Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1593 Preparation time

Not long after receiving Lin Daoqiu's call, Jackie Chan took the family-making class to the United States.

Although he is only the leading actor in this drama, Jackie Chan and Cheng Jiaban are also responsible for the action direction of this drama.

He had talked with Lin Daoqiu about this before, and he also got Lin Daoqiu's consent.

It is not impossible to let someone else act as a martial arts instructor, but Jackie Chan's movies basically focus on him in terms of movements. He may not be very comfortable with the movements choreographed by others, so it is better to do it yourself.

Moreover, Jackie Chan and the married class have grown rapidly over the years, and there will never be any problems if they are on their own. This is why Lin Daoqiu trusts him.

"Mr. Lin..."

After arriving in Hollywood, Jackie Chan went straight to Lin Daoqiu's room as soon as he got off the plane.

Knocking on the door, Lin Daoqiu happened to be revising the script. When he saw Jackie Chan, he smiled and invited him in.

"Coming so soon? I thought you'd be at least two days away."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Jackie Chan to come so soon, it seems that he is really eager to shoot "Rush Hour".

"I don't have a job recently, and it's a waste of time to stay in Xiangjiang, so come here early to see if there is anything I can do to help Mr. Lin."

Jackie Chan actually wanted to get the script as soon as possible, so that he could start designing actions for the play as soon as possible.

"I know you won't be free, so come and sit down. The script is basically finished, but there are some small things that need to be revised. You can take a look first."

Lin Daoqiu asked Jackie Chan to read his revised script first.

After Jackie Chan took over the script, he immediately sat on the sofa and began to read it seriously.

And Lin Daoqiu went back to the study to continue to modify the rest of the script.

When Lin Daoqiu was almost finished, when he came out of the study, he found that Jackie Chan was still sitting there holding the script, looking like he was thinking seriously.

Glancing at the watch in his hand, almost three hours have passed. During this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't hear any noise from the living room. It seems that Jackie Chan is really sitting still.

"Well, any ideas?"

Seeing Jackie Chan who was still in a daze, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to call him back to reality.

Jackie Chan was obviously taken aback when he heard Lin Daoqiu's voice, he quickly put down the script, and then looked at Lin Daoqiu with surprise.

"Mr. Lin, I think the script is very good. There are a lot of things I can do in designing action scenes."

In fact, Jackie Chan has been thinking about how to design the action scenes just now. He doesn't care much about the plot. What he cares most about is whether the action scenes are good or not.

As for the plot, Lin Daoqiu needs to consider it, but Jackie Chan will not have the slightest doubt about Lin Daoqiu in this regard.

Who doesn't know that as long as the script written by Lin Daoqiu will definitely sell well, this is a matter of course.

"Action scenes are the key to "Rush Hour", but during this time, you should also practice your English a little bit, otherwise you will have trouble with the scene, after all, the plot between you and Martin Lawrence is also very important in this film. "

Fighting wits and bickering is the main task of Martin Lawrence in this play. As for the action, it is handed over to Jackie Chan. Only when the two work together can the characteristics of the characters be displayed.

Knowing that Lin Daoqiu was doing it for his own good, Jackie Chan didn't have any objections to it.

"During this time, I will study English seriously. By the way, Mr. Lin, how long will it take to prepare for this drama?"

What Jackie wants to know is how long it will take for "Rush Hour" to enter the official filming stage.

In his opinion, it takes at least three to six months of preparation before entering the shooting stage, because there are many things that need to be prepared in advance.

But what Jackie Chan never expected was that Lin Daoqiu stretched out three fingers.

"Three months? Although the time is a bit tight, I will try my best to do all the work before the shooting starts."

Jackie Chan naturally thought that the preparation time for such a Hollywood blockbuster would not be short, so when Lin Daoqiu stretched out three fingers, he took it for granted that it was three months.

But after Jackie Chan finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu shook his head.

"It's not three months, we only have three days to prepare, and three days later we will enter the shooting stage."

"What? Only three days? No... this..."

Originally, Jackie Chan wanted to say that the time was too short, but this is no longer short. What can be prepared in three days, and this is still in Hollywood, a place he is not familiar with.

"Mr. Lin, can you extend the shooting time to two months, only three days... I... I can't prepare anything."

"You don't need to prepare anything, you just need to say what you want, and someone will help you prepare everything."

Although Jackie Chan is unfamiliar with the place, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything.

With the help of Langmeyer, as long as Jackie Chan wanted something, he could help the other party prepare it. After all, the other party is the president of Universal Pictures, and he can do far more things than they imagined.

Jackie Chan didn't know what to say for a while, he felt that Lin Daoqiu's decision made him too hasty.

In such a short period of three days, Jackie Chan couldn't prepare anything at all, so it's no wonder he was so anxious.

"You don't have to worry. Although this is not Xiangjiang, don't forget that the film industry in the United States is the most developed in the world. As long as you can put forward exact requirements, they will definitely be able to do it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't seem worried at all, it seemed that he and Jackie Chan were in sharp contrast.

Jackie Chan wanted to say something at first, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He had no choice but to nod his head, but he couldn't calm down at all.

During the three days of preparation, Jackie Chan thought that this was simply impossible.

For him now, he can only take one step at a time. As for what will happen then Jackie Chan can't even imagine.

"Mr. Lin, then I'll go back and prepare."

Jackie Chan had no choice but to hurry up and gather the family members together, and then began to discuss the next action design.

"I've already contacted the shooting location of the first scene. It's at a pier. You can take someone there to investigate the scene tomorrow."

Jackie Chan nodded quickly when he heard this, it was good news for him for the time being, at least the matter of finding the venue could be omitted, and the venue should be set up in three days.

"Don't worry, I can shoot a "Home Alone" in a month, and now it is not very difficult to shoot a "Rush Hour" in three months."

Lin Daoqiu patted Jackie Chan's shoulder while talking.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Jackie Chan had no choice but to nod with a wry smile. He really had a hard time with such a boss.
