After Jackie Chan Jet Li And zhen Zidan, Chinese kung fu films can only break into the US market (Yue Song)3

After learning about Yue Song through special channels, he filmed the whereabouts of the super bodyguard.

Boys are born with the dream of heroes in their bones, just like that sperm, because they dare to take risks and fight, ride the wind and waves, and insist on going their own way, they have become the one in the billion. Man is so brave in the beginning, so I firmly believe that when I become flesh and blood between heaven and earth, I should be more brave, and life should be a fearless adventure, and a battle that never stops. From childhood to adulthood, I always had a force in my body, a force that wanted to subvert everything and destroy everything. I don't know where my strength comes from? But I would like to believe that it came from that sperm... The energy grew stronger and stronger, and finally he grew into something else with life. After watching a TV series, I learned that one of his names was Sun Wukong.

As a post-80s child who grew up watching "Journey to the West", that color-deficient childhood, Sun Wukong is the hero in the hearts of all our boys, his story of being born to nurture, fight in the sky, and make a big fuss in the sky for the first time injected a sample version of independence, rebellion and battle into my childhood. I don't like to watch, every time I go to "Journey to the West" I jump off the stage, and I start to think that it is because Sun Wukong is not so powerful on the way to learn the scriptures, and no one can beat it..... It wasn't until many years later that I saw Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" in the cinema, and realized that when I was a child, I didn't like to watch the story behind Journey to the West because after making a big fuss in the sky, Sun Wukong was already dead, and what Xitian learned was only his walking dead, of course, you can't expect the walking dead to have much combat power. How did Monkey King die? This question is like Bruce Lee in "Jingwumen" repeatedly asking in front of the spirit, "How did the master die?" "There is a magical echo. What is the truth? The truth is something that everyone knows but doesn't want to say. What weighs on Sun Wukong is not the Five Finger Mountain, it is the moral ethics, and Sun Wukong is played to death by the rules of the game. How big the rivers and lakes are, how deep the sea is, and even how many five finger mountains are, no one can know, what we can know is that "Sun Wukong" cannot "die" under the Five Finger Mountain, because death is eternal, the spirit and aura will be infinitely magnified, this is not what rulai wants, so "Sun Wukong" must still be alive, must be the Western Heavens to learn the scriptures, this is the process, the flow of life... Just as many intellectuals' highlight moments can only be left in the classroom and at the wine table, Sun Wukong can only leave the highlight of his life in the sky. The path of taking the scriptures is the school where "Sun Wukong" entered the world, and occasionally the soul returns to the body and the return of nature is destroyed by the soul that is immediately hit.... This repeated self-destruction is the whole of his life! Just like at the end of the movie, the colors are so warm, the light is so soft, and the music is permeated with sadness... Since then, there is no more Qi Tian Dasheng in the world, only one Sun Monkey who obediently carries a tight curse.....

In 2016, two things happened in my life, I had a serious illness and started insomnia! Since I went to the Sino-Russian border in 2013 to shoot "The Wind and Snow Warrior", my body seems to have completely entered the open and hanging mode, and I have been disease-free for nearly three years. Until last year I fell ill again, with a high fever for three days and just then another fever. I was burned in the dark, and my body was like being pressed against a mountain.... After recovering from the disease, the body felt like it was restarted, and then I began to lose sleep, and insomnia made me feel that the darkness was always very long. This was actually quite serious for me, I had never experienced the pain of insomnia before, and no matter how big things happened, I could always fall asleep upside down. People with aggressive nature are pretentious, they never worry about their future, and they are convinced that all sufferings are to refine themselves to be greater, just like Sun Wukong must suffer in the Dan furnace of Taishang Laojun in order to have a golden eye of fire and recognize people and demons. These are foreplays of a great character. This time was different, this time I began to hate foreplay, foreplay is too long, too violent, every night of insomnia I look up and ask: "What kind of person do you want me to be?" How long will I have to be hardened? Am I not strong enough? Isn't it enough to pay? It's all because of a movie called Super Bodyguard. Super Bodyguard is a film that has a lot of shortcomings, but it gives me a lot of confidence. As early as the preparatory period, I knew that with my own ability and resources, I could not make a kung fu blockbuster that was great in all aspects, and I could not be greedy and needed to make trade-offs. In the end, I decided to use 80% of my energy resources to do the action first, and I knew that only in terms of the action would prove that I was unique in the world, and it would be most meaningful to me. The film has gone through 9981 difficulties and has been completed with difficulty. I pride myself on being an authority on kung fu films, and I know the film's gold content in terms of action. The summer program is suitable for this type of film, and there is a potential market. I used to do things without expecting extra rewards, but this time was different, I gritted my teeth and ran roadshows, didn't sleep to make materials, and drove everyone on the team crazy. Because I want to give some reward to all the people who stand up for me and tell them that their vision is fine. But a week before the movie came out, I felt as if I had made some wrong choice, but by this time the wind was blowing and it was too late. When I learned that there was only a two-point schedule on the first day, I was completely dumbfounded, because the expectation of the distribution company was more than ten percent. At that moment, I suddenly had the idea of killing, clenched my fists, and had red eyes all night, but in the end I didn't know who to kill? In the end, I chose to believe in my friends, and I chose to believe that no one maliciously deceived, but the boat was small and the waves were large, the rivers and lakes were deep, and everyone was incompetent, and when I calmed down, I felt that the person who should be killed the most was myself. Three years, how desperate and difficult, how much hard work, how many people helped each other, and finally I gave everyone such a result, I suddenly felt like a sinner, sorry for many people, of course, the most sorry is TMD myself. Fame and fortune, with red top white. Falling on the heel, unable to let anyone see the wound, I deleted many people's phone WeChat in one go, afraid that when I was vulnerable, I would ask them for help, I did not want to give myself a chance, any opportunity to humiliate myself. I am an ab-type water bottle, this kind of person is extremely proud and self-confident and intelligent, and high-index madness and rationality coexist. During that time, I chose the rational mode, always telling myself that I must hold my head high, and since I chose to make a big fuss in the sky, I must be able to hold on to the Five Finger Mountain, not only to resist, but also to resist the wind and clouds. Only good, is Yue Song! So I try to keep my original self, the only difference is: before, I always liked to tell people how hard it was to make kung fu movies, and everyone liked to listen, because talking about giving was a kind of show-off. After that, many people came to me to talk about "I really admire you for making movies so hard...", and I always said lightly: "It is easy for no one to make movies". Showing off suffering is the privilege of the successful, and the loser can only maintain the last dignity if he dilutes the effort. Late one night, I received a weChat message from a senior investor" "Yue Song, winning and losing is normal, we believe in you, come again", and I replied hypocritically and morally after thinking about it for half a day: "Thank you, I will summarize the lesson first." When I was done, I realized that I had instigated, that I had given up the fight, at least in that moment. I looked at myself in the mirror like the monkey with the tight hoop on....

There are always people who say that time can heal everything, but I only believe that time will only numb everything, and I know that I am crushed under the Five Finger Mountain, and this Five Finger Mountain is not a movie, a failure, but a kind of "self". "Nature" and "self" are like Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque, 99% the same, 1% different. Sometimes we can't tell the difference because it's really too hard to tell. Sometimes you think you're still Sun Wukong, but you're already a six-eared macaque. Sometimes you think that you are an independent and outstanding warrior, but in fact, you just want to use "independent thinking and outstanding" to maintain your fragile dignity or to carry out image packaging. And my original state of gritting my teeth to prove my worth seemed quite inspiring, but now I look back and feel quite pitiful. "Desire that is too strong will make people invincible, and it will also make people fall into the abyss." Philosophical speculation like this seems to make a lot of sense, but how should one choose? ..... After half a year of contemplation, I decided.... Fuck it.... I don't have the ability to distinguish between the two and grasp the scale, and the natural self can only be! I do want to try to move forward in the rules, but unfortunately there has never been a fair referee in this world, and it seems that "success or failure" has become the only referee. In the same way, you become a "natural talent", and if you lose, you are "conceited", and no one seems to care about the difference between the two except for those who display words and summarize history. Just like no one cares whether Sun Wukong killed the six-eared macaque in "Journey to the West", or the six-eared macaque killed Sun Wukong, who arrived in the Western Heavens? The important thing is to finish the scriptures and complete the process of life. But I care, people who really love themselves care, people who are born proud care. So, I decided not to be the monkey with the tight hoop spell on.....

There are always some people who want to be the same, and the world has rules. But there are always people who want to be different, and the world is a little interesting. I want to write about a few different people, because they directly stimulated me to write this article, Jackie Chan, Zhou Xingchi, Han Han, three Filmmakers of the Spring Festival file. Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow are both legends in the Chinese film industry, symbols of the Spirit of Hong Kong, one represents hard work, one represents innovation! The two have a contrasting temperament and a contrast in the world, but there are some commonalities. They are all filmmakers who can put themselves above the movie, the individual symbol is greater than the movie, the movie is almost in the service of personal brand, and they all use a personal performance mode to open and hang a movie. There are only these two in the entire Hong Kong film industry, and there are not many in the world. The most important thing is that they are still the hegemons of the Chinese film industry.

First of all, let's talk about Jackie Chan, this superstar who can no longer be legendary, the idol of my youth, I have mixed feelings for him. Too much love means too much demand, always hoping that every movie he has now is as good as it once was, but no one can do anything in the face of time. The biggest feeling of watching "Kung Fu Yoga" is that you are moved, and you find that it is not only the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, but also Jackie Chan who wants to live for another 500 years. What you see on the screen is not an actor, but a fighter against time. The counterattack of the movie box office also proves that the audience's favorite Jackie Chan is still the former Jackie Chan. There are many good actors all over the world, and there is only one Jackie Chan. The proud son of the teenager who achieved ambition in Heaven exploded in Asia at the age of 24 with "Drunken Fist", and at the age of 26, he self-directed and self-acted in "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" to break the record, and thus began the era of Jackie Chan's film control for nearly 20 years, during which Jackie Chan had the absolute sovereignty of his own film, sacred and inviolable. In the 80s and 90s, he once thought that only he could make a good Jackie Chan movie in the world and make the best Jackie Chan movies, of course, he thought it was right, because that decade of Jackie Chan frequently surprised the world. The creativity is bursting, and the masterpieces are gathered in such milestone masterpieces as "A Plan" and "Police Story", which are produced in this period. In the 1990s, Jackie Chan was once a bit lackluster in his creation, and Jiahe hoped that Jackie Chan would maintain a high production, and he was also trying to quietly change the tradition of Jackie Chan's films without cycles and budget caps. During this time, Jackie Chan's salary began to rise quietly, followed by Jackie Chan's film began to cooperate with other directors, one of whom helped Jackie Chan the most - Tang Jili. Director Tang Jili was discovered by the bullish character He Guanchang and sent him to Jackie Chan. At this time, Jackie Chan was already the aura of the Nine-Five-Year Dignity, and the only person who could let him try to divide power was He Guanchang, the father and boss. Unlike most directors who have been reduced to "assistant directors", this Tang Jili director who has both literature and martial arts, is extremely soft on the outside and extremely rigid on the inside, knows Jackie Chan very well, and Jackie Chan does not want good, but a unique good that only belongs to Jackie Chan. In 1992, "Super Cop" unexpectedly exploded, and in 1994, "Red Fan District" opened the North American market. The latter two have worked together many times intermittently, and "Kung Fu Yoga" is the eighth cooperation. Until 2012's Zodiac, Jackie Chan still had a great deal of control over Jackie Chan movies. After that, Jackie Chan movies began to transform plots and literary dramas, although the posters will also be marked with the logo of "Jackie Chan Movies", but they are already in consideration of publicity and The Jackie Chan brand. And Jackie Chan, who has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, also knows very well in his heart that I have not fallen for 40 years, and I am already a legend in the legend. Maybe after a long time in the world of power, who can't accept the collapse. Big Brother can only rely on his love of movies to continue to fight against time.... Jackie Chan's story is rise, peak, transformation, peak again, re-transformation, return period, slow transformation.... Maybe one day it will come to an end... But at least now he's still fighting, not wearing the tight curse of that time...

Zhou Xingchi's story is Jackie Chan's reverse..... Both of them have experienced a lot of heartache in their debut, and the secular suppression has caused psychological damage to the two, but from the performance after success, it has a greater impact on Xingye. Jackie Chan debuted at least his own circle of brothers and brothers, a martial art. Although the image acting skills are not recognized, they debuted in the best era of kung fu films, 21-year-old bento as the male protagonist, there is a dry father Luo Weili, although he failed to take the position, but at least he had a chance. And Zhou Xingchi's debut was difficult from the beginning, he was not admitted to the acting class, ran a dragon set, and was a host until he finally counterattacked in the film circle and got ahead. Stephen Chow's success is a counterattack of intelligence, he is more stoic, more focused, and smarter than many people, even if his films later became the guarantee of the box office, with a double week. But there are still too many people who can't watch his movies, the awards are insulated, the industry is criticized, which is of course the growth law of new things. But Stephen Chow is a smart man, he understands that no one will be against the market, what he has to do is to be patient and maintain success. He knew that no one could guarantee his permanent success, only himself. So he decided to dominate his own film, this stage began in the mid-90s, although he was already "Emperor Taishang" before, but Star Ye's idol was Bruce Lee, so he wanted the ultimate and perfect. After he completely dominated the sovereignty of the film, he made more Chow Sing Chi style films such as "Domestic Ling Ling Lacquer", "God OfEater", and "Great Inner Secret Agent". In 1998, Jackie Chan filmed "Peak Moment" to completely defend the status of international superstars, and Zhou Xingchi filmed his own "King of Comedy" as a stage ending of life. Because he needs to rethink what movies mean to him, at the same time, Star Ye begins to low-key speculation, just like he makes movies, he needs to use his intellect to accumulate wealth, because he understands that there is enough wealth to be free. So as not to be bound by the "movie star". Later, "Shaolin Soccer" in 2001 and "Kung Fu" in 2003 began to transform into action comedies, showing Chow's willingness to open up the international market, especially the latter did achieve a certain degree of success overseas. After the news of Zhou's frequent cooperation with Hollywood, and finally ending in miscarriage, this series of facts seems to prove that Zhou has made up his mind to dominate his own movies 100%! He understands that only he can make the best Stephen Chow movies, just like Jackie Chan 20 years ago. But Jackie Chan dominated his films in the early and middle schools of his acting career, while Stephen Chow was almost at the end of his acting career. Unlike Jackie Chan, Zhou Xingchi seems to have always been a loner, perhaps because no one looked up to him from the beginning, and when he could choose, he still chose to believe in himself. Jiahe is somewhat doting on Jackie Chan, while Zhou Xingchi seems to have never been loved. But he has always been doted on by the market and the audience. In recent years, the popularity of the mainland film market has given Xingye the soil to build his own golden brand again, and Zhou Xingchi, who has retreated behind the scenes, has made him more and more mysterious and rare in the hearts of film fans. The mermaid's box office myth made him realize the true gold content of the three words "Stephen Chow", and he decided to speed up a little, hoping to play big chess. Just as in the production tidbits of Journey to the West, Wu Yifan and Dapeng both felt that he was like Sun Wukong, and Zhou Xingchi himself said: He is Rulai. People who don't like to be guessed through must like to give you unsuspecting answers, but sometimes the unsuspecting answers are often the most real. In this move, he really is Rulai! Zhou Xingchi likes to say the most: Time is running out, I think he is serious, because he is a believer in Bruce Lee, harsh on perfection, harsh on himself, and the pursuit of higher mountains is the creed in their hearts. He has not yet reached the heights he is satisfied with... Just like the name of his mansion "Sky is higher", the line in the movie "You are a great man".... He may have higher demands on himself. He doesn't want to wear any of the tight curses that the world has given him, and he is still riding in his own world.....

Han Han's biggest impression of me was a video of him being besieged on a CCTV talk show many years ago, and he was extremely impressed. At that time, Han Han was not as calm, humorous and mature as he is today. Throughout the interview he confronted with a cold face. What made people even more impressed was that the sentient beings who besieged him were all the faces of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and they all seemed to have the truth. Han Han is a fighter, and fighters are trampled out by thousands of feet. Both of his films are highly watchable and have a distinct personal style. As a filmmaker who crosses over food, Han Han has been so successful that he can't succeed anymore. I think it is because Han Han, who debuted at the age of 17, has long understood all the rules of the game, how many people step on it is not important, and winning in the end is the most important. At this time, Han Han already knew how to win. When you continue to break the rules and continue to achieve unexpected successes in the eyes of others, there are always thousands of feet, and thousands of swords follow closely. That's the price of not wearing a tight hoop....

I believe that everyone has a Sun Wukong living in their body, but the difference is that some Sun Wukong is still in the stone and has never been born. Some have learned their skills and have not made a big fuss about the sky. Some were pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, some had just put on the tight hoop spell, and some had taken the Scriptures from the Western Heavens..... I don't know what stage you are at with every friend who reads this, but I want you to know that you have come from an extraordinary background, and if you are ordinary, it is only because you chose to be ordinary. Everyone has the right to choose whether to wear a tight hoop or not... Not wearing it does not mean being noble, and wearing it does not mean that life loses its value. Women of fame and fortune are not drugs, and there is no reason to hate them. The high places are not cold, the high places are full of targets, tired, everyone has the right to come down for warmth. None of us should look up to our future selves.... The monkey who wears the tight hoop is not necessarily or worthy of your respect. Jackie Chan, Zhou Xingchi, Han Han, these game breakers who do not wear tight hoops are sure to deserve your respect....

After writing this article, my 2016 is over.... Thanks to everyone who helped Super Bodyguard in 2016. For 2017, I have nothing to ask for. The only requirement is to do some foreplay: ,,, if there is any, not afraid of long, not afraid of violence. Remember a rogue scientist saying that the longer the foreplay, the longer the climax. But I am willing to believe the truth he says. Tribute to idol Yue Song.
