Chapter 489 Helping Jackie Chan Take Off

After entering November, the weather in Hong Kong has gradually turned cooler, but the popularity of "Police Story" among the citizens has not cooled down because of the weather. In fact, many citizens have entered the theater no less than four times, just to see how Jackie Chan is desperate. See how Chen SIR punishes evil and promotes good.

After being silent for many years, Jackie Chan has returned to the view of fans with his positive image as a super cop. "Drunken Master" has accumulated a good number of fans for him, and "Police Story" has made his popularity soar.

When interviewed by reporters about how he feels now, Jackie Chan first smiled, then bit his lips and said, "I'm very happy. Although I'm not a real policeman, I'm still called Chen SIR when I walk on the street. It feels very fulfilling.”

"Is there anything you want to say to the fans who support you?" the reporter asked.

Jackie Chan said without thinking: "Thank you for your support, and please support the Hong Kong police like you support Chen Jiaju."

The reporter joked: "Our ears are callused after hearing this sentence, let's change it to something fresh."

Jackie Chan grinned in embarrassment, yes, in the past 50 days, he has filmed no less than five advertisements for the Hong Kong police.

"I really don't know what to say." Jackie Chan said with a shrug.

"Currently, "Police Story" has been released. The local box office of this film in Hong Kong has reached an unprecedented 1630 million Hong Kong dollars. It is said that your salary in this film is not very high. Can you disclose the specific amount?"

"Haha, don't tell me the number. After all, it's a commercial secret. In fact, the film's success has a lot to do with the script written by Ah Hu. They're all better than me."

Now Jackie Chan is no longer the brat who saw profit and ungrateful, he has learned more from Ah Hu, San Mao, Yuen Biao and others, so when faced with such questions from reporters, he answered them very modestly and also Very ingenious.

"But they may not be as desperate as you, such as jumping from a building more than ten meters high." The reporter still did not give up asking Jackie Chan.

"They are all acting school. I am not good at acting and my image is not good, so I have to work hard." Jackie Chan said with a smile, and then he seemed to be a little emotional: "Actually, the person I want to thank the most is Ah Hu I have been busy with Hong Kong police promotion recently, and I have never had a chance to say thank you to Ahu. If Ahu didn't prepare such a good script for me, if Ahu didn't give me this opportunity to appear on the screen, maybe my thoughts would still be in the A few years ago, thank you Ah Hu for helping me find a new purpose in life.”

"A new life goal?"

Jackie Chan nodded and said: "Yeah, I used to shoot movies just to make money, but after I got more money, some messy ideas came out, and my spiritual world was empty. But this time it's different. Ah Hu told me many times during the filming I said that being a public artist requires a sense of social responsibility, just like after the filming of "Police Story", I saw that many policemen in the streets and alleys have a much better attitude towards everyone. This may be the influence that Ah Hu said, I think This is my sense of responsibility”

These thoughts of Jackie Chan have been around for a long time, as he told reporters, this filming of "Police Story" has taught him a lot of knowledge, especially in the aspect of being a human being. It is not that he has not been successful or confused. So he cherishes this opportunity very much. The reason why he worked so hard during the filming process, and the reason why he gritted his teeth every time he was injured, is because Wang Xiaohu communicated with him a lot before and during the filming, which benefited him a lot.

"Police Story" broke through the 1500 million mark, directly breaking the box office record since the opening of Hong Kong. Outsiders may be envious of these, but Jackie Chan knows that Wang Xiaohu just smiled slightly after hearing the news. Explain what, explain that this is in Ah Hu's expectation, and think it is nothing.

Jackie Chan admires Wang Xiaohu's super psychological quality. All of these have subtly affected his growth. Becoming a filmmaker like Wang Xiaohu has also become Jackie Chan's new life goal, but is it easy?
Jackie Chan didn't know, he only knew that Ahu had worked hard for this for six years, and his current achievements were just the beginning.

"Come on! Work hard!" Jackie Chan cheered himself up in his heart and encouraged himself to move forward. Thinking that his brothers had started their own businesses now, Jackie Chan was very looking forward to it, so he decided to talk to Ah Hu.

Xiehe Film Company is a busy scene, but the fifth floor is extraordinarily quiet, because the people who work here are mainly the senior management of Xiehe and its four major satellite companies.

When Jackie Chan knocked on Wang Xiaohu's office, he happened to see Wang Xiaohu frolicking with his son in his arms.

"A-Long is here?" Wang Xiaohu put his son on his lap, pointed to Jackie Chan and said, "Call Uncle A-Long."

"Along Fufu." Wang Jiaen called out obediently, and Jackie Chan beamed with joy, hugged him from Wang Xiaohu's arms and coaxed him a few words, and then said to Wang Xiaohu: "Why did you bring the child today? Where's A Zhi?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead and smiled wryly: "She is busier than me now, either shopping with Qingxia and Gillian, or talking to Li Bihua about purchasing copyright."

"Hehe." Jackie Chan also smiled wryly, and sat down on the sofa with Wang Jiaen in his arms, thinking about how to speak.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaohu said at this time: "Why do you have time to come over today? The commercials at the police station are all finished?"

"Well, it's all over." Jackie Chan nodded and said, "Ah Hu, I have other things to ask you for today."

"Tell me." Wang Xiaohu hugged his shoulders and looked at Jackie Chan with a smile.But Jackie Chan couldn't summon up the courage to speak at this time, he hesitated for a long time, and finally Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Do you want me to be the witness?"

Jackie Chan's face turned red, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, Gillian and I haven't reached the point of discussing marriage yet."

"What is that for?" Wang Xiaohu laughed again.

It's really interesting to say, even though Wang Xiaohu reminded Jackie Chan not to try to chase Brigitte Lin at the beginning, but this kid was so determined that he secretly asked Brigitte Lin to come out for dinner, Brigitte Lin didn't think much about it and went directly, and those who went with her also With Lin Fengjiao, it turned out that Jackie Chan had no chance to confess his love after eating this meal for more than an hour. Later, when he was filming with Brigitte Lin, he made some indirect inquiries, and it was really like what Wang Xiaohu said. The mind is talking about love, and the whole mind is filming, filming!

After Jackie Chan hit a soft nail, he immediately changed his target. He had a heated fight with Lin Fengjiao recently, and when Wang Xiaohu mentioned the witness, he naturally felt embarrassed.

"I, I have been thinking about a script recently, and I want you to help me as a staff officer." Jackie Chan managed to say this, and found that when he was alone with Wang Xiaohu, he still couldn't take it calmly.

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly became interested, "Take out the script and let me read it."

"The script hasn't been written yet, but I have a general idea." Jackie Chan organized his thoughts and spoke out his script intermittently.

At first Wang Xiaohu thought that Jackie Chan was joking, but when he heard it, his heart burst into joy. When you ask what Jackie Chan is talking about now, it is "Junior Brother Going Out" that he wrote, directed and acted in his previous life.

"Junior Brother Goes Out" is about Chen Kun, the senior brother of the Red Martial Arts Academy who has won the championship for many years. The other party bribed and defeated the fellow apprentice.Master learned of this and expelled Chen Kun from the school. Jackie Chan knew that there must be a conspiracy in the brother's rebellion, so he secretly investigated and exposed the secret of the government's collusion with the gang leader.
In Wang Xiaohu's memory, this movie is not a kung fu comedy of the same style as Sammo Hung's "San De Monk and Chong Rice Six".After Jackie Chan finished speaking, Wang Xiaohu frowned and said: "Aaron, have you ever thought about it, if you shoot immediately now, the box office may not be very satisfactory."

"Why?" Jackie Chan asked puzzled.

"It's very simple. Your image of a policeman has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but your new film returns to the style of the early Republic of China. The audience may not buy it." Wang Xiaohu said after careful consideration.

After Jackie Chan heard it, his heart suddenly turned cold. It turned out that the script he had conceived for a long time had no commercial value, so what else to shoot, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face. "Ahu, you are right. It seems that I still haven't thought it through. It's better not to shoot this script."

But Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "Shoot, why don't you shoot?"

"What's the point of filming without box office?" Jackie Chan said aggrievedly.

Wang Xiaohu stood in front of Jackie Chan from the chair, picked up his son from Jackie Chan's arms, and said with a smile: "Sometimes you can shoot without box office, it depends on your mentality. If you want to earn high box office If you don't, this movie can't surpass "Police Story". If you want to practice your directing ability, it still doesn't hurt to make a film."

"Ahu, you mean let me direct?"

"That's right, didn't you come here today to tell me about this?" Wang Xiaohu laughed out loud, and Wang Jiaen in his arms didn't know what his father was laughing at, so he also grinned.

"Moreover, I will not only let you direct, but also let you set up a separate company like Sanmao and Big Eye."

Jackie Chan stood up from the sofa all of a sudden, looked at Wang Xiaohu with his eyes open, his eyes flashed with excitement, obviously, his heart was moved!On the way here, he has been thinking about what to say to Ah Hu. Although he has the same idea as Sanmao and Big Eye, the reality is that he does not have the ability to manage the company alone. The safest way is to fight for it first. When I get the opportunity to be a director, I will tell Ah Hu to do things alone after I have accumulated a certain amount of experience.

Unexpectedly, Ah Hu not only agreed to let him be the director, but also proposed to let him set up a company, how can you let Jackie Chan calm down!

Jackie Chan squeezed his face hard, until he gritted his teeth in pain, he didn't believe that all this was true.Wang Jiaen pouted and asked, "Along Fufu, do you have the same toothache as Jiaen?"

"Hey, little prince, Fufu, I don't have a toothache, I'm happy!" Jackie Chan said happily.

"Grit your teeth when you're happy? Fufu is so strange." Wang Jiaen frowned in confusion, and then gnashed his teeth like Jackie Chan, but he couldn't understand why he did this when he was happy.

"Ah Hu, thank you, thank you." Jackie Chan was thankful in his heart at this moment, but he only said this simple sentence.

Wang Xiaohu sighed and said, "Brothers don't need to be so polite. Aaron puts your mind right. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As a director for the first time, you have to think comprehensively, and don't care about the so-called box office gains or losses."

With hot eye circles, Jackie nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I remember."

"If you want to set up a company without employees, you can go to Azhi to submit a recruitment list, and she will help you select suitable talents in the company." Wang Xiaohu added: "Also, you can move those people from "Police Story" over there. , be your own team."

"Well, Ahu, I will listen to your arrangement." Jackie Chan was already crying, thinking that when Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, Mai Jia and others founded the company alone, Wang Xiaohu never cared about them as much as today, and Jackie Chan could clearly feel it. Ahu's support for him is not only in terms of personnel and funds, but also comes from Ahu's heart.

"Along Fufu, why are you crying?" Wang Jiaen asked, tilting her head and blinking her big bright eyes.

"Fufu is happy. If the little prince wants to eat, Fufu will take you to buy it now." Jackie Chan said, wiping away tears.

"I want to eat" Wang Jiaen hurriedly looked at Wang Xiaohu, seeing that Wang Xiaohu hadn't spoken, and then boldly said to Jackie Chan: "I want to go to Zichen's mother to eat dessert, but father won't take me there."

"Okay, Fufu will drive you to the Victoria Peak restaurant now, let's go to eat desserts, shall we eat a lot of desserts?"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Jiaen clapped his little hands and applauded. The almost two-year-old child was very happy to hear that he was eating dessert. (Uh, is the little prince sensible too early? Well, we really have to wait until Xiaomi's son is almost two years old to find out. Don't blame it. Don't blame it.)
Jackie Chan happily went to the Victoria Peak Restaurant to eat dessert with his son in his arms, and Wang Xiaohu sat in the office with a lot of emotion.

The last of the Seven Little Fortune brothers is finally going to be independent. Before the golden age of Hong Kong movies kicks off, all of this is developing in the direction of memory. Although there are a few deviations in the process, the general direction is still the same. No change.

Since Jackie Chan wanted to fly, Wang Xiaohu simply helped him to fly even higher. He not only provided him with a good team in the company, but also asked him to choose his own "family class" from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Union.
