Foreword: There are more than a hundred films in the "Huang Feihong" series. From 1949 to the present, why can films of the same theme be performed so many times? Why are some people still filming and watching "Huang Feihong" today? The answer is: the "Huang Feihong" series has been a favorite of Hong Kong martial arts filmmakers from the very beginning. From the actors to behind the scenes, as long as the title of "Huang Feihong" is involved, there are people who really know martial arts working hard for this series (except spoof movies). Some of the martial arts in Hong Kong's performing arts industry have family backgrounds and some have sects, and those who can take over the "Huang Feihong" series are all masters. It can be said that the "Huang Feihong" series of movies is the temple that Hong Kong and even the world's action movies look up to. Those who make martial arts movies don't say that, who doesn't want to make Huang Feihong? Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Hong Kong filmmakers went forward to make "Once Upon a Time" movie! Main text: Guan Dexing Era-Hong Kong swordsman film from a flowery posture of fighting and killing to a turning point where chivalry and real kungfu are both emphasized. A warrior with outstanding medical ethics and martial arts, calm and majestic appeared in the film world. Since then, audiences in Hong Kong have seen a new martial arts scene-the characters can use anything around them as weapons, carefully designed tricks and tricks; they have seen the use of force to stop violence, use morality to persuade people, and promote A knight who is uplifting and serving the country. "Drunk Fist": I believe that when the film "Drunk Fist I" starring Jackie Chan and directed by Yuan Heping appeared in 1978, no one compared the image of Huang Feihong with Mr. Guan Dexing's Master Huang. However, this young and energetic, gagging Huang Feihong still won the praise of the majority of movie fans. Jackie Chan's steel and iron bones, fresh skills, drunken punches and vigorous, flexible and changeable moves, coupled with the super funny performance, so that the audience has to fall in love with him in admiration. And the launch of "Drunken Master II" in 1992 is a bit jaw-dropping. At least I think many alluring factors of martial arts and comedies are reflected in it. The martial art design of this movie is closely tied to the plot. Huang Feihong's two sets of drunken fist-the former went from being open and relaxed to confused and invincible, and the latter went from stepping to invincible, which made his personality and growth story full and structured, full of fun and shocking tension. The funny little mother\Jigucao\Huang Feihong uses the serious version of Huang Qiying as a contrast, filling the big screen with brilliant colors. In the film, the sentence "Water can carry a boat, and can also overturn a boat" on Feihong's fan is borrowed by the screenwriter, but it definitely expresses the nature of wine appropriately. The cheerful and heroic theme song, in Jackie Chan's emboldened singing, the audience is happy Endlessly, there are also many insights. Off topic: The two drunken fists have created the image of the young Huang Feihong on the screen, and also become a classic on the screen of Jackie Chan. In addition, although Yuan Heping is a loyal supporter of Yuan Heping's martial arts style, I have to admit that Liu Jialiang's fist-to-fist martial arts design conquered me in "Drunken Fist II".
