The older generation of Kung Fu stars Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc. will always be spread rumors of critical illness or death. Among them, Jet Li may be the biggest, and the headlines are very scary.

In 1982, the average income of Chinese people was tens of dollars a month. At that time, the country's economic strength was still relatively backward. "Shaolin Temple" finally won 160 million box office. It is said that the movie ticket that year was a dime.

"Shaolin Temple" with a production cost of 2 million Hong Kong dollars was released in Hong Kong on January 21. The box office performance was also outstanding, winning 16.15 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the fourth place in Hong Kong's annual box office that year. Shaolin Kungfu craze has permeated the entire Chinese film circle, and the 17-year-old Jet Li has since become a top Chinese film star.

Before becoming famous, Jet Li, the male number one of "Shaolin Temple", was born in a family of ordinary workers in Beijing. When he was 2 years old, his father died. When he was in elementary school, he was caught by martial arts coach Wu Binhui.

​​Since then Jet Li began to follow him into the sports school to learn Chinese martial arts. In the 1970s, Jet Li won the championships and gold medals in Chinese martial arts competitions many times. He was received by Premier Zhou Enlai and visited the then US President Nixon at the White House.

Before the appearance of "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li, many forest-themed movies appeared in the 1970s, such as "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan", "The Five Ancestors of Shaolin", "Children of Shaolin", Jackie Chan's version of "Shaolin Muren" The Lane, "The Thirty-Six Chambers of Shaolin" starring Liu Jiahui, "Master of Shaolin Scaffolding", "Eighteen Martial Arts" and so on. Why did

film "Shaolin Temple" in the Mainland? It is said that it was because Zong Daochen, the founder of the Boxing Alliance from Shaolin Temple in Japan, visited the Shaolin Temple in Songshan in China again after 44 years.

At that time, the Japanese friend Zong Daochen was received by General Liao Chengzhi, director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, and Sun Pinghua, vice chairman of the China-Japan Friendship Association.

Zong Daochen is very interested in Chinese Shaolin culture. Liao Chengzhi suggested that Liao Yiyuan, chairman of Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company, shoot a movie about Shaolin Temple.

"Shaolin Temple" was originally in charge of the Hong Kong director. He decided to set up a scene for filming in Hong Kong. The actors were all artists from the Beijing Opera Troupe of Henan, but Zong Daochen was very dissatisfied after watching the filmed footage. In order to improve the shooting effect and quality, the film company had to invite director Zhang Xinyan to fight the fire. Director Zhang Xinyan decided to modify the script and add some comedy elements. All the original Peking opera actors were eliminated, and he decided to select martial arts athletes across the country. Jet Li at the time of

was eliminated because his height did not reach the standard of 170cm. Later, through comprehensive consideration, director Zhang Xinyan decided to make Jet Li the male number one in "Shaolin Temple". Other actors Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua, Hu Jianqiang, Sun Jiankui, etc. all have solid martial arts skills. The crew also went to Songshan Shaolin Temple for live shooting. The effect is far beyond the previous similar subjects.

Zong Daochen was very satisfied with the "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li, and decided to purchase the screening rights. The release in Japan also caused great repercussions. Later, the Shaolin craze caused by the movie "Shaolin Temple" spread to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States and other overseas markets.
