Preface to the first chapter: Time flies in a hurry, as if it was just yesterday, and what is left to the world is the legendary work - 1991's "King of Force"! I vaguely remember that the bloody and violent scenes in the movie made Hong Kong audiences feel uneasy, and it was also a part of the history of Hong Kong films.
However, in the mainland, because films of this genre could not be released in the 90s, many viewers could only enjoy the thrilling dismemberment scenes and disemboweling violence scenes in this shocking masterpiece film through informal channels, which undoubtedly became a lingering shadow of many people's childhood. Or has it been baptized by the long river of time, and no longer has the heroic appearance of the past? Let's look back on history and explore how this work, which once caused great repercussions in the film industry, had an impact on the leading actors of the year.
2. In-depth analysis of the life course of Fan Shaohuang, the corner of King Li
When mentioning "King Li", the first thing that comes to people's minds is the male protagonist King Li played by Fan Shaohuang. The child star, who began learning martial arts since he was a child, went through countless ups and downs, and finally went all out in this movie and achieved a major breakthrough in his acting career.
In "King of Force", Fan Shaohuang showed his excellent hard qigong to the fullest, giving a deep connotation to the role of King Li, he not only successfully performed the dismemberment of the enemy, The bloody scenes of the rampant killing, and even the scene of resolutely refusing to take out the five steel balls that were driven into the body, all left a deep impression on people With this film, Fan Shaohuang became famous in the film industry, however, he did not stop because of this, but actively participated in the film and television industry in the 90s, trying to shoot a number of martial arts TV series, and committed to creating the image of kung fu superstars However, unfortunately, the Hong Kong film industry at that time was already Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung and other kung fu masters are firmly occupied, and it is not easy for newcomers to emerge.
As soon as the name Fan Shaohao is mentioned, we will think of the image of the virtual bamboo he created in the TV series "Dragon Babu" adapted from the famous martial arts novel. However, it wasn't until 1997 that this image really made him stand out in the public eye.
Since then, he has immediately grasped this rare development opportunity and participated in the film "Liwang" series of films in a rowUnfortunately, despite seizing the opportunity, the response was still lackluster, however, this situation did not last long, because in 2008, he successfully created a villain role in the movie "Ip Man", thus opening a new chapter in his villain role.
Whether it is the villain Caron played in the sci-fi action blockbuster "Future Police", or the ruthless killer played in the costume martial arts masterpiece "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Fan Shaohao portrayed these villains vividly, leaving an extremely deep impression on the audience.
Now, although he has entered middle age, Fan Shaohao is still active on the screen, and his new film "Hunting" starring him in October 2023 has officially started filming, let us look forward to how the veteran actor will interpret the new role wonderfully! .
Next, we are going to talk about Ye Yunyi's life course. In the movie "King of Force", she played Yingying as "the best of the drama", her innocence, kindness and gentle temperament formed a strong contrast with the bloody and cruel atmosphere in the film.
However, who would have expected that this once known as the "cutest girl in the 90s" would have such a tortuous and bumpy road in life.
When she was 22 years old, it was the time when her career was in full swing. However, she made an incredible decision - she chose to marry Hong Kong toy giant Chen Bohao, thus completely bidding farewell to her acting career and living the life of a wealthy lady.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after marriage, she gave birth to a son, who originally thought that she could live a comfortable and wealthy life from now on, but fate played a huge joke on her.
Only a year later, her husband Chen Bohao began to cheat frequently, and Ye Yunyi was still pregnant at this time and could only take care of her young son alone. In the end, the two parted ways, but in the long divorce proceedings, Chen Bohao never paid alimony on time, which made Ye Yunyi once homeless and could only live in a rented house with her two children.
In order to maintain the family's livelihood, in 2004, Ye Yunyi had to devote herself to the film and television industry again. However, this time she was not warmly welcomed as before, but was maliciously slandered by her ex-husband, and the image of the jade girl was gone.
Frustrated, she had no choice but to leave her homeland and go to Guangdong, where she changed her name and became an ordinary real estate salesperson.
That time was undoubtedly the darkest moment in Ye Yunyi's life. She had to work hard and raise two children on her own, physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, thanks to the selfless assistance of her friend Zhang Min, she regained her confidence and courage in life.
In 2008, a year of special significance, Ms. Yip Yunyi appeared on the TV screen with her unique charm and talent, showing a new style - she has become an excellent host.
At that time, all kinds of difficulties and challenges in life seemed to have dissipated, and her life entered a new chapter.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, her two children have grown into young people, and Ms. Ye Yunyi has also entered the year of knowing the destiny of heaven. However, instead of feeling depressed or lost because of this, she faced life more positively, began to pay attention to maintenance and grooming, and showed a vibrant and confident beauty.
This legendary figure, who was known as the "most beautiful girl" in the past, her life experience is undoubtedly impressive. Fourth, the whereabouts of the four heavenly kings are geometric, and the heroes are getting old and difficult to reappear
In the movie "King of Force", in addition to the protagonist King Force, there are four "Heavenly Kings" with extraordinary strength who have left a deep impression on the audience. Their images are distinct and their personalities are prominent, and they can be called important contributors to the film's violent scenes.
However, it is a pity that these characters who were once dominant in the film industry have now lost their former style. Chen Zhiliang, who plays the role of Beicang Wang Ah Hai, was a former bodybuilder with a burly figure and amazing strength.
In the 90s, he often played villains or thugs, and many fans still remember his hideous image in "Zombie Lucky Star Boy" and "Mr. Developed".
However, as time went on, the number of Chen Zhiliang's works gradually decreased, and it is said that he had developed a balding condition and his appearance had changed dramatically. Today, he runs his own business in Malaysia.
Yugari Oshima, who played the king of Xichang Huangquan, his evil eyes and cold temperament are still unforgettable, however, now he no longer has the heroic demeanor of the past, and only looks exhausted.
After leaving Hong Kong, Yukari Oshima worked as a behind-the-scenes action director in Southeast Asia until 2010, when he made his film and television appearances again. Today, he has opened a martial arts gym in Japan and lives an ordinary and quiet life.
As for Koichi Sugisaki, who plays Taishan, the king of Dongcang, and Huang Guixiong, who is the white god of the king of Nancang, their whereabouts are even more mysterious, and they seem to have disappeared from the film industry without a trace.
Being able to show their skills in "King of Force" is already the pinnacle of their acting career. These four former "heavenly kings" are now in old age, and it has become extremely difficult to reproduce the glory of the past.
They interpreted this violent and bloody film with their lives, and they also left a faint trace of their name, although it has now become obscure.
