　　The 2011 modern kung fu blockbuster "Cai Li Fo", co-directed by Hong Kong’s famous action directors Huang Mingsheng and Law Huide, and joined by kung fu superstars Hong Jinbao and Yuanhua, will be released on April 2.

　　"Tsai Lee Fook" can be said to be a "second generation" of stars. Hong Tianzhao, the son of kung fu superstar Hong Jinbao, plays the lead role in the film, Chen Yingjie. In the film, Kogan, the son of Masayoshi Kosugi, an active Japanese action star in Hollywood, plays Chen Yingjie’s close friend, Takeda, who came to China to find Tsai Lee Fook at the behest of his grandfather, and Kogan Kosugi is Jackie Chan’s only apprentice in Japan. In addition, Liu Yongjian and his father Liu Jiarong (the younger brother of Hong Kong’s southern boxing champion Liu Jialiang) and Qian Jingfeng (the son of action star Qian Xiaohao) also play important roles in the film.

　　There are many cool kung fu movements and gorgeous martial arts scenes in the movie. In order to achieve the true martial arts effect, all the actors practiced Cai Lifu boxing for two months and went into battle in person during the official shooting. Since the film has to complete many difficult movements during the shooting process, the actors will inevitably get injured during the filming.

　　In one scene, Liu Yongjian was about to run and jump, but he accidentally fell to the ground, causing blood to flow from the back of his head. Kobayashi was also injured repeatedly during the scenes of the showdown with Muay Thai masters and the final ring match of the movie. But these second-generation stars did not stop filming because of the pain they suffered. After simple wounds were treated, they still insisted on finishing the scene with injuries. It can be seen from these actors that they are dedicated to their work, and it can be seen that they attach great importance to this drama. Therefore, during the two-month shooting period of the film, the whole crew shared more than 100 Yunnan Baiyao. The director joked that "we are the most effective crew in history."

　　In addition, because the film is based on China’s Cai Lifo Boxing, which, like Foshan Huang Feihong and Shunde Bruce Lee, belongs to the birthplace of Nanquan martial arts. As the only boxing technique in the southern school that has successfully applied for national intangible cultural heritage, Cai Lifo Boxing has a good market and reputation overseas. Jiangmen is the largest hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong, so it was also strongly supported by government departments during the filming of "Cai Lifo".
