Tan Daoliang, a generation of leg kings: Jackie Chan Hong Jinbao gave him a supporting role and refused to play the fire cloud evil god in "Kung Fu"
Today's introduction to you is Tan Daoliang, a star who played his own piece of the Sky in the Hong Kong film industry in the last century with "leg gong"
Speaking of this name, everyone is still relatively unfamiliar
But if the name is definitely not unfamiliar to old movie fans over 40 years old
Born in 1947, Tan Daoliang is a Korean overseas Chinese who grew up in South Korea since childhood
He began to learn taekwondo at the age of 7 and won the taekwondo championship three times in three years from the age of 20 to 22
At a young age, he had such an honor in the martial arts world
The strength of Tan Daoliang's martial arts can be seen
When Chiang Ching-kuo visited South Korea, he knew that a Chinese person actually had such a martial art, so he invited Tan Daoliang to perform taekwondo
After a superb martial arts performance, Chiang Ching-kuo admired him very much
After returning to Taiwan, he invited Tan Daoliang to come to Taiwan for development
So the 23-year-old Tan Daoliang went to Taiwan and founded the "Republic of China Taekwondo Committee" in 1970.
Start teaching martial arts as a martial arts instructor,
In the following years, it became popular because of Bruce Lee kung fu films
Suddenly, the demand for kung fu films is high
At this time, the supply of actors with martial arts skills is in short supply
Wang Xinglei, the director of "Chaozhou Nu Han", has been struggling to find a suitable male protagonist
In the end, the eyes were locked on Tan Daoliang, the coach of the Taiwan National Army at that time
At that time, Tan Daoliang had a generous salary and treatment, and he served in the army
In such a situation, why should Tan Daoliang make a movie?
It was Wang Xinglei's sincerity that impressed him
He went to shoot a movie with the mentality of trying it out
At that time, there was also an episode in the movie, and the original heroine Zhen Zhen knew that she was working with an unknown newcomer
The red flower Dan expressed his dissatisfaction with the crew
Between the heroine Zhen Zhen and the male protagonist Tan Daoliang
The director selected Tan Daoliang, replaced Zhen Zhen, and let Lin Fengjiao as the heroine
As a result, the movie starring him and Lin Fengjiao was eye-catching at the box office
It grossed HK$2.97 million, when Bruce Lee's "Big Brother Tangshan" grossed 3.5 million
In the face of Bruce Lee, he can still achieve such excellent box office results
The lead actor Tan Daoliang is indispensable, and he himself has become popular overnight
He also began to eat the bowl of rice of martial arts actors
Tan Daoliang, who debuted popular, has a steady stream of film contracts, and he starred in movies such as "The King of The North and South Legs" and "The King of Shaolin"
It's still a kung fu movie classic
It is worth mentioning that in the movie "Shaolin Gate", Jackie Chan, who was still a dragon and tiger martial artist at that time, became Tan Daoliang's martial arts stand-in
The 70s were bruce Lee's era, but Tan Daoliang was not overshadowed by Bruce Lee's brilliance
With many film appointments, he was the busiest year, catching 8 crews a day, and even did not sleep well for 27 days a month
As we all know, the gap between kung fu in kung fu films and kung fu used in actual combat is still very large
Every martial arts star will have their own signboard, such as Bruce Lee's double stick
Tan Daoliang's most amazing thing is that he can completely move his right foot
Continuous attacks on opponents with the left foot, the balance and coordination of the body is very high
Tan Daoliang's legs are very ornamental and aesthetic
He kicked, straight and high, forming an upright horse
Such an action makes people's blood boil!
Tan Daoliang's most classic kung fu films are "Tantric Sacred Hand" and "Southern Fist and Northern Leg Living Yama King"
In the "Tantric Sacred Hand", there is also the Hong Jinbao Yuan biao yuan yuan yuan hua of the seven small blessings
It's just that it was still an obscure "dragon set"
Just set off tan Daoliang's most green leaves
Who would have thought that Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao, who are now famous in the film industry, still gave Tan Daoliang a dragon set
"Southern Fist and Northern Leg Living Yama King" is Tan Daoliang's pinnacle work
Tan Daoliang, who is good at leg techniques, and Wang Dao, who is good at boxing, present us with a visual feast
The two-person fight is a classic, the leg technique of continuous attack and the indomitable punching technique are drawn into the flesh in this fist and leg clash
It's dazzling to watch, and the blood veins are gushing straight out
In 1982, Tan Daoliang chose to quit the film world after filming the film "Last Breath" with Qin Han
By this time, he had already made nearly 40 kung fu movies, and the name of a generation of leg kings was also well known
After quitting the film industry, Tan Daoliang went to Los Angeles, USA, to open a taekwondo martial arts gym, and was widely discipled
Bruce Lee's daughter Li Xiangning also studied martial arts with him
It is rumored that bruce Lee decided to let his daughter learn the leg method with Tan Daoliang before he died
It can be seen that Tan Daoliang's leg skills have been recognized by Bruce Lee
Li Xiang saw Tan Daoliang and had to call Master
Pass on this martial art to others and do your part to promote martial arts
Man is not in the jianghu, the jianghu and his legend
It is rumored that when Zhou Xingchi filmed "Kung Fu", he originally set the final big BOSS "Fire Cloud Evil God"
It was to let Tan Daoliang play, but Tan Daoliang refused on the grounds that he was physically injured
This surprised Zhou Xingchi
Some people think that Tan Daoliang feels that the image of the "fire cloud evil god" in the movie is detrimental to traditional kung fu and refuses
Some people think that Tan Daoliang is because he has starred in a hero for a lifetime, and he is asked to star in the villain after many years
He couldn't accept it all before he refused
Therefore, Zhou Xingchi found Liang Xiaolong, and he had the classic image of the "Fire Cloud Evil God" on the silver screen
For Tan Daoliang himself, the popularity of that year was an accident, and he chose to quit in 1982
Then naturally he would not care about such a thing as turning red, otherwise he was popular at that time
No matter how bad it is, it is like Liu Jiahui, the protagonist can also support the role and villain
Acting for more than ten years is not a problem, his departure is more of a desire to be here
But the brilliance of the kung fu films of that era also had his share of credit
