On the banks of the Agnei River, more than 30 kilometers east of Rome, the picturesque town of Tivoli is located.
As early as the 2nd century BC, Tivoli was a resort for the ancient Romans, and attracted many emperors and nobles to build villas and palaces here.
Until now, the town of Tivoli still retains villas and monasteries left over from the Renaissance, attracting many tourists here.
Tivoli, whose permanent population is less than 50,000, welcomed the crew of Hong Kong in October.
Half of the crew members Jiahe and DreamWorks each, plus local Italian actors and translators, as well as the stunt team and martial arts class brought by Kang Jianfei, with a scale of more than 90 people.
Among the best hotels in the town, Kang Jianfei, Wu Johnson, Brigitte Lin, Jackie Chan, Cai Yongchang, Wu Chenggang and others gathered at a table.
Kang Jianfei pointed to the map of the town and said: We have been in the town for a day and are more familiar with the places everywhere.Jack Chen, a retired Flying Tigers player played by Jackie Chan, lives on this street in the east of the town, and then goes west from this route, preparing to deliver Qingxia to Rome as a express delivery.When he drove here, he opened the package he transported. After finding that the goods were individuals, he immediately took Qingxia back to his residence, so the two of them were attacked there and fled.Now we have to choose the location where the chase and fighting scene was filmed in Tivoli.
John Woo suggested: Fighting scenes can be shot in Villa Es, which is the most beautiful place in Tivoli.Moreover, the ancient buildings, fountains, gardens and other scenery inside can be used to design action scenes.We can take pictures like this, Jackie Chan and Qingxia are chased by unidentified villains, flee into Es Villa in panic, and then escape from Tivoli town overnight after defeating the bad guys.
Although the script of "Deadly Express" has been completed long ago, the specific location of the scene cannot be predicted, so the details of the action scene can only be decided temporarily.
Kang Jianfei talked with Jackie Chan about action design when he was in Hong Kong, but he was just talking about some general directions. How to shoot a fighting scene still needs to be discussed on the spot.
Because Jackie Chan's action scenes are not like other things, he can perfectly use live props to achieve unexpected laughter.
Mr. Zhang, can you apply for filming in Es Villa?Kang Jianfei asked an Asian man behind him.
This person is named Zhang Xiongguang. He is a tour guide from a Hong Kong travel agency in Italy. This time he was hired by Kang Jianfei as an interpreter and consultant.
Zhang Xiongguang said: It’s okay to film in the Roman Gladiatorium. Villa Es is a tourist attraction. You can just apply to the town and it can be done in half a day.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Then I'm going to bother Mr. Zhang, we are not familiar with this place.
Zhang Xiongguang promised: No problem, I will go to the mayor tomorrow morning, and I should be able to shoot in the afternoon.
No hurry, that fight scene will take two days to shoot.Kang Jianfei began to give orders, "The filming will be officially started tomorrow morning, Yu Sen, you have to deal with the extras."
no problem.John Wu nodded and said that he had been hidden by Jiahexue for nearly half a year. This time, Kang Jianfei wanted to come to be an assistant director.
Kang Jianfei asked Wu Chenggang again: Cousin, has the Mitsubishi company's car been shipped?
Only Aaron's special Mitsubishi truck arrived, and the other cars may be two days away.
Although Wu Chenggang is occasionally a lighting supervisor, as long as Kang Jianfei has a scene, he will come to be the producer and director of the venue for Kang Jianfei. To put it bluntly, he is a full-time nanny responsible for logistics and crew management.
There are two producers of "Deadly Express", in addition to Wu Chenggang, there is Cai Yongchang from Jiahe.
Cai Yongchang was originally an employee of the Propaganda Department of Shaw Company. He was He Guanchang's confidant when he was the director of the Propaganda Department at Shaw Company. Later, he left Shaw Company with He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai to establish Jiahe, and he is a veteran of Jiahe Film.
Cai Yongchang used to be a relatively capable middle-level employee at Shaw Brothers, but now he has become a real-powerful figure in Jiahe Film.
For example, if a director wants to find Jiahe to invest in a movie, then he will just ask Cai Yongchang for it. As long as the person agrees, he will basically get the funds.
However, what satisfied Kang Jianfei the most was that after Cai Yongchang joined the crew as the producer of the "Deadly Express", he did not make any mistakes in the filming affairs. He just calculated the crew's expenses with Wu Chenggang every day and made the budgets clear.
To put it bluntly, Cai Yongchang is very clear. He is here to supervise the use of the film budget. At most, he can urge the shooting progress at critical moments, or when the crew has difficulties, he will help solve it.
Cai Yongchang said: Mitsubishi's car should be available the day after tomorrow. I will call you later and urge you.
Like Kang Jianfei, Jackie Chan's auto sponsor is also Mitsubishi, so you don't have to worry about sponsorship contract disputes when working together.
Everyone discussed the scenes they would film tomorrow. They saw that the time was almost over before they went back to their room to rest.
Kang Jianfei lives in the same room with Brigitte Lin without any concealment. The rest of the crew are no longer surprised and treats them as a couple.
Jackie Chan watched them walk into the room with his hands in his arms and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He remembered Qin Xianglin, who was snatched from his love by Kang Jian's flying sword.
Because of Qin Xianglin, Jackie Chan hated Kang Jianfei for a while, but now that everyone is working together, there is no need to mention that little thing.
Jackie Chan envied Kang Jianfei's love luck, and he was able to catch up with Brigitte Lin, the great beauty.
If it weren't for Brigitte Lin's famous flower, Jackie Chan would probably have taken advantage of this cooperation opportunity to launch a strong pursuit of Brigitte Lin's attack.
Of course, these are all random thoughts. After Jackie Chan walked past Kang Jianfei's room, he went directly into Cai Yongchang's room next to him.
Uncle Chang, the computer will be turned on tomorrow. Do you have anything to tell me?
Jackie Chan asked quite respectfully.
Jackie Chan is He Guanchang's godson, and Cai Yongchang is He Guanchang's confidant for decades, so Jackie Chan has a good relationship with Cai Yongchang.
Cai Yongchang used to be very high-profile in publicity. At the beginning of its establishment, Jiahe joined forces with Japanese film companies to plan the Sino-Japanese War gimmick of "One-armed Sword vs. The Blind Man". This trick was made by Cai Yongchang.
But Cai Yongchang, who is high-profile in his work, is very low-key. He is not very greedy for power, restraining power and relying on his seniority. He smiled and said: I am here to help you beat the edge drums, what instructions can you give?But Ah, Ah Long, you are very good at making Kung Fu movies in the early Republic of China, but this time I filmed a fashion kung fu comedy, so I need to summarize and learn more about my experience.Mr. Kang from DreamWorks is very good at shooting fashion kung fu movies, and working with him is a good opportunity for you.
I know, thank you for the reminder of Uncle Chang.
Although Jackie Chan is a rough man, his learning ability is super strong.
Although the movie "Killer Trench" that wanted to enter the Western market failed, Jackie Chan and the Hollywood team filmed the drama for several months, and what he learned benefited him endlessly.
Cai Yongchang asked again: What do you think of this drama?
Jackie Chan thought for a while and said: I talked to Mr. Kang about fashion action comedy a few days ago. I thought about it carefully and found that what he said made sense.
Oh, what win element?Cai Yongchang suddenly became interested.
Jackie Chan has a bad memory. Kang Jianfei has almost forgotten what he said to him one day. He quickly took out the small book he carried with him and recited according to it: These winning elements are: superb skills, grassroots heroes, social justice, kindness, kung fu, props and venues, high-risk movements, never giving up, fists against guns.Mr. Kang said that as long as you can have half of the elements in it, a fashion action comedy can get a good box office.
Cai Yongchang asked: How to solve it?
Jackie Chan looked at the annotations on the notebook and gradually recalled the situation where Kang Jianfei was speaking at that time.
The so-called "superior skills" are the key to the success of an action star.Although Qingxia became famous in the West and Japan with the image of "The Royal Sister", she is not a real action star because many of Qingxia's action scenes are used as a stand-in.
The meaning of ‘grassroots hero’ is that the protagonist’s screen image must be popularized, and there is only one martial god like Bruce Lee who will never be defeated.
What is the protagonist who is more likable to the audience?
It is a grassroots hero who will hurt when he hits his face and will run away when he sees a villain pulling out a gun. This will not only increase the comedy effect of the film, but also be closer to the audience.
‘Social justice’ is the protagonist’s words and deeds, which must conform to mainstream moral concepts and represent the party that represents justice.
Good people beat bad people, heroes fight robbers, this will never be outdated. Relying on violence and ferocity to attract audiences can only succeed temporarily, and it cannot be stable for a long time.
Moreover, when filming a fighting scene, it is best to arrange for the protagonist to be beaten by the villain and show the villain's viciousness and ugliness. In this way, the protagonist will fight back legitimately, which will make the audience look like they have the same hatred for the enemy.
‘A kind heart’ is similar to social justice, and the so-called benevolent person is invincible.
Although Zhang Che's martial arts film, which is deeply bitter and hateful and kills all the enemies, has been popular for many years, it has invisibly driven away some women and older audiences because it is too violent.
For example, when the protagonist is fighting with the villain, the villain suddenly falls under the cliff and falls to death. The protagonist rescues him out of human kindness. Is this more acceptable to the audience?
As for the villain after being rescued, whether it is to be defeated by the protagonist by kindness and revenge, or to be grateful to the protagonist of the anti-gang, this is a very interesting plot.
There is no need to mention the 'Harmony Kung Fu'. Your movies such as "Drunk Boxing", "Smiles of Laughing Boxing", "Junior Brother Takes Horse", "Plan A" and other movies have become perfect.
The ‘props venue’ is extremely critical. Most movies are shot in outdoor locations, such as stairs, doors, containers, telephone poles, billboards, etc. These things are there. If they can be perfectly applied to fighting scenes, they will make the action scenes smoother and more dramatic.
literally speaking, ‘high-risk action’ means that people cannot do it, such as falling down from a three-story building, and sliding down from a skyscraper with a rope hanging down.
This kind of lens is easy to get hurt, but once it is shot, it will definitely attract the audience's attention.
‘Never Say To Beat’ is spiritually speaking, just like you did in "The Junior Brother Comes Out", you were beaten by the villain for more than ten minutes without surrendering.
At this time, the audience was already very depressed, and they were looking forward to the protagonist being able to fight back and once the protagonist showed his power, he could win a lot of prizes.
‘Fist vs. Gun’ is the most important thing in fashion kung fu movies, that is, what should fists do when facing modern weapons?The best way to deal with it is to remove the opponent's gun, or use words to inspire the opponent's fist to fight...
Cai Yongchang listened to Jackie Chan's retelling one by one, and a sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
He used to be in charge of the publicity department at Jiahe. In the past two years, he has gradually changed to the production direction. He has studied countless movies, but no one has summarized the elements of genre movies so clearly.
Especially Hong Kong's fashion kung fu comedy, they are still in the exploration stage. This year, only Sammo Hung's "The Strategy of the Five Blessings Stars" has achieved great success.
Kang Jianfei actually said all the important elements of this type of movie. For professionals like Cai Yongchang and Jackie Chan, the meaning is simply to listen to your words, which is better than reading for ten years.
Whether it is He Guanchang or Jackie Chan, he has already had routine experience in kung fu comedy, but most of them think that the audience will buy it in this way, but there is no theoretical thing. What Kang Jianfei said can be a guiding program.
Cai Yongchang looked at what Jackie Chan recorded in the notebook over and over again, and finally couldn't help but sigh and said: Mr. Kang is such a strange person. The most rare thing is that he doesn't hide his own personal information.
Because of Qin Xianglin, Jackie Chan heard a lot about Kang Jianfei's evil deeds.
For example, when Kang Jianfei invited a prostitute to falsely accuse Qin Xianglin, Jackie Chan knew very well about the twists and turns, so he still despised Kang Jianfei's character.
But this does not affect Jackie Chan's admiration for Kang Jianfei. If a person has status and ability, his character can be ignored to a certain extent.
What's more, Jackie Chan is now in a very embarrassing stage, and the hot sales of "Plan A" and its sister episodes cannot conceal the decline of the Kung Fu movies in the early Republic of China.
In addition, Sammo Hung's "The Strategy of the Five Blessings" was successful, which made Jackie Chan desperately want to make a fashion kung fu comedy, but he could not make that decision.
Why can’t I make up my mind to transform?
Because Jackie Chan is a sign of Jiahe, he cannot and must not fail.
In case of a fashion action comedy failure, Jiahe will lose not only the box office, but also the popularity that Jackie Chan has accumulated over the years.
This is also the prerequisite for Jiahe to ask Kang Jianfei to direct "The Deadly Express".
First of all, Kang Jianfei's grasp of the box office is obvious to all, and he has successfully directed a fashion kung fu film like "The Royal Sister", and has a certain influence in the European and American markets.
Then he asked Brigitte Lin to be the heroine, and some other well-known European and American movie stars joined, thus minimizing the possibility of failure of this film.
To put it another way, even if the movie fails, Jiahe can still push the reason for the failure to director Kang Jianfei. Jackie Chan is the victim who was implicated by Kang Jianfei, just like Jiahe pushed the reason for the failure of "The Killer Trench" to the Hollywood collaborators a few years ago.
It can be said that in order to allow Jackie Chan to transform smoothly and to enable Jackie Chan to enter the Western market, Jiahe took great pains and made all the efforts.
However, Kang Jianfei is not a fool either. When he was negotiating with Jiahe, he also won three film contracts for Jackie Chan.
Although Zou Wenhuai requires that Jiahe must participate in the joint filming of these three movies, the copyright owner is undoubtedly DreamWorks.
He Guanchang naturally told Jackie Chan about Jiahe's plan, so Jackie Chan put his attitude very low in this cooperation, headed by Kang Jianfei everywhere, and even flattered Kang Jian from time to time.
Although Jackie Chan has not fully paid attention to the winning elements of fashion kung fu comedy summarized by Kang Jianfei, he has already had a clearer idea of how to start this kind of film.
Therefore, Jackie Chan despises Kang Jianfei for his character, but in this matter, he not only admires Kang Jianfei, but also feels grateful.
But why did Mr. Kang tell me this?Jackie Chan pointed to the book and asked in confusion, the fewer people knew about this kind of good thing, the better, so as not to teach his disciples to starve the master to death.
Cai Yongchang didn't know why Kang Jianfei was so kind, but these theories could not be faked. His impression of Kang Jianfei was getting better and better.
Didn't you show this thing to your godfather?Cai Yongchang asked.
Jackie Chan shook his head and said: Not yet, I want to wait until the filming of this movie, and make it clear while filming.
Cai Yongchang said: Put this book here first, and I will copy the things and send them back to Mr. Zou and Manager He.
As early as the 2nd century BC, Tivoli was a resort for the ancient Romans, and attracted many emperors and nobles to build villas and palaces here.
Until now, the town of Tivoli still retains villas and monasteries left over from the Renaissance, attracting many tourists here.
