What you didn't know when Jet Li filmed Fang Shiyu.

Things you don't know about Jet Li filming Fang Shiyu.

1. After working with Tsui Hark on three Huang Feihong films, on the one hand, Jet Li didn't want to be solidified by the role of Huang Feihong, on the other hand, the contradiction with, the behind-the-scenes employer of Huang Feihong, became increasingly prominent. Under the comprehensive effect, Jet Li set up Zhengdong Film Company himself, so he began to find his own investment, set up his own team and shoot the films he wanted. So Fang Shiyu was born.

2. Because Jet Li didn't want to be solidified by Huang Feihong, the cast of "Fang Shiyu" specially invited Liu Zhenwei to write the script, so there were many funny plots in the film, and Jet Li tried how to make a nonsense comedy. Besides Liu Zhenwei, Chen Jianzhong and Cai Kangyong also participated in the script creation, so many delicate emotional scenes in the film are probably completed by Cai Kangyong. The opening sports meeting scene was obviously written, because before that, he had just participated in the screenwriter creation of Wu Zhuangyuan Su, and there were also sports meeting scenes.

The director and martial arts director of this film is Yuan Kui, and his "Safety First" is included in the sequel of Fang Shiyu. He is a very low-key member of Seven Fu Xiao Zhong, but his level of directing and martial arts instruction is not lower than that of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and other senior brothers. For example, he co-directed Gambling Saint with Liu Zhenwei, which made Stephen Chow famous. For example, he once directed "Senior Sister", which made Yang Ziqiong famous. Another example is the films of Zhengdong period in Jet Li, such as Fang Shiyu series, five ancestors of new Shaolin, letters to dad, bodyguards in Zhongnanhai, etc. , also directed or directed by Yuan Kui. It is not difficult to see that Jet Li appreciates him very much. This appreciation also extended to Jet Li's Hollywood period, and films such as Fatal Romeo, Kiss of the Dragon, Savior and Cradle of Death were also directed by Yuan Kui.

In this movie, Fang Shiyu's mother is played by Xiao Fangfang, who is a very independent and inspirational actor. At that time, cafes were bigger than those in Jet Li. I don't want to repeat his story here. For example, when he participated in this film, he was deaf in his right ear, but she still insisted on completing the performance and dubbing herself, because in his view, the success of the actor's interpretation depends on two factors, one is acting and the other is dialogue.

5. Just after Huang Feihong, Jet Li filmed Fang Shiyu with the same martial arts theme, and the shape was similar. Will the audience get bored? The HK$ 30 million box office shows that the audience is not bored, and indirectly shows that Jet Li has acting skills. Although similar in appearance, Jet Li's vision and interpretation of roles are completely different from those of Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu. Therefore, many viewers simply don't feel the overlapping roles.
