The first part of the documentary "The Great Hero Hu Jinquan" is named "The Prophet has been here". Today, the trailer for the first part is announced. Hu Jinquan is as important as a prophet for the Chinese film industry. From the documentary, he interviewed many important filmmakers in the film industry, such as the superstars Xu Feng, Zheng Peipei, Sammo Hung, Shi Jun, Qin Pei, directors Lin Fudi, Wang Tong, etc. When talking about director Hu Jinquan, he was very unforgettable for his pursuit of perfect artistic personality and his almost versatile artistic ability to shoot movies. In addition, important film critics Jiao Xiongping, Wen Tianxiang and master photographers Li Pingbin who works behind the scenes, editing engineer Chen Xiaodong, well-known art stylists Huang Meiqing and Huang Wenying, etc., all analyzed the uniqueness of Hu Jinquan's film aesthetics.
Wen Tianxiang, a well-known film critic, recalled in an interview: Director Hu Jinquan once said that the title of "martial arts director" that is a must-have for Chinese action movies, which is a must-have for many years, was created and invented by him. It can be said that it has influenced the shooting of action movies across generations. Although Hu Jinquan does not have a foundation in martial arts, he has rich imaginations about shooting martial arts scenes. He will first make gestures and then ask martial arts guides to retouch the action scenes so that the action scenes are more exciting. With the help of CG special effects, he can shoot superhero works in the Chinese world in one move. The work "Longmen Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan not only set off a movie viewing craze in Chinese areas, but also influenced many famous Chinese directors. Wu Johnson smiled and said, "There are many people following the trend in the Hong Kong film industry, and I am one of them." Tsui Hark also said, "I am a result of Director Hu's soul pouring into me."
