Chu Yuan, the director of "The Originator of Hong Kong Martial Arts Movies", died of illness. What works did he play before his death?
Chu Yuan directed many films, but Chu Yuan is not only an outstanding director, but also an excellent actor. He has appeared in many plays and movies. As an internationally renowned director, he can boldly retire while directing the sequence and become an ordinary actor, playing large and small roles in the film. For example, in the two films with Jackie Chan, Shuanglong Club, Thunderstorm and Never Admit Losing, Chu Yuan played the villain Zhu Tao in the two films Never Admit Losing. However, because most of Chu Yuan's screen images are gentle and amiable, the image effect of villains has not achieved the expected effect.
However, Chu Yuan's role, such as Mr. Nice guy, is generally recognized by the audience. For example, Justice Cheng Letian, who plays Jessica Hester Hsuan's father in Court No.1, is sensible and amiable and has a convincing feeling. In "Four Talents in Golden Clothes", he also played the role of Shen Zhou, the owner of Beijing Sixth Art Museum, a lovely little old man, who created a perfect image and was humorous and considerate. Playing a terminally ill old man in Negotiator, he realized the true meaning of life in the film, which also benefited many actors. Cheng Shouzhong, a loyal and kind gentleman, is played in Sister Tuoqiang, but in the play, he and Ma Hailun are a couple with typical bad wives. In addition, Chu Yuan, played by him, also portrayed the role of Tathagata in The Journey to the West, and his screen roles were very colorful and impressive.
