Interview with Jackie Chan： Teaching filmmakers to understand the rules, Jaycee Chan cannot be the successor

　　　 Movie Network News(Photo/Cannes Film Festival News Team) The biggest selling point of "Zodiac" is that this is Jackie Chan’s last action blockbuster. As the most famous Chinese star in the world, Jackie Chan has always been called "big brother". If he doesn’t film, who will we see in the future? The claim that Jaycee Chan is the successor has been rejected. Fortunately, Jackie Chan said with a smile that he is not retired, but he can no longer shoot intense action scenes. It is better to shoot musicals in the future.

I want to teach filmmakers the rules, big-name actors are too troublesome

　　　 Yao Xingtong, Zhang Lanxin, and others are absolute newcomers in the starring roles of "Zodiac". Although Quan Xiangyou, Liu Chengjun, and Liao Fan are all familiar to the audience, they are not big-name stars. Although Jackie Chan’s action movies can guarantee the box office as long as they have his golden signature, the reason why he doesn’t use big-name actors is because they don’t know the rules.

　　　 Movie Network: Does Jackie Chan have to do everything himself as a director?

　　　 Zhang Lanxin: Big brother is not only a director, but also a prop, a costume, a makeup, a Weiya teacher, a Lavia, and a martial arts director. Big brother can do everything. The funniest side of the scene is that big brother will take out the trash, sweep the floor, and shout "ACTION" with a broom in his hand. After I made a move, I came down to see big brother still holding a broom in his hand.

　　　 Jackie Chan: Because a clean working environment is the most important thing.

　　　 Movie Network: Is this your habit?

　　　 Jackie Chan: Habit, you have to take the lead and set a good example to influence all the staff, what is called a movie scene, what is called a dinner scene, is to be separated, no rules will be very messy, I talk about preparation, start, stop, everyone will listen, but now many people have no rules, I am filming is even eating, queuing up to get food, everyone has their own seat, the family has family law, state-owned national rules, this is my family law, otherwise it will always give people the feeling that the filmmaker is very unruly, locusts passed by, atomic bombs have been blown up, filmmakers have filmed (the place), I don’t want to give people this feeling, I taught them the rules in this play, after teaching these people I used to shoot other plays, two people quit their jobs Come back and tell me, "Big brother, I only know how good you are now." In other scenes, they have to be graded, and no one can eat or eat a banana, so why do people have to be graded? I am the director on the set, you have to respect me, and everyone is friends when they eat alone.

　　　 Movie Network: So it is for this reason that I did not find some big-name actors, and most of them hired newcomers?

　　　 Jackie Chan: Yes, I once thought about finding some big-name actors, at least I don’t have to worry about whether he can act or not, but I can’t guarantee that I can complete the play within 3 months. If I sign some big-name actors, I will be paid millions, shoot for 4 months, and work only 8 hours a day. It is stipulated that I will bring a few assistants and what suite to live in. When I can’t finish shooting, I have to make up money and ask them to do publicity. I have heard many other directors tell me these things. This is a burden for me. You see "Zodiac", I have been shooting for a year and a half, and all the investment is under pressure here. 300 million yuan, all real money, can be verified.

　　　 Movie Network: Where did the 300 million dollars go?

　　　 Jackie Chan: I haven’t taken the money yet, all invested in it, how much money does it cost to go to eight countries alone, air tickets, accommodation add up to at least hundreds of thousands, and pocket money. The whole crew has more than 300 people. In fact, smart people are in Huairou. Take a picture for 10 days. After shooting, why do I want to stay on the islands of the Pacific Ocean for 10 days to shoot 4 scenes, and go to Australia? How expensive, shoot 10 days of play and 5 days of rain, one day really made me anxious, 1 day is 200,000 dollars, but there is no way.

　　　 Movie Network: Don’t you worry about the box office by investing 300 million?

　　　 Jackie Chan: Of course I have the confidence to earn it back.

　　　 Movie Network: There should be a lot of injuries, right?

　　　 Jackie Chan: Too many, inertia dislocated, injured, after I fell to the ground, everyone stopped talking and frowned. I said I’m not dead, and everyone laughed, so why do I say this is my last action movie? How long can I move? I can’t say that one day I will be in a wheelchair and then shoot again. I will shoot some action movies that don’t have such a big action and won’t hurt myself.
