Do you still remember the movie " Shaolin Temple " that made Jet Li fire? The movie "Shaolin Temple", which was released in 1982, set a box office myth of 161578014 yuan at a ticket price of 1 cent.
This movie can be said to have made Jet Li and laid a solid foundation for his future development in the film and television industry.
But what you may not know is that the hero of "Shaolin Temple" was originally not Jet Li but someone else. Jet Li joined the crew temporarily after half of the filming and became the hero. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jet Li has robbed the original male lead.
The original male protagonist of "Shaolin Temple" was named Wu Gang. Wu Gang was a Hong Kong actor of the last century. Wu Gang himself actually cherishes the filming opportunity of this movie. Every morning, Wu Gang can be said to be the first to arrive. The crew. With Wu Gang's efforts, the shooting of "Shaolin Temple" went smoothly.
However, the crew has changed when the pre-shooting has been almost completed. Zhang Xinyan was invited to the crew to serve as the chief director and producer. Although Wu Gang is excellent, he is an actor who does not know martial arts in Zhang Xinyan's eyes. It is very inappropriate to shoot this martial arts movie, so Wu Gang was dismissed from the crew.
At this time Jet Li, who became popular with the national martial arts competition, entered Zhang Xinyan's sight, and the excellent work of "Shaolin Temple" was also completely praised. Jet Li did not have any acting experience at the time. Xiaobai.
It is not always true that Jet Li stole Wu Gang's actor status. "Shaolin Temple" made Jet Li, and Jet Li is not the soul of "Shaolin Temple"! It can only be said to be mutual achievement.
