How influential was Bruce Lee? Stimulated Wong Kar-wai to shoot "A Generation of Grandmasters", Stephen Chow inspired the male god
July 20 marks the 50th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death. When his name is mentioned, almost everyone knows that he is a kung fu idol in the hearts of Chinese people, and let the world know Chinese culture. It has been 50 years since Bruce Lee left us, but his figure and legendary life are still active on and off the screen.
On this special day, a number of Blue V posted online to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of movie star Bruce Lee. Judging from the evaluation of official media, although the movie star Bruce Lee's life is short, his influence crosses borders and transcends generations.
Director Li Lizhi, who has filmed "The King of Comedy" and "Shaolin Football", also released a long article expressing his remembrance of Bruce Lee. Through the text, you can feel director Lizhi's reverence for Bruce Lee, and you can feel Bruce Lee's influence.
As Lizhi Lee said, Bruce Lee's film works have very little stock. He returned to Hong Kong from the United States in 1971 and starred in "Brother Tangshan", which was also Bruce Lee's first starring work, and once released, it set a highest-grossing record in Hong Kong, China at that time, and Bruce Lee quickly opened up his popularity, and this kung fu trend swept the world. Since then, he has starred in the classics of "Jingwumen", "Dragon Crossing the River", "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" and "Game of Death", which still make fans around the world crazy.
This influence directly affects the film and television industry, such as the movie star Stephen Chow, who has cooperated with Li Lizhi many times, is a super "dragon fan". Stephen Chow once said in an interview that he regarded Bruce Lee as a spiritual pillar, repeatedly studied the details of each other's works, and also placed Bruce Lee's photos in his office.
Not only that, Stephen Chow also imitated Bruce Lee's classic martial arts moves in many films, although it was imitation, Stephen Chow's idol worship and his elaborate design can be seen everywhere. In order to get close to Bruce Lee's state, Stephen Chow not only played the scene in person, but also studied with Bruce Lee's senior brother, which shows Xingye's true love for idols.
As a descendant of Bruce Lee, movie star Jackie Chan ran through the dragon set in a film starring Bruce Lee at the beginning of his debut, playing a small role that was knocked down just on the stage, and did not even show his face, and was beaten to the eye. But Jackie Chan joked: It feels great to be beaten by Bruce Lee! The main thing is that the other party is very caring for his juniors, and after learning that he accidentally injured Jackie Chan, he immediately hugged each other with a worried face.
In addition to the actors, director Wong Kar-wai was also inspired by Bruce Lee to make the film "A Generation of Grandmasters". Wong Kar-wai said that he passed by a newsstand while filming in Argentina and saw the covers of two Chinese magazines, Bruce Lee was one of them, which made him feel very shocked, but he did not expect that after so much in the past, Bruce Lee's influence has not diminished in the slightest, and it is this reason that inspired him to shoot "A Generation of Grandmasters" in the future, both to pay tribute to Bruce Lee and to inherit his kung fu spirit.
Bruce Lee's influence is not limited to China, even many foreign stars are Bruce Lee fans. Previously, when Jason Statham came to China to promote the new film, he revealed that Bruce Lee was his source of inspiration and praised China's kung fu superstars.
There is also Japanese post-90s actress Asahina Aya during her visit to Hong Kong, saying that she likes Bruce Lee very much, and therefore wants to participate in the filming of action movies.
In addition to many stars, there are also many "dragon fans" who commemorate and commemorate in different ways, for example, in Los Angeles, USA, a local Chinese artist specially created a life-size Bruce Lee statue to remember the movie star Bruce Lee.
From this point of view, Bruce Lee is not only an idol of a generation, but also a superstar sought after by the world, and it is precisely because of his kung fu and positive energy that more and more people understand Chinese kung fu and culture.
