I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 722: Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West to Anxi (33)

Shen Liang has always admired Jackie Chan...

When it comes to Chinese-language films, there is no need to say much about Jackie Chan’s influence and status. He is definitely the number one Chinese-language star, whether you admit it or not!
There may not be a universal standard for status and influence.

But as a movie star, cumulative box office, awards won, worldwide recognition, and the scope of cultural dissemination can be used as criteria for judging, and Jackie Chan is undoubtedly top-notch in these areas.

Jackie Chan is a ruthless guy!

In my autobiography "Who Am I", I wrote, "When I was in Golden Harvest, I competed with Sammo Hung's Hung Family Team: At that time, neither Sammo Hung nor I were human. Really, looking back, I was lucky that no one died... One person from the Hung Family Team died, but I was fine."

"Police Story", jumping into the swimming pool from the top of the building, everyone at the scene was scared to death, ready to die!

The first one came down, his hand was broken, and he was carried away;

The second one, with a broken head, was carried away...

No one dares to go up, so I'll do it after changing clothes.

Then I vomited blood in the hospital at 6 o'clock.

When you are young, you have to fight for this kind of aura. You are ruthless, but I am more ruthless than you. I don't care about myself, so why should I care about you? We all came out to fight, we want to conquer the world, and we will die.'

However, Shen Liang did not like his attitude towards women. He believed that men would help you, and his success along the way was all due to men. Women would only ask for things, and would not provide help.

In "Who Am I", it is written that 'I come from a martial arts background, and my friends are all martial artists. We all have had painful experiences in our relationships, and when we get together and chat, we hear all kinds of stories.

For example, when he came back from filming a movie, everything was gone from home, including money, passbooks, and furniture, all of which were "looted" by his girlfriend, who also disappeared.

The famous director Lo Wei was deceived by a woman. One day after filming a movie, he returned to Hong Kong and found that his house and money were gone. His girlfriend at the time secretly transferred all the money away. Before leaving, she wrote him a check for 50 yuan. What an insult to him! He cursed at the woman, tore the 50 yuan into pieces and threw it in her face, "I don't want a dime!" As a result, the woman smiled and turned away...'

Alas, times have changed. If you take good care of your sisters, they won’t be stingy with their resources…

If a big sister in the circle can give you some resources, you may become famous!
Even without resources, the older sisters are more sensible than the younger sisters, and they never think about an empty future...

The same goes for Shen Liang. What can the women around him, such as Idol, Da Tiantian and Rouba, want?
On the contrary, they all helped Shen Liang a lot...

It solves the problem of too much energy which is the most common mistake for male artists!
Ahem...

After filming, Shen Liang had a meal with Jackie Chan and the Jackie Chan Stunt Team...

When Jackie Chan eats...he hardly ever sits down and keeps serving food to other people.

This is his habit!

In the past, when he was eating, if you politely said "I'll eat later", he would think that you didn't want to eat this dish, so you passed it to the next person, and finally to him. If there was not much left, he would pour it all on his own plate and eat it.

Then move on to the second course.

In more than forty minutes, the dinner party for more than a dozen people was over, and those who were polite might go hungry.

Jackie Chan would pick out the remaining two or three vegetables or two or three pieces of meat to eat, and if there were more left, he would pack it up.

This was what he had experienced at the Chinese Academy of Drama in Hong Kong - a table with dozens of people eating, master Yu Zhanyuan sitting at the top and passing the dishes down, seating order determined by seniority, the youngest child sitting at the farthest end of the long table, and after being passed around by more than twenty pairs of eager little hands, the last child could almost only get leftovers or soy sauce.

Now it has changed a lot, I won’t change the dishes anymore…

But I still pick up food.

Shen Liang was not polite and ate a lot. Then Tang Jili talked about a project called "Legend".

“The sequel to The Myth…”

Tang Jili talked about his plan...

It’s nothing more than continuing to create a movie based on the recording of “The Myth”!
Shen Liang knew this play, it was a bad movie.

The scenery of XJ is indeed worthy of being described as magnificent, as beautiful as Naza, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping is also spectacular, but what else?
Tang Jili still let down XJ and Jackie Chan.

I feel like "Legend" has no script, it's just "Myth" + "Kung Fu Yoga"...

It's so bad. The shot of the war horse kicking backwards is not exactly the same as "The Myth", but it is exactly the same. If you say it is a homage, have you ever seen a whole movie that is a homage?

I really have no ambition to make progress. I just copy and paste without any intention to do anything.

This movie is a blood loss!
"The Vanguard" and "Dragon Horse Spirit" did not do well at the mainland box office, but the overseas copyrights sold well, with copyrights in 145 countries and regions... Overall, it is still profitable!
To Legend...

I heard that the overseas copyright was only sold for 500 million US dollars.

Moreover, there is no possibility of changing this movie!
Tang Jili has already formed path dependence.

It is highly unlikely that Jackie Chan would reject Stanley Tong - for a nostalgic person, it is very rare to have an old friend who he has been with for more than 30 years.

So Shen Liang interrupted him directly and asked in confusion: "Brother Long is 70 years old this year, is this relationship necessary?"

"... "

Before he could say anything, Shen Liang said to Jackie Chan, "Brother, I have a script with two male protagonists, a bit like Little Big Soldier!"

"…Big Soldier Little General?"

"Brother, do you know about the An-Shi Rebellion?"

"Of course I know! An Lushan and Shi Siming betrayed the Tang Dynasty and started a war..."

Shen Liang nodded. "After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the troops stationed in Anxi were called back, leaving only a few thousand men to hold out under the siege of hundreds of thousands of enemies. They lost contact with Chang'an... Under the leadership of General Guo Xin, they guarded the last inch of land for the Tang Dynasty and defended the Western Regions for fifty years! The whole city was filled with white hair until the last man."

"Outside Kaiyuan Gate in the northwest of Chang'an City, there is a stone tablet with the words '9,900 miles west to Anxi' written on it, implying that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles!"

"The story I'm telling you is 'Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West to Anxi'!"

At Jackie Chan's urging, Shen Liang told the story of "The Last Transfer of Tang Dynasty in Mobei", but added two wars...

"This story is an advertisement... After watching the advertisement, I looked up information and read a passage: The last Grand Protector General Guo Xin led a group of white-haired soldiers to fight to the last soldier, and the entire army died heroically. The Anxi soldiers held on to the Western Regions for 42 years, just to see Chang'an again one day.

"Boss, which is farther, Chang'an or the sun?" "Of course the sun is farther. I've only heard of people coming from Chang'an, but never from the sun!"

'Why then, when I look up, I see the sun, but not Chang'an? '...

I was deeply moved, so I wrote an outline and asked someone to edit this story! It was called "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West to Anxi"!

Before Jackie Chan could say anything, Stanley Tong said with emotion: "This story is really good... I can direct it!"

Shen Liang refused without mercy: "Director Tang is a little lacking in the arrangement of large scenes..."
