Chapter 10 Chapter 8 Playing a villainous role in Hollywood

In "Sky Cannon", Jet Li made his first appearance in a Western movie, and within 5 minutes, he shocked everyone. The mysterious Jet Li who appeared in a black suit won the favor of Westerners.In particular, countless foreign girls favored Jet Li's unique smile. Jet Li's smile was reserved and sinister when he played the role of villain, and the corner of his mouth was slightly curled, revealing infinite murderous intent, fully revealing the reserved temperament of an oriental man. After Jet Li expressed his thoughts to Yuan Heping, he returned to Hong Kong, waiting for the opportunity while tutoring English.A few months later, Jet Li received a call from Yuan Heping. Yuan Heping said: "Jet Lianjie, the directors of "The Matrix" and the Wachowski Brothers (Wachowski Brothers) are your fans. Zu Shuluhua, the producer of the show, strongly recommended you. You may play a role there, but I don’t know the specific role, I hope you will prepare and come to the United States as soon as possible.”

Jet Li was very happy after hearing this, and expressed his thanks to Yuan Heping repeatedly. A few days later, Jet Li received a call from Zu Shuluhua, the producer of "Sky Cannon 4", who said to him: "We have seen your "Once Upon a Time" and "Black Man". The audience was deeply impressed, we are filming "Sky Cannon 4", I hope you can play a supporting role in it, the villain. If you are interested, please go to Hollywood, USA to audition." When Jet Li heard about playing a supporting role, he was a bit muttered in his heart, so he said to Li Zhi, "I have never played a supporting role. If I go to Hollywood to play a supporting role, will I be stereotyped from now on, and I will play a supporting role for the rest of my life."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about it. The goal now is to enter Hollywood. As for whether to play a supporting role or a leading role, that's the goal in the future. Let's talk about the goal first." Jet Li thought it made sense, so he immediately flew to Hollywood. "Sky Cannon" is also named "Lethal Weapon", and its English name is Lethal Weapon. Since the first episode of "Sky Cannon" was launched in 1987, it has been deeply loved by the audience for its thrilling plot and humorous style. It filmed the second and third episodes in 1989 and 1992, both of which caused quite a stir. In 1997, Warner Bros. was preparing to launch the fourth episode of "Sky Cannon".

The fourth episode of "Sky Cannon" tells that Martin Rigg (played by Mel Gibson) and Roger Mordo (played by Danny Glover) are both Los Angeles police detectives, and they are good partners from birth to death. Because of a confrontation between the police and the robbers in front of the gas station late at night, the two easily subdued the gangsters who set fire and destroyed them in an extremely unexpected way. They were promoted from police detectives to captains, and a wonderful story unfolded from this. On a calm night, Rigg and Mordo took a yacht chat with their friend Leo Gates (Joe Pasci), but encountered a boat full of stowaways from the mainland at sea, and Rigg climbed onto the iron shell desperately. The boat, started a fight with the human-snake group, and has since forged seeds with the Chinatown gangsters; the kind-hearted Mo Dao took in the Ahong family who escaped the immigration office but was not taken into custody based on sympathy. The man is the hostage that the Chinatown gangster coach (Jet Li) is eager to find and uses as a threat tool.In order to get the family back, the gang leader resorted to all kinds of ruthless means, including murder and arson, and Rieger and Mo Dao did not show weakness, and launched a dangerous and exciting black-and-white confrontation with the Chinatown gang.

Two Los Angeles police detectives and gangsters fought wits and fiercely just to find out the real purpose of the coach looking for A Hong, but unexpectedly discovered that a secret transaction was going on, so there was a thrilling fighting scene, and finally the coach Died tragically at the hands of two Los Angeles police detectives. In addition to the addictive fighting scenes, this film also has a warm side in real life. The group of people interweaves a witty, funny, warm and touching episode because of family, friendship and love, which adds a lot of fun. The star of "Sky Cannon 4" is still the star of the first three episodes, Mel Gibson (Mel Gibson), and the director is also the director of the first three episodes, Richard Donner (Richard Donner).

After Jet Li came to the crew of "Sky Cannon 4", he found that he still had to compete for this supporting role. There were six people competing for this role.Jet Li suddenly felt uncomfortable.Jet Li once recalled the uncomfortable psychology at that time, saying: I have never tried to do this kind of thing since the first movie. I was the protagonist in the first movie, and I have been the protagonist for decades. Suddenly I have to face a re-examination. That weekend can be said to be a different life. a test of Before the audition, Jet Li met the director Richard Donner, and the two sides had a conversation through an interpreter. Richard Donner asked: "I have seen your movies a long time ago. What do you think your movements have to do with Bruce Lee's?" the difference?"

Jet Li smiled and said: "My action style is very different from Bruce Lee's. Bruce Lee's style is fierce, fierce, and public, reflecting the masculinity of a warrior. In order to better express this masculinity, Bruce Lee is still making movies. Sometimes it is matched with screams, anger, and arrogant eyes. But I am a traditional Chinese type, restrained, reserved, deep, and my movements are chic and beautiful. Satisfied with Jet Li's answer, he nodded with a smile. Seeing that the director was happy, Jet Li asked, "If I make "Sky Cannon 4", what kind of martial arts do you want to see, is it American style or Chinese style?

Richard Donner said: "We only want to see Jet Li's martial arts style. Why? Because the director of "The Matrix" said when he recommended you to us, Jet Li's martial arts style has a profound influence on the action design of The Matrix. Influence. However, although you are very harmonious in martial arts moves, you still have to audition, audition with martial arts stars from various countries, and cooperate with American stars to see if there is a chemical reaction on the screen. Although It's not fair to you, but there's no way?" The director shrugged with a smile.

Jet Li said with a smile: "Give me a chance, give me a chance, let me prove myself again." After the exchange between the two sides, Jet Li was going to audition. During the preparation, Jet Li had to memorize the script, because he didn’t know much English and was afraid of being laughed at by others. Jet Li hid in the toilet, facing the toilet, holding a tape recorder, and memorized every sentence in English. To memorize your own dialogue, you also need to know what the other party is talking about in the dialogue, and you must also know when the other party is speaking in English and when to take the next sentence.

After the audition results came out, Jet Li's performance was recognized by the director, leading actor, producer, and producer, and he began to join the crew of "Sky Cannon 4". From then on, Jet Li started his journey in Hollywood. The schedule of "Sky Cannon 4" was five months. Three months after the filming, suddenly one day, the director and producer called Jet Li.The director said to him: "Tomorrow I will give you a machine, and you take a few people to shoot the fight scene on the rooftop." Jet Li was very happy, because this is the result of his ability being affirmed in the past few months, he asked, "Do you have a script?"

Jet Li said: "There is no script, you can shoot as you want. Let's take a look after the filming." After Jet Li took over the task, he immediately called Yuan Heping and discussed with him how to shoot the scene well. After thinking about it for a night, he took the staff to the roof of a building the next day and spent a day. Time to finish the scene.In the evening, Jet Li showed this scene to everyone, and everyone thought it was very good after watching it. The producer also said: "Miss Li, the film you made is of a considerable standard. Tomorrow you will shoot three more scenes. On the ceiling, you will strangle him to death with a prayer bead, and you will shoot it yourself. After the film comes out, let the United States Professionals and audiences will rate you." There is such a system in the American film industry. During the filming process, the producers and directors will let some actors independently shoot some wonderful short films, and then publish them for professionals and the general audience in the United States to score. If the score is high , which means that this person can take on a big responsibility. The purpose of this is to discover new talents and prosper the American film market. The producer let Jet Li participate in the selection, which means that Jet Li's status in the crew has risen to another level. After the movie made by Jet Li came out, it was announced together with some clips of starring Mel Gibson. The announced result was that the leading actor Mel Gibson scored eight points, and Jet Li's seven points ranked second.But compared with Mel Gibson, Jet Li had very few roles, only three scenes, and he spoke an English dialogue, but even so, Jet Li still left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience and gave it seven points. Afterwards, American film companies immediately decided to invest in Jet Li as the leading role, and this public beta played a key role. Soon, "Sky Cannon 4" completed the post-production and was introduced to the market. In the first week, it ranked the top of the list with a box office revenue of 34 million US dollars. At that time, the American film market also entered a downturn. , Warner, whose business conditions are not very good, was very pleasantly surprised to see this. After the film was released, the American audience screamed at his fabulous kung fu, and they were so addicted to it, just like Bruce Lee stole the limelight from the protagonist in "The Man of the Blue Peak".The media at the time said: "JET LI surprised everyone with his skills in 5 minutes, and the one who appeared in black was even more mysterious, which was in line with Westerners' impression of the East." The name Jet Li used in "Sky Cannon 4" is JET LI. If it is translated into Chinese, it means Li like a cannonball. It is said that Li Zhi helped him choose this name, which means that Jet Li is very fast and accurate. What's more interesting is that Jet Li is especially favored by countless female movie fans in the West. The reason is Jet Li's unique oriental smile. Jet Li, who is not very good at joking, is very surprised by this.Female movie fans in the United States said that when Jet Li played the villain, his smile was subtle and sinister, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, showing infinite murderous intent. After "Sky Cannon 4" achieved good results in the United States, Asia immediately introduced this film, and soon "Sky Cannon 4" bombarded Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the base of Jet Li. In order to promote the film, Warner Bros. invited Jet Li to Hong Kong to promote the new film and held a grand premiere. The premiere of "Sky Cannon 4" was arranged to be held in the open-air plaza of Times Square. Among the guests invited to attend, Rosamund Kwan, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Reis, Wenzhuo Zhao, etc., can be described as a gathering of stars. The BEYOND band was arranged to sing the theme song "Unbeatable" of "Sky Cannon 4" live, and there was also a lion dance performance. Due to the star-studded and Jet Li's first film to enter the international film world, a large number of reporters and Jet Li's fans came to the premiere that night. Warner Bros. was afraid of problems, so it followed the Western method and arranged reporters in the The "Avenue of Stars" covered with a red carpet is a fixed area to take pictures, and you cannot enter the reception venue for personal interviews, so when the ceremony is in progress, the reporter can only look at it from a distance and sigh.In Hong Kong's local premiere, reporters can get close to the stars to interview and take pictures, instead of separating the media from the stars. For Warner's approach, entertainment reporters in Hong Kong expressed dissatisfaction. Jet Li is well aware of the power of the Hong Kong paparazzi, so he came out to express his apology to the reporter. He said: "I am an actor, and although I cannot control Warner Bros.'s arrangement, I also deeply apologize to the reporters and guests for their carelessness. I'm sorry. The Hong Kong film market is currently in a downturn. The film companies, actors themselves and the media must cooperate with each other to do a good job of publicity, which is the foundation of a prosperous Hong Kong film market. I hope everyone understands me." "Sky Cannon 4" also achieved good results in Hong Kong, but it also attracted criticism. Since Jet Li has always played a hero, this time he played a villain in the play since he was in the movie, and in the end it was inevitable The tragic death was emotionally unacceptable to Hong Kong movie fans. Secondly, Jet Li's role in the play was insulting to China, which also disgusted Hong Kong movie fans. Hong Kong media wrote articles accusing Jet Li of not acting in such a movie. Regarding the audience's criticism and the media's attack, Jet Li did not dare to explain it at the beginning, and only after a few years did he explain it in an interview with reporters.Jet Li said this: After I went there, what I wrote in the script was actually the last point, a fight, nothing else.There is nothing in front of it, and it is really a bit insulting to China, that is really a bit insulting to China.The insult to China is not because he wants to insult China, but because they understand that the Chinese are like that.And the Chinese people he understands are the 1950s, and he can't wait to see what the Chinese people in the 1940s wear. This is the Chinese people in his mind.What about me?Really find a way to tell them, it's not like this!The Chinese people today are not like this!Talk about what the culture is like, tell him, work hard little by little.This is just the last fight, and people don't know me.If you want to add me in the middle of this show, what can I do? Just convince the screenwriter, director, producer, and actors little by little.You want to change any of those big names and everyone has to nod before they can change it.Convince one by one. In any case, Jet Li's "Sky Cannon 4" paved the way for him to enter Hollywood smoothly. His sharp fists and kicks left a deep impression on American audiences. Appreciate his Chinese Kung Fu, just like this, Jet Li easily knocked on the door that is very difficult for Chinese movie stars. In view of Jet Li's deep impression on the audience in "Sky Cannon 4" and the ratings of American audiences in the public beta, Zu Shuluhua, the producer of "Sky Cannon 4", was later in charge of the new film "Romeo Must Die" (Chinese translation of "Romeo Must Die") 》), decided to use Jet Li as the male lead, and make a movie tailored for him. After hearing the news, Jet Li immediately told Li Zhi the news, saying: "I have successfully entered Hollywood. Warner Company let me star in "Romeo Must Die." Li Zhi said happily: "Then what story does this movie tell?" Jet Li then happily introduced the plot to him on the phone: The Korean star I played was a Hong Kong policeman, but his father Chu was the leader of an American criminal group.In order to protect his underworld father, Han Xing not only lost his job, but was also thrown into prison. A fierce conflict erupts between Chu's Asian crime family and the evenly matched Isaac O'Day black gang, and Han Xing's brother Bo is killed in the fight.The fire of hatred made Han Xing escape from prison and come to the United States desperately.For this brand new world, all he can rely on is his mind and martial arts. As soon as Han Xing boarded the dilapidated Oakland Pier, he found that Isaac was a formidable opponent.However, Han Xing received an unexpected understanding and help, and the other party turned out to be Isaac's beautiful and rebellious daughter Therese, who was played by the black American singer Alia Huffton.Like Han Xing, Therese's brother also died in the gang fight, but what she wants to do is different from Han Xing: she doesn't want revenge, but she wants to end this nightmare. Han Xing and Therese decided to work together to prevent the spread of violence and fear in Auckland, but they were obstructed and threatened by layers of families from both sides.Therese had to rely on her own wisdom to get rid of the eyes and ears sent by her father, and Han Xing needed to use martial arts more often, because Isaac's men always prevented him from contacting Therese, and there were some behind-the-scenes people who didn't want him to know the truth of the matter.Finally, a fierce battle settled all the battles. Li Zhi said: "This story is very good." "After I watched it, I also thought the story was good. Warner Bros. executives also attached great importance to Jet Li's "Death to Romeo." Li Zhi laughed on the other end of the phone: "I didn't expect you to come out so soon. You are a leap forward. Many people have to wait for a long time to become the leading role. This shows that the Hollywood film industry is optimistic about your future and potential. Cultivate it as a material that can be made. Who are the director and heroine?" "The director of this film is Andrzej Bakovia, and the heroine is the black female singer Arya. Now Arya is in the limelight, and she has a tendency to skyrocket." "Okay, play well, and I'll come to your place to congratulate you in a few days." When he heard that Li Zhi would come, Jet Li was happier than being the protagonist. The feeling of being favored is really wonderful, but Jet Li has not been dazzled by the victory. The smart Jet Li knows that this film will be crucial to his life. Success or failure depends on one action. Starring in the first film. How to perform well in this work that is crucial to his future, Jet Li thought of his old partner Yuan Kui. He thought that only by inviting Yuan Kui to cooperate with him can he make a shocking work.Jet Li then called Yuan Kui who was far away in Hong Kong and explained his intentions, Yuan Kui agreed happily. Seeing that Yuan Kui agreed, Jet Li recommended Yuan Kui to the director, producer and Warner Bros. Warner Bros. responded quickly and agreed to hire Yuan Kui as the martial arts director of "Death to Romeo". After Yuan Kui got the news, he rushed to Hollywood. Jet Li personally drove to the airport to meet his old friend. The two met very happily. Jet Li took him to a hotel in Chinatown, and talked about how to design martial arts moves while drinking. Jet Li said: American movie audiences are different from Hong Kong audiences. Hong Kong audiences like to watch longer sparring scenes, but American audiences are different. They like to watch shorter sparring scenes the most. strength.Their movie can be called "Fast-food Movie" (fast-food movie), as the name suggests, the action scenes of the whole film are fast-paced. " Yuan Kui said: "If the rhythm is to be bright, then the most important thing to do in fighting scenes is to be fast, ruthless, and vigorous!" "Yes, yes, it is this style. These three words can become the principle of martial arts action design in this movie." Yuan Kui smiled slightly and said: "The computer special effects in the United States are also very high. It will look very good if you combine kung fu with computer special effects." Jet Li also said: "The Americans asked me to star in this movie. There is an obvious intention to let American audiences experience the real Shaolin Kungfu. Americans are born with a "hero complex". He is a passionate and heroic adventurer who worships successful immigrants as heroes. This is why the American Western has a long history. Therefore, as long as the film has good action, unique visual effects and soundtrack, the film will be successful. Halfway through." Yuan Kui deeply agrees with this, and believes that the action design should also conform to the aesthetic habits of the United States. In a Chinese saying, you can sing whatever song you want on the top of the mountain. After a few days of rest, the shooting of "Death to Romeo" started, and the film entered the intense shooting process.In the filming of the opening scene, Yuan Kui carefully designed for him to be hanged upside down with a thunderbolt sweep, that is, Jet Li was hanged upside down in prison, but suddenly with a thunderbolt sweep, five strong men were kicked over. Facts have proved that Jet Li's choice of Yuan Kui as a martial arts instructor is quite correct.On the set, Yuan Kui's unique style of martial arts routines and guidance methods brought many benefits to Jet Li's martial arts. It not only showed Jet Li's inherent superb martial arts skills, but also used special effects to create scenes of flying over walls and hanging upside down. Thrilling action.In this film, Jet Li's shadowless leg kung fu in the "Once Upon a Time" series is reappeared, especially in the rugby scene, from the sky to the ground, the movements are constantly changing, and it is done in one go. The best of the film. After the filming of "Death to Romeo" was completed, the premiere ceremony was held in New York.When the film was released, Jet Li was very excited and nervous. What was exciting was that the new film was finally released. Generally speaking, his entry into Hollywood was relatively smooth. What was nervous was that the film was about to meet with the audience. On that day, apart from directors, actors, Warner Bros. officials, and a large number of reporters, Li Zhi came from far away Hong Kong. Internationally famous director Ang Lee and Michelle Yeoh, who played the Bond girl in "007", also came to join in the show.Ang Lee also brought two sons, and his son was also a fan of Jet Li. Hearing that his father was going to attend the premiere of Jet Li, he desperately clamored to come. Although many famous directors and celebrities came to support him, before the film was released, Jet Li still had fifteen buckets to fetch water in his heart—ups and downs.The effect of the film is the key, just like the products developed by the merchants, the quality is the fundamental.The dark audience is the inspector of this film. For the Chinese, the most exciting thing is that when the movie started slowly, the Chinese subtitles of "Warner Movie" appeared unexpectedly, and then the original English name of "Warner Bros" appeared. The list, including the Chinese names given by the foreign staff, also appeared on the screen. For Warner's award to Jet Li, the audience burst into applause. The media commented at the time: "In "Fatal Romeo", Chinese subtitles appeared first, and then the original English title appeared. Mainstream movies have taken Chinese culture seriously." During the screening of the film, whenever Jet Li's wonderful fighting scene appeared, the audience would be amazed at Jet Li's lightning-like skill. As the film played, everyone gradually sank into the plot Among them, when the film ended, the audience burst into warm applause.Jet Li also has a bottom line in his heart, at least this movie will not lose everything, and he will not become a poison at the box office. After the film ended, Dan Kaciolo, the producer of the film and also the producer of "The Matrix", said with satisfaction: "Compared with the heroine of "The Matrix", this scene can be said to be more powerful." It’s more than worse, especially Jet Li’s kung fu is already very good, as long as he cooperates with a little computer special effects, it’s really cool.” American audiences also saw Jet Li's righteous and awe-inspiring side in this movie. Although he still plays a gangster character this time, his character is full of chivalry and his image is fuller. Compared with the human trafficker in "Sky Cannon 4", he feels more Much more comfortable. What is even more gratifying to Jet Li is that the box office of "Fatal Romeo" has been soaring all the way. Four days after its premiere, it earned a total of 25.1 million US dollars in revenue, ranking second in the US box office this week. The pockets of the boss soared. After "Fatal Romeo" was released in Asia, the results were also very good. In Taipei alone, it set a record of NT$9 million in two days. The success of "Fatal Romeo" announced Jet Li's firm foothold in Hollywood.No matter how you look at it, the salary of Jet Li's next few works will increase significantly, no longer the 3 million US dollars in "Let's Die Romeo". The film has achieved good results in the North American market and received favorable reviews, but in the Asian market, it was criticized more than praised.The Asian media and Jay's original fans have three main points of criticism: First, the image of the Chinese in the film is distorted and distorted.In contrast, the gangster characters are very humane, and they can put life and death at risk for the lives of their loved ones.Second, in the film, Jet Li is reluctantly allowed to gag. Jackie Chan, who is known for his humor, is okay in such a play, but Jet Li will only make people break out in a cold sweat.Thirdly, the soundtrack with a strong urban film flavor is weird and uses hip-hip style music. The new generation may agree with it, but Jet Li's fans find it hard to bear.Although the director wanted to perfectly combine Jet Li's action beauty with the new music, the effect was very discordant, which became a major failure in the film. In addition, there are many doubts about the film's performance techniques. Han Xing's lengthy explanations to other characters after arriving in the United States are unbearable;In addition, since "Romeo to Death" is known as "the action version of Romeo and Juliet", why can't Jet Li and Alia see the slightest love in their eyes? Jet Li responded to the fans' doubts. He said: I have played some negative characters in Hollywood, such as thugs, sons of gangsters. This is not the intention of Warner Films to make me like this. In fact, fans should fully consider American culture. And aesthetic habits, I think different cultures have different views on a thing. Chinese or Asian oriental people think that the movies you make are so useless and miserable. On the contrary, these movies make the West and Europe, the United States, All audiences in Europe know me and know me, and the commercial value of these films is much larger than that of my past films.Let me give you an example of cultural differences. Once, when I went to France to film a film, the French said that we should not film gangsters, but we filmed the police, and the police must fight if they have any action.I said, this movie cannot be released in China. The French asked me why you can’t play a good person. I said that the Chinese police cannot kill people, set fires or fight in foreign countries. This is a violation of discipline. Although Asian audiences have some complaints about Jet Li's role, foreigners are very fond of Jet Li's near-mythical kung fu and face that is both good and evil.What's more rare is that his kung fu not only fascinated American men, but also fascinated thousands of American women. More and more female audiences flocked to the theater to see Jet Li's demeanor, and they became Jet Li's most loyal fans. Advocate.We say that a man can change his decision in 10 minutes if he likes someone, but it takes a woman a lifetime to like someone, and she will never "transfer love" easily. Li Zhi was also quite surprised that Jet Li could fascinate tens of millions of female audiences. She said to Jet Li: "I didn't expect you to become the idol of foreign women. I really underestimated you." Jet Li deliberately teased him and said: "I didn't expect that, I still want to fascinate Sharon Stone." Sharon Stone is a famous sexy beauty in the world. She once became the sexy goddess of America because of her starring role in "Basic Instinct".After Li Zhi heard this, her willow eyebrows stood upright, her almond eyes widened, and she said, "Dare, even if she proposes to you, you have to refuse." Jet Li was overjoyed and said, "This is a bit too much." Li Zhi was so angry that he twisted Jet Li, and Jet Li jumped up in pain. The American media published a special report during the filming of "Let's Romeo", reviewing the "image history" of Asian male stars in the American film industry, and believed that after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat not only set the stage for Asian men. He established a new image and became a hero in the minds of many Americans. Bruce Lee in the early days was the first Chinese Kung Fu movie star who left a deep impression on foreigners. He was as fast as lightning in "The Green Hornet". For the first time, the word "Kung Fu" appeared in the foreigner's dictionary. Bruce Lee's pinnacle works are the movies "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon". In these two films, Bruce Lee's nunchucks make people dazzled. Finally, everyone said that Bruce Lee did have real kung fu. In the European and American film circles, Bruce Lee is the pioneer of kung fu movies. He made kung fu movies reach the pinnacle and become a pinnacle that is difficult for future generations to cross.Jet Li once said: "Bruce Lee is my role model." The implication is that he also wants to conquer the global audience with real kung fu like Bruce Lee. After Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan is another one who opened up the mainstream American film market. Jackie Chan, also known as "Laughing Dragon", created a precedent for humorous kung fu movies.The thrills and humor of the film are quite to the appetite of foreigners. His films are always full of various thrilling actions and funny, making people both exciting and happy to watch. The films of these two dragons are more than brave, but not gentle enough. The biggest shortcoming is the lack of literary drama. The characters in the film are a blank slate, without layers and depth. The new appearance of Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat has changed foreigners' impression of kung fu stars, especially Chinese people. Starting from Jet Li, Jackie Chan's stereotyped image of "tough and mighty" gradually faded away, replaced by "rigid yet soft, full of energy". The image of the hero of romantic feelings.In other words, be more humane.Chow Yun-fat played the romantic temperament to the fullest in "Anna and the King".Even the actor who played Anna said that I was almost fascinated by his speech and behavior.In the new martial arts blockbuster "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he created an image of a hero who is elegant, stylish and deeply in love.But Chow Yun-fat is not from a martial arts background, when filming martial arts scenes, sometimes he is unavoidably clumsy.Jet Li does not have these problems. In addition to having their advantages, his unrivaled kung fu is also convincing. In "Let's Die Romeo", Jet Li's eyes are shining brightly, and the "discharge" eyes in the film knock down A large number of female movie fans.The media shouted that Jet Li is first-class in kung fu and first-class in romance. Hollywood experts predict that the era of Jet Li sweeping Hollywood is not far away. In the face of praise and criticism, Jet Li's mind is as calm as water, and he has a belief in his heart.No matter how many changes, this belief has always followed Jet Li. When filming "Shaolin Temple" at the age of 18, Jet Li once disclosed his lifelong wish: to promote Chinese martial arts.This is the same sentence every time I answer an interview.Jet Li, who aims to promote Chinese martial arts, has the spirit of a master.In this era of no belief, Jet Li's persistence shows that his heroic nature is extraordinary.During the release of "Let's Die Romeo", taking advantage of this shareholder style, Jet Li opened a martial arts gym on the Internet, hoping to use advanced technology to promote martial arts to the world.He uses dance machines and computer games to promote Chinese martial arts, let the world understand the mystery and essence of Chinese martial arts, and plans to recruit apprentices online, so that all kinds of people can learn the magical Chinese martial arts.
