In that exciting 70s, the Hong Kong film industry is surging, and a new storm is quietly but powerfully spreading. Unfortunately, Bruce Lee, who was peerless at that time, the martial arts superstar, fell in his prime, which undoubtedly made the entire martial arts world grief and suffered an extremely heavy blow.
After Bruce Lee left the world, there was a shortage of successors in the martial arts world, and the Hong Kong film industry fell into a short period of confusion and low ebb. Just when people were worried about the future development of martial arts films, Sammo Hung, a young brave man who has been honed for many years and gradually emerged, stepped forward with great ambition and resolutely played a new chapter of his own martial arts in this vibrant land.
Despite Sammo Hung's young age, he already has a strong will and a clear pursuit, with a never-say-die belief, and is committed to building his own film and television production team.
Fortunately, opportunities always favor those who are always ready Sammo Hung was fortunate to meet the veteran martial artist Han Yingjie, who had a unique eye and saw Sammo Hung extraordinary talent, and did not hesitate to accept his beloved son-in-law as a disciple, and taught him a wealth of martial arts concepts and practical combat experience.
Under the careful guidance of Han Yingjie, the young Sammo Hung gradually matured and gradually had the strength to form his own team. Sammo Hung first carefully selected a group of young disciples with a solid foundation, such as the members of the "Seven Little Blessings", and also absorbed some elite talents of the Lin family class, such as Chen Huiyi, Lin Zhengying, Qian Yuesheng and others to join.
As a result, under Sammo Hung's careful planning and organization, a new team with a deep foundation in martial arts came into being, which was later revered as the "Hung Family Class". In this way, Sammo Hung led his group of ambitious "Hung Family Class" to go through a lot of hardships in Hong Kong, the hot land of martial arts, and grew step by step into a leader in the action film industry.
Once, during the filming of the blockbuster "Rich Train", the Hong Kong blockbuster was almost completely shut down, because many stars were called to join the film's luxurious lineup.
The glorious footprints of the members of the Hong family class
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. When we look back on the glorious history of the members of the Hung Family Class, we can't help but feel sincere admiration for their outstanding achievements.
It is these people who have used their life's hard work and sweat to create the most dazzling chapter in the history of Chinese martial arts films.
Looking back on the past, Di Wei in the past can be described as a reckless "tiger". This tough guy who came out of the barracks, once served as a national arts instructor in the army and navy, his skills are extraordinary, and he has left a deep imprint on both large and small screens.
He frequently plays ruthless and evil characters, with a hideous and terrifying face, and his quick and accurate shots are jaw-dropping. Although with the decline of kung fu films, Dewey's performance space has gradually narrowed, but his decades of hard work in the film industry have already won the deep admiration of the majority of fans.
Now Di Wei has entered his old age, and his silver hair covers most of his face. When we witness this "tiger" who once swept many opponents, now faltering and exhausted, we can't help but feel endless emotion in our hearts.
Time will eventually wear out the hero's demeanor, and the heroic figure of the past can only be hidden in the depths of people's memory.
In the twilight years with Di Wei, there is also a martial arts master Douwu Ma. This senior who studied under Zhang Che has profound skills, and the image of Yan Chixia created in "A Chinese Ghost Story" still makes countless audiences unforgettable.
His uninhibited and uninhibited temperament has become a classic symbol of Hong Kong martial arts films.
What is even more unforgettable is the wonderful duet between Wu Ma and the late martial arts master Lin Zhengying in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" "A Laugh in the Sea". The two actors perfectly showed the artistic conception of Jin Yong's martial arts world in the play, and the sentence "Laughing in the sea, surging tides on both sides of the strait, ups and downs with the waves" made countless fans fall for it, immersed in it, and difficult to extricate themselves.
However, it is a pity that Wu Ma and Lin Zhengying have now passed away, and this classic song that has been sung through the ages, only the melodious melody reverberates in the world. Thinking of Lin Zhengying, the "generation of zombie Taoist" back then, he is the most dazzling star of the Hong family class.
The image he created in "Mr. Zombie" is almost synonymous with Hong Kong zombie films. In fact, this film did not initially feature Lin Zhengying as the protagonist, but because of his outstanding performance, he finally won the audience's enthusiastic pursuit and established his lofty status as a "Taoist".
However, the wheel of fortune has always been so unpredictable. In 1997, Lin Zhengying, who had already made a name for himself in the film industry, died suddenly, leaving countless fans sad and sad.
What's even more embarrassing is that on the same day four years after his death, Xu Guanying, another leading actor in the film, also passed away.
Sammo Hung leads the way
Talking about how the "Hung Family Class" can finally rise to become the leader of the Hong Kong martial arts film industry, the biggest hero behind it is undoubtedly the head of Sammo Hung.
The starting point of the story goes back decades. At that time, the sudden death of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee brought a heavy blow and endless loss to the entire film industry. The martial arts industry instantly fell into the dilemma of talent fault, and the Hong Kong film industry also entered a trough, and the future was bleak.
At this critical juncture, the young and promising Sammo Hung showed extraordinary insight and vision. He knows that martial arts films will rise again in Hong Kong, and this vacancy urgently needs someone to step up and move forward.
So, Sammo Hung was full of ambition and did not hesitate, vowing to write his own martial arts legend on this hot land.
Fortunately, Sammo Hung was fortunate to get acquainted with senior Han Yingjie. This experienced martial artist, with a unique vision, discovered Sammo Hung's outstanding talent and unlimited potential, so he happily accepted him as an apprentice, and taught him many martial arts tips and valuable experience.
Under Han Yingjie's careful guidance and guidance, Sammo Hung has matured day by day and gradually has the strength to form his own team. He personally selected a group of young disciples with a solid foundation, such as members of the "Seven Little Blessings", and also absorbed some outstanding talents in the Lin family class, such as Chen Huiyi, Lin Zhengying, Qian Yuesheng and others to join the camp.
In this way, with Sammo Hung carefully planning and going all out, a new force with a deep martial arts foundation gradually took shape, and was respectfully called the "Hong Family Class".
Since then, under the leadership of the leader, the Hung Family Class has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and has grown rapidly, becoming an important and emerging martial arts genre in the Hong Kong film industry. Sammo Hung has also shown their talents in their respective fields, injecting a steady stream of new vitality into the film industry.
As a grandmaster, Sammo Hung did not lose half of his apprentices' rigorous training because of his age, but became more tenacious. He knows the way to think of the source of drinking water, and after becoming famous, he still does not forget to give back to the society, and always regards the reputation and achievements of the people as an important embodiment of his own value.
After several years of ups and downs, Mr. Hung is now entering his old age, and the years have inexorably left deep marks on him, and his steps have begun to falter, sometimes even with the help of a wheelchair to walk.
When we witness his current situation with a heroic appearance, we can't help but feel endless emotion in our hearts.
The image of the hero who once had Top Gun and was full of pride may only be the silhouette in his memory.
The rise of rising stars
Under the careful tutelage of Sammo Hung, a skilled martial arts master, the disciples of the Hung family class shine like bright stars, some of them have become a generation of grandmasters, and some are outstanding martial arts instructors.
Among them, the most well-known is undoubtedly the "Seven Little Blessings" team composed of seven young heroes. Among them, Yuan Kui is one of them, he and Mr. Sammo Hung have experienced countless hardships together, and can be called the veteran of the Hong family class.
Despite his unpretentious appearance and low-key behavior, Yuan Kui's martial arts skills are incomparably superb, and he has directed many popular action films, and his action design has won many awards, and he is known as the "second Chinese martial artist".
Yuan Biao, the senior brother who is in the same door as Yuan Kui, is more vigorous and flexible. His martial arts are unique in the world, and many difficult movements are difficult to perform in the hands of others, but Yuan Biao can control them with ease.
Therefore, on the screen, Yuan Biao's figure always brings shocking visual enjoyment to the audience.
However, this former screen darling finally chose to leave the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, live in seclusion on a quiet island, and live a plain and happy family life. At the age of 26, Yuan Biao married film and television actress Peng Xiuxia as his wife, and the joy of his daughter's birth made him determined to temporarily let go of the prosperous world and accompany his family wholeheartedly.
Today's Yuan Biao has entered middle age, although his figure is slightly plump, but his love for martial arts is still the same. Whenever he was invited to appear in a web series or movie, he would always gladly agree, showing his persistent pursuit of martial arts.
Qian Jiale, who is also a member of the "Seven Little Blessings", can be called the "stand-in king" in Sammo Hung's movies! Many difficult and dangerous action plots in martial arts performances are personally played by him.
At the age of 17, he became a member of the Hung family class and became the youngest and most promising martial arts actor in the school.
At the age of nineteen, in the well-known comedy masterpiece "Food Truck", he successfully completed the thrilling stand-in task of falling from a high-altitude arcade to the ground for Yuan Biao. Although the pain was unbearable in the process, the thunderous applause of the audience deeply touched Qian Jiale and strengthened his belief in devoting himself to martial arts.
Since then, Qian Jiale has been like a stunt master walking on the "edge of life and death", in order to present a wonderful action scene, he has been in and out of the hospital several times, leaving countless scars on his body.
It is this perseverance and hard-working spirit that finally won Sammo Hung favor. In the 1988 classic film "Uncle Zombie", Qian Jiale was awarded the leading role for the first time, thus starting his brilliant screen career.
Today, although the years have carved traces on Qian Jiale's face, he is still active in the film and television industry, sometimes making cameo appearances, sometimes serving as a behind-the-scenes director. For this old-timer who once wrote a martial arts legend with his life, the majority of fans are full of admiration for him.
