In the 1972 film Jingwumen, the eighteen-year-old Jackie Chan, who was a martial artist, was kicked by Bruce Lee.

This year, seventeen-year-old Zhou Runfa was still doing various handymen.

Zhou Xingchi was just ten years old.

A year later.

Bruce Lee died suddenly.

A generation of legends has come to an end.

But the kung fu films that have officially emerged as a result must of course continue.

A variety of imitators have risen, including the young Jackie Chan, but all of them are feathered.

This year, Zhou Runfa was admitted to the wireless artist training class, and Jackie Chan has begun to officially participate in movies, and also has martial arts and action instruction.

In 1976, Shaw of Hong Kong shot a film based on "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword" and "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife".

When Gu Long's works began to flourish, his film era was also opened.

He went from novelist to screenwriter, and came to the door to ask for script writers such as carp across the river.

Zhou Runfa fell in love with Miao Qianren this year.

Later, Jackie Chan visited the door under the leadership of Luo Wei, and after drinking until he vomited, he was rejected by Gu Long for not being handsome enough and refused to write the script.

In Jackie Chan's original words, it is "hiding in the toilet while vomiting and crying, and when it is over, you have to go back to continue drinking with you."

Extrapolating from the timeline, this year should be 1978.

In this year, Jackie Chan, who filmed "Snake-shaped Executioner" and "Drunken Fist", is about to get rid of the influence of Bruce Lee and grow into a new generation of kung fu superstars.

Zhou Xingchi, who was seriously partial to the subject, almost graduated from middle school at this time.

In 1980.

Jackie Chan's self-written and self-directed film "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" won the annual crown again with a figure of 10.2 million, and broke the previous box office record, officially pushing the Hong Kong film box office past the 10 million Hong Kong dollar mark, and its humorous action route was officially formed.

Comedy itself is a very strong genre in the Hong Kong film industry, and combined with Jackie Chan's iconic kung fu characteristics, this choice allowed Jackie Chan to create his own film genre country, and in the years to come, it is almost invincible.

This year, the TV series "Shanghai Beach" starring Chow Yun-fat premiered on TVB in Hong Kong.

Stephen Chow became a special actor at Li's TV station.

The next four years were the domain of the Xu brothers.

They won the Hong Kong Film of the Year title for four consecutive years.

During this period, Jackie Chan continued to polish his style more molded, and also launched a word-of-mouth masterpiece such as "A Plan".

Chow Yun-fat shuttled through various genre films and made his debut, but he did not yet have box office dominance.

In 1982, Zhou Xingchi, who was not admitted to the wireless artist training class, had to go to the wireless night training class.

After graduating the following year, he began to work as the host of the children's program "430 Shuttle".

In 1985, when Jackie Chan won the third annual championship of his career.

Since the beginning of this year, Chow Yun Fat has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor for six consecutive years, and three of them have won awards, including three films in 1988, which is the same as the limelight.

But in 1986, Zhou Runfa, who made Cheng Xiaodong's science fiction film "Strange Origins", was still called "box office poison".

And in the same year, "The True Colors of Heroes" was released, and Zhou Runfa swept away the haze.

He also won the first annual championship of the film emperor and his personal career with the third place male lead ranking, breaking the record for the first time.

There is nothing more wonderful in life than this.

Wu Yusen and gangster hero films are like Zhou Runfa's fate.

Since then, the king of kung fu and the gangster hero have officially begun to fight for supremacy on Monday.

Before 1990, being on the top ten box office in Hong Kong was as easy for them as drinking water.

In these five years, they are almost either the annual crown or the year.

Of course, the up-and-coming Zhou Runfa had a slightly stronger momentum at this time, winning the annual crown three times in five years, which was also like a balance in the underworld, because Jackie Chan had already reached the top twice before.

Stephen Chow is gearing up.

1990 finally arrived.

Stephen Chow debuted with "Gambler", which grossed 41.32 million, winning the first annual championship and breaking the Hong Kong film record.

Then he dominated the Hong Kong film scene for four consecutive years, during which time he broke records four times in a row.

Its annual crown, record-breaking and top ten figures are enough to dazzle people.

The data of these four years is really unprecedented, and it is worth reviewing again and again.

In 1990, the annual crown broke the record, and the three box office top ten. In 1991, the annual crown broke the record, and the six box office top ten. In 1992, the annual crown broke two records, and the top five of the top ten box offices were all Stephen Chow. 1993 annual crown, the first twelve. Top ten of the three parts in 1994. Top ten of the four parts in 1995. In 1996, the top ten of the two films. In 1997, the top ten of the two films. In 1998, a top ten. 99 years of annual crown.

In this decade, Zhou Xingchi alone dominated the list for five years, and the other five years were divided between Jackie Chan and Zhou Runfa.

This is also another sense of "the back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave".

If it starts from 1979, when Jackie Chan won the first annual championship.

The bi-weekly era spans twenty years.

In the meantime, the Xu brothers' chaotic intrusion was removed, and the three annual crowns of Zhou Xingchi after the 2000s were not counted.

Although the three had gradients and generational differences, they also ruled the Hong Kong film industry for sixteen years.

Record-breaking, record-breaking and almost monopoly annual crown (Aaron Kwok and Zheng Yijian reached the top together in 1998).

Whether it is in the box office, awards or contribution to genre films, it is unique.

It was so hard that the other actors could not look up.

Under their Iron Curtain, the so-called "bi-Weekly one Lee", "five superstars" or "ten superstars" are actually impossible to establish.

This is the crushing of pure strength.
