Millennium director

Tuning Tuanlong is really a difficult thing.

When filming Rush Hour 3, Wu Yuan didn't think Cheng Long's acting skills were bad.

Because this movie is either fighting or on the way to fight, most of Cheng Long's scenes are just bickering with his new partner played by Will Smith.

And use his mouth to make various speculations about the mysterious organization Kings Secret Service.

It can be said that the movie Rush Hour 3 continues the consistent style of Cheng Long's movies, which is humorous jokes + funny and handsome fighting scenes.

Wu Yuan felt very relaxed when filming this movie.

A professional martial arts instructor was responsible for the martial arts movements, and literary drama is Cheng Long's best genre. Almost most of the scenes were shot over and over again.

On the contrary, Will Smith, a black Hollywood superstar, is not very adaptable to traditional-style movies. Even if his acting skills are very good, he still spends a lot of time getting used to it, and there is no shortage of NG.

But when it comes to Pirates of the Caribbean 3, it's Cheng Long who has the problem.

It’s no wonder that later on he couldn’t make it. He always wanted to change but couldn’t. Not only because his martial arts star persona was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also because his literary and drama performances really had no merit.

To put it nicely, he has a Cheng Long flavor in everything he plays.

To put it harshly, it means that no matter what role he plays, he always looks the same and is himself.

It is really difficult for him to play a man with snake-like eyes and full of conspiracy.

So what can be done? Wu Yuan chose the actors himself, and he had to continue filming with tears in his eyes.

In desperation, he could only teach me step by step and shoot one shot after another.

For a scene that only lasted less than ten minutes, Wu Yuan had to shoot it for five or six days before finishing it.

Under his hard training, Cheng Long finally produced a performance that satisfied Wu Yuan.

Not to mention how good the acting was, at least it was considered to be a passing grade and no drama.

What?

Are you satisfied with passing the test?

Otherwise!

With Cheng Long's level, Wu Yuan would be secretly happy if he could pass!

After finally getting through this drama, the crew once again returned to its usual smooth shooting state.

Liu Yifei also started filming her fighting scenes.

Sissi, move more sharply!

Where's Wu Zhi? Let's show her one more time!

Yes, kick your feet higher, that way it will be cool!

The martial arts instructor invited from the family class was dutifully demonstrating for Liu Yifei and adjusting her movements.

Liu Yifei also studied very seriously, with a tight face and her eyes fixed on the martial arts instructor, for fear of missing a small detail.

She couldn't help but not be serious.

The most outstanding part of the role of Weier is the fighting scenes.

Although in the early stages of the movie, she also represented the Singaporean pirates and participated in the rescue of Captain Jack Sparrow, arguing with Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and others about whether to summon the King of the Seven Seas to resist Davy Jones.

But in these literary plays, she was a supporting role in the group drama, and did not sing the main role.

The fight scenes are different. Although they are also in melee and chaotic battles, she has a lot of close-ups alone.

Action scenes by Chinese actors have always been the most accepted genre in Hollywood. Why do Chinese actors always produce Kung Fu superstars?

Liu Yifei's own martial arts skills are indeed good.

After all, she was able to practice on the set of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and it was not in vain to pay so much attention to wires.

As her first official appearance in Hollywood (the guest appearance in Night at the Museum is not counted), Liu Yifei gave 120% of her efforts to play this role well.

This also made it a novelty for Keira, who also had a role in these scenes.

She is also an actress, but she only played a weak governor's daughter. From the first to the third film, she was kidnapped and threatened several times, and there was not a single serious fight scene.

And as soon as Liu Yifei comes, she will be beaten with a slap, and she will become a tiger with a sword. Any pirate group member who comes close to her will not be her enemy.

Crystal is really amazing. Are all Chinese actors good at fighting?

The beautiful British rose seemed to have a little boy hidden in her heart. She eagerly watched Liu Yifei and the extras rehearsing the fight scene, and asked Wu Yuan with interest: Is Chinese kung fu difficult to learn?

I mean the one that Bruce Lee learned, called Wing Chun, right?

Wu Yuan glanced at Keira in surprise, You British people also know Wing Chun?

Of course! Kayla performed a classic Bruce Lee move on the spot, which is the A-Ta! move. In fact, this is the Wing Chun hand-raising move.

Bruce Lee's kung fu is also very famous in the UK.

This made Wu Yuan a little unexpected.

He thought that young people in Europe and America no longer knew Bruce Lee. After all, he died more than thirty years ago.

Maybe it’s because Keira is in the entertainment industry?

He asked uncertainly: Really? Do many young people in the UK know Bruce Lee?

This time, it was Keira who glanced at Wu Yuan in surprise, Of course, Chinese kung fu is very famous in the UK, and the reason for its fame is Bruce Lee.

Of course, now we have to add Jackie Chan. Jackie is also very famous in the UK now.

Is this so? Wu Yuan touched his chin and pondered.

He has greatly overestimated Bruce Lee's influence in the global film industry.

But now he suddenly discovered that Bruce Lee's influence was still higher than he imagined.

As the first Chinese movie star, the first Chinese kung fu superstar, and the movie actor who spread the word Chinese kung fu around the world, his influence abroad seems to far exceed the imagination of the Chinese people.

After all, when Bruce Lee was making movies in Hollywood, the country was in an unspeakable period of turmoil, and no one would pay attention to a Chinese movie actor on the other side of the ocean.

By the time people in China paid attention to and learned about Bruce Lee's deeds, he had been dead for a long time. The Chinese people could not clearly understand how powerful Bruce Lee's influence was through hearsay.

How high is Bruce Lee's status abroad?

In 1973, Enter the Dragon starring Bruce Lee achieved a huge box office success of US$23 million as soon as it landed in North America.

This movie is called the greatest kung fu movie in history, and was listed by the U.S. Congress as one of the 25 most important movies in American film history. It is respected by the European and American film industry as one of the films that changed the world.

Ranked number one among the ten greatest kung fu movies in history by the UK.

In 1973, Marvel created Shang-Chi based on Bruce Lee.

In 1979, the Los Angeles government designated June 8 as Bruce Lee Day.

In 1993, the United States issued US dollars commemorating the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death.

In 1993, the United States produced the movie The Legend of Bruce Lee to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death.

In 1993, Bruce Lee received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Japan's Fighting Karate magazine selected Bruce Lee as one of the top ten martial artists of the 20th century.

In 2003, Hollywood held a memorial event for Bruce Lee.

In 2004, Bruce Lee was called the father of MMA by the UFC president.

In 2004, Bruce Lee was selected as a hero and idol among the 100 greatest people on earth in the 20th century.

In 2005, a Bruce Lee statue was erected in Bosnia and Herzegovina to combat ethnic divisions.

In 2006, Bruce Lee entered Time's Asian Heroes list.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country with many Muslim believers and complex ethnic composition, Bruce Lee successfully defeated the president, Gandhi and other candidates and became the only bronze statue in Central Park.

After Bruce Lee's death, many countries in Asia, Europe, and America spontaneously organized themselves to set up bronze statues in honor of this great Chinese man.

There is a monument to Bruce Lee in the United States, and because his fans are so fanatical, almost every teenager in New York has a nunchaku, resulting in frequent street fights.

In the end, the city government had to issue a ban on nunchucks, which was not lifted until 2018.

Even in 2018, Afghan Alister Abbas became famous on the Internet for imitating Bruce Lee.

The term Bruce Lee has 455 million searches on Google, but only 100 million searches on Baidu.

Both of these online software were born after Bruce Lee's death, but he still contributed a lot of search volume to Google, more than four times that of Baidu in China.

Bruce Lee's news quality and search volume are far behind most fighters and entertainers. Bruce Lee is an inescapable person in the history of martial arts and action movies.

Even in the Internet age, the high quality and quantity of Bruce Lee's news are jaw-dropping.

In 2023, it will be the 50th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death. Enter the Dragon has been restored in 4K and will be re-screened in London, Vienna and other cities on August 11.

Bruce Lee's popularity and influence in foreign countries are actually far beyond the imagination of most Chinese people.

Everyone knows that he is a well-known kung fu superstar in Hollywood, but they don't know that he is so famous.

It can be said that before the emergence of Cheng Long and Yao Ming, the two Chinese people who represented China, Bruce Lee was famous in the world.

In any street interview, if you ask foreigners who Chinese people you know, 99% of the time the person who blurts out is Bruce Lee.

Rubbing his chin, Wu Yuan was thinking seriously.

Speaking of which, Oscar seems to love biographical films.

A Beautiful Mind, The Queen, Mozart, The Last Emperor, The Theory of Everything, The Iron Lady, The Social Network, The King's Speech and other movies that won the best picture and best actor/actress are all Biopic.

Moreover, Hollywood's biopics are very inclusive. There are biopics featuring famous scientists, politicians, historical celebrities, athletes and even big stars. They are all kinds of biopics.

If there is a chance, Wu Yuan can also make a biographical film based on Bruce Lee and try to win the Oscar for Best Picture!

Bruce Lee is so famous and influential in Hollywood that he is even considered an important actor who changed the history of Hollywood movies.

If a biopic is made with him as the protagonist, the old white people in the academy will still buy it.

As long as you are willing to spend some money on public relations, winning the best picture is not a dream.

Moreover, Wu Yuan has a very suitable candidate to play Bruce Lee!

Hong Kong actor Chen Guokkun!

He played the role of the fourth Shaolin senior brother, the ghost grappler, and the Shaolin team goalkeeper in Shaolin Football.

He was appreciated by Master Xing just because he looked like Bruce Lee.

In Shaolin Soccer, Star Master used his character to pay tribute to Bruce Lee. There are many scenes that imitate Bruce Lee in the movie.

It's also because his looks and body look very much like Bruce Lee.

So later when CCTV produced the biographical TV series The Legend of Bruce Lee, he was specifically chosen to play Bruce Lee, and his performance was so lifelike!

If an actor whose image, temperament, and figure are very similar to Bruce Lee can film his biopic, then the movie is basically half successful!

The remaining half is nothing more than turning Bruce Lee's life into a two-hour movie script in a reasonable and artistic way.

It just so happens that Wu Yuan still has some confidence in this aspect, and he very much hopes to be able to do it.

Zuckerberg, who is less than 30 years old, can have his own biopic The Social Network. How could Bruce Lee not?

This person brought Chinese martial arts to the world, changed the status of Chinese overseas, and changed the image of Chinese in the hearts of foreigners.

Let foreigners who think highly of themselves start to look squarely at Chinese Americans and kick to pieces the Chinese Kung Fu Superstar with the sign Sick Man of East Asia written on it.

There must be a biographical movie to record his great life!
