Nowadays, the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe are popular, and the concept of "Film and Television Universe" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
What is a "film and television universe" is that multiple movies or TV series share the same world background, details, characters, environments or plots, in other words, it is like multiple stories developing within the same framework.
Nowadays, domestic film and television have also pulled up the war of the "film and television universe", but as everyone knows, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, there was a character, through the outline of multiple film and television series works, forming a flesh-and-blood character image, with his one character derived a whole "kung fu film universe".
This person is the famous Huang Feihong.

July 9 is the day of his birthday.
Here we need to interject, and there have been many opinions about the specific date of Huang Feihong's birth and death. Some believe he was born in 1847, and others believe he was born in 1856. According to online information, Huang Feihong was born on July 9, 1856, and the media previously reported that Huang Feihong's hometown of Foshan, Guangdong, was also calculated as his birthday in 1856.
Huang Feihong, exquisite in martial arts, full of vigor and awe-inspiring justice, he is a chivalrous warrior in the background of the late Qing Dynasty, and he has witnessed the fate of his home country, and is an image of a warrior who stands tall in the sky and strives for self-improvement.
These are the portrayals of him in the Huang Feihong series of movies, and it is these film and television works that constitute the overall impression of Huang Feihong by the public. According to incomplete statistics, Huang Feihong's series of film and television works has exceeded 100 so far.
In 2018, there were also two Huang Feihong movies starring Zhao Wenzhuo, one was "Huang Feihong's Heroes of the North and South" and the other was "Huang Feihong's Anger at the Sea".
Therefore, compared with the "Wong Fei Hung Cinematic Universe", Marvel DC can only bow to the wind.
Why, Huang Feihong has hundreds of films, so many film and television works, and still continue to create.
First of all, it was the actor Guan Dexing who laid a good audience foundation in the early years.
In the early "Huang Feihong" film and television series, Guan Dexing created a very classic Huang Feihong screen image.
Guan Dexing, born in 1905, died in 1999. In the legendary life course of 94 years, Guan Dexing has been engaged in film and television performance for more than 60 years, starring in more than 130 films, including more than 80 "Huang Feihong" series of film and television works.
Beginning in 1946, he created "The Biography of Huang Feihong" and adapted it into the "Huang Feihong" film series, and in 1949, the first set of "Huang Feihong Biography" began filming.
He is also the first actor to play Huang Feihong in film and television works, and Huang Feihong, played by Guan Dexing, mostly tells the story of Huang Feihong's encounter with injustice and drawing a knife to help each other.
Many people regard his Huang Feihong as a classic, but unfortunately, there are not many young people who know his old man's home today.
Second, director Xu Ke joined hands with Jet Li and Zhao Wenzhuo to further promote and carry forward the "Huang Feihong" film and television series.

Nowadays, the most widely circulated and well-known Huang Feihong film and television works are director Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong" series.
Unlike others, director Xu Ke's version of "Huang Feihong" almost greatly changed the original life trajectory of the characters, he involved Huang Feihong in the torrent of the times, with the help of the turbulent years of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, Huang Feihong was placed in the context of the change of the times.
In Xu Ke's first "Huang Feihong", foreigners kidnap a large number of Chinese women on foreign ships, and Huang Feihong (Jet Li) confronts foreigners and their minions to protect Chinese women and protect the security of the country.
In "Huang Feihong No. 2: Boys Should Strengthen Themselves", Huang Feihong (played by Jet Li) and Sun Wen (played by Zhang Tielin) see each other at first sight and help them escape the disaster.
In "Huang Feihong No. 3: Lion King Battle", foreign enemies are about to invade and abuse, but Li Hongzhang wants to preside over the "Lion King Battle" competition, which can be called a stage for cannibalism, and in desperation, Huang Feihong (played by Jet Li) personally came on the scene and called on all factions to fight the enemy together.
After winning the gold medal, he told Lord Li: "In the view of the small people, we not only practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies and resist foreign enemies, but more importantly, we open up the way of speech and unify the rule of force, that is the way to make the country rich and the people strong... I will give you this gold medal as a souvenir! ”
In the works of director Xu Ke, the original image of the character of "Huang Feihong" was directly subverted and reborn!
Huang Feihong, who originally acted heroically and righteously and held unevenness, became a patriotic national hero who put the fate of the country first and shouldered morality on his iron shoulders.
Note: Xu Ke's film studio has a total of seven "Huang Feihong" series of film and television drama copyrights, namely:
"Huang Feihong's Ambition", "Huang Feihong's Second Boy Should Be Self-Reliant", "Huang Feihong's Three Lions Battle" (the first three are directed by Xu Ke and starring Jet Li)

In addition, there is a "Young Huang Feihong's Iron Horse" (directed by Yuan Heping and starring Zhen Zidan, mainly telling the story of Huang Feihong's father Huang Qiying)
(Jet Li, who was injured and still insisted on shooting)
It can be said that the character image of "Huang Feihong" began to become a "regular" in film and television dramas 70 years ago, and its existence has also witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong kung fu movies.
The character of "Huang Feihong" has walked on the screen so often, which carries the chivalrous heart and patriotic feelings of the nation.
In 2014, Peng Yuyan also starred in "Huang Feihong's Hero Has a Dream", playing Huang Feihong.
The real Huang Feihong, born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, his father is one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong", Huang Qiying, when he was three years old, he learned martial arts with his father, and at the age of six or seven, he could travel with his father.
At the age of sixteen, Huang Feihong opened a martial arts hall and became a martial artist, and then became famous for a while, playing an important role in the popularization of Hong Quan, and there was no shortage of outstanding disciples under his disciples.
When Huang Feihong died, because his family was surrounded by disciples, he could not bury him, his female disciple Deng Xiuqiong funded and was buried in the foothills of Baiyun Mountain, and his wife Mo Guilan and his two sons also moved to Hong Kong with the help of Deng Xiuqiong, Lin Shirong (Huang Feihong's disciple) and others, opened a museum to teach apprenticeship, and continued to teach Huang Feihong's kung fu.
Speaking of this, it also leads to the third point of So many Huang Feihong film and television works, an important person: Lin Shirong.
Lin Shirong was one of Huang Feihong's disciples, who taught more than 10,000 disciples in his lifetime, and also published boxing notations such as "Izi Fuhu Fist", "Tiger Crane Double Shape Fist", "Iron Wire Fist" and so on. Among his disciples, he and several made important contributions to Huang Feihong's film and television.
(Hong Jinbao once played Lin Shirong in the movie)
Zhu Yuzhai, one of Lin Shirong's disciples, compiled the Biography of Huang Feihong after Huang Feihong's death, which was serialized in newspapers from 1933 onwards. Although there are many fictions in the story, it introduces the legendary experience of Huang Feihong in detail, and introduces the deeds of Huang Qiying, huang's father, Master Lin Fucheng, apprentices Liang Kuan, Lin Shirong, and many martial arts masters.
Later, Zhu Yuzhai again collected deeds about Huang Feihong and wrote them as "Huang Feihong's Jianghu Beiji" (also known as "Huang Feihong's True Record of His Feet"). This time had a great impact, influencing a group of novelists to publish novels based on Huang Feihong, which was also welcomed by a large number of readers.
This is one of them.
The second is that Lin Shirong studied under Wong Fei Hung for more than 20 years and has been developing in Hong Kong in the later period.
In addition to Zhu Yuzhai, Lin Shirong's disciple also had another disciple named Liu Zhan, who was Huang Feihong's disciple and grandson, and also made great contributions to Huang Feihong's film and television.
Liu Zhan, a famous action film director, often plays his master Lin Shirong in the film, and he has also trained many martial arts instructors including his sons Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiarong...
Among them, Liu Jialiang especially contributed to the golden age of Hong Kong kung fu films, and in 1953, his first film was "Huang Feihong", which also carried forward this "IP".
The film martial arts, represented by Liu Jialiang, has also become Huang Feihong's "own person" in the Hong Kong film and television circle.
He collaborated with Jet Li on the film "North and South Shaolin", and with Jackie Chan on the film "Drunken Fist II", and was the first Chinese martial artist to go to Hollywood in the United States, serving as an action director for the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
In 2010, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 29th Hong Kong Film Awards and died of illness in 2013.
Among them, in 1994's "Drunken Fist II.", Jackie Chan played Huang Feihong, Dillon played Huang Qiying, Huang Qiying, huang's father, and Liu Jialiang played the martial arts master Fu Minqi, staging a story of national hero Huang Feihong's life-and-death struggle with foreign predators to protect China's ancient heritage, which has also become a classic.

It was Liu Jialiang, the son of his grandson, and Jackie Chan who joined forces to make this Huang Feihong kung fu film that opened the eyes and admired foreigners.
With novels and stories as the guide, and the son of an apprentice who has become a top martial arts instructor in the film and television industry, how can the film and television adaptation of "Huang Feihong" not be rich?
Thanks to them, let a generation of patriotic martial arts master Huang Feihong influence the world through such a colorful film and television work.
