Chapter 20 Chapter Eighteen

Jet Li, who has been fighting in the world of martial arts for decades, poured a lot of his understanding and effort into martial arts in "Fearless", and after this film, he will no longer make pure martial arts movies.Director Yu Rentai spent two years looking for action elites from all walks of life to "compete" with Jet Li in the film, and then the audience will see "real fights of masters". In 2004, on a clear day, Jet Li was shocked when he saw a news report in the newspaper: In 2003, 280,000 people in China committed suicide!This number deeply regretted Jet Li.He thought, everyone has parents or brothers and sisters, and almost everyone is involved in the pain of 10 people, so the suicide of 280,000 people will affect the pain of two to three million people, why so many young people To give up life?

Putting down the newspaper, Jet Li fell into deep thought. As a filmmaker, he wanted to save the lost people through his own way of expression. He thought of Huo Yuanjia as a hero. Huo Yuanjia, courtesy name Junqing, is a famous patriotic martial artist in modern China.Huo Yuanjia was born in 1869, and his ancestor lived in Xiaonanhe Village in the western suburbs of Tianjin (now Xiqing District). His father, Huo Endi, was a well-known boxer at that time. According to folklore, Huo Yuanjia was thin and weak when he was a child. He was often bullied by children from his hometown and laughed at by his brothers.Fearing that Huo Yuanjia would damage his family tradition, Huo Endi forbade him to practice martial arts and made him study poetry and books hard.This greatly hurt Huo Yuanjia's self-esteem.So, he secretly practiced martial arts and competed with his brothers in secret.A few years later, a famous martial artist came to challenge the Huo family boxing method. Huo Yuanjia stepped forward and kicked the opponent down in just a few rounds.Huo Yuanjia's reputation of "superior in martial arts" has since spread.

In fact, Huo Endi did not prohibit Huo Yuanjia from practicing martial arts.According to the older generation of martial arts experts, Huo Yuanjia is only 1.6 meters tall, but he has a strong body since he was a child, with amazing fighting ability and explosive power. He is a highly qualified martial arts genius.In his youth, Huo Yuanjia, in addition to learning martial arts from his father, also broke the concept of sect and learned from martial arts masters from other sects, so he developed good skills. According to historical records, despite his unique skills, Huo Yuanjia was quite low-key and only made a living by selling firewood and selling his feet.At first, his martial arts were only for self-defense. Later, because of his chivalrous heart, he often drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, so he became known to the world.However, what really made Huo Yuanjia famous all over the world was his several fights with foreigners.

In 1898, the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, and Wang Zibin (known as "Da Dao Wang Wu"), the manager of Beijing Yuanshun Escort Bureau who sympathized with the reformers, was forced to take refuge in Jinmen.He hit it off with Huo Yuanjia and became close friends.During the Eight-Power Allied Forces invasion of China, Wang Zibin was killed in Beijing.Huo Yuanjia and his apprentice Liu Zhensheng sneaked into the capital, retrieved the head of Wang Zibin, and together with the author Liu E, buried the body of the martyr together. Huo Yuanjia witnessed the numerous crimes committed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in Beijing and Tianjin, and he buried his hatred for the invaders and resentment against the Qing government in his heart.Therefore, Huo Yuanjia returned to his hometown to recruit Wu Yong in order to serve the country.

In 1901, a Russian Hercules came to Tianjin Opera Garden to perform. The leaflets printed said: "Beat the invincible hands all over China, let the 'sick men of East Asia' see and see, and open their eyes." Immediately took Liu Zhensheng to the theater.The manager of the theater had long admired Huo Yuanjia's name and arranged for them to sit in the first class seats.After the Russian Hercules appeared on the stage, he successively performed flat rolling iron plates and breaking iron chains.After the performance, he boasted that he was "the world's number one Hercules" and threatened to "welcome the 'sick man of East Asia' to compete on stage."

Hearing this, Huo Yuanjia jumped onto the stage and said loudly: "I am Huo Yuanjia, the 'sick man of East Asia', and I would like to compete with you in public!" He explained: What he just said was exaggerated and publicized, purely for making money, please don't take it seriously.Huo Yuanjia challenged again and again, but the Russian Hercules never dared to make a move, and finally had to agree to admit his mistake in the newspaper, and left Tianjin in despair. In 1909, the British Hercules Opiyin set up a competition in Zhangyuan, Shanghai, and published advertisements in the newspapers, boasting and insulting the Chinese.At that time, Shanghai suffered from the fact that there was no one to fight against, so Chen Gongzhe, a leading figure in the business world, and others came forward and invited Huo Yuanjia to Shanghai to fight.After Huo Yuanjia arrived in Shanghai, Opiyin was intimidated by Huo Yuanjia's prestige and did not dare to fight directly, so he asked Huo Yuanjia to bet a lot of money first, and he was not allowed to use Chinese martial arts techniques such as finger pokes and foot hooks in the competition. He wanted to use this method to force Huo Yuanjia back.With the financial support of his friends, Huo Yuanjia resolutely accepted Opiyin's conditions. Opiyin was caught off guard by Huo Yuanjia's move, so he had to agree to a martial arts competition, but he refused to fight for a long time.Faced with the repeated delays of the British Hercules, Huo Yuanjia published an advertisement in the newspaper: "The world ridicules my country as a country of sick men, and I am a sick man in the country of sick men. I am willing to try it with the healthy people in the world." A strong man, though of brass and iron bones, has nothing to worry about!" As soon as this article came out, not only the timid Opiyin fled, but also the notary and organizers of the ring.Huo Yuanjia stepped forward in Shanghai, frightened away the mighty foreign provocateurs, strengthened the country's prestige, and became famous far and wide ever since.

Martial artist Liu Xufeng also witnessed another duel between Huo Yuanjia and a German Hercules in Shanghai.At that time, Huo Yuanjia took his apprentice Liu Zhensheng and the "Five Tigers of the Zhao Family" brothers from the "Tan Tumen" in Jingxian County, Hebei to play together in the Shanghai Zhabei Stadium against strongmen from various countries.In the first match, Liu Xufeng's master Zhao Liancheng challenged the German Hercules. In the end, within two rounds, Zhao Liancheng lifted the German Hercules and was about to throw him off the ring.At this critical moment, the kind-hearted Huo Yuanjia hurriedly shouted: "Don't throw it!" This saved the life of the German Hercules.The strong men from all over the world saw this scene, no one dared to come to die, and slipped away from the backstage one by one.As a result, there was only one fight in the entire arena, and Huo Yuanjia was not needed at all.

In order to prevent the Chinese from being bullied by foreign powers again, in June 1910, with the assistance of friends Chen Gongzhe, Nong Jinsun and others, Huo Yuanjia broke the prejudice of the martial arts sect at that time and founded the "Chinese Jingwu Gymnastics Association" in Shanghai (later Changed to "Jingwu Athletic Association"), and personally taught the Huo family's ancestral Mizong boxing.At the same time, he put aside his sectarianism and recruited masters from all walks of life to serve as instructors in the Jingwu Sports Association, so that the apprentices could gather the strengths of each school and practice superior martial arts.

Regrettably, less than three months after the establishment of the "Jing Wu Association", Huo Yuanjia, a hero of the generation, passed away suddenly on September 14, 1910.For Huo Yuanjia's sudden death, the people have been talking about it.Some people said that Huo Yuanjia originally suffered from asthma, and in order to establish the "Jingwu Association", he cut down on food and clothing, eating only rice soaked in water and strips of dried pickles for three meals a day.In addition, in the early days of the founding of the association, it was difficult, requiring him to travel around and contact everywhere, and eventually he became sick from overwork, suffered from lung disease, and unfortunately passed away.

It is also said that Huo Yuanjia died of a Japanese conspiracy.At that time, the Japanese Judo Association learned that Huo Yuanjia had defeated the British and Russian Hercules, and was very unconvinced, so they selected more than a dozen masters to come to Huo Yuanjia to have a try.As a result, he was defeated by Huo Yuanjia's master and apprentice one by one, and the Japanese samurai who tried to injure others with black hands was broken, and the Japanese side was forced to admit defeat. After the game, the Japanese hosted a banquet in honor of Huo Yuanjia. During the dinner, the Japanese knew that Huo Yuanjia was suffering from "fever disease", so they introduced a Japanese doctor to see him.Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine prescribed by the Japanese doctor, Huo Yuanjia's condition gradually deteriorated.In just one month, a generation of martial arts masters passed away with hatred.Afterwards, my friends took the medicine for testing, only to find that it contained chronic poison. In the 1980s, later generations refurbished the cemetery for Huo Yuanjia. When the tomb was moved, the remains were inspected and found to be all black, which once again proved that Huo Yuanjia did die of poison.

After Huo Yuanjia's death, the "Jing Wu Club" he founded by himself adhered to his will and made continuous efforts to realize his dream of practicing martial arts to strengthen the country. There are hundreds of thousands of members in many countries and regions. As early as more than ten years ago, when Jet Li played "Jing Wu Heroes", he had the idea of ​​making Fearless into a movie. Now, this report has strengthened his determination.He decided to put a concept of life into this film: although a person cannot choose the beginning of life, he must be strong and have the courage to go to the end. After finishing the filming of "Danny the Wolf Dog", Jet Li rushed back to China non-stop, and immediately started to prepare for the filming of "Fearless".The film, with an investment of 150 million yuan, is directed by Hong Kong director Yu Rentai, starring Jet Li and Yuan Heping as the martial arts instructor. "Fearless" tells the touching story of a generation of national hero Fearless: Huo Yuanjia was obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, but his father didn't want his child to become a martial artist, so he refused to let him practice martial arts.Huo Yuanjia and his playmate Nong Jingsun secretly copied the Huojia boxing manual and practiced hard every day, and finally defeated the little bully with the immature Huojia boxing. Since then, their confidence has greatly increased.With his comprehension and enthusiasm for martial arts, his foundation of martial arts became more and more profound, and he became a well-known martial artist in Tianjin.But because of his aggressiveness, his personality became impetuous and arrogant, and he became more and more aggressive. One of Huo Yuanjia's apprentices was injured by Master Qin, another master in Tianjin. He broke into Master Qin's birthday banquet regardless of the reason, and threatened Master Qin to sign a life-and-death certificate to compete with him on the spot.In the end, although Huo Yuanjia won the victory and beat Master Qin to death on the spot, he lost the lives of the two people he loved the most in his life---mother and daughter!His good friend Nong Jinsun could not forgive him either.The big mistake was made by one hand, and Huo Yuanjia, who was in pain, lost his mind, so he walked away.She hides her name and lives in a remote village, and is sheltered and cared for by the villager's mother-in-law Sun and the blind girl Yueci.The peaceful rural life and kind-hearted villagers make Huo Yuanjia, who has lost all hope, gradually forget his pain and hatred, and his life is slowly recovering. One day, the village boy Agui was bullied by the Siamese villager next door. In order to save Agui, Huo Yuanjia finally showed his skills and competed with Beicha, a Muay Thai master of the Siam village.After this battle, he began to regain his awareness and thinking about martial arts, created Mizong Quan, which has been handed down to later generations, and decided to return to Tianjin to regain the direction for himself and Chinese martial arts. At that time, domestic martial arts masters were defeated by the Western Hercules Obi Yin, and the other party even threatened to sweep the sick men of East Asia. Therefore, with the help of his friend Nong Jinsun's funds, Huo Yuanjia rushed to Shanghai to challenge Obi Yin, and fought against Obi Yin with his own creation. The Mizong Fist defeated the giant.Representatives of foreign chambers of commerce worried that Huo Yuanjia would stir up national sentiments against foreign forces, so they planned a competition in which four foreign masters challenged Huo Yuanjia to frustrate him.Huo Yuanjia knew it was time to display his martial spirit of "self-improvement", so he ignored the objection of his friend Nong Jinsun and accepted the challenge.On the day of the competition, he defeated the British boxing champion, Spanish swordsman and Prussian spear master consecutively.In the end, the Japanese master Yasuno Tanaka played. This was the last pawn used by the great powers to instigate the battle of the century, and it was also the most powerful killer. But seeing the two confront each other with bated breaths in the arena, there was no sound from all sides of the stage, and tens of thousands of fists were clenched tightly. There are tens of thousands of pairs of eyes only staring in the same direction.Unexpectedly, the great powers poisoned Huo Yuanjia in advance, causing Huo Yuanjia to be deeply poisoned, but at this time Huo Yuanjia did not choose to go to the hospital, but chose to continue fighting until the last moment of his life... September 14, 1910, a day no one can forget. Different from many legendary stories of "Heroes of Jinmen" in history, there are many original plots in "Huo Yuanjia", especially the important passage of Huo Yuanjia living incognito in "Siam Villa" for three years.In this scene, Huo Yuanjia meets Yueci, a rural girl, and under the influence of her maternal charm, he rethinks the significance of martial arts to individuals and nations. "Chinese Kung Fu" challenge "Muay Thai" is the highlight of this segment, for which the crew specially invited the former Olympic boxing champion to join and fight with Jet Li. In 1981, the Hong Kong TV series "Fearless" became the first Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series to be broadcast in the mainland.Later, although the themes related to "Huo Yuanjia" were adapted into other film and television works one after another, none of them caused much repercussions.This time Jet Li invited Columbia Samsung and China Film Group to invest 150 million yuan in the production of the film "Fearless", vowing to create greater glories. The preparation of this film lasted for two years. Apart from being the leading actor, Jet Li was also an investor in the film.The creative direction he and director Yu Rentai established for the film is: first, to shoot an entertaining action film, so that in addition to showing Chinese Kung Fu, there will also be muay thai, boxing and other fighting styles in the film; second, to promote The spirit of Chinese martial arts, Jet Li's purpose in making this film is to hope that the audience will understand that "violence is not the solution to problems" after watching this film. The filming schedule of "Fearless" is very tight. The crew works from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm every day, with one day off a week. six times.The announcements sent to the staff every day are quite detailed. Not only are the scenes to be filmed that day and the list of actors, props, costumes, and even the translations required by Thai actors are marked. What’s more interesting is that even the temperature on the day of filming , Sunrise and sunset times are all marked, and the name of the hospital closest to the shooting scene is also specially marked. The most important part of "Fearless" will be played at Shengqiang Film and Television Base.Huo Yuanjia is from Tianjin, and Jet Li's version of "Huo Yuanjia" does not pay special attention to Huo Yuanjia's contest with the Japanese after he became famous, but describes his growth in youth. The appearance of Tianjin at the beginning of the century, Jet Li did not hesitate to spend millions of yuan to build a Tianjin Street full of restaurants and buildings in the Shanghai Shengqiang Film and Television Base. This Tianjin Street specifically refers to the late Qing style outside Huo Yuanjia’s home Built by the neighborhood.Time-honored Tianjin brands such as "Longchanghao" were built on the street, and a street archway on Tianjin Street was erected at the same time, about 50 meters away.The other main building is the Guyue Building where Huo Yuanjia lived. It is a two-story building. It is revealed that the internal facilities of the Guyue Building are mainly composed of three parts: the practice room, the cross staircase and the housing.The practice room is more than ten square meters in size, and the ground floor is entirely paved with square blue bricks.There is a pool under the cross staircase. When you go up the cross staircase, in addition to three patios on the left side of the second floor of Guyue Building, there are more than ten houses around it, which will be used as the living quarters of Huo Yuanjia's family. There are wooden pillars in the middle. The aisle is about two meters wide, and there is a bedroom on the right side of the second floor that is Huo Yuanjia's bedroom. During the filming of "Fearless", in order to create a realistic visual effect, Jet Li bit the bullet and was beaten personally when filming the scene of fighting with the Thai boxing champion, so that he fell to the ground with several punches in his body, and his hands and feet were injured to varying degrees. trauma. When Jet Li was filming another action scene on location, an accident happened accidentally.At that time, Jet Li and a mainland action actor were filming a fierce fight scene on a 40-foot high platform.Under the opponent's serial attack, Jet Li was suddenly forced to the edge of the high platform. In order to block the opponent's attack, he took a big step back, but this step was out of the budget range, and he fell to the ground in the air!The people on the scene were stunned. Director Yu Rentai and martial arts instructor Yuan Heping called the resident doctor to rescue Jet Li.Fortunately, the crew had taken safety measures in advance, the place where Jet Li fell happened to be covered with a large piece of mattress, so he did not fall to the critical point.After the doctor's examination, Jet Li fortunately did not have any fractures, so he escaped a catastrophe, but his hands and feet were injured. Afterwards, Jet Li also wiped off a cold sweat over the accident, saying: "This time I fell, I really lost half my life." This accident could have been avoided, because before filming this scene, Yuan Heping asked Jet Li to put on a seat belt to ensure safety, but Jet Li felt that this scene was just a normal sparring scene, there were no flying scenes, so it should be controllable Being able to live in the scene and save time, he rejected Yuan Heping's "good intentions" and went out without wearing a seat belt.But luckily Jet Li escaped this accident. During the 90-day filming process, Jet Li had 60 days of fighting scenes, and he was quite physically exhausted. He was really desperate to finish the film.During the filming process, Jet Li would arrive at the filming site an hour and a half earlier every day, personally ask about all the filming details, and sometimes suggest suitable scenes to the director according to the weather changes, which is more personal than the director. This is the pinnacle of Jet Li's martial arts thought, and it is also his masterpiece to bid farewell to Hollywood and return to the Chinese film circle. After the film is finished, it is planned to be released in major theaters across the country during the Spring Festival of 2006. In order to vigorously promote "Fearless", the publisher invested 5 million yuan in direct advertising, which does not include product placement and other branded advertisements.Before the screening, the advertisements of "Fearless" can be seen on CCTV's comprehensive channel, economic channel, movie channel, TV drama channel and variety show channel. Building advertisements in 13 cities across the country, including Beijing and Shanghai, also use 60 times a day. The clips of "Fearless" are broadcast on a rolling basis. Jet Li returned to the authentic martial arts movie "Fearless", soaring in the Chinese New Year. As of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Greater Taipei area alone has accumulated a box office of NT$51 million, and the box office of the whole Taiwan has exceeded the 100 million mark. , becoming one of the few Chinese-language films that have hit the box office recently after "Kung Fu". In Taiwan, combining the real kung fu of the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li and the theme song of the Asian King Jay Chou, "Fearless" can be said to cater to all ages.In major theaters in Taiwan, you can see many gray-haired grandparents with their grandchildren, parents and children buying tickets together. In Ximending and other large movie theaters, "Fearless" is almost the same full.It seems that Jet Li, who made a special trip to Taiwan to promote before Chinese New Year, does not have the airs of an international superstar and has a good image of being approachable. In mainland China, according to incomplete statistics from the China Film Distribution and Projection Branch, the box office of the film "Fearless" was nearly 8 million on the first day, which is the best result among films released on Wednesdays in a year.The box office statistics from China Film show that the total box office in Beijing ranks first in the country, and the two theaters of the New Film Federation and China Film Xingmei together reached 1.5 million.And Guangzhou, which has always been ranked third in the city's box office rankings, surpassed Shanghai this time. The total box office of the two theaters of Huaying South and Zhujiang exceeded 1.1 million. It is particularly worth mentioning that this result is higher than that of Thursday. The price of the film was 200,000 higher. The final box office of "Fearless" in the mainland was 70 million yuan. "Fearless" also achieved good results after it entered Hong Kong. In 2006, the New Year's Battle of the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong was full of smoke. compete with each other. Wei Jiahui is a well-known New Year film director in Hong Kong. His "Favorite Woman Shopaholic" has not broken through the 10 million Hong Kong dollar mark after 3 weeks of release, and the box office is obviously not strong enough. The single-day income is less than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. It stopped at about 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, becoming the worst score of "Wei Jiahui Lunar New Year Comedy". The director of "Springfield Huahua Alumni Association" is Chen Kexing. This film can be called the adult reality version of the cartoon "McDull Story" (one-third of which is still animated), but the theme, style, and techniques are still the same as before.Also supported by "McDull Patriarch" Xie Liwen and the original cast of "Golden Rooster" (Chen Kexin + Zhao Liangjun + Ng Junru), the box office of this film is better than "My Favorite Woman Shopaholic", reaching 15 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. However, no matter how many star performances, local characteristics and grassroots feelings the two Hong Kong films "Spring Field Flowers Alumni Association" and "Favorite Woman Shopaholic" have, they are not as good as a Chinese action blockbuster "Huo Yuanjia" ".Is it because of the effective promotional effect of "Jet Li's most important work" and "Jet Li's last martial arts movie", or is it the Hong Kong audience's admiration and love for ancient costume Jet Li? The box office of "Fearless" is surprising. The box office was nearly 26 million Hong Kong dollars.And Jackie Chan's "New Police Story" and the film cost only more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.In this way, the Hong Kong box office of "Fearless" will surpass the "Invincible in the East" and "Once Upon a Time" series, creating the highest box office record of Jet Li's film in Hong Kong.In addition, the box office of "Fearless" in the mainland has reached nearly 70 million yuan, and the box office in Taiwan has exceeded NT$100 million in 5 days after its release. In addition, the overseas copyright income is not cheap, and the film cost is not high. This movie soon became the most popular film in 2006. A Chinese-language blockbuster with viewing value and box office potential. Jet Li, who has filmed action movies for more than 30 years in the United States, Europe, and China, has always hoped to find a subject to express his concept of martial arts—why practice martial arts, what is Chinese martial arts, and what is the purpose of martial arts... With the help of a film The movie spells it out.The same as the original intention of filming "Danny the Wolf Dog", Jet Li wanted to use "Fearless" to show that "violence is not the only way to solve problems". For Jet Li, he feels that it doesn't matter whether he goes to Hollywood to film in the future. "Fearless" can be said to be a long-cherished wish of his. When he reaches middle age, he has deeper thoughts on everything and wants to express an opinion.He wanted to use "Fearless" as a summary of the martial arts movie. At the age of 16, Jet Li, who had already won the national martial arts championship for 5 years, felt that he had proved his ability in this field. He felt that it was meaningless to spend another five or ten years, so he went to make movies.He believes that when a person does something at a certain stage, he will change his direction, just like he abandoned martial arts and went to film. Now after filming this "Huo Yuanjia" as his summary of martial arts movies, Jet Li is very impressed with the results Plain, I feel that as long as you use your heart, the box office of the movie is not important, and the result is not important.In the future, he will only spend 50% of his energy on making movies, and wants to spend more energy on doing things that are more important than movies. Speaking of the difference between "Huo Yuan Jia" and "Kung Fu", Jet Li believes that Stephen Chow's kung fu is to express the effect of comedy in the form of actions, which is more exaggerated and has Stephen Chow's personal style, which is very successful.It's a big, romantic story.And Huo Yuanjia is a very simple person. He hoped to be successful since he was a child, and he was the first in the world. He suffered setbacks because of his blind pursuit of results. There are many such examples in the society. , life will be hit, and then go to the bottom, lost direction, and gradually find that life is not your own business, there are friends, family, and then grow up, the responsibility to the society. From "Shaolin Temple" in the early 1980s, to "Once Upon a Time", "Fang Shiyu", "Invincible in the East" in the 1990s, and to "Danny the Wolf Dog" in recent years, Jet Li's name has been destined , martial arts, and movements are linked together. Coincidentally, Huo Yuanjia was 42 years old when he died, and Jet Li was also 42 years old when he filmed "Huo Yuanjia". There seems to be a kind of fate with Huo Yuanjia in the dark. "Fearless" was called by Jet Li as the end of his martial arts film, and it was also his end to his 42-year martial arts career.In front of such a "master", people can't help but be curious about the content of his swan song, and they can't help but wonder and feel sorry for such a sudden end.Jet Li responded to all doubts and puzzles in the deconstruction of the word "Wu".He said that the highest state of martial arts is "no sword in hand, no sword in heart".There is no sword in the hand and no sword in the heart. That is the great love and fraternity he often mentioned. Jet Li not only thought so, but also did so. Jet Li, who lost his father when he was young, has been very sensible since he was a child. When he was 4 years old, he realized the poverty of the family and the hard work of his mother.Whether it is going to school or practicing martial arts, Jet Li will do his best to be the best. At the age of 11, he began to use the 5 yuan he earned from learning martial arts to supplement his family; when he received the 88 yuan salary of a professor, he never opened the envelope containing the salary, and all the income remained intact directly to the mother. To this day, Jet Li is still the indispensable pillar of the family, and the burden of the family has become Jet Li's unshirkable responsibility. On the eve of his mother's death in 2000, Jet Li stood beside his mother's bed and said: "You can go at ease, you are worried about the life problems of your sisters and brothers, I can guarantee it. I can't guarantee that each of them will become a millionaire, but I will take care of the food and housing of each of them, the tuition fees of their next generation, and other things, so you can rest assured." This is a sonorous and powerful oath, which sprouts from a young heart and firmly becomes Reality. Jet Li's ex-wife Huang Qiuyan got married again on November 21, 2004. Jet Li took out 50,000 US dollars in the name of the child and asked his ex-wife to choose a car as a gift.These are all expressions of great love. Martial arts, it is this sport that has been in harmony with him, that allows him to get rid of the weakness of a single-parent family, and understand what is strength and courage, and what is true love. Jet Li felt that Huo Yuanjia was actually very similar to himself. "A very simple person, who became famous and successful since childhood, won the first place in the competition, but encountered many setbacks because of his own blindness." In other words, Huo Yuanjia is Jet Li himself. "Fearless" describes Huo Yuanjia's very personal growth story. Huo Yuanjia's martial arts thought has undergone a painful transformation from "controlling violence with violence" to "violent incompetence". This is Jet Li's reflection on his martial arts thought projection. "Shaolin Temple", "Jing Wu Heroes" and other kung fu movies may only portray Jet Li as a classic image, but "Fearless" reflects Jet Li's most mature martial arts thinking: martial arts are not a means to take revenge on others, but It's a way to avoid danger.Jet Li said that "Fearless" is a movie that people from different countries, different cultures, different ages, and different beliefs will feel differently after watching. " Jet Li was fascinated by the once sensational TV series "Huo Yuanjia" starring Huang Yuanshen, but he confidently believed that although Huo Yuanjia had been shaped by many people, the Huo Yuanjia he created was absolutely unprecedented. There are no ones who come after, and they think that the movie "Fearless" is the most real "Fearless". After experiencing the brilliance of his career and the hardships of starting a business, the young Jet Li chose to end his martial arts movie with "Fearless".He said that Huo Yuanjia is himself, and the latter's growth and transformation reflect his own growth path, whether in life or in movies, and also let the Kung Fu Emperor make an introspective summary of his personal experience and Kung Fu movies. Jet Li said frankly that "Fearless" is a movie about his own life.After filming "Fearless", Jet Li said: More than 90 years ago, Huo Yuanjia proposed that there are three realms of learning martial arts: one is to have a sword in your hand and a sword in your heart; the other is to have a sword in your hand but have a sword in your heart;I think violence is not a means to solve problems, the most important thing is faith.I used my 42 years of perception to shoot "Fearless".My outlook on life, including my views on solving problems, etc. are all integrated in this movie. It can be said that this is a movie about my life. This is "Fearless", which tells the life of Jet Li and conveys Jet Li's martial arts spirit.
