In the role arrangement of New Shanghai Beach, Tsui Hark wanted Leslie Cheung to play Xu Wenqiang. He went to Liu Dehua and said that Ding Li's role was very good and suitable for you.
Also mentioned is the movie 'Black Hero', which earned Jet Li the favor of Hollywood.
"The Dark Knight" was released in 1996. Among Jet Li's series of works, its popularity is not high, which is far from that of "Shaolin Monastery", "Wong Fei-hung", "Fang Shiyu", "Elite Heroes", etc.
So why is it that helped Jet Li knock open the door to Hollywood? Today, let's talk about the past and present lives of the movie "Black Man".
01. After 4 years, Tsui Hark and Jet Li resumed their relationship
Jet Li's success is inseparable from Tsui Hark, and their first collaboration was in 1989 when they filmed 'Dragon Travels in the World'.
However, this film was pressed to the bottom of the box at that time and was not released. It was only after the fire of Wong Fei-hung that it changed its name to Dragon of Wong Fei-hung '92 and was released on May 28, 1992.
After "The Dragon Goes All Over the World", Tsui Hark customized the trilogy "Wong Fei-hung" for Jet Li, turning the Shaolin boy into a great master. Since then, another kung fu superstar has been added to the Chinese film world.

After mediation, Jet Li parted ways with Jiahe after finishing filming Wong Fei-hung 3.

On the other hand, we cooperated with Yongsheng to shoot films such as The Devil Sect Leader of Heaven Reliance Dragon Slaughter, Wong Fei-hung's Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede, and the Five Ancestors of New Shaolin.
After four years of separation, Tsui Hark and Jet Li, led by Yongsheng, continued their relationship and jointly created 'Black Hero'.
But Tsui Hark's identity this time is not as a director, but as a producer and screenwriter. The director is Li Rengang, but he is only a worker, and Tsui Hark is the soul of the entire work.
The behind the scenes team of the film is very luxurious. The Stunt coordinator is Yuan Heping, the eighth master. His deputies are Gu Xuanzhao and Dion Lam. The martial arts masters are Ling Zhihua, Chen Shaohua, Du Fuwei, Qin Guibao, etc.
Eighth Master Yuan Heping, Xu Ke and Wong Fei-hung gathered again in the old "Audio-Technica", which was a natural gimmick.
In addition to Tsui Hark, there are also three screenwriters: Xu An, Chen Desen, and Ma Weihao. The deputy directors include Zheng Baorui, Huang Qingxun, and the music is handed over to Teddy Robin.
