When Jet Li shot "Bodyguards of Zhongnanhai", why did he require 9 bodyguards to protect him before he was willing to shoot!

We all know that Jet Li is a generation of martial arts masters in the domestic film and television industry. Although his nationality is Singaporean, he is still the descendants of Chinese children and grandchildren, and he has the same blood.

As early as 1982, director Zhang Xinyan Zhang filmed a phenomenal martial arts film "Shaolin Temple", which starred Jet Li. This film completely changed many people's imagination of Chinese martial arts. This should be placed in the current martial arts movies and even the previous movies, often slow, slow martial arts shots, or Hu Qiao's Sanda. But in this movie, the scenes show the real martial arts scenes, simple movements, let the audience really feel the lean and exquisite Chinese martial arts.

​​This film is Jet Li’s debut, but also his famous work. In the play, his every move is full of drama. In the era when there were no special effects rendering, the real fists and feet, and the bare-handed confrontation also let the audience see the intention and sincerity of the actors and the director. After

, he became popular after the film. Since then, he has become famous. Later, he has portrayed the image of powerful martial arts masters such as Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, etc., which were praised by the audience. His image setting has also begun to be established in people's minds.

Many people admire him for being so famous at a young age, but what the outside world does not know is that the bright and beautiful actors and stars also have unknown distress. In the 1980s and 1990s, famous actors and stars like Jet Li were often threatened by Hong Kong gangs. Jet Li also said in an interview later that he had been threatened and oppressed by gangs many times, so that he had to ask multiple bodyguards to protect him when shooting movies.

, especially when filming "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", when the gang had already invaded the Hong Kong film and television circle, many directors rushed to find him for filming, and even started a series of battles. The crew was also very worried that his personal safety would be threatened, so he arranged 9 bodyguards to protect him. Jet Li also said that one of the bodyguards at the time became an assistant and a full-time driver by his side.

In fact, what we know is far from enough to explain the power of the gang at that time, and it is not just Jet Li who had such deeds. Even some well-known movie stars such as Andy Lau and Jackie Chan have been coerced. Fortunately, after Hong Kong returned to the motherland a few years later, and the entertainment industry began to be planned and governed, this chaotic situation was calmed down. After that, the phenomenon of celebrities being oppressed by personal safety gradually disappeared.
