In 1976, the famous martial arts novelist Mr. Gu Long participated in the screenwriting of a kung fu film. The movie is called "Fighting Wild Dragons in the Wind and Clouds", and the main actors are not only Shangguan Lingfeng, Yue Hua, Zhang Wulang, but also a Hong Kong young man who has just come to Taiwan to develop. A few months ago, the young man filmed a kung fu film called "Generation Zhongliang" under the stage name "Long Guanting". It is worth mentioning that there is also a kung fu actor in Taiwan called Long Guanwu, and the two seem to have the suspicion of "colliding with names".

I don't know what kind of chemical reaction Gu Long had with Long Guanting, in short, Gu Long "lent" his name to Long Guanting. In the years that followed, Long Guanting's Taiwanese kung fu films were signed "Gu Long".
Ten Thousand Laws returned to the Sect of Shaolin, 1976
In 1978, Long Guanting returned to his hometown of Hong Kong and changed back to his real name "Golden Boy".
Born in Hong Kong on September 11, 1948, Golden Boy joined Master Zhan Yuan's "Hong Kong Chinese Drama Academy" in 1960 to study Peking Opera martial arts. He became one of the "Seven Little Blessings" and his stage name was "Yuan Bin".

Sorry, misplaced photos.
Yes, Yuan Bin, another Hong Kong martial artist we are familiar with, Yuan Bin, is a brother in arms. Because The Golden Boy has not used the name "Yuanbin" since he entered the industry, his identity as a member of the "Seven Little Blessings" is little known.
Golden Boy
？？？
The young golden boy, baby face, thin lips, seems to have a mysterious resemblance to a mainland star.
The Three Men of the Border City, 1966
The One-Armed King, 1969
Golden Boy is one of the early disciples of the drama class who entered the film industry. He has been in "Shaw", "Jiahe" for many years as a supporting role, seeing that there is no hope, decided to try his luck in Taiwan.
I don't know if it was the luck brought to him by Gu Long, when the golden boy returned to Hong Kong after finishing his work in Taiwan, the opportunity to play the male lead came.
Genius Kung Fu
The film is called "Genius Kung Fu" and was shot by the "Xieli" company, which is rich in small-budget follow-up films. With the popularity of Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist" and "Snake-like Executioner", most of the brothers of the "Seven Little Blessings" have been given the opportunity to play the protagonist.
Xiao Hou vs Golden Boy
In this film, the Golden Boy shows a variety of kung fu, which is inseparable from his years of diligent practice. According to his own account, in addition to Peking Opera martial arts, he also studied Hakka Boxing, Northern Shaolin Boxing, Luohan Boxing, Choi Lee Fo, Wing Chun, and Karate.
After that, Golden Boy successively starred in four kung fu films: "Hongsheng Cai Li Fo" (1979), "Liuhe Thousand Hands" (1979), "Dragon Shaped Moqiao" (1980) and "Big Cruel Fist" (1981).
"Hongsheng Cai Li Fo", Fish Head Yun vs Yang Panpan
"Hongsheng Cai Li Fo" is planned by the Hong Kong Choi Lee Fo Association, with Cui Guangyuan, Lee Guanxiong, Zhu Zhaoji and other Tsai Lee Fo boxers as martial arts instructors, which can be said to be a teaching film of Cai Lee Fo Fist. Chen Shaopeng, who has worked with Golden Boy many times, as well as Yang Panpan and Gao Fei, have added a lot to the film. It is worth mentioning that the DVD of this film is accompanied by a video of the Golden Boy showing kung fu and being interviewed, in which the Golden Boy rarely talks about the past of the "Seven Little Blessings".
"Dragon Shaped Moqiao", Huang Zhengli vs Golden Boy
As for "Dragon Shaped Moqiao", produced by Siyuan Pictures, directed and supervised by Hong Kong film tycoon Wu Siyuan, martial arts directors are Yuan Kui, Meng Hai, Xu Shrimp and others, and the lineup in similar kung fu films is strong. In this film, the opponent of the Golden Boy is a big mountain that the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists of that generation could not bypass- Huang Zhengli.
The Maiden Cixi (1983)
The Legend of the White-Haired Witch (1986)
"The Painted Skin of Chatting with Zhiyi" (1988)
After the 1980s, golden boys gradually reduced their performances on the big screen. He joined THE TVB-named "Asia Television" as a martial arts instructor and actor. He has participated in many well-known dramas of ATV, such as "Maiden Cixi" (1983), "Wu Zetian" (1984), "Ping Trace Film" (1985), "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" (1986), "The Painting Skin of Liaozhai Zhiyi" (1988) and so on.
After entering the 1990s, Golden Boy abandoned the film to enter the business and was in a semi-retired state, only making cameo appearances in a few films. As for the 2001 friendship starring in "The Legend of Fei Ge"... Don't mention it (box office 1320 HKD?) ）。
