Follow me, don't have to pay the "overnight party"!
China's Pearl of the Orient Hong Kong is a rich place for kung fu films, especially in the 70s and 80s of the last century, major film and television companies competed for competition, and it formed an era of a hundred flowers of film.
Behind the unprecedented success of Hong Kong action films is the result of the hard work of all directors and stars. The most representative decent action stars are Bruce Lee, Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan, etc., but when it comes to the representatives of villain actors, there are Shi Jian, Zhou Billy, Lu Huiguang, Ni Xing and so on.

The one we want to talk about today, he is the golden villain in Hong Kong action movies, especially known for "leg skills", and Tan Daoliang, Liu Zhongliang, Kassava and so on are collectively known as the "four-legged king", he is the old drama bone - Huang Zhengli.

Hwang was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1944, and is actually a Korean. He has loved to learn martial arts since he was a child, and because of this, he has laid a solid foundation for his future career in art.

In Japan, the Hwang Jeong-lee family missed their hometown very much, and it was not until the smoke of World War 2 dissipated that the family moved back to their hometown in South Korea.
In the 1960s, taekwondo swept the world, and he liked to learn martial arts since he was a child, so he began to practice taekwondo at the age of 14, reached the master level in his early 20s, and even obtained the black belt 7 dan certification.
Similar to Tan Daoliang, who is also the "leg king", Huang Zhengli began to teach apprentices in South Korea at the age of 20, becoming a young "taekwondo master".
I believe that everyone knows that the biggest origin between South Korea and Vietnam is the "Vietnam War", and at this time, Huang Zhengli was requisitioned as a martial arts instructor for combat troops because of his special skills.
After coming to Vietnam, once, after a verbal altercation with a Vietnamese, the other party heard that he was actually a troop instructor, and immediately ignited the desire to challenge, and in a few days he would come to the door with a knife and ask for a duel. Huang Zhengli, who bears the honor of defending the country, very happily agreed to the other party's request.
In the process of fighting the Vietnamese, Huang Zhengli calmly faced, a few rounds down, a side kick hit the challenger's temple, the opponent was killed immediately. At this time, he received warm applause from his compatriots and has since become famous in South Korea.
After the end of the Vietnam War, Huang Zhengli returned to his hometown and continued to do his favorite work, during which he also studied martial arts more. At that time, he was a hero in the hearts of every Korean.
"Full of warmth and lust!" Without the intrusion of war, after the material life was satisfied, people also began to pursue spiritual enjoyment. And movies have become an indispensable spiritual food for everyone.
Korean Action Movie "One Footer Returns 2"
In 1974, invited by a Korean film and television company, Huang Zhengli participated in the Korean action film "One-Legged Return 2" and gave his screen debut. In this film, the martial arts director is the world-renowned taekwondo master Kwon Yong-man, and the strong cooperation between the two adds a lot to the film.

In the 1970s, the Hong Kong film market was excellent, but because of this, the major film and television companies worked overtime to supply the growing market demand.
In 1976, the big director Wu Siyuan was preparing to make a kung fu movie called "Southern Fist and North Leg", the protagonists had been set as Liu Jialiang and Wang Dao, but they could not find a suitable candidate to play the big villain. After several deliberations, Wu Siyuan set his sights on the already famous Korean actor Huang Zhengli.

Friends who like to watch old movies will probably not be unfamiliar with the villain role played by Huang Zhengli, just like in "South Fist and North Leg", the role of the "Silver Fox" he played, that is a "fierce man", especially his leg method, not only can open the bow left and right, but also fast, accurate, fierce, one move and one style to show the actual combat ability.
"South Fist and North Leg" achieved very good box office results as soon as it was released, and this exotic visitor has thus become the "best candidate" for the villains in the hearts of major film and television companies.
When it comes to the villains in the movie, most of them have a tough body, and they are all fierce and evil expressions. And Huang Zhengli, a pair of eyebrows is daunting, plus he has always liked to have a glimpse of a thick beard, which looks like the "best" among bad people.
Because of such unique appearance characteristics, in most of the film career, almost all of them are playing villains, and they are still the ultimate "BOSS" and become the object of the protagonist's decisive battle.

Speaking of Huang Zhengli's masterpiece, I have to say that a film that is known as the "egg pinch god film", this film is called "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt", which is his "mei kai twice" with Wu Siyuan and Liu Jialiang.
In this film, Huang Zhengli plays the big boss "solemn", full of white hair with a fierce face full of red light, coupled with the fierce and fierce "eagle claw gong", many years later, it is also a classic, and one move and one style are exemplary. Especially when he was crushed by the protagonist to crush the "egg egg", the scene where the egg flowers splashed is still fresh in my memory.

Jackie Chan is a world-famous kung fu superstar, and his path from the shadow is also full of hardships. The reason why he can achieve such a high level of achievement, in addition to personal efforts, he who carries an aura of justice in the film is inseparable from the background of the villain role.
The main villain, Huang Zhengli, is definitely an indispensable one in Jackie Chan's successful journey.
In the 1978 "Drunken Fist" starring Yuan Xiaotian and Jackie Chan, the big villain "Yan Tiexin" played by Huang Zhengli even overshadowed the protagonist Jackie Chan, and the final wonderful duel between the two was even more addictive.
In addition to "Drunken Fist", Jackie Chan's other famous work "Snake-shaped Executioner" also shined because of Huang Zhengli's full joining. In the film, he played the role of "Shangguan Yiyun", following the skillful eagle claw skill in "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt", Huang Zhengli played the characteristics of this kung fu to the extreme, and in many subsequent kung fu films, he became the "grandmaster" figure of eagle claw gong.
It is with these two film masterpieces that the cornerstone of Jackie Chan's becoming a kung fu superstar has been laid. Huang Zhengli, with his outstanding performance in "Snake-shaped Executioner" and a very deeply rooted appearance, huang Zhengli was also designated as the prototype of the "peach white" in the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball".

In Huang Zhengli's film career, he has starred in more than 50 movies, almost all of which showed himself as a rebel. What is funny is that in order to transform, in his self-directed and self-acting "Killing with a Knife", he played the male number one with the role of a positive character, but because the image of the bad guy was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he was not recognized by fans.
Think about it, most of the actors who have played the villain from the beginning of the film, once the role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is really difficult to transform. For example, Cheng Kui'an and He Jiaju in the "Four Evil Men" have also tried positive roles like Huang Zhengli, but most of them have failed.

From the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, many Hong Kong films had Wong Chung-lee's villain role as the actor, and many frontal duels, almost hit the Hong Kong action movie scene.

Heroes are late, the sun is thin! In 1989, after Huang Zhengli starred in Yuan Heping's film "Seattle Massacre", he slowly faded out of the screen and returned to South Korea to embark on the road of business.

In January 2003, Huang Zhengli, who has been pursuing taekwondo kung fu all his life, obtained the certification of taekwondo black belt nine dan, in this field, he is a real "ancestor".
