a film festival event,
Hong Kong's "Seven Little Blessings" reunited.
Maybe many young friends don't know much about the Seven Little Blessings,
In addition to Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, such well-known big stars are from the "Seven Little Blessings",
The world of Hong Kong movies, especially Hong Kong action movies, should be regarded as the "Seven Little Blessings".
In that "bloody, rainy" world,
The story of "Seven Little Blessings" is full of legends -
Worship, learn art, life and death contract?
Are we advancing together or are we going to kill each other?
Brotherhood or brotherhood?
This old combination adds up to four or five hundred years old,
Still using stories to add bricks to the entertainment industry.
Speaking of "Seven Little Blessings", we have to mention Yu Zhanyuan,
Once a famous Beijing opera singer,
Unfortunately, the times are not powerful,
Mixed up a little bit poorly,
The good thing is that Zhan Yuan is more economically minded,
I can't be famous for singing and playing by myself,
Just take the apprentices to make money,
So the Chinese Theater Studies Institute was founded.
The name is really intimidating,
In fact, it is a pear garden, running the rivers and lakes to sell songs,
Yu Zhanyuan is the class master.
What kind of child will be sent in,
First, it is naughty and active, causing trouble everywhere, and the family cannot be moved;
Second, learning is not good, and it is estimated that there is no reading talent;
Third, parents like Peking Opera and want their children to fulfill their wishes.
Although in the name of modernization,
But in fact, many of them still follow the rules of the old pear garden -
Let the discipline be punished, and kill without complaint.
Yu Zhanyuan's earliest apprentice was named Wu Mingcai,
It didn't take long to get started and leave,
Followed Hu Jinquan to make several movies,
I thought I stepped into the movie theater,
In fact, it is a mirror flower water moon,
It is said that he later became one of the first Hong Kong filmmakers to break into the mainland.
Later, he took in a student surnamed Fu.
It is said that I can't stand to go away without practicing for a few days.
Then there's Hong Jinbao,
Hong Jinbao became a righteous master brother.
Or maybe it's because there's a "yuan" in his name.
Yu Zhanyuan gave each enrolled student the name of "Yuan",
Hong Jinbao changed his name to "Yuan Long",
At that time, Jackie Chan, who was also called Chen Gangsheng, changed his name to "Yuan Lou",
And also
Yuan Biao,
Yuan Kui,
Yuanhua,
Yuanwu,
Yuantai,
Yuan Qiu, the only female student.
Yuan Qing, later Yuan Heping.
Yuande,
Yuanjun,
Yuanbin,
Yuan Zhen,
Meta treasure.
There are fourteen students in total.
"If you want to eat shrimp, you have to work hard"
This is a mantra that Yu Zhanyuan often recites on his lips,
The hard work of learning can be seen here.
Stretching, leg splitting, flipping,
Foot kung fu, fighting style, stunt moves,
Everything must be learned,
Everything must be fine,
Practice for nineteen hours a day,
In addition to cleaning and cleaning, dry coolies.
This is the learning life of children.
reputedly
The most beaten of these students is Yuan Lou, that is, Jackie Chan.
After Jackie Chan enrolled,
His father came to see him,
Gave the teacher Yu Zhanyuan some gifts,
He also made a request to Yu Zhanyuan to jackie Chan to worship Gan Daddy,
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhanyuan agreed,
Jackie Chan became Yu Zhanyuan's "QiZai",
The brothers all shouted jackie Chan "Your Highness gan".
If you think that if you worship your father, you will get preferential treatment,
Then you're wrong.
Yu Zhanyuan said:
You are my son, and you can't let people say that I am eccentric.
thereupon
Whoever makes a mistake in the division brothers will be beaten, and Jackie Chan must accompany him.
If he is involved, he will be punished twice.
Oh daddy's son.
But maybe it's just a lot of fighting,
The harshness of the teaching,
Jackie Chan became the most popular among these students.
There is no need to say more about Jackie Chan's works,
From domestic to international,
Jackie Chan's influence is indeed punched out,
Even if there is a son suspected of drugs and an illegitimate daughter,
Jackie Chan's contribution to Chinese cinema is undeniable.
And Hong Jinbao, the master brother who replaced the upper position,
It has indeed become a veritable big brother.
In the eyes of Jackie Chan and other disciples,
Hong Jinbao is a natural leader and the king of domineering.
Don't look at Hong Jinbao's beautiful face when he was a child,
In fact, at a young age, he has an unusual desire to control,
It looks like a big brother.
There are many big brothers in the Hong Kong film industry,
In Chen Kexin's eyes, Zeng Zhiwei is the eldest brother,
In the eyes of many people, Jackie Chan is the big brother,
But for Zeng Zhiwei and Jackie Chan,
Hong Jinbao is the big brother.
Speaking of this once beautiful master brother,
How did he become the "most flexible fat man" now,
It's also a ridiculous past—
Hong Jinbao broke his ankle during a training session and was hospitalized.
I sent a lot of good food at home,
To give Hong Jinbao a good recuperation,
Just eat it, eat it,
Plus injuries can not exercise,
The result can be imagined -
Hong Jinbao became a fat man without compromise,
Until now.
Originally set by Qingyi, Hong Jinbao Fat became so fat that he could still act?
Yu Zhanyuan had to arrange some of his dragon running work,
Of course, Hong Jinbao did not want to,
Thinking that the 7-year contract has also expired,
Fortunately, I left the school,
Began his film career.
Stills from Hong Jinbao's "The Flying Dragon General".
Stills from Hong Jinbao's "Miscellaneous Boys".
Stills from Hong Jinbao's "The Legend of the Ip Man 2 Grandmaster".
Again,
The drama school that has been tepid,
Finally waited for the opportunity to perform for the first time,
Yu Zhanyuan spoke excitedly,
He said that he would select seven of the best students to participate in the performance.
Yu Zhanyuan announced the list:
Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Tai, Yuan Hua, Yuan Wu, Yuan Kui, Yuan Biao,
These seven are really the best,
At least five of them have international visibility.
The famous "Seven Little Blessings" was born from here,
Let's talk about them one by one and say --
Yuan Biao
When Yuan Biao entered the school, he was a well-behaved and cute child.
And very talented in flipping heel fighting,
Everyone called him "The King of Fighting",
Yu Zhanyuan loved him very much.
It is precisely because of this kind of well-behaved excellence,
Once caused the jealousy of Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan,
There have also been some small conflicts between children.
But
After growing up and acting in movies,
The relationship between Yuan Biao and Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao should be the best,
Known as the iron triangle of Hong Kong comedy action films.
Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao fight in groups, watching and laughing once.
Stills from the movie "Plan A".
Stills from the movie "The Loser".
Stills from the movie "Immortals in the Painting".
last year
Yuan Biao's daughter married,
Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and others were present to congratulate,
Yuan Biao, who has been sixty plus, faded out of the entertainment circle,
Enjoy the day.
Yuanhua
Yuanhua debuted as Bruce Lee's stand-in,
Later, he played a funny villain role in many movies starring Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao.
Stills from the movie "The Condor of the East".
Stills from the movie "The Wyvern".
When Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and other division brothers were in full swing,
Yuanhua has always been in the position of a tepid villain,
But the fist and foot kung fu is more and more exquisite, and the acting skills are more and more skilled,
finally
In Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu",
Yuen Wah won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.
You know,
Even Jackie Chan has never won the Hong Kong Academy Awards,
Some people say,
That's what the Hong Kong Film Awards owe to those action actors.
Yuanhua took the lead in gaining recognition.
Yuan Kui
Unlike other division brothers,
YuanKui has been a child who does not talk much since he was a child,
Low-key, less appearance,
Talk less and do more,
Hard-working doers.
As an actor,
The only thing that Yuan Kui may be impressive is the phrase "safety first" in "Fang Shiyu 2".
After all, a character like Yuan Kui is not suitable for being an actor,
Yuan Kui became a martial arts instructor and became a director.
Jackie Chan's "Young Master Dragon",
Hong Jinbao's "Royal Master Sister",
Jet Li's "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" and "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard",
Andy Lau's "The Obsessive Mood Long Sword of the Ninety-Two Divine Eagles",
Wait a minute
All of them are pointed out by Yuan Kui director Jia Wu.
Stills from the movie "Ninety-Two Divine Eagles' Crazy Mood Sword".
Yuanwu
There is very little information about YuanWu,
His name is Zhou Yuanwu,
It has also been said,
His name is Zhou Yuanjun.
This one disappeared in the early eighties.
Yuantai is the same.
In fact
The "Seven Little Blessings" have never been just seven people,
The 14 students mentioned above are all members of the "Seven Little Blessings".
Yuan Qiu.
Yuan Qiu is the only female student in the "Seven Little Blessings",
At the age of 17, he began to step into the film circle,
Like Yuanhua, he debuted as a stand-in.
The Yuan Qiu that everyone is most familiar with should be the charter wife in the movie "Kung Fu".
.Yuanqing.
Who Yuanqing is may not be known,
But Yuan Heping,
Famous martial arts instructor,
Yuanqing is actually Yuan Heping.
Yuan Heping's father, Yuan Xiaotian, was the first martial arts instructor in the history of Hong Kong cinema.
Yuan Heping studied under Yu Zhanyuan and continued the family style.
Needless to say,
Just look at his winning record to see how good this man is.
Stills from the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
.Yuande.
On looks,
Yuande is the most photogenic in the "Seven Little Blessings",
In his early years, he also starred in some of Shaw's films,
But the response was flat,
Even later, I could only receive some garbage characters.
until
Yuan De changed to martial arts instructor,
But it got everyone's unanimous praise,
Yuan De is completely dead when the heart of the star,
Concentrate on working behind the scenes.
.Yuanbin.
Because parents like drama to send their children to learn drama,
Yuan Bin is this type.
Among the brothers of the Division,
Yuan Bin is relatively inconspicuous,
Even if you enter the film industry,
Following Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao,
Yuan Bin is still not noticeable,
Instead, he later threw himself under the door of another famous martial arts instructor, Cheng Xiaodong.
Did the classic action scenes of big movies such as "Undefeated in the East",
More appreciated by Xu Ke,
The year before Xu Ke's "Wise Tiger Mountain" is a martial finger made by Yuan Bin,
It was also nominated for Best Action Design at the 52nd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
The rest,
Yuanbao and Yuanzhen have been obscure,
Yuanjun disappeared early, like Yuantai and Yuanwu.
A total of 14 people's "Seven Little Blessings" have gone through nearly half a century,
They're like a legend that has been circulating in the movie circle,
They have witnessed the ups and downs of Hong Kong cinema.
In the internationally renowned and disappearing transformation,
They have too many stories,
Wait for the loyal audience to speak slowly.
