How many Hollywood action movies are directed by China people?

■ Yuan Heping: Yuan Heping, founder of high-tech martial arts, son of the first generation martial arts instructor Yuan Xiaotian. He studied martial arts with his father since childhood and worked as an extra actor and martial artist in the Hong Kong film circle in his early years. 1978, Yuan Heping first directed the kung fu comedy "Snake-shaped Diaoshou", which made him famous. His martial arts design pays attention to the fist to the flesh, the virtual to the real. Due to the decline of Hong Kong film market, few investors are interested in pure martial arts films, and it is against this background that Yuan Heping came to the United States. The movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon gave him great encouragement. In recent years, he combined Hong Kong's unique fighting action design with high-tech means, and produced films such as The Matrix and Charlie Hebdo that entered Hollywood cinemas, and thus became an internationally renowned martial arts instructor. In Matrix 2, which set off a hacker craze again this year, the hero keanu reeves can see kung fu everywhere, thanks to his "master" Yuan Heping. Several stars in Matrix 2 all said, "It was Yuan Heping who opened up our potential to make action movies." In Charlie's Angels, under the "set-up" of Yuan Heping, the three angels also developed a pair of vigorous skills, which can be described as female men. Comments: Yuan Heping himself is very low-key, and some even think that his low-key is "almost shy". Under the influence of "literature is no first, martial arts is no second", martial artists in the film industry are rarely modest, and they can do ten things in eight minutes, which is already very measured. But Yuan Heping didn't work hard enough. He never took over ten things easily, so the films he directed always brought surprises to people. Hollywood Impact Index: ★★★★★☆■ Yuan Xiangren: a flexible and agile Hong Kong-style signboard. This year, Premiere magazine, a famous American film publication, sought a comic adaptation, which is the film Brave Man starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. The special effects of Daredevil can be compared with Spider-Man, and the emotional entanglements between the hero and heroine can be compared with broken arrow in Hero. The wonderful actions of the hero and heroine in the film The Brave and Irina Kaptelova were created by Yuan Xiangren, a member of Hong Kong-made Yuan Jiaban and Yuan Heping's younger brother. Comments: In the film, Yuan Xiangren brought all kinds of aerial tightrope fights and leaps that challenged gravity, and the audience was dazzled and amazed by the flexibility of the actors in the film, the strength of heavyweight boxers and the difficulty of China Wushu. It is reported that Ben Affleck and jennifer garner, the hero and heroine of the film, both received three hours of kung fu training every day for six weeks before filming The Brave to cope with a lot of action scenes in the film. After the film was released in the United States, Affleck became one of Hollywood action stars, which was closely related to Yuan Xiangren's guidance. Yuan Xiangren's actions given to the hero of the film are different from those of western heroes in the past, and they are replaced by flexible and agile Hong Kong-style actions such as jumping up and down, which may satisfy both eastern and western audiences visually. Hollywood Impact Index: ★★★★☆■ Yuan Kui: Jet Li's "Royal Guide" Although Yuan Kui's wife and children had already moved to the United States, he didn't want to develop in the past at first. 1998, Yuan Kui came to Hollywood at the invitation of Jet Li and designed martial arts scenes for him in Bombing Sky 4. Yuan Kui, who has lived in Hollywood for many years, is the "royal guide" of Jet Li's martial arts movements. Including Fang Shiyu, which was filmed in Hong Kong in his early years, Jet Li directed such martial arts films as Fatal Romeo, Kiss of the Dragon and Savior, which were filmed in the United States and have been released one after another. Comments: Although these films are considered by domestic kung fu fans to have lost the flavor of oriental martial arts, they cater to the appetite of western audiences. Hong Kong martial arts movies or gangster movies have long had their own traditions. Yuan Kui, like Yuan Heping, takes the route from boxing to meat, but unless you are an expert, it is not easy to see the difference between them. However, due to the different budget and special effects of the film, it has different effects. Jet Li's role in "Savior" is extraordinary, but he can save mankind, and his budget is small, so his computer special effects can't be exerted. Although Yuan Kui helped Jet Li design two completely different boxing methods, Bagua Boxing and Xingyi Boxing, the effect was not as pleasing as keanu reeves's trick in Matrix 2. Hollywood Impact Index: ★★★★★■ Jackie Chan: After 1970s, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao were the representatives of Beijing Opera and martial arts. They often arrange a film from screenwriter and director to actors and martial arts directors, and their basic skills come from the martial arts skills of the troupe in those days. Jackie Chan, as the most famous kung fu star in the international film industry, really doesn't need much pen and ink for his achievements, because almost all the actions in his films are carefully designed by the adult class he leads. Comments: Jackie Chan is a martial artist from Beijing Opera, so the actions in his films pay great attention to the design of scenes, and the scenes of team battles draw lessons from the martial arts dramas on the Beijing Opera stage. In addition, he also combined movements with acrobatics to produce humorous and exciting viewing effects. As a successful Chinese in Hollywood and overseas markets, Jackie Chan's achievements and influence are unparalleled at present. Hollywood Impact Index: ★★★★★★■ Donnie Yen: The fighting scenes are full of new ideas. He is the "sky" in Hero. With flexible skills and profound martial arts attainments, Donnie Yen became another China action actor who was well known and recognized by Hollywood after Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Donnie Yen studied martial arts and piano with his mother since childhood. In Boston's Chinatown, young Donnie Yen never misses every kung fu movie. Comments: Influenced by Bruce Lee since childhood, Donnie Yen not only explored various martial arts styles, but also established his own unique martial arts system. He innovatively designed fighting scenes and showed superb fighting skills. 199 1 year, Tsui Hark found Donnie Yen while filming "Huang Feihong 2" and asked him to play opposite Jet Li. In that scene, Donnie Yen designed a creative action with a wet cloth as a weapon. It was this film that established his status as a kung fu star. For him, martial arts is not only a tool for making a living, but also a part of life. Donnie Yen has signed three contracts with Max Company in Milla, USA, and his TV film as martial arts director for German TV station will continue to shoot sequels; In addition, he won the appreciation of Japanese filmmakers, served as martial arts director for Yumiko Shaku's action film Shura Yukime, and served as martial arts director for the Japanese version of Charlie Hebdo. Hollywood Impact Index: ★★★★☆ When filming Hero, Zhang Yimou once said that foreigners should know about China Wushu. In fact, this mission was undertaken by Bruce Lee as early as 1960s. Strictly speaking, many filmmakers, such as Yuan Heping, are active in Europe, America and other places as film martial arts directors, but they are taking the road that their predecessors have not finished. No matter what elements are injected into today's movies, it may be because of these martial arts directors who are still chasing the dream of martial arts that martial arts movies will not end and will be immortal in the changing mode.
