Whether watching TV series or watching movies, we are paying more attention to the protagonist, happy and worried about their smiles, and we remember the names of the protagonists, but we don't know that those inconspicuous supporting roles also have a lot of potential.
Stephen Chow, we are all familiar with it, and his nonsense movie is the favorite of many people, if you want to list one, many people will blurt out "Kung Fu".
"Kung Fu" can be described as the pinnacle of Stephen Chow. Entering the millennium, a mind retreated behind the scenes of Zhou Xingchi, the amount of filming suddenly decreased, and "Kung Fu" was applied at this time.
This is a drama directed and performed by Stephen Chow himself, and it is also his tribute to his idol Bruce Lee. This film carries the dream of Zhou Xingchi, for this drama he can be described as painstaking, from preparation to the completion of the film for three years, but also cost tens of millions of yuan.
In the early 21st century, investing tens of millions in a small movie was already a considerable budget.
Perhaps the investment of funds is not enough to show Chow's sincerity to this film, but his selection and invitation to actors shows sincerity.
Or are there a lot of once-famous martial arts stars, and some of them have been in the shadows for many years, such as Yuan Qiu, who plays the charter wife, and Liang Xiaolong, who plays the evil god of the fire cloud, etc. How easy is it to invite these people out of the mountains? It is not an exaggeration to say that the three Gu Maolu are not exaggerated!
What is unexpected is that even the supporting roles, Zhao Zhiling, the girly tailor in the "Pig Cage City Wall", have a lot of potential, and even have a lot of weight.
He runs the "Grand View Dress", I don't know whether it is the woman who does a good job, or robs the woman to make a living, so he is contaminated with femininity and has become a woman, but a big old man is always a shy, let people look speechless, and what is even more unbearable is that there is a sullen red bottom pants hidden under the white shorts...
What is surprising is that such a girly person in the play is a hidden master, but the fact that Zhao Zhiling is not only a master in the play, but also a master outside the play!
Zhao Zhiling was born in 1943 in a martial arts family, the father of Zhao Jiao. Zhao Zhiling's kung fu was taught by his father himself, and his father, Teacher Zhao, was from Lin Shirong, who was Huang Feihong's apprentice, in other words, Zhao Zhiling was Huang Feihong's apprentice.
Zhao Zhiling, who was born in such a family, was destined to be extraordinary. He has been a big player in Shaw's films since he was 16 years old, filming "The Serpentine Trickster" and "The Battle of the Seven Tigers", and is a kung fu film actor in the 1970s, who has starred in more than 70 films.
Although he is mostly a supporting role in the film, the actors he has cooperated with are well-known, such as Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and so on.
In real life, Zhao Zhiling is not just a senior martial artist, but a generation of Hongquan masters, when Zhao Zhiling was on a par with Bruce Lee in the American martial arts world, has been teaching Hong Quan in the United States, he founded the "International Hong Quan Zhao Zhiling National Art Association" in overseas popularity, now he has more than 200,000 disciples in the world, overseas has great influence.
Zhao Zhiling, such a martial arts master, will play a hidden tailor in Chow Sing Chi's "Kung Fu" in 2004, only because he was touched by Chow Sing Chi's love for kung fu, and Chow Sing Chi also has great respect for Zhao Zhiling, always calling him a master in front of others, and Zhao Zhiling is therefore willing to become Chow Sing Chi's "royal supporting role".
Since then, he has made cameo appearances in the old ghost in "Dragon and Phoenix Shop", the soldier in "Yueguang Treasure Box", and the second fire in "Journey to the West and Descending Demons".
However, when it comes to kung fu, we still feel that it is too mysterious, especially the tailor played by Zhao Zhiling actually uses an iron ring as a weapon, and is invincible to one enemy and a hundred, in fact, this martial art is not fictionalized as needed by the movie plot.
This iron ring in Zhao Zhiling's hand is actually a traditional weapon in history, which can be attacked and retreated, and is very flexible.
With the iron ring to fight this set of punches is called clematis, and when punching, you usually take off your shirt and increase your momentum, when the iron ring is integrated with the arm, the power of the iron ring is no less than our common sword.
As the saying goes, "the world's martial arts out of Shaolin", this is not a bad thing, and the Hong Xiguan who created hong fist is a Shaolin disciple.
Huang Feihong's Hong Fist was learned by his fathers Huang Qiying and Lin Fucheng. Huang Qiying's master is Lu Acai, the legendary Shaolin Five Elders and Supreme Monk, and the anti-QingHong disciple in reality. Huang Qiying passed on to his son Huang Feihong the Pentaform Fist, the I-Character Fuhu Fist, the Ten-Shaped Fist, the Tiger Crane Double Fist, the Goro Bagua Stick, the Plum Blossom Gun, and the Zimu Knife.
Huang Feihong's Clematis was taught to Him by Lin Fucheng, the eldest disciple of Tieqiao San (the head of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong) by Fighting Righteousness, and Lin taught him in order to repay his kindness, and also taught Huang Feihong the flying stunt.
Zhao Zhiling's learning of clematis is derived from this, Chinese martial arts are profound and profound, I hope that it will continue to be long-standing in the future, and I hope that Chinese martial arts can not only be famous overseas, but also enter the lives of chinese people, rather than gradually becoming legends!
