" Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " was released, it received a score of 7.5 due to its hard-core quality.
Hong Kong movie lovers, on the one hand, lamented that Hong Kong action movies are back.
On the other hand, the older generation of superstars such as Sammo Hung, Louis Koo, Simon Yam and Aaron Kwok have become famous for supporting newcomers.
Among them, the most powerful villain "Mad Gong" Wang Jiu took the lead, and took the lead with his crazy laughter and real kung fu .
His actor, Ng Yun-lung, the "brother" in "Brothers and Brothers", who was once the least popular Hong Kong action movie, is about to bid farewell to his "brother" On Chi-kit and take the lead in driving a Land Rover.
Wu Yunlong was born in a martial arts family. His father worked as a Kung Fu instructor for the police in Chicago, USA. He started practicing martial arts with his father at the age of 7. He is the sixth generation successor of Cai Lifuquan.
was born in Hong Kong and grew up in the United States. As a child, he had no sense of cultural belonging.
Later, he started learning Wing Chun with his uncle, and he realized that "martial arts is the best bridge to culture."
Later, his uncle recommended him to go to Hong Kong and become a disciple of Ip Man's disciple Huang Chunliang. In this way, Wu Yunlong can be regarded as the direct disciple of Ip Man.
He is very talented in martial arts, and he taught traditional kung fu in his father's martial arts school when he was a teenager.
He has dabbled in many schools of Kung Fu. In addition to Chinese Kung Fu such as Cai Li Fuquan, Wing Chun and Hong Quan, he modestly said that he has "a little understanding" of foreign Kung Fu such as Taekwondo, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai.
Unlike traditional Hong Kong kung fu actors with low academic qualifications, Ng Yun-lung is simply better than a top student.
His university major was art design. After receiving his master's degree, he taught design on the podium at the University of Illinois for one year.
However, as his practice of traditional martial arts deepened, the American environment did not allow him to go further.
So, in early 2000, he stepped out of his comfort zone, abandoned his identity as a university teacher, decided to return to his ancestors and return to Hong Kong for development.
2001, Wu Yunlong officially entered the industry after playing a small role in the movie "Eye of the Beast". Unfortunately, he had no room to display his good kung fu.
At almost the same time, On Chi-kit, who had returned from the United States, was cast in Tsui Hark's "Dark Man 2". It can be said that he was at the peak of his debut. In his first film, he succeeded the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li as the male lead.
days of great luck fell on this young man, and he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing.
The reputation and box office of "The Dark Knight 2" were poor. Due to the involvement of the movie, On Zhijie rarely had the opportunity to be a male lead again for many years.
However, compared to On Zhijie, Wu Yunlong's career as a martial arts actor was even more difficult. In the years when
first debuted, even though he participated in all major productions, such as "千亿手机成", "Police Story", "Raptors" and other movies.
But where is he? Don't expect it on the
poster and the starring list. If you look for it in the long list of actors after the movie, you can probably see his name.
Two young people from the same ABC background, Ng Yun-lung and On Chi-kit, have become the "suffering brothers" of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies.
Once, when two brothers were frustrated in life, they were drinking in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. After On Zhijie got drunk, he wanted to fight with more than a dozen people. However, Ng Yun-lung was very restrained and controlled the brothers alone first, and then made peace with others to avoid this possible situation. The vicious fight was eliminated invisible.
In 2007, the noble person in Wu Yunlong's life appeared.
When filming the TV series "Wing Chun", the lead actor Nicholas Tse accidentally discovered the young actor Wu Yunlong in the crew. He discovered that this man was not only good at Wing Chun, but the key was that he was meticulous in teaching, like spring breeze and rain.
All this is due to Wu Yunlong's many years of experience in martial arts training and teaching in universities.
Although Wu Yunlong was not well-known at that time, he still attracted Nicholas Tse to take the initiative to join him. He mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally in public places and interviews, "This is my Wing Chun teacher, he is good."
It is said that Nicholas Tse recommended Wu Yunlong to director Wang Jing, so that his master also has some resources in the circle. In movies such as " Wealth Inn ", "Baccarat", " Macau Storm " and other movies, he gradually has Opportunity to make a mark.
Especially in 2014, Wang Jing served as a producer and was very popular before filming the movie " vs. ". He claimed to create "f4 in the martial arts world".
He invited the eighth master Yuan Heping to be the martial arts instructor, Huang Jingfu to be the director (the director of " Weekly Remove Three Evils"), and also invited Sammo Hung and On Zhijie to be green leaves in the film, in order to promote Wu Yunlong as the male lead.
An accident occurred while filming this movie. Wu Yunlong accidentally slipped and was kicked by his good brother An Zhijie and broke his ribs.
After simple treatment of the wound in the hospital, he relied on painkillers and strong will to continue filming after returning, just because of this hard-won opportunity.
When the movie "Battle" premiered in Hong Kong, his apprentice Nicholas Tse and his whole family came to support and build momentum, which was a great honor.
Helpless, this new Ma Yongzhen in Shanghai has not been recognized by movie fans and the market.
Director Wang Jing’s plan to create “F4 in the martial arts world” came to nothing.
However, the film company, which is very loyal, did not believe in evil and actually invited all the "f4s in the martial arts world" that Wang Jing might have casually praised, namely Nicholas Tse, Wu Jianhao, On Zhijie and Wu Yunlong.
Speaking of which, there is quite a connection between these four people.
is centered on Nicholas Tse. He first met Wu Jianhao. Wu Yunlong was his Wing Chun teacher. On Zhijie fell in love with his sister Xie Tingting and almost became his brother-in-law.
Except for Nicholas Tse, the other three are from ABC backgrounds. Each of the four brothers has his or her own merits, but when put together, it’s hard to describe them in one sentence.
The movie they collaborated on was released in 2019, the disaster-level bad movie " Stalker ".
Netizens joked that "They are serious about making bad movies just to tell us that action movie actors are too poor to hire good screenwriters."
However, with his handsome appearance and strong skills, Wu Yunlong gradually gained a place in the Hong Kong film industry.
In " Chasing the Dragon " released in 2017, Donnie Yen and Wu Yunlong had a very exciting fighting scene.
He played the role of Fatty's super-acceptable top-horse thug. He didn't have a single line and only relied on his excellent Muay Thai skills to fight back and forth with Universe Dan, which impressed the movie fans.
did not do well in the film industry, and in the sluggish environment of action movies, Wu Yunlong had no choice but to switch to the television industry.
plays a heavy starring role in TVB's martial arts films such as "Fortress Heroes", " Brothers ", "Tekken Heroes" , etc. Although he is not the male lead, his real kung fu can be put to use.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, self-disciplined and persistent Ng Yun-lung waited until the movie "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City".
He calls himself "Because he plays a villain, there are no restrictions" , "It's fun and he performs his true nature". It is with this relaxed mentality that he created the most powerful villain in Hong Kong films in recent years, "The Mad Man" Wang Jiu.
As the number one villain in the movie, Wang Jiu, he possesses invincible hard qigong skills. He holds an AK and shoots at the protagonist group passionately. The madness in the picture is overwhelming.
During the last 30 minutes of the movie, many fans were worried about the director and the protagonists. They were worried about how the director would set up the plot to kill him, and how the protagonists would not be killed by him.
It is precisely because of the personality, madness, and fierce villain that the movie feels so exciting. This is a cool and good movie that fans who like Hong Kong action movies should not miss.
Ng Yun-lung's character plays the word "madness" in the old Hong Kong movie "Crazy". Borrowing what fans said about Xie Miao, it is also applicable to him, "Ng Yun-lung is not popular, and God cannot tolerate it."
Some people were born in Rome, and some people took twenty years to get to Rome.
Wu Yunlong, who is good at martial arts, went from being a bit actor to being an outsider. This journey was particularly difficult.
Hong Kong movies have always had examples of villains becoming popular, such as Chang Wei who "doesn't know kung fu" and Yu Rongguang who says "what will you do with 300 yuan?"
and Wu Jing, who has made a name for himself with his image as a cold killer, and Zhang Jin, who won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Ma San.
When Ng Yun-lung meets Wang Jiu, can the former "brothers in need" of Hong Kong action movies be the first to drive a Land Rover? (Written by Mu Weizhou)
