Character evaluation

Yuan Kui is a banner of action film industry. His action design is elegant, free and easy, and fast, which can reflect the essence of Chinese martial arts. Michelle Yeoh's Kung Fu in "the Royal elder martial sister" is convincing. Most of the credit lies in Yuan Kui's guidance and skillful use of lens angle. (comments on beiqing.com and Huang Zhan, a songwriter)

As a representative figure of Hong Kong martial arts guidance, Yuan Kui's style is more realistic than Cheng Xiaodong's, but more "floating" than yuan Heping's. He is good at designing vigorous, powerful and beautiful martial arts movements. In his independent action film Ma Yongzhen, Jin Chengwu's fierce and swift body gives the audience a big impression
