"Seven Little Happiness" is not only a Peking Opera, but also a troupe, and it is also the floorboard of Yu Zhanyuan's favorite pupil. Many friends think that "seven little blessings" refer to seven people, including Jackie Chan, but it's actually more than that.
It turns out that in a Peking Opera performance, Master Yu chose Yuan Lou, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuan Wu and Tai as the protagonists of seven minor pranks (note: Jackie Chan's stage name at that time was Yuan Lou). Because the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan took this opportunity to form the "Seven Little Messs".
The Seven Little Happiness Troupe has fourteen members. In addition to the seven people just mentioned, there are Yuan De, Yuan Jun, Yuan Bin, Yuan Zhen, Yuanbao, Yuan Qiu and others. Only with the passage of time, looking back at this group of other disciples, Yuan Jun, Thailand and Yuan Wu disappeared in the early 1980s.
Yuan Zhen and Yuanbao are only in the film industry, unknown; Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Wah, Yuan De and Yuan Bin have become the most famous figures in the Hong Kong film industry, so the "seven little blessings" in the eyes of the public are naturally aimed at them.

Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were first famous for Seven Little Blessings, while Hong was famous for his martial arts instruction. Later, I started directing and acting in movies. His first work was Sande Monks and Six Dozens of Rice, followed by films such as Tiger Frog and Lin Shirong, which were also well received. After Jackie Chan died in Bruce Lee, his former collaborators found out that he was Li's successor.
However, whether it's Bruce Lee's new Jingwumen or the martial arts movies adapted from Gu Long's novels (sword flowers and misty moon in the south of the Yangtze River, etc. ) it worked. It was not until 1978 that Jackie Chan shot Wu Siyuan's drunken fist that he quickly became popular.
The humorous style of the film and Yuan Heping's lively and dexterous acrobatic martial arts movements are simply tailored for Jackie Chan, which fully demonstrates his talent in this field and enables Jackie Chan to find his future development direction in the field of kung fu films. Since then, another Kung Fu superstar has officially appeared after Bruce Lee.
Because Jackie Chan's humorous kung fu films are very popular, Hong Kong filmmakers who have always followed the trend have turned to making such films. Most of them are natural, but there are also many fine works. In addition to Jackie Chan's snake carver, Master Long and his brother all came out.
The Son of God and Iron Fist directed by Sammo Hung are also excellent works. The story lines of these two movies are similar to drunken boxing, and they are all routines for teenagers to get revenge when they meet masters.
