Chapter 5 ban

When I was a child in drama school, all the boys had to shave their hair, and we lived bald for many years.I finally left school and grew my hair long whenever I had the chance, as if I was deliberately fighting against the past or making up for past regrets.At that time, he was called "Fei Zi" because his hair was too long.When I went to Taiwan and South Korea, I was questioned by the police because of this, because young people there have to serve in the military and cannot grow long hair. They didn’t know that I was from Hong Kong at first, so they came to question me. I like blow-drying my hair very much, and I went to learn how to do it from others.Back then, I had long hair, so I carried a hair dryer with me every time, blowing it very carefully, and felt very comfortable.Later, as long as I went to other places to film, the partners in the film would not bring a hair dryer. Every time they came to my room after washing their hair, I would help everyone dry their hair.Wang Mingquan, Brigitte Lin, Xu Feng, Qin Xianglin, Hong Jinbao... I all blow-dried their hair.I usually blow the hair of Sister Jiao and Zu Ming.

When I first came to Hollywood, I imitated the hairstyles of movie stars in the 1930s and cut my long hair short. Although I felt very proud of it, my friends said it was ugly and disgusting.When I decided to go back to Hong Kong, I went back to my long hair style. I said it was "style", but it was actually slovenly. Until a serious accident happened in 1986, my godfather He Guanchang ordered me to never cut my hair short again.That was the most serious injury I had done in so many years of filming.The title of the movie is "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother".At that time, Guan Jinpeng was the assistant director, Liu Weiqiang was the photographer, and Chen Kexin was the assistant producer.

The movie is about a certain earl who hopes to find the "Armed Arms of God" that has been lost for 800 years. These five treasures are recorded in the "Bible" and said that they can be used to fight against the devil.He found Jackie, the Asian eagle, and took three pieces from the African natives, while the other two pieces were in the hands of a group of terrorists, so a series of stories of saving lives and treasures started.I was 33 years old when I directed and starred in this film, and I had already created a relatively successful film mode: global shooting, exciting action, and commercial comedy.

We shot in Yugoslavia, a country that no longer exists.The art director of this drama is Xi Zhongwen. He wants me to try a new look and cut my hair short, which I think is fine.To me, hair length doesn't matter.At that time, the conditions of the filming location were very difficult, and there were no professional barbers, so Xi Zhongwen directly helped me cut it.After cutting it and facing the mirror, I said silently, it's really ugly, like a dog gnawing on it.Just a few days after I turned it on, I had to go to Japan for a business trip because of work, so I asked a local stylist in Japan to help me re-do it.Back on the set, Xi Zhongwen felt that something was wrong, so he picked up the scissors and repaired it for me. Anyway, I spent a long time on my hair this time, which I have never done before.

On the day of the accident, the shot I took was actually not complicated, at least not to me.Probably there are two people chasing me from behind, and I need to jump to a tree, which is just a cutscene in so many action scenes I have acted in.After filming twice, the early director Zeng Zhiwei said that it was good, it was ok, it was over.But I thought about it, no, I was not flexible enough when I landed after jumping, I hope to shoot it again.Usually when I say do it again, no one can stop me, but this time something went wrong. In fact, the tree is not very high, it is really not high for me.As a result, as soon as he jumped over, the branch broke.I fell in an instant. During the fall, I kept grasping the trunk and branches intuitively, and those branches broke along the way. I kept grasping them and breaking them. When I was about to fall to the ground, I got used to He frantically blocked it with his hand, but his head still hit a stone.Thinking about it later, it can be seen that everyone ignored these action scenes at that time, including myself.I just jumped when I said jumping, and I didn't study what kind of tree I should find to support my weight.

The first reaction when I fell on the ground was that my waist hurt.My dad was on the set at the time, he used to hardly come to my work site, and somehow he saw me on the spot when I had an accident.At that time, the colleagues in the film crew rushed to push my father away first, lest he be too irritated.I felt surrounded by a lot of people, and I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a short while, maybe it was a long time, and I suddenly felt that I was fine, and I wanted to sit up, everyone quickly held me down and told me not to move!I had no choice but to obey obediently, but I felt that my whole body was very hot, and my head swelled after I fell.Later, everyone found that there was a lot of blood spurting from my ears. It was really blood spurting, but I couldn't see the injury on the outside. Everyone was frightened, fearing that I would die.

At that time, it was after 9:00 in the morning, and the crew wanted to move me down the mountain from the mountain, and then take me to the hospital in a jeep.I remember that I was lying in the car, and someone next to me kept patting me hard, saying don't sleep, don't sleep, Jackie.I said you don't want to hit me anymore, my whole body is already in pain.When I arrived at a small hospital, I immediately got an injection. Everyone knew that I was very afraid of injections, and I didn't have the strength to resist at that time.After a lot of injections, I was sent to a larger hospital. After seeing my condition, the doctor said that I must have a brain operation immediately, otherwise it would be very dangerous.We don’t have such a high level of medical care here, so it’s best to find the best brain doctor in the world, who is Swiss.

During this process, my ears were still bleeding.Then I felt that my nose was itchy again. It turned out that blood was pouring down from my nose, and my throat was also gurgling.It wasn't until this time that I started to get scared. I remembered that there is a word to describe people who are about to die, bleeding from the seven orifices. Now that my ears and nose are bleeding, I can't be bleeding from the seven orifices, right?Thinking of this, he quickly touched his eyes with his hand, and deliberately found a piece of white flesh on his hand to touch. Fortunately, his eyes did not bleed...

Zeng Zhiwei was at the scene at the time. Seeing the situation, he felt that I might be dying, so he hurriedly called back to Hong Kong to Golden Harvest's big boss, Zou Wenhuai.At that time it was not as convenient to make a phone call as it is now. There was no way to get through an international call right away. Zeng Zhiwei called for the first time, explained the situation, and waited for a call back from Hong Kong.Boss Zou Wenhuai called back for the first time, saying that he was contacting the Swiss brain doctor, and then hung up.When the phone call came back for the second time, it was said that the doctor was traveling around the world to give lectures, but he couldn't find where he was, and the phone was cut off again.

At this time, the doctor at the hospital became a little anxious and asked, what are you waiting for?It was delivered at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was already night, so a decision had to be made, otherwise the injured would be in danger.Someone suggested chartering a flight to France for surgery. The doctor said that the injured person could not bear the pressure inside the plane and would bleed faster.Everyone froze there, no one could take this idea, fearing that once I was on the operating table, I would not be able to come out alive.The martial arts director of that play was Feng Ke’an. He opened the door and came in and told me, brother, you hit a bone in your head and you need to have a knife. Take out the bone first, then put something in it, and then take that thing out after a few years ... If these words were spoken in a plain tone, it would be fine, but Feng Kean was crying all the way at the time, woo woo wa wa wah, he was the main force of the family-making class at that time, a resounding and tough guy, seeing him cry so pitifully, I knew it was serious.

Finally, the doctor came in for my own opinion.I remember that he said a lot of words at that time, and I couldn’t understand most of them. I could only understand Operation. After he finished speaking, I only said two sentences. Who can I trust now?I can only trust you.OK, I have surgery. The next step is to cut the clothes and advance to the operating room. The time should be around 8 o'clock in the evening.At that time, I looked at the lights on the roof in a daze, and only then did I realize that there were nine light bulbs in the operating room.Then I felt like an old man was asking me, what do you think?I felt the voice floated farther and farther away, and he said to me, get a good night's sleep.I lost consciousness.I don't know how long the surgery took. After waking up for the first time, I heard a bell ringing at the head of the bed, and I opened my eyes, as if there were 4 nurses' heads looking at me. When I wanted to get up, they pushed my head down, and I fell asleep again.When he woke up again, there were whistles ringing in his ears.That was Alan Tam whistling next to him, and it was his song. I opened my eyes and saw everyone waving to me through two layers of glass.I knew I wasn't dead, so I fell asleep again.When I woke up for the third time, I had already changed the ward.Alan Tam and Zeng Zhiwei were beside me, seeing that I was awake, they said to me: Bastard, do you know how lucky you are?The one who operated on you was the Swiss doctor!He happened to be lecturing in Yugoslavia, and he performed the surgery for you! Not knowing what happened during the time I decided to go into the operating room, and how the doctor magically appeared in my operating room, it all seemed like a miracle. Not long after I fully woke up, I told the nurse that I was hungry and wanted to eat.They were shocked and said we've never seen anyone like you.You have a depression in the skull near the left ear, and the bone fragments have moved inward. After undergoing such a major operation, most people will have a very serious rejection reaction, either vomiting or loss of appetite. food?But my appetite was really good.I ate the food they brought me quickly and didn't feel like throwing up. Seven days after the surgery, I returned to the set.At that time, everyone thought of a way to shoot only half of my face, because if I want to wait for my hair to grow out, it will take 4 months to half a year. There are more than 100 people in the crew, there is no way to wait.After several days of filming, it was found that the effect was not good, so all the troops retreated back to Hong Kong together.The show stopped for a year. I still have a socket in my head, which is soft and has no bones.The ear still has sequelae to this day. It hurts to hear high-pitched sounds, and it is difficult to hear low-pitched sounds.This is the memory left to me by that operation at that time. After this time, my godfather He Guanchang, who is also the boss of Golden Harvest Company, did not allow me to cut my hair.Not only that, but he also made a rule at that time, saying that Jackie Chan can't play people who are mortal. If my character is mortal in the script, then he can't take it.In fact, I have always wanted to play Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, and many people will think of me when they shoot this subject, but because the Overlord of Chu will die, my godfather will not allow me to take it.Although I am not superstitious about the two prohibitions of godfather, I think it is better to listen to him. In 1997, the godfather passed away.After that, these two prohibitions were gradually broken by me, so it's time to change. My characters in "Shinjuku Incident" and "Little Soldier" all died. In 2012, filming "Police Story 2013" directed by Ding Sheng, playing a public security special policeman, the hair needs to be cut short to fit the character image, otherwise everyone has short hair and I have long hair, which is also very strange, so I cut it to the size of the board This is the first time since the operation in Yugoslavia.
