Three years old is set to eighty!
Baby Project
Jackie Chan has been debuting for 50 years, starring in more than 100 movies and playing nearly 100 roles. Because the screen image is well maintained, most of the actors are good people, such as the marine police of the "Plan A" series, the police of the "Police Story" series, the "Drunken Fist" series of Huang Feihong, and so on.
Of course, Jackie Chan has also played some bad roles, such as in "Baby Project", he played a flip-flop who is a bad gambling thief.
Although he was gradually influenced by the child in the movie and abandoned evil and followed good, it was much worse than the rogue Asian flying eagle in "Flying Eagle Project".
"Baby Project" is co-produced by Huayi Brothers, Emperor Films and Jackie Chan Emperor Pictures, co-written by Chen Musheng, Jackie Chan and Yuan Jilin, directed by Chen Musheng, and starring Jackie Chan, Gu Tianle, Xu Guanwen and Gao Yuanyuan.
On September 9, 2006, "Baby Project" premiered at the Venice Film Festival worldwide, and on September 29, 2006, it was released nationwide, with a total box office of 160 million in Asia.
"Baby Project" tells a series of hilarious and touching stories that happen after a group of thieves steal a child under the age of one.
Jackie Chan plays the backbone flip-flops of the thief gang, Gu Tianle plays another backbone Bai Datong, and Xu Guanwen plays the boss of the thief gang, the chartered man, and the theft techniques of both of them are taught by him.
They are very skilled, the stealing technology is very high, even the most advanced bank-grade safe can be opened, but they are a group of thieves who do not even let go of hospital medicines, abalone in dry goods stores and fruits in the refrigerators of ordinary houses.
Although the technology is good, every shot has a huge harvest, but they can not save money.
Because of the flip-flops, every bet must be lost, and it also owes usury; but Baidatong likes to bubble girls, and specially picks the super rich second generation of thousands of dollars to bubble, and finally the mortgage Ferraris are dragged away.
Only the chartered public is the old jianghu, does not spend money indiscriminately, carefully locks the money in the refrigerator at home, and suddenly one day, the 3 million coffins that have been painstakingly saved for many years are missing. I don't know if it was stolen by an expert or thrown away by a sessile wife.
So they decided to do a big vote, to steal a child from a Hong Kong super-rich family, the reward was 7 million, and finally the buyer increased to 30 million.
However, in the process of stealing children, there was a traffic accident, the chartered public was detained, and then the transaction was delayed. Flip-flops and Baidatong were waiting for the days when the chartered public came out to trade, carefully raised this child, gradually developed feelings, and began to re-examine their lives.
In the end, after some bitter fighting, the three snatched the child from the villain buyer, handed it back to his biological parents, and turned themselves in to confess their sins.
However, their behavior was recognized by the children's wealthy parents, who decided to wait for them to get out of prison and give them a job suitable for themselves in their own company: a chartered public who is good at unlocking locks as a security guard, the best flip-flops as a bodyguard, and a baidatong who likes sports cars as a driver.
A classic Jackie Chan-esque prodigal son returns to the finale. It not only maintains Jackie Chan's consistent level of action comedy, but also has a certain practical significance.
The cast of "Baby Project" is quite luxurious.
Because there are mainland companies cooperating, there are Chen Baoguo and Gao Yuanyuan, who play the villain buyers and loving nurses who pay to steal children;
In 2005, the newly established Alli group, Lian Kai, Chen Zicong, Yin Ziwei and Wu Yanzu, four members, all cameoed. Lian Kai plays the biological father of the child, Chen Zicong plays the loan shark, Yin Ziwei plays the buyer's son, and Wu Yanzu plays a lady N cannon's cash truck escort.
In addition, Wu Yanzu's girlfriend Lisa S plays a rich second generation that Gu Tianle spends a lot of money pursuing.

The cute baby in the movie, Chinese mixed-race kid named Cai Zhiqiang, was later nominated for the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Newcomer Actor, setting a record for the youngest nominee, when it was only 7 months.
"Baby Project" is actually the first screen cooperation between Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen and Gu Tianle.
In particular, Jackie Chan and Hui Guanwen can be called the cooperation of the century, because they were once the top superstars of the famous Hong Kong film company Jiahe. Unfortunately, their formal cooperation was not completed during the Jiahe period, and the production company of "Baby Project" was already Huayi and The Emperor.
In 1970, Zou Wenhuai left Shaw and co-founded Jiahe Film with He Guanchang and others.
Jiahe, who was regarded as an opponent by the veteran film overlord Shaw at the beginning, was lucky enough to meet Bruce Lee who returned to Hong Kong in 1971, and became the annual box office champion with a "Tangshan Big Brother" and became famous in one battle.
However, only 2 years later, after making 5 films for Jiahe, Bruce Lee died in 1973.
Originally, Bruce Lee first looked for Shaw, and only after being rejected did he get lucky to pick up the leak; in 1974, Jia He was once again lucky to pick up the leak, this time they picked up the first generation of Hong Kong comedy king Hui Guanwen.
After Xu Guanwen took the script of "Ghost Horse Double Star" to talk to Shao about cooperation and was rejected, Jiahe agreed to all the conditions of Xu Guanwen, let him direct independently, let him set up a satellite film company Xu's film, and let him and Jiahe share the income equally.
"Ghost Horse Double Star" became the Hong Kong box office champion in 1974 and broke the box office records of several previous Bruce Lee classics.
After that, Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie cooperated in comedy films such as "Genius and Idiot", "Half a Pound, Eight Two", and "Deed of Sale", each of which was the annual box office champion.
Jiahe has been helped by two box office superstars in a row, surviving the most difficult period of entrepreneurship.
In 1978, the two kung fu comedies "Snake-shaped Executioner" and "Drunken Fist" both entered the top 10 of the annual box office list, and Jackie Chan, who debuted for 7 years, finally became popular.
Therefore, Jiahe took a huge cheque of 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars and successfully poached Jackie Chan from Luowei Film Company to Jiahe.
In 1980, Jackie Chan joined Jiahe for his first self-directed and self-acting kung fu comedy "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse", which achieved a record box office of HK$11.03 million, becoming the first blockbuster in Hong Kong to break the box office of HK$10 million, and Jackie Chan also became the hottest box office superstar in Hong Kong and the top card of the new generation of Jiahe.
For more than twenty years, Jackie Chan has been a brother of Jiahe, and all the big investment films are for Jackie Chan's international big productions.
In the history of Jiahe's development, box office superstars such as Bruce Lee, Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan are inseparable.
Jackie Chan has run the dragon suit in Bruce Lee's movies, and Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan, the two great heroes of Jiahe, have never officially cooperated in the movie.
In 1991, almost all Hong Kong stars starred in the disaster relief comedy "Night Feast of the Giants", with Hui Guanwen and no Jackie Chan;
In 1992, the Chinese New Year comedy "Double Dragon Society", which raised funds for the Hong Kong Directors Association, had Jackie Chan and no Hui Guanwen.
Finally, by the "Baby Plan" in 2006, the two major achievements of Jiahe finally had the first formal screen cooperation.
Unfortunately, the producer of this century cooperation is no longer Jiahe; and Jiahe was acquired 2 years later and entered history.
