Because Hong Jinbao embarked on the road to beating women, 3 popular actresses - Hu Huizhong, Yang Ziqiong, Yang Lijing
With his outstanding performance in kung fu films, Hong Jinbao began to be used by Jiahe. At the end of the 1970s, with the support of Jiahe, Hong Jinbao transformed into a director and established his own "HongJia Class".
After entering the 80s, women's films began to become popular on the screen of Hong Kong films. At this time, many female stars embarked on the road of stardom with the help of Hong Jinbao. Hu Huizhong is a typical example.
Hu Huizhong
Hu Huizhong, who has performed dazzlingly in Taiwanese literary and art films, came to the Hong Kong film industry in the mid-1980s, hoping to get a new direction of development here. In 1984, Hong Jinbao directed and acted in the action film "Fuxing Gaozhao", and Hu Huizhong was also invited to star in the female policewoman "Overlord Flower" in the film.
With this "Fuxing Gaozhao", Hu Huizhong successfully transformed the action screen, and the female policewoman "Overlord Flower" has also become a very classic screen image of her. Subsequently, Hong Jinbao's works such as "Summer Lucky Star" and "Five Lucky Stars Colliding with Ghosts", Hu Huizhong also appeared on the screen many times as the image of "Overlord Flower".

In 1984, "Miss Malaysia" Yang Ziqiong also came to Hong Kong to develop. Under the operation of Hong Jinbao, Yang Ziqiong also successfully embarked on the road of beating women.
In 1985, Hong Jinbao planned the movie "Royal Master Sister" for Yang Ziqiong, and the wonderful performance in the film made Yang Ziqiong get a lot of praise. Subsequent works such as "Royal Master Sister 2", "Chinese Warrior", "Akin's Story" and so on also allowed Yang Ziqiong to take advantage of the boom of playing female movies and embark on the peak of her career.
Yang Ziqiong
Among Hong Jinbao's many female partners, Yang Ziqiong is undoubtedly the most accomplished one.
Works such as "Royal Master Sister", "Police Story 3", "Super Plan", "Three Heroes of the East" and so on have made Yang Ziqiong highly praised in the Chinese film industry. And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "007 Empire of Tomorrow", "Sun Havoc" and other works have also made her receive a lot of attention on the big screen in Hollywood.
On Yang Ziqiong's road to beating women, there was a small episode. And this little episode also made another playing girl rise in the film industry, she is Yang Lijing.
Yang Lijing
In 1988, Yang Ziqiong chose to say goodbye to the action screen because of her marriage. At this time, Yang Lijing was also favored by Hong Jinbao and became the successor of the "Royal Master Sister".
Because of starring in the third, fourth and fifth parts of "Royal Master Sister", Yang Lijing has received a lot of attention on the screen of action Hong Kong films. In 1993, she cooperated with Hong Jinbao in "A Knife in the City", which became a martial arts classic in the hearts of film fans.
However, with the decline of Hong Kong films in the late 1990s, Yang Lijing also began to transform into the TV drama industry. The "Shangguan Wuji" in "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", the "Ashe" in "Thunderbolt Bodhisattva", and the "Mo Shuo" in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" have also made many viewers remember it vividly.

Hong Kong films in the mid-1980s were once known as the "Hollywood of the East". In order to realize their dream of stardom, many foreign actors have also come to Hong Kong to seek opportunities. The American beater Offiro of the "Hongjiaban" is one such example.
Lovelo
In his early years, Lovello was a professional karate athlete. In 1985, she began to try to transform from the arena to the film world. This year, Hong Jinbao planned "Royal Master Sister" for Yang Ziqiong, and Lovelo was also invited by Hong Jinbao to star in the film's Interpol "Kaili", thus starting his own way of beating women.
In the mid-to-late 1980s, Hong Jinbao entered a period of high production of his films. At this time, Lovello also cooperated with Hong Jinbao in many classic works. The wonderful fighting performances of the two in "Rich Train" and "Sister Dashai" have also won the affirmation and praise of many fans.
In 1990, Lovelo took a career turn. This year, she was invited by Hollywood producers to enter the North American action movie screen, and with "The Judge of Sin", "Iron Fist Glory", "Undercover Dragon" and other works, she became a "B-grade film god of war" with The Same name as Dove Longer.

However, compared with Yang Ziqiong and Lovelo, the hollywood road of Michiko of the Western Association is much bumpier. In Hollywood, although she participated in the filming of "African Ninja", "Man on the Moon", "Ghost Valley Enmity" and other works, she starred in some small roles in the film.

Hong Jinbao's 3 action female partners during the production reduction period - Gao Lihong, Hu Kaili, and Jiang Luxia
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hong Jiaban's film career entered a bottleneck, and Hong Jinbao began to reduce production on the big screen. And Luo Fuluo, Yang Ziqiong, Hu Hui and other people have gradually faded out of Hong Jiaban's film works.
With the departure of these popular beaters, Gao Lihong began to become Hong Jinbao's new action female partner.
Gao Lihong
In the early years, Gao Lihong entered the film world because of the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant. In the mid-1980s, beating women's films became the mainstream on the screen of Hong Kong films, and Gao Lihong also entered Hong Jinbao's door in 1986 and has since embarked on the road of beating women.
At the end of the 1980s, with the departure of popular women such as Yang Ziqiong, Lovelo and Hu Hui, Gao Lihong began to become the object of Hong Jinbao's support. In works such as "Oriental Condor", "Royal Female General", "Dragon and Phoenix Thief Catches Thief", Gao Lihong has also become the best choice for the heroine.
In the late 1980s and early 90s, on the screen of Hong Kong films, Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan and Chow Xingchi scored three points at the box office, and in the torrent of the times, Hong Jinbao gradually lost its market appeal. In this context, Gao Lihong has not been able to achieve too obvious results on the action screen.

In the mid-1990s, the Hong Kong film industry set off a wave of going to the United States. After Wu Yusen, Zhou Runfa, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Xu Ke successively entered Hollywood. Hong Jinbao also entered the North American market in 1998, seeking new development opportunities.

However, from 1998 to 2000, Hong Jinbao only shot "Over the River Dragon" in Hollywood. Hong Jinbao, who deeply felt that Hollywood's development was hopeless, returned to the Chinese film industry in 2001.
After 2000, the Hong Kong film market declined day by day, and the mainland film market rose steadily. In order to seek new developments, Hong Jinbao has also begun to transform into the mainland's big screen. At this time, Jiang Luxia, who was born as a martial arts athlete, began to attract the attention of Hong Jinbao.
Jiang Luxia
In her early years, Jiang Luxia was a martial arts athlete. In 2004, he won the championship in the martial arts project of the National Games and also won the title of "Martial Arts Athlete" in the country. In 2007, Jiang Luxia was favored by Xiong Xinxin and starred in the movie "Invincible". Subsequently, she starred in Yuan Heping's "Su Qi'er".
After the release of "Invincible Warrior" and "Su Qi'er", the response was flat, but Jiang Luxia's solid martial arts skills made Hong Jinbao feel favored.
In 2010, Jiang Luxia was invited by Hong Jinbao to star in the movie "Brilliant Weapon". In the subsequent "Laughing Zhen Wulin", "Vicious War", and "Swinging Storm", Jiang Luxia served in many action scenes under the arrangement of Hong Jinbao.
Although she and Hong Jinbao staged many wonderful fight performances, because of the quality of these works, Jiang Luxia has not been able to get too much attention. It was not until she starred in "Red Sea Action" in 2018 that the powerful female star began to gradually move towards the peak of her career.
On the screen of today's Chinese action movies, Hong Jinbao's figure is gradually dimming. His film works with these action actresses have also become the memories of a film era for many fans.
