Chapter 481 Jackie Chan Injured, Caused Controversy

Even when Wang Xiaohu filmed "Shaking Earth", he only used five photography teams, while "Police Story" used seven teams when it came out, which is a precedent in the industry.

Of course, these seven photography groups cannot be compared with the five groups of "Shaking Earth", which is at the international film level, and the cameras used are also the most advanced in the world.

In the scene shot today, there are a total of four bikes riding through the shantytowns (slums) on the hillside. They are three criminals, two red and one white, and Jackie Chan has a red car.

The scene of crossing is relatively large, so the number of cameras must also be increased. Among them, two photographers have to sit in the passenger seat of the car, showing the effect of breaking through the wooden house from the inside of the car.

Another set of high-quality cameras was set up on the opposite side of the mountain, showing four cars rushing down with a large panoramic shot and blasting scenes.

There is also a group at the bottom of the hillside, which uses the combination of looking up and flicking the camera to capture the moment when the car rushes by.

The other three groups were all in the shanty town, or in the middle, or in the house, or on the roof. have undergone professional training in advance.

The drivers on the car are also stunt performers trained by the Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists Association in recent years. They are all apprentices of Wan Hanfei and Jackie Chan, and each of them has excellent skills.

Except for Jackie Chan who had to be in the car to shoot such a scene, other actors such as Yuan Hua, Xiao Erlang and others just shot a scene of getting on the car, and the rest of the work was done by these speeding stuntmen.

Don't look at the fact that this scene in the movie is less than 2 minutes before and after, but it is very difficult to shoot.After Sammo Hung used the walkie-talkie to confirm that all units were ready, he announced the start-up.

"Action!"

As soon as the words fell, three cars on the hillside rushed down the left, middle, and left directions of the shanty town respectively. The cars on both sides rushed halfway and directly left the track. Obviously, they did not complete the task according to the predetermined plan and stood on the hillside. Sammo Hung, who was next to the camera, frowned when he saw this, and was about to pick up the loudspeaker and shout "CUT", but was stopped by Wang Xiaohu.

"Let's talk after the shooting, Sanmao, remember one thing in the future, you can't shout in the middle of shooting such a life-threatening scene, otherwise it is easy to be dangerous. Even if you shout, the person involved will not be able to hear it due to nervousness, concentration, excitement and other personal factors. .”

"Then" Sammo Hung hesitated to speak, Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile: "You can re-stitch the shots through editing, and let the car rush down where it just went wrong."

"Stitching" interrupted plots is one of the most commonly used techniques by editors and one of the earliest techniques. Sammo Hung, who has been a director for several years, knows this very well, so he doesn't say anything, and concentrates on the set.

"Immediately arrange for the ambulance personnel to go up and look at the two brothers in the car!" Wang Xiaohu instructed Zhang Yuan beside him.

In his previous life, Wang Xiaohu was a stuntman and a stand-in, and he would never see fame or accidents on the set, so he specially requested that at least three ambulances be parked outside the set, and there must be more than two experienced surgeons in the car.

Just now Wang Xiaohu saw that one of the cars that went wrong had rolled over. In this kind of temporary scene, and it was still on a bumpy hillside, the car could easily cause rollover, not to mention Jackie Chan, in order to increase the difficulty of the action. A high slope was added to the line he rushed down by himself, so that the car would have a flying action.

Zhang Yuan, a surgeon, and three ambulance personnel carried a stretcher up the hillside. At this time, the first car had rushed to the middle of the hillside. Wang Jiaxin detonated the explosives at the predetermined position, and flames burst into flames. The simple wooden house Thick smoke also followed, and the scene was very dangerous.

But now is not the time to put out the fire, because Jackie Chan's car also rushed down, breaking through layers of houses three meters away from the first explosion point, and the red car flew up directly after crossing the high slope. The camera at the location quickly captured this scene, and before he could react, the car driven by Jackie Chan fell to the ground with a bang, but it didn't land smoothly as planned, but plunged into the house and could no longer be started.

Wang Xiaohu and others at the foot of the hill also noticed the sudden situation here and rushed up.

"Aaron, Aaron, are you okay?"

Because the momentum of rushing down was too strong, Jackie Chan insisted on not braking all the way, and slammed on the accelerator to increase the speed, so the front cover of the car was lifted directly. The car was seriously deformed due to the violent collision, and the glass of the car had long been shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground .

When Wang Xiaohu, Hong Jinbao and others rushed over, there were several bloody gashes on Jackie Chan's face and arms. I don't know what I'm thinking.

"It seems that I can't die yet." Wang Xiaohu sighed. He didn't want to say anything more at this time. If he didn't help Jackie Chan start this dangerous, desperate, and evil style of action, he might not be injured, but Can't stop him from doing it.

A few years ago, Jackie Chan was very keen on racing cars, especially after "Drunken Master" became famous, the salary he was paid was not only for eating, drinking and having fun, he directly bought a sports car, and often had sex with people in the circle late at night. Racing cars, that scene is far more exciting and dangerous than it is now.

And when Wang Xiaohu saw Jackie Chan's "Police Story" action design proposal, he had already realized the adventurous spirit in Jackie Chan's bones. Will be tinkered with by Jackie Chan.

This is life!Wang Xiaohu knelt down with emotion, tapped Jackie Chan's head and said, "Is it serious?"

"A little bit of dizziness and nausea, but nothing serious." Jackie Chan shook his head vigorously, forced a wry smile at Wang Xiaohu and said, "It's okay, I can still shoot again!"

"Hey! Take it easy. Although making money is important, you also need to spend your life."

After Wang Xiaohu said this, he shook his head and left the set. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He left Wang Xiaohu with too many memories of his previous life. Especially after hearing what Jackie Chan said, he seemed to see a miniature of himself in his previous life. Even if Jackie Chan was the ancestor of stunts in the last memory, he is the ancestor of stunts in this life.

After leaving the set, Wang Xiaohu was not in a good mood, mainly because he was heartbroken and helpless to see the "Jackie Chans" putting their lives to the test.

This is a relatively complicated psychological factor. In fact, Wang Xiaohu knows very well that from the late 70s to the mid-80s, this kind of "self-mutilation" movies flooded the screen, because the audience liked it, and the audience loved watching it. They went to the theater to seek Exciting, if there are not a few action scenes in a movie that make the audience think that "people are going to die", then the box office of this movie will definitely not be popular.

Being famous means paying too much!

Wang Xiaohu did not go home directly, but drove directly to the company. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others were working hard outside. As a boss, he would not be idle as a brother. He first took a few pieces of paper in the office and wrote One pass, and then took those few pieces of paper to the recording studio to find Xia Houmo.

After the Spring Festival, the recording studio of Xiehe Company was relatively busy, because the recording work of the four satellite companies had to be concentrated here for processing. Re-record.This also indirectly increases the working pressure of the recording studio.

"Oh, Brother Hu, why do you have time to visit a small department like ours?" Xia Houmo was surprised immediately after seeing the boss driving in person.

"Come here and walk around, and I will send you a new task." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

"Is there a new task?" Xia Houmo said aggrievedly: "We are too busy here, Brother Hu, you return the task. It seems that this week's vacation is going to be wasted again."

"Hehe." Knowing that this girl was asking for overtime pay in a disguised form again, Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile, "Report the number of overtime workers to your sister Zhi later, and I'll just sign it."

"Hehe, it's Brother Hu who understands us low-level people, and it's the easiest thing to do for Brother Hu." Xia Houmo succeeded in his plan, and immediately flattered Wang Xiaohu.

Xia Houmo did not say this himself. Everyone in the recording studio knows that all the tasks sent by Wang Xiaohu are basically 80% semi-finished products. The lyrics and music are all ready. Modifying and perfecting the work is quite easy, unlike the tasks sent by other companies, there is nothing, and they are completely busy on their own, and sometimes they are not satisfied with the background music they make, and they still don’t say anything when asked .

For this matter, Xia Houmo quarreled frequently with Xu Guanwen, Mai Jia and the others, and several times they quarreled with Wang Xiaohu. The fierce look of the little girl was very cute to Wang Xiaohu, but in the eyes of Xu Guanwen, Mai Jia and others It's a dominatrix, no, it's an aunt!
There used to be a rumor in the four major satellite companies that in Xiehe Company, if you offend anyone, you can't offend Xia Houmo, the aunt, because once you offend the little aunt, she might make some "horrible" background music for you Come on, if you fight against her, you will be miserable, the post-recording cannot be completed, the release time will be delayed, and the box office will lose a lot.
"Brother Hu, what's the task this time?" Xia Houmo was quite obedient in front of Wang Xiaohu, except for occasional jokes, once she entered the working state, this girl would be very serious.

"Here, the theme song of "Police Story", "Tough Guy" sung by Jackie Chan, in Cantonese." Wang Xiaohu explained the task concisely, and then handed over a few pieces of paper: "Work hard, don't be too anxious, they are not in a hurry. "

Xia Houmo loves to hear the words "not keeping up with the schedule" the most, but she subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"The filming stopped and stopped, and I don't know when the filming will end."

Facts have proved that Wang Xiaohu's words are too correct! "Police Story" really does work in stops and stops.

On the first day of filming, Jackie Chan only suffered a slight concussion, plus minor injuries to his face and arms, which did not affect the shooting of the film. This scene was shot three times repeatedly. The staff are all good.

On the second day, Chen Jiaju chased the double-decker bus on foot, grabbed an umbrella from a female citizen, and tried to use the umbrella to climb the double-decker bus. At the same time, this is also a more exciting and dangerous scene in "Police Story".

When Jackie Chan was filming this scene, he wasted three special umbrellas, and the filming took a month!Why?Because this scene was more difficult to shoot than the first action scene, Jackie Chan’s back scratches were not counted during filming, and the 6th to 8th vertebrae were almost displaced, so the filming progress had to be stopped.

"Jackie Chan was seriously injured for filming "Police Story" and is currently receiving emergency treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospital."

"For the sake of sensory stimulation, Jackie Chan almost died. Does Xiehe Company still treat actors as human beings?"

"Wang Xiaohu betrayed the purpose of establishing the dragon and tiger martial arts union back then, and the filming of "Police Story" was stopped on the second day because the lead actor was seriously injured."

"For the sake of the box office, Wang Xiaohu is already desperate!!"

"It's too cruel. Jackie Chan is his brother. Wang Xiaohu is taking revenge for Jackie Chan's betrayal."

The overwhelming negative news in the newspapers not only opposed the citizens, but also shook their heads and sighed.

"Tiger, although I can understand that you are earnestly fulfilling the task I assigned, but now because of the filming of this movie has caused too much controversy, you must give me a reasonable explanation." Sir MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, gave The tone of Wang Xiaohu's phone call was very serious.

"Boy, what are you doing? Why do you have to use this method to make movies? Don't you have enough now?" Run Run Shaw personally went to Wang Xiaohu's home to question him after reading the report. "I remember you used to be very good to the brothers, they are working hard!"

"Old Dou, don't worry, as long as those guys are still alive, they will continue to shoot, and I will support them to the end. As for any disputes during the process, it will be a matter of time, it is inevitable!"

Wang Xiaohu said very calmly, it is unavoidable that media reports will cause controversy, and even bombard himself in an all-round way, because "Police Story" has also undergone such a test when it was released, and the audience is still unable to understand it. To adapt, they must be given a buffer period.

"Old Dou, you will get used to this kind of thing if you see it a lot in the future. In fact, it's really nothing."
