Yu Jim Yuen (1905-1997): teacher of Hong Kong's famous action instructors, born in 1905 in the troubled timesShuntian Mansion(Today's Beijing).When he was young, he was a famous Peking Opera actor. Later, when he went to Hong Kong, he performed both on the stage and on the screen.Because life forced him to establish“Chinese dramaAlthough the name of "Research Institute" is deceptive, its scale is only medium among many drama schools in Hong Kong, and the school buildings are dilapidated and the conditions are simple.
Fortunately, Shifu did not mislead his children. He taught them seriously and the children studied hard.ApprenticeGuan Zhengliang、Yuanting、Yuanhua、Hong Jinbao、Yuan Kui、Yuanbin、Yuande、Yuan Biao, Yuanlou (i.eJackie Chan）, Yuanqing (i.eYuan Heping, followed Yu Zhanyuan to learn martial arts for more than a year), etc.The "Seven Little Blessings" was created by Yu Zhanyuan for his disciplesBeijing OperaIt is also the general name of his group of proud disciples. There are dozens of disciples in this group, among which the most stable and outstanding ones are said to be Yuan Long, Yuan Lou, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan DeYuanwuSeven people (Note: Jackie Chan's stage name at that time was Yuanlou, and Yuanlong was the stage name of Senior Brother Hong Jinbao.)
Later, when Hong Jinbao, who is two years older than Jackie Chan, left the film world first, Jackie Chan won the name of Yuan Long.And of courseYuanqiuBecause the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan formed a "Seven Little Blessings" theatrical troupe, which not only allowed his disciples to increase their performance experience, but also earned some money, which is called "killing two birds with one stone".This is the embryonic form of the famous "Seven Little Blessings" that later had a profound impact on Hong Kong and even the world film world, and in the eyes of movie fans.Later, in the movie Seven Little Blessings, Hong Jinbao played a mentor.After the 1960s, they continued to enter the film circle as dragon and tiger martial artists, doubles and even leading actors, and gradually became the most important group of filmmakers in the 1980s.
Yu Zhanyuan's own achievements in the film industry are very modest, but several of his apprentices are still the mainstay or even the best in Hong Kong films.Including his daughterYu SuqiuShe played the leading role in such works as Tathagata's Divine Palm in the 1960s.
The mainland in the 34sWarlord scuffleWhile Hong Kong's opera industry is thriving, it is hard to do anything.Yu Zhanyuan, who was born in Beijing, like many artists from the North, went south to Hong Kong to seek a way out.Yu Zhanyuan didn't do much when he arrived in Hong Kong, but his little daughterYu SuqiuHe came to the fore and opened a new road - he began to make films in the film company of Hong Zhonghao and others in the late 1940s.
By the early 1950s, Yu Suqiu had become famous. Yu Zhanyuan occasionally played guest roles in films starring his daughter, such as Qin Liangyu《The sword ties the knot》These.Accidental acting companyMake a small fussNot really. What Yu Zhanyuan is good at and likes is still his familiar operas. After consideration, Yu Zhanyuan took an important step in his life and founded the "Chinese Drama Research Institute".
Yu Zhanyuan was not a celebrity in Hong Kong, nor did he run a senior colonel, so he did not cause much response.But after all, there is a skill. It is not a deceitful school. Lu Liuxu also received some students. For example, Hong Zhonghao, Yu Suqiu's boss and the director of South China Film Factory, saw that his grandson Hong Jinbao was naughty, and sent Hong Jinbao to the "China Theater Academy".
The original intention of the "China Theater Academy" was not to send people to the film industry. At that time, the market for opera was good, and the school intended to teach outstanding children in the pear garden, so it followed the tradition of the pear garden rules and strictly studied.But the teachers in the school at that time - likeGuan ZhengliangPeople like Yu Zhanyuan, who is also a dragon and tiger martial artist in the movie martial arts, suggested that Yu Zhanyuan might as well let these young disciples go to the movie industry to exercise.
The film income is quite good, and some small actors are really needed. Therefore, since the 1960s, some elementary school students have been able to make an exception to the film shop.But on the days when there is no filming, they still need to go to Liyuan (not Liyuan) and other places to perform opera.
Around 1968, with the decline of opera, Liyuan changed, and the "China Drama Academy" was struggling.Some students who graduated from the full normal university have followedHan YingjieWhen the senior enters the movie martial arts.Yu Zhanyuan felt that there was still a market in the United States, so he took another group of students to perform in the United States.
The Chinese Academy of Drama Studies has also come to an end.
This opera school, which was ordinary at that time, was not outstanding. It seemed that it was almost the film industry of Hong Kong“Huangpu Military Academy”, generals come forth in large numbers, which has a profound impactPort film(especially action movies) history.
In fact, compared with other opera schools, the China Academy of Drama has no advantages.In terms of debut time, most of us are children who mixed up in the film industry in the 1960s;On the relationship between film circles, fansHome classThere are big starsChen Baozhu、Xiao Fangfang, Oriental Drama SchoolTang Di；In terms of basic skills, who is afraid of who, who can be better than who
But when it comes to solidarity, the Chinese drama school is far superior to other schools.Of course, at the beginning, they benefited from their senior brother Hong Jinbao, who had the charisma to unite all the senior brothers,ActiveWork together, eat together, and make the world come true slowly.And here we areJackie Chan、Yuan Biao、Yuan Kui、YuanhuaAfter they became famous, the mutual cooperation between Yuanjia classes continued for decades, which was not found in other drama schools.
Therefore, other schools only stand out from the crowd and their names disappear. However, the "Yuan Family Class" and "Seven Little Blessings" of the Chinese Drama School are oftenBe treated asBring it up collectively.
"Seven little blessings" is another concept.Yu Zhanyuan has given more than 100 apprentices. Strictly speaking, not all students of Chinese drama schools can call them members of the "Seven Little Blessings". Of course,Non scientificIt is not necessary to be so strict in the field of "seven blessings", so it is right to say that they are all "seven blessings".
What are the seven blessings?This has to start from decades ago.
In 1962, Hong Kong "Maolin Cinema" wanted to start shooting a series of "The Princess and the Seven Little Swordsmen", and selected the so-called "Maolin Seven Treasures" from Yu Zhanyuan's "China Drama School"Yuanqiu、YuanhuaYuan Hong, Yuan Fu and Yuan Sheng play "Seven Little Swordsmen".And Master Yu Zhanyuan is from the filmWushu Guidance。
After the film was shot, Yu Zhanyuan was deeply inspired by the name of "Seven Little Swordsmen", thus creating a Peking Opera troupe of "Seven Little Lucks", and began to perform in Liyuan and other places.As time goes by, he is also famous.(Note: The origin of Seven Little Blessings should be consistent withWu HuiThe director's 1961 film "Seven Little Blessings" also has some relationship
Although it is called "Seven Little Blessings", in fact, the staff is not fixed, and there are far more than seven people. Yuanhua acceptedZheng PeipeiWhen interviewed by others, they said that Master Yu Zhanyuan would arrange the combination according to different occasions in those years. More often, there would be three or four groups of "seven blessings" performing in different places such as "Liyuan" at the same time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong JinbaoJackie Chan、Yuan Biao、Yuan Kui、Yuanhua、Yuanbin、YuandeWhen several martial brothers became famous, the outside world mistook the "Seven Little Blessings" for Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan.

It was Hong JinbaoJackie ChanTheir elder martial brother.
He left the Chinese Drama School and entered the film circle around 1965. At that time, he was filming in Shao Shi and other companies.His performance in the film was average, and later he and Han YingjieHu JinquanIn the movieWushu GuidanceWhen we got on the right boat, our achievements were excellent. But except for the films of Hu Jinquan, most of the other films we participated in were just so so.
In the 1990s, Hu Jinquan fell into the dilemma of having no films to shoot.Disciple who used to work beside himWu MingcaiAnd Hong Jinbao came out to support Hu Jinquan《Painted Skin: Yin and Yang Dharma King》。But no one could have imagined that "Painting" was Hu Jinquan's last work.

The members at that time were Wu Mingcai, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan FuYuande、Yuan Kui, Yuanchang, Yuanbao, etc.These people have their own abilities, but they are leaderless. Together, they are just a ragtag crowd, far from giving full play to their power. Only a few photos are taken《Frozen Hero》、《Act without remorse》, "Du Yuesheng, a Shanghai tycoon", "Play with Pygmies" and a few other films were called off.

After arriving in Hong Kong, he sent Yuanqiu to Yu Zhanyuan because of the heavy family burden.At the age of 7, Zhan Yuan was introduced to the school. She ranked third among the hundreds of disciples Zhan Yuan received. Later, two other senior sisters immigratedCanadaShe was automatically upgraded to the senior sister of the Yuanjia class.

Later, Yu Zhanyuan founded the "Chinese Drama School". The couple funded Yu Zhanyuan and gave Yu Zhanyuan a pair of twins (Jin Long, Yin Long) and his eldest grandson Hong Jinbao to teach. Hong Pang and his two uncles were called triplets at that time because of their age.

In recent years, it seems that the yuan treasure with all its vicissitudes has been transferred back to the film industry,Du QifengI have seen him in "Underworld" and Er Dongsheng's "Disciple". It is needless to think that such a face will not have the role of a good person.
