Chapter 29 dedicated to fans

In December 2012, when "Zodiac" arrived at Shenyang station for publicity, and went to the theater for a face-to-face meeting, I met the legendary "Tattoo Brother".He has been a fan of mine for many years, and has written the names of many of my movies on the back, the latest one being "Zodiac".He brought his child to visit me that day, and I gave him a down jacket of my own brand. Sometimes in retrospect, from the beginning of having fans to today, there are too many stories with them.Crazy, bizarre, touching, scary...it's all there.I know very well that without the support of fans, there would be no Jackie Chan today.

Back then, I quickly became famous in Southeast Asia, and among all the movie fans, Japanese girls were the craziest. They are always able to get my itinerary with great powers, and then buy a plane ticket and follow it all over the world. If they find out which hotel and room I live in, they will take over the entire floor, and three or four girls will share a room together. Room.They wouldn't bother me, but as soon as I was in the corridor, all the doors would click open together.Sometimes at the end of a day's work, local friends want to take me out for a meal, and I really want to relax. Such a simple thing is difficult to do.After all the activities are completed, you have to go back to the room to change clothes, otherwise it would be silly to go out in those suits.Movie fans usually follow the pace of my activities and return to the hotel together from the outside.After returning to the room, as soon as I opened the door to come out, they would all open the door and watch, so that I would not dare to go out, and they would follow me wherever I knew I was going.

I couldn't do it so swaggeringly, so I tried to open the door quietly and whispered to my friends, "Let's go", but as soon as I stood in the corridor, the doors of all the rooms opened again, and they all came out again.Embarrassed, I said, "Ah, I came out to say hello to you and then I'm going back to sleep." After repeating this a few times, I feel very miserable. When I go abroad, I can’t go anywhere, even if I want to eat something delicious.As long as the light in my room is on at night, they don't sleep and wait.I am also a person who likes to go to bed late, and I don’t want them to stay up late, so I go to the bathroom to get a towel and block the gap under the door of the room so that the light can’t come out, so I can stay in the room as late as I want Just how late.

The girls saw that there was no light in my room, so they all slowly rested.After discovering this, I sometimes wait until late to go out quietly with my friends. To this day, many Japanese movie fans are already mothers holding elementary school students.When I went to Japan for events, some of them would come with two children in their arms, and some even brought their daughter and grandson with them. They were really loyal. My company in Hong Kong has two doors.Because there are often crazy fans who come to the company to wait for me. If I want to enter the company for a business meeting, my colleagues will call me in advance and say that there are fans waiting at the door. Brother, you’d better come in through the back door today.I will listen to them.

There was once a German boy who waited at the door of my company every day, holding a box in his hand.Colleagues asked him to go in to drink some water, get some autographed small gifts, etc., but he didn't listen and didn't go in.I saw him standing there by the front door for many days. I felt very pitiful and couldn't bear it, so I asked my colleagues to invite him into the company, saying that my eldest brother is here today and wants to see you.When he came in and saw me, his whole body was shaking.I asked him why he stood here every day, and he said that I only have one wish, which is to join the family-building class.Before I came to Hong Kong this time, I had already made up my mind that I would not return to China if I could not see you and fulfill my wish.

I turned around and told my assistant to arrange for him to come to the scene tomorrow.At that time, "Serious Crime Squad" was being filmed, so I really put him in the crew.He asked if he wanted to show me kung fu, and I said no, you just learn something on the spot.The next morning, he arrived at the scene, and he was with the family-making class, taking sponges, moving things, and doing some trivial things, and he performed very well.At that time, I already had some experience in getting along with movie fans. For some crazy movie fans, I couldn’t get too close to them all at once, or I was worried that their emotions would go wrong, so I didn’t talk to them on the set. Instead of sitting with him, he sat with the family class to eat.

After a while, the assistant told me that the German boy was going home and his mother was sick, but he had no money to buy a plane ticket.I said, okay, buy him a plane ticket and let him go back.A week later, he actually came back.I asked him what was going on, and his reason made everyone happy, "From the time I came here to see you, to entering the set, and then to going home, it was like a dream. This week after returning to China, I have been with you. Everyone talked about this experience, but no one believed it. They all said that I was bragging. I couldn’t believe that I had been here. You really accepted me and brought me to work on the crew. I even forgot to shoot with you A photo to prove it. Now I came back to take a photo with you and take it back to show them."

I took a picture with him and he left with it.A few years ago, I took "Kung Fu Dream" to Germany to promote it, and I saw him again.He stood in the crowd and called me loudly. I was also very pleasantly surprised to see him. I asked him how he was, and he said that he was already making a movie, and he was working as a martial arts instructor on the set in Germany. I felt very happy when I heard it.Looking back now, his kung fu is actually really good. There is a Japanese girl who comes to watch me filming live every day.She came to Hong Kong and found the studio of Golden Harvest Company. At that time, there was a slope near the studio, and there would always be a sign there, posting announcements of tomorrow, what time it was, and who the actors were.Everyone would read the announcements before work was over, and this Japanese girl quickly learned to read the announcements.

I see her every day on set.She always leans against a wall with only half of her face exposed, looking at me, wherever I go, her eyes follow.When I stayed in another place, she would find a nearby wall to lean against, and then continue to look at me.If any girl on set talked to me, she would give her a very hateful look.Over time, I felt that she was very pitiful and it was not easy, so I asked the staff to ask her to have dinner together.I've been eating with a large group since the early days, when I sat inside and the staff took her to sit outside. Sometimes when she sees me, she greets me in Japanese, "Oh ha Yo", and then shakes my hand, then quickly slips a note to me.At the beginning, the content of the note was relatively normal, probably just some blessings, but then the content gradually changed.For example, she would write, "I know it's not convenient for you to say something to me publicly, it's okay, as long as you look at me, I know we both have feelings in our hearts." At that time, she learned Chinese for me, and wrote sentences Although there will be places that are not smooth, they can be seen clearly.At the beginning, she signed it as Yumiko, but later she began to write "Mrs. Chen".When she came to my set, she would tell people "I am Mrs. Chen".

She came to Hong Kong with an ordinary tourist visa, and when she had to leave the country at a certain time, she first went to Macau, and then transferred back to Hong Kong from Macau, and then she simply ignored the visa.When the people from the Immigration Bureau found her and asked her to go, she told the people from the Immigration Bureau that she was my wife.The people at the Immigration Bureau are very inexplicable, huh?Jackie Chan's wife?Although she didn't believe it, she actually gave her a passport extension.Later, she was always like this, and the Immigration Bureau called the company to check, and the company colleagues said that there was no such thing.Later, she gradually ran out of money, and the hotel she stayed in changed from a good one to a moderate one, and finally to a very bad one.I began to realize that going on like this is not an option, and I can no longer blindly let her indulge in it out of unbearable, and lose my normal life.

Then one time she freaked us out.My filming is over and I'm entering the post-production stage.She couldn't see me on set, so she found out where I lived.One night we all went to watch the editing, and we came back from work together at 4 o'clock in the morning, got off the car and hurried to the room.As soon as I entered the corridor, she came out of the dark place hiding by the wall and said "Hi..." to me, which shocked me and several colleagues, which was very scary.After doing this a few times, everyone started to get scared. She always insisted that she was Mrs. Chen, and she started to feel a little paranoid.The company colleagues had no choice but to report to the Immigration Bureau and ask her to return home.It's quite sad to think about it now, but at the time there was really no way, I was afraid that she would do something stupid if she went on like that. It turns out that I organize a Christmas party for movie fans every year, all of which have a scale of hundreds or thousands of people, and the most reached 4,000 people.When people come to Hong Kong from all over the world, I will arrange more than a dozen buses to pick them up at the airport, with the sign of "Jackie Chan International Fan Club" hanging on the bus.How big is Hong Kong?Every time I hold this kind of event, it will be known all over the city, and many hotels are full.Sometimes if I catch up with the filming period, I will also arrange buses to bring fans to visit the set. First, there are two buses. Everyone leaves after watching, and then two buses come. If more than a dozen cars come together, the scene will not be crowded. Every fan party has 16 family members who stand beside me as bodyguards and assistants. I am in charge of shaking hands, and they are in charge of giving gifts and taking pictures.Fans will line up and adjust their cameras before coming over. I shake hands with them, and the family members will take pictures with the camera and give out gifts.Activities with so many people must have this kind of efficiency and flow.Come, shake hands, take a picture, leave, get a present, next.The family-making class cooperated very well with me, and they had a tacit understanding.At the earliest time, I still signed it, so it would take about a day to finish the whole process, but I stopped signing it later. Once, when a girl came over, she asked me "May I..." in English. There were so many people, I couldn't hear clearly, so I said yes.She raised her hand, "slapped", and slapped me lightly on the face.I was stunned, and the family-making class was also stunned.Everyone didn't expect it, so I said it's okay, and the girl left and replaced her.The following year, she came again, queuing up for autographs.When I was signing for her, the pen fell off, so I bent down to pick it up, and when I got up, she slapped me hard, hard.I looked at her in surprise and she just smiled at me.The married class wanted to come and arrest her, but I stopped her and said it was all right, she smiled again and left.The girls in the queue at the back started crying when they saw her beating me, so I told everyone that it's okay, let's continue. In the third year, she actually came again.Still like this, another big slap.I thought it was impossible, why is this person like this?After the event, I told the family-making class, you have to pay attention to see what is going on, and why has it been like this for several years?They watched all the video tapes of the past three years and found her out.It turned out that she would come here with a different look every year, with different hair and different outfits.In the fourth year, as soon as she got off the plane and got on the bus, the staff recognized her.When they arrived at the event site, the family-making class already knew who she was, and when she came over, everyone stared at her in anticipation.She walked over and smiled at me again, and as soon as she raised her hand, she was grabbed by the family class and taken to the side.The person in charge of the fan club asked her: "Why did you do this?" She was very calm, "Now it proves that you remember me, and he remembers me." Everyone was dumbfounded that there are still such fans. "But if you're like this, you won't be able to participate in fan club activities anymore." She said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I can just watch from a distance." After they told me the situation, I suddenly remembered that John Lennon was shot and killed by fans, and I felt a little scared.Compared with him, a slap in the face is not bad for me. In future fan activities, the handshake will be changed to use the left hand.When taking pictures, I put my right hand on the back, and after taking one picture, I gently push them out with my right hand, and then change to another one.If they make any unexpected movements during the process, I can grasp their hands with my left hand, and my right hand can also react.At that time, when we were doing activities, the staff also began to do more detailed inspections to see if anyone was pretending to be a movie fan and carrying dangerous goods. Now, I have not done this kind of activity for many years, and these years have also begun to let my guard down.I didn't expect to meet her again some time ago.I went to an event and I was on the stage and she was just below the stage.When it was about to end, I was waving goodbye on the stage, and there was a girl below the stage waving at me desperately. I walked over to ask what was the matter, and she suddenly jumped up and wanted to hit me. Fortunately, she reacted quickly at that time, "ouch!" After hiding, after a closer look, it turned out to be her again, with another disguise.After so many years, when I almost forgot, I met again, she still wanted to slap me so persistently... There is also a girl from the Philippines.I bought a one-way ticket, and when I come to Hong Kong, I must find me, and I stand at the door of the company every day. My colleague said that I was in the United States, and she bought a plane ticket to fly to the United States.When we got to America, she thought I was in San Francisco, but I was living in Los Angeles.Once I went to San Francisco for a "Jackie Chan Day" event, and the mayor and I participated together. After the event, I was on the road in a convertible, and suddenly I saw this girl yelling at me across the road. I had seen her in Hong Kong before, and I thought, how could she appear here? The next day I was in Sacramento for a charity auction.As soon as I arrived at the hotel lobby where the event was held, I saw her again, with red lips, red clothes, red leather shoes, and red suitcase.She rushed over when she saw me, "I'm here for you", and I said "Thank you".She followed me after the event.When I was about to enter the elevator, she also rushed over. The hotel security said I'm sorry, Miss, please don't come up. She pointed at me and said, "I'm with him", but I was stopped, and I went upstairs first. Later, the hotel staff knocked on the door and said that the girl had no place to live, and told us she was your girlfriend.I said it's not my girlfriend, see if you can arrange for her. The next morning when my car was about to leave at 6 o'clock, the bouncer came and told me that the girl was still in the lobby. I thought she was very pitiful, so I said to say hello to her when I went down, the bodyguard said: "You still don't want to go, the car is already parked at the door, and we will take you to the car as soon as you reach the lobby. Our job is Guarantee your safety, I hope you can listen to our opinions." I wanted to argue a few words at first, but listening to what they said was fine. I stood in the hotel room and looked down, a girl in a red dress was standing by the side of the road.When she saw my car approaching the door of the hotel, she knew I was about to come out.I couldn't bear it when I saw it, so I discussed it with the bodyguard, and I should meet her when I go down later, she has been waiting for me for a day, what can she do with a girl.They insisted that no, "I can't see you, we can't take responsibility if something goes wrong." Just drive." I said, "Okay." We had a total of three cars parked on both sides of the road. As soon as I got there, I got into the one on the opposite side of the road, and the car started immediately.The girl was standing at the door waiting for me, but when she saw that I got into another car and the car was already moving, she was astonished and rushed over immediately. I still remember that scene. I turned my head and looked through the rear window of the car, watching her running hard to catch up with her. After running a few steps, the suitcase fell off, and after a few more steps, the high heels fell off. After running again, she fell down again... Just like the picture in the movie, I was really heartbroken watching it, tears rolled in my eyes, and I felt cruel. Not long after, she chased me to my home in Los Angeles and stood at the door, refusing to leave no matter what.In the end, the staff could only call the police and let the police take her away. Later, when I held a concert in Las Vegas, she told the staff that she had planted a bomb in the venue.Everyone hurriedly called the police, and after the venue was cleared, it was closed again. The police searched inside with police dogs, but they couldn’t find them in the end.At that time, she had already started to lose control, and everyone had to guard against her closely, lest she really do something stupid one day. I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, and the experience is getting more and more. People in the family-building class have a saying, "Eye always on Jackie".They protect me, and I will pay attention to it myself. When encountering suspicious people, they can't get close to me. Everywhere in the world, there are always some flowers and cards at the door of the hotel room. The contents written on them are all kinds of strange things. One type will write: "I am waiting for you in the room number. I have no other requirements. I just want your child. Don't worry, I will definitely not tell others." There are all kinds of languages, and I find it funny and cute when I see it.There are too many stories to tell about them, but I have always reserved a space for them in my heart.If the relationship between people is fate, I am very grateful that you are willing to follow Jackie Chan in this life. I would like to dedicate this article to my crazy and lovely movie fans.
