#Hong Kong Film Memoirs #Hong Kong movies in the 1990s are definitely worthy of the title of "Hollywood of the East", and the prosperity scene is something we can't imagine in the new century.
Among the male stars, the filmmakers represented by Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Chow Sing-chi and Hong Jinbao, Wan Ziliang, Lee Xiu-hsien, Andy Lau, Yuan Biao, etc. who are "one out of two weeks" lead the way, and they continue to push Hong Kong films to one peak after another with their excellent acting skills and full expressiveness, composing a legend belonging to the Hong Kong film era.
But Hong Kong movies are definitely not only the world of male stars, the style displayed by female filmmakers is also fascinating, Maggie Cheung, Wang Zuxian, Liu Jialingling, etc., the role in the history of Hong Kong films is also pivotal.
Today we are going to talk about a group of female hit stars, and we can use the phrase "not to let the eyebrows be shaved" to describe the style of Hong Kong film actresses.
The actions displayed by the female hit stars are also no less than the action stars led by Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and others, which is enough to make people hormones soar.
Li Saifeng, Hu Huizhong, Yang Lijing, Yang Ziqiong, Hui Yinghong, Yang Panpan, Oshima Yugary, etc., one by one, familiar names, like shining stars, lit up in the eastern sky. In that era when there was no beauty, they wanted to have a good look, and they wanted to have a style and a style, which was unforgettable.
Memories of an era
Turning back to the yellowing history page, there is only a sigh of relief for the real action of relying on real appearance and fist to flesh.
The following female hit stars may not all be able to represent the era of Hong Kong film kung fu and action movies, but they must have influenced Hong Kong movies and have their own loyal fans, such as me.
Li Saifeng
Li Saifeng, who has not shown her skills, looks absolutely a weak woman, with a small and exquisite figure and a round face, she is more like the heroine who came out of Qiong Yao's movie. However, when I saw her skillful movements, I had to exclaim: Is there such a clean and neat movement in the world? Her movements, more like a twist from the bones, make people breathe a lot.
Born in 1965, Li Saifeng has a solid dance foundation. Therefore, the action of its fighting is all too normal.
Li Saifeng is my favorite actress, there is no one, every time she starred in the movie, I will try to watch it. Among them, I was most impressed by "Angel Action" filmed in 1987, but it seems that the appearance of the work is more than ten years later, when it was regarded as a heavenly person - the current name: goddess!
Unfortunately, too many dog blood plots occurred on Li Saifeng's body later, and his reputation was ruined, and his career was destroyed, and then he never saw his fang on the screen.
For a movie fan, no matter what the plot of others is in private, I always think that it belongs to other people's family affairs and private affairs. I only recognize Li Saifeng in the play and worship her life in the play. But can I control the affairs of the world? A generation of female hit stars disappeared, leaving regrets in vain for the audience under the curtain. To this day, I still miss her wonderful movies and the incomparable action in the movies.
Hu Huizhong
Among the generation of goddesses hu hui, the most memorable masterpiece is "Overlord Flower"!
Hu Huizhong, born in 1958, whether it is language or acting career, is inseparable from Hong Jinbao, she got the help of Hong Jinbao, learned Cantonese, and was created by Hong Jinbao, becoming a famous martial arts actress who was very popular at that time.
"Overlord Flower" is Hu Huizhong's masterpiece. In "Overlord Flower", Hu Huizhong plays the role of policewoman Madam Hu, a role that is highly cold and can be played, which makes people love and fear.
In my impression, it is "Chinese Police Flower" that is the most profound, because the film is filmed by the mainland, naturally there is no Hong Kong film's imagination, and there is more seriousness and restraint, but the main actor is Hu Huizhong, although the story is too serious, the plot is too procrastinating, but Hu Huizhong's personal performance is difficult to pick. In the play, the action is clean and neat, handsome and beautiful, which makes people's blood boil.
Since then, Hu Huizhong has played Li Xiaohuan, the wife of Lei Tiger, in Jet Li's version of "Fang Shiyu", and has had an opponent scene with Jet Li, which is equally wonderful, and plays a woman who is between good and evil very well. After she got married, she focused her life on the family, rarely appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and gradually became a memory that a generation could not erase.
It is said that Hu Huizhong is also the sister of the popular actress Sun Li's grandmother, that is, her aunt. Perhaps, this is the gene, although there is no direct blood relationship or even coincidence, but who can deny the miracle in the common blood.
Yang Lijing
Now Yang Lijing has rarely seen it. Occasionally in some works to make a cameo, but also mostly in a role such as the big mother, a little careless, but also think that it is a passerby A.
But back in the 1990s, Yang Lijing was a good hitter.
Born in 1968 in Taiwan, Yang Lijing officially entered the Hong Kong film industry in 1988 when she first starred in the movie "Royal Sister 3: The Male and Female Thief". In the early days, most of them were female police roles, such as Nie Ling in "Super Policewoman", Yang Liqing in "Royal Master Sister" and so on. With these roles and outstanding performances, she gradually became a hot action actress of that era.
At that time, Yang Lijing was the "spokesperson" of the female police.
But in fact, Yang Lijing's role is not only a policeman, she also starred with Zheng Shaoqiu in the costume martial arts drama "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", and also starred in the costume drama "Heaven and Earth Qiying Mulan" and the martial arts drama "Thunderbolt Bodhisattva", similarly, the scene of "fighting" is equally intense and wonderful.
Just like male stars Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Wu Jing and others, because of long-term shooting of action movies, there are often such accidents, it can be said that the injuries on the body are impossible for outsiders to appreciate.
Actress Yang Lijing also failed to avoid being "beaten", in 1997, when she cooperated with Zhou Billy's "Gang Head General", she was kicked by Zhou Billy to the back wall, and she lost consciousness instantly. I believe that seeing The little friends of Zhou Billy and Jet Li's "Jingwumen" should remember the image of the Japanese officer "fierce", Zhou Billy is a real kung fu, and that kick can be imagined.
At the beginning, Yang Lijing did not pay much attention to it, but she never expected that the strength of this foot basically "kicked" her out of the action movie. Because of this kick, coupled with the old pain and new injuries before and after, she had to stop the action movie, which was very sad.
As for Yang Lijing's love and marriage, it is not satisfactory, several boyfriends, are "scumbags", but it has nothing to do with this article, we will not say.
We only need to remember that Yang Lijing, as a popular actress in the glorious history of Hong Kong cinema, has been the childhood memory of countless people, and she is also the goddess in the minds of countless people!
Yang Ziqiong
If someone asks who the most popular female star is, I think more people will talk about Yang Ziqiong. After all, it seems that only Yang Ziqiong is still active in the film industry with the image of beating women.
Born not in Chinese mainland or Hong Kong, but in Malaysia, Yang Ziqiong, whose ancestral home is Fujian, China, was born in 1962.
She graduated from the Royal Academy of Dance and danced to lay the foundation for her later acting career.
Yang Ziqiong's first film was "The Owl and Dumbo". By 1985, she starred in the "Royal Sister" series of films and transformed into a female hit star.
Yang Ziqiong is a prolific artist, with many movies and many male stars she has cooperated with. The most classic is the "Police Story 3 Super Cop" with Jackie Chan, as well as the "007 Empire of Tomorrow" that broke into the Hollywood market, and the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with Zhou Runfa and Zhang Ziyi. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" even won the 73rd Academy Awards and the 58th Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the film and her personal success are very fruitful.
Yang Ziqiong's good skills are well known to everyone——
In the role played by Yang Ziqiong in the series of movies "Police Story", most of the difficult actions are played by herself.
In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yang Ziqiong successfully interpreted the oriental traditional female Yu Xiulian in the play, which can not only play, but also play the unique charm of oriental women. It is this film that further establishes Yang Ziqiong's status as the "Queen of Martial Arts".
When casting the series "007: Empire of Tomorrow", the filmmakers only had two conditions: one was to be tall enough; Second, we must have a little kung fu foundation. Yang Ziqiong naturally won, the tall figure we have for all to see, why is she more than a kung fu foundation? It's super playing!
Now Yang Ziqiong, it is also rare to see her films. It is said that she and her boyfriend of sixteen years, Jean Todd, had been engaged a few years earlier, and as a woman, a return to the family may have become inevitable. It's just a pity that in my generation of film fans, there will be one less actress who can really play, and I still can't help but feel a little sad when I think about it.
Li Saifeng and other female stars, with talent, chance and hard work, have made positive contributions to the development of Hong Kong film history. But the prosperous Hong Kong films at that time, did they stop them? The first beauty Lin Qingxia, how many men are fascinated by women's clothing.
There are also Hui Yinghong and Yang Panpan, who have played Jin Yong's "Legend of the Archery Hero" Mu Nianci, from Japan to Hong Kong, Oshima Yukari, who participated in "The Army Of the Yang Family Female Generals", etc., they also left a strong mark for Hong Kong's popular action movies with their excellent skills.
Pity, regret: female hit stars are like unborn resources, less and less.
The era of the decline of Hong Kong film
In recent years, we have clearly felt the decline of Hong Kong films, and it is rare to see good works again. The reason for this is really difficult to say clearly. We are now watching movies, the actors are still the old faces of the past, Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei, Zhen Zidan, Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, the trend of green and yellow is particularly obvious.
In terms of female hit stars, it is even more lamentable, and it is difficult to find any traces. Although this is related to the fact that the demand for playing in the general environment is no longer as strong as it was then, the shortage of talents should be the root cause of the decline of the entire Hong Kong film.
epilogue
In the past action movies or kung fu movies, actors must have the corresponding foundation, in addition to physical fitness, but also need to be able to do the action of the conditions, such as the past Li Saifeng, Yang Ziqiong and other people, they basically have a solid dance foundation. Therefore, when they "fight" in the play, every action is smooth and pleasing to the eye, without any sense of violation.
Nowadays, the film market is a prosperous scene, whether it is a kung fu film or an action movie, but it does not necessarily have to have a corresponding foundation, can reach out, can kick, and become a beautiful action after being modified by the lens.
Just hope that the good memories still exist!
Li Saifeng's pleasing actions may be difficult to reproduce, and only by occasionally opening old films and retrieving actions that belong to the past can you feel that the once obsessive shots have not been far away!
Often missed;
What a pity!
