Chapter 18 Take care of "nosy"

When we were seventeen or eighteen years old, a group of us martial arts had no money, and a group of people went out for a ride in other people's cars. At that time in Hong Kong, it was popular for girls to wear miniskirts.We often see a lot of female students on the street, wearing a miniskirt, smoking a cigarette, and walking around, I don't like it very much, and I don't like it.Students shouldn't be like this, why are they so eager to learn these bad habits? We deliberately parked the car next to them while waiting for the red light, took out the feather duster in the car, and slapped their buttocks hard. When the light was green, we drove away immediately, looking in the rear mirror while driving to see what they were doing I was so happy there screaming and cursing neuropathy.

I have been running all over the world for so many years, and I really rarely see any country where pedestrians on the zebra crossing give way to cars.In the United States and many other countries, as long as there are pedestrians on the zebra crossing, your car must stop.In Australia, if you hit someone on the zebra crossing, it is called murder. If you hit someone dead, you will be sentenced to life imprisonment, but in our country, if you look at the zebra crossing, as long as a pedestrian sees a car coming, he will not dare to leave. At this time, I will be very anxious.Sometimes some of my foreign friends come to Beijing and we go out together. When they see this situation when crossing the road, they can’t help but say "Oh, my god", "Shit", "Oh, fuck", I am very upset Comfortable and feel ashamed.

I really hate cars on Beijing roads not giving way to people on the sidewalk.Once on the overpass on Xidawang Road, I saw the red light below again, but there were still cars crowding those pedestrians. I was suddenly very angry, so I quickly walked down the overpass, deliberately walked to the sidewalk, and waited for the signal light It had already turned yellow, but when some cars were still impatient to drive, I jumped over to one of the most anxious cars and slapped his chassis cover vigorously with my hand.The driver was frightened and looked at me from the driver's seat, and I stared at him from outside. I pointed at him and showed him, this is the sidewalk!Then turned around and left.

When I was young in Hong Kong, I was also the kind who would cross the road casually, regardless of the traffic lights.Because the roads in Hong Kong are generally very narrow, I crossed to the opposite side of the road in two or three steps. I didn’t even care about the traffic lights. I just had to see that there were no cars on both sides and I passed. I moved very quickly. Later, when I went to the United States, I learned a lesson.The roads in the United States are like many streets in mainland China. They are very wide, and it takes a lot of time to cross the street. Sometimes when I look at the red light, I feel that I have to wait so long. Now that there is no car, I might as well rush over. high speed.In fact, even if there is a car coming, I can run there.

As a result, one time, I was still crossing the road at a red light. Halfway through, the policeman on the side of the road raised his hand and pointed at me to let me pass. At this time, there was another car passing by. I couldn't walk, I just wanted to turn around when there was no car, and the light turned green again. People were rushing to cross the road, and some people looked at me and laughed. It was so embarrassing at that time, I wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in. I was called to the policeman, and he asked me: "Where are you from?" "Then why do you behave like this in the United States?" My English was poor at the time, and I didn't know how to explain it. In fact, he told me a lot of things, and I only understood "Never do it again" afterwards. , had to keep saying "Sorry".

I still remember this scene very clearly.It's embarrassing. I went to Taiwan many years ago. When I was in my 20s, I was filming "Master Dragon".At that time, I stayed at Huaguo Hotel in Taipei every day, and there was a bend in the road nearby. Every time we drove back after work, there was always a car parked there, blocking the intersection, and the car could not turn.He blocked the whole alley with one car, and we could only retreat slowly. At the beginning, I found a piece of paper, stuck it with paste, and wrote "Please respect everyone, don't park your car here", and stuck it on that person's car, and we got out of the car and walked back to the hotel. The driver went to reverse slowly.

Posted it and found it didn't work.I still saw this car for several days, and one day there was a long line of people retreating in the alley, I was very angry and wanted to show him some color. I went upstairs, took a table knife, and came down, and asked the family class to let the wind around, and punctured his four tires while no one was around.After that the car was gone, never dared to stop here, our road became unimpeded.It's not right for me to do this, but sometimes it's the way to deal with people who don't follow the rules. Regarding the phenomenon of disorderly parking in Taiwan, I gave them an idea in an interview on a TV station, saying that those who park indiscriminately should be hoisted away and transported to a nearby city.They actually adopted it, and the phenomenon of chaotic parking was really much less.You see, sometimes it is necessary to use some more ruthless methods.

Take Beijing as an example, if there is someone who parks excessively indiscriminately, his car will be hoisted up and transported to Tianjin. At the beginning, the government department should not be too troublesome. The owner of the car will take the car back. Freight, but also go there to pick up the car, and pay another fine on the spot.Why does this work?Because everyone is afraid of trouble, sometimes fines are useless, especially those rich people who are not afraid of fines at all, but if you ask him to go to another city to get the car back, it will be a lot of trouble, and everyone will be in chaos in the future Think carefully before parking.

In a certain country in Europe, the third time you park indiscriminately, the government will take your car and crush it with a tank.You see how amazing! Sometimes when I see the traffic in Beijing is so chaotic, I really want to be the Minister of Transportation to take care of these problems. Seeing the traffic jam, I really wanted to get out of the car and become a traffic policeman.The traffic jams in Beijing are often caused by people getting stuck there, which is man-made. Why can't they give way to each other?A lot of traffic accidents are also because you don't let me, and I don't let you, so they push together, and then they get blocked after a few kilometers.Many people drive unruly, merging and jamming indiscriminately. Originally, there were only three lanes on the road, but they could be squeezed into four or five lanes.If everyone could drive according to the rules and give way to each other, the traffic jams would definitely not be as they are now.

Now that there are more and more cars on Beijing roads, I think of Singapore again.Of course, their place is small and public transportation is good, we must admit this, but their management of private cars is also worthy of appreciation. First of all, they are very expensive to buy a car. You buy a Rolls Royce for 3 million, but you can only drive it from 7pm to 7am the next day. If you spend 6 million, you can drive it all day to open.Many young rich second generations in Singapore have a lot of "zombie cars". For example, it costs half the price to buy a Lamborghini. Originally, a 10 million car can be bought for 5 million. It can only be driven at night, so it is called a "zombie car".

Secondly, in Singapore, it costs 100 yuan for a car to cross the overpass, but if there are 4 people in the car, it will be free.Beijing can also learn from this method. As long as the car is full of people, it can be used for free.In Singapore, the full capacity is often a free ride with each other. If everyone lives in the same community and goes to work, you can take your car today and another car tomorrow. If you don’t have a car, you will pay a little gas fee.This will reduce a lot of traffic jams. Many years ago, at the filming scene in Spain, I had just completed a shot, and at a distance of about 100 meters, I saw our producer kept comparing pictures, and I asked from a distance: "What's wrong?" He couldn't tell, so I hurried over to find out that he had been robbed, and then pointed me in the direction the thief was running.Seeing that the thief had been running in circles for quite a while, Yuen Biao and I immediately jumped to chase after him, just like in the filming scene, jumping from a very high place, I first climbed and then kicked the electric pole , kicked the wall again and went down. Yuen Biao slid down from the side holding the electric pole. Both of us moved very quickly.As a result, we chased all the way, and the thief threw our passports all the way, and we had to pick one up when he threw one, but we didn't catch him in the end.Later, we were still discussing, and felt that we should not have picked him up at that time, and we should have caught him directly. After driving on the road for so many years, it is inevitable that there will be scratches.There have been countless times of all these minor accidents, and no one has ever asked people to pay money, and they have been let go every time.But there are two experiences that are quite interesting. Once, when I was driving in Hong Kong, I saw a truck next to it. There were two tattooed people sitting in the front cab, and two tattooed people sitting in the back of the truck.The car passed by us, and when it passed, they rubbed against each other. The car stops.Before we said anything, the people over there had already come to find trouble.My driver was the son of an old actor at that time, named Ah Xiao, with a very honest personality.He saw those tattooed men approaching, tremblingly, said: "Why didn't you look at it, just leaned over like this..." The other party was very arrogant: "Really? Didn't we look at it?" When I saw this situation, I put on my sunglasses and got out of the car. The four of them looked at me.I said: "Look at that line, how did you drive here? You are still so loud? It's rude!" The four topless men didn't say a word, they kept looking at me.I thought I was wearing sunglasses and they couldn't see who I was, so they continued, "You guys are being unreasonable. My car broke down and someone repaired it, and you don't need to pay for it, but you drive like this, and people die. What should I do? You don’t want this attitude, the villain will sue first!” In fact, while talking, I am always ready to fight.Anyway, in a real fight, I won't take much advantage of the four of them, but they will definitely suffer. After a while, the one who took the lead suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Long." He still recognized me.I said, "It's okay. You don't need to take care of my car, but don't do this again in the future, let's go." A few people dispersed.As soon as I got in the car, I immediately said to Ah Xiao: "Drive fast!" Another time was in Daqingshui.We went to film at night, driving on a dark road with no lights, and saw a lot of motorcycles passing by me one by one while walking.In the middle of the night, I really don't like the sound of this motorcycle, it's very noisy.He scolded: "Smelly Feizi." Before I finished this sentence, I saw a motorcycle trying to cut past me, but the direction was wrong, and it hit my car door in a straight line, and the man rolled over. On top of the hood of my car.Fortunately, the speed was not very fast at that time, and the man seemed to be fine.My car doors are all dented. As a result, all motorcycles stopped, and everyone gathered around.They went to see the man's condition first, and helped him up and leaned aside.I stopped the car, opened the door, this time without wearing sunglasses, and greeted them directly, "Young man!" All of them turned to look at me.I said, "Why don't you care about what happened to my car? You know that this kind of behavior is very dangerous? It doesn't matter if you hit my car. What if he dies?" That group of people listened to my "lesson" in silence.In fact, I was still a little scared. After all, they were outnumbered. If a group of them rushed over, they could snatch me, beat me, or even kidnap me in minutes. Suddenly, someone also stood up: "I'm sorry, Brother Long." I asked again, "Should I help you take him to the hospital?" They said, "It's fine, he can still stand up." I said, "Okay, be careful in the future, goodbye!" Riding motorcycles was very popular in Hong Kong for a while.At that time I was still very young, seventeen or eighteen years old, and I felt like my body was full of cow blood every day, and I had endless energy. One day the three of us crossed the road together, and saw seven people on the side of the road, and seven motorcycles parked beside them.I pointed at it while crossing the road, and told the friends next to me that when I grow up and have money, I want to buy a car like this, but the group of people suddenly came to provoke me and swear at me.I didn't feel anything at the time, and I didn't move. As a result, a friend next to me kicked it over, and the 7 motorcycles fell down like dominoes. Now two groups of people fought. In less than 30 seconds, all 7 opponents were knocked down by us.At that time, I felt pain in my hands and feet after the beating. Everyone saw that no one was killed, so they ran away quickly.In fact, I was also a little scared and excited. I was shaking all over while running, and I realized that I was bleeding in the middle of the run. Someone stabbed my thigh with a sharp stick, so I went to a jeans store and bought a new pair of jeans. Bind up the wound.At this time, we had already run to the opposite side, watching the fight from a distance, and an ambulance took them away.At that time, everyone was also a little scared, afraid of killing people, but luckily it was not published in the newspaper the next day. When I ran home, I saw that my hand was so swollen that even the bones on the back of my hand were exposed.At that time, I didn't dare to go to the hospital, so I wrapped it with something myself, but it turned out to be smelly two days later, with red blood and yellow pus coming out together.I opened it and took a closer look, and found that the bone was still there. I pulled it out myself, but it fell out. It turned out to be an incisor tooth!I don't know which unlucky ghost took a heavy punch from me and took out one of his front teeth... In Hong Kong, I was rushing to edit a film at noon, and when I drove to a slope, I met a man and a woman riding a motorcycle and fell to the ground. It seemed that the woman was seriously injured, lying on the ground, and the wheels of the motorcycle Still spinning. I quickly got out of the car, picked her up, put her on my newly bought jeep, and asked her boyfriend to get in the car with her. At noon, I turned on the headlights and double flashing lights, and drove through the red lights all the way to the hospital. The Baptist hospital I often go to, took the woman out of the car and rushed in.When I hugged her, I hugged her sideways. When I lowered my head, I could see that the bones of her thighs were all exposed. Her boyfriend was beside her, calling her name all the time, saying that you must not die... When I arrived at the hospital, the people inside asked me, "Brother, are you filming?" I cursed and yelled at them, "What filming? Hurry up and save someone!" Then I carried her into the emergency room, the hospital Some people say that we are a private hospital, and such ordinary patients cannot be accepted.I said that if you dare not accept her, you must take care of her and save her. After helping them settle down, I left and continued to edit the film.Passing by that place at night and seeing someone burning incense, I thought to myself, I hope it’s not that girl.A week later, the police came to the company for questioning.I just found out that the girl had passed away in her early twenties.Very poor. There was another traffic accident where the man was limping outside and the woman was still stuck in the car. I was with Yuan Kui at the time, so I asked him to come with me to rescue people, and first pried the car up with a jack. Then I tried to push the deformed car away. I wanted to pull the girl out, but when I touched her leg, it hurt. I didn’t dare to touch it, so I quickly handed over my brother to her boyfriend and asked him to call an ambulance. and fire trucks before getting her out and taking her to the hospital. When encountering such an emergency, what I should do is based on on-the-spot judgment.This is the same as the judgment we made on the spot, "The sun is gone, the machine is here to capture."I often have to do eight things at the same time, and I have developed the habit of reacting on the spot.Every time I see such a thing, I feel very sad. Everyone should pay attention to safety regardless of driving or cycling. I have a lot of jeeps in my family.It turned out that when I was in Hong Kong, when there was a typhoon and heavy rain at night, I took the jeep out.I have a jeep with the exhaust on the roof so no fear of water at all.Walking on the road, watching the windshield wipers slowly swipe back and forth, and then seeing cars breaking down in heavy wind and rain one after another, I would get out of the car and ask them if they needed help, and then I would help them one by one. The car was pushed out of the water. Still in Hong Kong, I drove up the mountain at night and saw a 14-year-old girl walking alone with her things on the way.I thought it was weird, so I stopped the car and asked her where she was going. She said she was going to Daqingshui, and I said you come up and I will see you off.Of course she can see who I am, so she doesn't think I'm a bad person. On the way, I asked her what she was doing in Daqingshui, and she said that she had invited a friend to meet at the seaside to celebrate her birthday together.I drove in the direction she pointed, and when I got to the beach, I saw a lot of racing people gathered, none of them looked like good people.I felt unsafe, so I asked her, are you sure you are going to such a place by yourself?She said I had a date.I said that if you look down from the top of the mountain, you can see that there is no one on the beach, and there is no light. If you want to go there, you have to pass through this group of people, which is very unsafe.She said my friend would come, but I said no, in today's situation, I will not let you go, I will take you home.She thought about it, decided to listen to me, and said, it's better not to go.I turned the car around and took her back to Kwun Tong's home.Maybe her parents don't know that I have done such a thing until now. Many years ago, when we were filming in Spain, we saw that the police said that the people who were robbed were all Japanese, and some people had their noses broken because of the robbing.At that time in Europe, it was all about robbing girls, seeing you wearing high heels and wearing famous brands. In Spain and Italy, they were the kind of burglars riding motorcycles. They would grab your bag with one hand when they passed by you. will fall to the ground.Now, many of those robbed are Chinese, because they took both famous brands and cash. Once when I accompanied director Luo Wei in Italy, he asked to check in at the airport, and opened his briefcase, which contained cash wrapped in an envelope.When preparing to check in, he saw my manager Chen Ziqiang (formerly his manager) was tired from walking, sitting on the side of the road in a queue.He thought the scene was funny, so he opened his bag, took out his camera and turned around to take a picture.That is, when you use the camera to make a "click", and then turn your head back, the entire briefcase is gone. Outside, those thieves will not rob us when they see people like us, but they will definitely rob you when they see girls. Seeing you wearing high heels and carrying a bag, knowing that you can't catch up or beat you, they will definitely rob you.Some thieves are not necessarily in the downtown area, they sometimes steal or rob in places where no one is around, so when you go out, you must keep your wallet and other valuables in sight, either hang a pocket bag, or hang your purse in front hold. I was still in a hotel lobby in a certain country, and I saw a very beautiful girl, holding a dog, wearing a miniskirt, sitting on the sofa.Many people gathered around, some watched the dog and said it was so cute, some peeked at the girl, and the girl would talk to them.After reading it all, I turned around and found that all the bags around me were gone.They just deliberately find a girl to come out to divert your attention. If you go to watch the dog and see the girl peeking at her underwear, her companion has already stolen your things. Once when I went to work in Shanghai, I saw someone smoking under the "No Smoking" sign at the airport.I walked over, pointed to the sign and said, "Can't you read? No smoking here." The man glanced at me, turned his head and left.I was left standing there by myself like an idiot. When we arrived in Shanghai, we made an appointment with Wang Leehom. The two of us sat in the back of the car together, looking out the window when we were bored.As a result, I saw a big bus passing by outside the window, and there was a woman holding a child inside, and threw the paper towel that wiped the dirty things out of the window.I told Wang Leehom, look, how can I be so uncivil, I must say something to her when I catch up with this car in a while!Master, drive faster and chase that bus. When our car caught up with that car, I opened the car window. Before I could speak, Wang Leehom said to the mother: "Hey! How can you litter? You will make it difficult for children. Do you know the good role models?..." After a few words, our car drove to the front, leaving behind the stunned expression of the mother who threw the tissue. I have too many positions in a movie. In addition to director, screenwriter, actor, and martial arts instructor, I will also be a life director.What is a Life Director?I have to take care of everyone's basic necessities of life.I want everyone to eat well, everyone to live well, and everyone to have a seat when they eat on set. There are 350 staff members and 350 stools on site. For 400 people to eat, there must be a table for 400 people to sit on.You can't sit on the road to eat, you have to have a tent to keep them out of the wind and shade. Over the years, I have seen too many bad things.There are many production directors who deduct half of the meal fee and reduce the extra money from 80 yuan to 20 yuan. This kind of situation is not allowed in my crew, and I have to take care of it myself.Every extra receives the money by himself. Don’t ask one person to collect the money from 10 people. This person may cheat others of their hard-earned money.It is precisely because I have seen many such situations that I want to set an example on Jackie Chan's studio, and let all the producers, directors, and bosses who are working now know that there are problems, but we must know how to manage them. When filming "Zodiac", we were going to build a huge scene in a studio of China Film, and the producer informed me to go to the scene that day.As soon as I entered, I saw all the workers burning iron and welding, because my scene requirements were realistic and met the requirements and intensity of shooting action scenes.The studio has a large space of 1,500 square meters. As soon as I walked to the door, I couldn't stand it, and I had to put on a mask immediately.I first went to see where they built the model, and then saw that there was no light inside, and it was only working by the sunlight coming in. The smell became worse as I walked in. At that time, I felt angry: "Who is the person in charge?" They called the general person in charge of this scene to me: "Brother, what's the matter?" This one requires money." I said, "Open it right away! If no one pays me, I will pay it! Does it cost a lot of money to run a fan? Do you know that you are murdering people like this? You have shortened the lives of these working children by at least 10 years! Burning for a fucking month, without wearing glasses, just burning like this! This is the smell! I'm going to see an exhaust fan at the scene this afternoon!" Seeing that I was really angry, they immediately found a way to install an exhaust fan on the spot. When I saw Han Sanping the next day, I told him about it.That day, Han Sanping and Director Zhang Hongsen came with me to inspect the site again. I think they really improved the site conditions a lot.The person in charge of the site came over and said, "Look, brother, this is where we eat, and this is where we rest..." I said, "It's useless for you to be nice to me, you have to be nice to the staff." A few days later, I was working on site, and a very young worker came over and said, thank you, brother.I turned around and didn't recognize him, but later I realized that he was a welding worker. I am at the scene every day, and I can't wait for 800 people to look at me behind me. I always think about people's feelings all the time.I often tell people in my crew that when we film, we should be human beings, not human beings.This is a principle of my filming, it is very important.Especially today, I'm not filming for money or for awards, I'm all for fulfilling my own ideals, and this principle must be followed even more.
