Chapter 5 Chapter Three

"Shaolin Boy" was also a sensation in the film industry in the early 1980s. Among them, the heroine who fought fiercely with Jet Li was his childhood sweetheart.When the junior sister saw her senior brother as a young hero, she was in love with her for the first time, with infatuation buried in her chest, and she looked at Lianjie with affection.One day, Jet Li understood her heart, the two tied the knot, and their first love blossomed and bore fruit. Jet Li, whose career was at a low point, was depressed for a while, but fortunately, his first girlfriend, Huang Qiuyan, came to his side. She accompanied Jet Li through the difficult days with the gentleness of a woman and the strength of a warrior.

Huang Qiuyan was born in 1961, two years older than Jet Li, and was born in a military art family. Her father's name is Huang Boshou, and her mother's name is Chen Lianghuan. They are the first generation of ballet dancers trained in New China. Huang Qiuyan has a lively and cheerful personality, treats people warmly, and likes singing and dancing. Many relatives and friends said Huang Qiuyan was a good piece of dance material when she was young. Her parents originally hoped that she could learn dance and inherit their careers. Both Huang Boshou and Chen Lianghuan, who were intellectuals, were hit.In order to avoid any twists and turns in their daughter's life in the future, Huang Boshou and his wife agreed to send Huang Qiuyan, who is in elementary school, to Shichahai Sports School to learn martial arts.

Since then, Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li have been assigned to a martial arts class. Later, they became professional martial arts athletes together. They spent their study, practice and life in the school. Playing and playing, it can be said that Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li grew up together as "childhood sweethearts". Although Huang Qiuyan has not won the national martial arts championship, she has won the women's snake boxing and swordsmanship championships in Beijing. Her body is very flexible, has a strong sense of rhythm, has a certain performance nature, and has rich expressions, but as a martial artist For athletes, strength and strength are not enough.

When Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan were in school, as they grew older, their relationship was a bit ambiguous, neither like a relationship nor like a brother and sister.This situation did not undergo a qualitative change until Jet Li was invited to film "Shaolin Temple". Huang Qiuyan's love for Jet Li surfaced and became stronger and stronger. After Jet Li was invited to film "Shaolin Temple", Huang Qiuyan was always distracted when practicing alone in the practice room every day, always thinking of Jet Li in her mind, and she gradually realized that she fell in love with Jet Li.

According to Huang Qiuyan's father, Huang Boshou, recalled: At that time, Qiuyan talked about Jet Li more often when she went home, and often praised Jet Li, but at that time I didn't know if they were in love, I only noticed that she had a strong affection for Jet Li. When Jet Li was filming "Shaolin Temple", Huang Qiuyan already had a salary in the sports school, but she sometimes asked us for money every month. She often bought things and went to Jet Li's house to visit his mother, but Huang Qiuyan did not mention her relationship with her parents. Jet Li's relationship.

After Jet Li finished filming "Shaolin Temple", his leg was broken during training. The doctor said that Jet Li was in danger of becoming permanently disabled. Huang Qiuyan was dying of anxiety. She ran to the hospital almost every day to visit and take care of Jet Li. At this time, Huang Qiuyan told her parents that she and Jet Li fell in love.At that time, Huang Qiuyan had a deep affection for Jet Li and took care of Jet Li very much in life. Sometimes Huang Qiuyan would take some of the delicious food bought at home and send it to Jet Li. With the care of his girlfriend, Jet Li recovered quickly. Jet Li was grateful for Huang Qiuyan's care, and the relationship between the two began to become clearer.

Soon, "Shaolin Temple" hit the air, and the box office soared all the way. Director Zhang Xinyan saw a wave of martial arts craze all over the country, so he decided to make another martial arts movie, which was later known as "Shaolin Boy". "Shaolin Boy" was originally called "Dragon and Phoenix Village", which tells a legendary story: Once upon a time, two families named Long and Feng lived on both sides of the Lijiang River.The Bao family in Fengcun has eight daughters, and the Long family has eight boys.The two families are both martial arts families, and they do not get in touch with each other because of the views of the family.The children of the two families often fight because of the influence of the feud. However, during the fighting, the eldest son of the Long family and the eldest daughter of the Feng family secretly develop feelings for each other.

A gang of bandits is entrenched on the Leiming Mountain of the Lijiang River. In order to dominate the mountain forest, the leader of the bandit, Bald Eagle, tricks the relationship between the dragon and the phoenix and even plots against the daughter of the phoenix family.When Bao Shengfeng's family was in distress, the Long family came to help.The two families worked together to defeat the bandits, and they reconciled ever since. Director Zhang Xinyan came to Beijing again after confirming the filming plan, first found Wu Bin, and said to Wu Bin: ""Dragon and Phoenix Village" decided to use the original cast of "Shaolin Temple". Due to the success of "Shaolin Temple", Hong Kong and many The country is already closely watching all the filming of this film, so this film can only succeed, not fail, old friend, I am under a lot of pressure."

Wu Bin smiled and said, "What pressure do you have? "Shaolin Temple" was a success, how could "Shaolin Boy" not be successful?" Zhang Xinyan said: "This film is different from "Shaolin Temple". It is a martial arts comedy. The actors can not only fight, but also perform. Secondly, this film needs a heroine. It's hard to find such an actress who knows martial arts, you have to help me find such a person." Upon hearing this, Wu Bin said, "I'll take you to the martial arts team to see if you can find one." While chatting, the two came to the training hall of the martial arts team.In the bright training hall of the Beijing Wushu Team, male and female martial arts athletes practice martial arts freely.Director Zhang sat on the chair next to him and scanned the female athletes. After a long time, he stopped his eyes on a female player with a well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, and neat movements. neat.

Director Zhang said to the martial arts team coach Wu Bin who accompanied him, "What's that man's name?" Wu Bin: "She is Jet Li's junior sister, named Huang Qiuyan, who was also taught by me. She is an excellent athlete in the team and is good at snake boxing and swordsmanship." Director Zhang looked at it again and thought he was good. He decided on Huang Qiuyan as the heroine in his heart, but he didn't say anything.After leaving the sports school, Zhang Xinyan came to Jet Li's house again, took out the script from his bag, and said to Jet Li: "Now you are recuperating from your illness while reading the script. After you are done, I will send someone to pick you up." Filming "Dragon and Phoenix Village"."

Jet Li nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Xinyan also said: "In "Shaolin Temple", you have successfully portrayed the image of a young monk who possesses special skills and can eliminate violence and peace. Different types of characters. When filming "Shaolin Temple", you don't have any acting skills, and you can perform on your own, but this film is different. "Dragon and Phoenix Village" is a martial arts comedy, and your performance is very important. I hope you read the script well and think more about how to shape this character." After director Zhang Xinyan finished speaking, he showed him another copy of "Basic Acting of Film Actors". Zhang Xinyan's words gave Jet Li great inspiration. After filming "Shaolin Boy", he talked to reporters about his pursuit of film art: I was not mentally burdened when I made the first film, but now I have added pressure to make the second film.Because everyone has high demands on me.The characters in the film I am going to shoot have complex personalities and inner worlds, not as simple as the little monk in "Shaolin Temple".I should strive to broaden my play style and create more images with different personalities. Just when Zhang Xinyan was talking with Jet Li, Huang Qiuyan came. Her appearance surprised Zhang Xinyan. Why did she come here? Jet Li introduced to him: "Director Zhang, she is my girlfriend, her name is Huang Qiuyan. We have been together since we were young." Just in a martial arts team." Jet Li's introduction made Huang Qiuyan blush with shame, but Zhang Xinyan was overjoyed. Zhang Xinyan thought, what the film wants are couples, it's God's will, God's will.He couldn't help saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay!" Hearing Zhang Xinyan said yes, Jet Li had an idea and said, "See if he can play the heroine in "Dragon and Phoenix Village"." Zhang Xinyan immediately said: "Okay, come to audition tomorrow." Huang Qiuyan was very happy to hear that, and went to the audition the next day. The audition went well, and the matter of the heroine was settled like this. In the summer of 1983, Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li went south with the crew.The train clanged powerfully along the Beijing-Guangzhou line, the longest railway line in my country at that time, and the woods and mountains passed by the car window. Fragrant and rich breath.Huang Qiuyan looked at the scenery outside the window, snuggled up to Jet Li, sweet feelings welled up in her heart. Soon, they came to Lijiang River, Guangxi, where the location was filmed, and devoted themselves to intense shooting work. That was the happiest period of Huang Qiuyan's life, not only accompanied by green mountains and green waters, but also by the people she loved.She smiles every day. Today we watch "Shaolin Boys", and we can still feel Huang Qiuyan's sense of happiness, which is a feeling from the heart. In 1984, the movie "Shaolin Boy", which also caused a great sensation.Huang Qiuyan also became famous in one fell swoop and became a well-known film and television star. After the filming of "Shaolin Boy", the feelings of the two people were different. There seemed to be something in their hearts, and love sprouted in both of them. Afterwards, this love continued to expand and gradually occupied both human heart. At this time, public opinion also played a role in fueling the flames. After the movie "Shaolin Kid" was released, people were also very interested in this "young couple" and began to pair them up. As long as the two of them stood in front of each other, people laughed and said that they were married. The two were also in their 20s at the time The person is gone, the love sinus has opened.This statement embarrasses them instead.The two of them also felt awkward walking on the road, and they had to keep a distance.Although Jet Li is very good at wielding knives and guns, he is a very shy person in terms of emotions. Not only did he not dare to touch Huang Qiuyan, he didn't even say a few words of love. As Jet Li became more famous, everyone became more interested in his love life, and often inquired about her and Huang Qiuyan.Although there was no hype at that time, whenever someone asked about such a thing, Jet Li didn't know how to deal with it, and he was a "dumb", standing there stupidly, letting his face blush up to the base of his neck. Huang Qiuyan didn't dare to mention these emotional matters, for fear of spoiling it if she mentioned it, she liked Jet Li very much in her heart, and she buried this love deeply in her heart.The reason why she likes Jet Li: one is that he has a good temper, and the other is that he is a young hero.Which girl does not worship heroes? What's more, Jet Li has always been the idol that many girls dream of. After Jet Li made a movie, his handsome appearance and chic skills captivated many girls, courtship letters came like snowflakes, all of which conveyed their affection to Jet Li.Huang Qiuyan was both happy and worried about this.Being able to live with Jet Li has become Huang Qiuyan's expectation, but like all traditional girls, although Huang Qiuyan is infatuated, she is ashamed to confess. After seeing Jet Li, she is just silent. Only then did the light burst out with affection, waiting for Jet Li's pursuit, waiting for the arrival of that marriage. After "Shaolin Boy", Huang Qiuyan thought, should she hint to Jet Li that it is better to pierce this layer of paper, then what should I use to pierce this layer of paper?It took Huang Qiuyan a lot of thought, and finally, she came up with a way to knit a sweater. After making up her mind, Huang Qiuyan spent a whole winter knitting a sweater for Jet Li. The sweater was finely woven and strong, and Huang Qiuyan woven all the tenderness into it.In China in the 1980s, girls knitting things for boys was the most common act of showing love, as a token of love passed on.When Huang Qiuyan gave the sweater to Jet Li, Jet Li opened the door, took the sweater, said thank you and then said nothing. He completely lost the vigor in the film and on the field, blushed and kept silent.Seeing his dumbfounded appearance, Huang Qiuyan was both happy and angry, and left the room angrily. During this meeting, Huang Qiuyan didn't even take a sip of boiling water from the beginning to the end. Jet Li was holding the sweater, and there was a huge emotional wave in his heart. He was deeply moved by Huang Qiuyan's infatuation. Huang Qiuyan loved herself neither for fame nor for profit. Her feelings for herself were completely from the heart.Taking this into consideration, Jet Li tried to accept this feeling. Once this piece of paper is pierced, it is no less than a hole in the emotional embankment, and the flood of love will flood, drowning both of them.The two of them stayed together all day, listening to the morning bell and evening drum, watching the sunrise and sunset. In 1986, due to the success of "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Boy", Hong Kong producers saw this situation and decided to make persistent efforts to make another Shaolin-themed film.This is the later failed work - "North and South Shaolin". The plot of "North and South Shaolin" mainly tells about the northern Shaolin monk Zhiming (played by Jet Li) and the southern Shaolin lay disciple Sima Yan (played by Huang Qiuyan) who coincidentally come to assassinate Lord Hesuo on the birthday of Lord Hesso to avenge his father.Unexpectedly, he was besieged and managed to escape with the help of his companion Zhao Wei.Chi-ming discovers that Sima Yan has the same silver bracelet as his own, and realizes that she is his fiancée, but because he has converted to Buddhism, he cannot recognize her.Later Sima Yan was captured by He Suo, Zhiming and Zhao Wei finally killed He Suo and rescued Sima Yan with the help of the masters from the North and South Shaolin.In the end, Zhiming handed over the silver bracelet to Zhao Wei and left alone.There is a love story interspersed in this film, which is the most innovative highlight of the film. The main actors of "North and South Shaolin" are still the original cast of the first two films, and the director is Liu Jialiang, who is famous for filming "Thirty-six Chambers of Shaolin".The production of this film is stronger than the previous two in all aspects.But things turned out to be contrary to expectations. After the film was released, the response in Hong Kong was mediocre. The reason is that the craze for Shaolin Kung Fu movies has passed by this time, and even the mainland at that time has lost its glory.In addition, this film is also flawed, the theme of the story is flat, it only focuses on fighting, the scenes are chaotic, and there is no artistry. The failure of "North and South Shaolin" woke up Jet Li. His image as a Shaolin kid is no longer pleasing to the audience. He has to find his new position, a new screen image, so what is the new screen image?Jet Li was in deep thought. While thinking about his position on the screen, Jet Li was also thinking about how to deal with his relationship with Huang Qiuyan, whether to marry or not, whether to marry this year or next year. In the spring of 1987, these two questions were put in front of Jet Li. He wanted to have a result. In June of the same year, Jet Li suddenly said to Huang Qiuyan: "We have known each other for so long, should we get married?" Hearing this for the first time, Huang Qiuyan was a little shocked, and then she was so moved that tears flowed from her eyes. Years of anticipation finally had a result.Before that, she proposed to Jet Li many times, but Jet Li did not reply for a long time.This time, she didn't expect Jet Li to take the initiative. She stepped forward to hug Jet Li and said emotionally, "When shall we go to register?" "Just this month." "Then how can I prepare in time? My parents don't know." Huang Qiuyan said doubtfully. "You know, I don't have much money now, and the money I earn from filming is subsidized to my family. Let's register first, and we will hold a wedding banquet later." Considering the difficulty of her lover, the generous Huang Qiuyan agreed. Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li registered their marriage hastily without informing their parents.After registration, Huang Qiuyan told her parents that she and Jet Li were married, and she did not hold a wedding banquet or ceremony, nor did she tell any relatives or friends. Parents don't understand their behavior a bit, but there's nothing they can do about it.Now that her daughter has found someone she loves, although it is simple, it is also a great thing.Huang Qiuyan's mother, Chen Lianghuan, said to her daughter: "Qiuyan, you are two years older than Jet Li. After you get married, you may suffer some grievances in life, and the relationship between husband and wife is also difficult to deal with. You have to take care of him, and I will follow him." Huang Qiuyan didn't take it seriously when her parents said that their husband-wife relationship was difficult to deal with. She said, "Lian Jie and I have practiced and studied together since we were young. We understand each other very well. As long as we have a deep relationship, the age gap will not become an obstacle in life." After marriage, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan lived in an old house on Deshengmen Inner Street in Beijing. It was an inside and outside room. Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li lived in the back room, and Jet Li's mother lived in the outer room. The area of ​​the two rooms was less than 20 square meters. The newly married days were peaceful and happy. Huang Qiuyan was a new wife and she was very happy to be able to marry Jet Li.She said to her friend: "The two of us have been practicing together for 20 years, and our relationship has developed naturally. Our life is plain and monotonous, very real, and not so romantic. As long as I am with him, I feel happy, because he has a good temper and personality." Soon after the marriage, Jet Li moved to the United States in order to seek career development. At first, Jet Li had little activities and always stayed at home. The couple lived happily ever after. Soon after they got married, Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li went to other places to film, and Jet Li did not visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law at home. Jet Li's mother and eldest sister came to Huang Boshou's home to recognize relatives on his behalf.Huang Boshou and his wife thought that since their daughter was married to Jet Li, the in-laws should walk around, so they took the initiative to visit Jet Li's house. At that time, Jet Li's mother cooked some dishes and had a light meal, but Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan were not there. After Jet Li returned to Beijing, he came to Huang Qiuyan's house once. He carried his things into his father-in-law's house, sat there silently, and didn't even call his parents. Huang Boshou didn't care about it. He felt that Jet Li had a bit of a psychological disorder and a little inferiority complex. In the autumn of 1987, after the failure of "North and South Shaolin", a friend encouraged him to cooperate with a Hong Kong film company to shoot martial arts movies. With curiosity, Jet Li embarked on the road of directing. After some preparations, the new film directed by Jet Li started shooting Yes, the title of the film is "Chinese Heroes". Jet Li did not expect that it was this film that brought his life into the darkest moment. The plot of "Chinese Heroes" takes the time of the Sino-Japanese War (1945) as the background. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiaojie is a soldier who has experienced many battles. There is no news of the platoon leader Zhang, and Xiaojie has no choice but to wander the streets to find out that the U.S. troops stationed in China are arrogant and defiant, showing off their power in the streets, and the common people dare not speak out.The U.S. military car rampaged and almost hit a wounded Chinese soldier. The crowd stopped the car and burned it to vent their anger. They were beaten by the U.S. Army. Xiaojie was so angry that he stepped forward and knocked down several U.S. soldiers and an American boxer Bei Li, Bailey held a grudge, and set up a trap to make Xiaojie a target for boxing training, and he couldn't fight back. He took the opportunity to beat Xiaojie severely. Give it a go, and in the end, Xiaojie returns victorious. Jet Li was both the director and the lead actor in this film, and he was overwhelmed by various affairs. What's more, he had only made three films, so he didn't have enough foundation and experience to handle scenes.Many scenes in the film are handled very confusingly. Regarding this, Jet Li was worried, and his health was very poor. Huang Qiuyan was very anxious seeing her husband getting thinner day by day, so she put down all her affairs to take care of Jet Li's life and assist him in his work.At that time, some production crews asked Huang Qiuyan to act in a play. For example, the movie "Thirteen Girls" asked Huang Qiuyan to play the protagonist Thirteen Sisters, and the TV series also invited her. These plays became a sensation later, but Huang Qiuyan refused all of them because of Jet Li. One day, when Jet Li was shooting a film, he suddenly had a dull pain in his abdomen. Jet Li has been able to endure hardships since he was a child. At the beginning, for the progress of the film, he held back the pain, kept silent, and never showed it in front of others. Only then did he go to the local hospital for a checkup. The local doctor could not see any symptoms in him. Jet Li immediately remembered Zhao Xuequn's words, thought it was a relapse of an old disease, and immediately called her to make a diagnosis. Zhao Xuequn came from Beijing without saying a word, and treated his illness with traditional derivation methods, and he recovered soon.After Jet Li recovered from his illness, Zhao Xuequn said to him: "You really can't exercise anymore, otherwise, you will be in danger of dying at any time." Faced with the doctor's warning, Jet Li said: "I will finish filming "Chinese Heroes" no matter what, and I will do nothing after filming." Huang Qiuyan was in a hurry, and cried, "How can you not listen to the doctor? You don't want to take pictures, okay?" Regardless of the advice of his doctor and his wife, Jet Li took a short rest for a few days, and then devoted himself to the intense filming.After several twists and turns, "Chinese Hero" was finally released, but due to its inherent inadequacies, the film that exhausted Jet Li's efforts suffered a fiasco, and his brand-new image did not please the audience. The mischievous and vigilant Shaolin monks. The failure of Jet Li's "Chinese Hero" has external reasons besides the film itself.After several years of development, the new martial arts film created by Zhang Xinyan has gone from its peak to its decline.In Kung Fu movies at this time, the martial arts scenes were always filmed in a vague way, pursuing the beauty of form, and an actor without martial arts skills could still fight vigorously and with rumbling noises.Jet Li, who possesses martial arts, is no longer favored by the director. In addition, in the late 1980s, the fifth generation of directors rose rapidly, literary films became popular, and martial arts films cooled down rapidly. Zhang Yimou produced masterpieces such as "Red Sorghum" and "Ju Dou", and director Chen Kaige produced other excellent works.With the cooling of martial arts films, people began to gradually forget about this smash hit star. After the failure, Jet Li once again faced the problem of where to go.At this time, going abroad became a craze. Newspapers and magazines at that time were all talking about going abroad, and various reports about going abroad also emerged in endlessly.A friend of Jet Li said: "Now your film career has entered a trough, you have to change." "What are you going to do?" Jet Li said. "Go to the United States to teach boxing for a living. Since Bruce Lee set off a kung fu craze in the United States, many people in the United States want to learn Chinese Kung Fu." Jet Li thought about it, this is also a way. In 1988, Jet Li took Huang Qiuyan, who was seven months pregnant, to the United States in the name of a government research fund, and came to Los Angeles to develop a career. They bought a house in the suburbs of Los Angeles with a loan, and Jet Li opened a local boxing gym , to teach boxing for a living, while Huang Qiuyan took care of his daily life at home. When Jet Li was living in the United States, he fell in love with reading ancient literature. He liked to recite Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" the most. Every time he recited this poem, he would feel a heroic feeling in his heart.Because he liked this poem, Jet Li also created a set of "Manjianghong Fist" based on "Manjianghong".After this set of actions is played out, it is very imposing: Upper section Angry and rushing to the crown (knee raised and fist punched) Relying on the railing (empty step to frame a fist) Xiaoxiao (cut palms and lift legs) rain Rest (lung step left push palm) Look up the eyes (lung step right push palm) Looking up to the sky and screaming (raise your knees and press your palms) Strong and excited (step up and fly) Lie (lung and high five) Three (empty step and palm pressing) Ten (vibrating feet and hammering down) Fame (bow top top elbow) Dust (lung step and clap palm) And the soil (stand up and press the palm) Eight thousand miles (push the palm with empty steps) Road (lung step punch) Yunhe (jumping "Xiaozi") Moon (lung step fight) Don't Wait (False Step Attack) It's white (raise knees and clap hands) Young man (big leap, step forward, waving palm) head (independent posture) Empty and sad (pressing palms together) lower paragraph Jing (putting palms together) Kang (false step and flashing palm) Shame (raise knees and palms) Not yet (single step up and clap your feet) Snow (Lung step cross-cut palm) ... Mr. Li Dachong, a famous martial artist, watched Jet Li's "Red Fist of the River", and he was so happy that he praised: "Jet Li is really a genius!" Li Dachong was born in Hong Kong and originally from Enping, Guangdong. He practiced martial arts hard since he was a child, and went to the United States to teach boxing in the late 1960s. On April 6, 1968, Huang Yaozhen held a joint martial arts performance with him, which caused a sensation in America, and was selected as one of the top ten outstanding martial artists in the United States by the authoritative American martial arts magazine "Kung Fu Mystery". In 1987, Master Li was overjoyed when he learned that Jet Li had come to the United States to teach Chinese martial arts. He made a special trip from San Francisco to find Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan, and chatted with them cordially and asked about their health.Although Master Li is a stranger in a foreign land, he does not lose the love of his hometown in three springs.When he finally left, he repeatedly told the two of them: "You two should take care of yourself, you can't help yourself in the rivers and lakes." Soon, Huang Qiuyan gave birth to a daughter named Li Si, and two years later gave birth to a son named Li Taimi.During this time, the lives of the two were poor and peaceful. From a kung fu star that attracts everyone's attention to a martial artist who opened a boxing gym, the peaceful life made Jet Li feel a little uncomfortable. When will he make a comeback?Jet Li, who lives in seclusion in the United States, is thinking hard about his way out, silently waiting for the goddess of opportunity to come. Soon, the famous Hong Kong director Luo Wei appeared and sincerely invited Jet Li to make "The End of the Dragon".Luo Wei is a senior figure in the film industry. He directed Bruce Lee's first two works "Brother Tangshan" and "Fist of Fury". "Dragon in the End of the World" is a work of Golden Harvest Company. It describes a Chinese martial arts champion who went to the United States with a delegation to perform martial arts. Because his brother defected and killed a policeman, he was implicated and forced to flee.Just when he was desperate, he met Zhou Xingchi, a young Chinese man. Zhou was his admirer and hid him at home.Zhou Xingchi is the kind of person who always dreams of getting rich. Once in a gun battle with gangsters, he accidentally got a pack of heroin. He thought that the opportunity to make a fortune came, so he wanted to sell drugs through his friends. Unexpectedly, the gangsters found out and knocked on his door. Come, kill his uncle who depends on each other.Jet Li, who was out, was very shocked when he came back. He asked Zhou Xingchi for the reason, and unexpectedly learned that the boss of the gang was actually his senior brother Dewey. Break into the bandit's nest, fight against the bandits, and kill Dewey and the black killer sent by his backstage boss. From the filming of "Dragon in the End of the World", Jet Li had two major gains. First, he met David Luo and started a cooperation with Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company; second, he met Li Zhi and started an unforgettable love. Because of the cooperation with Luo Wei, Jet Li met Luo Wei's son David Luo on the set. The two are close in age, so they are very close. David Luo is a senior person in the Hong Kong film industry, who specializes in recruiting acting talents and acts as their agent.After he went to the set of "Dragon in the End of the World", he met Jet Li and saw his martial arts moves. He was very surprised and thought that he was a piece of rough jade that could be forged and would shine brightly in the future, so he wanted to catch Jet Li and act as his agent. people. After the filming of "The End of the Dragon", David Luo approached Jet Li.Say: "Hello! Miss Lee, do you still recognize me?" The two got to know each other during the filming of "Dragon at the End of the World", but they didn't have a good in-depth conversation. Seeing David Luo greet him, Jet Li responded repeatedly: "Mr. Luo, how dare you forget!" "What's the matter tonight?" David Luo said. "It's all right. What's the matter with you?" "No, let's go drink and eat together?" Jet Li thought he was fine, so he went together. That night, the two talked very late and happily.Since then, Jet Li and David Luo have been in frequent contact. After dating for a period of time, one day, David Luo told Jet Li that his mother Liu Lianghua was very interested in Jet Li and invited him to his home as a guest. Liu Lianghua is one of the major shareholders of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company.After listening to what David Luo said, Jet Li thought for a while and accepted her mother's invitation. Jet Li did not expect that from then on, he would have an indistinct relationship with Golden Harvest Company. David Luo brought Jet Li to the house. The living room of the Luo family is spacious and bright, full of modern atmosphere. Liu Lianghua is a slightly affluent woman. When she saw Jet Li, she held out her hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Li is truly a matchless man in the country. He is not only a Chinese martial arts master, but also a well-known international martial arts star." Jet Li hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare, dare not." After finishing speaking, he was speechless. David Luo saw that Jiezi was a little embarrassed, so he changed his mouth and said, "Let's drink some tea", and then made a cup of "oolong tea", handed it to Jet Li, and said, "Please drink tea, this is specially brought by my mother from Beijing. Only willing to take it out when entertaining distinguished guests!" "Thank you!" Jiezai took the steaming tea. Seeing Jet Li's down-to-earth temperament, Liu Lianghua felt that he was easy to deal with, so he said to Jet Li: "Mr. Li, I heard David talk about your situation, and I think it's a waste of your talent to do such a thing. You It needs careful building and packaging by the company. Two days ago, I approached the directors of Golden Harvest Company and talked about your situation. They said, as long as you are willing, Golden Harvest is willing to cooperate with you. What do you think? "Liu Lianghua said his the meaning of. "How can we cooperate with Golden Harvest Film Company?" Jet Li said. Liu Lianghua said: "Signed a two-year contract with Golden Harvest, and acted in four films, with a salary of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars each." Jet Li thinks about it, although the salary is not a lot, but he has just settled in the United States and needs a lot of money to buy a house and support his family, 1.5 million yuan is enough to deal with this.Thinking of this, he readily agreed. Hearing that Jet Li agreed to the conditions, Li Lianghua was very happy. She said: "What kind of payment method do you need? Golden Harvest Company can pay the remuneration for four films in one lump sum, which is equivalent to borrowing Golden Harvest's money first, and you can also install it in installments." Pay, pay once for a movie, how do you see it? Before this, Jet Li had heard some friends say, don't borrow money from Golden Harvest, it will be troublesome after borrowing, and they can control their artists by borrowing money.Therefore, Jet Li said euphemistically: "Now I am not very short of money, so I will settle the bill accordingly, and I will only get paid when the show starts." Li Lianghua saw that Jet Li did not enter this circle, so he had no choice but to give up. At this time, David Luo, who was standing aside, saw that the time was ripe, so he said to Jet Li: "I have been in the industry for many years, I am familiar with Golden Harvest, and I have a lot of research on the broker's business. If Mr. Li Don't mind; I can apply to be your agent." Seeing David Luo's request to be an agent, Jet Li agreed, because if you don't ask him to be an agent, you have to be someone else, why don't you find someone with a little background to be an agent. After a period of time, David Luo asked to sign a 10-year agent contract. Since the relationship between the two was very good at the time, Jet Li still agreed to him, because he felt that if everyone made money, he could also take this opportunity to make films wholeheartedly. . "Dragon at the End of the World" not only gave Jet Li a good start in his career, but also made his love blossom. The cast of "The End of the Dragon" is very strong, besides Jet Li, there are also De Wei and Li Zhi.Jet Li met Li Zhi, Miss Asia at this time. Li Zhi was born in Shanghai in 1962, and his parents both graduated from the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy.When I was very young, my parents parted ways.She grew up under the care of her father. Since she was a child, she was lively, intelligent, charming, and good at singing and dancing. Li Zhi, native of Guangdong, was born in Shanghai on the last day of December 1962. Lizhi's parents are both engaged in the arts.They studied at the Conservatory of Music, and they are all top students of the Conservatory of Music. Their common hobbies and career pursuits made them come together and become an enviable couple.Unfortunately, when Li Zhi was still an ignorant three-year-old child, her parents separated, and her custody was awarded to her father. The special growth environment has made Lizhi very independent since he was a child, and his personality is extremely strong. He likes to do things in his own way and is very assertive. In 1981, Li Zhi moved to Hong Kong with his father and lived with his stepmother.After she arrived in Hong Kong, the first job she found was as a salesperson in a furniture store. Soon, she realized that Hong Kong is a less warm, more competitive and fast-paced place.When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I had no language skills, no friends, my father often traveled on business, and I didn't know my stepmother very well.Li Zhi once again felt the pain of loneliness in the contemptuous address of "Mainland Girl".But she is not a girl who gives up on herself, and she is definitely not a conservative. She is not satisfied with being a good salesperson in a furniture store. The genetics of a natural artist and the influence of the environment make her dream of breaking into the famous "Art Garden" in Hong Kong. Rivers and lakes". She didn't believe that there would be no place for her in Hong Kong's art world, so she went to New Art City Film Company to apply for the test shot.However, New Art City Film Company did not appreciate her, saying that she was too rustic and rejected her. Finally, one day she made a decision.She found her father and said in a firm tone: "I want to study in the United States!" She first chose to arm herself with knowledge. Looking at his daughter's serious face, the father said: "Reading is a good thing, of course I agree. The question is, is your English level good?" "From now on, I will start learning English." Lizhi is determined. "Okay, as long as you can go to college, even if dad saves money, he will support you." The father also looked serious. Therefore, Li Zhi, who had been living in Hong Kong for two years, returned to the Huangpu River in people's surprised eyes. She hired an English teacher, but it was not a well-educated old gentleman, but a college graduate who was waiting to be assigned from the foreign language department of a university. 两个半月后，利智回香港参加“托福”考试。 1983年，利智孑然一身飞往大洋彼岸，在旧金山大学攻读商业经济学，开始了留学生涯。 在读书的时候，一个极偶然的机会，利智请学校的一位历史老师去唐人街喝茶，随手翻开桌上的报纸，一则醒目的消息映入眼帘：香港举行亚洲小姐选美活动。 主意已定，倔强的利智义无反顾，心中揣着美丽的青春之梦，搭上了从旧金山飞往香港的国际航班。 1986年5月，她经过初赛筛选，被评为“美态小姐”进入决赛圈。就在这时舆论纷纷，说利智是某财阀包的情妇，形象妖娆，有风尘感等。但是利智对此却不在乎，她踌躇满志，以为凭着自己的美貌和才华取得胜利名正言顺。她忽略了香港与内地的不同，心口如一，直言无惧，得罪了许多媒体和公众。媒体愤愤不平地表示，这个上海女孩太狂妄自大，目中无人了。 ８月31日，第二届亚洲小姐决赛结果揭晓时，35号利智当选！台上的利智端庄、秀丽、典雅、娴淑中，又透着野性美，尤其是身材堪称极品。而媒体并没有因为她的胜利而对她另眼相看，司仪宣布她夺冠的那一刻，全场嘘声一片。利智含着屈辱的泪水接过亚洲小姐的桂冠。 选美成功之后，她立即实现了当演员的梦想，拍了电视连续剧《貂禅》。1987年在《群莺乱舞》、《老虎出更》、《古屋藏娇》中担任角色。经过一番磨练，利智的片酬已升至前五名。1989年，利智不满自己在演艺圈的成功，开始进军商界，她在大陆投资纺织生意，另在日本、韩国、美国都有小的投资，成为影圈数一数二的富婆。 1989年在美国拍《龙在天涯》时，无论电影界还是商界，她已是颇有名气的人物。她被小说家倪匡称为“五十年难得一见的美人”，令许多人心驰神往，要一睹利美人丰采。在电影界的成绩，使她很受欢迎，日本人评价利智：成熟、高贵、模样清甜、身材一绝、甚有气质。 《龙在天涯》开机后，李连杰一见利智，眼前顿时一亮，利智举手投足都让他心神荡漾。因为两人同是来自内地，一个是在８０年代便已为人知的中华英雄，一个是正当红的绝妙美女，哪能不一见倾心呢？只是李连杰个性害羞，那种一见而拨动的情弦，并没有发生声响，只是藏在了他心里。这正合他的个性，因为他平日比较朴实，所经历的生活也都是正统的环境，没有一般人在女性面前的自然大方。这阻碍着他正常的异性交往。这样的个性，就更容易在一见之下产生感情而不能自拔。见面之后的那一夜，李连杰失眠了，晚上躺在床上心潮澎湃，辗转反侧。李连杰意识到，自己爱上了利智，这么强烈的爱从来没有在黄秋燕身上产生过。 李连杰后来回忆道： 因为在遇到利智后，我发觉对她的爱，可以让我付出一切名利、地位，甚至生命，有一种豁出去的感觉，但对于前一段感情，我还是没有那种感觉，还不明白到底什么是爱。 拍《龙在天涯》的时候，李连杰决定追求利智，他找机会跟利智的交流，但是，此时的利智对他有防备之心，不给他什么机会，李连杰觉得这个美丽的上海姑娘身上有一股子天生的傲气，很不容易接近，于是改变策略，耐心地迂回前进，通过心灵的交流引起利智的好感，通过细节上的关爱让利智动心。不久，利智就有了反应，觉得李连杰不仅帅气还很关心人，是一个好男人，再加上两人都来自大陆，有许多共同语言。熟识以后，利智不再设防，像对亲人一样把自己的烦恼都告诉了他。两人开始频频约会。 嗅觉灵敏的狗仔队对他们两人的频繁活动马上作出了反应，纷纷撰文说他们两人有拍拖的倾向。一时间，小道消息满天飞，连远在美国的黄秋燕都知道了。 《龙在天涯》公映后，遭到了失败，李连杰的现代形像也遭到了抵毁，在电影形象的认同之上，观众不易接受也不习惯。 《龙在天涯》的失败让李连杰很沮丧，他回到了美国，眼中看着黄秋燕，心中想着利智，无所适从。他的脾气也开始坏起来，整天烦躁不安，动辄发怒。 家里一时阴云密布，郁闷的空气浓得化不开。李连杰知道，总有一场暴风骤雨会来到这个家庭。
