[Moderator]: Before the Chinese director, is the time, how to find the possibility of kung fu into the movie? [Screen appears]: "knife Madan" [host]: change from Beijing Opera Kung Fu movie. [Screen appears]: "White Witch Biography" [host]: Yes, Kung Fu movies originated from the traditional drama, but not every traditional drama will do, we refer to the so-called "Beijing Opera." For centuries it has been a part of Chinese culture. [Screen appears]: "knife Madan" [host]: Kung Fu how to become part of Beijing Opera? All this happened in the mid-1760s. [Actor - David Calading]: The Manchu government ruled China, that the Shaolin Temple is an illegal monastery, they plan to ruin the Shaolin Temple.Of the hundreds of Shaolin disciples, only five Shaolin disciples escaped the robbery. When they saw their home destroyed, all the brothers died and decided to resist the Manchu government. Picture appears: "Shaolin Temple" [Actor - David Kaladin]: In the ruins, they find their own weapons. Decided to use their own expertise in this battle of life and death, in this bloody battle to express their views. They keep practicing and work hard to practice martial arts. This is a battle of life and death. In this battle, only three of the five disciples survived, but they kept the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple. 【Appear】: "Shaolin 36 Gongfang" 【Yuanbang】: Like a bathing fire Phoenix reborn from the ashes, they found their strength in the ruins of the Shaolin Temple. They returned to their place of origin to complete the battle. In order to go beyond the ambitious goal of self, work tirelessly. [Yuan Bin]: I think that is the real hero, whether it is a mortal on the screen or a hero on the screen, they are seeking worth the struggle of the goal, this goal is far beyond the self. [Moderator]: One of the three monks who survived the fire in Shaolin Temple is Master of Good. In 1765, when the group of Shaolin monks came forward to defend the Qing Dynasty, Master Zhuan Shan imparted a martial arts to the Beijing Opera entertainer who performed the tour. Master Zhizeng did so for two reasons: First, he wanted to carry on the tradition of Shaolin martial arts when the Qing dynasty attempted to eliminate Shaolin martial art; secondly, he wanted to sow the seeds of the uprising and give all the then wanted resistance against tyranny People. Peking Opera performers roamed around with performances and passed on such knowledge and tradition. [Moderator]: About a century later, in 1850, for the first time in Chinese history, a group of Beijing opera actors joined the anti-Qing revolution . [Screen appears]: "knife Ma Dan" [Moderator]: After the failure of the revolutionary uprising, the Qing Dynasty banned Beijing Opera performances, Beijing opera performers have secret performances, so their traditional drama into a higher because of the effort Realm, Shaolin Wuxue Fang not lost pass. [Moderator]: Twenty years later, the new government adopted a tolerant attitude. [Moderator]: So Peking Opera with Shaolin martial arts, and Buddhist teachings have a profound relationship. 【Director - Yu Rintai】: You will understand that the purpose of Xuewu is not to fight. Xuewu's purpose is to constrain himself. Kung Fu movies convey this lofty idea. [Moderator]: In the early 1900s, film work began to sprouting in China, for the actor is thirsty, when the film actor is from the local Beijing opera actor. [Voiceover]: Peking Opera has no actress, is a man dominated the world. [Moderator]: Do not misunderstood opera actors are like men dressed as women's men, and now many martial arts stars, all grew up in drama classes, Beijing opera actors training methods over the years has not changed. Or so strict, tiring, striving for perfection, and often violent scenes. [Actor - Cheng Long]: When I was seven years old, I went to the troupe from practicing martial arts at five in the morning till evening, and the practice of martial arts was rather harsh. Master told me: "Come here."I thought it was time to eat pressed noodles ... I was really scared, and even my dad, my mother did not hit me that way ... [Actor / Director - Sammo Hung]: The teacher will disciple, then Being flogged is a common occurrence. Not only during school play, but also when you are apprehended, you have to accept the disciplinary punishment. But I witnessed at that time, whipping really useful, ha ha ha [Moderator]: a few centuries after the Beijing opera style, singing became a worthless work. Men in Beijing opera anti-string women, found in the community at the time. When the movie was first introduced to China, it was regarded as a low-level art form. The actor refused to let her stand down and perform in the movie, so she was featured in the film by a woman. It is hard to imagine that the actress, dressed as a man, will make difficult martial arts moves. [Voiceover]: The first Kung Fu female star is Fan Juhua, and later she relies on kung fu life, most of the apprentice is an actress. Tan Sanshan himself set up a troupe, before she filming, the results are quite good. But undoubtedly the most successful Chinese film star Kung Fu Qin Qian. In the 1930s, she founded a movie company, self-made self-directed many Kung Fu movies. [Screen appears]: "Hong Jiang female swordsman" [Voiceover]: Qin Qian's grandchildren is one of the innovators of modern Kung Fu movies ........ Sammo Hung. [Film historian - Li Zhuo peach]: Kung Fu movie popular, began in a movie "burning red lotus Temple", the film was shot in 1928 in Shanghai. [Voiceover]: High-tension story content, combined with neat and clean moves, has always been the foundation of first-rate Kung Fu movies. "Fire Honglian Temple" established such a tradition, the film was very sensational, and later filmed 27 movies of the same series ... Sadly, these films are gone. [Moderator]: Fortunately, we found some very popular kung fu films, which are silent film era works, these early films have never been broadcast outside Asia. 【Appearance】: "Red Knight" Voiceover: fantasy and magic, occupy a place in Chinese culture, has also been a part of Peking Opera's colorful and varied narrative. 【Appearance】: "Lady White Rose" [Voiceover]: These charming features, are used in early film production. For fans, they have different meanings. Much content is based on historical events, ghost concepts, legends and popular novels. [Moderator]: In terms of the current standards, the shooting skills seem quite rough, but a closer look you will find that they are still used in modern movies ... [Moderator]: 1930 audio-visual film introduced to China, China Mainland passed legislation, all movies must be pronounced in Mandarin, Mandarin is the official language of China. [Voiceover]: This has led many Cantonese staff members to leave China. Hong Kong has fewer restrictions here and a lot of films to film.With the outbreak of World War II and the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the movie industry was suspended and waited until the war was over and the turmoil was stabilized. The most loved hero in Chinese folklore slowly became the savior of the kung-fu movies. [Screen appears]: "Huang Feihong Biography third set --- bloody Liuhuaqiao" [Director / martial arts guide - Liu]: We all know that he is Huang Feihong. 【Screen Appears】: "Huang Feihong Divine V Fuxisha" [Director - Wu YuSen]: Huang Feihong represents honesty and integrity, he eliminated the villain, to help bullied people, no matter when and where he helped others People, never give in to evil forces. [Screen appears]: "brave without fear" Voiceover: he is still a great man, very sympathetic, not only to use superb medical treatment to save the patient, but he is also a patriotic hero. [Moderator]: Huang Feihong is a martial arts master, his freehand strokes deeply attracted the film director Hu Peng. [Voiceover]: Hu Peng break the tradition, please come to practice a real disciple to replace the Beijing opera actor and trained dancer, one of them, is Liu Jialiang master. [Liu Jialiang]: I learned Hongquan, that is, Hongmen Boxing Act. My teacher, that is, my father Liu Zhan. My father's master is Lin Shirong, who is the master of Lin Shirong? We all know that Huang Feihong. Who is Huang Feihong's master? Lu A mining. Who is Lu Acer's master? Good Master, he is a South Shaolin disciple. Of course, they really need me when Huang Feihong starts to move onto the movie screen because I learned Wu. At the beginning we really had to fight with real kung fu, and we were like that. [Moderator]: Actor Huang Feihong is Guan Dexing. 【Screen Appears】: "Huang Feihong Tiger Crane Wolf" [Liu]: We first talk about Kwan Tak Hing, he sang opera, is a Cantonese opera actor, at that time, when they cast, they like Guan Dexing body language With height, these are the true characteristics of Huang Feihong. 【Appears】: "Huang Feihong Drunk Batangas" [Liu]: Because he is not familiar with Kung Fu, my master and his brother have to teach him Kung Fu. Guan Dexing is very clever, after all, he is a Cantonese actor. [Moderator]: Huang Feihong's magic captures the hearts of Chinese fans, this magic has been extended to today, so that today's two martial arts stars in career shine: Cheng Long on comedy, in terms of drama Is the Jet Li ... [screen appears]: "Wu champion Yuan Fei" "drunk fist" [voice-over]: Guan Dexing took about ninety of Wong Fei-hung movie, fans in mind, he is the embodiment of Wong Fei-hung, It has become a legend itself. 【Appearance】: "Lin Shirong" [Voiceover]: He became a doctor after retirement, opened a pharmacy, but also taught people Kung Fu. [Moderator]: Even the filming of Huang Feihong by Guand Dexing is so popular that in the 1950s, women were still the real stars. [Actor - Pei Pei Pei]: I first filming, not a woman, in that movie I played a man.At that time, the film industry was just beginning to emerge. Movies were regarded as vulgar performances. The men with wives preferred their wife to watch a woman act. [Voiceover]: At that time female stars, there Zheng Peipei, Xiao Fangfang, Snowy and Chen Baozhu. They all play the role of men in the movie, and Asian society's attitude towards the movie has not changed since the 1920s. [Moderator]: 1950 with the early 1960s, there are two major movie companies: First, the well-known Cathay Pacific movie company; the other is ... ... Shaw Brothers. [Voiceover]: In the 1950s, Shaw built an isolated and self-sufficient blockbuster factory in Clear Water Bay in Hong Kong. It is itself a city, where people live and work with food and clothing. Scenery workers, directors, actors, props workers, photographers ... Everyone there is a film crew, and they live in a few quarters away. [Voiceover]: In the early 1950s, Zou Wenhuai joined Shaw Corporation, and reused, and his boss Shaw Shaw together, due to the film production technology and content standards to improve ... [Moderator]: Zou Wenhuai alert heart, Shaw Corporation Continue to shoot the popular swordsman story, but Zou Wenhuai and his director began to notice that the Japanese director, especially Akira Kurosawa. [Director - Ang Lee]: I think Shaw's intentional imitation of Kurosawa's movie, because at the time, that type of movie is very popular in Asia, they have far-reaching influence. Some are considered masterpieces of art, such as Kurosawa's movie. [Yuan Bin]: At that time, the Japanese film was very realistic in terms of narration, no matter when it was a fight or a sword. [Voiceover]: Kurosawa, is a great humanitarian, his movie theme strongly protest was popular fanatic nationalism, he is very brave. [Actor - Stephen SEG]: Kurosawa's classic masterpiece, full of his personal style, not only in the director's approach, but also includes the philosophy and spirit of martial arts level. Moderator: Shaw's management regularly screenings Kurosawa and other Japanese director's works, to the company's producers, writers and directors see that they understand the powerful story content and realistic action is possible to do To Three Shaw directors: Hu Jinquan, Zhang Che and Liu Jialiang were greatly influenced. The three directors changed the face of Kung Fu movies in many ways. [Wu YuSen]: Hu Jinquan and Chang Cheh have a great influence on contemporary Kung Fu movies because almost everyone imitates their work. [Pei Pei]: I think he is a very important figure for Hong Kong Kung Fu movies because he Kung Fu film completely changed the style, set a clear boundary. Kung Fu movies before the opera is Beijing Opera, from the "drunk Xia" Kung Fu movies are action movies, I think that is completely different ... [screen appears]: "Drunk Man" [Zheng Pei Pei]: I am very red, Yes, this movie changed my life, because after that, I made a lot of Kung Fu movies. Even if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," I'm still making Kung Fu movies, right? So it changed my life.[Screen appears]: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" [Lee An]: Of course, the most obvious is Hu Jinquan, I think he established a style for many things. The use of dark contrast, derived from the skills of Chinese ink painting, I think his many backgrounds, but also by the Peking Opera. I think most of his movies, at least those best masterpieces, the wonderful thing is that warm field, has a beautiful transition, that is the bridge in the Peking Opera. Big hero combines with the big bad guys in the background, Perak snapped, good guys won, the story ends. But the rhythm, the performing arts, the soundtrack part, the motion design and the pose, the rhythm, the bang bang, all the tempo ... I guess they are influenced by Hitchcock and Eisenstein, ha ha ... Wu YuSen: Apart from the beauty of movement, there is also a very strong drama tension in the film, so his work is very different from that of Chang Cheh because King Kong emphasized the romantic affection between men and women. However, Zhang Cheh's work is more important Integrity, fairness and men's emotions. [Moderator]: Director Che Cheh was heavily influenced by Kurosawa's realism and masculine narrative style. [Ang Lee]: In Chang Cheh's movie, women are not important at all, they are all men's cumbersome, most of them. Most women do not see the woman at all, and I think Chang Cheh does not care about women. He admires the beauty of men. [Producer - Zou Wenhuai]: At that time, most of the protagonist is a woman, "one arm" is the first to emphasize the actor starring in the movie. 【Appears】: "One-armed King" [Yu Ren-tai] "One-armed King" I think it is that deeply impressed me. It is of great significance to me because I had polio as a child, I think I am a disabled person, different from normal people. When I saw that movie, it was like being struck by lightning. You know, it's like "You got it!" Only one arm left to beat the best kung fu master in the world, my mind left a lot of the impression on that movie, grew up still can not forget. [Yuan Bin]: the use of others because of his incomplete prejudices to despise him, despise he is crippled, is his powerful. That concept is: the real use of the philosophy of martial arts. Moderator: The 1967 film "The One-Armed King" was quite a sensational movie at that time. Young people in Hong Kong and young people in the United States and Europe found a voice in the film that defied the authority. Zhang Che Understand this, for him, that is: he took the film's intention ... [picture]: "independence" film Wang Yu said: "Master, I no longer believe that you teach me the way I want to go My own way! "[Moderator]: He wants to express is not to let young become your weakness, to understand it and to be trained to make it into your strength, he knows that this is what he shot the Hong Kong version of the American classic Business card "adopted son who did not teach too." [Moderator]: "One arm of the King" is Zhang Che directed nearly one hundred films, most of his works have become a classic. 【Appearance】: "Golden Swallow" Voiceover:He is highly respected not just for combining bloody realism with intelligent insight. His shooting style and editing skills are also very much appreciated! He was influenced by the slow-motion footage Arthur Pan made in the 1967 movie "We Do not Have Tomorrow". Wu YuSen: I imitate many of Chang Cheh's features. When I had a chance to take my debut solo story in 1973, there was a lot of shadow in Chang Cheh's film . The spirit of the hero in my movie, his sense of justice, passion and straightforward, are very close to Zhang Che's works. 【Screen Appears】: "Wu YuSen": Zhang Cheh's film attaches great importance to the so-called sense of justness and justice, which makes me very much admire him. [Moderator]: Shaw film factory's third major director, is Liu Jialiang. He is a real master of martial arts, was born in a martial arts family, and has a profound origin Master. Master of the Good is a generation of masters, after he was burned in the Shaolin Temple, the first will be a martial arts imparted to the Beijing opera actor. [Moderator]: Liu Jialiang committed to the real life on the big screen, joined Liu Jialiang, we can completely glimpse Kung Fu movie two traditional backbone, that is, opera with the Shaolin Temple ... [Cast - Liu Jiahui]: In that No one ever wanted to film a monk ... No one wanted to make a monk-themed movie. Usually everyone took a hero-based Kung Fu movie. The protagonist in the film was either a big handsome guy or a big hero. Why some people will be so brave to enable the new actor - Liu Jiahui to play a bald monk it? [Screen appears]: "Shaolin 36 Gongfang" [Liu Jiahui]: No matter how good you play, it is useless, the monk film is not romantic men and women love, the theme of the hero Kung Fu movies have romantic men and women love, So at that time producer and director --- Liu Jia-liang insisted on using such a theme "no love story movie will be what kind of movie?", But the monk can not fall in love, what exactly do we want to shoot? The theme is the spiritual level of kung fu. The true kung fu style and the unwavering spirit of the monks made us finally finish the "36 Shaolin Power Room". [Liu Jia Liang]: "Shaolin Thirty-six Gongfang" I have to show a real effort, what is Kung Fu? Kung Fu not only by playing just a lot of kung fu moves are related to the senses. Six-eyes, ears to all directions. With all the weapons, everyone has to practice in all the power rooms: knife room, kicking room, eye room, ear room ... They have to practice in each room, so I come up with a idea of the human body, every A part, are moved by the movement, the feeling of movement, has its own magic. So I decided to show it, just in the "Shaolin Thirty-six Gongfang", the light sitting on the side of the body is unable to show Kung Fu, and your whole body can move. [Actor - Hui Ying Hong]: For other directors, this may be a very difficult thing, but I think it is not difficult for Director Liu Jia-liang, because he is called "Kung Fu Dictionary"! Wu YuSen:As far as I know, I think the so-called real martial arts, not teaching people how to kill others, or to fight others, the real martial arts is the heart of the guidelines and enthusiasm is how to train yourself become a virtuous, fair and equitable people. [Moderator]: Although Kung Fu movies in Asia more and more popular, but they have not yet entered the world movie market. Two major events took place in 1970, which changed the Kung Fu movie's speed very quickly. First, the film producer Zou Wenhuai left Shaw and he started his own film company with Golden Delicious: Golden Harvest Movie Company. [Zou Wenhuai]: In the late 60s, television started to become very popular in the United States. I think the management of Shaw think the same trend will swept across Hong Kong. They think they should cut down half of their filmmaking plans and put half their manpower ... There are funds into the television business. I do not agree with that. We left in 1970. In the first year, I thought we had four or five films. Well, we had four films in the first year. [Moderator]: Another major event in 1970, there is a man appeared ......... [Yu Ren Tai]: Li XiaoLong! [Yuan Bin]: Li XiaoLong! [Donnie Yen]: Li XiaoLong! [Huang Zhiqiang]: Li XiaoLong! Li Cheuk peach: Li XiaoLong! [Tang Ji Li]: Li XiaoLong! 【Li An】: Li XiaoLong! David Caledon: Li XiaoLong! [Steven Seagate]: Li XiaoLong! ........................... [Zou Wenhuai]: Li XiaoLong! 【Appearance】: "Raptors cross the river" 【Li An】: Until today, I still think that no one can be better than him! The spirit of fighting, his magic to show the full attraction, not only in his performance can be seen in his Kung Fu philosophy and way of life can be seen, it is very straightforward, very Westernized, very Selling fresh, ambitious feeling. Rather than repressed Chinese-style subtle attitude. [Moderator]: Li XiaoLong Kung Fu movies have a profound impact, in fact, he was born and raised in San Francisco, California. : Li XiaoLong was an actor before playing the martial arts star. I think he shot his first commercial at the age of 5. He started practicing at the age of ten. Did you know? His father is a Beijing opera actor, I mean, Li XiaoLong guy was born in the actress family. [Yuan Bin]: In fact, the first TV series is Li XiaoLong's "The Green Hornet," and one day I am watching this actor from Asia, wearing a mask, jumping up and down and flying to show art. [Moderator]: "Green Hornet" is a very popular episode, but the Americans were not ready to accept when Li XiaoLong protagonist. : I admire Li XiaoLong, and remember in an interview he said that this TV series was originally tailor-made for him, but because he is an Asian and has a Chinese Faces, when the American audience did not believe it. You know, they do not want nor want to see Asians as heroes. Moderator: Li XiaoLong left the United States, returned to his second motherland: Hong Kong. [Zou Wenhuai]:For the first time, Li XiaoLong cooperated with us and we signed his first film for filming in Bangkok. After starting the first day, the director called and said: "I want to change Li XiaoLong, because he will not be kung fu." I said, "Why?" He said: "Everyone in the cast knows that we now call him Lee Kick because he can only fly three times." So I flew to Bangkok to see how things were going and asked Ask Li XiaoLong what happened. [Picture appears]: "Tangshan big brother" [Zou Wenhuai]: Li XiaoLong said: "The director is a waste, because these guys are soldiers, only know that life is from, there is no real effort! If I really fight with them Five minutes ... What should I do? "[Zou Wenhuai]:" And, "he said," the way to play the three kicks is very powerful and able to settle them completely! "So I Looked at the film, I think I agree with him, so we quietly changed the director, really, the next thing we see. [Sammo Hung]: I think he affected every Chinese, as well as the staff of the film industry. His racial identity is very strong and everyone feels very excited. He came forward to be proud of himself as a Chinese and he was very strong about being Chinese. [Screen appears]: "Fist of Fury" [Yuan Bin]: I think Li XiaoLong ... Everyone knows that he is not just a martial arts star, he is not just a martial arts actor or superstar, his believing philosophy, what he wrote , Jeet Kune Do and his vision are far beyond the contemporary idea. Li XiaoLong: I said: "Let your thoughts become blank, invisible and colorless, just like water. If you put water in a cup, it will turn into a cup. Put the water in a bottle , It will look like a bottle; put it in the teapot, it will become the shape of the teapot.Water can carry a boat, but also capsize, you have to follow the water, my friend. "[Sammo Hung]: he The most special part is that he has his own character. He makes his character different from others in his acting style. He has a combination of Chinese style and Westerners style. His style is not entirely Chinese, but his style is not entirely Chinese. He combined elements of the West to express his loyalty to the country and to being a Chinese. See him, you do not just see an actor, but a very special person. Li XiaoLong: Personal style is not just about distinguishing each person, you know, because they have their own principles and principles become rules of behavior that you can not change. But if you have no style, you just say, "Oh, how can I express myself as a human being?" That way, it is impossible to create a personal style. Because personal style is individualized, it is a growing process. Now when I wave a fist, I learn to lean forward, hoping not to block all the cameras. I mean you have to swing your hips , Waved a punch, put all the power out, let this punch as a weapon. 【Li An】:I've never seen anyone change the rhythm of the fight so perfectly as he does, and even now they are designed and bang bang, which requires a sense of rhythm and no one can do the same with him . But his moves look more forceful and real, and more energetic, because every punch he knocks, every move he keeps, every rhythm he changes ... even a single look Great significance, that is really very attractive, with a high degree of entertaining and inspiration. 【Actor - Meng Hai】: His eyes are always looking forward. His moves are quite amazing. In the background part, they will make ping-pong sound and the sound of his fist will scare you to death. [Screen appears]: "Dragon battle" [Li XiaoLong]: I think so, OK? To me, the ultimate martial art, on behalf of the honest expression of self, now it is very difficult to do so, I mean to show me it is easy to put arrogant appearance. To completely feel that arrogant feeling, and then you feel cool, very powerful, I can put that feeling, you understand my meaning? You can be tricked by it, I can show you some beautiful moves to show you, but I honestly express myself, do not deceive myself, I can truly express myself, my friend, to do so very difficult! [Moderator]: Fans usually wonder why most of the Kung Fu movies are costume pieces, backgrounds are hundreds of years ago, for this issue, Li XiaoLong has a very simple answer ... Li XiaoLong: Now you You can not walk in the street or hit people, then do, your troubles big. You're done, I do not care how good you are ... Voiceover: Based on this belief, Li XiaoLong was the first reformer to interpret martial arts in the context of contemporary stories. [Moderator]: 1973 Li XiaoLong died young, died at the age of 32 died of cerebral edema. He only completed four films, but they let the world know Kung Fu movies, he just just got the world's attention, he died in the world ... [screen appears]: superstar Li XiaoLong died SUPERSTAR BRUCE LEE DIES star Li XiaoLong died in Hong Kong hospital Actor: Bruce Lee Dies In Hong Kong Hospital 【Moderator】: More than 20,000 fans participated in his funeral ... 【Director - Teddy Chen】: Everyone loves Li XiaoLong very much, in the United States, he is deeply rooted in the hearts of fans, The spirit is still with us. His movies are still showing. Everyone likes to see so much. We admire many places. I think he is the only kung fu master, whether in our showbiz or in Chinese showbiz. Not only is he the real Kung Fu martial star, he also made Kung Fu into the form of kung fu and ballet. He also incorporates the soul, for some people, he is a legend on the big screen! [Voiceover]: Sudden death of Li XiaoLong, Kung Fu film appeared a fault. ………………【host】:Suddenly, the future of Kung Fu movies is bleak. Fortunately, in 1973, a television series aired in the United States made kung fu martial arts a boon all over the world. Ironically, this series was originally expected to be performed by Li XiaoLong of. 【Appearance】: Cheng Long: After Li XiaoLong's death, the entire film industry went downhill. Everyone thinks Li XiaoLong is the best. Nobody else watches Kung Fu movies. At that time, I was very Disappointed. [Moderator]: Kung Fu movies in urgent need of a breakthrough, in the late 1970s, the opportunity has finally come, helping others is an old friend ... ... Beijing Opera and comedy. [Director - Yuan Kui]: In the theater, there is a troupe for everyone performing, such as Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, we all live together and practice the so-called Peking Opera. 【Appears】: "Fast Food Truck" 【Yuan Kui】: We all became stunt actors. Actually, the lead person was Sammo Hung, who was the first person to enter this line. Then Cheng Long, me, come again Yuan Biao. [Yuan Kui]: Sammo Hung left the play team three years earlier than us. 【Appear】: "Prodigal Aberdeen" 【Yuan Kui】: When we were studying Peking opera, his first acting troupe was considered as our big brother, so at that time, he had to take care of us, hehe. If he does not take care of us, he will have no food to eat, so he must take care of us. [Moderator]: "Seven Little Blessings" is a biographical film that describes the childhood activities of Cheng Long, Yuan Kuai, Yuan Biao and Sammo Hung, all of whom grew up in the Beijing opera troupe. [Sammo Hung]: The audience who watched this movie would feel such a hard life. For us who really live in it, the years of practice and the pains in it have only described a small part in the movie. 【Appears】: "Seven Little Fortunes" [Sammo Hung]: For us, it still can not express the true face. I said that the audience who watched the movie have felt that it is very bitter if we add more The real experience, the audience is likely to not accept the fact. So we decided to romanticize our experience, let the audience see the fragments of our childhood practice, I still think it was a great movie. [Moderator]: Sammo Hung, Yuan Kui and Yuan Biao have all made a sky, but the real fan favorite all over the world is Cheng Long. He did not go well at first, and the producers wanted to make Cheng Long a successor to Li XiaoLong. [Screen appears]: "New Fist of Fury," "a move half way into the rivers and lakes" "Stormy Double Meteor" "Flying Duoyuyunshan" "boxing fine" "Dragon Fist" [Moderator]: ... These films are box office Miserable ... [Zou Wenhuai]: Cheng Long is very different. He is totally different from Li XiaoLong. I think it is very wise for him to take that kind of drama. Cheng Long relies on comedy's sense of humor to draw the audience's attention and let them enjoy his martial arts. Moderator: Cheng Long's first breakthrough movie, using his strength, together with the sense of humor and imagination. [Cheng Long]: I've been thinking snake's mouth is why, OK? It will bite someone else's arm, OK, it is the snake's mouth, when you turn around, you see the snake's tongue.咝 ... I looked at the mirror after I came home and I started doing it. Everyone was sleeping, only I was practicing. 【Appears】: Cheng Long: It looks great in the movie. It is a new type, totally different from the Kung Fu movies of the past. Ah ... roar, and like in ... is a comedy, this type of movie is very popular. [Moderator]: Cheng Long finished "serpent" and then shot the "drunken fist", which made him Asia's number one red star. [Cheng Long]: Each temple has respect for the Buddha, each master has its own unique skills! 【Appears】: "Drunken Master" 【Moderator】: Cheng Long was influenced by the early American silent film stars Keaton Baster and Harard Lloyd.

Yuan Heping. [Ang Lee]: I noticed that when the energy and style of Kung Fu movies began to decline every 10 years, he would come up with a solution to let Kung Fu movies flourish for another decade, at least four or five years, and everyone is imitating he. [Donnie Yen]: Obviously, Yuan Heping is one of the founders. In fact, one of his specialties is stunt gymnastics. If you notice that in "Serpent" and some of his earlier works such as "Drunken Fist" and so on , There are a lot of stunt gymnastics movements.

He followed his father practice since childhood, his father was a Beijing opera actor, is a very influential martial arts design. So they all learned martial arts from Peking Opera ... just like Cheng Long and Sammo Hung. [Ang Lee]: He is a martial artist and cares very much about these things.

[Tom Cruise]: I love Wu YuSen, he is Wu YuSen, he is a big hero. [Wu YuSen]: My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.

If you really think so, knock on my chest, knocking quickly ah. There is empty, tin smith forgot to help me put on a Wu YuSen: I think I am him, and I feel very much about his role. In the second half of the story, he became very strong, so he gave I have a lot of encouragement. My favorite is the film's theme song - "At the other end of the rainbow", this song gave me a great encouragement in my heart, I think it represents the other side of the rainbow or have a very good world People should not give up their hope. They should never stop trying to find hope. At that time, I had a very hard life and it gave me great encouragement. [Moderator]: From "Wizard of Oz" to "true character", "face" and "impossible task second episode", we review his previous works, look Wu YuSen progress and change. He has taken Kung Fu movies, comedies, musicals, action films and made some of the most horrifying shots ever made. Wu YuSen: When I was five, my family moved to China from China. At that time my family was very poor. We lived in the slums, just over Shek Kip Mei. We slept on the streets and were nine years old Before, I had lived such a poor life, has no chance to go to primary school. But later we got help from the Church of Christ with an American family who sent money to church for me to go to school. At that time, I really enjoyed watching movies ... I entered the world of film. [Wu YuSen]: In addition to musicals, I watched a lot of Kung Fu movies, especially the film of Huang Feihong. Because I think I live in the same horror as hell, life is so gloomy and gloomy, there is no hope at all, because I live in a world full of evil and sin. The movie and the church, they are my only safe haven. [Moderator]: Wu YuSen will never forget how the "other side of the rainbow" has changed his violent childhood. He applied the content of the song to "changing faces." Wu YuSen: So in my movie, the role of design is sometimes between good and evil. When I was shooting a gunfire, I used the same feeling in Kung Fu movies but I am using a double gun, not a sword. For example, the design of the scene, the design of the characters and the design of those actions are very similar to the style of Kung Fu movie by Chang Cheh.My hero in the film will be shooting continuously. There will always be someone who will shoot a continuous shot. That feeling will have the shadow of Chang Che Kung Fu's film. When I deal with the hero in the film, he takes the gun and shoots Look, just like Kung Fu movie hero, but he took the sword. How he uses his sword and how he looks at the sword, the feeling is the same. So my personality will always stand on the side of justice, I will always believe that justice will eventually win!

Without it I can not survive, but with it, I feel myself hurting deeply. Of course, without it, I can not show the best, so I really like kung fu.

There are some very serious audience who want to see Kung Fu movies, that is its meaning. Wu YuSen: I hope in the future I can see more Chinese films that can take the essence of true traditional martial arts and make a fair and honest feeling so that it can shine in real life. [Sammo Hung]: Like Li XiaoLong, people all over the world know Li XiaoLong, but not everyone likes martial arts. They only like Li XiaoLong. Now people begin to appreciate martial arts, time is up. [Ang Lee]: I can not predict its course, but I believe that this type of movie will never disappear, at least in the Chinese world, it is always floating, but as long as some people say that Kung Fu movies will not work , Someone will find a way to make it a new stimulus, it will once again become popular.

Wu ... Xia ... it is like a leisurely atmosphere around you ... [Moderator]: In a powerful way that Wu! Man!
