Jet Li is the emperor of Kung Fu famous at home and abroad. His success is inevitable and cannot be replicated. Although many Kung Fu actors known as Jet Jet’s successors emerged in the circle, they did not reach his height.
Jet Li’s career peak should have been in Hong Kong during those years, from Shaw Brothers to Jiahe to Zhengdong, every step was reasonable and reasonable, and his career took him to the next level. In particular, the Zhengdong Film Company founded by him and Yuan Kui, although not many works, but all of them are classics.
In 195, Jet Li’s appearance in "Black Man" attracted the attention of international filmmakers and began to prepare plans to enter Hollywood. At this time, he and Yuan Kui discussed the cultivation of Zhao Wenzhuo as his successor in the Hong Kong market. Because Zhao Wenzhuo's performance in "Fang Shiyu" was amazing and was favored by Tsui Hark, Jet Li naturally valued him very much.
Yuan Kui tailor-made "Sparrow Flying Dragon" for Zhao Wenzhuo in 1997, and there is also an action film called "Blue Blood and Blue Sky" with Jet Li as the producer.
"Blue Blood and Blue Sky" was released in 1998. It tells the story of Chinese agents fighting terrorists in Europe. At that time, Hong Kong movies had begun to pay attention to the mainland market. Jet Li also hoped that "Blue Blood and Blue Sky" would be welcomed in the mainland. To this end, the film not only added a large number of mainland actors, but also specially shot in Shenzhen.
However, this movie has a strong Jet Li atmosphere, like an upgraded version of "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", but also because of some sensitive issues, it was banned from broadcasting, and it was not shown in the mainland. Although the investment is huge, the box office is dismal.
In addition to the Hong Kong film's downturn at the time, Zhao Wenzhuo also faced the predicament of not being able to film after this drama, and later moved to the TV industry and fell into a trough. Although Zhao Wenzhuo is still struggling in the entertainment industry, his works are obviously not as good as before.
