film and television circles. The well-known ones are Yu Hai, Jet Li, Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhang Jin, Wu Yue, Xiong Xinxin, etc., as well as Zhao Changjun, South Boxing King Qiu Jianguo, Qiu Yunbo, Yuan Qing, etc., the most famous Naturally, it is Jet Li. Although some of them are not as famous as Jet Li in the film and television circles, they are in the martial arts world. They missed the best time to enter the film world and failed to become Kung Fu stars like Jet Li. A big loss in the film and television industry, they are "little known" today.
1, Zhao Changjun: The most widely circulated sentence in the martial arts circle is: “In the 70s, it was Jet Li’s world, in the 1980s it was Zhao Changjun’s world, and in the 1990s it was the original Qing dynasty. Although Zhao Changjun and Jet Li were considered athletes of the same period, they were only in the same period. Shaanxi’s Zhao Changjun did not have as many opportunities as Jet Li in Beijing, so he became a bit late. Of course, in martial arts, he did not lose to Jet Li. He has won the individual all-around champion in martial arts competitions ten times and is a "very winning general" in the martial arts world. People can break his record.
After Jet Li became popular with "Shaolin Temple", many filmmakers followed suit, so Zhao Changjun starred in the first movie "Wudang" in 1983. He partnered with Lin Quan, which is a slow-motion martial arts. Although there is a big gap between the production and "Shaolin Temple", it is also a childhood memory for many people. Later, he collaborated with Chen Yongxia on "Fang Shiyu" and Ge Chunyan on "Big Sword King Five".
many 70 and 80 You should know that Zhao Changjun’s "Legend of Sea Lantern" once set off a sea lantern craze. When it was broadcast, it reached the point where thousands of people were empty. Even if you watch it now, it will be quite sensible. The young audience of the film mentioned above may not know it.
, But if you talk about "One Sword Allure", you should know it, also known as "Shenzhou First Sword", directed by Sammo Hung. Ti Lung, Guan Zhilin, Yang Lijing, and Zou Zhaolong also participated in the performance. Zhao Changjun played the role of Yuan Shikai, betraying his brothers for his own future.
"One Sword Allure" can only be said to be untimely. In 1993, the martial arts film was released together. It had no chance to break through, but the failure of the box office does not mean that the film is not good. On the contrary, it has long been a god in the minds of movie fans. I have watched it many times, and it is still known as the martial arts movie with the best lines, such as: Drinking a glass of wine, you can't kill the enemy! You can get out of the prison, and you can't get out of the world. Treasure...
Zhao Changjun was able to break into the film industry like Jet Li. After all, he also met Sammo Hung back then, and the two had a very good personal relationship. However, after the leadership, Zhao Changjun chose to root in the martial arts circle, open a martial arts school, and cultivate martial arts talents. , To promote Chinese martial arts. Later, when talking about regrets, he said that if he could come back, he might go to filming. After all, he was inclined to make movies at the time.
would also like to mention Donnie Yen. He once worshipped Zhao Changjun as Teacher, studied for a whole year, this year's learning experience also laid a solid foundation for him to work hard in the film industry, and Yen Zidan often talked about his martial arts experience in public.
2, Xu Xiangdong: This although He is not a national martial arts champion, but he is the one with the highest academic qualifications in the martial arts world. He also had the opportunity to enter the film and television industry like Jet Li. In 1985, he participated in "Kapok robes" directed by Xu Xiaoming, in which Xu Xiangdong played the sixth ancestor of Zen Huineng. Both martial arts and performances are well received. Lianjie's style.
It's a pity that Xu Xiangdong didn't take advantage of this momentum to enter the film and television industry, but chose to go to university and studied at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education for 4 years, so he missed the best chance to become famous. In contrast, another starring in the film, Yu Rongguang, later collaborated with Xu Xiaoming in "The Mirage", and then went to the Hong Kong film industry to develop. He has become a well-known action actor in the film and television industry. If Xu Xiangdong also entered the film industry, I believe it would not Poor.
Xu Xiangdong later obtained a bachelor's degree in martial arts from the Beijing Institute of Physical Education, as well as a doctoral student at the University of Paris 7 in France. He is often invited to foreign countries as coaches and lectures, which is another success! Maybe he really likes acting, so we can see him later in "Wing Chun", "Overlord of Western Chu" and "Banquet at the Great Gate".
At the same time, Xu Xiangdong has also participated in many TV dramas, such as "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" Niu Co-lu, "Shaolin Wuwang" Yuanzhao, "New Water Margin" Shi WengongWait, but everyone is more familiar with the "Tai Chi Master" he collaborated with Wu Jing, in which Dong Hancheng's role is shaped by him.
3. Text Qing: He is the world martial arts all-around champion and is known as the prince of martial arts. Before 1995, he had chosen to retire and was ready to develop into the film and television industry. He cooperated with Yuan Heping in "The Iron Horse II: Street Killer" and appeared in Ah Jin Yijiao, looking for his unaccounted father, finally teamed up with Donnie Yen to fight against the traitorous jade-faced tiger and his hand Billy next week. Yuan Qing's performance in it is not eye-catching, but the villain boss Jade Tiger stole the limelight. After
, he filmed the co-production of China and Singapore "The Wonder of the Wall", in which he played Zhuo Yihang. The story is adapted from the three books of "The Story of the White-haired Witch" + "The Legend of the Swordsman" + "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains", which can be described as wonderful. I have to say that the Singapore dramas of the year were quite popular in the Mainland, such as "Lotus Contest", "The True Life of the Little Monk", "Journey to the East" and so on.
Later, the Shanxi Provincial Sports Commission wanted to invite him to help out because the martial arts team members did not have the qualifications to win the championship. On the one hand, it was to show off in the film and television industry, fame and fortune, and on the other hand, it cultivated its own provincial sports committee and its own teachers. After some hesitation, Yuanqing gave up fame and fortune, chose to return, and actively trained and prepared, and finally won the 8th National Games Changquan champion, sword and stick all-around champion. Someone asked him later, do you regret it? He replied with regret, but never regretted it. It is really rare to see a man who is so grateful.
After the new century, Yuanqing also participated in Ju Jueliang's "Chivalrous Heart" and Chen Xunqi's "Kung Fu King", but they were all small roles and did not attract much attention. It is said that Yuanqing is now a coach.
Zhao Changjun, Xu Xiangdong, and Yuan Wenqing were all able to enter the film and television industry and become Kung Fu stars, but some had their own choices to spread martial arts, some to go to school, and some to repay their kindness. In fact, there is nothing wrong with any choice, as long as you think it is right. However, we can assume that if they chose to enter the film industry that year, would they have any hope of becoming a superstar like Jet Li?
