Chapter 30 Get more courageous

People of my generation, who watched Jackie Chan movies since childhood, only knew that this man was brave enough to do so many dangerous moves in person. We don’t really know about this man’s growth process and how he got to where he is today.After getting acquainted with him slowly, I found that he had encountered serious failures more than once in his life, and he had fallen to the bottom several times. He might have given up a long time ago if he put it on others, but he just has a kind of resilience. Get up again.This may be the luck of the elder brother, or it may be a great mission from heaven. He is destined to go through these trials to make him achieve what he is today.

Some people may say that because you are the big brother, no one will see your hard work and hard work for so many years, but in fact, in the process of growing up with failure, the big brother will slowly discover some people and gather them around Come, give them more opportunities for development.At this time, the eldest brother himself seemed to be a mirror, and the people reflected in the mirror, some worked hard, some were diligent, some were dedicated, and some, like him, were indomitable in the face of difficulties.He projected his own attitude in the face of setbacks onto others, and kept looking for the same kind in this world.

The elder brother sitting behind the monitor seems to be busy in his own world, but his eyes are like radar constantly observing the surroundings.Experience accumulated over the years has created an intuition, and it only takes a few glances to know who is slacking off and who is working hard.Whether it's lighting, track pushing, prop handling, or staff in various positions, every move is under his observation. Many years ago, when my eldest brother was still doing martial arts, he conquered everyone on the set with his work attitude. He was determined not to feel pain when he fell to the ground with a bang. He hid aside and grinned.In fact, these people will also see it in their eyes, so how could it be okay to fall to the ground so hard?But this person's attitude is good enough, and he will be called again next time he starts work, giving him more job opportunities and learning opportunities.Now, instead of sitting in the director's chair, I also change myself to discover these materials that can be made.He often said: "Every bit of what you do today, don't think that others can't see it." Now all the martial arts in the family class are found in the process of filming. Those who do things silently without taking credit will invite them to work in their own companies. Many of them have been working with their elder brother for twenty or thirty years since they were discovered.

Many people were surprised that Ding Sheng was asked to shoot "Little Soldier" at the beginning.In fact, before deciding to cooperate, the elder brother had been silently observing this person for a long time.In the beginning, Ding Sheng was an advertisement director, and he worked with his elder brother on several commercial shootings. During the filming, Ding Sheng didn’t know that his elder brother was watching him from a distance, but his eldest brother gradually discovered his on-site deployment ability and calm personality, and followed him. Compared with many anxious and frizzy people nowadays, it looks very special.After getting in touch again, I found that this person turned out to be an all-rounder, capable of acting, writing lyrics, singing, drawing, directing, editing, and seal cutting... Thinking of the story of "The Little Soldier" I have been brewing for more than 20 years, and I have never been able to find a suitable one. I had someone to do it, so I talked to Ding Sheng and gave him a relatively well-formed script.A month later, Ding Sheng submitted a detailed planning report to his eldest brother, in the historical background at that time, what should be the costumes and props, and he also helped the eldest brother to pick out some small mistakes related to the era in the script.After seeing this detailed report, the eldest brother immediately decided to hand over the play to him. In 2013, the two collaborated on "Police Story 2013".

The eldest brother often educates the young people around him, details determine success or failure. Every time he looks at the camera on the set, he basically doesn’t pay much attention to what the protagonist is like. I believe everyone has prepared well for these important parts. He will pay attention to the extras and props next to him. These are more important. And loopholes are often out here.A big general standing in the front is majestic, while two soldiers standing behind are listless and their hats are crooked. This is not acceptable.When filming costume dramas, I have to check everyone’s makeup and see if there are any modern equipment on the scene. Every time my eldest brother stands in front of the camera and acts, he will remind the photographer: “Don’t look at me, help me look behind scenes and extras."

The eldest brother appreciates dedicated people, and work attitude is very important in his eyes. Zhang Lanxin in "Zodiac" was chosen because of this.At that time, the casting director showed the eldest brother the video, and after seeing the performance of the first three people, the eldest brother made a final decision on Zhang Lanxin. "When my casting director and action group went to pick people, the camera was standing next to them and they were shooting non-stop. It doesn't mean that you only shoot when you are performing an action. I just want to see the details through this. Many people don't notice this. One point, when I hear "do it again", I will show displeasure, and when I am asked "Can you do it again from a different angle", I will even be a little impatient. Every time I see such a person, no matter whether she No matter how good the play is, I will immediately press fast forward, skip to the next part without watching the acting part. When I see Zhang Lanxin, she is very different. After filming one, she will be very proactive and polite. Said: "I'm sorry, teacher, can you do it again for me?" Then I saw her turn around and practice kicking in front of the mirror, and then said: "Okay, teacher, I will do it again." When I saw this, I turned my head and turned to the producer. Said, it’s her. The producer told me that there are actually a few people who are better than her in the front and back. I said that I don’t want it no matter the front or the back. I don’t like people like them, even if they are better than her. It's useless, I want this person, I like her work attitude!"

All along, the eldest brother loves to use newcomers in filming, he doesn't like the hassle of cooperating with big names.Filming with them will be very tiring, and I will not be happy.If there is no date today and no date tomorrow, you can only keep shooting stand-ins, or transfer the tricks to other leading actors, so the effect will naturally not look good.His films no longer need the help of others to support the market, so it is better to cooperate with newcomers. Newcomers can follow the crew all day long, learn things at any time and go to the battle to shoot at any time, which saves a lot of trouble.

Newcomers can get the opportunity to cooperate with big brothers, and they may be recognized by audiences all over the world with just one play. This is an extremely rare blessing in the industry.Brother often thinks of himself back then, how he hoped that others would give him a chance, especially after experiencing so many setbacks, without those noble people who stood up to help him, it would be difficult to get through the difficulties again and again .Now he has become the person who can give others opportunities, and he has always tried his best to help others. After experiencing many serious setbacks, the eldest brother regrouped again and again until today, and gradually found Jackie Chan's unique film style.For so many years, as a group of unique existences, the fans of Big Brother, in the process of following Big Brother, there is actually a spirit of getting more frustrated and courageous.Not only does the elder brother never give up and persevere at work, but he is also often obsessed with small things in life.

When I first arrived in the United States at the age of 21 or 2, my elder brother discovered that there was a store with very interesting game consoles.One of the games, according to his description, is to use a triangular rocket to hit a stone. Once hit, the stone becomes two pieces, two pieces become four pieces, and each piece becomes four pieces... When he first started playing, he He always died as soon as he turned it on, and died as soon as he turned it on. Now his fighting spirit was aroused, and he ran there to play every day.At that time, it cost two and a half dollars to play once, and he could spend fifty or sixty dollars a day.

What happened after the fight?First, the 10 rankings in the leaderboard in one machine were all JC, and then he called from the first machine to the last machine. All 20 machines in the hall were all JC. At that time, he only spent two Maoban can play all day long.In that game, players can get a plane for every 100,000 points. In the end, the big brother has more than 20 planes. The score is so high that he intentionally kills himself. Take it, come back and watch the machine continue to play, eat the pizza when it comes, look at the screen while eating, wait for the person next to you to say hurry up, you will die soon!The elder brother rescued it easily.

Don't think that he is only in his 20s. In fact, during the promotion of "Zodiac", the elder brother spent time on the private jet not only chatting with everyone, but also holding an iPad to play games. Put your name on it. Mr. Qi, my eldest brother’s partner in the Mainland, once told me a short story.Once, the two of them flew abroad together. After boarding the plane, Mr. Qi introduced a game to his eldest brother with an iPad. He said that this game is very difficult to play. How to fight and what skills to use, otherwise, you will definitely die soon.After speaking, Mr. Qi went to sleep.After he woke up, the eldest brother had already played this game for more than ten hours.President Qi took the iPad over and looked at it, dumbfounded.The entire leaderboard is full of JC's name.This has happened several months ago, and up to now, Mr. Qi still hasn't broken the record left by his elder brother on his iPad... Whether you say he is childish or obsessive-compulsive, in fact, these short stories about playing games also reveal a spirit of getting more and more courageous as he gets frustrated, and never giving up until he reaches his goal.
