How did "Shaolin Temple" stir the world in 1982?

Shaolin Temple, starring Jet Li, Ding Lan, Ji Chunhua, Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui and other kung fu stars, set off a kung fu craze in 1982, and its influence was no less than that of any classic film known at that time. In addition to the upsurge of learning Kung Fu in China, it has also influenced many audiences abroad, giving them a deeper understanding of China Kung Fu.

Every successful movie has its own reasons, and Shaolin Temple is no exception. At the beginning of the filming of Shaolin Temple, in order to achieve the authenticity of the film, all the shots in the film were taken in real scenes, and the scenery in the film was very magnificent and beautiful, which surprised many viewers. In addition to the real shooting, the main actors in the film are real martial arts experts. Jet Li, the leading actor, won the national all-around Wushu championship for five consecutive years from 1975 to 1979, and other leading actors also have deep martial arts skills. All the duet scenes in the film are played by actors themselves, involving more than a dozen martial arts and weapons, which fully shows the profoundness of China Wushu.

The copyright of Shaolin Temple was snapped up by foreign filmmakers during the filming. After the film was released, it set a new box office record in all countries. Even some cinemas in Thailand were brought back to life because of Shaolin Temple and invited the audience back.

"Shaolin Temple" has left us with a classic lens, and it has also become an unforgettable memory for many people. Do you still remember the impulse to learn martial arts after watching "Shaolin Temple"? (LR)

If Bruce Lee is the first hero who promoted China Wushu to the world, then the film Shaolin Temple is the masterpiece that promoted China Wushu to the world for the second time.

Let's talk about the sensational strength of this film, from both domestic and foreign perspectives.

After the film was released, it caused a spectacle of thousands of people. You know, at that time, although the ticket price was only 1 cents, it actually sold 14 million box office. At that time, in China, both men, women and children talked about this film, which was the pinnacle of martial arts films at that time, and was even called an epoch-making work in the history of martial arts films. It was after this film that many people who love martial arts became obsessed with Shaolin Kungfu, Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Lohan. Subsequently, a new wave of martial arts training began all over the country, and various martial arts schools blossomed all over the country, becoming a brand-new and huge industrial chain.

The film Shaolin Temple has a great influence not only at home, but also abroad. Today, hundreds of thousands of foreign disciples in Shaolin Temple are a good proof. This film has also received strong support in Japan. The Japanese Shaolin monk Zong Daochen once said that "if you climb, you have to climb to the Shaolin Temple to return to the Sect", which shows that this film has a profound influence on him. Then he bought the right to show the film in Japan and promoted it in Japan, which shocked the whole country.

So, why on earth can the film Shaolin Temple cause such a great sensation? I think the most important thing is:

The film Shaolin Temple not only created a generation of superstar Jet Li, but also enabled the whole world to get a glimpse of the true connotation of Chinese Wushu spirit. Although this is an old film, I don't think we should miss this classic work in the post-9s and post-s. I believe that after watching this "Shaolin Temple", you will have as many touches in your heart as I do.
