The most prominent of which is actor An Chi Kiet.
An Chi Kiet was born in 1977, he was born and raised in the US, then returned to Hong Kong to develop his career. During his time at school, thanks to his tall and muscular body, he was always the star of the rugby club.
Chosen to replace Jet Li
In 2002, when he had just entered the profession, he was selected by director Tu Khac to collaborate. Originally, director Tu Khac wanted to invite Ly Lien Kiet to participate in the movie Black Knight 2, but the martial arts king was old and weak, so he could no longer afford to take on any heavy roles. An Chi Kiet is the most suitable choice at this time to replace Ly Lien Kiet.
In order to play the role well, the young actor personally went to Shaolin Temple to practice for a month. Around the time of dubbing for the film, An Chi Kiet also invited Luu Duc Hoa, Luu Thanh Van, Co Thien Lac, and Truong Bach Chi to voice over. Not only that, he also constantly propagates and advertises the movie he participates in. The director team also spent a lot of time investing in shaping the actor, of course, after the film closed, director Tu Khac was very satisfied with the role of An Chi Kiet.
In 2003, Donnie Yen connected to An Chi Kiet to collaborate on the film Special Identity. In this movie, there are more than 10 minutes of fighting between An Chi Kiet and Donnie Yen.
The two male actors attach great importance to authenticity, so when performing the fight scene, they use real weapons such as iron rods and steel pipes. By the time they dressed up after a break from practice, the makeup team could no longer distinguish between fake and real injuries. An Chi Kiet said he was also mentally prepared for injuries, because only then could he bring the most authentic feelings to the audience.
After the film closed, Donnie Yen gave many compliments and respect to An Chi Kiet. Actor surname Chan shared: "I don't even dare to fight An Chi Kiet outside the screen. His punches are too fast."
Not only fighting with Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, An Chi Kiet also "knocked" Ngo Kinh - the current "number 1 action king" of Chinese cinema. Specifically, when acting in the action scene in the movie "Black Fist" (Black Fist), An Chi Kiet knocked down Ngo Kinh within 2 seconds.
From 2010 onwards, the actor began to participate in many films published by Hong Kong. His acting in films such as Three Kingdoms Chi Chi Kien Long Armored, Quan Van Truong, Han Chien, Controversy... all made viewers feel satisfied.
In 2014, An Chi Kiet participated in the action film The Great War of Shanghai, directed by Hoang Tinh Pho, based on the script by Wang Suong. Vien Hoa Binh assumes the role of martial arts director. The film gathers famous action stars of Hong Kong cinema such as Hong Kim Bao, Ngu Doan Long...

But after all, Dinh Dinh followed in the footsteps of his father and brother when he joined the film Vuong Trieu by famous Hong Kong filmmaker - Vuong Tinh. Although there have been many roles, but it seems that the shadow of his father and brother is too big, so Dinh Dinh has not left much impression in the hearts of the audience.
A series of famous names in the Chinese entertainment industry such as Phung To Danh, Bach An Vinh or Tran Hong Nghiep also cannot escape their love for the daughter of the Ta family. However, being an amateur daughter, her artistry is still very much, and at the same time, she mainly lives and grows up in the US, so she is influenced a lot by the somewhat open modern lifestyle of this place.
Tse once again set a record for changing lovers faster than changing clothes when in just 1 year there were 7 handsome guys through her arms. The longest recorded love relationship of Tse was with An Chi Kiet, but after four years, the two broke up because Nicholas Tse blamed An Chi Kiet for "not knowing the difference between true and false".
Obviously, An Chi Kiet's reputation and achievements are still not comparable to previous stars. But his career is said to be growing, the cinematic path is extremely open.
He is very charming with villain roles and has been pitted against many famous martial arts stars such as Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Ngo Kinh, Trieu Van Trac... An Chi Kiet is also a rare actor. Hoi was praised by difficult director Vien Hoa Binh not only for his excellence in martial arts but also for his bright appearance, which can become a big action star in the future.
The next generation inherits and continues the previous generation, that is the rule of non-stop development. Although highly appreciated by many directors and expected by the audience to be the successor of Ly Lien Kiet, in recent years, An Chi Kiet has temporarily stopped acting and no longer participates in artistic activities. Instead, he focuses on growing his business and spending time with his family.
