In 1970, Zou Wenhuai, the former Shao brothers, joined hands with He Guanchang and Cai Yongchang to establish Jiahe Film Company. At the beginning of its establishment, Jiahe imitated Shaw's business model, but it did not improve and faced financial difficulties. More because of the infringement accusation of "One-Armed Knife Vs Blind Man", the lawsuit is entangled. Subsequently, Jiahe signed the kung fu superstar Bruce Lee and filmed kung fu films such as "Big Brother Tangshan", "Jingwumen", "Dragon Fight and Tiger Fight", "Raptor Across the River" and so on, which repeatedly created box office miracles and pushed Bruce Lee to the world. Subsequently, Zou Wenhuai discovered the Xu brothers, "Ghost Horse Double Star", "Genius and Idiot", "Half a Pound Eight Two" and other Cantonese comedies were extremely popular. At the same time, it also absorbed Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and other action stars, making Jiahe prosperous. Among the production companies of the same period, Jiahe was the only film and television company that could compete with the overlord Shaw. (Mainly refers to the early and late period of the new art city gradually became stronger, forming a three-legged standing)
Jiahe has recruited independent companies such as Siwei, Xu's, Yongsheng, Weihe, Baohe and so on. As the parent company, Jiahe provides filming, investment screening, and the subsidiary provides film source for the parent company, which is to ensure the film source and have the market. Baohe is a subsidiary of Jiahe. In 1979, Hong Jinbao cooperated with Jiahe to establish Baohe Film Company, and the first to launch the supernatural kung fu comedy film "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", set off a wave of supernatural martial arts comedy in Hong Kong.
"Rich Train" This all-star assembly, lively comedy action film is the proud work of Hong Jiaban, not only earning a grand slam at the box office, but also approaching Wu Yusen's "Hero Nature", so what is Hong Jiaban?
Hong JiaBan is a group of people organized by Hong Jinbao after some fame and status in the Yuanjia class, mainly engaged in martial arts guidance and other work in the early days, and later contracted a series of work from photography, lighting, martial arts, supervising producer to director, etc., forming a strong production team.
What is the Yuanjia Class? That would bring about Hong Kong's well-known "Seven Little Blessings". In that year, Peking Opera Wusheng was influenced by "The Princess and the Seven Little Swordsmen" in Zhanyuan and founded the "Seven Little Blessings" drama class. Therefore, some members of the Seven Xiaofu formed the Yuanjia class, with members yuanlong (Hong Jinbao), Yuankui, Yuanhua, Yuanlou (Jackie Chan), Yuanbin, Yuande, Yuanbiao, as well as Yuanhong, Yuanqiu, Yuanfu, Yuansheng, etc., and later gradually formed the seven cores of Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuanbiao, Yuankui, Yuanhua, Yuande, and Yuanbin.
The Hongjia class mainly includes Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, Qian Jiale, Zeng Zhiwei, Zou Zhaolong, Wu Ma, Chen Long, Chen Xunqi, Zhong Fa and so on. It is undeniable that the two teams play an important role in the development of Hong Kong cinema. Of course, there are also people from the fan class who join this play, such as Lin Zhengying and Meng Hai.
Hong Jinbao knows talents, values talents, as long as you have the ability to accept, so the people in the Hong family class have real kung fu. Even if the appearance is not suitable for development in the film circle, in the words of Wei Junzi, there are cockfighting eyes and bald heads.
Yuan Biao: Although the Seven Little Blessings of that year did not have master Yuan's grand ambition to revive Peking Opera, they ushered in a new era of martial arts in Hong Kong. As a member of the Seven Little Fortunes, although Yuan Biao's fame is not worthy of the two eldest brothers jackie chan and Hong Jinbao, he has also achieved good results with his own efforts. In the early days, Yuan Biao mainly engaged in cameo and martial arts work, and also followed Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao to make films. The 1980s coincided with a year of great changes in the Hong Kong film industry, when the giant Shaw was dominant, but it showed a weak trend, and the new force Jiahe rose, dividing half of the sky. Independent film companies sprung up. Jackie Chan established Weihe, Hong Jinbao established Baohe, and Yuan Biao established Taihe. At a time when Hong Kong artists have broken into Hollywood, Yuan Biao insisted on staying behind, and half-hidden and half-retired to become a good man at home. In "Dawusheng", Yuan Biao played the role of Yu Shengying, but it was almost ten years since his last film.
Qian Jiale: Qian Jiale is Qian Xiaohao's younger brother, and he was also led by Qian Xiaohao into the film circle. When he first entered the industry, he became a martial artist, and after being beaten for several years, he met the nobleman Hong Jinbao and joined the Hong family class. With his handsome appearance and tireless, hard-working work was deeply appreciated by Hong Jinbao, and invited him to star in several zombie films. It can be said that Qian Jiale is a typical witness who watches the Hongjiaban turn from rise to fall. In the more than ten years of Hongjiaban, injuries are commonplace, and they are even more severe, and they have even broken hands and feet. Qian Jiale is also one of the few people in Hongjia's class who continues to be active in the film circle, friends who like to watch Hong Kong movies will not be unaware of this familiar face, even the popular works in recent years, "King of Guns", "Shinjuku Incident", "Informant", "Reverse War", "Cold War" and so on are his action or martial arts guidance works. At the end of 2012, the love with Guo Yingying for six years finally entered the marriage hall.
Noon Horse: When we think of Noon Ma, we may think of the bearded Yan Chixia in "The Ghost of Qiannu", or we may think of Mr. Zombie who fights with his master and disciple, few people know that Noon Ma is also a director, Hong Jinbao's right-hand man, Zhang Che's senior disciple, Hu Jinquan's private disciple, and one of the few all-rounders in the Hong Kong film industry. In the early days, Noonma joined Shaw as an assistant director of "Golden Swallow", "Eagle King", "Ranger", and later independently directed "Furious Sword". "Immortals in Paintings", "Exorcism Daochang", "Huang Feihong's Ghost Feet Seven" and so on are all his works.
The detailed turnover of the staff table is not small. In addition to the Hongjiaban staff, there are also Huang Yuetai, Huang Bingyao, Zhang Jianting, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and so on. First, let's take a look at the screenwriting lineup, Huang Bingyao, Zhang Jianting, Huang Hongji. Wong BingYao's representative works such as "Scary Man", "Mr. Zombie", "Truant Weilong", etc., have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenwriter. He was rated as a "genius screenwriter" by Liu Zhenwei. Cheung Kin Ting is another all-rounder in the Hong Kong film industry, a collection of editors, directors, acting, producers and a body. The first editing and directing work, "Seven Days of Wrong Love", won the Best Screenwriter at the 3rd Academy Awards.
Photography: Huang Yuetai, Huang Yuetai occupies a pivotal position in the Hong Kong photography industry, born into a film family, and his father is the gold medal photographer of Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s - Huang Jie. Huang Yuetai has won awards (including nominations) hundreds of times, such as the well-known "October Siege", "Painted Skin", "Song Dynasty", "Letter of Submission" and so on are his works. In addition to cooperating with well-known domestic directors (such as Xu Ke, Jackie Chan, Xu Anhua, Wu Yusen, Hong Jinbao, etc.), he also participated in international productions (such as "Double Pupil", "Flying Dragon Regeneration", "City That Never Sleeps").
Composer: Lin Minyi, former volunteer secretary of the Asian Composers Alliance, is also a founding father of the International Contemporary Music Association. In the late 1970s, he co-organized many concerts of "New Music Hong Kong". She has lived in Europe and the United States for 12 years, and is well-known in the Hong Kong and international music scenes, her compositions have been featured in many major international music festivals, and in 1988 she was introduced on Polish television as one of the twenty outstanding composers in the contemporary international music scene. "Love in the City", "Across the Sea", "Rich and Happy Ghost" and so on are his representative works.
The narrative structure of "Rich Train" is a typical linear narrative, with five parallel lines. On the one hand, Cheng Fangtian (Hong Jinbao) led five prostitutes to revive Hanshui Town to make up for their mistakes; on the other hand, Japanese swordsmen wanted to flee China with the treasure map of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang; on the other hand, bandits expected to rob trains and rob treasure maps; on the other hand, the Hanshui Town security team tried to escape from the place by fire prevention and robbery; and of course, the central intelligence officer (Zhong Zhentao) at the beginning pursued Cheng Fangtian. The five parallel lines, each line of people and horses, with a ghost fetus, each casting a trick and finally assembling in Hanshui Town, the five parallel lines are fused, and the film reaches a climax.
The background of "Rich Train" is set in the early years of the Republic of China, which is an era in which local guns and cannons fly together, cloth and dress coexist, the alternation of the new and the old, the integration of many countries, warlords and warlords, collusion between officials and businessmen, and the people's livelihood. But the main purpose of this film is entertainment, so it does not involve too much historical background and political factors, even so, we can still see the metaphors in the film, such as the captain of the security team guarding himself. At the same time as the progress of the times must be the progress of people's thinking, so the film appeared "no insults to Chinese" full of indignation, there appeared "women are not weak" strong slogan, there appeared "this is the wealth of our Chinese, you can not take away" national righteousness, and even more entertainment ridiculed Huang Feihong and the evil people.
There are many big brothers in the Hong Kong film industry: in the eyes of Chen Kexin, Zeng Zhiwei is the big brother; in the eyes of many people, Jackie Chan is the big brother; but for Tsang Chi Wai and Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao is the big brother.
In my impression, movies with a large number of stars are not in the minority, especially Hong Kong movies, the land of bullets, are acquaintances, cameos, friendships that are commonplace. Like the appealing jackie Chan's "Double Dragon Society", Wong Kar-wai's "Ah Fei Zheng Biography", "East Evil and West Poison", Huang Baiming's "Happy Family Affair" and so on. But to talk about the stars such as horses and flowers, there are only "Rich Train" and "Rich Night Banquet", of course, the giant night banquet is a public welfare performance to raise funds for the flood disaster in East China, and the two are incomparable. This shows the influence of Hong Jiaban. Let's take a look at the stars who starred in this movie.

The participation of two child stars, a clip of ridicule of Huang Feihong and the evil man Jian. It is also Hong Jinbao's tribute to Wong Fei Hung's films.
Hongjiaban gradually showed a weakening trend in the late 90 years, which is closely related to the invasion of Hong Kong and land integration, rampant piracy, and new foreign forces. Hong Jiabao himself was also "unintentional to the government." Some members of the Hongjia class, Lao Yan, flew around, and the Hongjia class survived in name only. At present, only Qian Jiale, Yuan Biao and Hong Jiabao himself are still in the circle, most of them are engaged in behind-the-scenes work, and most of the rest have long disappeared.
In addition, Su Xingxuan, Liu Jialiang and other people who had guest appearances in the film have passed away one after another, and Mr. Ying Uncle zombie, deeply remembered!
