He was the original hero of Shaolin Temple and was replaced by Jet Li in the middle of filming. Who is he?

Kung fu movies, or movies from the 1980s and 1990s, are very popular. From 65438 to 0976, Shaolin Temple, an action film from Chinese mainland and Hongkong, was widely praised by five stars as soon as it was released, creating a box office record in the film and television industry. The martial arts movie scenes in the film adopt the real-life version of mutual communication, which is very different from the previous performance martial arts movies and is loved by the audience. It can be said that the film "Shaolin Temple" has opened a new era of China's martial arts films, and it is a rare epoch-making work in China's film industry.

The movie made a box office of 1.6 1.0 at a price of 0.0 cents. As a man, Jet Li became very popular in the streets.

Jet Li, one of the representatives of China's martial arts films, has always looked at people with the brand image of "chivalrous man" and "tough guy", created many screen heroes, and was a male star in early martial arts films. Jet Li's martial arts is not for better filming, but for filming. His one stroke and one style are gorgeous as dancing, which contains the essence of China Wushu, making people feel like sitting in front of the screen, with emotion and energy between punching and slapping.

Before entering the entertainment circle, Jet Li had trained traditional Wushu for many years and won the Wushu championship in various global competitions. 1979 Attended the 4th National Games with injuries and won the championship five times. In the same year, he retired from martial arts due to injury. But how could God let Jet Li play the lute to a cow? Only one year later, Jet Li appeared in the first film in his life and suddenly became the original martial arts star. The film is Shaolin Temple.

At first, the film Shaolin Temple was directed by Chen Wenlai, a director from China and Hongkong. At that time, he chose all the famous actors of Henan Peking Opera Troupe to shoot. And the man he chose happened to be a very popular actor at that time-WU GANG.

From 65438 to 0979, Liao Chengzhi, then director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the General Office of the State Council and director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, first clearly put forward the idea of filming, and also put forward many good ideas for film writing. After everything was ready, Great Wall Company, as a producer, decided that Chen Wen would be the director of the film.

Director Chen Wen is good at excavating outstanding talents. He didn't deliberately look for a male artist from traditional martial arts, but found a famous actor from Henan Peking Opera Troupe, and WU GANG was chosen as the leading actor. This WU GANG is not the "Dakang Li" you imagined, but a superstar born as a Chinese opera actor. WU GANG is not only gifted in performance, but also has some basic skills of traditional martial arts.

As a well-known actor, WU GANG was very happy to receive such a good copy of Shaolin Temple, because he clearly understood that once he participated in this film well, there was no doubt that he would become an international big-name star in the future. I am also very concerned about this drama, and I am constantly trying to figure out the performance books every day, but who knows that something happened in the middle.

Halfway through the filming of the play, the production company was very dissatisfied after seeing the actual effect. I feel that many martial arts moves in the play are not so technical and professional, and there is no such feeling of surging emotion after reading them. Obviously, the actual effect of shooting was completely unexpected. Therefore, I expect Director Zhang Xinyan to go out and bridge the gap.

Jet Li was chosen at the insistence of the new director Zhang Xinyan, and then unknown Jet Li became a movie star. And he didn't make everyone feel cold. In the whole shooting process of Shaolin Temple, Jet Li attracted anyone with his solid basic skills of traditional martial arts and superb performance, and proved that the director was right with his overall strength.

With the success of the film, Jet Li also won the title of "forbidden kingdom". Starting from this film, the development trend of Jet Li's works is getting better and better, and many excellent films have been shot. Later, Jet Li took part in Shaolin Kid, True Men, Huang Feihong's Second Man's Self-improvement, Fang Shiyu, Thailand Zhang Chi Sanfeng and Adventure King, and performed and translated Wu Shen with his own characteristics, which established his influence in the Wulin.

1998, Jet Li also entered Hollywood, such as Hero, Huo Yuanjia, forbidden kingdom and The Expendables. With his hard face and handsome movements, he quickly became a kung fu star in Hollywood, USA!

Now, after WU GANG Jet Li participated in Shaolin Temple, of course, it has spread to thousands of families, but WU GANG's work has suddenly changed. Being temporarily replaced at that time was fatal to him. After that, he has no better works to start with. He has been making a living as a commercial performer, but in the long run, he retired from the entertainment circle.

Therefore, he has tried to do restaurant business before, opened a restaurant, and has nothing to do with the entertainment circle. But he was always very emotional about being replaced at first, and often mentioned that he would not let go of learning.

Sometimes you have to do something in life, and you have to do something in life. For the audience, Jet Li is the more suitable candidate for Shaolin Temple!
