Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Yuan Wah, Ching-Ying Lam and Yuan Heping all have masters. Who is the real master?

Yesterday, the island owner watched the classic action comedy "Fast Food Car" starring Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao, and liked it very much. In the 1980s and 1990s, Seven Little Messes, represented by Sammo Hung, made a series of interesting action comedy movies, which was impressive. For example, Plan A, Fast Food Car and Five Lucky Stars are all representative works, and the seven small promiscuities have also created their own world in the Hong Kong film industry.

The so-called "seven little happiness" refers to seven people, including Long Yuan, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuanlou, Thailand, Yuan De and Yuan Biao. Among them, Long Yuan is Sammo Hung and Yuanlou is Jackie Chan. Everyone should be familiar with four people, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and Yuan De. They are all senior actors in Hong Kong, and Yuan has long since ceased to exist. In fact, there were several other apprentices in the troupe at that time, and later they became famous figures, such as Yuan Qiu, the chartered woman in Kung Fu. In fact, she is a senior, a teacher elder sister of Jackie Chan and others in Sammo Hung. And Yuan Qing, who later became the super martial artist Yuan Heping.

Having introduced so much, in fact, I want to introduce the protagonist we really want to talk about today, because without him, there would be no seven little happiness. Many of these children may not have embarked on the road of art and become famous superstars in the future. This man is Yu Zhanyuan, the owner of 7-up.

Yu Zhanyuan, a martial artist, 1905 was born in Shuntianfu (now Beijing), the capital of troubled times. When I was young, I was a famous Peking Opera actor. After I went to Hongkong, I sang on the stage, acted on the screen and founded the China Theatre Research Institute. Although this name is bluffing, it is only medium-sized among many drama schools in Hong Kong, with dilapidated buildings and poor conditions. Fortunately, the master didn't mislead people and taught them 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" was originally a Peking Opera and a troupe, and it was also the floorboard of Yu Zhanyuan's favorite pupil. At that time, in a Peking Opera performance, Yu Zhanyuan chose Long Yuan, Yuan Lu, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuan Wu and Tai as the protagonists of Seven Little Bastards. Because the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan took this opportunity to set up the "Seven Little Messs" Troupe, which not only enabled his disciples to gain more performance experience, but also earned some money, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Although several apprentices taught by Yu Zhanyuan are still the mainstay or even the best in Hong Kong-made films, his own achievements in the film industry are average, and most of his films are not brilliant.

His daughter, Yu Suqiu, is the heroine in the works such as Palm of the Tathagata in 1960s, and a famous martial arts actress in Hong Kong.

Because Yu Suqiu was the most popular martial arts actress in Hong Kong films in the 1960s, and Yu Zhanyuan herself often played martial arts roles in Cantonese films, 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 Little Fooks can only be regarded as a walk-on, and it is very good to get such secondary roles as Six Overlords and Seven Overlords in Big and Small Huang Tianba. But 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 Happiness.

197 1 year, due to the massive loss of opera audiences, Yu Zhanyuan's "China Theatre Research Institute" finally failed to survive and came to an end. Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao and other disciples had to stand on their own feet. 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 some time, they met their brother Sammo Hung, who has been promoted from a martial artist to a martial arts coach. Under the recommendation of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others began to do stunts for Jiahe Film Company as the martial arts masters of body double and Longhu, and started their own different careers.

Yu Zhanyuan died on 1997. In his later years, Qi often spent time with him. After his death, there were fewer parties, but Master's strength remained. Because they are all in the entertainment circle in Hong Kong, most people still cooperate and maintain a very good friendship.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Zhanyuan also has a very special disciple who has no stage name. After only studying with him for half a year, he became a martial artist in Bruce Lee's movies, but he was also famous. He's Ching-Ying Lam, the zombie leader.

1988, director Alex Law filmed a film called "Seven Little Bastards", telling the story that Yu Zhanyuan started a troupe and the "Seven Little Bastards" finally became famous all over the world. I'm looking for Sammo Hung to play Yu Zhanyuan. If you are interested, you can come and have a look at that glorious history.
