What is the hottest kung fu on the short video platform recently? That must be the "Goro Bagua Stick".
Recently, Shandong guys Wang Qun, Sun Xingang and Zhang Jikun, who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, made their own martial arts films and uploaded them to the online platform through video recording. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly became popular. The hottest video work "Five Lang Bagua Stick" has won more than 2.6 million praises from the public.
When recording a video, devote yourself to it. When broadcasting live, you are naughty and humorous.
"The Kung Fu Dream of the two uncles (Wu Kong)" is the Tik Tok uploaded by Wang Qun, Sun Xingang and Zhang Jikun, and their names are "Kung Fu" and "Humor".
What really made the three people popular was the 45 real kung fu videos uploaded by them, among which the most popular work was the "Goro Bagua Stick" with over 2.6 million praises. Judging from the video, their every move and every style is devoted. After the live broadcast, the three were naughty and humorous, and the interaction with fans was very casual.
Wang Qun told reporters that all three of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, from Yantai, Weihai and Liaocheng, Shandong Province, and met in the Wushu Department of Chengdu Institute of Physical Education. At school, they were attracted by each other’s martial arts. After leaving the campus, Wang Qun runs a biotechnology company, Sun Xingang runs a teahouse, and Zhang Jikun has experience in martial arts instruction, and is knowledgeable in choreography and post-editing. Although they are engaged in different industries, they still come together with the same martial arts dream.
"You may not believe it when you say it. The idea of starting to shoot videos was talked about when we were sitting together for tea." Wang Qun said that when they talked about practicing martial arts that day, they didn’t have such advanced mobile phones and shooting equipment, and their previous training was not recorded. The three men proposed to realize their dream of a martial arts film by video recording, and at the same time, they could make a record of their martial arts, and the three men hit it off.
A month ago, they shot the first video and uploaded it to the short video platform, which gained more than 4,000 likes, which brought them confidence. "I didn’t expect so many people to like it. We three big boys got together to discuss whether to continue filming, and finally decided to continue filming." Wang Qun said.

Every scene shooting is improvisation and plot.
Talking about the "Five Lang Eight Diagrams Stick" with more than 2.6 million praises, Wang Qun introduced that this video belongs to a relatively long shooting and production cycle. "It takes three or four days to shoot the video, plus two days of post-production, and it takes almost five or six days to do it well." Wang Qun said that the shooting cycle of some small clips is relatively short. For more than a month, they have basically maintained the frequency of updating every two days, and it takes about three or four days to shoot and post-produce.
In the uploaded videos, the real kung fu of the three people won everyone’s praise and recognition. In fact, these videos were not produced by a professional team. "Only the three of us, plus a photographer." Wang Qun said that since the explosion of fire on the Internet, many people have also asked them if there is a professional team operating.
In fact, every time the video is filmed, the three of them are improvising actions and paragraphs on the spot, and then adding the plot. Because many times three people need to appear in a martial arts film at the same time, they hired a professional photographer. If it is a relatively simple plot, Zhang Jikun, who has worked as a martial arts instructor, will shoot it himself and do the post-production.
