When it comes to the Guangdong Wulin in the film and television drama, it is not Huang Feihong.
At the peak of Hong Kong films, Master Huang, who dominated the screen with various wonderful stories, was a Hongquan master in the late Qing Dynasty and early Minchu, not only strong in martial arts, but also a famous doctor who saved lives and helped the injured, and used the standard of action of Ji Shi to win the name of a hero for himself, and also let the production team of film and television dramas love him incomparably.
But before Huang Feihong, there is also a Guangzhou boxer Hong Xiguan, who is also the darling of the ancient martial arts Hong Kong films, he is the founder of Hong Quan, and Huang Feihong is the master of Hong Quan, so he should be Huang Feihong's grandfather.
Like Huang Feihong, Hong Xiguan is not a completely fabricated entertainment character, and his origin has always been a mystery.
According to the records, Hong Xiguan was initially under the tutelage of Cai Jiuyi, a boxer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who had been stationed in Liaodong with Hong Chengzu's troops, and after the defeat of the main general and surrendered to the Qing, Cai Jiuyi left angrily and went to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan to learn martial arts.
Then return to Zhaoqing with Shaolin martial arts to begin collecting disciples and teaching Shaolin martial arts. And Hong Xiguan is talented and intelligent, and he has been educated by famous teachers, and his martial arts have always been top-notch among the brothers of the division, and he ranks first in the Shaolin Ten Tigers ranking, even better than Fang Shiyu.
However, he was very aggressive by nature, and it is recorded in the "Xiaolan Zhenzhi" that after Hong Xiguan returned to Guangdong after completing his studies, he finally sneaked into Xiaolan because he violated the imperial court decrees.
But because of this unyielding personality, it provides enough material for film and television dramas, so there are many film companies at the beginning, with him as the protagonist, shooting a lot of popular film and television dramas.
Shaw's "Hong Xi Guan" in 1977 opened up the situation for the Guangzhou boxers.
The production lineup of the film is very strong, liu Jialiang is not only the director, but also the martial arts director of the TV series. The screenwriter also invited Ni Kuang, the "four talents" of Hong Kong at that time, to serve as the author, whether it was the production or the story plot, it was second to none at the time.
Although the current audience is not impressed by the main actors Chen Guantai, Wang Yu, Li Lili, and others. However, in this drama, there was an actor that many people did not expect, that is, Wang Jie, a tragic singer who later dominated the Chinese orchestra.
Before showing his musical talents, he is a child movie star trained by Shaw, playing Hong Wending, the son of Hong Xiguan, in the play, it must be said that Shao is partial to him, and the plot gives a lot.
It is said that In order to avenge his father, Hong Wending practiced tiger-shaped fist hard, and then kneaded the crane-shaped fist taught by Wing Chun, and created the story of the tiger crane double-shaped fist, breaking the iron cloth shirt of the golden bell with white eyebrows, avenging his father, and the ending was quite happy, which was also Wang Jie's second play in Shaw's family.
Since then, the Hong Kong market has also made many martial arts movies about Guangzhou Hong Quan, but the results are not satisfactory.
Until 1994, three film and television dramas with Hong Xiguan as the protagonist suddenly poured out, which suddenly opened the hegemony of Guangzhou boxers, including the movie "New Youth Five Ancestors" starring Jet Li.
The Hong Xiguan in the movie is played by Jet Li, to tell the truth, the plot of this movie is much richer, telling the story of Hong Xiguan, as a disciple of a young layman, who fought against the corrupt officials of the imperial court at that time, but was betrayed by the same door Ma Ning'er.
This film can be said to bring together the production power of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also invited old drama bones such as Liu Songren and Ye Dexian, as well as Jet Li, who was half the sky at that time, as the main actors.
The film was nominated for the Hong Kong Golden Statue Martial Arts Instructor for its outstanding martial arts design. In addition to Jet Li, who is hardcore in kung fu himself, he also let us see another child star with great future, Semyon.
It is said that at that time, director Wang Jing, in order to find a small actor who could play Hong Wending, searched all the children in the martial arts team and were not satisfied.
After seeing Xie Miao finish a set of long punches, he directly hit him, completely ignoring Xie Miao's wrong moves because of his young age, and opened his artistic career, I have to say that Wang Jing still has vision when he sees people!
In 1994, there was also a TV series "Hong Xiguan", which was also very successful, playing Hong Xiguan was Zhen Zidan, I have to say that the casting was particularly hardcore that year, and the kung fu of each actor was very good.
This TV series has a total of 30 episodes, which was broadcast on the Hong Kong ATV at that time, and its influence was extremely great, even if there are still many bloggers who take out the clips of this TV series and edit it, which can be said to be a classic in the classic.
The story structure of the TV series is based on the plot of "Burning Southern Shaolin", the TV series at the beginning of the shape of the Manchu-Han dispute, with the anti-Qing and Restoration of the Ming Dynasty as the main story route, and especially mentions the factional struggle between Shaolin and Wudang, especially the familiar Baimei Daoist reappears, and meets the impulsive Hong Xiguan at that time, which looks particularly enjoyable.
It must be said that the screenwriter of this drama also has the potential of dog blood, and in the plot, an anti-Qing restoration organization "Sun Moon Society" is set up, and the heroine is designated as the daughter of the second boss, Yan Wing Chun, who is said to be the grandfather of Wing Chun, and in the TV series, she has become the wife of Hong Xiguan, accompanied by him through many storms.
In fact, in the real situation, Hong Xiguan's wife is called Fang Wing Chun, and yan Wing Chun is not the same person.
The TV series also emphasizes the three lay disciples of Southern Shaolin, Fang Shiyu is listed among them, and you can also see different versions of Lei Tiger and Miao Cuihua, which is quite intriguing, it is a classic old drama that can be reviewed during the drama famine, and there is definitely the "inner taste" of the old-fashioned ATV station!
