Some people have grievances, and if there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes.
"Smiling Proud of the River"
A good play requires not only the protagonist to perform well, but also his opponents to be strong enough, especially in action movies.
Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan and other kung fu superstars, their movies are good, in addition to playing well, their opponents are also playing well.
In the past few decades, the Chinese film industry has emerged jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan and other kung fu superstars, and behind them there are also many excellent villains, such as Yuan Hua, Ren Shiguan, Qian Xiaohao, Zou Zhaolong, Xu Zhongxin, Yuan Xinyi, Ji Chunhua, Zhou Billy, Lu Huiguang, Di Wei, Xiong Xinxin, etc.; there are many unknown martial arts elites.
Among these famous villains, Ren Shiguan should be the most senior.
[Ren Shiguan] Born in 1947 into a martial arts family, his father Ren Yutian was the earliest generation of martial arts instructors, who brought him into the industry in the Era of Shaw Films.
However, although Ren Shiguan had a family heir of kung fu and industry leaders, he was only an ordinary martial artist and did not quickly become famous.
In the 1990s, the most brilliant period of Hong Kong martial arts films, Ren Shiguan established the status of a senior villain of martial arts films with several excellent martial arts films.
He is Yan Zhendong in "Huang Feihong",
Feng Xifan of the Divine Dragon Sect,
"Laughing At The Lake 2"
The Yankong monk of the Iron Horse, and so on.
In fact, there are also the Qing court unified belt in "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" when Jackie Chan just became famous, as well as many kung fu films in Jiahe's early days, and many times cooperated with Hong Jinbao.
In these movies, Ren Shiguan played superstars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Zhen Zidan and Yu Rongguang, and the number one villain of martial arts films, none other than him!
In 1979, "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" Qing Court unified Ren Tianhua
In 1978, after Jackie Chan became popular with "Drunken Fist" and "Snake-like Executioner", he was immediately signed by Jiahe. Former boss Luo Wei desperately wants to squeeze out the surplus value before he leaves.
"Laughing Fist Strange Moves" is Jackie Chan's first self-directed and self-acting, but it is still the routine of old-school kung fu films, which is the story of practicing martial arts to avenge his predecessors.
Ah Long, played by Jackie Chan, is the grandson of the head of the Zhiyi Gate; after his grandfather was killed by Ren Tianhua, the Qing court led by Ren Shiguan, he went to another famous teacher, and after completing his studies, he avenged his grandfather.
The villain played by Ren Shiguan, with white hair, black clothes and red capes, is quite domineering and exemplary, and his martial arts are fierce and fierce; Jackie Chan can win him, all by virtue of his super physical strength and the protagonist's aura.
After that, a sequel was made, "Dragon Tenghu Leap" was only released in 1983; it is still a similar story of Xi Wu's revenge, and Ren Shiguan plays the villain Tiandi Shuangxuan.
In 1991, "Huang Feihong's Ambition" iron cloth shirt Yan Zhendong
Because of the director of Xu Ke, the role of Yan Zhendong, played by Ren Shiguan, has been shaped more plumply and thoughtfully.
He was not simply a villain master, he had the opportunity to become a generation of masters; he had a good martial art, but he could not gain a foothold in Foshan, and he had no choice but to be a master for the ground snake like the Shahe Gang; he was bent on defeating Huang Feihong and making a name for himself, and finally found that no matter how good the martial arts were, he could not rival the foreign guns and cannons of foreigners.
In the movie, Yan Zhendong defeated the Yue family knife, which has proved his strength.
When challenging Bao Zhilin, Huang Feihong did not want to drag him down, and he gave in everywhere and lost. Finally, in the dock battle, Huang Feihong went all out, and Yan Zhendong could not win the plot.
Interestingly, when filming "Huang Feihong's Heroic Ambition", Jet Li injured his leg, and the final battle was filmed by Xiong Xinxin.
Therefore, only the first time they fought, Ren Shiguan won Jet Li.
In 1992, "Deer Ding Ji II. Divine Dragon Sect" was a sword and bloodless Feng Xifan
This version of Feng Xifan is definitely a fierce character, the city government is deep, the martial arts are high, and he is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, if it is not the protagonist aura, Wei Xiaobao, played by Zhou Xingchi, really can't get him.
At first, he was the master of Wu Yingxiong (who synthesized The identity of Zheng Keshuang), the high counselor of Wu Sangui, or the brother of Chen Jinnan; when he turned around, he exchanged Chen Jinnan for a second-grade top and became the new red man around Kangxi.
Martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong designed a set of magical martial arts for him, which could control the six Liuhe boys with silk threads, and had an advantage over Chen Jinnan and the Divine Dragon Sect Master. In the end, he competed for internal strength and lost to Wei Xiaobao because he got Long Er's eight successful powers, as well as Chen Jinnan's full strength.
In 1992, "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu II. Undefeated in the East" was my way
As soon as Ren Yixing came up, he came out of the Star Absorbing Dafa and sucked people dry; when he returned to the Sun Moon God Sect, he began a great purge, and even the most loyal Xiang Qingtian trembled in front of him, how to look like a martial arts upright person, the Demon Sect was full of attributes.
Dongfang Undefeated should be the biggest villain of this film, Ren Yixing is in the same camp as Ling Huchong; but in the end, it is found that Dongfang Undefeated is the real protagonist, and Ren Ixing has become the new Dongfang Undefeated after the death of Dongfang Undefeated.
The most classic line came from his mouth: People are rivers and lakes, how do you quit?
1993 "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Horse" Shaolin traitor Yankong monk
This is definitely the most successful and classic villain role of Ren Shiguan, so domineering that it takes Zhen Zidan and Yu Rongguang, the two masters, to join forces, and also to go to the dangerous situation of the fire plum blossom pile to win.
Although the Hong Kong box office of "Young Wong Fei Hung's Iron Horse" was not good at the Hong Kong box office that year, it was later released in the United States with unprecedented success, which proved the quality of the film and also proved the success of actors such as Zhen Zidan, Yu Rongguang and Ren Shiguan.
The Yankong monk played by Ren Shiguan was very stunning: before the person arrived, a dashing air moved, taking off the official hat and official uniform neatly folded on the hands of his subordinates, and the person landed steadily on the official seat of the Court.
The first shot even injured the two masters of Iron Monkey and Huang Qiying, and under the power of his powerful King Kong, Foshan's shadowless feet could not help him.
In the Great Armageddon, the two masters of Iron Monkey and Huang Qiying, could not be defeated by attacking up and down, and they were so powerful that people were desperate. In the end, it was the Iron Monkey who ventured to pretend to attack, forced him to make a move, and then Huang Qiying took the opportunity to kick him into the sea of fire before wading through the danger.
1993 "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of the Five Rats in Tokyo" Pang Taishi
This is a joint production of Fujian Film Studio and Taiwan Province Luk Fook Pictures, directed by Chen Muchuan, starring Lin Wei, Li Zhixi, Fang Zhongxin, Zheng Haonan, Yang Lijing, etc., is a relatively unpopular martial arts film.
Although it is a cooperation between the mainland and Taiwan Provincial companies, the director and many main creators are from Hong Kong, and the style is still the mainstream Hong Kong film style of that year, which is very crazy.
Pang Taishi, played by Ren Shiguan, is not only a big villain, but also an ambitious big villain, but also a big villain with super martial arts. The martial arts are so powerful that they have to trap the five rats of the empty island and the royal cat Zhan Zhao to join forces, and they also have to use various means to barely win the big villain. Judging from the cast list, Ren Shiguan is indeed a character that the other party can't beat together.
If this "Five Rats in Tokyo" is replaced by a mainstream Hong Kong martial arts film team to shoot, it is definitely another classic.
In 1993, "New Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles" Flying Eagle Fort Lord Yue XiHong
This film was co-produced by Guangxi Film Studio and Hong Kong Zhang You Production Company, and it is also a partially unpopular martial arts film, because there were too many Hong Kong martial arts films that year, and among the main creators of this film, there is no real male protagonist who can play.
The heroine is also Yang Lijing, who plays the Sunflower Saint Daughter; Zhong Fa of HongJiaban plays the Elder Demon of the Star Sect Leader, who is destroyed by the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles sent by yue xihong, the lord of the Flying Eagle Fort. In the end, Sunflower And Silver Eagle team up to take revenge on the real villain, Etsushi Hong.
Yue Xihong, the lord of the Flying Eagle Fort played by Ren Shiguan, is still super strong in martial arts, scheming, and sinister and vicious, which is the standard template in the martial arts villains.
1993 "Three Heroes of the East" Chen Gonggong
This is a modern fantasy martial arts film directed by Du Qifeng and starring Mei Yanfang, Yang Ziqiong and Maggie Cheung, three modern heroines, who meet the former Qing eunuch Chen Gonggong, played by Ren Shiguan.
This is an evil and terrifying villain, ordinary martial arts and weapons are useless to him, and finally use explosives to destroy him; and his most evil thing is to capture children everywhere, hide under the dungeon and train as killers, with the intention of restoration.
The white shape of Ren Shiguan in the film is definitely the childhood shadow of many people.
Because of his outstanding performance, in 1992, in "The Legend of the Hero Who Truant School", the villain played by Ren Shiguan was still practicing iron cloth; in "Huang Feihong's Second Boy When Self-Strengthening", he also had him, playing Zhen Zidan's superior, the Governor of Guangdong; in "New Dragon Gate Inn", he played a righteous soldier Who sold his life for money.
Unfortunately, after the glory of the early 90s, Hong Kong movies began to decline, and Ren Shiguan soon fell silent, a generation of classic martial arts villains, no longer have the charm of the past.
