Yesterday, I flipped out Shaolin Temple and watched it again. Every shot and every frame in it can evoke too many memories for us. When I saw Li Lianjie , Hu Jianqiang and others appear in the film one by one, I couldn't help but think, what kind of changes have been made to those heroic teenagers back then?
In the 1980s, it was their joint efforts that created the golden age of Chinese martial arts films.
We can't forget their ruthless moves in the movie, and we can't forget their youthful and invincible looks.
So now, when 40 years have passed, how have the handsome guys who performed well in martial arts films in the 1980s have changed? Today, let us carry out a review and review through the form of comparison between the past and the present.
"Treasures Beyond the Wall"
1981
Kung Fu Boys: Zhang Fengyi, Wang Qun In fact, it is not. Before it, there is another very good one, that is, "Treasure Outside the Wall". The kung fu boys in
"Treasure Beyond the Wall" are Zhang Fengyi and Wang Qun.
Zhang Fengyi was still a student in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy at the time. I think the reason why director Wu De chose him is because he has a foundation in opera. "Treasure Beyond the Wall" was Zhang Fengyi's first film, when he was 25 years old.
However, although the movie of "Treasure Beyond the Wall" was filmed early, it was released very late, and the production was not particularly well-made, so Zhang Fengyi did not become popular because of it. But later he and Siqin Gaowa starred in " Camel Xiangzi ", which made him famous.
Since then, Zhang Fengyi has gradually become a powerful acting veteran and a well-recognized "tough guy star" through the presentation of a series of classic film and television works. At the age of 64, he is still magnificent, and his style has not diminished.
Through "Treasures Beyond the Wall", we also got to know the actor Wang Qun, who played "Magic Hand Zhang" in the film.
Wang Qun has liked to perform since he was a child. He entered Beijing Shichahai Sports School at the age of 9 and became Li Lianjie's senior brother. He learned martial arts and served as the captain. Later, Wang Qun also participated in "Zhen San" , " Heroes and Thirteen Sisters ", "God Beggar", "Golden Dart Huang Tianba", "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs", " Generation Gun King " , " Shaolin Heroes ( Huang Feihong )" and other film and television dramas. I think he is not only the king of kung fu, but also very superb in acting, especially Jin Er in the TV series "Zhen San", which is unforgettable to this day.
Too bad he passed away too early. On January 3, 2008, he died of illness at the age of 48.
"Shaolin Temple"
1982
Kung Fu Boys: Jet Li, Hu Jianqiang, Sun Jiankui
In 1982, a "Shaolin Temple" has influenced several generations and also started the craze of martial arts films in the 1980s. The few handsome kung fu guys who appeared in the film are even more unforgettable.
Especially Jet Li, starting from "Shaolin Temple", he punched and kicked all the way, broke into Hong Kong, broke into Hollywood, and then passed "Once Upon a Time", " Fang Shiyu ", " Jingwu Hero ", "Heroes" ", " Huo Yuanjia ", " Expendables " and a series of film works, making himself a real "King of Kung Fu". Now Li Lianjie is 58 years old, the young man who used to be sunny and handsome, is now full of vicissitudes.It's really timeless.
Relatively speaking, Hu Jianqiang and Sun Jiankui are not as famous as Jet Li.
Hu Jianqiang played the role of Wukong in "Shaolin Temple". In particular, a set of "ground punches" is dazzling. This handsome guy from Zhejiang has since participated in movies such as " Shaolin Kid " and " Shaolin Shaolin ". Although he is also handsome, he did not get more opportunities to act as the leading role. Later, he and his wife went to Argentina and the United States to run a kung fu school.
Sun Jiankui is from Qingdao, Shandong. In "Shaolin Temple", he played the role of Se Kong, and the drunken stick he showed is still in everyone's mind. stick technique has always been Sun Jiankui's strength, and it has been reflected in many films since then, such as "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin", " Yellow River Hero ", " Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng ", " New Shaolin Five Patriarchs ", " White Eyed Hero ", " Gan Nineteen Sisters " and so on.
Today, Sun Jiankui is still active in the film and television industry, serving as martial arts instructor and motion design. If there is a suitable role, it will also play.
" Wudang "
983
Kung Fu Kid:Zhao Changjun
"Shaolin Temple" released in 1982 achieved a crowd-pleasing effect, and the next year's "Wudang" also achieved good box office results, while Kung Fu Kid Zhao Changjun also went into the audience's sight.
In terms of kung fu alone, I think Zhao Changjun is not inferior to Jet Li at all. But his development in the field of film and television is obviously not as impressive as that of Jet Li. There is probably a chance problem here.Zhao Changjun later starred in " sword king five ", " bloody sword ", "Shenzhou first sword", " sea lamp legend " and other film and television dramas. Then, he put his main energy into martial arts teaching. Now Zhao Changjun is 60 years old and his mental state is very good.
"Heroes from Ancient Times Come Out of Boys"
1983
Kung Fu Boys: Xiong Changgui, Hu Yilin, Li Dianfang, Ren Gang, Xue Jian
In 1983, a "Heroes from Ancient Times Out of Boys" also made our eyes shine. The handsome guys who came out of this film also left a deep impression on us.
Xiong Changgui, who first played Tie Biao, was said to be more handsome than Jet Li back then. Yes, he is handsome and heroic. And the stick technique he showed in the movie is like a meteor chasing the moon, with a rainbow of momentum. The only regret is that Xiong Changgui is not tall. After that, he starred in TV dramas such as "Master Hai Deng", " New Shaolin Temple ", " Chef ", etc., and then took up the work of martial arts coach. He also served as the captain of the Sichuan Wushu Team.
Hu Yilin is from the Sichuan Wushu Team, and played the role of the villain Gao Ming in "Heroes from Ancient Times". The tiger fist he showed in the film is really impressive. Since then, he has played roles in movies such as "Southern Boxer", " ", "The East's Number One Killer", and "Bagua Lotus Palm". Then he also took up the position of martial arts coach and trained many students.
Li Dianfang plays Sima Li in "The Heroes From Ancient Times". The drunken sword displayed by him is very expressive, his hands are fast and his eyes are fast. His elegant, free and easy way is amazing.Li Dianfang later became an actor of Emei Film Studio , and starred in films such as "Emei Pirates", "Elder Tongtian", "The Secret History of Blood Drops", and then entered Sichuan Vocational College of Art to engage in teaching work.
plays Fan Long's Ren Gang, who is also a master. He is good at the Tongjiquan of the Northern School. In 1985, he won the first batch of "Wuying" class titles in China. Since 1998, he has been the head coach of the Sichuan Wushu Team. In 2002, he served as the head coach of the National Wushu Team. Today he is the executive chairman of the Sichuan Wushu Association.
Xue Jian, who played the big leopard in "Heroes from Ancient Times", is from the Beijing Martial Arts Team and is the junior apprentice of Jet Li, Wu Jing and others. After that, he also acted in a TV series "Shaolin Dream", and then set up a film and television training school. The boy who was 14 years old at the time is now over half a hundred years old.
"The King of the South"
1984
Kung Fu Kid: Qiu Jianguo
"The King of the South", do you still remember the movie? However, Qiu Jianguo, who played the leading actor Nanquan King Lin Hainan in the film, left a deep impression on us.
Qiu Jianguo has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is highly skilled in martial arts. In addition, he has also appeared in film and television dramas such as "The Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry", "Chinese Martial Arts", "Iron Bridge III", "Once Upon a Time", "Zhuangzhuang Mountains and Rivers", "Tai Chi Master", "New Shaolin Temple", etc. He has always been very dedicated. However, it is sad that in 1998, during the filming of "New Shaolin Temple", he was diagnosed with a recurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer, and then died of illness not long afterward. In the words of his mentor Zhang Xinyan , it was when he died. , only 37 years old.
"Yuejia Junior General"
1984
Kung Fu Kid: Xunfeng, Zhang Anji
In my impression, Xunfeng seems to have changed his name several times. But unfortunately, he has never been popular.
In 1984, two films starring Xunfeng were released, one was " New Fang Shiyu ", and the other was "Yue Family Junior General". Relatively speaking, "Little General of the Yue Family" left a deeper impression on us. And Yue Yun played by Xunfeng (also known as Shi Baohua), and Yue Lei played by Zhang Anji, these two sunshine teenagers are unforgettable by virtue of their handsome appearance and extraordinary skills.
Since then, Xunfeng has appeared in film and television dramas such as "The Secret Edict of the Kingdom", "The King of Swords Five", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "New Jade Blood Sword" and "Youth Bao Qingtian", but their influence is very limited. Now 62 years old, he has changed his name to Xun Yifeng, but his current situation is unknown.
Zhang Anji, who played Yue Lei, was a martial arts athlete in Jiangsu Province and won the fencing championship. Later also starred in " black box bloody ". In 2005, Zhang Anji founded the US-China Martial Arts Academy in the United States. Judging from his past and present photos, he has changed a lot.
" Shaolin lay disciple "
1985
Kung Fu boy: Fan Dongyu
Fan Dongyu was also very popular in the 1980s and participated in many movies, such as playing Cheng Yipeng in "Shaolin lay disciple", in "The Three Heroes of the Ruan Family" Played Ruan Xiaoqi, etc., and also participated in movies such as "Killer Love", "Dragon Stunt Team", "Mirage", and TV series such as "A Generation of Heroes". He later served as a martial arts instructor and director for many films. achieved good results.
"Kapok Cassock"
1985
Kung Fu Boy: Xu Xiangdong, Yu Rongguang
1985's "Kapok Cascade" is also a representative work of the 1980s. The two kung fu boys in the film, Xu Xiangdong and Yu Rongguang, both performed well. Especially Xu Xiangdong, his "Eagle Claw Fist" might shake the martial arts world. In recent years, Xu Xiangdong has also achieved good results in the development of the film and television industry, and his masterpieces are frequent. Today, at the age of 60, he is still active in front of the film and television camera. Not long ago, we also saw the role of Han Derang played by him in the drama "Grand Song Palace Ci". It seems to have become an old drama bone.
And Yu Rongguang is another surprise brought to us in "Kapok Robe". But he didn't come from martial arts, but like Zhang Fengyi, he studied opera since elementary school, and he also developed a real skill. He later became a blockbuster for his leading role in "Mirage". Now he is 62 years old and has switched careers as a director.
" Great Shanghai 1937"
1986
Kung Fu boy: Xu Xiaojian, Dong Zhihua The deepest impression is that the two male protagonists in the film are so handsome and handsome.
The male leads of the two films are Xu Xiaojian and Dong Zhihua.
Xu Xiaojian has starred in movies such as " Xi'an Killing ", "Great Shanghai 1937", "Crossing the River Dragon" and other films, and later became a director and directed works such as "Eternal Dragon Slayer".
Dong Zhihua was originally a martial arts actor in the Peking Opera House of China, and later became a martial arts star. He has performed well in films such as "Xi'an Massacre", "Crossing the River Dragon", "Supernatural Powers", and "Great Shanghai 1937".
Later, he also played the role of the fried ghost in the movie " Kung Fu " directed by Stephen Chow . Dong Zhihua's wife is a well-known artist agent, Wang Jinghua, and his son is Dong Zijian, who is quite eye-catching in the film and television circle.
In fact, there are many male stars in martial arts films in the 1980s. We only mention 19 of them today. More fans and friends are welcome to add the rest. And among these kung fu boys, who is the most memorable and most admired by you? You are welcome to let us know through the message area. I'm Yaqing. Thank you again for your attention.
