[Before Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple", there was an all-star "Shaolin Temple", gathering Zhang Che's 18 disciples]
Among the world's kung fu superstars, Jet Li's fame trajectory can not be copied the most, because his first movie "Shaolin Temple" became the male protagonist, and became popular all over the world, and his real debut is the peak.
Also because of the super influence of Jet Li and this "Shaolin Temple", many people will think of him when they mention the Shaolin Temple, thus ignoring countless Film and television works with the theme of the Shaolin Temple.
Jet Li's version of "Shaolin Temple" was released in 1982, when all the protagonists, including Jet Li, were selected by martial arts sports teams across the country, and they were all newcomers.
In 1976, there was an all-star "Shaolin Temple" produced by Shaw in Hong Kong.
Directed by Zhang Che, this "Shaolin Temple" tells the story of Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan and other righteous soldiers of the Five Ancestors of Shaolin who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty, and learned martial arts against the Qing court at the Shaolin Temple.
The selling points of "Shaolin Temple" are martial arts directors Zhang Che and Wu Ma, written by Ni Kuang, Fu Sheng, Qi Guanjun, Dillon, Jiang David, Guo Chai, Wang Longwei, Jiang Sheng, Yue Hua, Liu Yong, Wang Zhong, Wei Hong, Wei Bai, Li Yimin, Shi Si, Tang Yancan, Lu Feng, Wang Qing, Shan Mao, Gu Feng, Cai Hong, Luo Mang, Lin Huihui, Ye Tianxing, Lu Jianming, Sun Shupei, etc., more than 20 action stars of Shao's films of that year.
"Shaolin Temple" was released in Hong Kong on December 22, 1976, and it grossed HK$1.22 million, ranking 15th in the year.
That year, there were also films with the theme of Shaolin Temple, such as "North Shaolin", "Shaolin Gate", "Shaolin Wooden Man Alley", etc., and even "Shaolin Temple" also contained elements such as "Tiger Crane Double Shape", "Fang Shiyu and Hu Huiqian", "Southern Fist and North Leg", "Wing Chun Big Brother" and so on.
At the box office, "Shaolin Temple" is the best, at least higher than several other Shaolin Temple-themed films; but there is still a huge gap with the 8.5 million box office ratio of Xu Guanwen's champion work "Half a Pound, Eight Two".
Obviously, compared with "Half a Pound, Eight Twos", "Shaolin Temple" loses in the theme. In 1971, after Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to star in the kung fu film "Big Brother Tangshan", kung fu films became popular, and old-school martial arts films have gradually lost the market.
Moreover, in 1974, there was also a "Shaolin Five Ancestors", which was still the same theme, and Dillon and Jiang David continued to play the same role.
After Bruce Lee's death, Hui Guanwen of Jiahe Films became the new hegemon of the Hong Kong film industry with the city comedy film "Ghost Horse Double Star".
At this time, Zhang Che, the first of the four directors of Shaw Films, as a generation of martial arts film masters, could not make that kind of ghost comedy movie, and could only dig deep in the field of martial arts films that he was good at.
So, in this "Shaolin Temple", Zhang Che continued to work with his old partner Ni Kuang, bringing with him 18 of his own disciples, as well as a number of famous actors from Shaw Film Company.
Zhang Che has been in the shadows for more than 40 years, and his disciples are divided into 6 generations according to the time of their debut, totaling more than 50 people, of which the most beloved ones are also adopted as dry sons, such as Fu Sheng.
First generation disciples: Wang Yu, Wu Ma, Gu Feng, Luo Lie, Zheng Lei, etc.
Second-generation disciples: Dillon, Jiang David, Wu Yusen, Chen Guantai, Wang Zhong, Chen Xing, Zheng Kangye, etc.
Third generation disciples: Fu Sheng, Qi Guanjun, Li Xiuxian, Liang Jiaren, Wang Longwei, etc.
Fourth generation disciples: Guo Chai, Lu Feng, Jiang Sheng, Luo Mang, Sun Jian, Lu Jianming, Wei Bai, Ye Tianxing, Li Yimin, Tang Yancan, Di Wei, etc.
Fifth generation disciples: Qian Xiaohao, Cheng Tianci, Long Tianxiang, Li Zhenbiao, etc.,
Sixth generation disciples: Dong Zhihua, Du Yuming, Xu Xiaojian, Mu Lixin, etc.
In "Shaolin Temple", NoonMa is a co-director, and Gu Feng plays the villain leader Man Gui Wangye, but the role is very small;
David Jiang played Emperor Hu De, Dillon played Cai Dezhong, Yue Hua played Li Shikai, Liu Yong played Ma Chaoxing, Wang Zhong played Fang Dahong, and Wang Longwei played Ma Fuyi, who were the remnants of Zheng Chenggong's soldiers and ran to the Shaolin Temple for refuge.
Before entering the temple, meet Yan Wing Chun, played by Shi Si, and then lead the way to the Shaolin Temple. [Master Yan Wing Chun is in retreat at the Shaolin Temple and is the founder of Wing Chun.] 】
Fu Sheng played Fang Shiyu, Qi Guanjun played Hu Huiqian, and Wei Hong played Hong Xiguan; these three went to the temple together, and after completing their studies, Fu Sheng and Qi Guanjun joined forces to fight the Shaolin Temple's Muren Alley. [Because Liu Jialiang is filming "Hong Xiguan", starring Chen Guantai, Wei Hong's role has been brushed over.] 】
Guo Chai plays Lin Guangyao, Tang Yancan plays Zhu Du, and Cai Hong plays Dechang, who are another group of lay disciples who worship the Shaolin Temple; Jiang Sheng plays full moon, a young monk of the Shaolin Temple; Shan Mao plays Hui Xian, a traitor of the Shaolin Temple, and Ma Fuyi, played by Wang Longwei, is co-opted by him as a traitor; Lu Feng plays Gushan Beizi, and Wang Qing plays Qingchun, who is the two masters of the Qing Army.
Luo Mang, Wei Bai, Lin Huihui, Ye Tianxing, etc. play Shaolin disciples, and Lu Jianming, Sun Shupei, Yu Taiping, etc. play the masters of the Qing soldiers, all of which are still just some symbolic dragon sets.
Finally, there was a series of battles of nearly half an hour, after which the Shaolin Temple was burned down, the Qing soldiers died 7788, and only 8 disciples of the Shaolin Temple escaped, including Hu Dedi, Cai Dezhong, Li Shikai, Ma Chaoxing, Fang Dahong, Fang Shiyu, Hu Huiqian, Hong Xiguan, that is, Jiang David, Dillon, Yue Hua, Liu Yong, Wang Zhong, Fu Sheng, Qi Guanjun, Wei Hong and other protagonists.
By 1976, the first generation of disciples had already become famous. Wang Yu first went to Jiahe, and then returned to Taiwan Province to develop; NoonMa has been helped to become a director, and Gu Feng has continued to play various roles as big boss villains.
The second generation of disciples are all popular, among which Wu Yusen also helped Jiahe shoot a Shaolin Temple-themed "Shaolin Gate", starring Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and other brothers;
After Chen Guantai left Shaw's, he opened his own company as the boss, and after working with Zhang Che for many years, Liu Jialiang, a martial arts instructor, was upgraded to a director, and he also set up another mountain after he made a similar theme "Hong Xiguan" in this year, which was starring Chen Guantai.
The most popular Gemini stars Dillon and Jiang David officially broke up in this year because of the relationship between the protagonists and supporting roles; Jiang David, who Chinese better and more clever, was more favored by Zhang Che, and Dillon switched to Chu Yuan's banner and became the royal male protagonist of his Ancient Dragon Martial Arts movie.
[Later, Dillon and Jiang David also cooperated with Master Zhang In "Naval Commando", "Shanghai Beach Thirteen Taibao" and "Righteous Courage", but they no longer had the brotherhood that fought side by side before "Shaolin Temple".] 】
Among the third generation of disciples, Fu Sheng and Qi Guanjun are the new generation of twin stars that Zhang Che has focused on creating; that year they also co-starred in a "Fang Shiyu and Hu Huiqian", which is the same as the characters in the two "Shaolin Temple".
Li Xiuxian had great respect for Zhang Che, but was not valued by Zhang Che, and did not work as a male lead under Zhang Che, but he had dramas in other crews; Liang Jiaren did not participate in "Shaolin Temple", and starred in Zhang Che's "Fang Shiyu and Hu Huiqian" and "Cai Li Buddha Boy" that year.
Among the fourth generation of disciples, Guo Chai, Lu Feng, Jiang Sheng, Luo Mang, Sun Jian, Wei Bai, Lu Jianming, etc., also began to invest in Zhang Che's men around 1976; among them, Guo Chai, who had a background in acrobatic skills, was early and could play the leading role in "Shaolin Temple", while Luo Mang and others were still just dragon sets.
The entire "Shaolin Temple" gathered 18 disciples of Zhang Che, Wu Ma, Gu Feng, Dillon, Jiang David, Wang Zhong, Fu Sheng, Qi Guanjun, Wang Longwei, Guo Chai, Lu Feng, Jiang Sheng, Luo Mang, Sun Jian, Lu Jianming, Wei Bai, Ye Tianxing, Li Yimin, Tang Yancan; plus Yue Hua, Liu Yong, Shi Si and other Famous Shao actors, the starlight was very brilliant.
Moreover, among these disciples, Dillon had learned Wing Chun, Jiang David had learned Hong Quan, Fu Sheng had learned Tiger Crane Double Form, Wang Longwei was a Karate black belt of Gang Rou, Wang Zhong and Guo Chai had all learned acrobatics, and Qi Guanjun and Lu Feng had also learned martial arts from an early age.
If this "Shaolin Temple" does not have a real protagonist because of the large number of stars, and can go to the mainland to shoot on the ground, then its box office and influence may not be worse than Jet Li's version.
At least, the actors of Zhang Che's version of "Shaolin Temple" have experience in performance and have a huge advantage in popularity.
