Chinese? I don't need a editor to know that it is the Emperor of Kung Fu Jet Li, he has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, and he is known as a rare martial arts wizard in a century. After Jet Jet entered the film industry, he became famous with "Shaolin Temple". The film's global box office exceeded 188 million US dollars that year, setting a record for the highest-selling Chinese film history.
Jet Li's film career is very brilliant, but a few films have always been "regrets" in his heart. Films such as "New Dragon Inn", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Matrix" passed by. The latter two are quite a pity, because they are too sensational internationally. If Jet Li took over his acting career, he would definitely be even more brilliant. Many years later, he also revealed the reasons for rejecting the film.
Jet Li did not act as "New Dragon Inn" is a last resort, after parting ways with Jiahe, Cai Ziming helped him settle everything. Just as the filming was about to start, there was bad news that agent Cai Ziming was shot and killed, and the movie was gone. The film is one of the pinnacles of Hong Kong's martial arts films. Although its box office performance is not as popular as "Unbeaten in the East", it has a great influence. It is a pity that Jet Li did not make it.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an international blockbuster, which won 4 awards including Oscar "Best Foreign Language Film". At the box office, it is even more invincible. North America madly collected US$128 million, setting a historical box office record for Hollywood foreign language films. Jet Li had already agreed to act, but when the film started, he ran into his wife Lizhi and became pregnant. Everyone knows that Jet Li is a good man at home. How can he rest assured to make a movie when his wife needs it most?
It is a great pity that Jet Li failed to cooperate with Ang Lee. In the early years, it was reported that the two would cooperate on "Tai Chi". Now it seems that the hope is getting less and less, because Jet Li has been out of shadow for many years. Jet Li gained a firm foothold in Hollywood with the box office blast of "Fatal Romeo". At that time, the Warner film studios liked him very much and invited him to appear in the "The Matrix" series, but Jet Li rejected it. Many years later Jet Li self-exposed and rejected the "Hacker" The reason for the Empire.
Jet Li revisited this topic in an interview with Lu Yu. Lu Yu: Did you struggle when pushing the "The Matrix" later? Jet Li: That was a commercial struggle. I think the Americans asked me to shoot for 3 months, but let me participate in the crew for 9 months and 6 months to copy all my dynamics into a computer database. After that, the copyright belongs to him. of.
Jet Li went on to say: Then I’m already thinking about it, 5 years later, 10 years later, the science and technology, I practiced martial arts for a lifetime, the copyright will become American, and one day you will wear any of them. Human clothes, everything that can be typed out of any thing is all yours, we will only get older and older, your thing can always become your intellectual property, then I say I will not do it.
"The Matrix" is basically an American "conspiracy" and a "trap". Jet Li saw it at a glance. As a Chinese, how could he make such money? The box office of the series was very successful. The three global box offices received $1.632 billion, which also allowed the actor Keanu Reeves to reach the peak of his career. But Jet Li has nothing to regret. The "Dragon Kiss" and other films he took are also very successful. As he said, "Hollywood wants to copy my actions to buy out the copyright", then I will definitely not do it.
It was really not easy for Chinese to break into Hollywood in the early years. It is really great for Jet Li to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Jet Li revealed that he rejected "The Matrix" because Hollywood wanted to copy my actions and buy out the copyright. What do you think of this? After the great success of "Wandering Earth", Hollywood studios can no longer sit still. It is rumored that Hollywood funders have invested heavily in buying out domestic media to stigmatize Wu Jing and others, and to destroy domestic science fiction films. Really thief.
