I didn't want to be an actor
Chapter 816: Chatting
Chapter 816: Chatting
I've heard that Jackie Chan is very generous...
Reading his autobiography, you can get the following information:
You don’t have to pay when you go out to eat with him, he pays for everything; he will help you pay the down payment for a car, and if you have a very close relationship, he will also pay for your down payment for a house.
When you go shopping with him, he can book all the luxury stores and you can pick anything you want as long as it is not too expensive; when he goes buying watches, he will buy one for you.
Jackie Chan has a sense of mission that I am the eldest brother and I have to take good care of my brothers, and he also has a competitive mentality that if his brothers don’t have face, I also don’t have face!
To be honest, there is really no man in the circle who is more open-minded than Jackie Chan!
Sammo Hung’s plagiarism is enough to make people break off friendship with him.
It is said that at a dinner party, Jackie Chan mentioned the plot outline of "The Lion of Western Regions" to his senior brother Sammo Hung: During the Qing Dynasty, an imperial guard lost his memory on his way to the American West by boat to rescue a princess. He was rescued by Indians and then had a big battle with western cowboys.
Sammo Hung made “Once Upon a Time in China II: The Lion of the Western Regions”…
Jackie Chan was very angry when he found out!
But he was just angry, and turned around and laughed as if it was a passing cloud. He also split the idea into two parts, shooting "Who Am I" and "Shanghai Noon" respectively...
Can you imagine if the same thing happened to Stephen Chow?
In a Kung Fu Soccer movie, Stephen Chow scolded Zhang Weijian to the point of being scathing, and no matter how the latter begged for mercy, Stephen Chow would never forgive him.
In addition, Shen Liang heard Xu Zheng say that when he was not very famous, he went to Hong Kong to work. Jackie Chan called him and invited a group of people to dinner. Jackie Chan had an ice cream truck with all kinds of ice cream and drinks. As long as it was his movie, the truck would be there, and all the actors, including the extras, could eat as much as they wanted!
Shen Liang also followed suit and set up a coffee cart and a hamburger cart on the crew. Anyone who wanted to drink coffee or eat a hamburger could get one for free!
Come to think of it, there is no end to making money, and the money spent on the crew is not that much, probably only seven figures at most.
Compared to his pay for the movie, this amount of money is nothing!
In addition, he also followed suit and got along well with his martial arts brothers...
We often eat and drink together...
Oh, and I bought a box of cigarettes for them to smoke...
Martial arts are stunts, and stunts are deadly...
During the Olympic Games rehearsal, the top dancer in China who was the main dancer, fell and became paralyzed from the waist down when the steel cable broke during the rehearsal... As a stuntman, if you are not popular or offend people or are envied, your life may be in danger at any moment.
Liu Yan almost became Lang Kun’s fifth wife...the mistress’s attempt to take over failed!
By the way, rumors have it that Liu Haochun’s aunt…
I don’t know if it’s true or not, I’m just writing it irresponsibly!
……
“Do you live stream every day?”
“…I live stream once or twice a week. Sometimes I need to promote products, so I’ll add another one!”
Shen Liang specially brought Sammo Hung along for the live broadcast today...
Mainly, he wanted to talk about how awesome Sammo Hung was back then!
The parties involved can ask questions at any time...
"Today we are going to talk about Hong Kong movies... First of all, please welcome Mr. Sammo Hung who is with me today!"
Sammo Hung waved at the camera and asked, "What does this 2000 million people online mean?"
"That's 3000 million people online... Don't worry, my live broadcasts usually attract million people... It's still early now."
"30 million for each game?"
"Almost... I'm the best in the live streaming industry!"
"Then how many gifts do you receive in a live broadcast?"
"I don't accept gifts... not really. Basically, I only accept gifts during one live broadcast every three months. I can receive 6-7 million each time. I add a little bit myself, make up 10 million, and then donate it..."
Sammo Hung gave a thumbs up: "You are this!"
"No, I'm not short of money, and I don't have a hobby of spending money...Okay," Shen Liang changed the subject: "I heard that Master Yu Zhanyuan's Hong Kong Chinese Drama Academy was sponsored by Ms. Qian Siying. In addition, she also sent her twins (Jinlong and Yinlong) to study in his drama school...
Since the grandson liked martial arts since he was young, he was allowed to learn with his two uncles... Who is this grandson?"
Sammo Hung laughed out loud: "This grandson is me! I was about the same age as my two uncles back then, and they all called us the 'triplets'."
"Ms. Qian Siying is the first generation of Chinese female martial arts star. In "God of Gamblers", she was the one who beat up the old lady in Stephen Chow!" After a pause, Shen Liang continued, "In addition to the triplets, Mr. Yuan Xiaotian also sent his two sons to the drama academy, namely Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Heping!"
"Yes, the four of them are just going through the motions, but I'm different. I have to join..."
Sammo Hung said, "When I was little, I didn't like going to school. I often fought on the street and made trouble. My grandparents took me to see the master (Yu Zhanyuan). I was only nine years old at that time and didn't know what Peking Opera was. I just saw the children doing somersaults and thought it was very interesting. After a week, I kept begging my grandparents every day and they sent me to learn. Finally, I signed a seven-year contract."
"Do you regret it?" "I do regret it a lot... You know, I wasn't the first one to enter the school. I was the fourth oldest. There were three kids who weren't as tough as me, and their butts weren't as thick as mine. The other three were beaten away... So I became the boss!"
"Is it a real fight?"
"Of course I really beat him!" Sammo Hung laughed, "Once I said something wrong and got slapped... I was so angry that I took a stick. At that time I swore that I would come back and beat him up after I finished my apprenticeship!"
"Did you beat him?"
"No... My master is really great. He alone supports more than 80 children in our school... You have to know that children, especially boys, are very naughty, but he is willing to spend time on us. Although he is a bit strict, the disciples have gained a lot. From him, the disciples have learned the spirit of hard work and struggle... And we all speak Mandarin..."
"Your second mentor should be Mr. Han Yingjie, right?"
"Correct!"
"Let me introduce you to everyone. Mr. Han Yingjie is the most popular action director in the Hong Kong film industry after Yuan Xiaotian and before Tang Jia and Liu Jialiang... By the way, he is also the son-in-law of Mr. Yu Zhanyuan. Using his position, he has sent a lot of talents to the film industry!"
Sammo Hung nodded, "Yes, Han Yingjie and King Hu have a very good relationship. The two worked together on "Drunken Master", but Run Run Shaw thought King Hu was too slow in filming and scolded him. King Hu was so angry that he went to Taiwan and Han Yingjie followed him. The two worked together on "Dragon Inn", which swept the film industry at the time... Then Director Lo Wei copied it and filmed "Dragon Gate Golden Sword", and also asked Han Yingjie to be the martial arts instructor, but halfway through the filming, Han Yingjie couldn't hold on anymore and felt it was too bad, so he asked me... to take over!"
"Then, you became the youngest action director in the Hong Kong film industry?"
"Correct!"
"Later, you followed King Hu... and joined Golden Harvest with King Hu?"
"almost…"
Shen Liang interrupted: "Let me explain, King Hu has a very good relationship with the boss of Golden Harvest, Zhou Wenhuai, and the name Golden Harvest was given by King Hu!"
"Later, you also worked with Bruce Lee?"
"Yes... but we don't have a deep connection..."
"Is it also because of Teacher Han Yingjie?"
Sammo Hung nodded awkwardly...
Shen Liang explained: "Teacher Han Yingjie was the martial arts instructor for "Fist of Fury" and "Fist of Fury", but Bruce Lee had his own understanding of action. Although the two of them were not in conflict, they were definitely not compatible..."
"Later, I started acting, and the lead actor filmed with director Zheng Changhe!" Sammo Hung raised his eyebrows: "Do you know director Zheng Changhe?"
"Of course I know. I did some research!" Shen Liang then went on to explain: "Director Zheng Changhe is Korean and films in Hong Kong. He likes to translate Japanese movies the most. "Breaking the Vow" is the Chinese version of "Snow White", and "The Detective" is "Mian Kuang Shi Lang"... "
……
Since it is about Sammo Hung, Shen Liang must have done his homework!
The two talked about a lot of things, including "One Cut of the City"...
In fact, this movie is also a work that Lo Wei took advantage of - the action trend in the late Qing Dynasty brought about by "Once Upon a Time in China" was booming and lasted for a long time. The stories of "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" such as Hung Hei-gun, Fong Sai-yuk, Luk A-choi, Wong Kei-ying, Su Can (Su Qier) and others have all been made popular.
Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, Ma Rongzhen and Shanghai Bund Story in "The Shanghai School" were also very popular.
The Northern School's "Top Ten Masters of the Late Qing Dynasty", such as Wang Wu the Big Knife, Li San the Swallow, and Sun Lutang, were also made into movies and became very popular for a time.
Luo Wei felt that this was an opportunity, so he invested a huge sum of money, spending 1800 million yuan, to go to the mainland to shoot the film, based on the story of Wang Wu and Tan Sitong, to create the big production "A Cutting Sword".
"A Cutting Sword" is very formulaic. It was not originally a purely original work, but a follow-up work by Lo Wei, adapted from "The Big Knife" directed by Chang Cheh and starring Chen Kuan-tai in 1973. Even the ending is completely based on the original.
The adapted version simply added Yuan Shikai to make the conflict more complicated.
Sammo Hung sighed: "This movie lost a lot of money... but I think it's still pretty good!"
"… Mainly because there were too many similar movies released that year, late Qing Dynasty action martial arts movies, eight of which were about Wong Fei-hung, including the orthodox "Once Upon a Time in China 4: The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Once Upon a Time in China: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" starring Jet Li who was abducted by Wong Jing, "Once Upon a Time in China: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" starring Alan Tam, the sequel to the spoof comedy "Once Upon a Time in China: The Legend of Wong Fei-hung", "Once Upon a Time in China: The Ghost Leg Seven", a spin-off work that didn't have Wong Fei-hung at all but only Ghost Leg Seven, "Once Upon a Time in China: The Ghost Leg Seven" directed by Zhang Xinyan, another version of Wong Fei-hung "Shaolin Heroes" also called "Once Upon a Time in China: A Man Should Serve His Country", and Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen collaborated on two films, "Heroes of the Legend of Su Qi'er" and "Young Wong Fei-hung: Iron Monkey", which directly ruined the genre!"
Sammo Hung sighed, "Actually, before I shot this movie, I was planning to quit the entertainment industry and go to the United States to become a horse trainer.
Luo Wei sent me the script "A Cutting Sword", which I liked very much. I agreed immediately and returned to the mainland to shoot the film... I personally feel that the reason why the box office failed was because I liked the script too much and did not consider the market issues. "
"I feel this movie is very left-wing, and it is a very typical traditional left-wing movie. It is full of desire for revolution, identifies with revolution, yearns for revolution, identifies with the republic, opposes speculation, opposes being forced, and opposes counter-revolution... The lines in it are "Ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day.", "A single spark can start a prairie fire.", "The country is so beautiful that countless heroes compete to bow down."... I think if you are willing, we can reorganize the plot and then release it!"
"You are interested in?"
"…Of course I am interested. I am interested in many movies, such as "The Falling Sword", "Eight Taels of Gold" and "The Loyal Heroes"…"
Well, the last two are bullshit. "The Loyal Brothers" is the Hong Kong version of "Seven Samurai". How is "Eight Taels of Gold" filmed?
The story of Chinese people in New York returning to the countryside in mainland China to visit their relatives...
Who would watch this if we filmed it now?
