In the busy and tense entertainment industry, Qian Jiale can be described as unique. His existence is not just as simple as a stuntman, but has been highly appreciated and respected by many industry giants.
Among them, Mr. Jackie Chan, an internationally renowned movie star, unabashedly expressed his reverence for him, saying that he was his only recognized stand-in partner.
Mr. Sammo Hung, who is known as an action master, has also poured all his strength into trying to push this martial arts prodigy with unlimited potential to a higher stage. Sammo Hung's devotion and care for Chin Ka Lok made him his proudest disciple.
Even Mr. Andy Lau, who is respected as the "Four Heavenly Kings", will show deep respect when facing Qian Jiale and give him the respect he deserves. As a stuntman, Qian Jiale has won the admiration and respect of the entire entertainment industry with his excellent skills.
2. Looking back on Qian Jiale's road to success, he finally saw a rainbow after ups and downs
Today's Qian Jiale has become a high-profile martial arts instructor. In the 2016 critically acclaimed police drama "Spicy Police Overlord Flower", we can see his meticulous direction of action scenes.
In the 2017 hit movie "Apostle Walker 2", he also had a wonderful performance.
Looking back on the past, Qian Jiale once reached the peak of his acting career, and won wide acclaim and high popularity for his starring role in "Uncle Zombie", and was known as the "King of Stand-ins".
This is undoubtedly an unprecedented feat for a stuntman.
However, Qian Jiale's brilliance today did not happen overnight. All of this stems from his firm belief in the cause and his never-say-die fighting spirit.
At the beginning of stepping into the entertainment industry, in order to be able to be qualified for the industry's top difficult stand-in roles, Qian Jiale did not hesitate to risk his life and challenge the limit again and again.
Some action scenes are so difficult that even experienced martial artists are intimidated, but Qian Jiale resolutely chooses to meet the difficulties. From completing the thrilling high-altitude fall scene for Yuan Biao, to jumping from a three-story building to breaking through the glass barrier for Jackie Chan without any safety measures, and then almost dying while filming the explosion scene, Qian Jiale used his life to interpret the true meaning of the word "stand-in".
It is this fearless desire to conquer and win the heart of self-determination that makes Qian Jiale desperately work hard in the middle of the night, thus opening a bright road to success!
In the third section, we explore Qian Jiale's grinding growth process and his inspirational struggles in his early years.
The amazing fighting spirit of this accomplished actor stems from his deep and resilient family background. He was born into a large family of six children who lived in very difficult conditions.
However, Qian Jiale, who has shown extraordinary understanding since childhood, has never asked his parents for any extravagant toys or enjoyment, but chooses to work with several brothers and sisters to find a way out of life.
When he was only 15 years old, he resolutely decided to follow in the footsteps of his 16-year-old brother Qian Xiaohao, leave school, and devote himself to the hard training of the Shaw Brothers actor training class. Despite the rigors of the training environment and the scars on their bodies, the brothers knew that in the highly competitive Hong Kong society, they had to do their best to achieve their dreams.
It is this kind of family pressure and hard work environment that has shaped Qian Jiale's firm will to never give up and never give up. In the carefree childhood of their peers, their brothers have long been running around for a living, and they have tasted the ups and downs of life.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this experience that Qian Jiale was able to embark on that extraordinary life path.
In the fourth quarter, we reversed the timeline and returned to the moment when Qian Jiale stepped into the Hung family class, so as to unveil the prelude to his career.
After the strict screening of the Shaw Brothers training class, Qian Jiale has participated in the filming of many film works with his outstanding performance, and has won high praise from Yuan Biao, a senior martial artist in the same crew.
Yuan Biao was well aware of Qian Jiale's studious and persevering qualities, so he enthusiastically introduced him to the Hong Kong martial arts industry at that time - Hung Jiaban. Although many colleagues expressed doubts about this, worried that Qian Jiale would not be able to adapt to the hard training of the Hong family class, he saw it as a rare opportunity to change his fate and resolutely joined the Hong family class.
As people expected, the training environment of the Hong family class is extremely harsh, and his life may be in danger at any time, but at the same time, the salary is good, even if he plays a small role, Qian Jiale can get a generous salary of up to 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth for an ordinary family.
What is even more remarkable is that the class leader Sammo Hung showed extreme favor for the disciple Qian Jiale who had great potential, and immediately decided to take it personally, take him under his command, and put a lot of effort into cultivating him.
Sammo Hung's affection for Qian Jiale can be seen, and he even proudly boasted in private that he would unreservedly teach him everything he has learned unconditionally.
Under Sammo Hung's careful care and recognition, Qian Jiale's confidence in showing his skills in the field of martial arts has continued to grow, and he is full of beautiful visions and expectations for the future.
Fifth, Qian Jiale's fighting spirit and a life-and-death experience
However, what is unexpected is that just when Qian Jiale was full of hope for the future, death quietly approached him. In 1987, while filming the action blockbuster "Oriental Condor" directed by his master Sammo Hung, Qian Jiale was assigned to complete three extremely dangerous blasting scenes.
In the face of such a high-risk action scene, Qian Jiale did not hesitate, and quickly accepted the challenge with a resolute look. As expected, he successfully completed the first two blasting shots, and the live performance was perfect.
However, when the filming of the third blasting scene began, a sudden accident befell him mercilessly - the improper operation of the props crew made the amount of gunpowder in the blasting props seriously exceed the standard, causing Qian Jiale to suffer a powerful shockwave head-on attack from the explosion.
After a brief panic, Qian Jiale instinctively was blown out and fell heavily into the water behind him. Seeing this, the opponent Yuanhua immediately stepped forward to rescue him and tried to pull him out of the water, but accidentally tore the skin of one of Qian Jiale's arms, dripping with blood and miserable.
After emergency treatment, Qian Jiale finally escaped from the ghost gate again. However, that bloody and terrifying scene is still deeply imprinted in his heart, making people feel palpitations.
The reason why Qian Jiale has become a respected top stuntman and martial arts instructor today is not only his outstanding talent and exquisite skills, but also his never-say-die fighting spirit in his career.
In the face of every difficult challenge, he dared to move forward bravely to complete the industry's top high-difficulty stand-in action scenes, and every challenge was hovering on the edge of the ghost gate, but Qian Jiale completely showed the most essential and profound meaning of the word "stand-in" with his fearless spirit of seeing death as home!
His legendary life course reveals that no matter what career path he chooses, as long as he has an inspirational heart that will never give up, he will eventually be able to blossom in the long journey and win the ultimate glory of his ideal career.
The perseverance and fighting spirit shown by Qian Jiale is the endless source of power that drives him step by step to the peak of life. Those difficulties and hardships before becoming famous have forged his outstanding achievements today.
