It is said that it was Sammo Hung who really circled the title "Master Xing".
Before Sammo Hung called out Star Master, although many people in the Hong Kong film industry called Star Master from Ceng Zhiwei in The Banquet of the Giants to Fui-On Shing, Stephen Chow's most widely known title at the public level was Star Boy.
It was not until an industry gathering that Sammo Hung said to Stephen Chow, "Xing Zi, being called Big Brother can no longer represent your current position in the film industry. You can only be called Master Xing!" With the seal of this movie mobile phone, the name of Master Xing fell to the ground.
Sammo Hung's name is Stephen Chow Xing Ye, and his weight is naturally different. When Jing Wong filmed "Big Shanghai", he once said that only two people could stand Chow Yun Fat's kneeling, one was his father Wang Tianlin, and the other was Sammo Hung.
When Sammo Hung was fighting Kung Fu with Bruce Lee, the idol of Xing Ye, Xing Ye was still practicing iron sand palms in the frying pan at home, and the audience might not have seen the performance of king of comedy, a talented and talented person, if Mother Xing hadn't stopped.
However, it's the Hong Kong film mobile phone with the stamp of Star Master, because Kung Fu and Star Master left a bitter past.
What is even more unexpected is that after Kung Fu, there is no Kung Fu.
In the past 2 years, apart from The Grandmaster by Sunglasses King, the only two kung fu films that can be made in Chinese movies are kill the wolf and Ip Man 2, in which both Sammo Hung participated and served as martial arts director.
A king of comedy and a Hong Kong mobile phone have different ways, and it is difficult to work together. However, between the intertwined fate and confrontation, * * * has maintained the final dignity of Chinese kung fu films.
after that, the aesthetic slow mirror of the traffic people rules everything.
And Sammo Hung and Master Xing are both old. If Master Xing doesn't break his word, Kung Fu should be the last Kung Fu comedy starring Stephen Chow, who practiced martial arts when he was young.
And Sammo Hung, who has lost weight recently, probably can't stand on the table with Donnie Yen for 3 rounds like Ip Man 2.
Don't talk about Sammo Hung. Last year, Donnie Yen, 56, said that Ip Man 4 was his last kung fu film.
Kung Fu pays attention to boxing, fearing the young, but where is the young?
At that time, Sammo Hung, the elder brother of the Seven Little Happiness School, was 68 years old, Jackie Chan was 66 years old, and Yuan Biao, the youngest, was 62 years old. Stephen Chow, 57 years old.
kung fu, two words, one horizontal and one vertical. It's a pity that behind the "Kung Fu" feud, there is the ultimate fate of Hong Kong-made Kung Fu movies.
What's the truth about the feud between Sammo Hung and Master Xing? Yuan Wah hit the nail on the head
Stephen Chow was called Master Xing for the first time. It was in 199' s Gambling Saint that Zuo Songxing, who he played, appeared at a critical moment and was called "Master Xing" by Wu Junru. At that time, "Gambling Saint" was a hit, winning 41 million box office, beating Jackie Chan Sammo Hung to become the box office champion.
Ten years later, when Master Xing really became Master Xing, he didn't expect to trigger a Hong Kong film case with Sammo Hung.
At that time, the original martial arts instructor of Master Xing's Kung Fu was Sammo Hung. It is said that two people had dinner to discuss the script, and Sammo Hung took a bite of Master Xing. Finally, Stephen Chow sighed helplessly and said, Call me Star Boy.
However, only one third of this cooperation has been carried out. In the film, the fight between Tiexianquan, Goro Bagua Stick and Tan Leg was designed by Sammo Hung, which was also the result of communication between Stephen Chow and Sammo Hung.
However, when everything was filmed, Stephen Chow only said "This is not what I want".
Afterwards, Sammo Hung told the outside world that Stephen Chow had a bad temper, and said that Stephen Chow called him directly to tell him not to go.
That's where the golden sentence "You can't just treat yourself as a human being and treat others as dogs" comes from.
but this story is actually an rashomon.
Later, an insider broke the news. In fact, after Sammo Hung left, Stephen Chow called Sammo Hung several times, but Sammo Hung said that he had been bitten by several bags and needed to go to the hospital for treatment. In desperation, Stephen Chow had to find Yuan Heping to top the bag.
However, Sammo Hung said: It was a hot summer, and a few clips had just been filmed. Sammo Hung had been bitten by a lot of bags, so he had to ask for leave from the crew to go to the hospital for treatment.
Although the two men broke up because of Kung Fu, Stephen Chow added Sammo Hung's name at the end of the film and gave him his due pay, not a penny less.
When someone asked Yuan Heping what he thought of Master Xing, he said, "I don't think Stephen Chow is so difficult to get along with. Everyone has different ideas. He must have his own ideas as a director. The actor's performance is not ideal. It is normal for his director to ask for a remake. I think this request is not too much, but he is strict with the actor's acting. "
Perhaps it was another Yuan Wah who traveled all over Qian Shan with Chinese kungfu movies-
"Actually, it is impossible to say who is right or wrong between them. Stephen Chow's ideas are jumping. Sometimes, Stephen Chow rejected all the plays that everyone discussed last night, and even deleted all the previous ones this morning. It's ok once or twice. How can Sammo Hung stand it?" But Stephen Chow's grasp of the audience is really accurate. He can clearly know what the audience wants to see and what they like to see.
more importantly, this sentence-"not everyone can be the second child".
Perhaps this is the most reasonable explanation for the Hong Kong film Rashomon.
some people may ask, if Sammo Hung can't tolerate it, Yuan Heping can tolerate it?
But don't forget how Yuan Heping came to be the world's number one weapon.
When I was filming "Huang Feihong 2" with Tsui Hark, Johnson's ideas were as numerous as the stars in the sky. He changed nine photography directors and filmed for eight months, and all the requirements of Yuan Heping were met.
When filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Ang Lee, Ang Lee asked Chow Yun Fat and Zhang Ziyi to fight on bamboo, and Yuan Heping was so angry that it was a scholar's boasting. As a result, there was a classic bamboo forest confrontation.
When filming "The Grandmaster" with Wong Kar-wai, Wong Kar-wai called Edwin Leong, the apprentice of Ip Man, and took it on Yuan Heping before shooting. Edwin Leong shook his head. "Have you ever seen a real fight? It's all one stroke. You hit someone and missed, and the next second you fall down." Yuan Heping asked: "One or two moves will be done. Will you buy a ticket?" So noisy, the play was filmed, and Edwin Leong praised Yuan Heping as the first finger.
Yuan Heping can bear it, but Sammo Hung can't.
However, nature played tricks on people. Later, the media asked Sammo Hung again. He said that he was sick at that time and the crew had no choice but to find someone to cover for him. Those past events were all exaggerated by the media.
gratitude and grudges, just like that, fall into the Jianghu of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies with the wind.
The people in the story, on the other hand, say goodbye to each other and complete their final mission of Chinese Kung Fu movies.
From kill the wolf to Ip Man 2, the "last battle" between Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung
Sammo Hung once left that kung fu Jianghu.
After Huang Feihong's Lion in the Western Regions in 1997, Sammo Hung stopped directing movies for 2 years. In the late 199s, Hong Kong films suffered a cold spell, so he switched to help the bank collect cars, earning a car in 6 yuan.
American CBS invited him to make a drama, and the producer was Jackie Chan's old partner Tang Jili, so he really went there and made a TV series "Dragon Crossing the River", with a cool character name, Longshan Tiger. American screenwriters probably think it's fierce to use the zodiac as a name.
As soon as the result was broadcast, it was really fierce, and the ratings ranked first in the wireless TV programs at the same time in the United States.
Unfortunately, in the second season, CBS began to be a demon, and talk show star Arsenio Hall turned into the protagonist, and the scene turned to focus on Chinese actress Hu Kaili. Sammo Hung's role ended up lying in the hospital, and Longshan Tiger didn't show off. How can the drama be good?
Sure enough, the ratings plummeted in the second quarter, and Sammo Hung and his wife Gao Lihong flew back to Hong Kong. From then on, they no longer fought in Hollywood like Jackie Chan. Hong Kong films were his rivers and lakes.
But he had to wait. In 25, a new director named Ye Weixin asked him to play the villain, and the action director was Donnie Yen who emphasized close combat.
Donnie Yen's demand is just two words: really fight.
In the whole movie, Donnie Yen mainly fights with two people, one is Jason Wu, who is at the peak of his physical fitness, and the other is Sammo Hung, who was 53 years old.
Jason Wu vs. Donnie Yen, Donnie Yen's stick was a real stick, and Wu Jing's sword was a fake, which was Jason Wu's worst fight since filming.
The last decisive battle was Donnie Yen versus Sammo Hung.
Later, Ye Weixin, the director, recalled that scene, because the fight between Brother Bao and Zi Dan was all about real kung fu, and they both liked the fight scene from fist to flesh. When Jinbao made a film in his early days, he left a whole body of pain because of his desperate play. Brother Bao blocked Zidan's foot with his foot, which led to the recurrence of the old injury and made it difficult to stand. Even so, Brother Bao still gritted his teeth and finished the filming of the play.
In the last scene, Sammo Hung's eldest brother, Tiger, made great efforts to knock Donnie Yen's policeman out of the glass and landed in the car where his pregnant wife was sitting.
Since then, Donnie Yen, the "strongest in the universe", has never lost to any opponent in the film.
The sparring was so brilliant that they filmed the sequel to kill the wolf with different teams, but all the audience were eager to see them fight again.
In 21, it was Ye Weixin who made this hope come true. This year, Sammo Hung, 58, was invited by Ye Weixin to be the action director-Ip Man 2.
after IP Man 2, there is another classic kung fu film in Chinese movies-The Master of the Generation. On the whole, it is naturally more brilliant, but if it comes to single-game confrontation, it is better than the Master of the Generation with ideas. There is absolutely no scene that is more brilliant than the action scene of IP Man 2-
Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung's desktop.
In the movie, Ip Man accepted a challenge to burn incense in a restaurant, and the last pass was personally checked by Master Hong. The two men fought inextricably. Under the action design of Sammo Hung, Hong Quan was vigorous and magnificent, and it was still neck and neck until the incense was burned out.
The scene was filmed for 8 days.
The whole scene is taken from the "Knife Forest" in the ancient Wulin confrontation. Sammo Hung is designed on the basis of plum blossom piles, and there are many square wooden benches beside the frustum. All the square benches are turned upside down and placed on the ground, and Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung are standing on the frustum.
Although hanging Weiya can solve the fall caused by imbalance, the two actors are fighting on the table after all, and slight shaking will cause the table to tremble. Each stool is only a few centimeters for the actors to rest on, and they may fall and get injured if they are not careful.
At that time, Sammo Hung and Donnie Yen, who were nearly 6 years old, tried to recruit for eight days. In the last scene, the serial boxing was filmed in the end, and all the real kung fu actors appeared. At that time, all the on-site staff were dumbfounded, as if watching the real martial arts duel, not to mention the audience was watching the version with sound effects on the big screen.
After filming, director Ye Weixin said that it must be a classic action scene.
Ye Weixin is right. Ten years after Chinese Kung Fu movies, there is no such wonderful real Kung Fu duel.
Because this is the brilliance of real kung fu that belongs to Chinese kung fu movies alone.
Sammo Hung has been worthy of the best action direction in the 28th Academy Awards for this action design alone.
But Sammo Hung's adventure in filming Ip Man 2 didn't stop there.
When filming the highlight of the fight with foreign champions, he was punched by British actor Darren Shahlavi, who was 23 years younger than him, and fainted on the spot. After waking up, he tried to move his limbs. "I think it's nothing serious." Ok, then keep shooting.
The media praised him as old and strong. With a wave of his hand, he said, "I'm not a tough guy either. Hundreds of people from the crew are waiting for me there."
It doesn't matter how many hours the top stream of this era keeps countless people waiting for him. The first thing to do when you wake up is not to let the crew wait. Old-school filmmakers are better than old-school filmmakers after all.
Also in this scene, Master Hong, played by him, clung to the rope of the ring until he was finally killed, and never let go. All the audience remembered Sammo Hung's line, "I can endure it for my life, but I can't insult China Wushu."
Respect, of course, comes from Sammo Hung's identity, but it's also these Jianghu people who punched and punched from the era of Hong Kong-made kung fu movies in the 197s, and they definitely deserve this respect.
The most flexible fat man in Hong Kong movies can't fight, and the kung fu movies are getting old
But this is the last time that this "grandmaster" of Hong Kong movies shines so brightly on the big screen.
after all, this is the fate of kung fu movies.
Some people say that Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung promoted the golden age of Hong Kong-made kung fu films. More precisely, the time also selected the two brothers.
Starting from Jingwumen in the 197s, Chinese Kung Fu movies portrayed Zhen Chen as an angry Kung Fu hero in order to break the cultural signboard of "the sick man of East Asia". Bruce Lee used kung fu to open a new type of export.
From the death of Bruce Lee to the rise of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, comedy was integrated into kung fu films. Later, Tsui Hark injected feelings of home and country into the "Huang Feihong" series, while Ang Lee reflected on Chinese human ethics in kung fu martial arts films, and Stephen Chow recreated kung fu comedies.
Since the new century, the series of kill the wolf and Ip Man have brought the final glory. Although the seven blessings of that year were not all taken, they were never absent, which made the Hong Kong-style kung fu legend be strongly inherited.
In their time, Hong Kong-made kung fu films were developing by leaps and bounds, and the creation of Hong Kong-made kung fu films was also the most vigorous stage. Under the giant screen of the times, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and Stephen Chow were called "bi-weekly success" and were considered as the men who best represented Hong Kong films, and Sammo Hung films became the brightest corner mark that could not be missed in the golden age of Hong Kong-made kung fu films.
when the tide comes, it will push people to the forefront, and when the tide goes, individuals will naturally follow it.
However, it is under the influence of these old and strong kung fu veterans that Hong Kong-made kung fu films, which are in fragile and adverse circumstances, can bounce back again and again.
Sammo Hung's last action play, directed and acted by himself, was My Grandpa the Secret Agent.
Shi Tian, Mai Jia and Tsui Hark, the old buddies of that year, formed a crowd to help out. Between shots, Sammo Hung sat with several old friends who came to make guest appearances. They either chat or don't have to say anything, just look up at the sky and "enjoy the air"
Thirty years ago, the "New Art City", "Jiahe" and "Garbo" companies they represented were well-known gold-lettered signboards, which together accounted for half of the golden age of Hong Kong films.
Now, Sammo Hung feels that they are as old as themselves.
Don't talk about them. Andy Lau, who worked with him in the "Fuxing" series, made a guest appearance.
