Jackie Chan is old, I believe this is the law of nature, but to be honest, even if he is almost 67 years old this year, he is still full of vitality, of course, you have to compare his peak state, ask Lian Quite old, can he still eat? Aren't you kidding?
Although Uncle Long's desperate efforts in his early years were commonplace, and every play was inevitably injured, giving us the feeling that his entire body was reassembled, but he not only often escaped from death and turned danger into ruin, but now he is still very energetic and alive, more energetic than many young people.
For post-80s people like Jiangyang Gu winemakers, Hong Kong films have a great impact on me and are very impressed. I'm not a star chaser, and I'm almost too late to be confused, but they gave me so much joy and encouragement when I was a teenager.
There is no deliberate preaching and chicken soup for the soul, but still shows a lot of positive energy.
Let's put aside Uncle Long's personal gossip life, as far as the film contribution is concerned, he can definitely enter the annals of Chinese and even world film history.
So it's well deserved to receive the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. In fact, his contribution to the film does not need any awards to prove it.
I personally think that what Jackie Chan movies show, in the entertainment industry, is absolutely suitable for all ages.
Of course, in recent years, because of his age, although he is still filming basically every year, he obviously cannot compare with his peak, and he can no longer contribute more difficult actions and challenges, which is still worthy of admiration. Please don't compare Jackie Chan with what doesn't pay attention to the words of the national hero, this is a stealing concept.
Jackie Chan is also a business card of China, and he is giving us Chinese long faces. While we worship and respect heroes, it doesn't prevent everyone from liking a positive entertainer.
Although Jackie Chan's movies are not as he said, he does not use a stand-in, but most of the thrilling actions are indeed more accomplished by him, and the injuries are not strange, which is what the Dragon tiger martial artist has been used to. But the really almost deadly movie has to talk about this "Flying Eagle Project" series, and I especially want to talk to you about these two movies that are released six or seven years apart today. It is also one of the few sequel movies that does not end badly. Like the "Plan A" series and the "Police Story" series, it is a must-see masterpiece in Jackie Chan's three major series.
The first part of "Flying Eagle Project" is called "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", if you are a veteran movie enthusiast, you will definitely see the shadow of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" here. Of course, I think maybe this is the beginning of Jackie Chan's ambition to take the international route.
After Jackie Chan got rid of the clichés of the Republic of China boy through "Police Story", Jackie Chan's vision became more and more broad. Big productions have always been his preference. Compared with the Shaw company that still stuck to the set and was not rigid in setting up his own scene, Jiahe gave him more room to expand. The concept of scenes in Jackie Chan's films is no longer limited to the land of Bullets in Hong Kong. His screenplay ideas are also more diverse.
Probably because although Hong Kong also made some tomb robbery or Wesley expedition-style movies that did not have much impact, but Hollywood's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is very exciting, and Jackie Chan also intends to copy this concept, but unlike Guo Xiaosi's behavior, Uncle Long is a person who wants a face, even if he uses its concept, he must complete his own style.
So the first "Brother Dragon" came into being, a character different from the kind of decent person he had played before, who was more like a hired freelancer with extraordinary skills.
Rather than saying that it copied "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it is better to say that it is a rogue image that makes Jackie Chan more dashing, travels through the world, and fills the folk imagination, which is also the continuation of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" director Zeng Zhiwei's "Best Partner" of "New Art City".
Jackie, the Asian flying eagle played by Jackie, is a person with a smart and witty mind, calm judgment, flexible and athletic hands, strong will and humorous humor, kindness and innocence. Leader of the scavenger hunt. In the end, he gave up money just to save his life. A rogue who only recognizes money becomes a hero who is willing to die for the country.
Jackie Chan after the injury in the first part of the picture above, it is difficult not to die.
Such a unique rogue hero image is more three-dimensional in the second "Flying Eagle Project".
Probably when filming the first part, I did not think of using the name of "Flying Eagle Project", I don't know if it was the reason for joining Tan Yonglin, named "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", I really felt that the first part was pit by the name. Jackie Chan stole "God Armed Forces" in the first part also for his ex-girlfriend.
And it also adds a lot of Western religious elements, a proper B-grade film style, but also Hong Kong flavor or Jackie Chan flavor.
The first film, which can be called one of Jackie Chan's most successful film models during the 1980s, traveled the world, played kung fu and took the commercial comedy route, becoming a smooth road for his films to go to the world. Although there are more such models in the later stage, I don't think they are as wonderful as these two.
The film went to Yugoslavia and Eastern European countries to shoot, the investment is quite large, the director invited the ghost horse genius Zeng Zhiwei, who was originally the main general of the new art city, to cross the knife, and the starring friends Tan Yonglin and the newly rising Guan Zhilin and the Spanish beauty Laura Fona, set up a star stove.
Although Jackie Chan is dashing, but this play is an abandoned ex-boyfriend, I think even the spare tire is not as good, Guan Zhilin actually has no feelings for him, like Principal Tan, such a setting is also drunk. Uncle Long, who is frustrated in love, does not match reality.
This play has a lot of points to watch, but the biggest gossip is that it almost killed Jackie Chan, who has always been accustomed to long hair and cut his hair short for filming the film. But during a shooting session on the set, he fell from a tree and fell on a rock and almost died, so he began to grow his hair again, thinking that long hair could bring good luck.
When I watched the tidbits, I only knew that he was injured, where did I know that it was so serious. It is said that at that time the first jump was already good, but he was not satisfied, the second time to shoot another one, this time is not very lucky, after falling down quickly after the ear bleeding, and his father is still around, Jackie Chan really has a great fortune, people say that the great difficulty does not die there must be a blessing, after the injury, he actually decided to jump again, you say such a person, unsuccessful on the spirit of Chengren, he developed who developed.
Interestingly, this was the first in the Flying Eagle Project film series, but because the second part had already been released when it was released in the United States, the film was renamed Project Eagle 2 when it was released in the United States. But it's actually the first one.
The second part was released after a gap of six or seven years, and the pattern was upgraded to a higher level, this time also involving World War II elements, competition for gold and so on.
The first one started very high, but at its peak, Jackie Chan, in order to make the second one more eye-catching, the film crew traveled through three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, spending 115 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly 15 million US dollars, which was the most expensive Hong Kong film at that time.
In fact, this film continues the previous style in the plot, but it is no longer for the girlfriend, the two brothers fight for the wind and jealousy of the difficult brother plot, basically abandoning the small citizen style of Hong Kong, but also more mature and international, but some special action scene design, such as super strong winds make Jackie Chan's entire face distorted and other shots are impressive.
The second film laughs at the two foreign killers and Zheng Yuling, the German beauty Eva Cober replaced the first Spanish beauty Laura Foner, I personally still think the first one is more beautiful.
Unfortunately, this series has only been filmed twice, although 2012 Jackie Chan reluctantly made another "Zodiac" similar to the eagle continuation, but it can no longer reproduce the glory, although it is still worth a look, but after all, it has changed too much. Let the classics be frozen in the light and shadow of the past forever.
Highly recommend these two movies, have not seen the must not miss, have seen the reliving of an absolutely full of memories, today Uncle Dragon to make a movie is not impossible, and then there is a feeling of the eighties and nineties, I am afraid it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, so the memory is so beautiful, do you think?
