He is the eldest brother of the film industry, and he has the grace of knowing Zhou Xingchi, and Huang Qiusheng is actually his disciple
He is a well-known action actor in Hong Kong, whose reputation in the 1970s was no less than that of Dillon, David Jiang and others. Later, he began to set up his own film company, and he also recommended Zhou Xingchi to Li Xiuxian and others, and he also had the grace of knowing Xingye. In addition to these, he is also the third generation of the Great Saint Splitting Hanging Gate, an authentic martial arts master, the famous Hong Kong actor Huang Qiusheng is his disciple, and Qian Xiaohao and Qian Jiale brothers are his brothers and nephews. Among his own disciples, the more famous one is Ao Jianian, who is now a wireless contract artist. Having said all this, perhaps many officials already know who this person is, he is a generation of kung fu masters Chen Guantai.
Chen Guantai, whose ancestral home is Guangdong, was born in Hong Kong on September 24, 1945, because his grandfather was friends with Geng Dehai, the founder of the Great Saint Splitting Hanging Gate, began to learn the martial arts of the Great Saint Splitting Hanging Gate at a young age, and later worshiped under Geng Dehai's disciple Chen Xiuzhong, officially becoming the third generation of disciples of the Great Saint Splitting Hanging Gate. It is worth mentioning that the actor Huang Qiusheng is also a disciple of Chen Xiuzhong's disciples, and has the foundation of many years of Great Saint Splitting Door Kung Fu. The action directors Qian Xiaohao and Qian Jiale brothers, who are now thriving in Hong Kong, are Chen Guantai's teachers and nephews.
In 1967, through the introduction of his master Chen Xiuzhong, he joined the team of Liu Jialiang and Tang Jia and became a martial artist. In 1969, Chen Guantai had become Jiahe's martial arts instructor and participated in the movie "Eight Steps to Chase the Soul".
In May of the same year, Tan Guan Tai represented Da Sheng Split Hanging Gate in the first Southeast Asian Guoshu Competition held in Singapore and won the lightweight championship. In that tournament, Chen Guantai won five games and five wins, and all the games were big wins. After the competition, Chen Guantai's reputation soared, and he was appreciated by the famous martial arts film master Zhang Che, after which Chen Guantai signed an actor contract with Shaw and officially became Zhang Che's disciple.
At that time, Chen Guantai, Dillon, and Jiang David were Zhang Che's most proud cadres, and the three of them also participated in most of the films directed by Zhang Che. In the 1972 film "Ma Yongzhen", Chen Guantai co-starred with Jiang David. In the subsequent classic film "Thorn Horse", Chen Guantai's co-starring with Dillon and Jiang David has become a classic in film history.
During the Shaw period, Chen Guantai also starred in classic films such as "The Great Knife King V" and "Children of Shaolin".
After 1975, Chen Guantai formed his own Dasheng Film Company and began to direct and act on his own. The movie "Big Brother Cheng" is a work of this period (Big Brother Cheng is Chen Guantai's stage name).
In 1978, under the persuasion of his mentor Zhang Che, Chen Guantai returned to Shaw. He also starred in several works. "Shanghai Beach Tycoon" is Chen Guantai's representative work in this period, and here is a classic film directed and acted by Chen Guantai.
After entering the 1980s, popular rising stars such as Chen Guantai and Zhang Guorong have cooperated and have also had the grace of knowing Xingye. When Zhou Xingchi was still in the wireless period, Chen Guantai found that this young man was very serious and had great potential, so he recommended it to his friend Li Xiuxian. This is the story of Li Xiuxian's praise of Zhou Xingchi after that.
Chen Guantai not only recommended Zhou Xingchi to others, but also cooperated with Zhou Xingchi, such as "Righteous Courage and Courage" in 1989, "Thief A Xing" in 1990 and so on. Among them, "Thief A Star" is also a film that Chen Guantai himself invested in and produced as a producer. The deeper meaning of this movie is that after Li Xiuxian and Zhou Xingchi had some contradictions, Chen Guantai used to invest in this movie to make a position, and also through the matchmaking of this movie to make a buffer for the relationship between the two.

After the 1990s, Chen Guantai mainly invested in movies, and the number of performances was far less than that of the 70s and 80s, and most of them appeared in some supporting roles. Although there are also some classic roles during this period, it must be admitted that Chen Guantai's brilliant era in front of the screen has gradually faded away. However, unlike many film and television bigwigs, Chen Guantai is still acting today, even if the role is small, he does not care. Acting seems to him to have far exceeded the meaning of work. In the movie "Gentleman's Road" released in 2015, Chen Guantai had a wonderful performance.
In addition to filming, Chen Guantai is still running a martial arts hall. He did not pay attention to the number of disciples he opened, nor did he care whether the martial arts hall was profitable, the main purpose was to pass on the kung fu of the Great Saint Splitting Hanging Door. Therefore, Chen Guantai was very strict with his master Chen Xiuzhong, and until now the number of disciples under his name was not much. However, he once said that all the disciples he accepted, it is difficult to say whether the kung fu is good or not, but the character must be good.
In addition, since 2012, Chen Guantai has served as the chairman of the Traditional Chinese National Skills Association, and the president is his disciple Huang Qiusheng.
