"Running Man" ("Running Man" for short) was undoubtedly a shining star in the Chinese variety scene. From its first broadcast in 2014 to becoming a source of laughter after countless families’ dinners, "Running Man" has allowed audiences to witness a series of exciting, funny and touching moments. However, recently, another veteran member announced his withdrawal, causing countless fans to sigh. The joining of White Deer and Fan Chengcheng failed to prevent the star’s gradual decline. Is "Running Man" really reaching a bottleneck period?

1. The members withdrew again, causing the fate of the show to rise sharply

It is reported that the announcement of the retirement this time is one of the old members of "Running Man", whose humor and enthusiasm have greatly enhanced the show. The news quickly spread on social media and caused a huge response. Viewers expressed their disappointment and reluctance: "I feel that something is missing from the departure of the old member," one loyal viewer wrote on Weibo. Many people worry that such a change will leave the show with a lack of chemistry and a less natural atmosphere than in the past.

2. The show goes from peak to gradual cooling: there are obvious traces of personnel changes

The success of "Running Man" is no accident. Its core charm lies in the interaction and tacit understanding among the members. However, over time, the original members gradually withdrew and were replaced by fresh faces. However, these new members, although unique, have never been able to completely replace the old members in the hearts of the audience. Fan Chengcheng and Bailu are undoubtedly powerful entertainers, and they also contributed many highlights in the show, but overall, the show seems to have lost its original purity and joy.

3. The charm of old members: the reluctance of the audience

The veteran, who has announced his retirement, has become a classic in the hearts of audiences over the years of "Running Man." Every time he appears, he always provokes a burst of laughter and applause. His unique sense of humor and affinity make him a "seagogue needle" in the show. Audiences have deep feelings for these familiar faces, so when they leave, it is not just a blow to the show, but a test of audience emotions.

4. Bailu and Fan Chengcheng: Fresh blood is not enough to save established shows

The production team of "Running Man" had hoped to inspire new vitality by introducing young idols such as Bai Lu and Fan Chengcheng. Bai Lu won the love of many fans with his bright personality and solid acting skills; Fan Chengcheng’s addition also added a lot of freshness and excitement to the show. However, it turns out that relying solely on the personal charm of the new members is not enough to fully make up for the vacancy caused by the departure of the old members. In the face of huge variety show market competition, such adjustments seem to be a drop in the bucket.

5. The talent turnover of variety shows: a hidden concern that cannot be ignored

The replacement of artists is the norm in the entertainment industry, but for a long-running variety show, the frequent change of core members is undoubtedly a huge challenge. On the one hand, new members need time to break in with the show, and on the other hand, the audience also needs time to accept and like these new faces. However, when the audience has become accustomed to the existence of old members, the addition of new members often brings discomfort and resistance, rather than expectation and joy.

6. Social media reverberations: Audience calls for authenticity

On social media, many viewers expressed concern about the current state of the show: "I hope the program team can plan the lineup of members more stably and in the long run, and do not treat the audience’s emotions as child’s play." Such voices reflect the audience’s appeal for the production idea of the show – hoping to maintain the original style and characteristics of the show, rather than changing frequently to meet the rapidly changing needs of the market.

7. The future of Running Man: How to regain lost luster

How to maintain the vitality of the show through the replacement of new and old members is a major challenge for the production team of "Running Man". Perhaps through more careful planning and production, the new members can build a deep emotional bond with the old audience, which is the key to the resurgence of "Running Man". Variety shows need freshness, but more importantly, they need a stable core team to support their long-term development.

8. Implications for the entire variety show industry

The phenomenon of "Running Man" has also triggered deep reflection on the entire variety show industry. Will frequent member changes have a negative impact on the overall quality of the show? Does the high mobility of stars mean that the life cycle of variety shows will be shortened? These are all questions that need to be reflected and discussed by industry insiders.

9. Rise and Fall: The Reality of the Variety Show Life Cycle

Every variety show has its own life cycle, from the initial novelty and popularity to the gradual lackluster and fall back, which is an inevitable process. The key lies in how to continuously innovate and debug during this process to maintain the audience’s interest and attention. For "Running Man", how to regain the lost innocence and enthusiasm will be the key to whether it can continue to attract audiences in the future.

10. Conclusion: Audience expectations and future prospects

Although "Running Man" faces many challenges, we still hope that it can rediscover the happy time that once accompanied countless audiences through continuous adjustment and innovation. After all, a successful variety show is not only a stage for stars, but also the emotional sustenance of the audience. I hope that in the days to come, we can continue to see the infinite joy and surprises that "Running Man" brings to us on the screen.

In this case, viewers must be patient and continue to support their favorite shows and stars. Mindful production and audience engagement may be the key factors that will make "Running Man" work out of its predicament.

Faced with the serious exodus of fan fans, this week’s "Make an appointment! Big Star" will usher in the most exciting and visually impactful task in history – rugby. President Ruan Jingtian led Wei Chen and Huang Jingyu back to school and played a confrontation with the North Second Foreign Rugby Team that only belongs to the king. Maybe it’s because the temperature is too high, or maybe it’s really getting old. Since the warm-up event, the IQ of the three beautiful men in the House of Everything has been offline. During the official game, Lao Ruan’s legs cramped and fell to the ground. How can the old president stand up and lead the members to protect the dignity of the House of Everything?
　　
　　Warm up before the game "Yushen" brother’s IQ is urgent
　　
　　Although he had only seen rugby before, the house of everything still bravely accepted the challenge of the client. In the face of professional North Second Foreign Football players, it is naturally essential to warm up before the game. During the warm-up mini-game, the "Yuchen" brothers not only couldn’t figure out the rules of the game, but also couldn’t even figure out the even and singular numbers, so they could only involve their teammates to accompany them to push-ups. No wonder the subtitle team couldn’t help but complain: Have you two not studied mathematics?! During the subsequent pitching practice, Huang Jingyu almost hit the camera teacher with a ball, and Wei Chen shouted: "Accurate! Too accurate!" Could this be the rhythm of breaking the can? " Yushen "Brother’s IQ shouldn’t be baked by the sun! President Xiaotian is still counting on taking the two of you to win this game!
　　
　　The battle was intense "old man" Ruan Jingtian fought until his legs cramped
　　
　　Don’t look at the warm-up before the game, everyone is still talking and laughing, but when the game officially starts, the moment the helmet is put on, the members of the House of Everything also become serious, you know that football represents the king’s sport. Sweat to your heart’s content, sparks from body collisions, a game that exudes youth hormones is going on under the scorching sun. Maybe the game is too intense, President Xiaotian’s leg is accidentally injured, and he is lying on the ground in pain. After being massaged and soothed by his teammates, Ruan Jingtian even made a joke about himself: he is old, but his spirit is okay. But looking at Xu Lu’s expression, you can know that the president’s injury is not light, and I wonder if Xiaotian can continue to insist on the next game? What will be the results of the House of Everything where the president is absent?
　　
　　How did the "Yushen" brothers turn into fellow sufferers? How is the injury of President Xiaotian? More stories about youth hormones continue, this Thursday at 8 pm Tencent video "Make an appointment! Big star", take you to experience a wonderful game that is not lost in the European Cup!

　　A few days ago, starring Chen Turin and Li Chengbin, Mao Zijun starred, Lai Meiyun and Zhang Zining starred, Xu Muchan starred in a special friendship, Chen Xiaodong and Zhang Li starred in a friendship, and Jiang Yiming, Wang Xichao, Yang Yi, Xie Chengze, Xie Zichen, Zhang Tianqi and other co-starring Oriental fantasy film "Hua Qiangu" released the theme song "Painting for Life", composed and sung by singer Xu Song. "Painting for Life" focuses on the cause and effect of love, and writes a touching love song based on the story. The protagonist experiences love, hate, and anger, and is torn between personal love and helping the world. Based on Oriental fantasy colors, the film presents the rich theme of growth, transformation and relief. After nine years of companionship, it invites audiences to join the long-term stay. The movie "Flower Thousand Bones" will be released nationwide on January 20.

　　Beautiful Melody Interpretation of Unparalleled Love

　　In the theme song released today (January 11), with the melodious sound of the piano, a peerless love began, from the encounter between the girl Hua Qiangu and the master Baizi painting, to the mutual understanding attracted by each other in getting along, and then to the irresistible love. Despite countless hardships and ups and downs in the six realms of common life and pure love, they were still in danger to deal with their fateful choices, and finally achieved the transformation of life. And Xu Song used short words to write the pounding and regret in the story, using the painting as a metaphor, from the pounding of "the figure is longing, only your voice is taken", the longing of "who can love without me", to the trap of "painting as a cage, sealing the destruction and praise of life", to the yearning of "ink dyed the sky", "rain shaded wilderness mound", until the conclusion of "lighting the long-lasting candle with a smile", with imaginative deep strokes to outline the thoughts of life. Combined with Xu Song’s gentle tone, he sings leisurely to connect the thousand-year-old immortal world and the current mortal world.

　　In terms of music, "Painting Life" describes the film style, uses a large number of classical musical instruments to arrange, and the whole song is antique, combining the beauty of the immortal world and the love of Hua Qiangu Baizi’s painting. Whether it is the delicate and elegant folk music, the magnificent and solemn orchestral ensemble, or the affectionate singing, they all highly resonate with the texture of the "Hua Qiangu" film. The melody is integrated with the tone of the story, and listening to this work alone can not only feel the expression of personal emotions, but also read the inspiration for the meaning of life. The songwriting of music genius Xu Song, the arrangement of Chinese classical charm, the melody of modern pop, and his own unique natural and profound singing voice make the whole music seamless and pull the listener into the peerless love song full of fate.

　　Take the painting as a thought and sing a fantastic love

　　In the promotional video released, introduced by the melody of singer Xu Song’s "Painting Life", Hua Qiangu and Baizi Painting began to become attached to their teacher, and an undetermined fate entanglement began. Hua Qiangu experienced a solo adventure, and finally stayed to become an apprentice for a long time, spending a quiet time with Baizi Painting, and then the storm broke out, and the disaster came. Hua Qiangu experienced love and hate, obsession and delusion in the arrangement of fate. As the melody of the song approached its climax, "Ink dyed the sky, missing like a trapped beast", the loss and greed, resentment and grievance given by fate pushed Hua Qiangu, who was once pure and happy, into the abyss of pain. Watching the loved ones leave one by one, the broken thoughts have been broken, even the pen and ink "painting life" in the song can no longer heal the scars in the hearts of Hua Qiangu and Baizi.

　　In the song, Xu Song sang about the love-hate entanglement between Hua Qiangu and Baizi Hua. He only hoped that the people in the six realms could not be trapped by their own obsessions. Suffering and bliss are all fate. If they are obsessed and persistent, they will only turn the brush that writes a better future into a cage that prohibits the soul. Near the release of the movie, the song "Painting Life" is even more exciting. In the movie, Hua Qiangu, Baizi Hua and a group of characters will write how this long life will be written.

　　The movie "Hua Qiangu" is produced by Tang Lijun as producer, Li Jinwen as producer, Zhang Chaoli as director, Zhu Yuhan as screenwriter, Zhang Wenbao as director of photography, Guo Yongren as action director, Li Zhou as director of modeling, Wang Jingjing as art director, A Kun as music director, Lin Aner as editing director, the film will be officially released on January 20, so stay tuned for this romantic fantasy love story.

Citizens buy instant noodles in supermarkets. Photo by our reporter Yuan Tieli

　　The rise of online takeout has had a direct impact on instant noodles, and the consumer groups of the two are highly compatible. Many young people who used to live at home and live on instant noodles are the main force of online consumption. Now, you can wait for a meal after paying online, which is even easier than soaking instant noodles.

　　More importantly, online food delivery is obviously much better than instant noodles in terms of taste and meal size.

　　Online takeaway is developing rapidly, while the instant noodle industry is shrinking. Will online takeaway be the terminator of instant noodles?

　　Over the past few days, various institutions and platforms have been releasing big data on the takeaway industry, research reports on the takeaway industry, and white papers on catering takeout. From this information, it can be seen that the development of online takeout has indeed been very rapid in the past two years. On the contrary, the sales and performance of instant noodle giants have been shrinking year by year.

　　Recently, a reporter from Chongqing Morning Post conducted a survey of the instant noodle market in our city.

　　1 in 10 people order takeout once a day

　　According to iiMedia Research data, in the first half of 2017, the high-frequency client base that carried out online takeaway catering consumption at least once a week accounted for nearly 80%, of which 10.2% of online users consumed an average of one or more times a day.

　　That is to say, at least one in 10 people ordered takeout once a day.

　　Among these people who order food for takeout, the main group is middle-income white-collar workers. The data shows that among the high-frequency click groups for takeout, 82.3% of users have an income distribution of 3,000-10,000 yuan, and 7.1% of users have an income of more than 10,000 yuan.

　　And these people happen to like the Internet and stay at home, making them the main consumers of instant noodles.

　　According to China’s takeaway big data, the size of our country’s O2O takeaway market has exceeded 100 billion yuan in 2016, and it is expected to break through 700 billion yuan by 2020.

　　According to the statistics from the Ele.me food delivery platform, Ele.me has provided takeaway services for nearly one-tenth of the population in China, and has generated income for merchants with a cumulative 2 million +. It is expected that the penetration rate of takeaway users will reach 80% in 2020, and the user scale will reach 600 million.

　　Instant noodles are gradually falling out of favor

　　In contrast to the fission rise of online takeaway big data, the data of the instant noodle market can be said to be quite "ugly".

　　Data from the World Instant Noodle Association shows that in 2016, the Chinese mainland consumed 38.50 billion, down 17% year-on-year. Consumption reached 46.20 billion in 2013. Unity Group’s net profit in the first half of 2017 fell by 26.5% year-on-year, and instant noodles are falling out of favor in the Chinese market.

　　According to Nielsen statistics, Tingyi and Unified’s market share has occupied more than 70% of China’s instant noodle market for many years. But since last year, the financial reports of the two companies have been constantly reminding of risks, and the instant noodle business has been declining.

　　Last year, according to Nielsen’s statistics of 22 instant noodle companies across the country, nine of them experienced a decline in sales, and many brands have begun to adjust their business direction.

　　Supermarket instant noodle locations reduced by 30%

　　The reporter visited major supermarkets in our city yesterday and found that the instant noodles that used to occupy the prominent position of fast-moving consumer goods have been compressed to a relatively small position. And at the counter where the instant noodles are placed, some convenient fast food products such as self-heating instant rice and self-heating micro-hot pot are also placed.

　　"Now it has shrunk by a third," a promoter at the Golden Guanyin store in Carrefour told reporters. Not only has the area been reduced, but the sales of instant noodles are also much worse than before.

　　Afterwards, the reporter saw at Chongbai, New Century and Yonghui near Guanyin Bridge that the exhibition stands of instant noodles were indeed much smaller than before. However, there were many more varieties and brands of instant noodles than before.

　　In addition to the old-fashioned Master Kong and Unity, there are also South Korean Nongxin Xin Ramen, Baijia, Hewei, Yangyang, Tangdaren and other brands. In terms of taste, many new products have appeared.

　　Consumers only bring instant noodles when they travel

　　Regarding the purchase of instant noodles, the reporter randomly asked some citizens, and most of them said that on the one hand, due to the same practice for many years, they rarely buy instant noodles due to health reasons; on the other hand, instant noodles are being replaced by takeaway and self-heating food.

　　"Now there is almost no need to buy instant noodles. Even if you want to have supper in the middle of the night, you can order food online, it is more convenient to deliver it to your home, and the taste is more moisturizing than instant noodles." One young man said he had indeed not bought instant noodles for a long time.

　　An aunt told reporters that for health reasons, she also reminds her children to eat less convenience food. However, every time she goes out, she still has to prepare some instant noodles to satisfy her hunger during the journey.

　　The instant noodle market is not going away

　　Although the instant noodle industry has innovative products and flavors, it is still unable to fundamentally stop the impact of online takeout on the instant noodle market.

　　Professor Shen Hongbing of the School of Economics and Trade of Chongqing Technology and Business University believes that with the development of the Internet, the rise of takeout is inevitable, which reflects people’s higher requirements for quality of life and greater emphasis on health and nutrition.

　　Instant noodles have been popular for decades, but the production technology content of the industry itself is not high. However, big brands will still have a relative market, and the market structure will still be relatively stable.

　　"In the future, the market share of instant noodles will shrink greatly, but it will not disappear."

　　He believes that the overall technological innovation, scale innovation, and brand innovation of the instant noodle industry are all difficult, but fast food and fast food cakes are expanding rapidly. Therefore, these instant noodle companies can explore a lot of innovation space in the fields of fast-moving consumer goods and snack foods, and there is still a large blue ocean waiting to be developed.

　　China Review Agency reporter:Jackie Chan, we know that you won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement last November and became the first filmmaker in China to receive this honor. I remember that your acceptance speech left a deep impression on me, especially when you mentioned that you are proud to be Chinese. I wonder if you could share with us how you felt at that time. Also, how do you think Chinese films can better go global? Thanks.

　　Jackie Chan:When I received the notification from the Oscars that I would win the Lifetime Achievement Award, first, I felt unconvinced, and second, I felt that I was too young to win this award. However, I also happily accepted it. Because I never thought that I would win this award, because forty years ago we made low-budget vulgar action movies. How could we win the award?! Whether it was the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flowers Award, the Academy Award, or the Oscar, it was too far away. But for every play, at that time, we shot, for example, "Serpentine Tiaoshou" and "Drunk Fist". 250,000, 500,000 finished filming a play, a movie, that is, an empty space, a temple. And there is no plot, it is always what you see me doing, playing for half an hour, there is no plot. I will always shoot some characters that are not suitable for me. In the "Norwegian era" filming "Hero", many girls liked me, and I was surprised. How could girls like me, with big noses and small eyes. I finally made a name for myself, and I learned from Bruce Lee, I was not Bruce Lee at all, so none of them could succeed in that era.

　　I made an action comedy by myself, and I succeeded. I broke out of Asia, thinking it was okay. I flew to the United States for 16 hours, people looked at you, performed a set of boxing, went back, and played another set of kung fu. I can’t speak English, let’s go. My only purpose is to be an international superstar. Then I went to the United States to learn English, and I went to make some movies that were not suitable for me. I shot a young man born in the United States, who can’t speak English. They said you have to learn to beat someone down with one punch, how come you have already kicked 8 kicks, and that person is still standing there. As a result, according to their wishes, I didn’t have the strength to speak. No one watched the movie when it came out, not only did no one watch it in the United States, but no one watched it when I returned to the I gave up on the American market and still bought my own stuff. I continued to shoot some hard-working action movies without stunts or real kung fu. I broke my foot in the morning and started work in the afternoon. Regardless of whether the box office was good or not, I went to shoot with my heart.

　　56 years later, I received a call from Oscar asking me to win this award. I realized that if you insist on doing something, no matter whether anyone sees it or not, no matter whether anyone knows that you shoot with your heart, no matter whether it is all walks of life, one day someone will appreciate you. Today, Oscar came to me, not me. So if you insist on doing one thing, everything will come to you. My movie has been successful in many places. Many people say that you are our Chinese business card, giving me too much pressure. I said, how can I make better Chinese movies? In the process of making movies, I have also matured and grown up. When I was in Africa, all the children followed me. I said, it turns out that my actions can affect so many people. I will be more careful when making movies in the future. In addition to playing, I will also add Chinese culture. When I go to any occasion by myself, I will definitely wear a Tang suit to let people know that I am Chinese. In the last few months, I have to hold a meeting. The bosses of several major companies are waiting for me. My plane is late. I told my assistant if I can have a meeting again tomorrow. He said that everyone is waiting for you. "Rush Hour 4" and "Shanghai Noon" are now going to shoot 3. I said this will not work, that will not work. All of them listen to me, and everyone is OK. My assistant came over, big brother, you are awesome, you are awesome now. I said it’s not my cow, but today’s Chinese market makes me cow. Today, people from all over the world want to come to China to share this share. So, do one thing with your heart, there are 1.4 billion Chinese people, and our filmmakers will soon go better as long as they work hard, because more foreigners will cooperate with us to jointly promote Chinese culture to go global. As long as you work hard, all your dreams will come to you.

　 　 The most classic Chinese kung fu film is about to be remade again. The reporter learned from the filmmaker yesterday that "Huang Feihong’s Hero has a Dream", which is jointly invested by Anle Film Co., Ltd., Wanyuan Gravity Film Co., Ltd., Shengfei International Digital Special Effects Production Co., Ltd. and other parties 80 million RMB, will start filming in Shanghai and Wuzhen. The film recruits the strongest soldiers in the Chinese film industry, and in line with the tenet of "challenging the classics and replicating the classics", creates a new version of the classic kung fu film and pushes it to the world. At the same time as announcing the shooting plan, the filmmaker also announced the first batch of main creators yesterday, and all stars such as Hong Jinbao, Jing Boran, Wang Zulan, Zhang Jin and Feng Jiayi joined. Jiang Zhiqiang, Liu Erdong and Ho Yunming are the film producers, the director is Chow Hsien Yang, and the screenwriter is Du Zhilang, a talented Hong Kong woman. At the same time, Yuen Kui is the action director, and Liu Fang is the martial arts director. The most talked-about role of Huang Feihong remains mysterious.

Challenge the classics, copy the classics

　 　 "Wong Fei Hung’s Heroes Have Dreams" was produced by former gold producer Jiang Zhiqiang. Directed by Hong Kong director Chow Hsien Yang, the former director of "The Great Hunt" and the latter is the screenwriter of He.

　 　 After 20 years of filming Tsui Hark’s version of "Wong Fei Hung", it is no small ambition to challenge the kung fu classics again. In this regard, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang said that this move is actually to make some efforts for the kung fu genre. "I have sold a lot of films abroad, and I deeply feel that only kung fu films can travel all over the world in Chinese movies. But after so many years, in the Chinese film world, there are fewer and fewer creators who can really make kung fu films. If you don’t make a classic, I am afraid that it will become a swan song. And’Wong Fei Hung ‘is the pinnacle of kung fu movies. We don’t want to challenge the classics, we only want to be able to copy the classics and leave the world a good
"No one has brought Wong Fei Hung to the big screen for more than 20 years," the director, Chow Hsien Yang, emphasized. "This is the longest’Wong Fei Hung vacuum ‘in Chinese film history since the 1950s. So this year is the best time to reshape the’new Wong Fei Hung series’. After a long preparation, I am full of confidence in it."

Real boxing, real kung fu

　 　 Continuing the previous Xu Ke version of the "Huang Feihong" series, this time "Huang Feihong" is subtitled "Heroes Have Dreams". It tells the story of the late Qing Dynasty, by the Pearl River wharf in Guangzhou, the Black Tiger Gang carried out despicable human trafficking activities. Huang Feihong was very anxious when he saw it. He and his friends cleverly set a trap, saved the poor, created a new world with their hands, and began Huang Feihong’s legendary life…

　 　 "Wong Fei Hung is an example of an Oriental superhero. This time’Wong Fei Hung ‘wants to talk about dreams, the spirit of’knowing that you can’t do it and doing it’. In times of despair, with personal will, self-improvement belief, and strong physique, you can achieve the impossible. I firmly believe that perseverance is the final victory. Start with your own beliefs and expand them to infect others and unite everyone. This is: Wong Fei Hung." Zhou Xianyang introduced that the film will retain the essence of many "Wong Fei Hung" movies. "The biggest feature is that all our actors must really fight real punches and have real kung fu. Therefore, every actor who enters the group to act will basically come to practice in advance. So far, everyone’s progress has been rapid, which makes me very confident in the movie."
It is reported that in order to show the real boxing and real kung fu, the film also specially invited the international action director Yuan Kui as the action director to train the actors in martial arts moves. At the same time, the famous Nanquan master was also invited to teach boxing for several main creators. "I know that filming’Wong Fei Hung ‘is very stressful, but our determination is greater, and perseverance will be the greatest," the director said.

Hong Jinbao led Jing Boran to join

　 　 Since the real boxing is real kung fu, the cast of "Wong Fei Hung’s Hero has a Dream" is also highly anticipated. Hong Kong movie veteran actor Hong Jinbao, film and television song king Jing Boran, kung fu star Zhang Jin, as well as popular superstar Wang Zulan and powerful actor Feng Jiayi are the first to be announced.

　 　 Among them, Hong Jinbao is the big brother of kung fu movies, leading "Qi Xiaofu" including Jackie Chan to pioneer a new genre of Chinese movies. Joining "Huang Feihong" this time is also intended to revive kung fu movies and create a new world of movies in this genre. Jing Boran, the little king of the mainland, has starred in just a few years, and Teng Huatao’s new play with him as the male lead is about to be released. It has been regarded as one of the most promising male actors in the industry in the future.

　 　 The actor, Zhang Jin, is a national champion of martial arts in Chen-style tai chi and tai chi swords, as well as a champion of spear and swordsmanship. He has appeared in several kung fu movies, including the impressive Ma San in Wong Kar-wai. Wang Zulan played a character in "Wong Fei Hung," challenging his comedic character. As for Feng Jiayi, who has performed splendidly in TV series such as "Double-sided Tape," "Wo Ju Ju" and "Naked Marriage Times," this time he will play the boss of the Black Tiger Gang in "Wong Fei Hung," which is his period costume debut.

　 　 The director, Chow Hsien Yang, said that he had spent months watching the actors’ works and trying on makeup. "This story needs a big brother like Samuel Hung to be in charge, and we also hope that a group of young people such as Jing Boran will bring more youthful elements to the film." He also revealed that Hong Jinbao will play a domineering villain in the film this time. However, the director said that there is still suspense about the choice of the core character Huang Feihong.
