At the end of the 1970s, there were four legged kings in the Hong Kong film industry, namely the overlord leg Huang Zhengli, the divine leg Liu Zhongliang, the leg king Tan Daoliang and the whirlwind leg Kasava. Tan Daoliang, the leg king, was once the idol of many kung fu actors, and Jet Li and Zhen Zidan admired him very much.
The divine leg Liu Zhongliang once worshiped under the door of the leg king Tan Daoliang, the name Liu Zhongliang you may not be familiar with, but you should remember Xiao Rufeng of "Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt", and finally won with a trick to catch the egg, I believe many people will never forget the moment when the egg was broken.
Born in 1947, Tan Daoliang grew up in South Korea as a child, learned martial arts from an early age, and achieved relatively high achievements in taekwondo. Talking about why he studied martial arts, he replied that he was bullied in a foreign country. At the age of 17, Tan Daoliang was already the youngest taekwondo coach, and various taekwondo competitions were basically champions. Later, he was invited by Xiao Jiang to Taiwan to organize the Taekwondo Committee. It was his efforts to promote it that enabled Taiwan to later win gold medals in the Olympic taekwondo event.
In the early 1970s, the Hong Kong film industry's Bruce Lee miracle became popular, blowing up a wave of action movies, and many filmmakers keenly smelled that action movies were profitable, so they began to hunt for kung fu masters. At that time, Tan Daoliang was also an instructor in the taiwan military, and he was very good at kung fu, and was deeply appreciated by a director, plus the recommendation of his superiors. Tan Daoliang is really embarrassed to shirk, and can only say that he will try to shoot one first. At the beginning, the heroine found was Zhen Zhen, the qiong girl, but she was unwilling, and in desperation, she found a newcomer Lin Fengjiao to play, which is also her debut. As soon as the "Chaozhou Fury Man" starring two newcomers was launched, it immediately received a good response.
After Tan Daoliang became popular, naturally some people compared him with Bruce Lee, and even some media rumors that the two had engaged in a life-and-death duel, and Tan Daoliang could not pass two rounds at Bruce Lee's feet. Tan Daoliang could only smile bitterly in the face of this rumor, saying that he and Bruce Lee once had only one side of the relationship in the restaurant, and it can be said that they did not know each other and did not have a duel at all. Victory or defeat is very important for people who practice martial arts, and it involves face and dignity.
After the fall of Bruce Lee, the major film companies wanted to create a second Bruce Lee. In 1975, Tam was invited by Jiahe Film Company to shoot in the Hong Kong film industry, and his first film was "Tantric Holy Hand". Qixiaofu, who later occupied half of the Hong Kong film industry, was still running the dragon set at this time, and Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui and Yuan Hua were all inside.
The next year, "Shaolin Gate" was filmed, which was Wu Yusen's first film in Jiahe, and Jackie Chan's role was a little more than the above "Tantric Sacred Hand". And Jackie Chan's big brother is also Tan Daoliang's martial arts stand-in. Lin Fengjiao once filmed the first film with Tan Daoliang, and Jackie Chan's big brother was his stand-in, and it was really not a family that did not enter the door.
At that time, everyone wanted to become Bruce Lee's second, but the audience did not buy it, and the superstar could not imitate it, until later Jackie Chan joined hands with Yuan Heping to create kung fu comedies such as "Drunken Fist" and "Snake-shaped Executioner" to break this situation. At that time, Tan Daoliang also took over a lot of action movies, such as "Southern Fist and Northern Leg Living Yama King", "Duel Sun Tower", "Yongzheng Death And Death Shaolin Gate", "Thirteen Taibao Li Cunxiao", "Dragon Fist Snake Hand Fighting Spider", "Hu Huiqian Blood Battle Xifu Temple", "Flesh and Blood Mill" and so on.
Tan Daoliang did not make movies at the beginning for interest, unlike Bruce Lee who was so obsessed with movies and kung fu. Tan Daoliang is just making movies, and he doesn't want to go into this line at all, let alone ask him to create some characters with complex hearts. Jackie Chan has been changing himself for many years, and "British Showdown" allows us to see a different big brother. Tan Daoliang realized that he could not become a kung fu superstar like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and chose to take pictures when he finished filming "The Last Breath" in 1982, which is also a perfect beginning and end, leaving us with a good impression.
Tan Daoliang went to the United States to open a martial arts museum after the shadow, and in addition to the above-mentioned god leg Liu Zhongliang as his apprentice, Bruce Lee's daughter Li Xiangning was also his apprentice. In addition to opening a martial arts museum, Master Tan is also engaged in the business of some health products.
In 2004, when Xingye was preparing to shoot "Kung Fu", he invited Tan Daoliang to play the role of the fire cloud evil god, but Master Tan refused because he was not ready to go out of the mountain, afraid that he would not meet xingye's requirements. Finally, we know that Liang Xiaolong ushered in the second spring of his career with the Fire Cloud Evil God. Seriously, Tan Daoliang and Liang Xiaolong are really quite similar.
Some time ago, one of the left and right protectors before Jackie Chan, Lu Huiguang, a common thug in Hong Kong films, posted a photo of eating with Master Tan Daoliang, and said that he was particularly happy to eat with his idol. Now that Master Tan is 70 years old, it is estimated that the comeback is already impossible, and he misses the era when the stars gathered!
