no return, then chat.
From the life of the mainland to the life of the United States, from the life of the United States to the poetry and songs of the wind and snow, the ideal of life.
Two young hearts, the closer they talk, you and I, the corners of your eyebrows are full of smiles that you know me and I understand you.
The scene is proud, the career is frustrated.
After the release of "The Dragon at the End of the World", it failed miserably at the box office.
Jet Li returned home in the United States, but his mind was at Li Zhi's side.
Everywhere in his eyebrows was the shadow of Li Zhi shaking, and the more he longed to see Jet Li, who could not see Li Zhi, his mood was restless, and his temper was getting bigger and bigger.
With the box office failure of "The Dragon at the End of the World", Jet Li's film career once again fell to the bottom of his life; at the same time, his long-cherished Li Zhi was not around, and everything was terrible for Jet Li.
5, love is like a fish drinking water
In 1989, The Hong Kong director Xu Ke, who was studying film production in the United States, heard that Jet Li was idle at home in the United States, and visited and invited Li Lian to perform the martial arts film "Huang Feihong" directed by him.
Jet Li realized that this time playing Huang Feihong, either turned red again and stepped into the film world again, or he was devastated and had no chance to step into the film world.
Jet Li did his homework to star in "Huang Feihong".
Jet Li xiangxiang studied the life deeds of Huang Feihong, a martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, as well as Huang Feihong's personality, and so on.
Jet Li also designed a unique action for Huang Feihong when he appeared, which not only increased the character characteristics of Huang Feihong, but also portrayed Huang Feihong's master's style, which played the icing on the cake.
After the release of "Huang Feihong", it was deeply loved by the audience and achieved unprecedented success.
Since then, the "Huang Feihong" series of movies starring Jet Li has achieved good results.
Jet Li, with the success of "Huang Feihong", successfully opened a road to the martial arts superstar.
Jet Li's focus has also shifted from the United States to Hong Kong.
Jet Li, who arrived in Hong Kong, had more opportunities to meet Li Zhi, who was looking forward to day and night.
The feelings of the two are also in frequent contact and gradually heat up.
At that time, Jet Li also had a problem: he and Li Zhi were good, what should his wife Huang Qiuyan, who was far away in the United States, do? Is it too unfair to Huang Qiuyan that I did this?
But after the entanglement, Jet Li's thoughts of Li Zhi's one day without seeing each other are like three autumns, and they are growing uncontrollably.
Jet Li finally understood that for his wife Huang Qiuyan, he was more touched than love.
For Li Zhi's love, Jet Li can dedicate everything for her, and can give his life for Li Zhi at all costs.
In 1990, Jet Li divorced Huang Qiuyan, ending their short 3-year marriage.
The two daughters they have, Li Si and Li Momi, are all raised by Jet Li, and their property in the United States belongs to Huang Qiuyan.
Huang Qiuyan, born in Beijing in 1961, is Jet Li's classmate and sister, a well-known martial arts star. He has starred in the films "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin".
Huang Qiuyan was born into an artistic family, and huang's father and mother were the first generation of dance artists in New China.
After divorcing Jet Li, Huang Qiuyan changed her career to study beauty, opened a barber shop for a living, and later became a beautician.
Huang Qiuyan married Mr. Wang, whose ancestral home is Shandong, and lived a life of ordinary love in the United States.
Jet Li and Li Zhi fell in love for 10 years, and in 1999, they ended their love run and entered the palace of marriage.
Jet Li and Li Zhiyu have two daughters, Jane and Jada.
Jet Li fell in love with Li Zhi at first sight and turned away from Huang Qiuyan, who had accompanied him through the trough of life.
Huang Qiuyan's affectionate companionship for several years was not as good as Jet Li's love at first sight with Li Zhi.
Jet Li's love for Huang Qiuyan is more touching than love, and Jet Li's love for Li Zhi can give his life.
Love is like a fish drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge.
Justice is in the hearts of the people, not self-explanatory.
