Chapter 7 Chapter 5 Running wild with heavy loads and struggling to fight life

In 1992, Jet Li lived through hope and hardship, and three mountains weighed on him: a dispute with the company, the death of his new manager, and paying off debts for Li Zhi.Under heavy pressure, Jet Li did not flinch, summoned up courage, and assumed the responsibility of being a man. After a year of hard work, Jet Li walked out of the swamp of life and began to welcome the dawn of life. In the spring of 1992, the filming of Huang Feihong's sequel "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" was finally completed.Jet Li was relieved from his fatigue, he secretly dated Li Zhi, Li Zhi escaped the entertainment reporter's tracking, and came to the place where they met, a high-end hotel in Victoria, Hong Kong.

After Jet Li and Li Zhi established a relationship, the two often chatted together.They were surprised to find that the two had striking similarities.They all like a simple life. When they have nothing to do, they would rather sit at home, read a book and chat. They all like snacks and noodles, but not sea cucumbers and shark fins.So many similarities brought their hearts closer. Although they had a good understanding, none of them dared to disclose it easily.In this scandal-ridden showbiz, there are waves without wind. If they really fall in love with each other, they must be prepared to bear all possible disturbances and rumors.Therefore, although they are in love with each other, they try to maintain a simple friendship.

After Jet Li saw Li Zhi, joy surged in his heart, he stood up and shook hands with Li Zhi briefly, they dare not be too intimate, entertainment reporters in Hong Kong are like spies everywhere, once there is any excessive move , and hit the headlines the next day. Jet Li said: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days. The filming of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is finished today. How have you been these few days?" Li Zhi pouted as soon as he heard it, and said, "No, why don't those paparazzi in the newspaper always say good things about me, it annoys me so much."

Jet Li laughed haha, and said pitifully: "You have to know, this is the way of the world, not to be envied by others is a mediocrity. Some people say you can only show that you are excellent." "When everyone talks about you like that, you can't build up your self-confidence anyway. You always think that there is something wrong with you." "You must have encountered something troublesome recently." Jet Li, who is good at observing people's hearts, said while staring into Li Zhi's eyes. "No." Li Zhi avoided Jet Li's gaze, lazily picked up a piece of meat with a knife and fork, and started to eat it.

"Just tell me, if you don't tell me, I'll panic." After hearing this, Li Zhi felt warm in his heart, and told him everything in his heart. "A few days ago, according to the script and the director's request, I had a bold performance in the play. I think that since I have entered this industry, such things are always inevitable, but this time, my heart became inexplicably irritable, and I couldn't Calm, but can't explain why." After a pause, she said, "I don't want to make this movie." Jet Li said: "Yeah, it's that kind of vase-like role again. It's quite boring. If you don't want to play it, forget it."

Li Zhi suddenly realized that all her worries were because of Jet Li, and now she really cared about what Jet Li thought of her.She asked cautiously, "Do you care if I act like this?" Jet Li said without thinking: "I don't care, I don't like to see you have any intimate behavior with other men, even if it's acting." After listening to Jet Li's words, Li Zhi's heart was sweet and sentimental.The person in front of him is really in love with her, otherwise he wouldn't be so serious, but does their love really have a future?Li Zhi has seen a lot of people in the entertainment industry getting together and parting, and he is still not sure about this relationship, has no confidence, and is not sure.

Li Zhi recalled the words of his friend Chen Lan. Chen Lan is the wife of movie tycoon Xiang Huaqiang and also from Shanghai. She and Li Zhi are fellow villagers. She is not only very familiar with Li Zhi, but also very familiar with Jet Li. When filming "Shaolin Temple", Just play the heroine.One day, Li Zhi accidentally mentioned Jet Li to Chen Lan. Chen Lan knew about her relationship with Jet Li. Looking at this young girl, she said meaningfully: "Jet Li is an out-and-out good man. Such a man has Not much more, I wonder which girl is lucky?" Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help asking Jet Li: "Will you love me forever?"

Although he had been married once, Jet Li's face still turned red. In terms of expressing his feelings, he has always acted more than words. Jet Li said nah, "Yes." After the words came out, Jet Li felt that he could not express his heart yet.Jet Li said to her again: "I make a promise to you, we will fall in love like this, if the relationship between you and me has not changed after ten years, you will marry me, and we will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives, okay?" Li Zhi was very excited when he heard this confession: "Are you sincere?" "I am serious."

Li Zhi lowered her head blushing.At this moment, she made an amazing decision.Li Zhi thought that he had also been making movies for several years, and it seemed that he had no possibility of becoming a superstar, so he turned around and devoted himself to the business world and took care of his career wholeheartedly.Li Zhi said: "In the past, I didn't feel embarrassed when I played those vase roles and made people smile, but after I met you, I don't want to play such roles again. I feel sorry for you and myself for acting emotional scenes with others every day. " Jet Li knew that Li Zhi had long intended to withdraw from the film and television industry. He was very happy to hear that she quit for herself, and said pitifully, "No matter what decision you make, I respect your choice. You don't have to worry about money when you are in business. From now on, I will give you all my income, and my money will be at your disposal from now on."

Li Zhi knew that Jet Li didn't have much money at this time.When he divorced, he left everything to his ex-wife and daughter, and he started from scratch with almost nothing. Li Zhi said: "In the future, you will develop in the film industry, don't think about other things. But I want to warn you, you can't be too intimate with female stars when making movies." Jet Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." In 1992, Li Zhi held a press conference to publicly announce his retirement from acting, thus quitting the showbiz.At that time, many people felt sorry for her. She was in the limelight in the entertainment industry, and she had great hope to become a first-line actress, and her future was limitless.But Li Zhi has made up her mind to go, and with a sincere love as her bottom line, she no longer takes these vanities seriously.She made an agreement with Jet Li that for the sake of Jet Li's development in the entertainment industry, they would not disclose their relationship.

Li Zhi, who quit the showbiz, immediately threw himself into the business world and started his own new business. In 1992, Li Zhi took out all his savings and invested 10 million to build Haiyun Garden in Shandong.Unexpectedly, the investment failed, and Li Zhi not only lost all his money, but also owed a lot of debts to the bank and friends. For a time, Li Zhi was besieged on all sides. In order to help Li Zhi pay off his debts, Jet Li relied on his fame to find some rich businessmen he knew before to borrow money. He thought that these people who used to be called brothers and sisters would lend a helping hand, but he did not expect that these businessmen pushed left and right. He also refused to lend him a penny.For the first time, Jet Li understood what the world is like, and he also clearly realized that no one is the savior, and everything can only be done by himself. He approached the boss of Hong Kong Yongsheng Film Entertainment Company and signed a two-year contract to make 6 films, stating that the salary for each film was only 12 million Hong Kong dollars, but there was an additional condition that the boss of Yongsheng Film Entertainment Company paid him 36 million yuan first. deposit.After getting the money, Jet Li immediately made an appointment with Li Zhi. The two still met in a high-end hotel in Victoria. After a lot of trouble, Li Zhi's face turned pale and haggard. Jet Li said heartbrokenly: "This is the end, you don't have to be too sad, there are no obstacles in life that you can't get over." Li Zhi supported his head and said dejectedly: "I don't think I can pass this test. Tens of millions is not a small amount. Where can I find it?" Jet Li took out a check for the deposit and said, "I'll give you the money, maybe you can deal with it." Li Zhi didn't know that Jet Li had signed the contract and said to him: "Where do you have money?" She took a look and saw that it was 36 million. She was surprised and said: "Where did you borrow so much money?" Jet Li smiled and said: "This is not borrowed, this is my selling money." So he told Li Zhi how he signed a two-year contract with Hong Kong Yongsheng Film Entertainment Company to make 6 films.After hearing this, Li Zhi threw himself on Jet Li and burst into tears, crying out all the grievances and pains he had suffered while doing business, tears soaked Jet Li's clothes.Jet Li hugged Li Zhi, stroked her back with his hands, and said: "Since you are in love, you should promise each other with your heart." At that moment, Li Zhi felt that it was not a person who relied on him, but a mountain. After spending the money, Lizhi immediately flew to Shandong and returned the money to the bank and friends. After solving Lizhi's problem, Jet Li devoted himself to the intense work of filming. Jet Li's third film about Huang Feihong is "The Lion King". The first two episodes of "Huang Feihong" directed by Tsui Hark set the background of the story in Guangdong in the south of Lingnan, but "The Lion King" moved to Beijing. The lion dance in the big scene gives this series of movies a new look.However, in terms of the theme, it still clings to the era when the Manchu Qing national power was weak, but the Chinese people still kept fighting among themselves.The plot describes that the Empress Dowager Cixi encouraged the folks to practice martial arts in order to deal with the foreigners with strong ships and guns.Prime Minister Li Hongzhang ordered the holding of the "Lion King Conference" to convene martial arts figures from all over the country to gather in the capital to fight for the reputation of the Chinese Lion King.However, the conference has not yet been officially held, and the martial arts schools of various sects have secretly recruited troops, and infighting continues.Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Feihong joined forces with other martial arts figures to request the cancellation of the Lion King Conference, but to no avail.In desperation, Huang Feihong had no choice but to participate in the competition in person in order to prevent a greater tragedy from happening.In the finale, various designs of lion dances were colorful, and the scene was quite lively and impressive. Compared with the first two episodes, this film is much inferior. First of all, the theme of the performance has been downplayed. In the scene, Aunt Thirteen's ardent pursuit of the head, Mo Shaocong's two hundred and five seems funny, but it always gives people a sense of chaos. It is worth mentioning that the image of Huang Feihong's little apprentice Guijiaoqi appeared for the first time in the film, and it was played by Xiong Xinxin, who played the role of "Jiugong Zhenren" of the White Lotus Sect in the second episode. After filming "The Lion King", Jet Li and Tsui Hark temporarily broke up. Soon after, Jet Li appeared in Wang Jing's new film "Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede". The content of "Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede" is: One day, Huang Feihong Went to the tea house with all the apprentices to drink tea, and saw the father and daughter doing takeaway art.Huang Feihong admired him very much, so he ordered his apprentice to send the reward.The father and daughter came forward to thank him and recognized him as the famous master Huang Feihong.At night, the father and daughter overheard two monks talking about Huang Feihong, and followed them to Nengren Temple.In the temple, the two found that the imperial police were discussing the strategy of human trafficking with the monks.The father and daughter were very surprised. They were discovered unexpectedly when they were retreating. As a result, the father was injured and the daughter escaped.The escaped daughter asked Huang Feihong for help, Huang Feihong was furious, and designed to eliminate the villains and rescue the father of the showgirl. "Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede" is a purely funny film, in addition to Jet Li's Huang Feihong who is serious, other actors such as Liang Jiaren as Liang Kuan, Zhang Weijian as Teeth Chasu, Chen Baixiang as a big teapot, and the heroine Anita Yuan used all means to make a fool of herself.However, the martial arts scenes are still very exciting, especially the first encounter between Jet Li and Lau Ka Fai who is also a member of the "Shaolin School". When Jet Li was filming the film "Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", there was a very interesting detail.He often couldn't figure out why the man in the film was expressing his feelings to a woman in the morning, and why he wanted to pursue another woman in the afternoon.When the director told him about the play, Jet Li couldn't figure it out and asked, "Why did he do this? Isn't it unnecessary? Love can change so easily?" The director couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't explain it to him, so he had to say: "You just need to act like this. They are not you but just characters." Jet Li had no choice but to act according to the director's intention, but he still couldn't get involved because he still didn't understand. Jet Li's fifth Huang Feihong film is "The Lion of the Western Regions", which is a combination of kung fu movies and American western movies.Directed by old partner Tsui Hark, with Sammo Hung at the helm, the story of Once Upon a Time in China is brought to the West for development. The concept is somewhat similar to Jackie Chan's "Who Am I".The plot describes that Master Huang went to the United States to inspect the Po Chi Lam branch opened by Toothbrush Su, but an accident occurred on the way, causing him to lose his memory, forget who he was, and once became an Indian warrior. By chance, Aunt Thirteen and others Reunited with Huang Feihong in a small western town, the two met as if they had never met each other.Guijiao tried everything possible to restore his memory, the two of them knocked over the water storage bucket during the struggle, Huang's head was hit again, and he was able to recover miraculously.At this time, a group of bandits attacked their village and town. Huang Feihong and the others rose up to resist and defeated the bandits who were armed to the teeth. They established a tall image of the Chinese among the locals who discriminated against the Chinese. Jet Li played Huang Feihong five times in a row, and has become the authentic Master Huang after Kwan Tak-hing in the audience's mind.In fact, there is still a big difference between the two. First of all, in terms of image, Guan Dexing is more like Huang Feihong himself, while Jet Li is a typical northerner and never wears a melon hat; A pair of crystal glasses.Secondly, in terms of martial arts, Jet Li practiced northern kung fu, long bridges and big horses, flips and jumps, and his moves are stretched and beautiful; Guan Dexing was born in a drama martial arts student, and he practiced southern kung fu, which is vigorous and short, and his performance is not so generous.Thirdly, in terms of character, although they are all calm and sophisticated, Guan Dexing's sexuality always explodes when he can't bear it, but Jet Li will take action when it is time to do so. Since the success of "Once Upon a Time", all kinds of Huang Feihong have appeared frequently. It is indisputable whether they are true or false. Before filming, he was a student of the Beijing Institute of Physical Education, a champion of martial arts and rhythmic gymnastics. He is 1.76 meters tall, handsome and handsome, and he is as heroic as Jet Li. Tsui Hark used Zhao Wenzhuo to film the fourth episode "Once Upon a Time" and the fifth episode "Huang Feihong: The King of Hegemony". The former is a companion chapter of "The Lion King". At the invitation of King Nalan Chengdu, he participated in the Lion Race held by the Allied Forces of Eight Nations. Although he won the game, it was still useless to save the country, and finally left sadly.The latter tells the legendary experience of Huang Feihong fighting the pirate Zhang Baozai with his disciples on the way out of the capital. Zhao Wenzhuo played Huang Feihong again, which attracted great attention from the entertainment industry. However, the two films starring Zhao Wenzhuo failed. To really accept him as Huang Feihong, he was not enthusiastic. Tsui Hark was not discouraged because of this. A few years later, he grandly launched a TV series "The New Biography of Huang Feihong" starring Zhao Wenzhuo. The film is divided into five chapters, namely "Eight Kings" and "Shaolin Stories". , "Headless General", "The Revolution of 1911" and "The Ideal Age".Among the familiar faces, except for Aunt Thirteen who was replaced by Shao Meiqi, the others were still from the original cast.This time, Tsui Hark used the filming method to make a TV series. The production was extremely meticulous and the effect was very good. Zhao Wenzhuo finally won the trust and favor of the majority of film and television fans, and became the best candidate for the latest generation to play Huang Feihong. If the Huang Feihong series of Guan Dexing, Jet Li, and Zhao Wenzhuo are authentic Huang Feihong films.Then, Huang Feihong directed or starred by other people is imitated or counterfeit. After the rise of "Huang Feihong craze", the shadow of Master Huang was everywhere in the Hong Kong film industry for a while.Films include "Young Huang Feihong" directed by Li Zhao, starring Qian Jiale and Lin Zhengying, "Ghost Foot Seven" starring Yuen Biao, "Su Qier and Huang Feihong" played by Wang Jue, and "A Man Should Serve the Country" by Zhang Xinyan, etc. department. The popularity of "Once Upon a Time" stimulated the Hong Kong film and television industry, and both sides of the Hong Kong River quickly set off an upsurge in the production of costume films.After Jet Li starred in "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening", considering that everything has its ups and downs, "Once Upon a Time" is not a subject that will always be popular. When there is always a defeat, he decided to transform and set his sights on other martial arts characters. Hope to dig out some value that can be used from them. One day, while chatting with Tsui Hark, Jet Li said: "The popularity of "Once Upon a Time" is about to reach its peak. We need to develop new martial arts characters. Only by innovating can we be undefeated." "Then what martial arts characters do you think would be good to make into a movie? I haven't thought about it." Tsui Hark still agrees with Jet Li's words. Jet Li said: "I think the story of Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu can be made into a movie. Both Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu are Guangdong heroes. They are admired as much as Huang Feihong. Movies featuring them should be able to sell well. Have you ever made a movie? Is it a Fang Shiyu film called "Burning the Red Lotus Temple"? That film is very impressive." After hearing this, Tsui Hark smiled and said: "In Hong Kong, Fang Shiyu and Huang Feihong are as famous as Huang Feihong. Many celebrities have played this role. But Meng Fei is the one who shoots Fang Shiyu's series more. He is handsome, The image is very consistent with the legendary Fang Shiyu, and the southern style of kung fu is also very authentic. He has acted in "Whirlwind Fang Shiyu", "Fang Shiyu Breaks the Plum Blossom Pile", "Fang Shiyu Hong Xiguan and Lu Acai" and other films. After the 1980s, Fang Shiyu had a new candidate. He was Xunfeng who participated in the filming of "Shaolin Temple".The stories of these two films are based on the Qing Dynasty novel "Wan Nianqing", which is very close to the folklore Fang Shiyu's story.Almost all of the partners are martial arts athletes, including Guo Liang, Chen Yongxia, Zhao Zhigang and so on.I think they did a great job. " Jet Li said: "What do you think of us developing this kind of film?" Tsui Hark pondered for a moment and said, "You can give it a try." In 1992, while starring in Huang Feihong's film, Jet Li also starred in three films featuring famous martial arts heroes. For a while, the images of Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan, Zhang Sanfeng and others flooded the screen.Each film has achieved good results. "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" is Jet Li's first film to present the story of the Guangdong hero Fang Shiyu. In the film, he changed from the old and prudent Huang Feihong to his former appearance, a simple and mischievous kung fu boy.Participating in the sports meeting and fighting with the little hooligans, he also went to join in the fun.His mother is a two-hundred-five-year-old, and she seems more ignorant than him, and the two of them can live happily.Unexpectedly, this peaceful life was disturbed by his stubborn father Fang De. He joined the Tiandihui, an anti-Qing organization outside, and was the liaison officer of the chairman Chen Jialuo, holding an important list of the Tiandihui in his hand.After learning the news, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty chased to the door of the house, arrested Fang De, and sentenced him to death. The purpose was to lure Chen Jialuo into the bait.Fang Shiyu couldn't bear to kill his father, so he went to the execution ground alone, and fought a fierce battle with the leader of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, with the help of Chen Jialuo, he won the victory. After the success of "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu", Jet Li starred in "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu sequel".Immediately afterwards, he filmed the sequel "Who and Fight". After filming "Fang Shiyu", Jet Li started filming "Hong Xiguan".Hong Xiguan is a martial arts figure of the same age as Fang Shiyu, and it is said that Hong Quan was first created by him.Directed by Yuan Kui and Wang Jing, the film tells the story of Hong Xiguan, a famous Guangdong martial arts master played by Jet Li, who was exterminated by the government.On the other hand, Ye Dexian and Qiu Shuzhen, mother and daughter of Laoqian, also made plans for the rich man, and started a relationship that turned enemies into friends with Hong Xiguan and his son. When Jet Li shaped Hong Xiguan's image, he changed Fang Shiyu's personality of being a teenager who didn't know how to feel sad, and became extremely cold and very responsible. The impressive part of "Hong Xiguan" is the first half. Action director Yuan Kui arranges Hong Xiguan's martial arts scenes and the relationship between him and his son to have a tragic atmosphere, but the gag comedy led by Wang Jing in the second half is glib , not much to look at. Even so, as soon as Jet Li's "Hong Xiguan" was released, it replaced Fang Shiyu and became the new favorite of the silver screen.Seeing that another martial arts character was released, other film companies immediately started to produce films about Hong Xiguan, so all kinds of Hong Xiguan appeared on the stage. Li Zhao, who directed "Young Huang Feihong", has always been a follower of Jet Li. Seeing that Jet Li made two films "Fang Shiyu" and "Hong Xiguan" in a row, he simply made a "Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu".Martial arts star Donnie Yen also took this opportunity to star in a 20-episode series also called "Hong Xiguan", and made the most exciting part of it into a video tape, named "Hong Xiguan Breaks the Mantis Fist". Due to following the trend too much, the film market about Hong Xiguan was soon saturated, so Jet Li had to think of a new path and look for new martial arts characters. Once, Jet Li passed by a video store and saw a TV series "Young Zhang Sanfeng", starring He Jiajin.He found the shop owner and asked, "Boss, is the TV series "Young Zhang Sanfeng" going to sell?" The boss said to him: "This movie is not bad, starring He Jiajin, it's selling well. Do you want one?" "Why are you interested in this movie?" The boss said: "Zhang Sanfeng can be a master of Taiji, his fists and feet are quite powerful, and he has the spirit of a fairy." This sentence touched Jet Li, and he asked someone to investigate Zhang Sanfeng's status in the hearts of the public. Zhang Sanfeng's status as the ancestor of internal boxing is deeply rooted in people's minds. "Young Zhang Sanfeng" has received a good response both in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland. .Jet Li decided to make a film about Zhang Sanfeng, and he called the new film "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". The story of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is: In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the people lived in hardship under tyranny and exorbitant taxes.Junbao and Tianbao grew up in Shaolin Temple, and they love each other as siblings. After Tianbao secretly learns advanced martial arts, Junbao is expelled from Shaolin.The two stepped into the colorful world, and after experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, Tianbao was eager to become an official and killed innocent people indiscriminately. the Grand Master. A strong cast adds luster to this film. Kung Fu star Qian Xiaohao plays Tianbao, who once played the protagonist in "Huo Dongge", with outstanding martial arts; the heroine is the first female Michelle Yeoh.In addition, actors Yu Hai and Sun Jiankui from "Shaolin Temple" also participated in the performance.The martial arts design of the film is also unique, novel and refined.Designers Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren used their own experience to create an original set of design techniques to show Tai Chi Kung Fu, so that the martial arts movements of the film not only inherit the traditional characteristics, but also are novel and innovative. The success of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" won more applause for Jet Li. At the same time, he encountered ups and downs that he had never experienced in his life. One morning in 1992, Cai Ziming strode out of the elevator and returned to his Fuyi company. When he was about to arrive at the Fuyi company, he only heard a few gunshots of "peng, bang", Cai Ziming fell down in the corridor, and he became Jet Li's manager Cai Ziming died after a few months. The murder of Cai Ziming shocked the Hong Kong entertainment industry. On the same day, the Hong Kong public opinion circle responded. The day after the murder, a reporter from "Tian Tian Daily" received a call from a man who claimed to be the killer. The killer, a native of Henan, was hired by a Hong Kong film producer to assassinate Cai Ziming with one million Hong Kong dollars, but only 500,000 afterward, so he felt aggrieved and exposed the matter. After the "Daily Daily" disclosed the matter, it was like a hornet's nest was disturbed. The scope of people's discussion began to expand, and the matter was raised to the height of gangster forces invading the entertainment circle. The fact is also the same. The Hong Kong film industry at this time is the time when gangsters infiltrate. Stephen Chow.Following the Cai Ziming incident, veteran filmmaker Huang Weilang was shot dead. It is said that this incident has something to do with Anita Mui, so she avoided the film and entertainment industry for a long time. For a while, Jet Li fell into the vortex of public opinion and was very depressed.Li Zhi saw his pain, and in order to resolve his distress, he showed tenderness and advised Jet Li not to think too much, just make a good movie.Jet Li followed Li Zhi's advice and devoted all his energy to his film career. Because this matter has aroused widespread concern in the society, the police set up a special case team to investigate. The relevant figures in the movie circle were all interrogated by the police, and Jet Li was the object of interrogation.In order to take care of his safety, the police sent special personnel to protect him around the clock. Jet Li moved out of his previous home in Mid-Levels and stayed in a hotel designated by the police. The police quickly questioned Jet Li in the hotel, and a policeman asked: "You and Cai Ziming are very good friends, do you know his background?" Jet Li said: "I only talked about movies with Cai Ziming. I don't know the background of it. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. If he didn't tell me, it would be difficult for me to ask." The policeman asked again: "You were still with him before the incident, what did you say?" Jet Li replied: "The night before the incident (that is, the 15th), after I finished promoting Huang Feihong's "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", I had dinner with Cai Ziming and chatted after eating. At that time, he was in a good state of mind. Okay, let's talk and laugh." "How many hours did you talk?" "We talked for about four hours." "What did you talk about?" The policeman looked at Jet Li with piercing eyes, not seeing him as a kung fu superstar at all. Jet Li thought for a while and said: "Cai Ziming's Fuyi Company was preparing to shoot "New Dragon Inn". He saw the martial arts scene in the sample film of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" and thought it was very good. He wanted to design some more innovative moves with me. , put it into his "New Dragon Inn", he said that the martial arts action of "New Dragon Inn" is to refresh the audience. At that time, he also talked about new ideas and ideas. In those four hours, we mainly talked about How to design martial arts movements." "What else was talked about?" "Cai Ziming finally said that he would strive to make a good film of "New Dragon Inn" and enter the international market. For this film, Cai Ziming also actively invited Stallone and Jet Li to cooperate. Stallone's agent said that there is no problem in principle, and he is just waiting to discuss specific matters. No After thinking about it for more than 10 hours, he will be in trouble." As he spoke, Jet Li's eye circles turned red. The policeman paused and said, "When did you find out about his death?" "At about 11:40 am on the 16th, I received a call from my friends saying that Cai Ziming was dead. I still didn't believe it. When it was confirmed that it was true, I was completely stunned. How could this happen?" After the police questioned him, they sent Jet Li out of the hotel, and sent someone to protect him secretly. The protection of Jet Li was not terminated until the matter gradually calmed down. Later, according to the police investigation, they said: "Judging from the guns used and the way they acted, it should be the work of foreign killers. Cai's killing may be related to a business in the Netherlands. In this business, Cai was a middleman and responsible for I found someone to bring the goods to the Netherlands and received 10 million yuan as a reward, but the delivery person never showed up in the Netherlands. The recipient thought that Cai was playing tricks, so he took revenge." Public opinion has two speculations about Cai Ziming's death: 1. Cai Ziming is a gang member in Holland, who made enemies with others, and others sought revenge to kill him, which has nothing to do with Jet Li.2. Cai Ziming was the head of Jet Li and became his agent. Some people who regarded Jet Li as a cash cow held grudges and plotted to kill him. The killing of Cai Ziming made Jet Li mentally and physically exhausted and depressed. He felt that the film industry was too complicated. As the saying goes: "Blessings never come together, misfortunes never come singly." 1992 was a year in which Jet Li's misfortunes and achievements, happiness and pain intertwined.Cai Ziming's matter is not completely over yet, and David Luo is looking for trouble again. As early as after Jet Li stopped filming, David Luo was afraid of Golden Harvest, and when he showed Jet Li that he was fine, he told his friends that Jet Li was really dishonest, and he said me when he showed his favor, it was like I was slapped by him for no reason , and he went away" When David Luo saw Cai Ziming was shot and died, he was secretly delighted. He thought that once Cai Ziming died, Jet Li would lose a big shade tree. He was alone and alone, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. David Luo immediately sued Jet Li, claiming that he breached the contract and demanded that Jet Li compensate for his losses. The house leak was hit by the night rain again. Facing David Luo's counterattack, Jet Li hated him to the bone and was furious. He called David Luo and said, "I am doing my best to you. I am suspending the contract with you, not breaching the contract. On this point you To be clear, I tell you, I have nothing to fear. Come if you want!" Afterwards, following Li Zhi's advice, he approached Jiahe's boss to put pressure on David Luo and knocked him down completely. He said to the officials of Jiahe: "Now, David Luo is taking this opportunity to make trouble again, and I hope you will discipline him. The contract doesn't mean anything. Just like a couple who get married and find that their personalities don't match, they can divorce. I have the confidence to go to court. If you want to cooperate with me in the future, tell him not to go too far." Officials of Golden Harvest had a secret discussion about this. One official said: "Jet Li is now famous and has an excellent box office appeal in Southeast Asia and even around the world, and is favored by many filmmakers.
