This event was very grand. Sammo Hung sat in the C seat as the senior brother. Yuen Biao, Yuen Hua and others were in the photo. Jackie Chan hugged his "charter wife" Yuen Qiu, and everyone laughed heartily.
Jackie Chan remembered his departed classmates in the text and wrote the name of Yuan Kui, a member of "Seven Little Blessings". Only then did the outside world know that Yuan Kui had passed away quietly.
After the news was exposed, it attracted the attention of netizens. Hong Kong Film Workers Federation spokesman Tian Qiwen (Frog) accepted an interview with the media and confirmed the death of Yuan Kui.
Tian Qiwen said that Yuan Kui immigrated to Canada in his early years. About two years ago, Yuan Kui died of COVID-19. His family wanted to keep a low profile, so no one in the circle made the news public.
Yuen Kui, whose real name is Yin Yuan Kui, was born in 1950. He is a Hong Kong actor, director, martial arts instructor and producer. He is also a member of the "Seven Little Fortunes" together with Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah and others.
Yuan Kui and Jet Li have a very good relationship. The two have collaborated on films such as the "Fang Shiyu" series, "Father and Son" and "The Savior".
Yuan Kui has collaborated with Stephen Chow in "Fist of Fury" and "The Gambler". Yuan Kui is an excellent director.
In addition to behind-the-scenes work, Yuen Kui also has many front-screen performances, including "The Fish Seller" in the "The Gambler" series.
In "Fang Shiyu's Continuation", he played Li Guobang, the senior brother of Miao Cuihua (Fang Shiyu's mother). The mantra of this character is "safety first", which is very familiar to movie fans.
Yuan Kui was born as a dragon and tiger martial artist. He is almost an all-rounder in the industry. He can be a martial arts instructor, a film director, and has the ability to be a screenwriter and behind-the-scenes editor.
After Sammo Hung became famous, he established the "Hong Family Class", and Yuan Kui became one of them. He mainly served as a martial arts instructor, and occasionally engaged in screenwriting and editing. He was Sammo Hung's key disciple.
Yuan Kui once followed Jet Li to Hollywood and participated in the action design of many Hollywood blockbusters.
The two have collaborated in Hollywood movies including "Lethal Weapon 4", "Romeo Deadly", "Kiss of the Dragon" and so on.
Yuen Kui once served as a martial arts instructor for the superhero movie "X-Men". Kwan Ji-wei, who won the "Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards" last year, also worked with Yuan Kui as a martial artist under Yuan Kui.
This time, Jackie Chan disclosed the news of Yuan Kui's death, and it is estimated that he has obtained the consent of Yuan Kui's family.
Calculating the time, Yuan Kui was 72 years old when he left. The death of such an outstanding filmmaker is definitely a loss to the film industry.
