You must not have thought of it.
Now it is all over the world, winning China's first Oscar lifetime achievement award.
When he first entered the martial arts profession, his name was Chen Yuanlong, and his dream was to become a martial arts instructor.
Because in his opinion, he was beaten every day as a stand-in.
The martial arts instructor is very imposing.
To make this dream come true.
Jackie Chan followed a celebrity with a high status in the film industry.
He was one of his little followers every day.
It is said that it is a small follower, but in fact, the status is lower, that is, the little brother of the little brother.
Jackie Chan let the eldest brother notice himself.
Every day, he stood where he had to go on set and waited.
Finally, one day, he waited for the opportunity to wipe the car for his eldest brother.
Jackie Chan cherished this opportunity.
He picked out every gap in the car with a toothpick little by little.
The big brother who picked it smiled happily.
In this way, Jackie Chan slowly became a red man around the big brother.
But when he became a martial arts instructor, he found that his life did not advance or retreat.
The two films he participated in failed, and some of them were not even eligible to be released.
So he confessed to follow the master brother Hong Jinbaogan.
But not long after, Bruce Lee died.
Hong Kong action movies began to shrink rapidly with his death.
Hong Jinbao could not feed him anymore, so he let him go back to his Australian parents.
When he returned, he went to work as a cementer and restaurant waiter.
Until Luo Wei's "New Jingwumen" called him.
Although the film remuneration is 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, Jackie Chan still wants to try again.
After going back, the directors felt that the name Chen Yuanlong had bad luck.
Yuan is the same as the circle, and round is the meaning of finishing.
Moreover, Bruce Lee is already dead, and it is not good to call Chen Dalong.
So Luo Wei found Pan Liudai, a very famous writer at that time, and asked her to re-name a few names.
Jackie Chan looked at the name Jackie Chan from the beginning.
But he didn't dare to talk about it.
In the end, a circle was chosen, and Pan Liudai finalized the name for him.
Although he bears Jackie Chan's name, his box office is garbage like a worm.
Therefore, Jackie Chan has not been ridiculed.
He was even attacked by voice actors for looks:
"Big nose, small eyes, look like this is good to call Jackie Chan!"
"What did Rovey think?" How can this man be red, a waste of money! ”
Jackie Chan stood outside the recording studio, crying while listening.
But then he listened more, and he didn't feel able to sleep while listening.
Jackie Chan's awkward situation of being like a worm was only broken in 78 years.
That year, Wu Siyuan borrowed Jackie Chan from Luo Wei to shoot "Snake-like Executioner" and "Drunken Fist".
These two treasure-like humorous kung fu comedies have made Jackie Chan famous.
Luo Wei saw the potential of Jackie Chan and let Jackie Chan write and direct himself to perform "Laughing Fist Strange Moves".
The play unexpectedly topped the Hong Kong box office that year.
A number of film and television companies handed Jackie Chan an olive branch.
Jackie Chan jumped ship to Jiahe, and the film remuneration rose from 3,000 Hong Kong dollars to 4.2 million Hong Kong dollars.
After arriving at Jiahe, Jackie Chan was rushed into Hollywood.
Jiahe invested 60 million US dollars to make Jackie Chan the second international superstar after Xiaolong.
They tailored the movie "Cannonball Flying Car" for Jackie Chan.
However, the effect is not ideal.
What Americans want to see is a Bruce Lee fist-to-flesh fight scene.
But Jackie Chan is witty and mischievous, and his actions are like juggling.
But at this time, Jackie Chan was not aware of the problem.
The domestic applause also made him somewhat intoxicated and lost himself.
Therefore, during the film promotion period, he couldn't stand the foreign media chasing and asking:
"Are you a disciple of Bruce Lee?"
"Can you break a brick with your bare hands?"
"Can you show your effort?"
These questions made Jackie Chan very irritable.
He felt that he was a star who was popular all over Asia and was humiliated to be played as a monkey here.
So he didn't say a few words the whole time.
In the end, people didn't even broadcast it, and directly cut off his feature.
Later, Jackie Chan reflected on the reasons.
I think the problem is that he does not have a representative work abroad.
So he pushed away the cooperation of all internationally renowned directors.
I made a script myself, "Red Fan District".
After the film was released in the United States, it grossed 9.6 million at the box office on its premiere.
It topped the U.S. film box office charts.
Since then, Jackie Chan has officially opened the international door.
Ushered in his time.
02
How much do foreigners worship Jackie Chan?
The 75-year-old mother followed him all over the world.
Tom Cruise said jackie Chan was a genius.
Stallone said he was an absolute master.
Wolverine star Hugh Jackman said that Jackie Chan once gave him a cotton coat printed with dragon characters, and he had to wear it every time he went out, and he wore it for more than a decade.
Amir Khan said that Jackie Chan is the godfather of action movies and is a die-hard fan of Jackie Chan.
Spielberg's first words when he saw Jackie Chan were:
"Can you give me an autograph?" Because my son likes you a lot. ”
Middle East war correspondents said: There is a photo of Jackie Chan in the mobile phone here (in the Middle East), which may be more useful than a knife and pepper water.
Zhang Aijia also said that when he went to Congo to participate in the event, he was unexpectedly surrounded by people.
There were no local guides on the bus, and the people were restless.
Her head went blank and she cried out:
“Jackie Chan! You know? My friend!”
(Jackie Chan!) Do you know each other? My friend! )
After that, the people actually fell silent.
They know that Jackie Chan is not unusual.
Because Jackie Chan has more than 63 million fans on Facebook.
It is one of the 20 most Facebook followers in the world.
Even to the poor volcanic island of only 10,000 people and no wifi.
Local people will also shout out Jackie Chan's name excitedly for the first time.
This influence continues into their work.
In the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", they mentioned Jackie Chan.
In the Hollywood movie "Butterfly Effect 3", they mention Jackie Chan.
In the cartoon "Crayon Novelty", they pay tribute to Jackie Chan's "Plan A".
In "Fire Shadow", they pay tribute to Jackie Chan's most classic drunken fist clip.
Akira Toriyama bluntly said that without Jackie Chan's drunken fist, there would be no "Dragon Ball".
The name used by the turtle immortals to participate in the martial arts conference for the first time was Jackie Chan.
There is even an American animation called The Adventures of Jackie Chan.
In addition to film and television, Jackie Chan's influence has also extended to specific examples.
Dubai local tycoons sent more than ten luxury cars for Jackie Chan to shoot.
The Princess of Dubai did not hesitate to lend Jackie Chan's own pet lion as a prop.
The Australian government also allowed Jackie Chan to film at the Sydney Opera House.
Tom Cruise, who went to borrow the venue last time, was disappointed.
The Ukrainian military lent him defense-class submarines and missiles.
Went to the Netherlands to shoot a movie, and the mayor made a movie in order to keep him.
A whole mansion was sealed off for him.
It also directly used the local army to block the blocks and roads around the building to assist Jackie Chan in filming.
Even special forces were sent by land, sea and air.
Hundreds of soldiers, as well as speedboats, armored vehicles, helicopters, came to fully cooperate.
The French national castle, chantilly ancient castle, which has never been open to the crew, is also fully open for Jackie Chan's "12 Zodiac Signs".
Even the French Pino family, after watching the movie, took back the two animal heads sold at a high price and donated them to the National Museum of China free of charge.
This pile of pieces means that Jackie Chan is a world-class celebrity.
So in 2016, when Jackie Chan won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.
The top actors from all over the world cheered and applauded him from the bottom of their hearts.
Those who delivered the acceptance speech were thrilled to the point of incoherence.
It was as if they were the ones who won the prize.
And just when Jackie Chan was wearing a Tang costume to deliver his acceptance speech.
Stallone was also tapping Mimi on her phone offstage to take pictures.
This is Jackie Chan's card face.
But perhaps only Jackie Chan himself knows.
Every dignity he receives, every face.
Little by little, he fought with his life.
In the years of climbing up, Jackie Chan has never been injured or injured.
When he was serious, he almost died.
03
Jackie Chan has acted in so many action scenes, but he did not expect to almost die in Yugoslavia because of this simple tree jumping action.
When filming "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", there was a scene where two people chased him and he had to jump off a 15-meter tree.
After shooting twice, director Zeng Zhiwei was very satisfied.
But Jackie Chan couldn't, he felt that his landing after the jump was not flexible enough.
Just ask to do it again.
As soon as he jumped on it, the branch broke.
In the process of falling down, Jackie Chan intuitively kept grabbing the trunk and branches.
However, the impact was too great, and he kept grasping and breaking the branches.
Finally he crashed head-on into the stone.
Blood spurted from behind the ears, and everyone present was dumbfounded.
The crew moved him from the mountain down the hill and then to the hospital.
Jackie Chan was lying on the car, the blood in his ears could not be stopped, and his nose began to bleed backwards.
Even the throat was grunting.
Medical conditions in Yugoslavia were rudimentary.
The doctor was a little helpless.
The International Health Organization in Paris learned of the incident.
Immediately invited Mr. Peterson, a well-known brain doctor who happened to be speaking in Yugoslavia, to operate on him.
Jackie Chan was lucky enough to get back a life.
But to this day, he still has a nest in his head that is soft and has no bones.
The ears also hurt when they hear the highs, and the bass is inaudible.
And at the same time, in this play.
He also experienced the closest to death.
He improvised and wanted to use leopards as props.
It may be that the flow of people is large that day, and the environment is relatively depressed and unfamiliar.
So the leopard didn't listen much to its master.
Just there motionless.
Jackie Chan hurried to consult with its owner, perhaps with a relatively large tone.
So the leopard got up directly.
Jackie Chan excitedly pointed at the leopard and said, "That's it! ”
However, it is too late to say that it is too late.
The leopard pounced on his fingers.
Fortunately, its owner pulled the chain in time.
After this time, as long as Jackie Chan shouts Action.
The leopard pounced on him from a great distance.
Because the risk factor is too large, everyone dares not shoot.
After this incident, Jackie Chan's father, He Guanchang, was also the boss of Jiahe Company.
Just made a rule on Jackie Chan:
Jackie Chan can't play the person who will die in the script.
But with the death of He Guanchang, this rule was also broken by Jackie Chan himself.
Don't die, it has always been jackie Chan's label.
At that time, he was shocked in "Plan A", and no one has surpassed it so far.
The scene of jumping off the bell tower begins with sandbags of the same weight as him.
Sandbags were thrown from the bell tower, after falling to the ground after passing a two-tiered cloth canopy.
It cracked in an instant, and grains of sand flew all over the ground.
The staff present were dumbfounded.
But Jackie Chan still insisted on going up.
The crew could only tighten the cloth canopy.
But Jackie Chan was a little embarrassed in hindsight.
He was dragged out and pulled in.
Every day I find a different excuse to escape the shooting.
For example, today's light is not good, tomorrow's weather is not good, the day after tomorrow's dusk is not good...
After 6 days of repeating this, Hong Jinbao came.
Splitting his head and covering his face, he scolded him:
"Do you really shoot?" I'll shoot it for you! ”
Hong Jinbao grabbed the machine and began.
Jackie Chan inked on it 3 times.
Finally, because of the pity film, a rush of blood came up.
Grabbing the pointer, he threw himself out.
The first layer of cloth canopy tore apart in an instant.
Then his neck was broken heavily as it landed.
He applied ice for a while after.
Feeling that the impact was not enough, I took the initiative to ask for a reshoot.
The second time, the same process fell down.
He didn't have time to cry out in pain, and he thought of hurrying up and saying the dialogue, otherwise he would really fall in vain.
This scene was not easy to come by, in order to prove that he did not use a stand-in.
Jackie Chan also specially put the shooting tidbits at the end of the film.
Many viewers were fiercely impressed, bluntly saying that the tidbits were better than the movies.
This jump made him famous in the United States.
He was nicknamed "Superman".
It has been paid tribute to by multiple films at the same time.
But he said he didn't want to be a hero.
He did this just to be worthy of the name "Jackie Chan".
Nowadays, although the Jackie Chan-style action movies have declined.
But Jackie Chan will be an eternal legend.
