There are many female stars in the Hong Kong film industry, such as Yang Ziqiong, who is famous overseas, Zheng Peipei, the "Golden Swallow" who became famous earlier, the foreign "Toyo Sanshu" (Oshima Yugali, Nishisai Michiko and Takagi Fujimi), and The Highest Force Value Lovelo.
The first Academy Awards actress Hui Yinghong, the overlord Flower Hu Huizhong, the female version of Bruce Lee's mao Ying, the "charter wife" Yuan Qiu, the action angel Li Saifeng, the "royal master sister" Yang Lijing, the classic "Mu Nianci" Yang Panpan, the most beautiful "nobleman" Liang Zhen and Hong Jinbao's wife Gao Lihong.
Many female hit stars, some of them have learned martial arts since childhood, some have studied Peking Opera, and some have driven ducks to the shelves, relying on a desperate momentum.
There are also those who learn from their teachers and transform into stars, but do you know who their masters are?
01. Hui Yinghong's master: Liu Jialiang
After playing the film queen among the women, the most acting actress, with several film queen trophies on her head, if Maggie Cheung does not go out of the mountain, maybe the record of the Academy Awards will be broken by Hui Yinghong in the future.
Hui Yinghong's starting point is not low, she was first accepted by Zhang Che as a dry child, and then entered liu jia's class, followed Liu Jialiang to learn kung fu, and starred in a series of action movies.
Liu Jialiang is not small, is the great-grandson of Huang Feihong, a generation of Hong Quan masters, and the first person in the Hong Kong film industry to be turned from martial arts instructor to director, influencing the later Hong Jinbao, Yuan Heping.
As martial arts instructors, he and Tang Jia are the best partners, and are the left and right arms of the martial arts master Zhang Che, creating classic works such as "One-Armed Knife", "New One-Armed Knife", "Ma Yongzhen", "Thorn Horse" and so on.
As a director, he has praised Liu Jiahui, Wang Yu, Xiao Hou and other martial arts students, and created works such as "Shen Da", "Shaolin Thirty-Six Rooms", "Eighteen Martial Arts", etc., which are all textbook kung fu films.
In the mid-1980s, he was sent to the mainland by Run Run Shaw to cooperate with Jet Li in "North and South Shaolin", although the influence was not as good as "Shaolin Temple", but it also entered the top ten of the annual box office list.
In the late 1980s, the action movie market was occupied by Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan, and as a representative of the veteran kung fu films, he also kept pace with the times and filmed the fashion action films "Tiger Out of the Change" and "New Best Partner" for New Art City.
Although he took this step, he also insisted on it, such as disagreeing with the flying fights in Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong" and the concept of Jackie Chan in "Drunken Fist 2".
Liu Jialiang, as the authentic descendant of Huang Feihong, insists on the real kung fu of the hard bridge and the hard horse, and this is what we lack in our current movies, and this kind of kung fu film has long gone.
02, Yang Ziqiong's master: Di Wei
Yang Ziqiong learned to dance before entering the industry, and her first film, "Owl and Dumbo", simply played a "vase".
On the words of appearance, Yang Ziqiong is not amazing, and if she wants to become famous, she must find another way, so she aimed at the route of playing women, and with the help of her boyfriend Pan Disheng, she became famous with the "Royal Master Sister".
Later, he cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Police Story 3", partnered with Jet Li to star in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and participated in Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which established the status of the first dozen women in the Hong Kong film industry in one fell swoop, and is now popular in Hollywood.
Yang Ziqiong's fist and foot master at that time was Di Wei, a name that may sound a little strange, but his actual combat ability is extremely strong.
Di Wei, formerly known as Tu Jilong, was the head coach of the army before entering the industry, and was particularly good at taekwondo, and also won the championship of the fighting competition.
After retiring from the army, he joined Shaw under the introduction of Zhang Che, and changed his name to Slay the Dragon, and participated in films such as "Five Poisons", "Crippled", "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles" and so on.
Tu Jilong changed to slaying dragons, domineering and appropriate, but there was a person who was not happy, he was Dillon, thinking that you are not slaughtering me, so he suggested that he change to Di Wei.
Some people can change their names to "change their lives against the sky", such as Ouyang Zhenhua, Wu Zhenyu, etc., but Di Wei seems to be unable to do it, from Shao To Hongjiaban, he plays the most thugs, and his fame is not as good as Zhou Billy, Zou Zhaolong and so on.
In Hong Jiaban, his skills are among the best, often against Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, such as "Bo Niu", "Summer Lucky Star", etc., especially the Luo San Cannon in "Plan A", the iron triangle takes turns to fight, and it does not take much advantage.
It is worth mentioning that he also competed with Jet Li in "The Dragon in the End of the World", and he is also the action design of this film.
He has always had no future as a thug, and in the 90s he also considered being a director, directing "Into Hell" and "Life and Death", but unfortunately the response was mediocre.
After the loneliness of Hong Kong films, he once stopped filming for many years, and in the past few years, he had come back to make several low-budget films, and cooperated with Chen Guantai in "Chicken Flying Dog Jump" and "New Ghosts Fighting Ghosts", but he was helpless not to be known.
03. Li Saifeng's master: Xu Xiaoming
Li Saifeng, sweet and lovely looking, clean and neat action, is known as "the angel in action movies".
She originally took the jade girl route, and she is also one of the atvestors, obviously she can eat by appearance, but she chose a difficult route and transformed into a beating woman.
She was the head of ATV Hua Dan, and Xu Xiaoming was the director of ATV at that time, so it was natural to be her master.
Xu Xiaoming was born in a Cantonese opera family, learned opera and Chinese martial arts from an early age, and debuted as a child star.
But when the actor is not his choice, his directing talent has long been highlighted, directing the local drama "Grace of the Earth" and the "Jingwu Trilogy", "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", "Huo Dongge", which are still regarded as classics.
In particular, "Huo Yuanjia", as the first Hong Kong drama introduced to the mainland, was popular all over the country, and the boys imitated the fighting action of Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen, and the girls kept the same hairstyle as Sakura.
In the mid-to-late 1980s, he followed the trend of co-productions and directed "Kapok Robes" and "Mirage", which became popular with Yu Rongguang.
Not only that, Xu Xiaoming is also fruitful in the field of singing, and has twice been listed as one of the top ten singers in Hong Kong, which can be called an "all-round filmmaker".
04. Gao Lihong's master: Hong Jinbao
Among the many female stars in Hong Kong, Gao Lihong is the only Miss Hong Kong champion, not only has a high appearance, but also can play very well.
When she first entered the industry, Gao Lihong also wanted to take the beauty route, but the competition was too big, coupled with the prevalence of action movies at that time, so she begged "big brother in the film industry" Hong Jinbao to accept her as an apprentice.
In the past, the Hong family's class was full of rough men, and suddenly there was a young and beautiful Miss Hong Kong, and Hong Jinbao naturally had no reason to refuse.
Not only teaching kung fu, but also using the best resources to support her, such as Hong Jinbao's ambition work "Oriental Vulture", the heroine is Gao Lihong, she became famous in one battle, and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, this treatment is asked who is not envious.
In the years of studying kung fu, the movies starring Gao Lihong have a great relationship with Hong Jinbao, such as "Ghost Kicking", "Royal Female General", "Dragon and Phoenix Thief Catching Thieves" and so on.
After coming and going, Gao Lihong developed a crush on Hong Jinbao, who also liked the beautiful Hong Kong sister, and the two married in 1991.
After marriage, Gao Lihong chose to be a good woman behind the big brother, and did not even have children.
The last time Gao Lihong appeared on the screen was in "A Good Man" directed by Hong Jinbao, and now the two of them have gone hand in hand for more than 30 years, thinking that this is love.
05. Li Xiangning: Tan Daoliang
Li Xiangning, bruce Lee's daughter, when Xiaolong Brother died, she was only 4 years old, naturally there was not much opportunity to appreciate her father's style.
But her father's huge aura brought her a lot of pressure, so she chose to major in acting and followed Tan Daoliang to learn kung fu.
Tan Daoliang, the "leg king" of the jianghu, a move "gecko gong" famous shocked the film world, and the later god leg Liu Zhongliang was also his apprentice, Liu Zhongliang was the one who filmed "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt" and contributed to the famous scene of pinching eggs.
Bruce Lee's popularity has led to a boom in kung fu films, and many filmmakers have begun to recruit masters to make movies, and Tan Daoliang is one of the luckiest ones.
In 1973's "Chaozhou Nu Han", partner Lin Fengjiao, turned into a martial arts superstar.
After that, the film contract continued, as soon as the camera started, he began to play, and at the peak of the day, he rushed to shoot 8 movies a day, according to his own disclosure, he set a record of 27 days without sleep.
When Tan Daoliang was hot, Jackie Chan was only a supporting role around him, and even sometimes he had to be used as a stand-in for him to complete some dangerous actions.
But then Jackie Chan found his own positioning, with "Snake-shaped Executioner" and "Drunken Fist" to take the first step towards superstardom, in contrast to Tan Daoliang, after the traditional kung fu film boom receded, he simply chose to take the shadow and open a martial arts hall and do business in the United States.
Tan Daoliang's choice is undoubtedly correct, leaving the best youth on the screen.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhou Xingchi was preparing to shoot "Kung Fu", he had asked him to play the fire cloud evil god, but he politely refused. He felt that Zhou Xingchi had high expectations of himself, and he was not prepared, so he refused.
In addition, there are Yang Panpan's master Pink Chrysanthemum, Yuan Qiu's master Yu Zhanyuan, and their apprentice, who once ruled half of hong Kong action movies.
Nowadays, the word "female star" has long disappeared, and the era of hard bridges and hard horses has long gone, replaced by full screen special effects, ushering in a variety of unreal movies, nostalgic for the era when the masters gathered. (Author: 11)
