Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art, and there are many actors in Hong Kong who have studied it, such as Bruce Lee, Stephen Chow, Di Lung, Bruce Leung, Lai Ying Jau, Chan Hoon Kee, etc. There are also many Hong Kong movies based on Wing Chun, such as “Hung Gar and Wing Chun”, “Mr. Zan” and “Find the Money”, “The Loser”, “Ip Man” series, “Generation Master”, etc. There are also many Hong Kong films about Wing Chun, such as “Hung Gar and Wing Chun”, “Mr. Zan and the Search for Money”, “Loser”, “Wing Chun”, the “Ip Man” series, “The Grandmaster”, etc. The most important one is “Loser”, which had Lai Ying-jau as the Wing Chun advisor, and Lai was a disciple of the famous Wing Chun master Chiu Wan.
The story of “Loser Boy” is produced by Golden Harvest, produced by Zou Wenhuai, and directed by Sammo Hung, Anthony Wong and Wong Jing. The story of learning martial arts and later avenging his master’s death. Released on December 22, 1981 and released the following year on January 14, 1981, “Loser” earned 9.15 million Hong Kong dollars and ranked 12th in the Hong Kong box office in 1982, the winner being New Art City’s “The Best Partner”. The winner that year was New Art City’s “Best Partner”, which was ranked No. 3 if it was ranked second from 1981.
It is worth mentioning that “Loser” also won the Best Action Director Award at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards, which was jointly won by Sammo Hung, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Biao and Chen Huiyi, and was the first time Lin Zhengying and Yuan Biao won the award. It was also the first time that the award for Best Action Director was established at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards in 1983, and it is said that this award was proposed by the great director Zhang Cheh. The biggest point of “Loser” is naturally the action, and this film also gathers 10 action masters, let’s take a look together!
1、Yuan Biao and his sidekick Chen Long
The most hilarious thing is to attack Liang Zan when he is unprepared, and it is this advance warning that allows Liang Zan to escape. The first time I saw him was in a movie, and he was the first one to be released. Recently, she attended Jackie Chan Action Movie Week with Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua.
His sidekick, Chen Long, has a lot of funny roles, but he also has skills, and one of the martial arts fingers in Loser Boy, Chen Huiyi, is his younger brother. Chen Long plays two roles in this film, reprising his bad monk image from Ghost in the Shell. He and Yuen Biao also appeared in Six Finger Piano Demon, in which they played the role of the late master, who was always late for work. Chen Long has basically faded from the film world since the new century, and there is basically no news about him now.
2. Li Haisheng and Qian Yuesheng
Liang Zan and his two half-hearted masters were money cheats, and learning kung fu with such people was naturally shallow. Li Hai Sheng was one of the earliest Shaw’s Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters, and participated in films directed by Chang Cheh, Chor Yuen, Gwi Chi Hung, and Liu Chia Liang. Later, he worked with Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, and gradually became well known, such as Gao Ba Tian in “Lin Shi Rong” and Li Chujiu in “Plan A”. Later he joined TVB and portrayed some familiar roles, such as Master Xuan Pain in Huang Rihua’s version of “The Eighth Section of the Dragon” and Meng Guan in “The Search for the Qin”, and he is still filming today.
Qian Yuesheng was a disciple of the Pink Chrysanthemum, and was a fellow disciple of Lin Zhengying, Meng Hai, Zhong Fa, Dong Wei, and Hui Tianci, and was an excellent kung fu master. As an actor, he played some funny roles or action master, such as the gambling mercenary in “No Tears for Heroes”, and in “Zombie”, “Law Enforcement Vanguard”, and “Beware of Small Hands”, but he disappeared after the 1990s.
3. Lin Zhengying and Hong Jinbao
Liang Zan’s real masters, Liang Er Di and Huang Hua Bao, have taught Liang Zan kung fu in the past, and they have taught us all aspects of Wing Chun. Lin Zhengying, who studied Peking Opera, played the role of a female courtesan on stage without any problems, and her movements and expressions were exquisite. Who would have thought that such a beautiful “Hua Dan” would later become a professional zombie Taoist, and the most secure Taoist, “Mr. Zombie”, “Zombie Family”, “The One Eyebrow Man”, “Exorcism Police” are all classics, and the TV series “Taoist Zombie”, but unfortunately, Uncle Lin Zhengying left us long ago.
Then Hong’s Huang Huabao is also here to play a funny role, open-minded nature, if Liang Di has his kind of character, perhaps would not have sacrificed. The relationship between Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying is also relatively good, after all, both grew up learning art, although not the same school, but certainly know each other, and then both entered the film industry development, and then together to create the zombie film era trend. The Hung’s status in Hong Kong is high, not because of his skills and weight, but because of his ability to recognize people and use them.
4. Chen Xunqi, Di Wei and Zhong Fa
It is not really a villain, he is just a martial arts idiot, and he has more respect for Liang Er Di, who was killed by the opera troupe Le Feng Nian. Chen Xunqi is recognized in the film industry as a film all-rounder, film score, kung fu, director, screenwriter, actor can do everything, and every single thing is better, it is really rare in the circle, I personally think that only Xu Xiaoming can compete with one of them!
Di Wei and Zhong Fa are Ni Fei’s bodyguards, who take direct orders from the Prince, and will eliminate their opponents in advance to ensure Ni Fei’s safety in case of accidents. The two underlings are under orders, but it is their fault for killing innocents, and in the end, they deserve to be killed. Dee Dee was a great fighter. He was a Shaw Brothers action actor in his early days, and later joined the Hung’s family, becoming one of the strongest fighters in Hong Kong movies.
Zhong Fa is also a veteran action actor, and in reality he is the younger brother of Ninth Uncle Lin Zhengying, who likes to call him Chizuru on screen, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. The last time he appeared in “Zombie”, he was extremely brilliant and had a sense of coldness when he appeared on stage. I don’t know when he’ll be back in a zombie movie.
5. Wei Bai
The opera troupe Le Feng Nian’s Ou Yu Gui, who sang Guan Gong, caused Liang Zan to be wrongly accused and took a beating on his behalf. Wei Bai used to be a member of the Zhang Clan, playing the role of the “Five Poisons” of the Spirit Snake, and later he also acted with Liu Songren in the John Woo-directed “Heroic Warrior”, which is a costume version of “The True Colors of Heroes”, with a better rendering of brotherly love. Wei Bai once joined the Chengjia class for a period of time, portraying the role of big brother in “Shidi Chan”. Afterwards, he also entered the field of television drama, joining ATV, and starred in such works as “Four famous arrestors reappear in the rivers and lakes” and “Chivalrous Bones and Tender Affection”. It is a pity that he didn’t become popular and retired from the film industry in the late 80s.
The Ip Man series is also Wing Chun, and with the technological advances in cinema, the actors are playing faster, but it’s not as authentic as Loser, because it’s a real hard bridge and hard horse.
