Xia Lingzhen (Yuan Biao)
Yuan Biao (formerly known as Xia Lingzhen), born on July 26, 1957 in Kowloon, Hong Kong, because his father liked to listen to opera, under the influence of his father, Yuan Biao in his early years worshiped the Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuanmen, was named Yuan Biao, and became the fifth brother among the seven little blessings.

There are a total of 14 members of the "Seven Little Blessings" drama class, in addition to the above 7 people, there are also Yuan Qiu (the only female member), Yuan Qing (that is, Yuan Heping), Yuan De, Yuan Jun (later renamed Wu Yuanjun), Yuan Bin, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Bao and so on.
When learning art, Yuan Biao was as light as a swallow, and he could turn over more than twenty heels in one breath, and was called the King of Heel Dou by other division brothers.
In the days of the theater, Yuan Biao's relationship with Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao was quite friendly, because the time to learn the drama was too boring, Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao often sneaked out to play, and when the master Yu Zhanyuan came to check the room, Yuan Biao often helped the two brothers to cover up.
In 1971, due to the large loss of opera audiences and forced to make a living, Yu Zhanyuan could only disband the Chinese Theater Research Academy and take his apprentices to go abroad, where Yuan Biao was favored by Bruce Lee because of his own skills, and had the honor of starring Bruce Lee in the movies "Jingwumen" and "Dragon Fight tiger fight".
Later, Due to an accidental injury, Hong Jinbao's body could not help but become obese, and he felt powerless in acting in Peking Opera, he quit the "Seven Little Blessings" and began to enter the film and television circle, but he did not expect this breakthrough to open another life for him.
Bruce lee
On July 20, 1973, Bruce Lee died in Hong Kong at the age of 33 while filming the movie "Game of Death", and the Hong Kong film industry was faced with the phenomenon of no successor to kung fu movies.
Jackie Chan, who was still abroad at the time, felt the opportunity coming, and he immediately called back Yuan Biao, who was still working in the American supermarket, so the 16-year-old Yuan Biao followed his brother back to Hong Kong, and the two decided to do something.
Jackie Chan, who just came to the Hong Kong film market, suffered a lot of losses, was deceived, was beaten, and there was no remuneration for starring in movies, and Yuan Biao at that time has always been with him and is inseparable from him.
"Laughing Fist Strange Moves"
In that era of needing stunts, they made a stunt performance of jumping off the building to earn 100 yuan, but also two people to share, after a hard time, in 1976, Jackie Chan, who was still a newcomer, signed a contract with The Hong Kong film industry tycoon Luo Wei, gave 3,000 yuan a month a fixed monthly salary, and after filming a movie, he gave 3,000 yuan of remuneration, and Jackie Chan finally made his famous work "Laughing Fist Strange Moves".
Although Yuan Biao has always followed Jackie Chan, he did not envy the success of his brother, but steadily fought steadily, with the help of master brother Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao successfully became a martial arts instructor on the film set, and made some small cameo roles in the movie.
"Miscellaneous Kid"
At that time, Hong Jinbao was transforming into a film director, and Yuan Biao also successively starred in a number of martial arts movies, slowly gaining some fame, so one day, Hong Jinbao found Yuan Biao, he was determined to make a movie himself, hoping that Yuan Biao could be the male lead, just like this, this film directed by Hong Jinbao, the movie "Miscellaneous Family Boy" starring Yuan Biao as the male lead was released.
Once "Miscellaneous Family Kid" was released, the box office reputation was double-harvested, and Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao also officially launched their names.
At this time, Jackie Chan also slowly played the male protagonist in many movies, began to have fame, the three brothers got together once, consulted with each other, decided that the three of them worked together to jointly launch the movie,
In the days that followed, they launched a number of blockbuster movies such as "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" and "Fast Food Truck", which caused a sensation in Hong Kong, when Hong Kong films swept the world and their films also entered the Japanese market. During this period, the three of them were also known as the "Three Treasures of Jiahe".
Yuan Biao
Finally when Yuan Biao was 26 years old, a movie starring him "Bo Niu" was screened, this movie directly made his fame popular abroad, it turned out that his brother Jackie Chan also talked about Yuan Biao in the variety show, he said that no matter how many difficult actions he designed for Yuan Biao, Yuan Biao could complete it, and did not use a stand-in, and people in the circle called Yuan Biao "the king of stand-ins".
In the 80s, Yuan Biao, who was already very popular, would not know that a wrong decision of his after that would ruin his superstar path.
Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao
Although the cooperation between Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao in the movie is very good, but in order to better develop, the three brothers still have to be separated, so Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan have left the company one after another and started their own film road. Only Yuan Biao remained in Jiahe Company.
Perhaps seeing the success of his two brothers, Yuan Biao also moved the idea of leaving.
Law Enforcement Pioneers
In 1986, Yuan Biao and Yuan Kui cooperated in the movie "Law Enforcement Pioneer", after the film was broadcast, the box office was good, and Yuan Biao, who was overwhelmed by joy, thought that he had the confidence and began to negotiate with his own company Jiahe, which made the boss of Jiahe very angry, the company is what you want to come, you want to leave.
Yuan Biao has been smooth sailing all the way, compared to the two brothers who have been working the set, he is still too young, his popularity is not as high as the two brothers, and he does not have the decision to stand on his own.
This negotiation ended with the displeasure of Yuan Biao and Jiahe Company, and at that time there were rumors that Yuan Biao could not appear in Jackie Chan's movies in the future, although I did not know that this matter was true and false, but in the subsequent Jackie Chan movies, I never saw Yuan Biao's figure again.
After that, Yuan Biao also made several movies one after another, perhaps without resources, several movies also responded to a mediocre response, and before long, Yuan Biao was determined to focus on the family, settled in Canada with his wife and children, and lived a semi-retired life.
Although the 46-year-old Yuan Biao announced that he would continue filming in the mountains, it was inevitable that he would eventually fall into the fate of supporting roles, but no matter what happened now, we must thank him and Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao for bringing us wonderful performances.
