Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2023 Hong Fist Authentic
Liu Jialiang was born in a family of martial arts, his father Liu Zhan is a re-disciple of Huang Feihong.

Liu Zhan is also a well-known martial artist, martial arts instructor, and actor in the Huang Feihong series of early Cantonese movies.

Liu Jialiang learned martial arts from his childhood and got his father's true biography. Later, he began to study various martial arts. Because of his talent and intelligence, he has achieved some success in martial arts.

Influenced by his father, Liu Jialiang stepped into the film industry after he starred in the first movie "Huang Feihong" at the age of 16.

In the mid-to-late 60s, accepting Run Run Shaw's invitation to serve as a martial arts instructor for Shaw Brothers became Zhang Che's imperial martial arts.

After that, he continued to make films for Shaw Brothers, until Run Run Shaw announced that Shaw Brothers would stop production, and the number of Liu Jialiang's films dropped sharply.

Liu Jialiang in this life did not join New Art City to make films for him after leaving Shaw Brothers like in the previous life.

Prior to this, Liu Jialiang had been filming in companies such as Golden Harvest, Dibao, and New Art City, or at his own expense.

Compared with the other three major martial arts, if you want to talk about the authenticity of martial arts, then Liu Jialiang is definitely the No. 1 well-deserved, and even Yuan Heping is ashamed.

But compared with others, Liu Jialiang's biggest advantage has turned into his disadvantage, that is, he is a little less flexible.

When Tsui Hark was about to shoot "Once Upon a Time", he asked Liu Jialiang, an authentic master of Hong Quan, to be his martial arts instructor, but Liu Jialiang was very angry because of Tsui Hark's unconstrained ideas.

Tsui Hark hoped that Huang Feihong could add more aerial fighting scenes, and the most famous "Foshan Shadowless Foot" kicked seven times in a row, so that it would have a good visual effect.

But Liu Jialiang couldn't accept Huang Feihong's flying around like this at all, because it had deviated from the essence of Hong Fist.

At the end of the trouble, Liu Jialiang quit the "Once Upon a Time" crew directly, and Tsui Hark then found Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Xinyi to replace Liu Jialiang as martial arts instructor.

In the end, "Huang Feihong" became a classic, but Liu Jialiang still didn't approve of it.

At that time, Liu Jialiang said to the outside world, "Tsui Hark filmed "Huang Feihong" like this, and really laughed out the teeth of 10 Hongquan disciples."

Because what Tsui Hark filmed was completely opposite to what he pursued all his life. If it was serious, it would be a spoof. How could Liu Jialiang, the heir of Hongquan, accept it.

In addition to Tsui Hark, Lau Ka Leung also had a falling out with Jackie Chan in "Drunken Master II".

In fact, Liu Jialiang is not opposed to innovation, but if they put the point of innovation on Hong Quan and Huang Feihong, then Liu Jialiang, the successor of Hong Quan and Huang Feihong, will definitely not agree.

Moreover, in Liu Jialiang's view, these innovations run counter to the tradition he insisted on, so it is not surprising that he would fall out with those people.

Although none of these things happened yet, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang knew Liu Jialiang quite well.

The fighting in "Dragon Tiger Gate" is not like ordinary kung fu movies. Is it really appropriate to hire Liu Jiaban to shoot?They all had a lot of doubts about this.

"Now we have only two choices, to find Liu Jiaban or go outside to find other directors to shoot, but I think Liu Jiaban's skills are still trustworthy compared to outsiders."

If he wants to find someone outside to take "Dragon Tiger Gate", then He Guanchang is still more inclined to find Liu Jialiang to shoot.

Zou Wenhuai has been silent, it seems that he has been hesitating there.

If the martial arts director is not selected well, it can be said that it will have a great impact on movies like "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

"If we hadn't taken the initiative to find Huang Yulang, I would really have thought that Lin Daoqiu had dug a hole there and was waiting for us."

Now it is obviously impossible to say that Lin Daoqiu did this on purpose, because the filming of "Fengyun" has been decided before, and it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to know in advance that Golden Harvest will make a comic change.

So the most reasonable explanation is that their luck this time is really not very good.

"Go and talk to Liu Jialiang, it seems that there is no better choice than him now."

Zou Wenhuai is indeed a bigwig in Xiangjiang's film industry, and he is much better than ordinary people in making decisions. After weighing the pros and cons, he feels that it is not a bad thing to hire Liu Jialiang to make a film.

After all, they have no better choice now, unless they are willing to wait for "Chinese Heroes" or "Feng Yun" to finish filming, then they can find Hong Jiaban or Yuan Jiaban to shoot.

But what Zou Wenhuai wanted was to put "Dragon and Tiger Gate" in next year's Spring Festival file to compete, so he couldn't wait that long at all.

"I see. In fact, it's not a bad thing to hire Liu Jialiang to shoot. After all, Liu Jialiang's kung fu attainments are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Maybe he will surprise us when the time comes."

He Guanchang can only use such words to comfort himself now, but he is right in saying one thing, that is, Liu Jialiang's kung fu accomplishments are indeed incomparable to others.

…………

"Golden Harvest really hired Liu Jiaban to film "Dragon Tiger Gate"?"

Hearing this news from Fang Jinsheng, the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face looked a little strange, but this was actually the result of what he had guessed a long time ago.

"Actually, Liu Jialiang is not necessarily unsuitable for manga. As long as Huang Feihong and Hong Quan are not involved, I believe Liu Jialiang may not be worse than others."

You must know that Liu Jialiang was the first Chinese to work as an action director in Hollywood. The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" he was in charge of action design won a good result of [-] million box office worldwide at that time.

So in Lin Daoqiu's view, Liu Jialiang is not a person who can't be flexible, but he is willing to cooperate as long as he doesn't encounter his inverse.

"If Liu Jiaban really makes "Dragon and Tiger Gate" a good one, then the rankings of the four major martial arts teams in Xiangjiang may have to be reshuffled."

After losing the backer of Shaw Brothers, Liu Jiaban's life in Xiangjiang can be said to be not easy.

Many of the main actors in the Liu family class have lost their aura as the protagonists, and most of them can only play supporting roles.

If Liu Jialiang can seize this opportunity to make "Dragon Tiger Gate" well, it will be an unparalleled opportunity for Liu Jiaban.

"By the way, boss, Golden Harvest plans to put "Dragon and Tiger Gate" in next year's Spring Festival."

"Huh? Jiahe actually has such a plan, I underestimated Mr. Zou's ambition."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that Zou Wenhuai would put "Dragon and Tiger Gate" in next year's Spring Festival. From this point of view, he intended to avenge Golden Harvest's past humiliation brought by "The Legend of Wesley".

"God of Gamblers", "The True Colors of Heroes", and "Dragon Tiger Gate", this year has just passed the Spring Festival next year and already have three strong films on the lineup, which suddenly became interesting.
