There is "Seven Little Blessings" in the film world, many audiences have heard of it and are very familiar with this name, but he is not a name, it is both a Peking Opera and a drama class. Hong Kong Seven Little Fu is the general name of the seven protégés who were admitted by the Peking Opera Mingwu Sheng when he opened the Chinese Drama Studies Institute in Hong Kong in the 1960s.
Seven Xiaofu is derived from Yu Zhanyuan in a Peking Opera performance, and later because the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan used this to form the Seven Xiaofu Opera Class, which refers to Yu Zhanyuan's seven proud protégés! Many friends think that "Seven Little Blessings" refers to seven people such as Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan, but in fact there are more than seven, who are they?

Jackie Chan's stage name was changed from "Yuan Lou" to "Jackie Chan". Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao are also the two best mixed among many division brothers. From an ordinary martial artist, Jackie Chan has gradually grown into an international superstar, and his action movies are kung fu superstars with international influence and the spokesperson for Chinese kung fu movies!
3. Yuan Biao

His movements are dashing and ethereal, the action sensitivity is actually not lost to Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, as a first-line movie star in Hong Kong, is not inferior to Jackie Chan, but his fame is not as influential as Jackie Chan!
4. YuanKui

His action design is flowing and fast, reflecting the essence of Chinese martial arts, and in his independent action film "Ma Yongzhen", Jin Chengwu's fierce and fierce skills left a deep impression on the audience.
5. Yuanhua
Yuan Hua, born in Hong Kong on September 2, 1952, is a Hong Kong film and television actor who teaches Peking Opera performance artist Yu Zhanyuan.
Initially, in 1972, because of his similar size to Bruce Lee, Yuanhua starred as Bruce Lee's stand-in for the first film "Jingwumen".

In fact, Yuanhua shot many movies in the early days, but most of them played villains, and the villain roles he played were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Yuanhua's most impressive role is the chartered public in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" movie.
6. Yuande
Yuan De, Hong Kong director, action director, actor, formerly known as Kong Xiangde, is the seventy-fifth grandson of Confucius.
Yuan De has been in the film for more than 20 years and has participated in the performance of many films and martial arts instruction. 1962: Joined the Beipai Drama Class of the Hong Kong Chinese Theatre Academy founded by Master Zhan Yuan, and formed the "Seven Little Blessings" tour with Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Bin, etc. To talk about the appearance of Yuande is the most photogenic of the Seven Little Blessings, may not be accepted by everyone due to reasons such as stature or temperament, and entered the Yuanjia class (Yuan Biao, Yuanhua, Yuande) to return to the old business in martial arts, which was recognized by everyone. Yuande mainly focused on behind-the-scenes martial arts work, and in the 90s he generally mixed with YuanKui, and many action directors in many films had his name.
7. Yuanbin
Yuan Bin, born in 1954, originally from Shanghai, is a Hong Kong martial arts instructor and director.
In 1962, the eight-year-old Yuan Bin was sent to the Chinese Opera School founded by Zhan Yuan, and became a brother with Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others, who had a common name "Seven Little Blessings". Yuan Bin was often a martial arts instructor because he rarely appeared, and in the 1980s, when other division brothers began to lead the way, Yuan Bin was even more obscure and did not see any achievements. He also rarely cooperated with Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and other brothers, but instead fell under another famous martial arts instructor, Cheng Xiaodong, and many directors of films invited Yuan Bin to serve as a martial arts instructor. In 1992, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Martial Arts Design with "New Dragon Gate Inn", in 2012 he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Design with "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and in 2015, he won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Horse Award for "One Man's Martial Arts" and "Wise Tiger Mountain".
In fact, the Seven Xiaofu are not 7 people, but 14 people, in addition to the seven just mentioned above, there are: Yuan Qiu, Yuan Qing, Yuan Jun, Yuan Tai, Yuan Wu, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Bao. Only with the passage of time, looking back at this group of division brothers now, Yuanjun, Yuantai, and Yuanwu disappeared in the early 1980s; Yuanzhen and Yuanbao were only mixed in the film world and obscurity; and Yuanlong (Hong Jinbao), Yuanlou (Jackie Chan), Yuanbiao, Yuankui, Yuanhua, Yuande, and Yuanbin became the most prominent figures in today's Xiangjiang film industry, so the "Seven Little Blessings" in the eyes of the public are naturally specific to the seven of them.
It's just that some of them are not as famous as the seven mentioned above, and some of them seem to be obscure, and some of them disappeared in the 80s!
