There is a good habit in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Most people like to support their younger generations, such as Cheng Shaoqiu that year, and then christian Yunfa Andy Lau , and 
,000 Ziliang has supported Stephen Chow , Lin Jiadong , Jiang Haowen , etc. At the same time, there are many directors and apprentice combinations in the Hong Kong film industry. Some apprentices are not as good as masters, and some have surpassed masters, such as Hu Jinquan Ann Hui, Zhang Cheh John Woo, Wang Tianlin Johnnie To. They are the best master and apprentice combinations in Hong Kong!
First, let’s talk about Master Hu Jinquan, who was once famous in the international film industry. " Drunken Hero " made Zheng Peipei , and "The Heroes" made Xu Feng . At that time, Sammo Hung was also a supporting role in his movies and served as the deputy martial arts director. At the same time, Tsui Hark is also his fan. His college thesis was to study his movies, and later he even asked him to shoot "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Although he later disagrees, this did not affect Tsui Hark's respect for him. Tsui Hark's " New Longmen Inn " was remake from Master Hu.
Hun's most famous director disciple is Anh Hsu. She worked as an assistant to Hu Jinquan in the early years. She completed the English subtitles of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Later, when Hu Jinquan was filming "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", he also asked Anh Hsu to come. Ann Hui doesn’t need to introduce you more. She won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director the most times, as well as works such as "Woman Forty", "Days and Nights in Tsing Shui Wai", and " Taojie ".
Anhua also has a disciple, he is Guan Jinpeng, and has the blessing of many works such as "Ruan Lingyu", "Rouge Button", and "Lan Yu". Finally, he did not have the title of insulting his mentor. What’s more interesting is that both the master and the apprentice have been the director guests of " I Am an Actor " before.
After talking about Hu Jinquan, let’s take a look at another martial arts master named Zhang Che, who was as famous as him at Shaw Brothers. He is known as the originator of violent aesthetics and advocates masculinity. Zhang Che has many disciples, and the most famous ones are naturally Wang Yu , David Jiang , Dilong and Fu Sheng . However, today we will not talk about actors, but about directors.
Zhang Che's most proud director disciple is John Woo, who brought his violent aesthetics to the extreme and even made his name in Hollywood. His works are endlessly read, such as "The True Color of Heroes", " Crossing the World ", "Blooded Two Heroes", "Blooded Street", etc.
In addition to John Woo, Zhang Che has also trained directors such as Bao Xueli, Gui Zhihong, 发Ma , and Liu Jialiang . Everyone can take the lead and have made important contributions to Hong Kong films.
Hugh Jinquan has Xu Anhua, Zhang Che has John Woo, Wang Jing Had Wang Tianlin is amazing, there is a group of director apprentices, needless to say, Wang Jing, there are also Johnnie To, Lin Lingdong , Lin Delu, Huang Jianxun, Liu Shiyu , Pan Jiade, Tan Langchang, etc. Among them, Johnnie To and Lin Lingdong are the most familiar, and the Lin Lingdong Fengyun trilogy is enough to establish its position.
The most accomplished is Johnnie To, who can be said to be unique in the field of gangster films. The movies produced by Galaxy Image are even more popular among movie fans, "Gun Fire" "Dark War", "Dark Flower", "March of Society", "PTU", etc. Galaxy Image's main style is dark, black and cruel, and it is also full of a strong sense of fate.
Johnnie To is also relatively filial. After his master Wang Tianlin retired, he sometimes became addicted to drama. He would arrange a role for his master in the film, often like the uncle of the club, and would also give the master a big red envelope. Wang Tianlin's life is really worth it. Not only does he have a talented son, but he also has many talents all over the world.
Johnnie To also has apprentices, such as You Dazhi and You Naihai who also work in Galaxy Image. Of course, the ones that everyone is most familiar with are naturally Chen Musheng . However, Chen Musheng and Johnnie To have different styles. He prefers to pursue big scenes, such as " Stormtrooper's Rage Street " "New Police Story" "Men's True Colors", etc. (Chen Musheng on the far right)
of course there is also Zheng Baorui . He first followed Lin Lingdong as an associate director, and then studied with Johnnie To. He has now grown into the backbone director of Hong Kong films. Johnnie To once hoped that Zheng Baorui could partner with You Naihai and then replace himself with Wei Jiahui . Zheng Baorui also has works such as " Dog Bites Dog ", " Killing the Wolf 2", and "Accident", but in recent years, it has been more competitive with Journey to the West, and it is said that filming will continue.
Tsui Hark does not have a fixed master because he was studying movies at Texas University, but he was also influenced by directors such as Hu Jinquan, Zhang Cheung, and Long Gang . Tsui Hark also has several apprentices, and Chen Musheng has been guided by him. Li Rengang and Chen Jia on and Chen Jia on are also considered his apprentices. However, these two apprentices are now getting worse and worse, especially Chen Jia on March 1, which can no longer reach the heights of "The Legend of the Stories" and "The Legend of the Martial Arts" back then.
Although Chen Jiashang cannot surpass his master Tsui Hark, his apprentice Lin Chaoxian surpassed him. Lin Chaoxian used to be an assistant director with Chen Jiashang, participated in filming "False School Victory Dragon" and "Thunder Fire", and jointly filmed " Beast Detective " with Chen Jiashang. At present, Lin Chaoxian has grown into the director who can make blockbusters the most. The main theme movies such as " Mekong Operation " and " Red Sea Operation " are shining in his hands. Recently, he has started preparing for the blockbuster " Emergency Rescue ". Let's wait and see!
In addition to the above introduction, there are also master-apprentice combinations such as Gao Zhisen Gu Dezhao , Madon Xiong Li Dawei, Zheng Zeshi Ye Weixin. There was no perfect teaching mechanism in that era, and the directors were all working and studying on the spot, which led to the relationship between master and apprentice. By the way, what other master-apprentice combinations do you know? (The first one below is Gao Zhisen, the second one is Stephen Chow and Gu Dezhao)
