Sammo Hung: "With me, you are the little brother, fortunately your father's father did not come, if you come, you will become a grandson." ”
Jackie Chan: "Grandpa, grandpa." ”
In 2017, the Jackie Chan Action Movie Week was lively, but Sammo Hung, who was a guest, publicly said that he was a "grandson".
Although Jackie Chan took the stubble with high emotional intelligence, fans still felt that fat Hong was too deceptive.

So, when Hong recently won the Asian Film Lifetime Achievement Award, some people mocked:
The works, popularity, and influence are not as good as Jackie Chan,
Why equal?
A question mark throwing fans buzzing in their heads, yes, why?
▲Lifetime Achievement Award Award site
By his large tonnage and gray hair?
Perhaps it is the master brother of Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Lin Zhengying and others who are willing to follow his lead.
With his contribution to the Hong Kong film industry, it is not bad.
Wu Yanzu, a famous old artist of the Questioning School, once said in "Special Police New Humans": To come out and mix, you must have power and background.
▲ "New Humanity" stills
This is especially appropriate for Sammo Hung.
Because his grandfather is Hongji, the big guide of the Shaw family who is willing to spend a lot of money to dig the foot of the wall, and his grandmother is a famous female star Qian Ying.
▲ Grandmother Money like a warbler
Uncle is a modern drama, and a pioneer of film art, which is a small matter, and the harder network is Wang Tianlin (Wang Jing's father) cultivated by Hong Ji.
The "Eight Tiger Generals" under him will all be good players in Hong Kong in the future.
▲ Shaw Studio
With such a growth environment and good connections, it is inevitable that fat Hong will enter the circle.
And if he wants to skip the middle grinding process, it is not difficult to enter the debut link directly, but the bad is bad in the wrong era.
▲Sammo Hung in childhood
At that time, the entertainment industry regarded stealing and playing tricks as a shameful thing, so if he wanted to enter the circle, he had to honestly start by learning from a teacher.
So he entered the Chinese Theater Academy and became Yu Zhanyuan's apprentice, entering the Yuan character generation, named Yuanlong, is the master brother of Qixiaofu, and the little junior brother Yuanlou is the future international kung fu superstar Jackie Chan.
▲Seven small blessings
At that time, Boss Yu's youngest daughter, Yu Suqiu and his wife, were Shaw's well-known horns.
With this relationship, Yu Zhanyuan had the opportunity to let the apprentices follow the senior sister to film and see the world, and it is unknown whether they can stamp the internship official seal.
But Fat Hong must have caught the line of acting, and "Education of Love" is his first work.
▲ "Education of Love" stills
After many years of "singing, chanting and fighting", Fat Hong finally became a teacher, and took the opportunity of "internship experience" to directly enter the Shaw job.
But not airborne, but continue to be a little brother: he has worked as a martial artist and a passing worker, and even the drama is his job.
This miscellaneous day kept him busy and inspired his ambition to get ahead, and 1971 was a juncture.
▲ Entering the early Shaw period
That year, Yu Zhanyuan disbanded the drama class, and Jackie Chan, who had no background and no fame, began his career since then.
That year, Sammo Hung joined Jiahe Film and won the first Golden Dragon Award for Best Action Design with "The Golden Sword of Life".
▲ "Golden Sword" stills
That year, Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong for development, and because of the three conditions offered by Shaw, it was difficult for Shaw to accept, and finally joined the Jiahe camp.
▲ Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee
As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, unless one male and one female.
Even if Sammo Hung won the Action Design Award for Jiahe, he is still a substitute in Jiahe's eyes.
It is said that he was still very unconvinced at that time, holding the mentality of Wen Wu First and Wu Wu Second to ask Bruce Lee to fight.
As a result, before he could get up, the opponent's foot was close to the door, and this kind of power crushing instantly made him understand the gap between the two, and returned to the substitute position like an eggplant.
▲ Bruce Lee and Sammo Hung on the set
Steadily ran the dragon set, and took the opportunity to run the dragon trick to stuff the little junior brother Jackie Chan into the group performance team of "Jingwu Gate".
After competing with Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung began to be willing to be a lining.
And in the process of cooperation, I gradually admired this old iron who has great combat effectiveness on both the stage and in real life.
At that time, he was already mentally prepared to recognize others as big brothers, but the sudden death of Bruce Lee two years later caught everyone off guard.
▲Bruce Lee memorial service
Especially Jiahe, he looked at the schedule of the beginning of the year with a confused face.
In order to stabilize market share, the company had to let Sammo Hung on the waiting bench play and catch half of Bruce Lee to continue to carry forward.
In order to carry this banner and feed all the brothers, he summoned his former classmates and other martial artists.
Establish the Hong family class with Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, and Wuma as the backbone, specializing in drama.
▲The Hong family class in the early days
Later members include: Qian Jiale, known as the ceiling of Wu Ti, and Michelle Yeoh, who has been in the limelight these two days;
Of course, it also included his little junior disciple Yuanlou, but at that time, Yuanlou had already become Chen Yuanlong.
The original intention of creating the Hong Family Class was so that the martial artists could huddle together to keep warm, but the greater significance is that it has cultivated many action movie bigwigs, and even pioneers.
The reason for this result is largely due to Sammo Hung's brilliant mind, righteousness and good use of others.
He does not pay attention to individualism and cares more about team development, so during the filming process, he always tries to find opportunities for people in the team to show their faces, such as Uncle Ying.
Before entering the Hong family class, his main job was to run tricks to become a dragon and tiger martial artist, let alone show his ambitions if his career was tepid.
▲Lin Zhengying who ran the trick
Hong Jiaban set up Uncle Ying to come to defect, Sammo Hung knew that he was a stuffy gourd and did not like to talk, so most of the roles assigned to him were Gao Leng Fan'er villains.
For example, in "Ghost Fighting", people don't talk much to catch fast characters.
▲ As a catcher
Although the scene is still not much, it allows Uncle Ying to see his career plan clearly.
Subsequently, a "Mr. Zombie" made him quickly walk the red port circle and Southeast Asia, becoming a zombie Taoist who has never come before.
▲ "Mr. Zombie" stills
In addition to Uncle Ying, Zou Zhaolong, Zeng Zhiwei, Qian Xiaohao, etc. are all talents from the Hong family's class.
Even if the Hong Jiaban reaches the point of sunset, the Cao Rong delivered can still shock the senses of a generation.
For example, emptiness in "The Demon Sect Leader of the Sky and Dragon Slayer";
Prince Moang in "Journey to the West Sequel",
The ghost animal Goku in "Journey to the West", his sentence "I haven't used my strength, you will fall" is still very deep when I think about it.
In addition to promoting his brother in his career, Fat Hong is also extremely righteous in private affairs, and has the style of a brother.
At that time, Jackie Chan was not yet famous, and he mixed martial arts with Bruce Lee and Senior Brother Hong, and he was beaten three times to earn 5 yuan.
This kind of physical work makes Jackie Chan see no future, and his mood is even more low.
▲ Big brother reminisces
So Fat Hong took him to run the crew everywhere, as long as he could intervene, he would definitely arrange a hand for the little brother.
In the end, he was barely helped to the door of "Serpentine Executioner", and then exploded, and he broke away from his senior brother like a mature spore plant and began to walk independently.
After becoming popular, Jackie Chan also established his own team, which can be regarded as a blossom with the Hong family class.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two are in competition, but in Sammo Hung's view, he is still the little junior brother who is not a weapon and needs to be covered by himself.
▲The first generation of family classes
So in the early 90s, when I heard that more than 40 people were besieging Jackie Chan in a restaurant, they put down their chopsticks and rushed to the scene and saved Brother Long, who had planned to fish dead and break the net.
▲ Memories are surrounded
So when he saw that Jackie Chan and Huang Xiao almost had a vendetta because of "one urine", he quickly pulled a fight;
▲ Huang Xiao tells the past with Jackie Chan
So when he didn't dare to jump the bell tower during the filming of "Plan A", he scolded him for letting him roll down.
▲Plan A's clock tower
Jackie Chan's popularity may not be taught by Senior Brother Hong, but it can be regarded as an escort all the way.
In Sammo Hung's words, "he owes me too much", and Hong Kong stars "owe" him, why not Jackie Chan?
▲Sammo Hung recalls Plan A shooting
In 1986, shortly after Andy Lau became famous, TVB imposed a snow storage punishment on him for about 400 days for his unwillingness to renew his contract.
The star named Xuezo is actually banned, and there is no exposure, so what kind of star is it?
So TVB is planning to consume to death, and the other teams that get this meaning do not dare to touch the mold to find Andy Lau to film, except Sammo Hung.
▲The fledgling Hua Zi
At that time, Fat Hong had quite a say in Jiahe, and had a close relationship with forces in the circle such as Shaw and New Art City Pictures.
Therefore, during the snow storage, he lent Andy Lau out to shoot "Summer Lucky Star", which was regarded as picking him out of the refrigerator in disguise.
▲Andy Lau and Yuan Biao in "Summer"
This kindness made Heavenly King Liu remember half of his life, and said in an interview: "As long as he needs, I will be there at any time." ”
In 1988, Uncle Ying, who had become famous, was hilarious in a bar and clashed with another spiritual guy in a slight drunkenness.
I thought that the name of self-proclaiming "Hong Family Class" could calm things down, but the other party didn't care about what red family class and green family class, and the guy was going to start working.
The good man did not eat the loss in front of him, and quickly called Fat Hong for help, and called his eldest brother when he saw him on the other side.
As a result, Sammo Hung and Chen Wai Min were staring at each other in the bar.
▲ Big guy Chen talks about interesting things in the past
One is from a dragon and tiger martial artist, while the other is a real practitioner, and you can know at a glance how it ends.
To this day, Sammo Hung's mouth has a scar that cannot be removed, called "the scar of righteousness".
Although he claims to be injured during filming, this statement is a bit too coincidental in terms of time.
Such episodes, if Fat Hong wants to talk, it is estimated that he can soak his feet from dark to early in the morning.
It is precisely because of this that he has excellent reviews among his peers in Hong Kong.
As for why the big brother in the circle,
But the popularity of the road is very poor?
Maybe it's because he's so scum!
In the prosperous era of Hong Kong films, it was very explosive in the whole of Asia, so Kimchi Country invited Hong Kong stars to cooperate every three to five, and Sammo Hung was a frequent guest on the invited list.
At that time, in order to eliminate communication barriers, the Korean side also specially equipped him with a female translator - Cao Enyu.
▲ Cao Enyu and son Hong Tianming
In a foreign country and lonely, it was not long before he became interested in Cao Enyu, who took care of the living.
Just when the two were about to go to the hotel to study the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-Year Simulation", the front desk who did not understand the world actually asked them to show their driver's licenses, otherwise they would not open a room.
The angry Hong chubby dragged his girlfriend's hand on the spot to apply for a marriage certificate, turned his head and came back to slap the marriage certificate to the front desk: Na! Driving license! Open a room!
It is unknown what the error rate of "Five Years College Entrance Examination Three Years Simulation" was that night, but after the end of the work, he not only returned to China with his salary, but also returned the female translator Shun.
▲Sammo Hung, ex-wife Cao Enyu, sons Hong Tianming and Hong Tianxiang
No way, who doesn't admire the agile dragon hero?
So Cao Enyu did not hesitate to return to Hong Kong with Sammo Hung and became a full-time wife to take care of his family.
Distant marriage is a big gamble, and Cao Enyu originally planned to use the second half of his life to gamble on a white head and grow old.
But as the saying goes: nine out of ten bets loses.
The two had constant conflicts after marriage, especially he always went out with those "fox friends and dog friends" to engage in so-called entertainment, which made Cao Enyu exhausted.
He thought that after giving birth to children, he would be able to return to the family and take on the heavy responsibilities of being a father and a husband.
As a result, I don't want to be wishful thinking, because Lao Hong has been going back and forth with Hong Kong sister Gao Lihong for a long time.
▲ Gao Lihong when he was young
After Gao Lihong won the Hong Kong sister crown in 1984, she entered the entertainment industry to film.
But somehow, this sister does not like makeup and arms, and after filming "People Scary Ghosts", she had to learn martial arts, and finally worshiped under Sammo Hung.
▲Won the 1984 Hong Kong sister championship
The next setting can completely copy "Flower Thousand Bones", the difference is that when Gao Lihong boldly sent Qiu Bo to her master, her master and master had not yet divorced.
What's even more outrageous is that she was also cared for by her master, but the result was still that result, the virtuous family flower lost to the enchanting wildflower.
▲Hong, Gao, wedding scene
After experiencing the excitement of falling in love with Koryohong, Fat Hong went home and replaced the old person with a new one.
What makes everyone think "scum" is that he actually showed his love for his wife in "Lu Yu Has a Covenant", saying that "Gao Lihong is the first woman I love in my life".
▲ Lu Yu has an appointment to talk about his wife
This is equivalent to three words and two words, erasing all traces and past of the ex-wife.
But it is easy to change and difficult to change, and this kind of thing of love is always more interesting than the current one.
Therefore, even if Gao Lihong fully stopped at home with her husband and godson, and played with the old fate of fawning over her stepchildren, she could not stop her husband from spending days drinking and playing on the scene.
▲ Lu Yu talked about cheating in an appointment
In 2005, it was revealed that he had an illegitimate child, and in 2011, he was photographed in a Macau hotel, talking about ideals with a beautiful woman with ten fingers;
▲ Hong Kong media broke the news
In 2012, it was revealed that he had a secret meeting with a beautiful sister hotel for 3 hours, and in the same year, it was revealed that "the student sister returned to the hotel".
▲ Paparazzi broke the news
At that time, he was 60 years old, and he was still old and had a close relationship with beautiful girls.
The four-day and three-night tryst in the hotel is absurd to the point of smacking in the words of Taiwan media.
It was not until his health deteriorated in recent years, and he even needed a wheelchair and crutches to walk after surgery, that Hong Fat's so-called "playing on the scene" was nearing its end.
▲ The street was photographed
But what is even more amazing is Gao Lihong's ninja skills, which can respond to media inquiries every time with ease.
The posture of "self-deception" makes people not know whether to "empathize" her difficulty, or whether to hate iron and steel and scold her for not contending.
But in general, the "ninja word trick" still worked, and Mrs. Hong has been Gao Lihong for many years.
As long as her husband does not admit that he is cheating, Gao Lihong firmly believes that it is all rumors, and such concessions will eventually lead to the end of old age.
▲ Attend the event red carpet with his wife
At present, Sammo Hung is unable to move, and he has reached a period of weakness, and finally remembers his wife's goodness like a tired bird returning to the forest.
It is said that when his wife is not around, he will also commit the child's temper and picky eater, and even the children will not persuade him, only listening to Gao Lihong's words.
This kind of dependence on the end of autumn and late autumn makes people want to ask: which is more abusive, a good process, a bad end and a bad process, and a good end?
No matter which is more abusive,
It is impossible to deny that he has enough affair debts and is rotten enough.
became a microscopic blemish in jasper,
As for whether the flaws are not hidden,
Matter!
▲ Lu Yu talked about gossip in an appointment
postscript
After skimming Sammo Hung's life, let's return to the initial topic.
He really doesn't deserve to be on an equal footing with Jackie Chan,
Take this Lifetime Achievement Award?
Match!!!
On works and international influence,
He really can't shoot eight horses!
But the judging criteria for the Lifetime Achievement Award are not just based on the work, and the reason for being respected is not that he can play.
Instead, he ushered in a new era for Hong Kong action films and forcibly extended his life for 20 years.
Although this contribution is different from Jackie Chan's top-notch achievement, it is still worth remembering, and Hong Kong can no longer find such a flexible fat man.
