I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 816: Talking nonsense

I've heard before that Jackie Chan is very generous...

Reading his autobiography, you can get the following information:

You don’t have to pay for a meal out with him, he pays everything; he helps you pay the down payment when you buy a car, and if you have a very close relationship, he pays you the down payment when buying a house.

Go shopping with him and book a luxury store. As long as it's not particularly expensive, you can choose whatever you like. When he goes to buy a watch, he will bring one to you.

Jackie Chan has a sense of mission that I am the eldest brother and I have to take good care of my brothers, and a comparison mentality that if my brothers don’t have good standing, I don’t have good standing!

To be honest, there is really no more open-minded man in the industry than Jackie Chan!

Sammo Hung’s plagiarism – these are all behaviors that can cause people to break up with each other.

It is said that at a certain dinner, Jackie Chan mentioned the outline of the story of "Lion of the Western Regions" to his senior brother Sammo Hung: During the Qing Dynasty, an Ouchi guard was killed by the Indians due to amnesia on his way to the American West to rescue a princess by boat. Rescue, and then start a battle with the Western Cowboys.

Sammo Hung did "Once Upon a Time in the Lion of the West"...

When Jackie Chan found out, he was very angry!

But he was just angry and still laughing and joking back, treating it as a passing thing. He also divided the idea into two and filmed "Who Am I" and "Shanghai Noon" respectively...

Can you imagine the same thing happening to Zhou Xingchi?

In a Kung Fu Football game, Zhou Xingchi scolded Zhang Weijian bloody. No matter how the latter begged for mercy, Zhou Xingchi would never forgive him.

In addition, Shen Liang heard from Xu Zheng that when he went to work in Hong Kong when he was not very popular, Jackie Chan stopped him and invited a group of them to dinner. Jackie Chan had an ice cream truck with all kinds of ice cream drinks. As long as it's his play, the car will be there, and all the actors and extras can eat whatever they want!

Shen Liang also followed suit and set up a coffee cart and burger cart on the set. Anyone who wants to drink coffee or eat burgers can get it for free!

Think about it, you can't make enough money, and you can't spend much money on the crew, only seven figures at most.

Compared to his salary, this amount of money is nothing!

In addition, he also imitates others and is very familiar with his martial arts brothers...

We often eat and drink together...

By the way, I also bought a box of cigarettes and smoked them for them...

Martial arts are stunts, and stunts are fatal...

During the preview of the Olympic Games that year, one of the top dancers in the country broke the wire rope and fell to a high paraplegia... As a stuntman, you are not popular or you offend people or make you jealous, and your life is at stake in every minute.

Liu Yan almost became Lang Kun's fifth wife...the mistress failed to take over!

By the way, there are rumors in the world that Liu Haochun’s aunt...

I don’t know if it’s true or not, it’s just irresponsible writing!

"Do you live broadcast every day?"

"...Live broadcast once or twice a week. Sometimes we need to bring in goods, so we will add one at a moment's notice!"

Shen Liang specially brought Sammo Hung with him during today's live broadcast...

Mainly he wanted to talk about how awesome Sammo Hung was back then!

The person concerned is present and can ask questions at any time...

"Today we are going to talk about Hong Kong movies... First of all, let's give a round of applause to Mr. Sammo Hung who is with me today!"

Sammo Hung waved his hand at the camera, and then asked: "What does 20 million people online mean?"

"That's 20 million people online... Don't worry, I usually have 30 million people online for live broadcasts... It's still early."

"Thirty million for each game?"

"Almost... I'm the number one brother in the live streaming industry!"

"Then how many gifts do you receive for one live broadcast?"

"I don't accept gifts... not really. Basically, I only accept gifts during one live broadcast in three months. Basically, I can collect six to seven million at a time. I will add more myself, collect 10 million, and then donate it..."

Sammo Hung gave a thumbs up: "You are the one!"

"No, I'm not short of money, and I don't have any hobby of spending money...Okay," Shen Liang changed the topic: "I heard that Master Yu Zhanyuan's Hong Kong Chinese Drama Academy is sponsored by Ms. Qian Siying. In addition, there are Send her twins (gold dragon and silver dragon) to his drama school to study...

Since the grandson liked martial arts since he was a child, he was asked to study with his two uncles... Who is this grandson? "

Sammo Hung laughed loudly: "This grandson is me! I was about the same age as my two uncles, and they all called us 'triplets'."

"Ms. Qian Siying is the first-generation martial arts actress in China. In "The Gambler", she was the one who beat Zhou Xingchi so violently!" After a pause, Shen Liang continued: "At that time, in addition to triplets, the only ones who were sent to the Drama Academy , Mr. Yuan Xiaotian also sent his two sons, Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Heping! "

"Yes, the four of them are just going through the motions. I am different. I have to join..."

Sammo Hung said, "When I was a child, I didn't like going to school. I would often fight on the street and stir up trouble." My grandparents took me to see my master (Yu Zhanyuan). I was only nine years old at the time. I didn’t know what Peking Opera was. I just saw children doing somersaults and found it very interesting. For the next week, I kept begging my grandparents and them every day. He sent me to study and finally signed a seven-year contract. ’

"Do you regret it?"

"I still regret it... You have to know that I was not the first one to enter the school. I was the fourth child. There were three others who couldn't endure it as well as me. Their butt skin was not as thick as mine. The other three were all beaten away. So...I became the boss!"

"Is it a real beating?"

"Of course he was beaten!" Sammo Hung smiled: "One time I said something wrong and was slapped... I was so angry that I took a stick. At that time, I swore that I would come back and beat him up after I left the army!"

"Then did you beat him?"

"No... My master is really great. He alone supports more than 80 children in our school... You have to know that children, especially boys, are very naughty, but he is willing to spend time on us. Although he is a bit strict, the disciples have gained a lot. From him, the disciples have learned the spirit of hard work and struggle... And we all speak Mandarin..."

"Your second mentor should be Mr. Han Yingjie, right?"

"Yes!"

"Let me introduce to you, Mr. Han Yingjie is the most popular action director in the Hong Kong film industry after Yuan Xiaotian and before Tang Jia and Liu Jialiang... By the way , he is also the son-in-law of Mr. Yu Zhanyuan. He has used his position to bring many talents to the film industry! "

Sammo Hung nodded: "Yes, Mr. Han Yingjie has a good relationship with King Hu. The two worked together on "Drunken Master", but Run Run Shaw complained that King Hu was too slow in filming and scolded him. Director Hu was so angry that he went to Taiwan, and Han Yingjie followed him. The two worked together on "Dragon Inn", which swept the film industry at the time... Then Director Lo Wei copied "Dragon Gate Golden Sword" and also asked Mr. Han Yingjie to be the martial arts instructor, but halfway through the filming, Mr. Han Yingjie couldn't hold on and felt it was too bad. So they asked me... to take over!"

"Then, you became the youngest action director in Hong Kong?"

"Yes!"

"Later, you followed King Hu... joined Golden Harvest with King Hu?"

"Almost..."

Shen Liang interrupted: "Let me explain, King Hu has a very good relationship with Golden Harvest's boss Zhou Wenhuai, and the name Golden Harvest was given by King Hu!"

"Later, you also worked with Bruce Lee?"

"Yes... but we don't have a deep connection..."

"Is it also because of Mr. Han Yingjie?"

Sammo Hung nodded awkwardly...

Shen Liang explained: "Mr. Han Yingjie is the director of "Fist of Fury" , the martial arts instructor of "Fist of Fury", but Bruce Lee has his own understanding of action. Although the two of them did not have many conflicts, they were definitely not compatible..."

"Later, I started acting, and the leading actor filmed with director Zheng Changhe!" Sammo Hung raised his eyebrows: "Do you know director Zheng Changhe?"

"Of course I know, I did some homework!" Shen Liang then popularized the science: "Director Zheng Changhe is Korean, filming in Hong Kong, and he likes to translate Japanese movies the most. "Breaking the Vow" is the Chinese version of "Snow Princess", and "The Cave Detective" is "The Sleeping Crazy Man"..."

...

Since it is about Sammo Hung, Shen Liang must have done enough homework!

The two talked about a lot of things, including "A Cutting Sword"...

In fact, this movie is also a work that Lo Wei picked up from a leak - the late Qing Dynasty action trend brought about by "Huang Feihong" was booming and lasting for a long time. The stories of Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu, Lu Acai, Huang Qiying, Su Can (Su Qier) and others in the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" have all been made popular.

Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen, Ma Rongzhen, and Shanghai stories in the "Haipai" were also very popular.

The "Ten Great Masters of the Late Qing Dynasty" in the Northern School, such as Wang Wu, Swallow Li San, and Sun Lutang, were also made into movies and became popular for a while.

Luo Wei felt that this was an opportunity and invested a huge sum of money, spending 18 million yuan to go to the mainland to shoot, based on the story of Wang Wu and Tan Sitong, to create the big production "A Sword to Fall in Love".

"A Sword to Fall in Love" is very routine. It was not originally purely original, but Luo Wei's follow-up work, adapted from "Wang Wu" directed by Chang Cheh and starring Chen Kuan-tai in 1973, and even the ending was completely used in the original version.

The adapted version only added Yuan Shikai to make the contradiction more complicated.

Sammo Hung sighed: "This movie lost a lot of money... but I think it's still pretty good!"

"... Mainly because there were too many similar movies released that year, late Qing Dynasty action martial arts movies, eight of which featured Wong Fei-hung, including the orthodox "Once Upon a Time in China 4: The King's Glory", "Once Upon a Time in China: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" starring Jet Li who was abducted by Wong Jing, "Once Upon a Time in China: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" starring Alan Tam, the sequel to the spoof comedy "Once Upon a Time in China: The Legend of Wong Fei-hung", "Once Upon a Time in China: The Legend of Wong Fei-hung", a spin-off work "Once Upon a Time in China: The Legend of Wong Fei-hung", which did not feature Wong Fei-hung at all but only Ghost Leg Seven, "Once Upon a Time in China: Ghost Leg Seven", directed by Zhang Xinyan, another version of Wong Fei-hung "Shaolin Heroes" also called "Once Upon a Time in China: A Man Should Serve His Country", and Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen collaborated on two "Heroes of the Legend of Su Qier" and "Young Huang Feihong: Iron Monkey", which ruined the theme!"

Sammo Hung sighed: "In fact, before filming this movie, I planned to quit the entertainment industry and go to the United States to become a horse trainer.

Lo Wei sent me the script "A Cutting Sword", I liked it very much, agreed immediately, and returned to the mainland to film this film... I personally feel that the reason for the box office failure is that I liked the script too much and did not consider the market issue. "

"I feel that this movie is very left-wing, and it is a very typical traditional left-wing movie idea, that is, it is full of desire for revolution, identifies with revolution, yearns for revolution, identifies with the republic, opposes speculation, opposes coercion, and opposes counter-revolution... The lines in it are "Ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day.", "A single spark can start a prairie fire.", "The country is so beautiful that countless heroes compete to bow down. "…I think if you are willing, we can reorganize the plot and then release it!"

"Are you interested?"

"…Of course I am interested. I am interested in many movies, such as "The Sword of the Falling Swordsman", "Eight Two Gold" and "The Loyalty Group"…"

Okay, the latter two are nonsense. "The Loyalty Group" is the Hong Kong version of "Seven Samurai". How can "Eight Two Gold" be filmed?

The story of Chinese people in New York returning to the countryside in mainland China to visit their relatives…

Who would watch this if we film it now?
