Chapter 41 Three Strange People: Cai Lan, Ma Yun and Ma Weidu

When I was sixteen or seventeen, I first met him on the set of Shaw Brothers.He was working in movies at that time. He is a Singaporean. I don’t know why he came to work in Hong Kong.Later Shaw Brothers sent him to Japan to study, and after he finished his studies, he worked as a producer at Shaw Brothers, and he has a lot of fate with Shaw Brothers.He has been in Shaw Brothers for 20 years, Golden Harvest for 20 years, and he has experienced all those years in Hong Kong movies. He admired Mr. Run Run Shaw very much, and once relayed to me a sentence of Mr. Shao: "You like movies very much, and I like movies very much. If you like movies, you should do it for a long time. When movies are at a low ebb, you have to find a way Survive." Later he went to Golden Harvest to work. In the era when gangsters were prevalent in Hong Kong, I encountered some troubles because of contract issues. Mr. Zhou Wenhuai from Golden Harvest told him: "You take Jackie Chan to leave Hong Kong to film, where do you want to go? Just go there.” With such an opportunity, we filmed “Food Truck” in Spain.At that time, I thought it was very extravagant, and even rented the castle as a shooting location.

In 1997, Mr. He Guanchang died of a heart attack. It was he who invited Cai Lam from Shaw Brothers to Golden Harvest. We have always cooperated very well.After He Guanchang left, Cai Lan also left the film industry. He is a calligrapher himself, very knowledgeable, knows poetry, seal cutting, plays with antiques and ancient jade, and understands these things very well. I didn't know he was such a cultured person before, I only knew that he was a producer.After I arrived at Golden Harvest, he was already in Golden Harvest, and he supervised the production of my film.The two of us often hang out together, and we have learned a lot about what to eat, drink, and play with him, and he knows all of these things.Including how to look at the world and life, I am also learning from him.This man enjoys life so much.I have collaborated with him on beverages, rice and chili, packaging, and endorsement for him. I have a good relationship with him. He is half of my master.

I know that he is a genius, the boss of Alibaba, who was introduced by friends and would invite each other to dinner.Anyway, I regarded him as a genius, and he regarded me as a genius. He told me that you are really good, big brother.Now that Alibaba is listed in the United States, congratulations to him. When "Zodiac" went to Hangzhou for publicity, we had dinner together.At the dinner table, he talked about how to make Tmall, including that the logo of Tmall came from RMB.I was shocked. He asked someone to take out a 100 yuan card on the spot. There was actually a cat logo on it, which is what he looks like on Tmall now.This man is so interesting.

A friend told me that some media once dug up the video of Jack Ma interviewed by Hangzhou TV station many years ago.At that time, he was just an ordinary young man. The TV station made unannounced visits on the side of the road to see which passers-by dared to stop the villain who stole the manhole cover.He was interviewed by the TV station as a brave passerby, so cute.This incident shows that great people will have some excellence. I met Mr. Ma because of collecting, and learned a lot from him.Like how those people make fakes, I also learned a lot, and finally realized that there are almost no real products on the market now, and 99% are fake.

"Zodiac" contains some content about cultural relics, and I learned many things from Teacher Ma.I did a talk show with him during the promotion of the movie.He told me that the spread of the movie is really great, and even people in places as far away as Africa recognize you. He also talked about a time when he went to Greece. When he was playing in the countryside, he took a photo with the camera I gave him. He met a man who kept pointing at the camera. At first he misunderstood that the camera had nothing to do with you. It must be mine, I took it right.Later, when the person pointed to my name on the camera, he understood, so he asked the translator to take the camera and tell the person that it was a gift from Mr. Jackie Chan, and there was a number on it. The person felt very envious. Later, Teacher Ma also told that person, if you have the opportunity to go to Beijing, come and see me, and left him a business card.

Teacher Ma is a person who treats strangers very well.His life experience is already very clear to many people, and I admire him very much.Now there is such a big museum, which is full of good things.He told me that he would donate the entire museum to the country in the future.
