"Little Poisonous Dragon" Wu Mingcai Yuanting. In the 1970s and 1980s, people in Yuan's class used to add their own surname in front of the name given by their master, so Yuanting was also called Wu Yuanting. Wu Mingcai looks like a baby, but he actually joined Yu Zhanyuan's family earlier. He is the senior brother of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.
He left the Chinese Drama School around 1965 and entered the film industry. At that time, he was making films for Shaw Brothers and other companies. His performance in movies was mediocre, and later he worked as a martial arts instructor in Hu Jinquan's movies with Han Yingjie and others. He was in the right boat, and the tide lifted all boats, and the results were excellent. However, except for Hu Jinquan's movies, most of the other movies he participated in were so-so.
In the 1990s, King Hu fell into the dilemma of having no movies to make. Wu Mingcai and Sammo Hung, his disciples who had worked for him back then, came forward to support Hu Jinquan in filming "Painted Skin: Yin Yang Dharma King". But no one could have imagined that "Painting" would be Hu Jinquan's last work.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung’s family group, the Hongjiaban, became popular. Wu Mingcai, Yuen Biao and Yuanhua and others planned to form a team and use the "Yuanjiaban" banner. When we went out, the members at that time were: Wu Mingcai, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Fu, Yuan De, Yuan Kui, Yuan Chang, Yuan Bao and others. This group of people has their own abilities, but they are leaderless. Together they are just a ragtag group. They are far from using their strength. They have only made a few films such as "The Freeze", "Operation No Regrets", "Shanghai Tycoon Du Yuesheng", "Bi Gui" "Play" and a few other movies were stopped.
Since the 1990s, Wu Mingcai, who had his own film company, mostly only invested in making movies and rarely appeared in front of the screen. In 2007, Wu Mingcai put Hu Jinquan's "Loyalty and Martyrs" on the screen again. However, I can't trust the actors in this "New Loyalty and Martyrs", so I haven't watched it yet.
"Education of Love" Sammo Hung and Wu Mingcai

"Legend of the Mountain" Wu Mingcai
"The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion" Hu Jin, Wu Mingcai
"The Picture of Loyalty" Wu Mingcai, Bai Ying, Zhang Zhuanan, Zhang Yuanqiu, Lin Xiu, and Gan Jiafeng are all names used by Yuanqiu. Yuan Qiu's father was also from Beijing, Mainland China, and was friends with Yu Zhanyuan. After arriving in Hong Kong, he sent Yuan Qiu to Yu Zhanyuan's family because of the heavy family burden. Yuan Qiu started teaching at the age of 7, and among the hundreds of disciples accepted by Yu Zhanyuan, she ranked third. Later, the other two senior sisters immigrated to Canada and the United States, and she was involuntarily promoted to the senior sister of the Yuan family class.
After Yuan Qiu became a master, he also entered the film industry and worked as a martial arts stunt double for female stars. Yuan Qiu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she doesn't think she's a pretty girl. Later, she got a chance to play a leading role, but the company asked her to make a literary film, and she cursed the company for wanting her dead. In the early 1970s, she signed a contract with Jackie Chan at Dadi Pictures, but her results were mediocre. After Dadi collapsed, she made movies in Shaw Brothers and other companies, but her career was actually unsatisfactory. During this period, she married kung fu film director Lu Jungu (Wang Zhenyang) (that part The two of them collaborated a lot during that time), and then gradually withdrew from the film industry. Her sister Wen Xueer, who was taught kung fu by her, became famous and became a TV star.
It was not until 2003 that Yuen Qiu was spotted by Stephen Chow in "Kung Fu" that she really became popular. The role of "Charterer" in "Kung Fu" also won her the Best Supporting Actress at the 42nd Golden Horse Award. In the following years, there were many film appointments. However, after "Kung Fu", most of the movies Yuen Qiu participated in were bad movies like those of Wong Jing.
Yuan Qiu and Yuan De in Lu Jungu's "The Transformation of the Silkworm"; Yuan Qiu in "Five Claws and Eighteen Turns"; Liang Jiaren and Yuan Qiu in "New Flying Fox Story" play Hu Yidao and his wife. In 1962, the "Seven Little Fortunes" were able to participate in "Seven Overlords of Jiangnan", which she took the lead. She plays Zhang Yiba, Sammo Hung plays Zhang Erba, Yuen Ting Xiaoxiao plays Zhang Sanba, Jackie Chan is Zhang Liuba...
Yuan Fu only acted occasionally in the film industry and did not appear often. There was no news about her after the 1980s. It wasn't until some time ago that I discovered her name on a poster for Chinese Drama School teacher Li Shaohua's return speech in Hong Kong (she was one of the sponsors, and Sammo Hung was present to support). "Two Lakes and Eighteen Escorts" Sammo Hung, Yuen Lung and Zhu Yuanlong.
Sammo Hung comes from a film family. Grandpa Hong Zhonghao is a film director and director of a film studio, and grandma Qian Siying is a kung fu star.
Later Yu Zhanyuan founded the "Chinese Drama School", and the couple funded Yu Zhanyuan's expenses. They also gave Yu Zhanyuan their twins (Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon) and their eldest grandson Hong Jinbao. Teaching, Fatty Hong and his two uncles were called triplets at the time because they were about the same age.
After Sammo Hung became a master, he followed his interest and entered martial arts. At that time, his senior brother Han Yingjie (although Han Yingjie was Yu Zhanyuan’s eldest son-in-law, Sammo Hung and the others called him senior brother) took him and not only entered He worked as a martial arts instructor in King Hu's team and met Bruce Lee. King Hu and Bruce Lee's innovative ways of making movies and not sticking to conventions opened Sammo Hung's horizons and he learned a lot. Later he became a Hong Kong kung fu movie giant.
"Education of Love" Sammo Hung's first film. This movie, Zhu Yuanlong, was well received by children.

Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung congratulate Yu Zhan Yuan Dashou's "Seizing the Stick" Yuan Wen: Meng Liang and Meng Yuanwen. Jackie Chan and his younger brother. The child star era was quite impressive. In 1963's "The Monkey Soldiers", other senior brothers and sisters, including Sammo Hung and others, played the role of the big black monkey, and he was the only one who played the role of the little white monkey. In 1972, when he played "Er Gouzi" in "The Meeting of Heroes", he was already a villain.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Yuen Wen was highly praised for his role as the protagonist in some kung fu movies, such as "Seize the Stick" and "Dragon Tiger Gate". It just failed to take advantage of the trend, and then it ended up nowhere.
I sometimes think he looks like "Yuan Jia Ban" Wuzhi Gu Xuanzhao.
"Monkey Soldiers Huashan Rescue"
"Meeting of Heroes" Yuan Wen
In the late 1970s, Meng Yuanwen worked with Hong Kong's famous Cantonese opera actress "Plum Snow Poetry" ( Ah Na)'s love affair has attracted the attention of the Cantonese opera industry.

"Seizing the Stick" Yuan Wen, Qin Pan "Dharma Patriarch" Yuan Wu: Zhou Yuanwu. Yuan Wu mostly just does martial arts instruction. Later, I followed my senior brother Sammo Hung and worked in the Hong family class. Most of his achievements were made during the Hong family class - including: "Single Sword and Gun", "Scary", "Mr. Zombie", "Lucky Star High" Photo" etc. Meet (Hung Family Ban Yuen Wu)
He also participated in "Drunken Master 2" filmed by Jackie Chan for the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association.

"Fighting with a Single Sword and Killing the Gun" Chen Huiyi, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Wu, Zhong Fa Yuanlou, also known as Chen Gangsheng, Fang Hong Kong students, Chen Yuanlong. When he was a child, he was sent to Yu Zhanyuan's family by his parents. His reputation is far and wide, and he is the most glorious in the Yuan family class.
The film "Seven Little Fortunes", which tells the story of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan when they were young, is very interesting. It has been introduced several times, so you may wish to check it out.
Yuan family class, the circle is Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong to celebrate his birthday and accepted Wang Zehong as his disciple. I have always been in the entertainment industry, but my work is relatively trivial, such as scene notes, martial arts director, drama director, martial arts stand-in, etc., and I am rarely in front of the screen.
Yuan Ju took Yuan Qiu to audition for "Kung Fu", and Yuan Qiu, who was reading the newspaper in the back, was selected. Wu Yuanjun: Yu Zhanyuan has a unique vision and names each apprentice according to his characteristics. He got the word "Jun".
Yuan Jun signed a contract with Shaw Brothers in the late 1970s, and had a much better start than Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. At that time, he was praised as the protagonist, and he filmed "Five Tigers of Tangshan", "The Secret of the City", "The Buddhist Boy" "These, after Shaw Brothers cut production, he gradually became unable to gain a foothold in the film industry, and switched to filming TV series. In the late 1980s, he joined ATV, and later moved to Taiwan to develop (in 1984, he filmed "" with Lin Qingxia and Er Dongsheng" in Taiwan. "Lovers See Knife"), returned to ATV in the 1990s, and gradually drifted away from movies.
Played the role of Di Yun in "The Secret of the City".
"New Blood Sword" plays Qi Yun'ao. Yuen De in "Wu Lang Ba Gua Stick": Yuan De is too thin, and his movements and expressions are monkey-like. He doesn't look like a decent good guy. In "Wu Lang Bagua Stick", he was misunderstood by Hui Yinghong as a gangster and was almost killed. I guess he would be good as Sun Wukong.
People from the Yuan family class are naturally very skilled. In the early 1980s, Yuen Tak acted in many kung fu films with Shaw Brothers and other companies, and also played leading roles (such as "Betrayal"). At that time, he mostly collaborated with Lu Jungu and Chu Yuan, and he was both acting and He is a martial arts instructor. This habit has been maintained for more than ten or twenty years, but his identity is mostly as a martial arts instructor behind the scenes.
Among them, his cooperation with senior brother Yuan Kui is particularly eye-catching, including: "Fang Shiyu" series, "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", "Letter to Dad", "Scorpion Warrior", "New Fist of Fury" "(Stephen Chow), "Royal General", "Children of Troubled Times", "Gambler", "91 The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "92 The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Manga Dragon", "Naked Running", "Rose Rose" "I Love You", "Black Rose Betrothed to Golden Orchid", "Mouse is brave", "Full of courage", "Sparrow Flying Dragon", "Ma Yongzhen" (some members of the Yuan family team are dispatched)... and "Fang Shiyu" is also for The two won the 1994 Academy Awards for Best Action Design.
In recent years, Yuande's work has decreased, and the two films with the highest quality are probably Chen Jiashang's "2000 AD" and Jackie Chan's "The Myth".
Yuande and Yuanqiu play the killers in "The Transformation of the Silkworm".

As usual, there are NG shots of Jackie Chan at the end of "Project A". There is a section where Jackie Chan jumps from the air conditioner of a high-rise building and is then killed by Yuan Biao. Damn it, the scene where Yuan Biao recited the wrong lines and laughed had to be re-filmed. Jackie Chan was so angry that he screamed with a hood and said: Xia Lingzhen, I want to kill you...
Xia Lingzhen is Yuan Biao Biao's original name. Also known as Xia Yuanbiao. (Actually, there is another name: Ou Jinping)
As the three brothers who were famous in the Chinese world in the 1980s and 1990s, Yuan Biao has long been known to everyone. Likewise, there will be a special topic for him later, which will be discussed in detail later.
In recent years, Yuen Biao has been filming less and less. In 2006, he used a stand-in for some simple rolling movements in "Baby Project".
"Baby Project" Yuan Biao, the one wearing the black hood is Jackie Chan.
For Yuan Biao in "Shaolin Gate", Tian Jun asked him to pick up an arrow and shot him to death with one arrow.
Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung, Yu Zhanyuan, Yuan Kui. Sammo Hung was busy blowing out the candles on Yu Zhanyuan's birthday cake and forgot that he had a knife in his hand. Jackie Chan and others stretched out their hands to ask him to be careful not to hurt the master. At the age of 7, he went to the Chinese Drama School to study. After graduating, he and his fellow teachers went to work at Shaw Brothers. He and Tang Jia, the famous martial arts director at the time, worked together. Because of his superb skills, especially in somersaults, few people can match him. He has served as a stand-in for many celebrities, among which he is particularly famous for being the stand-in for Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee is superb in kung fu, but not very good in somersaults).
In 1986, Sammo Hung filmed "The Condor of the East", which gave Yuan Hua the opportunity to play the villain, and it was only then that he came to prominence. Therefore, Yuanhua was very grateful to Hong Pang. After playing the role, Yuen Wah played negative roles many times in Kung Fu movies. Many of his roles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and he is an outstanding supporting actor in Hong Kong. After entering the wireless industry in the 1990s, he also often went out to shoot movies. Three years ago, I filmed Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", and finally received institutional recognition and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. I was so excited that tears filled my eyes when I went on stage, and there was a round of applause from the audience.
"Police Story 3" Yuan Hua
When Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and Jackie Chan were at the Chinese Drama School
"Descendants of the Dragon" learned from Yue Fei, Yuan Hua Helped Stephen Chow to engrave "Heaven Is Love" Yuan Bin: After Yuan Bin became a martial artist, like Yuan Hua, he became a martial arts master with Tang Jia. Being hard-working and able to fight, he gradually had more and more opportunities to show his face. He and Yuan Hua often went out together to work as killers or bodyguards. After the collapse of Shaw Brothers, Yuan Bin collaborated with Tsui Hark, Cheng Siu-tung, and Johnnie To, and produced many popular action films, such as "A Lang's Story", "A Love Story", "A Chinese Ghost Story 3", "The East" "Invincible", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Lion King", "Wind of the King", "Green Snake" (invite Tang Jia to come out), "Knife", "Dragon City Annihilation" and so on, After the mid-to-late 1990s, I mainly worked at Galaxy Image and Johnnie To. Those masterpieces produced by Galaxy are their results, such as "Dark Flower", "Big Brother", "Very Sudden", and "Only One of Two" , "Big Event" and so on.
Nowadays, Yuan Bin often works in mainland China, filming some TV series.

In the late 1970s, he and Zhang Che were his close friends, but at that time, Zhang Che was already at the end of his strength, and Wei Bai and others failed to stand out and become red stars. However, Zhang Chewei Bai's "Five Poisons" is very good.
After that, Wei Bai filmed John Woo's "The Hero", "The Prodigal Son" and "Lam Sai Wing" with Sammo Hung, and "The Young Master" with Jackie Chan. After more than ten movies, the 1990s have not yet arrived. Wei Bai disappeared.

His more important job is to work as a martial arts director in wireless.
Yuanbao has been with TVB for 27 years and has directed "I'm Kind", "Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar", "Foshan Praise Master", etc., and is quite praised by people in the industry.
Two years ago, I was attacked while filming in Panyu, and my arms were broken while trying to protect the heroine in the film (the entertainment gossip newspapers were talking about Chen Haomin's affair with the woman of the gangster brother, but he was found, and Chen Haomin ran away. Yuan Bao stepped forward to cause this disaster). Yuan Bao was banned by Wireless without receiving compensation for his work injury. After that, Yuan Bao had no choice but to complain to TVB. Later the situation became unclear.
In recent years, Yuan Bao, whose face has been full of vicissitudes of life, seems to have moved back to the film industry. He was seen in Johnnie To's "Underworld" the year before last and this year's "The Disciple" by Er Dongsheng. Needless to say, such a face is not natural. There will be good guy characters.
"Underworld" Yuan Bao plays the role of a dinosaur
"The Disciple" Yuan Bao and Daniel Wu's real name is Yin Weiquan. Former name: Yuan Jinhui
Yuanhui's father, Yin Lingguang, was a disciple of the famous Cantonese opera teacher Xue Juexian, and he was also familiar with Yu Suqiu and others. Because of these relationships, Yuanhui was able to enter the Yuanjia class because Suqiu signed a guarantee. It was 1965 and Yuan Hui was 8 years old.
In 1974, after completing his apprenticeship, Yuen Fai joined the Shaw Brothers Film Company as a martial artist and a stuntman. In those years, he had some success, becoming a martial arts instructor and able to participate in some roles. As Shaw Brothers reduced production, Then he joined Wireless, also as a martial artist. At that time, he was mostly the stand-in for Jiang Dawei's wife, Li Linlin.
In 1991, Yuen Fai left TVB and went to Australia to teach boxing. Then he came back to filming, but that period made him feel sad. Yuen Hui said: "I filmed some nonsensical scenes. When I took them, I agreed to use martial arts, and finally asked me to do it together with the stunt double..."
After that, Yuan Hui went to the mainland to develop. The kung fu performances he designed were very popular and gradually became bigger. Even the opening ceremonies of Sanda King were participated in. From then on, he began to organize performances in both places.

Big brother Jackie Chan started filming in the 1950s, and later he also brought his younger brothers and others to work on the set. Born in 1930, he has been a martial arts master for decades and still participated in kung fu movies in the 1990s.
The sequel to "The Brave Cannon" Yuan Tai. It is not possible to take screenshots at the moment (if anyone has Liang Xiaolong's "Little Heroes", you can help me take one or two. Wang Yuantai plays Prince Sen)
He may be more active in the opera world. In his early years, he was still He acted in a few movies and then disappeared from the screen. I also saw his name again on the list of poster sponsors for his Yuanjia class teacher Li Shaohua's return to Hong Kong to give a speech. His original name was Guan Decai. In 1939, Xu Xiaochu established the "Shanghai Drama School Ruan" as a day school in Shanghai, and Guan Zhengliang's father, Guan Hongbin, was responsible for the co-ordination. At that time, only over 100 people were admitted out of 600 to 700 applicants. Due to the strictness of running the school, only over 40 people graduated, all of whom were apprentices of the "regular" generation, and Guan Zhengliang was one of them. (Actually, that period of history is quite interesting, but it’s not appropriate to talk about it here)
In 1948, Guan Hongbin took his people to perform in Taiwan. After the mainland was liberated, everyone stayed in Taiwan from then on (including Taiwanese Mei Lanfang) Gu Zhengqiu and others (known as Gu Zhengqiu and others); his son Guan Zhengliang came to Hong Kong and became a disciple of Zhan Yuan. In addition to performing in Peking Opera, he also began to participate in movies and provide martial arts instruction. On weekdays, he also helped Master Zhan Yuan train the public. apprentice.
In 1966, he also established the "Longguo Film Company" as the boss (this company did not make many films). Because of his, Yu Zhanyuan's youngest daughter Yu Suqiu, eldest son-in-law Han Yingjie and others' development in the film industry, they paved the way for many apprentices in the Yuan family class.
Kwan Ching-liang is loved by everyone for his willingness to teach younger generations. A few years ago, a "Salute to Action Director" party was held in Hong Kong, and Liu Jialiang did not forget to invite Guan Ching-liang to attend.
