Hong Kong action movies are second to none in the Chinese film industry. Thanks to many kung fu stars and martial arts instructors, Hong Kong has many excellent martial arts directors, such as Liu Jialiang, Tang Jia, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Kui, Dong Wei and others, to say the most famous words, should be the world's number one military finger Yuan Heping.
Yuan Heping, known as the Eighth Master of Jianghu, comes from the family of Kung Fu. His father Yuan Xiaotian was one of the earliest martial arts instructors in Hong Kong. However, he was afraid that his son would not be willing to discipline him by his side, so he sent him to study at Zhanyuan Theatre Academy. Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan are also brothers, and they already knew each other at that time.
Yuan Heping is hailed as the world’s number one martial artist. There is a basis for it. One naturally designed action that can perfectly integrate the plot required by the director. It is not a vague and simple action, when to use what weapon or how to fight. It is thought. The other is that he has been popular among many Kung Fu superstars, such as Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, etc., which can be called superstar promoters.
First of all, Jackie Chan, before cooperating with Yuan Heping, has been unknown until they cooperated with "Snake-shaped Hand" and "Drunken Boxing". The two people can be regarded as mutual achievements. If you do not meet both sides, it is estimated that they will be famous at night. year.
is Yen Zidan, Yuan Heping’s apprentice, who was once a member of the Yuan family class. The first time he cooperated with "Laughing Tai Chi", Yuan Heping let him be the leading actor, and the leading actress was the fat sister Shen Dianxia. In the 1980s, Yen Zidan participated in Yuan Heping's "Love Meets the Enemy", "Special Police Slaying the Dragon" and "Royal Sister 4", and the response was relatively ordinary.
In the 1990s, Yen Zidan and Tsui Hark collaborated on "New Dragon Inn" and "Huang Feihong 2", which attracted much attention, and then cooperated with Yuan Heping on "Su Qier", "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Monkey", "Wing Chun" and "Iron Monkey" 2" and other movies, although the quality of the film is good, but in action movies, there are always two mountains of Jackie Chan and Jet Li on the head of Yen Zidan, it is really difficult to have a bright future. It wasn't until Yen Zidan met the "Ip Man" series that he truly entered the ranks of first-line action superstars. After his fame, Yen Zidan did not forget his master's favor and participated in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny" two years ago.
Wu Jing can be said to be the most popular action star in the past two years. The "Wolf Warrior" series has not only made a lot of money, but also won fame. It is said that "Wolf Warrior 3" is currently under preparation and the weapon will be upgraded again. As everyone knows, the first works of Wu Jing's film and TV series, "Kung Fu Boy Breaking through Love," and "Tai Chi Grand Master" were all directed by Yuan Heping, and the same was true of the later "Little Li Fei Dao".
It is no exaggeration to say that Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Wu Jing would not say they would not be famous if they hadn't met Yuan Heping, but at least they would have spent many years at night. Of course, when Yuan Heping also lost, he once praised two people, but unfortunately they all disappeared in the end.
Let’s take a look at Li Yuanba first. Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping once joined hands to promote Jackie Chan, so they thought of holding another Jackie Chan out, so they found Li Yuanba who lives in the United States. Li Yuanba looks similar to Jackie Chan, and also has a martial arts ability, 1982 Invited him to participate in "Dragon Ninja", which was a big hit at the box office afterwards, and Li Yuanba became famous because of this and was described as "a new generation of Jackie Chan".
Li Yuanba, who has just become famous recently, is a little bit off. When discussing cooperation matters with Taiwanese filmmakers, he told them that Wu Siyuan could be dealt with because his contract was with Wu Siyuan. Then Wu Siyuan was beaten up in Taiwan Province. Who is Wu Siyuan? The godfather-level figures of Hong Kong film industry have been popular with too many superstars, and they are more than enough to deal with one Li Yuanba, so he ordered to be banned, and then Li Yuanba disappeared for several years.
It was not until 1988 when Liu Jialiang was filming "The Tiger Shows" for the New Art City Film Company that he was re-used. He played a pair of police officers with Chow Yun-fat. Fa Ge was responsible for the funny, he was responsible for showing muscles. The effect was not bad. He also starred in sequels and movies such as "The Gangster", "The New Best Partner", "The Wind and Clouds of the Soul", and "Zhang Baozi". In the late 1990s, Li Yuanba returned to the United States to develop, and also participated in some Hollywood movies, such as "Deadly Weapon 4".
After the new century, there is basically no news about him. Until two years ago, I heard that he would come back again and said he would fight again. Do you expect it? Li Yuanba was able to grow into a generation of celebrities back then, but unfortunately because of his lack of silence, he finally missed the bestOpportunity to become famous.
Yuan Heping praised his younger brother Yuan Richu. Yuan Richu is the more handsome one among the Yuan Jiaban brothers, so Yuan Heping praised him as the leading actor. After all, the fertilizer does not flow out of the field. Yuan Richu also started as a dragon and tiger martial artist, and once participated in Zhang Che's "Boxing" and "Ma Yongzhen" and other films. After Yuan Jiaban established a film company in the 1980s, Yuan Richu played the leading role in films such as "Qimen Dunjia", "Heavenly Master Hit the Evil" and "Heavenly Master". These imaginative films are still outdated today. Absolutely beat last year's "Qi Men Dun Jia".
Yuan Richu performed well, but these films did not sell well at the box office. Later, Yuan Heping found Yen Zidan and used him to replace his brother. And Yuan Richu also turned from the protagonist to a supporting role, participating in films such as "Royal Sister 4", perhaps influenced by several early Daoist-element films, or disappointed in the entertainment industry. After the 90s, Yuan Richu became a member. Famous Taoist priest, there has been no news since then. There are too many factors for
to become famous. In addition to being a good Bole, he also has to make his own efforts. Li Yuanba has no way to hide his future. Yuan Richu is a little short because of his lack of conditions. With the development of technology and the fact that not many people are willing to work hard, it is hard to see the real kung fu movies of hard bridge and hard horse now. I miss the past years!
