In the film, Wang Baoqiang's acting skills are impressive. Unexpectedly, in addition to often playing silly and funny roles, he can also play such characters one by one, a neurotic martial arts idiot, and his kung fu is prudent and solid, and it can be seen that he is from a Lian family. According to expert analysis, except for the scene where Tan Jingyao may have used a stand-in, it is obvious that Wang Baoqiang personally went to the line of fire.
At the end of the film, Feng Yuxiu (played by Wang Baoqiang) and Xia Houwu (played by Donnie Yen) duel. The close-up shot of the two clasping fists clearly shows the thick calluses on Wang Baoqiang's knuckles. For this role, Wang Baoqiang really worked hard.
"One Man's Martial Arts" is too similar to Wang Baoqiang's growth experience. He is not a talented martial arts talent, and even has obvious flaws that almost hinder his dream pursuit. But persistence and excellence ultimately made him who he wanted to be. For Feng Yuxiu in the film, the journey of chasing dreams in martial arts is a dark and crazy journey of self-destruction, but for Wang Baoqiang, it is a colorful and dreamy kaleidoscope journey.
"One Man's Martial Arts" is a Hong Kong film that is seriously written, directed and interpreted. Almost all the staff who were active in the front and behind the scenes in the golden age of Hong Kong kung fu films were called up to appear in this film. It can be seen how serious the production company is! And Wang Baoqiang's serious performance in it adds luster to the film.
