Hong Kong’s film industry is "badly hurt": the number of martial artists is reduced, and Kung Fu movies are losing more.

Core tips

As if experiencing a chivalrous movie, the reporter from Chengdu Business Daily went to Hong Kong to report on Liu Jialiang’s funeral on July 22nd, and what he saw was a story of a weak woman collecting debts on her husband’s behalf in order to help the weak and carry forward the martial arts spirit of her late husband. However, behind this huge funeral, there is another sadness: when it comes to China movies, Kung Fu movies are a topic that can never be avoided. In the impression of ordinary people, it is prosperous and prosperous. It was not until the death of Liu Jialiang, the "master of Kung Fu movies", that many people were shocked by the last wish about the charity fund of Kung Fu movies.

Lens one

On July 24th, Liu Jialiang, a "great master", went to the funeral. His widow Weng Jingjing read a eulogy and announced that she would donate HK$ 1 million to set up a charity fund in Liu Jialiang. The purpose of the fund is to help the Dragon and Tiger Martial Masters who have contributed to Kung Fu movies but are in urgent need of help. At the same time, she also turned over the "old debts" of her husband Liu Jialiang and Shaw Company, referring to the fact that Shaw Company failed to pay Liu Jialiang the bonus that should be paid in the past 30 years "not 50 million, but also 5 million."

On July 29th, Liu Jialiang’s body was cremated at Baolian Temple on Lantau Island. Weng Jingjing revealed that Shaw Company had an internal meeting on the bonus. "I will give them time and talk about it on August 10." On August 10th, Weng Jingjing talked about dividends, saying that Shaw still didn’t give a reply. If the following people don’t care, they will directly call Shao TaiFang Yihua, who has the right to speak.

Master’s last wish

Looking back, there was a crow club drum under the Beaver Temple.

The last wish of a kung fu film leader.

Help Kung Fu filmmakers and promote China Wushu.

Master Liu’s last wish stems from the loyalty of a "leading brother". In 1960s and 1970s, he and Chia Tang were the best martial arts instructors in Hong Kong film circle, and they were followed by many dragon and tiger martial artists. Guolin Xian, a disciple of Liu Jialiang, told Chengdu Business Daily that Liu Jiaban was the earliest martial arts class in the Hong Kong film circle.

John Chiang, Tommy Tam, Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Ceng Zhiwei and other big names all followed Master Liu at the earliest time. But not all dragon and tiger martial artists can become famous. Weng Jingjing, the widow, said in her eulogy that it was such a group of people that the master was most concerned about during his lifetime. "As we all know, being a dragon and tiger master will suffer a lot of injuries when making movies for so many years. Therefore, Master Liu has a last wish, hoping to set up a fund to help those kungfu filmmakers who need help and promote China Wushu … … 。”

A "hard wound" in Hong Kong’s film industry

"Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" can’t buy insurance at the expense of health.

Dragon and Tiger Martial Master, a special type of work created by Hong Kong movies. At the peak of Kung Fu movies, a large number of children from poor families devoted themselves to the martial arts. Although they worked hard, body double, special effects and walk-on gained considerable income. Xiong Xinxin, a member of "Liu Jiaban", told Chengdu Business Daily that he went to Hong Kong as a martial artist in 1987 and earned more than 8,000 yuan a month, which was more than 150 times his salary as a martial arts coach in the Mainland.

But the dark side of this profession was not noticed until many years later. Kara Wai, the winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards and the "class flower" of Liu Jiaban in those days, recalled the scenes when he was slapping and acting. "All the jack will encounter the problem of pain. We may have to shoot for more than a dozen times in one second. The achievements of kung fu actors are all exchanged for health. "

At that time, the insurance company didn’t want to insure these martial artists. Kara Wai said, "Because all we do are high-risk actions, the insurance company doesn’t think we are long-term partners. Later, it was slowly available, but the price would be particularly high. "

An embarrassing fund start-up figure

With only 1 million yuan, Weng Jingjing asked Shao Yifu to "collect debts"

"The master has signed a contract with Shaw for every play, stating that there will be Hong Kong and international bonuses, but they have not been received for 30 years. I believe that this money is not 50 million, but also 5 million. I really hope that Sir Shao can support the fund. " Weng Jingjing’s speech received applause from the audience.

"Jenny will take out 1 million yuan, and those of us who are apprentices will take out some money next, but we don’t know exactly how much we can raise." Guolin Xian said that the Kung Fu Film Charity Fund in Liu Jialiang will not only help some martial artists who have difficulties in their later years, but also consider helping some Kung Fu film projects that need funds.

Compared with other hundreds of millions of support funds for Hong Kong films, such figures are somewhat thin at present. Wu Siyuan, a famous director and producer, said in an interview with Chengdu Business Daily: "Liu Jialiang Charity Fund should be the first fund to support kung fu filmmakers at present. The key to the problem now is to see how Shaw Company reacts."

Ceng Zhiwei, who used to be a member of Liu Jiaban, was noncommittal when talking about the debt of Shaw Company and Liu Jialiang: "I know Mr. Shaw’s character, so I shouldn’t (deliberately not give him a bonus)."

As of the press release of this newspaper, there is only one senior Ka Hee WONG (the production director of Shaw Company, who produces most of Liu Jialiang’s films in Shaw) who said: "It’s always the same sentence, no response!"

A history that is about to dissipate.

There are fewer martial artists in Hong Kong, and the industry lacks protection.

In the interview, the reporter asked Guolin Xian how many new people in Hong Kong will join the martial arts school to do martial arts. Guolin Xian, who is now the vice chairman of the World Wing Chun Federation and the chairman of the Hong Kong Wing Chun Federation, said: "Most people who practice martial arts in Hong Kong now are for interest, basically some white-collar workers and foreigners." He said that with the improvement of living standards, the phenomenon that a martial artist entered the business in those days and expected to jump into the dragon gate has long since ceased to exist.

In this regard, Xiong Xinxin introduced that the current martial arts martial arts, from Hong Kong’s Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Division to the mainland-based martial arts team, but faced with much more embarrassment than in those years. "The competition in the industry is fierce and disorderly. For example, martial arts instructors offer a basic salary of 11,000 months, but some martial artists will lower the price. I am cheaper. Please find me. The producers are naturally willing to find it at a lower price, but he does not consider that the level of martial artists with different prices is different."

In terms of disability protection, today’s martial arts in the mainland are also facing a more embarrassing situation than those of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Division. Xiong Xinxin introduced that although the crew will buy insurance for Wushu teachers now, it is not perfect. "When I was filming" days of our lives ",I didn’t turn it on. A martial arts sparring partner fell off his horse and his hand was broken. The crew should have bought him medical insurance to help pay the medical expenses, but the insurance did not include the living expenses during the lost time … … Mainly because the entire industry of Wuxing lacks sufficient rights and interests protection system. "

on-site investigation

Dancing in pavilions and singing tables, romantic feelings are always blown away by rain and wind.

Kara Wai discloses the status quo in Liu Jiahui.

"I don’t want too many people to see him now."

Speaking of the whereabouts of the former members of the Liu family, Xiong Xinxin was deeply saddened. "I have been in Hong Kong for a few years, and Ching Chu immigrated to Canada. Wai Cheung Mak and I worked together in several plays, and then I heard that I changed careers and worked as a truck driver in a supermarket. Hou Yaozong and Ke Ming Lin followed Sammo Hung as deputy directors. " There is also Yu Yuanwen, who quit the entertainment industry in the late 1980s and started an antique business. Liu Jialiang’s nephew, Liu Jiayong, also retired from the show business in the mid-1990s, and recently made a guest appearance in Wong Kar-wai’s The Grandmaster. "

Kara Wai, a former "class flower", should be a member of Liu Jiaban who is now active in the entertainment industry and has seen the most improvement in his career. Three years ago, she won the Hong Kong Academy Award for winning the Best Actress title for the second time with her consummate acting skills in the movie "demons".

The most touching thing is the "class grass" of Liu Jiaban — — — Liu Jiahui, a kung fu superstar in Liu Jialiang, suddenly fell and suffered a stroke at home in August, 2011, resulting in hemiplegia. At the age of 62, he has now moved to a private nursing home. Due to long-term illness in bed, I have lost my former style. Kara Wai told Chengdu Business Daily: "I know something about him through my friends, and now his mood is much better than before. But he is not a very close friend, he will not see him often, and I know his mood. After all, he is a man of iron, and he will not want too many people to see him now. "

Walk alone

Who can ask, Lian Po is too old to eat?

Many Kung Fu movies "Loss"

Superstar Donnie Yen can’t escape the crisis.

Nowadays, the future of Kung Fu movies is not optimistic. Even Donnie Yen, the superstar of Kung Fu movies, is full of crises behind the flowers. According to the statistics of his movie box office data in recent years, Chengdu Business Daily reporter found that in addition to the series Ip Man, which made him popular, the producers can make profits only by the box office in the mainland. In recent years, the investors of his films such as Royal Guards, Guan Yunchang and Jingwumen have actually been in a state of "loss" in terms of the box office in the mainland.

Without Donnie Yen, the fate of Kung Fu movies at the box office is even more miserable. For example, "gallants", which won the best film in the 30th Hong Kong Academy Awards in 2011, won good word-of-mouth awards, but it was less than one million when the first round of the mainland box office was released, and the box office in Hong Kong was only about 5.6 million, which lost a lot of money.

In the face of the current dilemma of kung fu movies, Guolin Xian also bluntly said, "Donnie Yen became popular too late. He made his debut with Ip Man for more than 20 years. He is still there. How many years can he play? "big wudang" tried to praise Fan Shaohuang, but as a result, he was asked to play a seventeen-year-old in his forties, which was not helpful … …”

Looking for a way out

Cultivate new people and look for opportunities

Guolin Xian is going to shoot the story of Liu Jialiang.

Although the road ahead of kung fu films is difficult, they will not despair. "I hope to have a good opportunity and a good script." Guolin Xian is also trying to tap the opportunity of the next kung fu film like Ip Man. He has set his sights on the family story of Liu Jialiang. "Shooting the story of Hongquan, starting from Liu Zhan and talking about Liu Jialiang, but this story has to be approved by Jenny."

Kung fu movies will not die — — — Even if the hardships are heavy and the blows are repeated, in the mouths of all the people in the industry interviewed by Chengdu Business Daily, they don’t admit that this golden signboard in the Chinese film industry will be buried by time. Jackie Chan asked him to talk about kung fu movies. He also didn’t know what the future kung fu movies would look like. He put his future hopes on the cultivation of new people. "I hope to find some new blood to represent Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Jackie Chan."

kungfu film

Noun interpretation

kungfu film

What is a kung fu film? There is a loose but practical division in China and Hongkong film research circles: generally speaking, martial arts films are characterized by ancient swords, kung fu films are characterized by modern fists, and action films are characterized by fashion guns. According to Zhang Li’s Action Director in the Chinese World: The Secret of Kung Fu

To the disappearing Wulin

When I first went to Hongkong to report Liu Jialiang’s funeral, I thought it was just an ordinary essay. However, on the first day of my arrival, I was shocked by the scene of Wu Xiaoshi, the nine sects that seemed to reappear as a movie scene. I didn’t know that in Hong Kong today, there are still martial arts schools of various sects everywhere. The prosperity of Kung Fu movies and Kung Fu martial arts schools was accompanied by each other from the beginning.

So I couldn’t help but start to pursue the history of Liu Jiaban and explore the bits and pieces behind the story in the interview with Liu Jiaban members. Their years, accompanied by the change of Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong, have their own strange appeal, which makes me want to use my own words to reproduce the blood of a river’s lake. Then, I began to be manipulated by my own words.

Liu Jialiang’s death is no longer the focus I want to express. What I want to discuss is why he has such a last wish, and where the history reflected behind the last wish comes from. Then I seem to have captured such a trace of good fortune from the memories of those people and the colorful light and shadow of those kung fu movies. Those martial artists who have dedicated their youth and blood to kung fu movies, and those kung fu teenagers hiding in the corner of light and shadow, are gradually being forgotten by us with a history that is about to disappear.

Donnie Yen starred in the film box office profit and loss table over the years

In 2008, Ip Man 1 invested 30 million yuan and earned 120 million yuan at the box office.

In 2009, bodyguards and assassins invested 150 million yuan and lost 290 million at the box office.

In 2010, Ip Man 2 invested 80 million yuan at the box office and earned 232 million yuan.

In 2010, Royal Guards invested 80 million yuan and lost 140 million yuan at the box office.

In 2010, Jingwu Fengyun invested 140 million yuan and lost 140 million yuan at the box office.

In 2011, Guan Yunchang invested 150 million yuan and lost 160 million at the box office.

In 2011, "Martial Arts" invested 170 million yuan and lost 170 million yuan at the box office.

Box office profit and loss table of some kung fu movies in recent years

In 2010, gallants invested 6.31 million yuan and lost 5.6 million at the box office.

In 2013, Tai Chi Xia invested 150 million yuan and lost 27.21 million yuan at the box office.

In 2013, The Grand Master invested 120 million yuan, and the box office was barely even with 288 million yuan.

In 2012, Taiji: Starting from scratch lost 150 million yuan at the box office.

Invest 110 million yuan

In 2013, Taiji: The Rise of Heroes lost 100 million yuan at the box office.

Invest 110 million yuan

In 2013, days of our lives invested 70 million yuan and lost 4 million yuan at the box office.

Note: The investment data basically comes from the data released by the producer during the announcement process. It is impossible to explore whether there is any water injection component, and it can only be presented according to the producer’s figures. The box office in mainland China is based on the statistics of non-governmental organizations presented by Baidu Box Office, and the final box office data should be slightly floating. According to the calculation that film producers can generally get about 42% profit from box office income, the basis for judging the deficit is based on this. Tai chi 1, 2 has a total investment of 220 million yuan, and here, each part is divided equally.

Harley has a small row of new cars exposed, and the new sports retro HD4XX is tested in India.

Shortly after the Harley Flat Tracker-style small-row retro X350 was listed in China, spy photos of new car development and testing came from overseas. Surprisingly, this time it was still a small-row model, but this time it moved to India. Like Qianjiang in China, Harley’s strategic partner in India is Hero, a local motorcycle giant. It was also a long time ago that the small platoon plan came out. It seems that Harley is gradually fulfilling its vision made in that year.

Although the picture has been processed, the general appearance and details of the new car have been exposed, which is similar to the domestic X350. Instead of adopting the Prince Cruise style that Harley is good at, it tends to be similar to the new sports retro street cars such as Honda CB300R and Huvana Black Arrow 401. In addition to the retro elements of the round lamp, the round watch and the round rearview mirror, the fuel tank with three-dimensional ridgelines, the shock absorption before inversion, the fender integrated at the rear of the car and the license plate frame all adopt the elements of the modern sports street car.

From the HD 4XX displayed on the rear number plate, we can preliminarily judge its model code and displacement. Foreign media speculated that the power of the new car may be a 420cc single-cylinder air-oil cooled engine, and the maximum horsepower is expected to exceed 30 horsepower. Compared with the local retro cars such as Jiawa 300, Royal enfield 350 and Honda H’ness CB350, the performance is still relatively strong.

There are many details on the new car, such as LED headlights with lenses and daytime running lights, TFT multi-function instruments, front and rear disc brakes, double piston calipers, ABS anti-lock braking system, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels at the front 18 and rear, 140/70 tires at the front 100/90, double guns and rear shock absorption, etc. At present, the first exposure of India’s Harley HD420 has reached a high degree of completion, and the next time you see it, you may have color spy photos and power parameters. Harley is also very concerned about playing with small displacement. There is also a 500cc queue in China. The key is that their prices will not be as expensive as traditional Harley. Like motorcycle information, pay attention to Lao Kai, like comments, collect and share!

Comparing 25 models of Krypton 001, Tengshi N7 and Aouita 12, who is the "real fragrance" choice in pure electricity field?

With the end of the Eleventh Holiday, many people have experienced the convenience of intelligent configuration of new energy vehicles. Intelligent cockpit and autopilot system undoubtedly add a lot of fun to modern travel. Then, how to choose a pure electric vehicle with a budget of around 300,000, which is both luxurious, comfortable and intelligent? Today, we will compare three popular models-the 2025 Extreme Krypton 001,, and see who is more competitive in terms of intelligent driving and overall performance.

First, let’s look at the 2025 Krypton 001. As one of the flagship models of Krypton brand, it has made a remarkable breakthrough in the field of intelligent driving. Equipped with the vast intelligent driving 2.0 system, the core is equipped with two NVIDIA Orin-X intelligent driving chips, finally reaching 508TOPS. This powerful computing power not only enables it to cope with complex road conditions, but also performs particularly well in parking, city driving and high-speed driving.

Thanks to the deep integration of Scene Cognitive Macromodel (SCM) and Interactive Regulatory Macromodel (IPM). SCM supports the identification of more than 1000 new traffic scenes, which improves the accuracy by 120%, while IPM realizes more accurate path planning and decision-making ability by simulating the driving mode of old drivers. In addition, the new car is equipped with a 200-meter long-range lidar and a variety of sensors, which can perceive and identify the surrounding environment in real time and provide comprehensive protection for safe driving.

Next, let’s take a look at Tengshi N7, a medium-sized coupe SUV that focuses on youthfulness and luxury, and also performs well in intelligent driving. According to different configurations, Tengshi N7 provides two sets of driver assistance systems, DiPilot 100 and DiPilot 300. Among them, the high-end version of DiPilot 300 has 33 sensors including dual lidar, millimeter-wave radar and 800W pixel binocular camera, which can realize high-precision automatic driving function. In addition, this car also supports high-speed navigation, city navigation and narrow road traffic, providing a full-scene driving assistance experience. Although Tengshi N7′ s performance in the field of intelligent driving is slightly inferior to that of the "first echelon" model, its function is practical and easy to use, and it is not a problem to meet the daily needs of most users.

Last but not least, Aouita 12, as a strong competitor in the field of intelligent driving, is equipped with Huawei ADS 2.0 system, with three laser radars and 29 sensors as standard, realizing high-order automatic driving function. Different from the traditional scheme that relies on high-precision maps, Aouita 12′ s NCA function can achieve unimpeded nationwide, and its adaptability is very strong. In addition, Aouita 12 constantly optimizes its driving functions through OTA update, such as the use of tidal lane and bus lanes, and the newly added lateral anti-collision function, all of which improve the safety and convenience of vehicles.

Through the comparison of these three models, it is not difficult to see that they have achieved good results in the field of intelligent driving. With the powerful integration of hardware and software, the 2025 Extreme Krypton 001 is obviously superior to the other two models in intelligent driving performance. Tengshi N7 has won the favor of many users for its practicality, while Aouita 12 has become a dark horse in the field of intelligent driving relying on Huawei’s technical strength. So, which one will be your ideal car?

3,400 intelligent networked vehicles in Changsha have landed to build the world’s largest vehicle networking application.

  China News Service, Changsha, September 8 (Fu Jingyi) "We have built the world’s largest car networking application and promoted its landing. At present, 3,400 intelligent networked vehicles have landed in Changsha." Ma Wei, co-founder and CEO of Changsha Intelligent Driving Research Institute, revealed on the 8th that in the future, Changsha will control public transport, municipal vehicles and traffic lights by car networking throughout the city to create a new ecology of smart cities.

  Intelligent networked car is a self-driving car that can access the Internet, has multiple sensors, can send and receive signals, sense the surrounding physical environment, and interact with other vehicles or entities. At the 2020 Internet Yuelu Summit, which opened in Changsha on the same day, Ma Wei delivered a speech entitled "The Internet of Vehicles Helps Smart Transportation-The Advanced Way for the Development of a Self-driving City? "Speech.

  Ma Wei introduced that the practice of Changsha’s self-driving city has gone through three years. In 2018, the largest autonomous driving test area in China was opened, with 1,230 mu of 5G full coverage. In 2019, the closed-loop project of intelligent networked vehicles was completed. The test area has 100 kilometers of high-speed and 100 square kilometers of urban roads, and the largest open road vehicle networking coverage in China was completed, as well as the landing test of Baidu driverless taxis, heavy trucks and sanitation vehicles.

  Ma Wei said that in 2020, Changsha put forward the requirement of intelligent networked vehicles to complete the closed-loop market, so that citizens can enjoy the benefits of intelligent networked vehicles. Therefore, the research institute cooperated with Xiangjiang New District to find out the just-needed application of active bus priority, and built the world’s largest car networking application and promoted its landing. "We use the Internet of Vehicles to control traffic lights throughout the city. When the bus approaches and sends a priority request, the traffic lights will be optimized according to the overall situation and released for the bus."

  On April 19, 2020, Baidu Apollo self-driving taxi was fully opened to the public in Changsha, with an operating range of about 100 square kilometers. Eleven days later, China’s first "Smart Bus Line 315" was opened to the public in Changsha.

  Ma Wei pointed out that the use of assisted driving on open roads has great potential for improving the convenience and effectiveness of urban traffic. Changsha, a self-driving taxi, is in the forefront, but it still faces three challenges: technical maturity, regulatory tolerance and cost control. (End)

Can Wuling Hongguang miniev get on the expressway?

In the trend of pursuing convenience and environmental protection, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is undoubtedly a dazzling star. This miniature pure electric vehicle is designed to shuttle on the highway to meet the needs of urban travel. Its power system is driven by a rear-mounted motor, which has strong rear-wheel driving force, the maximum power is 20kW, and the torque reaches 85Nm.

Hong Guang MINI EV has a compact body size, with a wheelbase of 1940mm, a length, width and height of 2917mm, 1493mm and 1621mm respectively, which makes it move freely in the city. In order to optimize the space utilization ratio, its rear suspension adopts non-independent design, which can not only expand the space of passenger compartment and trunk, but also reduce the manufacturing cost, help maintain the people-friendly price strategy, and thus enhance the market competitiveness.

Different from internal combustion engine vehicles, the advantages of pure electric vehicles lie in the quietness and high efficiency of their motors. On stop-and-go urban roads, the torque output mode of MINI EV enables it to exert powerful power at low speed without reaching high speed. This feature makes it particularly suitable for urban travel.

五菱宏光MINIEV
