Hu Jinquan was born in 1932. He is a famous Hong Kong actor and director. He directed " Drunk Hero ", "Hanwo", "Dragon Gate Inn" and other films in the 1960s and 1970s, which caused a sensation. Among them, "Hanwo" won the Best Technology Award at the Cannes Film Festival that year, which is the pinnacle of martial arts films. "Dragon Gate Inn" and "Dragon Gate Inn" have been remade many times. In 1987, Hu Jinquan himself was named one of the "Five Directors in the World" and can even be compared with Kurosawa Akira in Asia.
In my opinion, Hu Jinquan can almost be called the greatest martial arts film director in the history of Chinese films. When it comes to the status of Hong Kong films, only Li Hanxiang can compare with it. Hu Jinquan's works can be regarded as the pioneer of martial arts films. They evolved from Peking Opera and honed materials from traditional Chinese culture, so that their works are simple, natural and magnificent. In addition, the concept of "literary martial arts" and movie style derived from Hu Jinquan's works have pushed martial arts films to the height of art.
Hu Jinquan's movie is always amazing. Given Hu’s strict control of aesthetics, every frame of his film is like an ink painting, and the classical elements contained in it can also be called the essence of the “literary martial arts” style. In terms of character creation, Hu Jinquan completely unified the image of a literati and a knight for thousands of years. Among them, the portrayal of Confucian hero is vividly revealed on paper, which is a masterpiece.
Hun-Qinquan has been filming dozens of movies such as "The Legend of the Goddess", "Loyalty and Martyrdom", "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain", and "Swordsman". The style involves martial arts, magic, supernaturalism and palace fighting. Among them, the image inheritance of Chinese classical culture is even more admirable, and his creative style also influenced the younger directors, including Anh Hui, Tsui Hark , Ang Lee and Chang Ai-jia, etc. With the improvement of film restoration technology, we hope we will see more and better and higher-quality and high-definition versions of Hu Jinquan’s movies.
