Member introduction Yuan Heping
There are many people in our country named: Chen Jiefang, Li Jianjun, Zhang Guoqing, mostly because they happened to meet Liberation Day, Army Day, and National Day when they were born day. This seems to be a habit of Chinese people in naming. Yuan Heping was born in 1945, when Japan surrendered and the war ushered in peace, so Yuan Xiaotian named his son that way. Yuan Heping, also known as Yuan Big Eye, has long been famous as the world's leading martial arts instructor. Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren
Yuan Xiangren is the one who likes to be public in the low-key Yuan family. However, there is always a reason for being public. Yuan Xiangren does a good job in front of the camera, whether he is a beggar or a drunkard with both physical and mental qualities. , or the cross-dressing old woman who pretends to be a ghost or a horse (Ouchi Secret Agent Linglingfa, Qimen Dunjia, Tianshi Chuixie) all left a deep impression on me... Yuan Xiangren
Yuan Xiangren, also known as Yuan Changren, he was born A little later than Yuan Heping, but he became famous a little earlier than Yuan Heping. He was already a stand-in star as early as the martial arts days. In the late 1960s, he began to act as a martial arts instructor, several years before Yuan Heping took over. At that time, Yuan Xiangren followed his senior brother Tang Jia and worked as a martial arts director in Chang Cheh's "Bodyguard", "Revenge", "The Knight" and other films. By the 1970s, he was already well-known in Shaw Brothers. During this period, he worked with famous directors such as Chu Yuan and He Menghua. They have collaborated on many masterpieces, such as "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Hong Kong Mysteries".
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Taiwanese kung fu movies were on the rise, and Yuan Xiangren traveled to Hong Kong and Taiwan. At this time, Yuan Heping was re-employed by Jiahe, and the other brothers reduced their work outside the home and united to help their eldest brother. With the help of Jiahe, Yuan Heping formed the "Peace Film Company", and Yuan Xiangren participated in the "Peace Group" at that time. Most of his creations range from "The Brave Man Has No Fear", "Buddha Palm Arhat Fist", "Qi Men Dun Jia" to "Huo Yuan Jia" (1982), "Ghost Horse Master" and so on. The banner of the Yuan family class was launched.
With the closure of "Peace Film", Yuan's family was in trouble, and Yuan Heping began to break out everywhere. Yuan Xiangren followed his elder brother in the war, and he was energetic enough to find another way to fight in the Eighth Route Army. In the 1990s, Yuen Cheung-yan was involved in a wide range of projects. He made comedies, slapsticks, ghost movies, kung fu movies, and martial arts directors, actors, and planners. In the past twenty years, he has made small films as well as big-money masterpieces. For the Yuan family today, He has made great contributions to his career achievements.
Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Xinyi are the first members of the Yuan family to win the Academy Award for Best Action Design. In addition to directing "Daredevil" and "Charlie's Angels 2" , "The Banquet", filming "Kung Fu", and most of them participated in the filming of TV series. Yuan Xinyi
Also known as Yuan Shunyi. He also started practicing martial arts in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1970s, he followed Yuan Heping to Taiwan to develop, and has been with Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren ever since. The conscientious Yuan Xinyi is an important founder of the Yuan family class, but he rarely takes the lead, and more often appears as a deputy to help his brothers - even when Hong Kong was filming three to four hundred kung fu and martial arts movies a year. , and he didn’t start anew. Probably due to personality. Yuan Xinyi
Yuan Xinyi looks old and tough, wears clothes, and is particularly good at playing devils, bullies, and bandits. However, in fact, Yuan Xinyi also played a loyal and honest person at the beginning, and he was also the protagonist, such as Yuan Jiaban invested in "Buddha's Palm" and "North and South Drunken Master" which struck while the iron was hot, but Yuan Xinyi was not as lucky as Jackie Chan to become popular. Later, he mostly played villains, but the result was that he was decent and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. .
Starting in the mid-to-late 1990s, after filming "Iron Horse" and "Ouchi Secret Agent Linglingfa", Yuan Xinyi rarely appeared in front of the screen, and more often he was a real person. Working behind the scenes. Yuan Richu
Like several of his brothers, Yuan Richu started his career as a martial arts master after studying martial arts at home. He was more fortunate. He first worked as a martial arts instructor with Yuan Heping and others. Within a few years, "Peace Film" was established, and filming required The protagonist, Yuan Heping, and the others took a fancy to this thin and agile younger brother and decided to promote him as a new kung fu star.
Yuan Richu
Although Yuan Jiaban racked his brains and played all kinds of tricks in the design of movie themes and kung fu, and Yuan Richu tried his best, "Qi Men Dun Jia", "Huo Yuanjia" (82), "The Heavenly Master" After several Kung Fu films, fantasy and monster films from the early Republic of China, such as "The Evil" and "The Ghost Horse", Yuan Richu did not become a big star. After the arrival of Donnie Yen, who had a better appearance, the Yuan family also changed the target of their support. Yuan Richu took the second and third positions from then on.
In the late 1980s, Yuan Richu slowly withdrew from the film industry after participating in films such as "The Dragon Slayer" and "Royal Sisters 3 and 4". I wonder if Yuan Richu was deeply influenced by Yuan Jiaban's Taoist books "The Heavenly Master Confronts the Evil" and "The Ghost Horse Heavenly Master". Later, he unexpectedly entered a Taoist temple and became a Taoist priest. Yuan Longju
Yuan Xiaotian’s seventh son. Yuan Longju
Yuan Longju and Yuan Xiaotian went out to make movies in the 1970s and 1980s. One old man and one young man made their way into the world. Several movies were made without the participation of other brothers from the Yuan family. As everyone knows later, Yuan Longju failed to get ahead. After more than ten years, he joined the Yuan family team (mostly with the third eldest Yuan Xiangren), but he did not stand out and seemed unknown. Among the movies with his name, Stephen Chow's "The Warriors" is one of the more famous ones. Yuan Zhenyang
His original name was Yuan Zhenwei, Yuan Zhenwei, and later he changed his name to Yuan Zhenyang.
Yuan Zhenyang is Yuan Heping's cousin, and he is one of the Yuan family members with special ideas. He also started as a martial arts master, stayed in Taiwan, and then joined Yuan Heping's team, and together they created films such as "Drunken Master", "Snake Shaped Hand", "Lam Sai Wing", "Buddha's Palm Arhat Fist", "Peace After the establishment of "Film", Yuan Zhenyang became a director on his own. His films "Bo Niu" and "Rivals" in the early 1980s changed the Yuan family's style of only designing kung fu and martial arts. The themes were football, and break dancing, which were rare in the film industry. Football and dance are integrated into the movements designed by Yuan Jiaban and become completely new. It’s just that this fresh theme cannot win by surprise.
After the Yuan family "joined" Sammo Hung's Debao, Yuan Zhenyang was also reused. He served as the action director for several of Sammo Hung's films "Dragon Play with Phoenix" and "The Two Heroes", and also As a director, he made "Dragon" and "Royal Sisters 3". These films were very impressive and achieved quite good results.
Just as his career was booming, in 1994 Yuan Zhenyang directed a Buddhist-themed film "Bodhidharma" which was rarely made. He was inspired by the Buddhist message in the film and became a monk after seeing through the world of mortals. After staying in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for about seven years, I don’t know why, but I saw that the Buddha had returned to the world, and returned to Hong Kong to be with his family.
Although he wasted several years, his early efforts were enough for him to leave his name in action movies. Zhao Zhongxing
Zhao Zhongxing worked at Shaw Brothers in the 1970s and filmed Chang Cheh's "The Condor", and then went to Taiwan to develop. At that time, he worked with Ke Shouliang and others as a martial artist. In the 1980s, he returned to Hong Kong and entered the film industry. He was one of the main creators of Yuan Heping's early films such as "The Brave Man", "Heavenly Master Crashes the Evil" and "Qi Men Dun Jia". He left Yuan Heping's team in the mid-to-late 1980s and went to Taiwan to develop, and also formed a group. The martial arts instruction team of the "Zhao Family Class" did not develop, and around 1990, after a few silent action movies, he disappeared together with him. Donnie Yen
In the early 1980s, Yuen Woo-Ping was preparing to shoot a movie called "Laughing Tai Chi" and was looking for new actors to star in it. As it happened, Yuan Heping's sister Yuan Su'e was the apprentice of Donnie Yen's mother. Donnie Yen's mother, Mai Baochan, was a master of Tai Chi. Donnie Yen had practiced martial arts with his mother since he was a child. At that time, he was studying in Beijing, so he had a good foundation. Therefore, Yuan Su'e recommended Donnie Yen to her younger brother Yuan Heping. Donnie Yen
After meeting, Yuan Heping greatly admired this young man who had just won the double championship of weapons and boxing in the 1981 National Martial Arts Competition. Since then, the Yuan family has a new member.
Donnie Yen not only stars in Yuan Family Class, but also participates in martial arts coaching.
At first, "Laughing Tai Chi" created by Yuan Jiaban for him followed some of the routines of Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master", the subject matter was outdated, and it was not suitable for Donnie Yen's style; and "The Enemy" was half foreign and half earthy, making Donnie Yen look neither fish nor fowl. (Looking back at Donnie Yen, he could laugh to the ground); several fashion action films such as "Slay the Dragon", "Royal Sisters 4" and "Money Laundering" are suitable for Donnie Yen's image and action style, and have produced many impressive films. , Donnie Yen rose to fame through this.
However, it was Tsui Hark who left a deep impression on the audience. His "Once Upon a Time in China" and "New Dragon Inn" are widely circulated. Donnie Yen played two villains. These two first-class kung fu images amazed the audience. According to Donnie Yen, the "cloth stick" by Na Lan Yuan Shu in Once Upon a Time was talked about by kung fu fans. According to Donnie Yen, it was his creative idea, Yuen Woo-Ping's design.
Immediately after starring in three period kung fu films by Yuen Woo-Ping, "Su Qier", "Iron Horse" and "Wing Chun", the master and apprentice each had their own busy schedules and parted ways. So far, we have not cooperated again for nearly fifteen years. Gu Xuanzhao
It is said that Gu Xuanzhao is Yu Zhanyuan's apprentice and the younger brother of Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and others. I'm not sure about this. Gu Xuanzhao was originally a martial artist with Xu Xiaoming. In the 1980s, he and Xu Xiaoming filmed "Kapok Kasaya", "Mirage", "Water", etc. He also had many collaborations with Lin Di'an. In the early 1990s, he filmed with Yuan Xiangren. "Once Upon a Time", "Buddha Lucky Star", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", young and promising, are getting more and more attention, and have become the main generals of the Yuan family in attacking cities and villages for more than ten years.
