There has always been an unspoken rule of "the king does not see the king" in the movie circle.
Since we are used to the leading roles, we can hardly imagine Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat in the same movie, who will act for whom.
Of course, this is not without precedent. At the beginning, it was widely anticipated. Under Jackie Chan, Jet Li's first collaboration of ": the king of kung fu " met with word-of-mouth, and it failed at the box office and became the "King of Kings". Classic case.
Except for the two action superstars on the same stage, Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow were released in the same year as " glass bottle " and " king of comedy ".
Compared with Jackie Chan, Zhou Run’s top-of-the-line invoices were already prominent in the 1980s, and the "king of comedy" Zhou Xing's journey was not bumpy.
Although he entered ATV as early as 1980, Zhou Xingchi has always been in the stage of filming, and he has also been a children's show host for 4 years during this period.
While Stephen Chow was still hosting the children's program, he did not expect that a martial arts athlete named Jet Li would have become a mess on the mainland with Shaolin Temple.
In 1988, Li Xiuxian's wise eyes and beading brought Stephen Chow to the crew of " Pioneer". After years of soy sauce thief, Stephen Chow really seized the opportunity and got the opportunity to steal the golden horse. Award for best supporting actor, let the public really remember him.
Because of his excellent acting skills, Zhou Xingchi has been playing some clever young people in the market for a long time.
In the same year, Jet Li's self-directed and self-acted "Chinese Hero" suffered a fiasco at the box office. Jet Li remained silent in the film industry for 2 years, during which few works came out.
You can hardly imagine that Jet Li and Stephen Chow would appear in the same movie with two seemingly unrelated actors. However, there was such a movie in 1989 that made the two dreamlike appear in the same movie.
Jet Li is the leading role and Stephen Chow is the supporting role. There are fierce fights from fist to flesh, wild racing scenes, gangster vendettas, and even the ""Hong Kong homicide director" Deng Yancheng .
In addition to the only gimmick between the two of them, this movie also brought Jet Li and Lizhi to an end, and also brought and his wife Huang Qiuyan to the end of their marriage.
It seems that this movie is very meaningful no matter from which angle you look at it.
Stop talking nonsense, let Cha Cha bring you this Jet Li, Stephen Chow’s only movie, "Dragon at the End of the World" ! ! !
Li Lianjie as the protagonist, Zhou Xingchi plays the exotic adventure story of his little fanboy
The Chinese martial arts team was invited to the United States for martial arts performances. As the team’s pillar Li Guonan, he received a warm response from the audience. Among them, the local youth Ayou was impressed by Li Guonan's superb martial arts.
The senior fellow with Li Guonan, Awei, was confused by the colorful environment abroad,Knowing that his future was bleak after returning to China, Awei fled the team while boarding the plane. When Li Guonan was entangled with him, he didn't want to delay boarding time and was stranded in the United States.
On the way to absconding, Awei killed the policeman by mistake, but did not want to leave Li Guonan with his wallet and drop it on the scene of the crime. Li Guonan, who was not alone in misfortune, became a scapegoat for Awei’s police station. .
There was an accident in the car during the escort. Li Guonan took advantage of the chaos and escaped and rescued a pair of sisters and brothers who were pursued and killed. Unfortunately, his brother died on the street because of his injuries.
Just when Li Guonan was desperate, he happened to meet Ayou, a young man who had admired him for a long time. Ayou not only helped Li Guonan escape the police chase, he was more willing to take him in his own home.
Li Guonan, who is unfamiliar with life and place, can only help Ayou with a part-time job, while searching for Awei for the truth.
At the same time, with his kung fu, Ah Wei quickly gained the appreciation of local gangsters and became a powerful force in the underworld. The boss criticized him quite a bit.
Li Guonan finally meets Awei, and he persuades Awei to surrender, but Awei persuades Li Guonan to work hard with him in the underworld.
Ah Wei introduced Li Guonan to his boss on the pretext of helping Li Guonan go home. But he didn't want the boss to refuse without hesitation. Li Guonan didn't want to embarrass his friends, so he politely refused Awei's help and persuaded him to return to the right path.
At the dinner table, Li Guonan once again met the woman who had been rescued before. After talking, he learned that,The identity of this woman is Ah Ling, the mistress of Awei's boss, and the boss beats her all day to satisfy his animal desires. Two lonely hearts gradually got closer and closer.
Awei was intercepted by the police while conducting illegal transactions. In the chaos, Ayou accidentally picked up a package of Awei’s goods and hid it, but did not want to be used by his uncle as washing powder.
Ah Wei mistakenly thought that Li Guonan had snatched his goods, and he was restricted to deliver them within 12 hours. Ayou, who knew he had caused a catastrophe, asked Li Guonan and his uncle for forgiveness, but didn't want Awei to have been in ambush in the shop for a long time. Uncle was killed and Ayou was beaten to death by Awei.
Li Guonan, who was rescued by A Ling, vowed to seek justice for the dead Ayou and others. When the two were fighting, the gang killed them all. After solving the last boss, Awei confessed to Li Guonan before his death, and died with hatred.
The end of the story
Brothers turn against the eyes, the gangsters vendetta, " Dragon at the End of the World" is still a Jet Li style story _p img24h1 p0 _p img24h1 p0 Neither Jet Li’s works nor Zhou Xingchi’s works are outstanding. The story of a martial arts champion who has suffered an accident in a foreign country and cannot go home can be regarded as an old tune. The cultural differences between the two countries are used to create conflicts and conflicts in the story. Carry forward.
"Professional villain" Di Wei is considered to be the prototype of the creation of " Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng ", and grew up with the protagonist, although the two sides are in different camps.But I still don't forget to share the glory and wealth with my brothers. Unfortunately, Di Wei's acting skills are far inferior to Qian Xiaohao .
At this time, Stephen Chow is still at the beginning of his career. Although several funny clips in the film are driven by him, there is no nonsense shadow afterwards. Perhaps at this time, Stephen Chow still wants to follow his teacher Li Xiuxian's plan plays the role of some glib, hapless little brother from time to time.
But this kind of role is not to mention Stephen Chow, even if it is Zhang Weijian , Ge Minhui can do it. Fortunately, Stephen Chow's timely transformation has laid the foundation for him to become the king of comedy.
If it weren't for Stephen Chow and Jet Li’s starring, "Dragon on the Horizon" can only be regarded as a commercial film on the pipeline, and obviously not the same as the "God of Gamblers" and "The Bloody Duo" released in the same year. Grade.
This movie became the love story between Jet Li and his wife Li Zhi, and the tragedy of his marriage with Huang Qiuyan
Long before the filming of "The End of the Dragon", Jet Li had a family, and his wife was not someone else. It is Huang Qiuyan who has worked with " Shaolin Boy" and "North and South Shaolin" before.
In addition to being a colleague in the movie, Huang Qiuyan is also a fellow sister who grew up with Jet Li. Because they get along day and night, the two have no guesses, childhood sweethearts.
Jet Li was injured on the way to the filming, after the guidance of an expert, Jet Li decided to use the "marriage and joy" method to treat himself. In this way, Huang Qiuyan and Jet Li married in a low-key manner.
The self-written and self-directed "Chinese Heroes" lost at the box office, coupled with the failure of the business,Jet Li, who didn't want to film anymore, received an invitation letter from "The End of the Dragon". Huang Qiuyan also encouraged her husband to actively seize this opportunity, but she didn't want to dig the first place for her marriage to break down.
Faced with Li Zhi, who was once a Miss Hong Kong, Jet Li fell in love at first sight and loved vigorously. He even faced his feelings directly with his wife Huang Qiuyan. Jet Li once described him as "willing to die for her" when he saw Li Zhi.
In 1991, Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan agreed to divorce, leaving the US real estate to Huang Qiuyan to leave the house. The two children were raised by Huang Qiuyan alone, and the couple were like passers-by.
Jet Li still expresses no regrets about his decision. "Dragon at the End of the World", a movie with special significance for Jet Li, has become an alternative to Hong Kong films that will last forever in the annals of history.
