Analysis:

The relationship between Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan

Speaking of the relationship between Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, we can say that they are both teachers and friends. It is said that Jackie Chan learned a lot from Sammo Hung and has been taken care of by his eldest brother since he entered the film circle. Therefore, the cooperation between them is also the most, inspiring each other and making great contributions to the development of Hong Kong-type films. Sammo Hung, for example, not only started the trend of black kung fu comedies and fashion action movies with the series of Beware of Little Hands and Five Lucky Stars, but also the series of Zombies produced by the producers became all the rage. Besides his minor rival in the action film Kung Fu, he also appeared in several well-received literary films, such as Romance with Zhang Aijia in Ye Jingsheng. The film's faint homesickness and slightly sad love story are impressive, and Sammo Hung's excellent acting skills also add icing on the cake. In addition, he plays a naturally retarded adult in Long Zhixin, which co-stars with Jackie Chan, and his acting skills are superb. Unfortunately, it collided with the theme "Why Have Me" starring Zheng Zeshi that year, which not only had a bad reputation, but also had only a few million box offices. It was the most unsuccessful cooperation between Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, which made Jackie Chan dare not speak out of turn in literary films, but Sammo Hung didn't care. Later, there was a literary film "Bride Crossing Hong Kong" starring Maggie Cheung. Such courage and breakthrough in acting skills can definitely win the first place in the "Seven Little Blessings".

Besides, Sammo Hung inspired Jackie Chan that Jackie Chan played the role of a policeman for the first time in The Five Lucky Stars, which inspired Jackie Chan's creation. Only then did Ma Rulong, a policeman of the Republic of China in Plan A, get Chen Jiaju in Never Say Never, which later won the Best Film Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. 1985 Sammo Hung produced a series of "The Royal Sisters" for Debao, and 1987 Jackie Chan produced a series of "Lady Enforcers" for Jiahe-I wonder if this is an inspiration or a shock? In addition, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao all set up their own film companies in 1980s. Jackie Chan's is Weihe River, Sammo Hung's is Baohe, and Yuan Biao's is Taihe. Obviously, they all started from Jiahe Film Company. With the development of their respective careers, their cooperation began to decrease gradually. In addition to the five-star lucky star series and Plan A, there are also fast food trucks and flying dragons. Flying Dragon is the last work of three brothers. In the film, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao scuffle because of misunderstanding. You have me and I have you. It's very classic. Who knew this was the swan song of three brothers' cooperation? However, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao have cooperated with one another, such as The Oriental Condor, Blood Debt (in this film, Sammo Hung played the villain for the first time and was finally killed in a fight with Yuan Biao), Niu Pijiao in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and so on. -In fact, in recent years, my favorite works of Seven Little Fucks were directed by Yuan Kui and starred by Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Kui, Yuan De and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Yuan Biao's hero, Yuan Hua's funny, Yuan De's villain are all brilliant, but it's a pity that the film is a typical blockbuster, and the box office is extremely poor, somehow.

In other words, the world trend, together for a long time, will split, split for a long time, the "seven little blessings" after decades of ups and downs, although the development focus is not quite the same, such as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Kui in Hollywood, Yuan Biao in Hong Kong, Yuan Hua turned to wireless TV to become a TV actor, while Yuan Bin made a living in the mainland. But now we get together in twos and threes and make movies together. Sammo Hung served as the action director of Jackie Chan's raiders of the lost ark, Yuan Biao served as the action director of Jackie Chan's Dragon Whirlwind, Sammo Hung starred in the TV series Revenge Valley directed by Yuan Bin, and Yuan Biao and Sammo Hung got together again in Boxing God ... Maybe Seven Little Happiness is old as actors (especially Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung), but as action directors, they have great influence on Hong Kong and even the world.

As for the other brothers of "Seven", Yuan Kui, Yuan De, Yuan Wah, Yuan Wu, Yuan Zhen and others also gathered around Jackie Chan at this time, sharing weal and woe. Everyone had food, martial arts guidance or appeared on the screen, which was much better than the days when they were martial artists. This is just an old saying (which may not be appropriate): some people in North Korea are good at being officials-but then again.

Yuan Kui's martial arts moves designed for Jackie Chan's "Master Dragon" and Sammo Hung's "Senior Sister" have their own magical powers. As a director, he co-directed with Liu Zhenwei and starred in Stephen Chow's Gambling Saint, which set the highest box office record of 1990. When he met Jet Li, he showed what he had learned all his life, gave full play to Jet Li's agility, and classic martial arts designs emerged one after another. In the action scene designed by him and his younger brother Yuan De for Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu, Jet Li and Hu Huizhong are high above the audience's heads, showing their natural and unrestrained posture, while Chiu Man-Cheuk and Jet Li are fighting in the lower mezzanine of the guillotine, but they win with dexterity. In addition, Li and Zhao fought with long sticks and short sticks in the dyehouse-this clever contrast between high and low, short and long is really dazzling and amazing. Yuan Kui and Yuan De were well-deserved to win the Golden Award for Best Wushu Instructor. At this point, Yuan Kui and Yuan De's other disciples jointly designed a series of wonderful action scenes in the films starring Jet Li, such as Rowen in Five Ancestors of New Shaolin, Bodyguard of China, Red Dragon and Rat Gallbladder. Jet Li's distinctive modeling, natural and unrestrained appearance, quiet as a virgin and healthy as a rabbit all reflect the painstaking efforts of his disciple Yuan Kui, making him unique in the direction of martial arts in Hong Kong.

Yuan Wah's screen impression has always been that villains are deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the 1980s, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao and many other films, such as The Dragon Warrior, Frozen, and The Oriental Condor, Yuan Wah always played the villain with the best kung fu, and sometimes Jackie Chan and his other disciples had to make moves at the same time to defeat him. In fact, Yuan Wah's thin body, without some real kung fu, is really not enough to resist the repeated attacks of the three other disciples. Just repeating these villains who only rely on fist and fist kung fu will inevitably make Yuan Wah a pure face-lifting sparring partner like Lu Huiguang and Zhou Bili. So this man with the same moustache as George Lam (Yuan Biao's evaluation of his appearance in Frozen) began to work hard on acting. Jet Li's films such as Descendants of the Dragon, Lover's Lover, Cartoon Veyron, and Dragon on Earth all fully show Yuan Wah's comic performance talent, which is much more lively than being the No.1 boxer in Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao's movies. In addition, the martial arts moves he designed for Frozen Chivalrous Man and Dragon Walking in the World are also neat and unconventional, which is quite innovative. Unfortunately, he didn't make much progress in martial arts instruction, but focused on the performance in front of the screen. Needless to say, it is unique and has achieved little.

Even in the early learning stage of "Seven Little Happiness", Yuan Bin is the least noticeable one. In the 1980s, when other disciples began to have their own * * *, Yuan Bin became even more obscure and didn't see any achievements. He seldom cooperated with other disciples such as Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. Instead, he studied under another famous martial arts instructor, Cheng Xiaodong, and together with Ma Yucheng became Cheng Xiaodong's deputy, helping him to design classic action scenes of many martial arts films, such as Xinlongmen Inn, Dong Fangbubai and New the duke of mount deer. Therefore, he was deeply appreciated by Tsui Hark, and later he was promoted to be the martial arts instructor of the Three Lions Championship in Huang Feihong. However, although the martial arts movements designed by Yuan Bin and Ma Yucheng are deeply influenced by Cheng Xiaodong, they all have their own emphases: Ma Yucheng has a flying style and the essence of elegant and chic style, but sometimes it is exaggerated, and the combination of reality and reality is poor; Yuan Bin tried to dismantle martial arts movements, so he was realistic. Unfortunately, sometimes he tries to learn from Cheng Xiaodong's unconstrained style, which inevitably backfires. This point has been highlighted in The Wind of Four Kings in Huang Feihong and Five Dragons in Huang Feihong. As for the action scenes of many classic shootouts in "Galaxy Image" directed by Yuan Bin later, they are wonderful and realistic, but compared with making kung fu movies, he can play at will.

Throughout the 1980s, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao were the stars of the most popular Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong. As long as they have appeared in kung fu movies, almost all of them have achieved excellent box office receipts. If the two films co-star, it will be a guarantee of box office sales. So the three brothers cooperated many times in those years. First, Five Lucky Stars was filmed by Jiahe for the action comedy series Best Partner of Shaheen Art City, and directed by Sammo Hung, which created a group drama with a luxurious star lineup. The film is mainly based on the funny performances of Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Feng Cuifan, Qin Xianglin and Cen Jianxun (later changed to Ceng Zhiwei), and the plot is mainly the flirting of these five lewd men. Another highlight is the action kungfu scenes of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao. (In the Five Lucky Stars, Yuan Biao only showed his face and didn't appear much. Later, the lucky star is shining high and the lucky star in summer is a wonderful tactic for three people to fight against the enemy at the same time. ). Only in the Five Lucky Stars series, in which Sammo Hung controls the overall style of the film, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao are limited to fighting, and there are not many scenes. But when Jackie Chan wrote, directed and performed Plan A, it was Jackie Chan. No matter how hard Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao fight, they can't steal Jackie Chan's thunder.

In addition, opera actors, like dancers, are particularly good at mastering the rhythm of body movements, and their movements and postures should be dexterous, prioritized and arranged. If accompanied by music drums, it can be called dance. This can be proved by Jackie Chan's fighting with foreign boxers in a glass bottle with music accompaniment-it is precisely because of the special importance of rhythm to kung fu films that we can easily understand why Yang Ziqiong, Li Saifeng, Cynthia Khan and even Zhang Ziyi, who were born in dance, can quickly become a generation of stars.

In fact, as early as the childhood of "Seven Little Spitfires", they became attached to martial arts films. It turns out that Yu Zhanyuan's daughter, Yu Suqiu, was the most popular actress in Hong Kong martial arts movies in 1960s, and Yu Zhanyuan herself often acted as a martial arts actress in Cantonese movies. With this relationship, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan participated in film performances very early, but compared with popular child stars such as Xiao Fangfang and Feng Baobao, Seven problem child can only be regarded as a walk-on, and it can get a movie like Big and Small Huang Tianba. However, the experience in front of the camera and the performance experience on the big screen laid the foundation for the future glory of Seven Little Lucky.

197 1 year, due to the massive loss of opera audiences, Yu Zhanyuan's "China Theatre Research Institute" finally failed to survive, and other disciples such as Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao had to fend for themselves. At that time, they, the actors from the troupe, all embarked on the road of martial artists in the film and television circle. It seems that this is their ability to maximize their talents and live up to their ability to practice hard when learning drama. Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao and others are lucky. After working in Shaw Film Company for a period of time, they met their brother Sammo Hung, who started working three years ago. At that time, he had been promoted from a martial artist to a martial arts coach. Introduced by Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others began to act as stuntmen and martial artists for Jiahe Film Company. During this period, the most unforgettable experience for them was to participate in the filming of Bruce Lee films.

Jingwumen is Bruce Lee's second kung fu film after his return from Hollywood. In this film, Bruce Lee's vigorous Jeet Kune Do is undoubtedly revealed, and the power of nunchakus and the heroic spirit of fighting alone are exciting. At that time, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao played the Japanese ronin who was beaten out of the water by Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan also played body double of Mr. Suzuki who was kicked down by Zhen Chen at the end of the film. Yuan Wah, another member of "Seven Little Happiness", is fortunate to be body double of Bruce Lee. In this film, almost all the acrobatics that Li needs to do are done by Yuan Wah. In addition, Yuan Wah played a Japanese student who played Zhen Chen in front of the sign "No Dogs and People in China", and there were some provocative lines. Later, Yuan Wah boasted that he was body double of Bruce Lee when he was a busker in the comedy Descendants of the Dragon. Interestingly, Stephen Chow, who plays his son in the film, is a big fan of Bruce Lee. In king of comedy, he performed the scenes of "Jingwumen" and "Kicking the Pavilion". The original scene of Cecilia Cheung being lifted into the air and then falling to the ground was played by Jackie Chan, who also made a guest appearance as a "dead walk-on" in king of comedy. The audience looked funny, but they didn't know that he and Master Xing were from the same background. A word will also have a profound experience.

It can be said that Hong Kong-made kung fu films really broke away from the martial arts films of Bruce Lee period, and the historical background changed from ancient times to modern times or even modern times, showing a brand-new atmosphere, which began to attract the attention of the world film industry and had a far-reaching impact on the future direction of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. After Bruce Lee, Hong Kong Kung Fu movies became very popular. Even movie master and Zhang Che, martial arts, began to set foot in Ma Yongzhen and other modern martial arts movies, and there were many stars who imitated the style of Bruce Lee Kung Fu movies: Lv Xiaolong, Liang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong ... and Jackie Chan.

Seven little blessings and Jackie Chan were the first to become famous. Hong became famous for his martial arts instruction, and later began to direct and direct Sammo Hung's own films. His first work was Sande Monk and Spring Rice Six, followed by Tiger Frog, Lin Shirong and other films, which were also well received. After Jackie Chan died in Bruce Lee, his former collaborators found out that he was Li's successor. However, whether it's Bruce Lee's new Jingwumen or the martial arts movies adapted from Gu Long's novels (sword flowers and misty moon in the south of the Yangtze River, etc. ) it worked. It was not until 1978 that Wu Siyuan filmed Jackie Chan's Drunk Boxing that it quickly became popular. The humorous style of the film and Yuan Heping's lively and dexterous acrobatic martial arts movements are simply tailored for Jackie Chan, which fully demonstrates his talent in this field and enables Jackie Chan to find his future development direction in the field of kung fu films. Since then, another Kung Fu superstar has officially appeared after Bruce Lee.

Because Jackie Chan's humorous kung fu films are very popular, Hong Kong filmmakers who have always followed the trend have turned to making such films. Most of them are natural, but there are also many fine works. In addition to Jackie Chan's Snake-shaped Diao Hands and Brother Long's Coming Out, Sammo Hung's Miscellaneous Boys and Go Easy on Me are also excellent works. The story lines of these two films are similar to drunken boxing, and they are all routines for teenagers to get revenge after being humiliated and learn from masters. In the film, the humorous martial arts masters (similar to Su's image played by my father in Drunken Boxing) are all played by Yuan Biao, while the naughty boy like Jackie Chan is played by Yuan Biao, and the martial arts actions designed by the two brothers are absolutely wonderful, no less than Drunken Boxing, so they have also achieved excellent reputation and box office-more importantly, the sage boy is merciless.

Seven Little Happiness is based on the real experience of other disciples Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao studying in the Theatre Academy. In this film, Sammo Hung plays their master Yu Zhanyuan, and his apprentice plays the master. His figure and mentality are extremely thoughtful and naturally depicted in detail. So Sammo Hung won the Best Actor trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the second time-I wonder what it would be like for Yu Zhanyuan, who is still in the fashion world, to see his screen image? Perhaps even he didn't expect that Disciple Rules became a climate in the film industry, and even had a far-reaching impact on the development of Hong Kong films to some extent.

At that time, Yu Zhanyuan founded the China Theatre Research Institute. Although the name is bluffing, the scale is only medium among many drama schools in Hong Kong, with dilapidated buildings and poor conditions. Fortunately, the master didn't mislead people, and he taught very seriously. Students learn from teachers and art, and sign life and death contracts according to the rules of the old pear garden. Once parents send their children to drama school, they will be completely taken care of by the master during the contract period. At that time, the pear garden business in Hong Kong had not been destroyed by movies, and there were still many audiences to support it. Therefore, a large number of opera singers are needed. It was because of this opportunity that Yu Zhanyuan established a drama school. In the final analysis, this is only to solve his own livelihood problems.

"Seven Little Happiness" is not only a Peking Opera, but also a troupe, and it is also the floorboard of Yu Zhanyuan's favorite pupil. Many friends think that "seven little blessings" refer to seven people, including Jackie Chan, but it's actually more than that. It turns out that in a Peking Opera performance, Master Yu chose Yuan Lou, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuan Wu and Tai as the protagonists in Seven Little Happiness (Note: Jackie Chan's stage name at that time was Yuan Lou, not his eldest brother's stage name. It was not until later that Sammo Hung, who was five years older than Jackie Chan, made his debut in the film industry that Jackie Chan won the title of Long Yuan. Because the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan took this opportunity to set up the "Seven Little Blessings" Troupe, which not only allowed his disciples to gain more performance experience, but also earned some money, which can be described as "killing two birds with one stone".

The "Seven Little Happiness" Troupe has 14 members, besides the seven people just mentioned, there are Yuan De, Yuan Jun, Yuan Bin, Yuan Zhen, Yuanbao and others. Only with the passage of time, looking back at this group of other disciples, Yuan Jun, Thailand and Yuan Wu disappeared in the early 1980s. Yuan Zhen and Yuanbao are only in the film industry, unknown; Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuan De and Yuan Bin have become the most famous figures in Xiangjiang Film Industry, so the "seven little blessings" in the eyes of the public are naturally aimed at them.

Everyone knows that Jackie Chan's film achievements are completely reflected in action kung fu movies. In addition to acting in action scenes, Seven Little Happiness is a famous action director. According to the author's incomplete statistics, since the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Awards, 20 best martial arts director trophies have been awarded, of which 12 fell into the hands of "seven gangsters". Since the 1990s, the Golden Horse Awards for Taiwanese films have been awarded the Best Action Director Award for eight times, but Seven problem child has won six awards (note: including the number of awards for collaboration with others, such as Xinlongmen Inn, Family and Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Bin). As for why they can all do well in the field of kung fu films and then become a generation, in the final analysis, it is related to their past being opera actors. Yu Zhanyuan is a famous martial artist in Beijing Opera, and his disciples are mainly martial artists or online drama actors. The so-called singing, sitting, playing and acrobatics must be proficient in everything. However, when it comes to singing, Jackie Chan only has a good voice in Seven Little Happiness, while Yu Zhanyuan only has low requirements for this, and other aspects need to be improved. Later, in "The Sage Boy" starring Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, they practiced Monkey Boxing, with quick skills and facial expressions. In Plan A, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan play the role of thieves, while in Hero China, Yuan Biao and Hua Dan dance as silver guns, which is the basic skill of being a traditional opera actor.
