In the entertainment industry, Jackie Chan is recognized as the "big brother".
But in front of Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan has always been the little brother who was bullied.
Hong Jinbao recalled in the show that Jackie Chan was often beaten when he was a child, and he came forward to solve the siege for him.
Jackie Chan himself is also naughty, and after fighting with others, the eldest brother Hong Jinbao helps him clean up the mess.
After becoming famous, the two brought out the two strongest teams in kung fu movies - the Hong family class and the Cheng family class.
From entering the division together, and then to learning to become a teacher. Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao have been fighting and making trouble all their lives, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses.
However, the gap between the Hong family class and the family class led by the two is like a world.
In the eyes of everyone, the people who came out of the Hong family class have all become wrists and horns, but the brothers who follow Jackie Chan are miserable and difficult to come out.
Even before that, some members of the family class accused Jackie Chan of being born and dying with him for half a lifetime, and only gave him 100,000 yuan to send him away, which made Jackie Chan's ruthless and unjust image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a time.
Is this really the case? When you understand Jackie Chan's good intentions, you will be moved by the truth.
First, "Chenghong" contends for hegemony
Jackie Chan called Hong Jinbao a "big brother", that is really not a loss.
Hong Jinbao was born into a family of films.
Grandfather is the director, grandmother is a star.
Because he was naughty since childhood, he was thrown into the pear garden from an early age to learn martial arts with Yu Zhanyuan.
As one of the "Seven Little Blessings", Jackie Chan, the respectful and respectful Hong Jinbao of the seniority is called "Master Brother".
Don't look at Hong Jinbao's physique is not strong enough.
When it comes to fighting, he is definitely a "flexible fat man".
Playing with Bruce Lee, the two did not fight and did not know each other.
Because of his good kung fu, he was caught by Bruce Lee and pulled him into the crew of "Jingwumen".
In opposition to Huang Feihong's descendants, the other party left a sentence "You are the first one to make me feel scared in so many years."
Hong Jinbao thus established his position in the martial arts world.
He didn't have to say anything about kung fu, and he didn't have to say anything when he was a big brother.
When Bruce Lee pulled him into the "Jingwu Gate", he did not forget to pull Jackie Chan to brush his face in it as a stand-in.
After Bruce Lee's death, there was no successor in the martial arts world.
Hong Jinbao set up the "Hong Family Class" with his master and disciple "Seven Little Blessings", determined to lead his disciples to break out of the world.
Who admits it, really let him do it.
Leading a group of brothers in the Hong family class, Hong Jinbao took over Bruce Lee and became the big brother of the action movie.
With a big hand, you can gather half of the stars in the entertainment industry.
He led the New Year movie "Rich Train", which gathered more than 40 popular stars.
When filming began that year, most of the Hong Kong studios were in a state of suspension because the stars had run to shoot "Rich Train".
It can be seen that Hong Jinbao's reputation was so great.
However, as a master and disciple, Jackie Chan has not always been hiding under the wings of his brother Hong Jinbao.
After leaving the division, the two quickly parted ways.
Meeting again, it is already the peak.
Jackie Chan's road to fame has not been smooth.
Under the guidance of the Shi brothers, Jackie Chan first came to a small company as a martial arts instructor.
Big and small ran a lot of dragon sets, and played a lot of supporting roles.
But at that time, there was Bruce Lee in the front and Hong Jinbao in the back, and there was really no day when Jackie Chan came out.
Until the company collapsed, Jackie Chan was completely disappointed in this line and flew to Australia to reunite with his parents.
After a year in Australia, a phone call from Rovi called him back.
Who is Rovi?
The "Jingwumen" that made Bruce Lee popular all over Asia is his work.
Luo Wei had seen Jackie Chan on the set and was deeply impressed by this impulsive silly boy.
Upon learning of his situation, Rovi decided to give him a chance.
But somehow, in the hands of Luo Wei to shoot several movies, Jackie Chan is still tepid.
Even a big coffee like Luo Wei couldn't do anything with him, and Jackie Chan once doubted that he really didn't have the life of a fire.
Just when Jackie Chan was hesitating whether to give up, a turning point appeared.
In 1978, Wu Siyuan asked Jackie Chan to shoot a "Serpentine Executioner".
As a result, everyone knows that this movie not only broke into the top ten of Hong Kong's annual box office, but also exploded into Southeast Asia.
With this work, Jackie Chan became a hit.
The next two "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" and "Drunken Fist" directly made him hot to become the "successor of Bruce Lee".
Seeing that Jackie Chan has potential, the company took advantage of the chase and created several movies for him to target the Hollywood market.
Unfortunately, the response has been modest.
Even if the Hollywood market was not opened, after several trips abroad, Jackie Chan also felt a great humiliation.
He traveled a long way to Hollywood, and when he was interviewed, people only wanted him to kick his legs and perform shows.
Ordinary people can't stand this anger, let alone Jackie Chan, who has a very high heart.
This bad trip to Hollywood made Jackie Chan firm in his determination to do a good job in Hong Kong movies.
Thus, the family class was born.
As the saying goes, "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second." ”
As brothers who grew up together, the relationship between Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao is nothing to say.
But if the Chengjia class and the Hong family class are put together, the two people are "extremely red when the enemy sees each other".
With the rise of Jackie Chan's fame, the Hong Kong martial arts industry has gradually formed a situation of "two feet" between the Chengjia class and the Hong Jiaban class.
The two martial artists do not give in to each other, and they must compete for the first place.
The Chengjia class made a dangerous move, and the Hongjia class immediately had to make a more dangerous move.
Every year at the Academy Awards, the two families wait to see who the best action design award will go to.
The two families have been fighting each other for decades, and from the perspective of achievements, the family class has won more awards.
But from the reputation point of view, the family class is not as good as the Hong family class.
The reason is that without him, all the members of the Hongjia class have soared, but the Chengjia class is only Jackie Chan himself.
Second, the whole staff soars up vs a family is the only one
Earlier, the media published such a report:
"Lu Huiguang, a family member, accused Jackie Chan of being ruthless and unjust, and the dismissal fee was only given 100,000 yuan."
Although Lu Huiguang personally came forward to clarify that "he has given 100,000 pieces many times", after being rendered by the media, no one has paid attention.
At this point, the reputation of the family class plummeted. And this report is just a fuse.
The Hongjia class has cultivated many celebrities, and the family class has only fired one Jackie Chan.
In contrast, everyone has a lot of criticism of Jackie Chan.
"The Chengjia class only praised Jackie Chan, while the Hong family class only praised everyone", such a statement has become more and more intense.
However, this is not out of thin air.
Lin Zhengying of the Hong family class became famous with zombie movies.
Zeng Zhiwei, who came out of the Hong family class, later became a hegemon in the entertainment industry.
Hongjiaban Wuma, the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, has been nominated for the Academy Award many times.
But all the people in the Hong family class, Hong Jinbao gave them enough opportunities and stages to perform.
And these people themselves are also very angry, and they go up to break out of their own piece of the sky.
But what about the family class?
In addition to Jackie Chan, it is difficult to think of anyone else who is a member of the family class.
I can't think of a name, let alone a head.
On one side is a hundred flowers blooming, on the other side is a unique branch.
It is no wonder that everyone generally believes that the family class is not as good as the Hong family class.
But is this really the case? Not necessarily.
At the beginning of the establishment of Hong Jiaban, Hong Jinbao was already the owner of the film company.
The purpose of his recruitment of talents is to train film actors and make movies for himself in the future.
What about the family class?
Jackie Chan's original purpose was not to make a movie for himself, after all, his reputation alone is enough.
The reason why he integrated the family class is to gather Hong Kong's dragon and tiger martial artists and carry forward Hong Kong action movies.
Difficult shots not only require them to design, but sometimes they also need to be personally battled by Dragon and Tiger martial artists.
Therefore, the Hongjia class is to train actors, and the family class is to train martial arts instructors.
The two have different purposes from the beginning, and the subsequent development is certainly different.
So did Jackie Chan really treat the family class badly?
The answer must be no.
Everyone's prejudice against the family class comes largely from the report that Lu Huiguang, a member of the family class, accused Jackie Chan of being ruthless and unjust.
And what are the facts?
Lu Huiguang once said: "After the dissolution of the family class, I was the only one who stayed with the eldest brother. ”
"In the Hong Kong film industry, the family class is the most united."
When it was not disbanded, the monthly salary of the family class was 30,000 yuan.
In addition, the filming subsidy is another calculation, and the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of Jackie Chan have been solved.
There are also gifts, Jackie Chan is a belt of 18,000 when he shoots.
How could such a person turn his face over a mere 100,000 pieces and a brother who was born into death?
Of course, Jackie Chan has not failed to try to bring his brothers from behind the scenes.
He has just established himself in the film industry, and Jiang Rongfa, who is in the family class, has made a two-male protagonist movie "Young Master Long".
However, Jackie Chan's aura is too grand, everyone only noticed Jackie Chan, and did not care about the other person at all.
As long as it is a movie that Jackie Chan participated in producing, he will definitely bring the members of his family class to show his face, but unfortunately one is not red.
Don't skimp on money.
It is also quite generous in terms of resources.
It is precisely because Jackie Chan is good at digging his heart and lungs into the family class that these people are willing to die for his birth.
"In the past, when I made movies, I didn't make movies that weren't dangerous, and I didn't make them if I wasn't dangerous."
It is no exaggeration that anyone in the family class carries this energy.
As long as there is a family class filming on the set, there must be an ambulance parked at the door at any time.
Later, because the number of injuries was too many and too frequent, the hospital directly opened a ward for the family class and dedicated it to the family class.
There were 7 beds neatly arranged in the ward, and at its peak, 7 beds were full of family members.
Unfortunately, such a group of brothers who were born and died eventually disbanded.
However, they really achieved that the gathering was a fire, and the scattering was full of stars.
Third, the first action stunt team
Over the years, although in the Hong Kong film market, Hong Jiaban and Chengjia Ban have fought against each other and refused to give in to each other.
However, if you take a long-term view, the Hongjia class is far inferior to the Chengjia class.
Martial arts movies were once a fairly money-burning genre.
If the shooting is not real, the play scene does not seem to be enjoyable enough.
A maximum of a thousand shots are taken in one shot.
A long shot can shoot for half a month.
Behind these figures, huge financial support is needed.
If you limit your vision to the Hong Kong film market, such a costless shooting will only make people lose everything.
It is also for this reason that the Hongjia class has gradually declined, and the follow-up is weak.
What about the family class?
Many members went to the international market, really as Jackie Chan originally expected, to revitalize martial arts movies.
Dwayne Johnson said: "Zheng Jizong of the Chengjia class is the best action director I have ever seen. ”
Marvel President Kevin Feige deliberately used the "family class" as a selling point when promoting his movie.
Over the years, the success class has achieved many well-known works in the international arena, such as "Twilight", "Wonder Woman", "Ant-Man" and so on.
Everyone was scrambling to get members of the family class to give themselves martial arts instruction.
Because with the family class, it means that the play is already half successful.
"The world's first stunt team", the family class is worthy of the name.
In addition to getting ahead internationally, there is no shortage of family classes in domestic movies today.
Wu Jing said: "In terms of contributions to action movies, Jackie Chan is the first person. ”
To a certain extent, without the full help of the family class, there would be no Wu Jing's achievements today.
Li Zhongzhi, who came out of the Chengjia class, from "Wolf's Teeth" to "Wolf Warrior", has cooperated with Wu Jing in many works.
Huang Weiliang, another member of the family team, is also the action director of "Wolf Warrior 2", which gives Wu Jing great help.
If you have to talk about it, "the Chengjia class only praised Jackie Chan as one, while the Hongjia class was popular with everyone", this sentence is really true to some extent, and the Chengjia class is indeed only famous for Jackie Chan.
But in fact, there is a more apt statement than it:
"Hongjiaban is only Hongjiaban who is popular, but Jackie Chan is popular in Chinese action movies."
Jackie Chan knows better than anyone that a martial arts stand-in is not easy.
His family class is bigger, and it is to fight for breath internationally.
To put it mildly, he still hides a small selfish heart: an umbrella for all the martial arts that are silently paid.
20 years ago, Jackie Chan raised funds for the Hong Kong Action Stuntmen Guild.
20 years later, he set up the "International Training Base for Chengjia Class" to provide the most sophisticated and safest equipment for martial artists.
In addition to the members of their own family formation class, any martial artist can use these venues and equipment for free.
"Do something for action movies."
This sentence runs through Jackie Chan's decades of acting career.
At this time, looking back at the time of "becoming a flood and fighting for hegemony", it has long been brewed into a good story by time.
When filming, they compete with each other, do not give in to each other, and fight for who loses and who wins when they give up their lives.
Once on the set, the sword rattling became a tacit understanding of patting the shoulder and drinking together.
Which is stronger or weaker? The time spent fighting together is the strongest, and the feeling of pity for each other is the strongest.
