He and the "Emperor of Kung Fu" Jet Li are from the same school and are Jet Li's elder brothers, but the fates of the two brothers are completely different.
In the heyday of the 80s, he was as famous as Jet Li, and starred in film and television dramas such as "Golden Dart Huang Tianba", "A Generation of Gun King" and "Shen Wrestling Zhen San".
However, his career development has not continued to rise, so that now only some old viewers still remember him - he is Wang Qun.
Wang Qun was married twice and then divorced twice, and his two sons remained with their respective mothers. In 2008, he died of a heart attack at the age of 48.
However, what no one expected was that only a year after Wang Qun's death, his youngest son would sue his half-brother and Wang Qun's mother.
In order to fight for the inheritance, there is a fierce fight between the brothers, and the family affection fades, which is very sad.
It has been 16 years since Wang Qun's death, and now that the talent of martial arts actors is declining, people can't help but recall his style ...... back then
Wang Qun, a Beijinger born in 1960, embarked on the road of martial arts actors, which was actually an accident.
His parents were ordinary people, and the family had no academic origins.
He really started learning martial arts at the age of 9, when he was studying at Changqiao Primary School in Xicheng District, Beijing.
That year, Coach Wu Bin came to the school to recruit students and provided the opportunity to learn martial arts.
Wang Qun's physical education teacher and Wu Bin were classmates at Beijing Institute of Physical Education, and he was very optimistic about Wang Qun and thought that he was a very potential student, so he recommended him to Wu Bin.
In Wu Bin's opinion, Wang Qun was very suitable for learning martial arts, so he stayed. At that time, the enrollment work had not yet been officially launched, but Wu Bin intended to cultivate Wang Qun, so he always followed him, and it can be said that Wang Qun followed Wu Bin all the way to participate in the enrollment work.
After many selections, thousands of children who showed a strong interest in wushu participated in the recruitment, but in the end, only a few were successfully selected for the Beijing wushu team, and Wang Qun became the captain.
Under Wu Bin's guidance, Wang Qun made rapid progress. At the same time, as a "big brother", he took on more responsibilities and became a role model, which made him more demanding of himself, and finally developed an excellent skill.
Since 1974, the Beijing Wushu team has participated in national wushu competitions and has won the team championship 14 times.
In addition, Wang Qun won the honorary title of sparring champion and spearmanship runner-up in the individual competition.
Jet Li joined the Beijing wushu team three years after Wang Qun, and his first wife, Huang Qiuyan, was also a member of the wushu team.
At that time, Wang Qun and Jet Li were like brothers, and their friendship was very deep. However, the fate of these good brothers is very different.
Wang Qun was invited to join the three-company co-production project of "Treasure Hunting" in 1979, and the crew went to the Beijing martial arts team for actor selection, and finally selected him to play the role of "God Hand Zhang".
In order to participate in the filming of this film, Wang Qun not only received intensive training in acting, but also learned martial arts choreography and film editing. After much study, he was finally able to join the filming crew.
Fortunately, the final result was very good, and the 1982 film "Treasure Hunting" was released in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" was not released to the audience until six months later.
If this blank time can be used skillfully, Wang Qun's future will be limitless, but unfortunately, the film was not released in the mainland, so Wang Qun lost the opportunity to become famous.
Although he did not become famous, when he starred in "Treasure Hunting", Wang Qun realized his love for acting, so he signed up for an amateur training course held by Beiying in 1980.
Wang Qun may have missed the opportunity to star in "Shaolin Temple" due to a wrong decision, and thus never appeared again in the next few hit films.
Until the 1984 TV series "Shen Wrestling Zhen San", Wang Qun played Jin Er in his **.
With his delicate and superb acting skills, he won two Best Supporting Actor awards in one fell swoop.
Next, he successively participated in film and television dramas such as "The Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry", "Golden Dart Huang Tianba", "Beggar" and other film and television dramas, and his reputation is growing, and his acting skills are becoming more and more mature.
After starring in "Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs" and "A Generation of Gun King", Wang Qun's career reached its peak, and he became a high-profile martial arts star, on a par with Jet Li.
Although Wang Qun's acting career was not easy, especially after the decline of martial arts films in the late 80s, he felt that his future was gradually limited, so he decided to change direction.
Maybe it's because of the strength in his heart, Wang Qun has been working very the new road, without the slightest slack, and nothing can stop him. It was precisely because of overwork that led to Wang Qun's untimely death.
Wang Qun moved to Moscow in the 90s, and he shared the same philosophy as many retired athletes, which was to establish a martial arts school in Moscow to teach Chinese martial arts.
There he met a beautiful Russian woman, Wang Qun was not young at the time, but he never married, which made his parents very sad. Fortunately, he started a family in Russia and had a son of his own.
At that time, Wang Qun was still busy preparing for the martial arts school, and suddenly an investor took the initiative to find him and said that he wanted to invest in the script of "Smiling Proud Life".
However, after Wang Qun completed the script, the investor suddenly withdrew his investment.
Wang Qun didn't want all his efforts to be in vain, so he used the savings of the Jianwu School and borrowed money from friends, and finally successfully completed the shooting.
Wang Qun not only did not lose money, but made a little money. Since then, he has devoted himself to the cause of opening a martial arts school in Moscow, and his wife takes care of all the chores of the family.
He still seems dissatisfied with his acting career, and during his time in Russia, he was invited to participate in many film and television productions, such as playing Chen Zhengzhou in "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi".
After living overseas for many years, Wang Qun also began to think about the idea of returning to China for development, especially considering the vigorous development of the domestic film and television industry, this idea became stronger and stronger.
He consulted with his Russian wife, who did not understand why he wanted to return to China and did not want to return to China.
In desperation, the two had to choose to divorce, while the son lived with his mother.
After Wang Qun returned to China, he founded the Wushu Culture Development Center.
His career expanded steadily, and in just a few years, he established 43 film and television complexes in 10 provinces across the country.
Wang Qun listened to the persuasion of his parents, relatives and friends in 2000 and married again. Two years later, in 2002, Wang Qun ushered in the birth of his youngest son, Wang Xi.
After Wang Qun returned to China, he did not insist on continuing to be an actor, but chose to transform into a screenwriter and director, and "Life Has a Dream" is the work he directed.
Wang Qun also served as the screenwriter of "Male Talent and Female Appearance", "Forty Positive Fragrance of Women" and "Diary of a Girl".
Despite the success of his career, there are problems in his life. Being busy with her career for a long time made her wife take care of everything at home, and her wife gradually complained a lot about Wang Qun's "hands-off" way.
In 2007, the seven-year marriage finally ended in divorce, and his son Wang Xi chose to follow his mother.
After the divorce, Wang Qun devoted all his energy to work.
He had planned to prepare a feature-length TV series that would show the development of Chinese martial arts in its entirety, but unfortunately he was unable to achieve this wish on the stage of life.
Wang Qun died of a heart attack in Beijing on January 3, 2008, at the age of 48. Although he is still very young, he has better physical fitness than the average person due to his long-term martial arts practice.
Despite this, doctors asserted that Wang Qun died of overwork, and Wang Qun's untimely death was deeply regretted by many people.
Just a year later, in order to fight for the inheritance, Wang Qun's youngest son, Wang Xi, took Wang Qun's mother and his half-brother to court.
If Wang Qun saw this scene in the Heavenly Spirit, he would undoubtedly feel sad. Eventually, with the mediation of the judge, the three parties reached a settlement.
Today, Mr. Wang's youngest son is 22 years old, and people wonder if he will feel guilty and remorseful when he recalls the events of that year. After all, his father had only been dead for a year.
It is his regret that Wang Qun failed to achieve great success in the film industry, however, his untimely death made many viewers regret.
Although he did not frequently participate in film and television dramas later, he still left many classic roles for the audience to keep.
