The mind is full of thousands, the vision is long.
"Boys Should Be Self-Reliant"
Huang Feihong is definitely the number one screen male protagonist in the Chinese film and television circle, so far there are more than 100 related film and television works, and there are at least a dozen actors who have played Huang Feihong, including Guan Dexing, Zhao Wenzhuo, Qian Jiale, Tan Yonglin, Peng Yuyan and so on.
When it comes to Huang Feihong, most people will naturally think of Jet Li, because the image of Huang Feihong he plays has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is almost the spokesperson for the role of Huang Feihong. That year, after Jet Li's "Huang Feihong's Heroic Ambition" was released, the audience called him Master Huang when they saw him.
Jackie Chan, a kung fu superstar with Jet Li, once played Huang Feihong, and it is also his famous work, but when the audience sees him, it is difficult to think of the generation of grandmaster Huang Feihong, only to see one Jackie Chan.
It's just so magical!
In 1978, Jackie Chan starred in the Minchu Kung Fu comedy "Drunken Fist", which won the annual Hong Kong box office runner-up. Jackie Chan became famous with this film, quickly became the hottest action actor in the Hong Kong film industry, and then was signed by Jiahe heavy gold, opening his road to superstardom.
Jet Li also experienced a period of lows after becoming popular with "Shaolin Temple" in 1982; later, when he was developing in the United States, he was invited back to Hong Kong by Xu Ke and became popular with a "Huang Feihong's Heroic Ambition", restarting his road to kung fu superstardom.
"Drunken Fist" is Jackie Chan's famous work, "Huang Feihong" is Jet Li's popular work; in "Drunken Fist" Jackie Chan plays Huang Feihong, and in "Huang Feihong" Jet Li also plays Huang Feihong.
However, the audience really can't imagine that Jackie Chan and Jet Li played the same person.
Similar examples:
Sun Wukong played by Stephen Chow in "Journey to the West" and Sun Wukong played by six young children in "Journey to the West" are the same role, but most of the time it is still difficult to make people feel the same person.
Andy Lau's Di Renjie in "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" and Di Renjie played by Liang Guanhua in "Detective Di Renjie" are also the same person, but one fat and one thin, one article and one martial arts, the gap is not small, but it is not enough to Huang Feihong.
Jackie Chan's Huang Feihong is a kung fu boy in the early Ming Dynasty, and the hairstyle of Huang Feihong in the movie is no different from that of Jackie Chan in reality; while Jet Li's Huang Feihong is a hongquan master of the late Qing Dynasty, with the iconic oxtail braid of the late Qing Dynasty, and the sense of age is very clear.
In the end, jackie chan and jet Li's two versions of Huang Feihong were on fire, jackie chan and jet Li were red, and they both took this as a new starting point and gradually grew into a world-class kung fu superstar.

In 1994, Jackie Chan's Drunken Fist II won the second place in the annual box office in Hong Kong, the second place in the box office in Taiwan, and the box office champion in Chinese films; and also let the cooperative Liu Jialiang win the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for the first time.
Since 1991, Jet Li and Jia He have cooperated in three consecutive "Huang Feihong", and then cooperated with Wang Jing in "Huang Feihong's Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", and Hong Jinbao cooperated in a "Huang Feihong's Western Lion", which laid the foundation for Jet Li's status in the Hong Kong film industry and also established the image of his on-screen Huang Feihong's spokesperson.
Jackie Chan and Jet Li played by Huang Feihong are both successful, the difference is: the kung fu comedy "Drunken Fist" has achieved Jackie Chan and Drunken Fist, and the new martial arts classic "Huang Feihong" has made Jet Li and Huang Feihong.
[Jackie Chan's Huang Feihong is more like Jet Li's Fang Shiyu.] 】
1978's "Drunken Fist" was produced by Wu Siyuan, the screenwriter and director was Yuan Heping, the Korean leg king Huang Zhengli played the main villain, and Yuan Heping's father Yuan Xiaotian played Huang Feihong's master Su Qi'er.
Huang Feihong, a young man played by Jackie Chan, is a tricky boy in the martial arts hall, who often causes trouble everywhere. This time, he provoked his cousin, and after being taught by his aunt, his father Huang Qiying decided to send him to Su Qi'er to learn the Eight Immortals.
Jackie Chan, who has been famous for many years, has been a Jiahe superstar, and in 1993, he restarted the "Drunken Fist" IP, inviting Liu Jialiang, the authentic descendant of Huang Feihong, to co-direct; Dillon starred in Huang Qiying, Andy Mui Yanfang starred as Huang Feihong's stepmother, behind which there were two major martial arts teams of Chengjia class and Liu Jiaban, as well as cameos by Andy Lau and Cao Ying.
At this time, Huang Feihong was still a small child, but he obviously knew a lot of things and liked to show kung fu everywhere, but he did not do the bad thing of flirting with the women of the good family.
In terms of martial arts style, although it is still the foundation of kung fu comedy, the rhythm, speed, strength and move design have improved a lot.
Especially in the final factory battle, Jackie Chan took the Chengjiaban brothers for a month, so that Lu Huiguang's leg skills were perfectly displayed; and Jackie Chan's tenacity of unlimited physical strength and never death was vividly displayed.
"Drunken Fist" is the initial formation of Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy style, and by the time of "Drunken Fist II", Jackie Chan has completed the upgrading and transformation of style modernization and internationalization; no matter who the director is, as long as it is Starring Jackie Chan, it is Jackie Chan's work, and his personal style is very obvious.
In 1991, Xu Ke invited Jet Li to shoot "Huang Feihong", which was determined to create a new martial arts classic and create a new era of martial arts movies.
Initially, Xu Ke also wanted to ask Liu Jialiang of the authentic Hongquan to be a martial arts instructor, but he could not accept Xu Ke's design request for seven consecutive kicks in the air and quit. After that, several batches of martial arts instructions were exchanged, and finally Yuan Heping, the world's first martial artist, came to save the field.
Therefore, in 1992, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Reliant" directly used Yuan Heping as a martial arts instructor, and also brought his apprentice Zhen Zidan, so that he and Jet Li jointly staged two classic martial arts plays that can be recorded in film history.
Compared with "Drunken Fist" 13 years ago, Yuan Heping's action design has also kept pace with the times, not only meeting the requirements of the director, but also leading the trend of martial arts films in the new era.
In these "Huang Feihong" movies, although Huang Feihong, played by Jet Li, is younger and handsome, he is already the head of the militia in Guangdong, the descendant of Bao Zhilin, and there are famous apprentices such as Lin Shirong, Ya Mosu and Liang Kuan, just like a martial arts master.
Jet Li's Huang Feihong is a hero and a master, so he will not cause trouble everywhere like Jackie Chan's Huang Feihong, but save people in the world, calm down the incident, and also have the family and the world in mind.
Therefore, such Huang Feihong's speech, walking and hands must be held; under Jet Li's interpretation, he is very stylish, dignified and majestic, which makes people awe-inspired.
He casually uttered "Akuan" or "Arong", and immediately made the disciples quiet and solemn. As soon as the music sounds, no one can beat it.
[At the beginning, "Drunken Fist" also had Huang Feihong's soundtrack, and by "Drunken Fist II" it was replaced by the soundtrack of "Drunken Fist".] 】
Whether the director is Xu Ke, or Wang Jing, Hong Jinbao, the martial arts instructor is Yuan Heping, or Yuan Kui, Yuan Bin, Hong Jinbao, Jet Li's Huang Feihong is a generation of masters.
Jet Li and Jackie Chan, two versions of Huang Feihong stand together, one is serious and the other is not serious, which is the difference between master and apprentice.
