Why are there fewer and fewer martial arts stars now? Is it because of the progress of film special effects?

The last 30 years of the last century can be said to be the peak of martial arts TV series and martial arts movies, with a large number of talents. Hong Kong Four Little Dragons (Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tommy Tam and Liang Xiaolong), Wang Yu, Yuan Biao, Jet Li, Yuan Biao,,, Zhou Bili and so on. All the kung fu stars you can name appeared in this period. In addition to dazzling kung fu stars, powerful martial arts also provide strong support for kung fu movies. We often say that adult classes and Hong Jiaban are outstanding representatives. And many kung fu star actors grew up with martial arts, such as Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao.

In order to make excellent action movies, they often risk injuries or even their lives. However, they still do every scene conscientiously. Jackie Chan is hurt all over. When filming Drunk Boxing, Jackie Chan injured his eyebrows and almost sacrificed his glasses. Jackie Chan broke his cheek while filming Super Police, and almost died of a throat injury while filming Brothers Out. Jackie Chan injured his neck when he jumped at Big Ben in Plan A, and fractured his pelvis when he filmed Never Say Never. When filming "Dragon and Tiger Brothers", I accidentally fell from a 2-meter-high tree, fell below my head, bled profusely, fainted and went into shock on the spot, and so on.

It is precisely because of Jackie Chan's desperate performance that we can see such wonderful kung fu movies and Jackie Chan will have the title of forbidden kingdom in the world. In the industry, people love Jackie Chan very much and respect Jackie Chan as their big brother. He really deserved it.

Jet Li was injured all over the Shaolin Temple after filming, and was sentenced by a doctor. It is impossible to make a martial arts film in the future. However, Jet Li survived, and then brought us wonderful movies, such as Tai Zhang Chi Sanfeng, Huang Feihong series and New Jingwumen. However, Jet Li was injured in filming for many years, and even held an official third-class disability certificate.

And his old rival, Donnie Yen, was accidentally injured twice by Jet Li during filming, both of which hurt his brow bone, and now he has finally become a superstar.

Max Zhang, whose daughter-in-law has become a wife, recently said in a guest program that she would always be hurt to varying degrees when making martial arts films. After filming Mad Beast, she will continue filming in the water, and she can only watch the wound fester every day, which is very annoying. In order to prevent the wound from festering, she had to take a lot of antibiotics every day. For professional reasons, they can't buy accident insurance, because their occupation is a high-risk occupation, and then Max Zhang also happily vomited, "Why don't you let me buy insurance?" .

Then everyone will know why so many people refuse to play Wolf Warrior 2. Kung fu stars who are active on the screen now are basically active people in the last century. Maybe you will say that the big bosses occupy the throne and the newcomers have no chance. But is this really the case?

Take the martial arts TV series as an example. In the last century, those martial arts TV dramas, the actors all said that they were concentrated on acting and finished with high quality, such as "The Dragon Slayer" and "the legendary swordsman" and so on. , are the classics of martial arts TV series. Nowadays, martial arts dramas are all special effects, and there is always a little fog. They look great. To be honest, there is nothing to see. It seems that any actor can film easily. Real kung fu is no longer just the need of martial arts movies and action movies. It's really sad

Not that classics can't be copied. The key is that the actors have changed, and the film and television entertainment market behind them has also changed. You can make money lying down, so why take the risk?

Sammo Hung, who once claimed to be an apprentice after 90 years old, also felt dejected. He said that the ecology has changed, and he no longer accepts apprentices and trains action actors. Whether in Hong Kong or the Mainland, he likes big brands or fresh meat. Young people have few opportunities and dreams, and are too lazy to practice. It's not hard to see how disappointed you are in this industry. Then Eddie Peng Yuyan Yuyan will be Sammo Hung's last apprentice.

Jackie Chan is old, Jet Li is half dead, Sammo Hung's actions are getting harder and harder, and Donnie Yen, Max Zhang, Jason Wu, Zou Zhaolong and Chiu Man-Cheuk are all old. The new generation can't play, can't play, or is not mature enough to play. I can't imagine what action movies will be like in 20 years.
