Chapter 32 to learn

When I was doing martial arts and acting as a dead body, as long as I was not filming, I would hide by the side and watch the director film, and when it was time to start, I would lie back on the ground.See how people fight, how to arrange the camera, how to arrange the position, how to act... Every day is like a class, and I learned a lot over time, which gradually paved the way for me to be a martial arts instructor and director in the future.Later, when I met more people all over the world, I learned different things from everyone. Only in this way, you will know that you will never know enough.

When I first arrived in the United States, I only said four words: eggs, milk, bacon, and toast when ordering food. When people asked me how to make eggs, I couldn’t understand them. There were many misunderstandings, and I felt very embarrassed. I didn't want to go to the restaurant to eat, so I was so hungry that I called back to Hong Kong in the middle of the night to complain to my colleagues. Later, I was taught to say hamburgers, French fries and Coke.I only know these few words again, I ate fast food for a long time, and my cholesterol exceeded the standard.Americans are generally very enthusiastic, and strangers will greet each other. If they meet in the elevator, they will greet you first, Good Morning, and I will reply Good Morning, and then they will ask, where are you From and the like, if I said a little more, I couldn't understand and couldn't answer, so I felt very embarrassed.From then on, whenever I saw someone coming in in the elevator, I quickly bowed my head and pretended to be tying my shoelaces. When someone went out, I stood up again. When someone came in again, I tied my shoelaces again, just to avoid their eyes , Avoid talking to people.

Working with some young people in filming, I found that they are simply too good.I admire the speed and seriousness of learning things.When filming "Rush Hour 2", I wanted to find a newcomer, and they told me that Zhang Ziyi was very good among the newcomers. I said yes, and recommended her to the director, and the foreigner agreed to find her to be the villain.She couldn't speak English well at the beginning, but after working together, she felt that this girl was very smart.She is quick at learning English and maths. You can teach her to learn everything well, and she puts on a decent air. Those foreign audiences also like her very much.Another example is Zhang Jingchu. When she first cooperated with me, she already spoke English very well.These two are American films with me, and they are very good when they talk about it on the scene.When filming "Shinjuku Incident", Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing spoke Japanese fluently, and I felt ashamed. I had learned some Japanese, and I had to write big-character posters at the scene, otherwise I would not remember them.I admire their kind of people who love to learn.

Cigars and red wine were both later interests.Started drinking red wine because of doctor's advice.At the beginning, I thought red wine was not good, and I liked to drink sweet white wine.That year, I was going to Australia and had to transit through Singapore. I received a phone call asking me to have a physical examination, because I was going to the United States to film a movie, and the crew needed to get my physical examination report before I could buy insurance.At that time, every time I filmed an American film, I had to have a physical examination.After that examination, the doctor said that I was fine, but my agent had a lot of problems. He drank whiskey and brandy in whole glasses. The doctor told him, don’t drink spirits like that again. Yes, if you must drink, you can drink a small amount of red wine.

When I heard this sentence, I asked the doctor, is red wine better?The doctor said, yes, lower cholesterol.I just remembered it.Then I went to Australia to visit my parents.I received a letter from the United States in Australia, saying that the inspection report from Singapore was not accepted in the United States. As a result, I had to re-examine in Australia, and I had to draw a lot of blood tests, and I had to do the thing I hate the most—— Injection, really broke down.After checking, the doctor asked me, what do you usually eat?I can eat anything.So what do you usually eat for a long time?I thought about it and said red bean soup, mung bean soup.He said, no wonder you are in such good health, the platelets are very good, that's what you drink.At that time, I knew that choosing the right food is very important to the body, so I remembered that the doctor said to drink red wine.

What kind of red wine should I drink?I can't even remember the names of those red wines in France, and they are very clever.She is quick at learning English and maths. You can teach her to learn everything well, and she puts on a decent air. Those foreign audiences also like her very much.Another example is Zhang Jingchu. When she first cooperated with me, she already spoke English very well.These two are American films with me, and they are very good when they talk about it on the scene.When filming "Shinjuku Incident", Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing spoke Japanese fluently, and I felt ashamed.

What kind of red wine should I drink?I can’t even remember the names of those red wines in France. If there is no topic to talk about, everyone will be a little embarrassed.Everyone just talked about wine and cigars. Which red wine is the best? Some kind of wine from 1982 is better...Everyone said the same thing.If I didn't understand, I could only smile and sit there stupidly, and then I secretly made up my mind, no, I have to learn! Learn how to look at, how to smoke, how to choose cigars, learn how to smell and drink red wine, and meet them after learning well.At that time, they were all discussing French red wine, so I deliberately said, There is an Australian wine, it is very good (there is a very good red wine in Australia), what brand is it called.They were dumbfounded and asked me what kind of wine it was.I said this is a kind of wine in Australia, which one is there, especially a certain one is the best, and they said after listening to it, then we have to try it.

At that time, none of them knew about Australian red wine, so I deliberately differed from them, and then invited them to drink my stored wine. Later, I quickly stir-fried Australian red wine, and the price increased by more than ten times.The red wine brand thanked me very much, and helped me produce a Jackie Chan wine, using the grapes of one of their best wines, the same process, and the whole winery helped me make that batch of wine.My batch of red wine is different from other people's. There is a sentence "Don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving" written on the back, only my wine has this written on the back.

This wine was released in that batch at the time, but it is no longer available. I still have a few hundred bottles left in Hong Kong. It is delicious. Who can have a bottle now?Once the batch was first brewed, he asked me how many bottles I wanted.He said that he planned to send me 100 boxes, and asked me how much more, I think 100 boxes is a lot, so he said enough.As a result, the 100 boxes were really gone in the blink of an eye. This batch of wine only produced 22,000 cases, about 260,000 bottles, 600 cases in Hong Kong, 2,000 cases in Taiwan, and 3,000 cases in France... Seeing that they were selling very quickly, I thought, no, I have to recycle.When I first received it, it was already 800 yuan a bottle. I said, okay, accept it!In the end, it cost 1,200 yuan a bottle, 1,600 yuan a bottle, and the final recycling cost me several million.Now I don't want to sell it anymore, I am the only one who owns this batch of wine in the world.This batch of wine is from 1989, and it is the best time to drink it now, and now I use it as a gift. When we were young, we used to go racing together as a group, and nobody cared about it, and it wasn't considered illegal.Those of us filming together are often in the suburbs after work is over, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, me, Chen Xunqi, Zeng Zhiwei, everyone goes to play by themselves, and sometimes gambles among themselves.Later, I went to the United States to shoot a movie called "Cannonball Run", in which all Mitsubishi cars were used. After the end, they asked me to be the image spokesperson. I have been the spokesperson until now, and all the cars in my movies are Mitsubishi.At that time, we held a "Jackie Chan Cup" together, which was a professional racing competition. After a few years of running this competition, it became uninteresting.I thought, how can it be fun?It's better to get a "Jackie Chan Cup" where all female stars race cars. It was held in Macau at the time, and it became a big hit. Later, many people who went to Macau almost left after watching the "Jackie Chan Cup". They didn't watch other professional competitions, thinking there was nothing interesting.I have been doing it for several years, and every year they charge me very expensive fees, how much is the venue fee, how much is the various fees, and then there is a price increase in one year, I don’t think I want to do it, I will bring benefits to you He still charged me so much money, and later changed to Zhuhai and Shanghai to do it.This is for charity. It’s very hard to run a competition, but in the end it’s less than one or two million yuan. I think it’s better to donate the one or two million yuan by yourself. It’s very troublesome to ask for help, so I don’t do it in the end. up.After that, I participated in professional competitions with the Mitsubishi team, the Paris-Dakar Rally, and I sponsored domestic teams. Looking back now, I actually want to remind everyone not to be addicted to playing these things.Whether it's red wine, cigars, or anything else, just treat it as a hobby and don't get caught up in it.When you buy wine, you need wine boxes, wine storage, and energy to preserve it. At the beginning, I bought a lot of good wine for my father.I remember one time, I received a call from Australia. It was my friend. At my father’s house, the friend called me and said that a certain expensive bottle of wine you bought for your father was broken.I said it's okay, I'll buy another bottle next time.As a result, my father called again in the middle of the night, and he said, in fact, the bottle of wine was not broken, I just didn't want to take it out for your friends to drink, so I just laughed.Many years later, my father passed away, and I went to Australia to arrange the funeral.After the burial, I went back to my father's house to pack up my things. When I went to his wine cellar and opened it, all the good wine I had bought for him over the years was there, and he was never willing to drink a bottle.I was very sad.I took out two bottles, sat with my manager and all the people who accompanied me to see my father off, and drank while crying.Everyone reminded me, are you sure you want to open it?I said, open it, what's the point of keeping it any longer... Now, I don't like to store red wine anymore, and I hardly buy any more.I still have a lot of them at home, so I try to give them away as much as possible, or take them out for charity auctions, or share them with good friends. In addition to cigars, red wine, racing cars, I also learned a lot of other things.Bowling can be regarded as a semi-professional, having reached the finals in Hong Kong and the finals in Australia.I am very good at billiards, but now my eyes are blurred, which affects my level a bit.I also play badminton well.In roller skating, I can do some simple tricks, somersaults and the like.Side skiing, skiing, snowboarding, diving, motorcycles, bicycling, skydiving, all these things are learned from filming. I don’t usually have time to learn, but I can learn whatever I want to do in filming, and I can learn anything. All very fast.
