In 1982, 15-year-old Meng Hai came to Hong Kong, a martial arts teenager with a dream of blooming on the screen.
At first, Meng Hai could only play some small roles with a meager salary, but he was not discouraged, and only wanted to give his all in every shot, hoping to become a real action star one day.
Opportunity finally appeared on the set, and a director looked at Meng Hai's martial arts and potential, giving him his first positive role in the new film "Blood Stained Red Lotus".
"Child, I see that you are not big, but the business is solid, so I will give you a chance this time!" The director uncle said gently.
Being able to go to the set outside of martial arts training is a great opportunity for Meng Hai. He nodded excitedly and vowed to go all out and live up to expectations.
When Meng Hai put on a costume, walked to the studio, and saw Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Jet Li and other seniors practicing in the venue, his heart was extremely excited. Finally, he became one of them!
During the filming, Meng Hai met his idol - Bruce Lee. Like love at first sight, the two quickly became acquainted, and Meng Hai has since worshiped Bruce Lee as a teacher and followed him to learn more martial arts skills.
"Brother Xiaolong, can you teach me that set of Dragon Claw Hand?" Meng Hai pleaded earnestly.
"Okay, but you have to practice hard, we can have a good competition in the future!" Bruce Lee readily agreed.
In this way, in the gap between the filming of the movie, Bruce Lee carefully guided Meng Hai and passed on his skills to this junior one by one. And Meng Hai also practiced tirelessly, for fear of failing Bruce Lee's painstaking efforts.
The movie is finally finished. Meng Hai had several wonderful rivalry scenes with Bruce Lee in the film, and the director praised them. At the celebration banquet, Meng Hai excitedly clinked glasses with Bruce Lee: "Brother, thanks to your careful guidance this time, my martial arts have improved rapidly!"
"Haha, not only martial arts, but also your acting skills have greatly improved. If you continue like this, you will definitely become a generation of grandmasters!" Bruce Lee was also very pleased.
After the release of "Blood Stained Red Lotus", the reputation and box office were very good. Meng Hai became a blockbuster and successfully became one of the first-line action actors. In the following years, he successively participated in a number of blockbuster action movies, and his martial arts scenes were well received by audiences and peers.
While filming "Dragon and Tiger Soldiers", Meng Hai met actress Rofolo from the United States. The two fell in love at first sight, and after a few months of sweet dating, Roflo proposed to Meng Hai to break up.
"I'm sorry, Meng Hai, I still decided to return to the United States to develop. As you know, the cultural differences between our two countries are too great. Rovlot's eyes filled with tears.
Meng Hai was silent. Indeed, the worlds of the two are worlds apart, and they are destined to have no chance to stay together.
"It's okay, I understand. Between us, we will always be best friends!" Meng Hai hugged Rovelo and dropped a friendly kiss on her cheek.
In 1985, 25-year-old Meng Hai was already one of Hong Kong's first-line action actors. The movies he starred in constantly set box office records, and the action scenes were even more dazzling, which dazzled the audience.
"Meng Hai's set of flying kicks is too handsome! I didn't expect him to be so agile. "I heard that he can also use a variety of weapons, and he is simply a martial arts master!" This wave of stick method combination punch, I saw it with enthusiasm!"
Every movie starring Meng Hai will set off a wave of discussion among the audience. Many people call him a "new generation of grandmasters", but Meng Hai has only one response - film well and go all out.
In 2003, Meng Hai announced his retirement, officially ending his glorious film career. For 25 years, he has dedicated his youth and passion to present the most wonderful martial arts shots in front of the audience. Now, it's time to give way to juniors.
"Thank you all for your support and love over the years! I will remember the years of youth that bloomed together. Meng Hai said emotionally at the farewell press conference.
A generation of grandmasters, success and fame. He came with only martial arts and dreams, and when he left, he carried forward Chinese martial arts and left his story in the movie forever.
