When it comes to Chinese kung fu superstars, the first thing that comes to mind for the vast majority of people is definitely Jackie Chan . His works have run through the youth of several generations, and his spirit has also deeply influenced the youth of today.
This year is the 60th anniversary of Jackie Chan's big brother in the film, and he brought another big surprise to the audience, an action comedy movie with Jackie Chan characteristics"The Spirit of Ryoma".100 help plan
Dragon, refers to the special type of work created by Hong Kong movies, dragon and tiger martial artists.
At the peak of Hong Kong kung fu movies at that time, a large number of poor children devoted themselves to the martial arts industry. They play thugs, stand-ins, and stunts in the movie. Every penny is bought by blood, tears and sweat.
It is also difficult for ordinary dragon and tiger martial artists to have a bright future, and most of the time they are green leaves that accompany the protagonist.
But Jackie Chan is breaking the so-called restrictionsFrom the most marginal small martial arts, step by step to the world stage.
Dragon and Tiger Warrior
The film was inspired by the documentary "Dragon and Tiger Warrior", and director Yang Zi was based on Jackie Chan when preparing the script.
"Big brother is the only candidate for the movie. ”
The film depicts two emotional lines-
One is Lao Luo (played by Jackie Chan) and Aima Chitu.
Lao Luo, who was the strongest dragon and tiger martial artist in the past, was injured during a dangerous action shooting, and since then the scenery is no longer there, and he can only rely on Chitu for his life.
Lao Luo is unwilling to live the second half of his life in a mess, and has always dreamed of reviving his strength.
So, he took Chitu back to the set and did dangerous actions with his life.
Just like Lao Luo's sentence in the movie, "The tribute has to be real".
At the filming site, large and small action scenes,
Jackie Chan all went into battle in person, insisting on real fights and real falls.
The difficulty of playing with animals is self-evident, and Jackie Chan is often injured by horses.
"I stepped on it three times, kicked it countless times, my whole foot was swollen, and not only that, it would bite me. ”
Once, Jackie Chan fell heavily from his horse, and the ground was concrete, without any protective measures.
After being helped up by the staff, he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, repeating "It's okay, it's okay" in his mouth.
I endured the pain by myself, for fear of causing trouble to the people around me.
Another emotional line is Lao Luo and his daughter Xiaobao (played by Liu Haocun).
When Lao Luo was young, he devoted himself to his career and neglected his wife and daughter, so he divorced.
The father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, and there is a deep estrangement.
And because of a lawsuit, give them time and opportunity to get to know each other.
In the process of getting along, Xiaobao felt his father's strong love, and gradually understood the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial arts.
Lao Luo made up for the regrets of life, and was no longer a man and a horse, fighting alone.
In a sense, the film is a lot like Jackie Chan's personal autobiography.
True colors play the dragon and tiger martial arts, and a fight is a lifetime.
His knee originally needed surgery, but because he was worried about affecting the filming, he simply postponed the operation and received nine occlusive needles.
Some people may wonder what is a closed shot?
In the field of clinical medicine, it is called 'occlusion** is a ** pain method that evolved from local anesthesia, but it does not have ** effect. ”
To put it simply, it is a high-end version of "painkillers".
And clinically, there is a strict limit on the frequency of occlusive injections:
No more than 1 time per month and no more than 3 times a year.
The 68-year-old Jackie Chan rides horses, plays with knives, plays with sticks, and even boards the Ferris wheel himself to shoot difficult action scenes.
Jackie Chan's persistence and love for movies and martial arts is really tearful.
Superstars don't dare to retire
Jackie Chan has always had a label on him-
DesperatelyThere are also a lot of memories in "Ryoma Spirit".are all shadows of his 60-year film career.
In Plan A, Jackie Chan staged the famous "Bell Tower Jump".
Jumping directly from the 15-meter bell tower, there is no coercion, there is no safety mat, and the only protective measure is two plastic sheets.
This shot was shot three times.
The first time he landed on his hands, the second time he landed on his shoulders, and the third time he landed on his head, his neck bone was seriously injured, and his nose bone was cracked.
In "Police Story", the pioneering work of Hong Kong-style police films, he jumped from a 7-storey shopping mall holding on to a light tube.
At that time, the line safety protection was far less than now, and the lamp had a great risk of leakage.
This is really acting with your life!
When filming "Red Fan Zone" abroad, Jackie Chan jumped between two buildings 20 meters in the air and jumped into the air, shocking Hollywood.
Dragon Tiger Brothers has a scene where you jump from a cliff to a hydrogen balloon.
He went to all the large and small insurance companies in China back then, but none of them were willing to insure him, and the degree of danger can be imagined!
The film was filmed in Yugoslavia at the time, and Jackie Chan had to jump to a high wall 15 meters above the ground with the help of a few centimeters of thick trees.
There was still no protection, and the ground was full of stones.
Although the final visual effect is amazing, it is in exchange for a severe brain injury.
Who Am I", Jackie Chan once again challenged the limit.
Rappel down from the façade of the 21-storey Tontai building in Rotterdam.
This shot has also been hailed as "the most dangerous stunt shot in history".
watched Jackie Chan's every move, followed by horror.
Jet Li once sighed: He really did something superhuman.
It is precisely because of Jackie Chan's real swords and guns of hard work,It is only then that Chinese kung fu and Chinese movies have gone to the world.
With the change of the times and the development of the film industry, the way of doing things of Dragon and Tiger Warriors has been eliminated, but their spirit has been retained, dare to fight, and never give up.
Salute to every filmmaker who has contributed to Chinese kung fu films!
