In hong Kong's film and television jianghu, there is such a martial arts master, his legs are profound, whether it is horizontal kicking, side kicking, front kick, back kick, or hook kick, everything related to the leg method is fascinating! He is known as the "Master of Leg Technique" - Huang Zhengli!
Although the acquaintance is shallow, it seems to be over the years. In this issue, Xiao Xiang takes everyone into the older generation of star Huang Zhengli to understand his legendary story.
Speaking of Huang Zhengli, friends who like old Hong Kong films will not be strangers, because of their leg skills, he and Tan Daoliang, Liu Zhongliang, and Kasa Fa are collectively known as the "Four-legged King", and have dedicated many classic images to everyone.
For example, in the kung fu film "South Fist and North Leg" directed by Wu Siyuan, although he came to Hong Kong for his screen debut, he played the villain leader "Silver Fox" deeply in the hearts of the people, and "Silver Fox" became one of his nicknames.
In "Snake-shaped Executioner", the ultimate boss played by Huang Zhengli, "Shangguan Yiyun", is excellent in martial arts, when he confronted Jackie Chan, the two fought for a long time, and a certain shot, because he could not contain the strength, accidentally kicked off one of Jackie Chan's front teeth. Since then, Huang Zhengli has become the prototype of the "peach white" in the Japanese anime "Dragon Ball".
In Jackie Chan's other masterpiece "Drunken Fist", Huang Zhengli also plays the villain of the explosive force value, and the role of "Yan Tiexin" portrayed is especially good at leg skills, and the amazing leg law viewers are all addicted, so they are also known as "leg law masters"...
In everyone's impression, Huang Zhengli in the film speaks pure Cantonese, which is no different from hong Kong natives. Unexpectedly, he is actually Korean, formerly known as Hwang Tae-so, born in Osaka, Japan in 1944.
When he was a child, Huang Zhengli was a full-fledged martial artist, who had been exposed to martial arts such as karate and judo, and was especially good at taekwondo. Since then, he has come to the development of the Hong Kong film and television circle and studied Chinese kung fu in depth, which can be described as the strength of the Bo family.
If you ask huang Zhengli how strong his kung fu is, Xiao Xiang learned through the information that when he was in his early 20s, he obtained the taekwondo 7-dan certification, becoming a symbol of the master, and the strength was reflected.
During the Vietnam War, Huang Zhengli was opening a museum in South Korea to teach apprentices, because of his kung fu, he was invited to follow South Korea as a "team coach", because of a verbal altercation with a Vietnamese, the man came to challenge with a knife, and he was calm and self-assured, once kicked the challenger to death on the spot, and has since become a big hero in the minds of the Chinese people.
As the smoke of the war gradually dissipated, people living and working in peace and contentment began to pursue spiritual enjoyment, and film and television became indispensable spiritual food.
In 1974, invited by the famous Korean director Lee Doo-yong, Hwang Jeong-ri participated in a kung fu film called "One-Legged Return 2", and has since formed an indissoluble relationship with the film.
In the mid-1970s, under the leadership of major directors such as Zhang Che and Wu Siyuan, Hong Kong set off an unprecedented boom in kung fu films, but because of this, action actors were once in short supply.
At that time, hong Kong, known as the "Hollywood of the East", had a small Korean film market and few powerful directors.
In 1976, the big director Wu Siyuan was preparing to shoot the kung fu film "South Fist and North Leg", although the protagonists had been set as Liu Jialiang and Wang Dao, who had achieved leg skills, but they had been unable to find a suitable candidate to play the villain "Silver Fox".
In order to improve the quality of his works, Wu Siyuan found Huang Zhengli, a kung fu master who was far away in South Korea, with the mentality of trying it out, and he wanted to get his wish.
For Huang Zhengli, the reason for coming to Hong Kong for development is very simple, one is to seek better development, the other is that Huang Renzhi and other Chinese people have successfully tested the waters, and the third is that they can publicize a kung fu.
The success of "South Fist and North Leg" not only laid the foundation for Huang Zhengli's position in Hong Kong kung fu movies, but also made him the best candidate for the big villain, so that it is difficult to transform in the future.
In 1979, in the action film "Buddha Palm Emperor" directed by Dong Jinhu, Huang Zhengli played the villain who was good at Luo Han Boxing, and when he met Meng Hai's "Buddha Palm", the duel between the two was a classic.
The following year, in the "Snake Cat Crane Mixed Fist" starring Jiang Rongfa of the "Mars" of the chengjia class, Huang Zhengli played the villain role as always, leaving aside the simple plot, the kung fu of seven points real and three points virtual is definitely worth watching, and the sense of fist to flesh makes people can't help but miss the glorious era of old Hong Kong films.
After many years in the film and television circle, Huang Zhengli also began to seek transformation and upgrading, so he also worked as a producer, director and actor to vigorously launch the action movie "Killing with a Knife".
In the film, Huang Zhengli took off the cloak of the big villain and played a chivalrous warrior who punished the evil hoe, so the image of the villain created before was too classic, and the audience did not buy it this time, so that the box office was very dismal.
When it comes to the classic role created by Huang Zhengli, it is natural to mention a movie called "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt".
In this work, which is jokingly called "egg pinching god film" by the audience, Huang Zhengli plays the role of the villain "solemn", in addition to the leg skills are still sharp, his unique skill "eagle claw skills" are dazzling, and one move and one style show the style of the master.
Because the performance in the film is too prominent, Huang Zhengli has since added a title of "Eagle Claw King". It can be seen that Huang Zhengli is not only an artist with superb acting skills, but also a martial artist who has studied various kung fu deeply.
In addition to the above classics, Huang Zhengli also had a wonderful performance in Bruce Lee's edited film "Tower of Death";
In "Dragon Ninja", co-starring Mitsuyuki Sanada and Lee Won-ba, the martial arts scenes left behind are also memorable;
In "Rich Train" starring Hong Jinbao, Huang Zhengli played a Japanese who was super kung fu, and he did not lose the wind against the combination of Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao.
In the 1990s, as the kung fu film market became saturated, the Hong Kong film and television industry began to slowly fall off the altar. At this time, Huang Zhengli also realized that he had been adrift for many years, and he had the intention of quitting the jianghu.
In 1990, Huang Zhengli returned to his homeland after a long absence, and while reuniting with his family, he also shifted his focus to business.
At the same time, as a martial artist, he has never forgotten his original intention, decades of practicing as a day, he is getting older and stronger, in 2003, a lifelong obsession with taekwondo, he obtained the black belt nine dan certification, in this field, he is a well-deserved "grandfather".
