introduction
On August 15, 1991, Li Lian's performance of "Huang Feihong's Ambition" was released in Hong Kong, which sold for 29.67 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and the image of Huang Feihong, who is strong in martial arts and chivalrous, is deeply imprinted in people's hearts and caused a sensation in the market.
Jet Li, who previously experienced Shaw's termination of his contract and his departure from the United States, fell into a slump of nearly two years.
This is the first of Jet Li's "Huang Feihong" series of movies, and after its launch, Jet Li has once again become hot and become a kung fu star in the film circle.
However, the heroes on the screen are far less dashing in reality than in the movie, and at that time, Jet Li was being made a mess by the signed company.
At this time, a person was killed halfway and helped him get out of the predicament,
Become Jet Li's agent.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > a short-lived knight in white</h1>
Previously, Jet Li's agent was David Luo, who signed a two-year contract with Jiahe for 6 million Hong Kong dollars, but was "calculated" by David Luo and the other party. Seeing that the contract expired and Jiahe only paid half of it, Jet Li not only failed to negotiate a salary, but also withheld his passport, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to, making it clear that he was "bullying" you.
If you don't give money, you have to start work as usual, Jet Li has a bitter word.
At this time, a man named Cai Ziming appeared and came forward to help Jet Li deal with Jiahe and Luo David. This person is powerful, so that the other party has to submit to soft, not only to help Jet Li successfully terminate the contract, but also to return the other party's arrears of 3 million pieces of remuneration. Cai Ziming's righteousness made Jet Li quite grateful and agreed to let Cai be his agent.
Cai Ziming's identity is mysterious and his energy is quite large, but there is little knowledge about his situation in the jianghu. It is said that Cai is a big circle boy born in Guangzhou, who earlier contracted renovation projects in Hong Kong, and then went to the Netherlands to earn a lot of money and returned to Hong Kong to become a film investor.
The two sides talked very happily together, when they were preparing to shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn" tailored for Jet Li, the night before they were still talking to Jet Li about the shooting plan, and the next morning, they were shot in the head at the office door.
When the news came, Jet Li was momentarily confused.
Jet Li, who was standing on the edge of life, realized that the storm experienced in Jiahe was only a prelude to the big wave, and the lifebuoy handed over by Cai Ziming was taking him into the abyss.
The front is unknown, but can be determined.
There were at least two powerful forces that were circling around him and stirring up the rivers and lakes.

Rough and rough undercurrents
Jackie Chan later said in an interview: "We all know who it is, but no one has evidence."
Cai Ziming had 14K connections very early on, and the assassin of Cai had a new Ngee Ann background.
Previously, Cai Ziming and the 14K godfather "Beard Yong" partnered to establish the Fuyi Film Company, "Beard Yong" style is tough, adhere to the war to stop the war, the jianghu reputation is quite high. Cai Ziming has a European side of the capital plume, the work is also thunder and bold, the two join hands, full of pride and desire to fight in the film circle.
A few days ago, Chen Zhiming, nicknamed "Mad Dog", came to the door to provoke, with an extremely arrogant attitude, and almost directly exchanged fire with Cai Ziming at the Regal Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Chen Zhiming was originally a new Yi'an Dazai, and when he talked to Cai Ziming, he said that he had the support of the head office.
Two years ago, Cai Ziming made a "Booming Dragon and Tiger Club", the film invited Liu Jialing and Hua Tsai, it is said that the two were invited to shoot by special methods, but the other party was not too embarrassed, afterwards also gave the film remuneration, the reason is that the two have a contract, can not casually take other company films, Cai Ziming came up to pull people.
Shortly after Cai Ziming was killed, Huang Langwei, another film investor with a 14K background, was sent by chen Yaoxing, the "Tiger of Wan Chai", to kill him. It is said that Huang Langwei clashed with Mei Yanfang in KTV, called Xiang Tai for help, Chen Yaoxing brought hundreds of horses to come out for Mei Yanfang, the next day, Huang Langwei was ambushed and cut, and three days later he was attacked and hung up in the hospital.
At that time, the entertainment circle of Xiangjiang could be described as constantly stormy and everyone was in danger. Someone went to Yongsheng to name it to dig up Star Ye, the copy of "Family Has a Happy Affair" was almost snatched before it was released, and Jackie Chan was threatened on the set...
There are rumors that Chen Zhiming was bribed by David Luo and went around wreaking havoc, and there are many opinions in the media.
It can be seen that after Cai Ziming and Huang Langwei, "Beard Yong" and "Dove DEE" with 14K backgrounds have withdrawn from the film circle one after another, and "Beard Yong" reflected that "we should not touch unfamiliar industries." ”
In other words, it is the depth of the water and the caution of the line.
In the turbulent years, the gangs all wanted to get into a piece of the pie, when The victory and the fledgling were not strong, and only 14K on the jianghu could break the wrist with the new Ngee Ann. Wu Mengda once said that there are big guys who put on sacks of money and ask Tuofa to shoot a play; and there may be more unknown things under the surface of the water.
However, judging from the results, this jianghu fighting method is that one side wins and the other side withdraws.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > all that doesn't beat you will make you stronger</h1>
Interestingly, the day Cai Ziming was attacked was the day of the release of Huang Feihong's second "Boys Should Be Self-Reliant", I don't know if it was a coincidence or a special meaning.
Jet Li said in an interview that that period was the darkest time in his life.
But he was still grateful to know the former broker, remembering what he said, "People want eggs, not chickens, chickens are gone, eggs can not be eaten." "Behind the seeming madness, it is actually very rational.
After a certain age, people's feelings will gradually fade, become cold or strong; after experiencing certain things, separation and farewell are inevitable that should be looked down upon, cruelty must also be experienced, there is no need to be sentimental.
From a certain time, everything becomes rushed, there are too many things to do, there are too many problems to solve, instead of thinking so much and complaining so much, it is better to do your best to do one or two things well.
After the storm, it is growth.
Jet Li also decided to give it a go, set up Zhengdong Film Company, starred in a number of films as a producer, and achieved his own golden age, portraying classic roles such as Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Wuji, Chen Zhen, Zhongnanhai bodyguard, including Huang Feihong's fourth iron chicken fighting centipede in 93 and Huang Feihong's fifth Western Lion in 97.
Before Jet Li and Jiahe had a dispute, it was when Huang Feihong's third lion king battle was filmed, Jiahe was unwilling to perform the arrears of the film remuneration, Cai Ziming came forward to negotiate, and Jiahe promised to pay the remaining 3 million yuan before completing the shooting.
Subsequently, Jet Li experienced an unforgettable life nirvana.
