Nowadays, the Marvel Universe and DC Universe are very popular, and the concept of "film and television universe" is y rooted in people's hearts.

What is the "movie universe" is that multiple movies or TV shows **** enjoy the same world background, details, characters, environments, or plots are related, in other words, it's like multiple stories developed within the same framework.

Now, the domestic film and television also pulled up the "film and television universe" of the war, but do not know, as early as the 1960s and 1970s, there is a character, through a number of film and television series works outlined, constitutes a flesh and blood of the character image, with his character derived from a whole "kung fu movie universe".

This man, the famous Wong Fei Hung.

(Jet Li as Wong Fei-hung)

July 9 is the date of his birth on the Internet.

It's important to interject here that there have been conflicting opinions about the exact dates of Wong Fei Hung's birth and death. There is that he was born in 1847, there is that he was born in 1856. Online information shows that Huang Fei-hong was born on July 9, 1856, the media previously reported Huang Fei-hong's hometown of Foshan, Guangdong Province, also in 1856 to calculate his birth date.

Huang Fei-hong, martial arts mastery, spirited and righteous, he is a chivalrous man in the context of the late Qing Dynasty, but also witnessed the fate of the family and the country, is a top of the sky, self-improvement of the image of the martial artist.

These are Huang Feihong series of movies portrayed him, it is these films and television works, constituting the public's overall impression of Huang Feihong. According to incomplete statistics, Huang Feihong series of film and television works, so far more than 100.

In 2018, there are two more Huang Feihong movies starring Zhao Wenzhuo, one is "Huang Feihong's North and South Heroes", and the other is "Huang Feihong's Sea of Rage".

So, compared with the "Wong Fei Hung Cinematic Universe", Marvel DC can only be inferior.

Why is it that Wong Fei-hung has hundreds of movies and TV shows, and is still creating them today?

First of all, it was the actor, Kwan Tak-hing, who laid the groundwork for a good audience in the early years.

In the early days of the "Wong Fei Hung" movie series, Kwan Tak Hing portrayed a very classic Wong Fei Hung screen image.

Kwan Tak-hing was born in 1905 and died in 1999. In the 94 years of his legendary life, Kwan Tak-hsing has been engaged in film and television performances for more than 60 years, starring in more than 130 films, of which more than 80 "Huang Fei-hong" series of film and television works have been filmed.

Since 1946, he has been writing and adapting "The Legend of Wong Fei-hung" into the "Wong Fei-hung" movie series, and the first set of "The Legend of Wong Fei-hung" started shooting in 1949.

He was also the first actor to star as Wong Fei Hung in film and television. Most of the Wong Fei Hung played by Kwan Tak Hing is about the jungle story of Wong Fei Hung who meets injustice and pulls out his sword to help.

Many people regard his Wong Fei Hung as a classic, but it is a pity that not many young people know his old man today.

The second point is that director Tsui Hark joined forces with Jet Li and Zhao Wenzhuo to further promote the "Wong Fei Hung" movie series.

(Kwan Tak-hing and Jet Li)

Nowadays, the most widely circulated and well-received Wong Fei Hung movie and TV series is director Tsui Hark's Wong Fei Hung series.

Unlike others, director Tsui Hark's version of Wong Fei-hung almost drastically altered the character's original life trajectory, and he involved Wong Fei-hung in the era of the torrent, with the help of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century when the turbulent times, Wong Fei-hung placed in the context of the era of change.

In Tsui Hark's first film, Wong Fei-hung (Jet Li) fights against the foreigners and their henchmen to protect the Chinese women and the country.

In Wong Fei-hung II, Wong Fei-hung (Jet Li) meets Sun Wen (Zhang Tielin) and helps them escape.

In "Huang Feihong three: Lion King", the foreign enemy invasion is imminent, Li Hongzhang, but to host the "Lion King" tournament, known as the stage of internecine strife, under the helpless, Huang Feihong (played by Jet Li) in person, appealing to the various sects of the *** with the fight against the enemy.

After getting the gold medal, he told Lord Li: "In the opinion of the small people, we do not only need to practice martial arts to strengthen the body to resist foreign enemies, it is more important to open up the road of speech, the rule of martial arts, that is the way of the country's wealth and the people's strength. ...... This gold medal, I will give you as a souvenir! "

In director Tsui Hark's work, directly to the "Wong Fei Hung" this character's original image, subversion and rebirth!

The original that chivalrous, holding the injustice of Wong Fei-hung, became a national destiny as the weight of the patriotic national heroes of the iron shoulder to bear the righteousness.

Note: Tsui Hark's film studio **** has the rights to seven "Wong Fei Hung" series of films and TV dramas, respectively:

There is also another movie, "Wong Fei Hung's Young Man of the Iron Horses" (directed by Yuen Wo Ping and starring Donnie Yen, which is about Wong Fei Hung's father, Wong Ki Ying)

(The one who was injured that year and insisted on filming).

It can be said that the character of "Wong Fei Hung" began to become a "regular" in film and television dramas 70 years ago, and its existence has witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong's kung fu movies.

"Wong Fei-hung" this character, so often on the screen, more carrying the national chivalry and patriotic feelings.

In 2014, Peng Yuyan also starred in "Huang Feihong's Heroes Have Dreams", playing Huang Feihong.

The real Wong Fei-hung, born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, his father is one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" Huang Qi-ying, at the age of three, he was with his father to learn martial arts, at the age of six or seven years old, he could be with his father to break into the world.

At the age of sixteen, Wong Fei Hung opened a martial arts school and became a master of martial arts, and then became famous, playing an important role in the popularization of Hung Gar Kung Fu, with many outstanding disciples under his tutelage.

Huang Fei-hung died, because of the family's four walls, can not afford to bury him, his female disciple Deng Xiuqiong funded to help, buried at the foot of the Baiyun Mountain, his wife Mok Kwai-lan with his two sons also in Deng Xiuqiong, Lam Sai-wing (Huang Fei-hung's disciples) and other people to help, moved to Hong Kong, open the Museum of Teaching Apprenticeship, to continue to teach the kung fu of Huang Fei-hung.

Having said that, it also leads to the third point of so many of Wong Fei Hung's movie and TV works, an important character: Lin Shirong.

Lin Shirong is one of the direct disciples of Wong Fei Hung, a lifetime of teaching more than ten thousand people, but also published the "Gongzhi Fuhuquan", "Tiger and Crane Double Shaped Fist", "Iron Wire Fist" and other boxing manuals. His disciples, with several for the film and television of Huang Feihong made an important contribution.

(Sammo Hung once played Lam Sai Wing in a movie)

One of Lam Sai Wing's disciples, Chu Yu Chai, compiled the "Farewell to Wong Fei Hung" after his death, which was serialized in newspapers starting in 1933. Although there are many fictionalized aspects in the story, it gives an exhaustive account of the legendary experience of Wong Fei Hung and introduces the deeds of Wong's father, Wong Ki Ying, his master, Lam Fook Shing, his disciples, Leung Foon and Lam Sai Wing, as well as a number of famous martial arts masters.

Later, Zhu Yuzhai once again solicited the deeds of Wong Fei-hung, written as "Wong Fei-hung Jianghu Bieji" (also known as "Wong Fei-hung foot true record") published. This time the impact is quite large, affecting a number of novelists published novels on the subject of Huang Feihong, also welcomed by a large number of readers.

This is one of them.

The second is that Lam Sai-wing studied under Wong Fei-hung for more than twenty years, and in his later years he remained in Hong Kong.

In addition to Zhu Yuzhai, Lin Shirong's disciple was another disciple named Liu Zhan, who, as a grandson of Wong Fei Hung's disciple, also made a great contribution to the filming of Wong Fei Hung.

Liu Cham, a renowned action film director who often played his master Lam Sai Wing in his films, also trained a number of martial arts directors, including his son, Lau Kar-leung and Lau Kar-wing ......

Among them, Lau Kar-leung in particular contributed a lot to the

Among them, Liu Ka Leung was particularly instrumental in the golden age of Hong Kong kung fu movies, and in 1953, he starred in his first movie, Wong Fei Hung, and carried the "IP" forward.

Among them, in 1994's Drunken Fist II, Jackie Chan played Wong Fei-hung, Dillon played Wong's father Wong Kei-ying, and Lau Kar-leung starred as martial arts master Fook Man-ki, staging a life-and-death struggle between national hero Wong Fei-hung and foreign looters to protect China's ancient heritage, which has also become a classic.

It is worth mentioning that Drunken Fist II was also selected by Time Magazine as one of the "100 Best Movies of All Time" in 2005, one of the four Chinese-language films selected, the other three being Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine, Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Forest, and Hu Jinquan's Chivalrous Lady.

It was the son of the apprentice grandson, Lau Kar-leung, who teamed up with Jackie Chan to make this eye-opening and admirable Wong Fei-hung kung fu movie for foreigners.

With novels and stories to lead the way, and a grandson's son who has become a top martial arts instructor in the film industry, how can a film adaptation of Wong Fei Hung not be rich?

Thanks to them, so that a generation of patriotic martial arts master Wong Fei Hung, through such colorful film and television works, affect the world.
