Because Xu Zhixuan's scenes were arranged after the castle, he was quite relaxed. When he was free, he would walk around and chat with his new friends, Yao Xingtong. It can be said that these few days, Xu Zhixuan was very relaxed.
But this was normal. In Jackie Chan's movies, even if he was the main character, he did not have many scenes. Most people still watched Jackie Chan's parts. But in the past, Xu Zhixuan had often seen Jackie Chan's desperate performances in movies. But this time, he had personally experienced it up close!
"I say, Big Brother is really desperate! Don't tell me we are going to do the same? "Zhang Lanxin finally learned something new. This was the way to film!
Xu Zhixuan smiled and shook his head. No matter if it was in this life or his previous life, he had heard about Jackie Chan's desperate actions. It was not something a newbie like Zhang Lanxin could compare to. He smiled and said, "You are thinking too much. That is Big Brother's specialty. You can't learn it!"
"Yeah, Big Brother relied on this to get to where he is today!" Liao Fan was sent out from the school. Naturally, he was also shocked. He had doubts about Jackie Chan's status in the past. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew why.
What was the charm of Jackie Chan's movies? Everyone knew that it was Jackie Chan's signature action scenes. From Drunken Fist to the current 12 Chinese Zodiac, he had never used a stunt double. Everyone was not watching the movie, but Jackie Chan's spirit. This was also why when Jackie Chan's movies were released, everyone cheered.
"Why don't you use a stunt double?" This was the first time Yao Xingtong and Jackie Chan worked together. Other than some basic information that could be found online, she was not clear about Jackie Chan's rule of not using a stunt double. Only Jackie Chan's fans knew about this.
Zhang Lanxin also nodded and said, "Yeah, Big Brother is not young anymore, but he is still jumping around on the roof. It's so dangerous!" Seeing Jackie Chan jumping around on the roof, if there was a scene that he was not satisfied with, he would have to reshoot it. Zhang Lanxin, who was watching from below, was terrified.
"You don't understand. This is Big Brother Jackie Chan's rule!" Liao Fan was a fan of Jackie Chan. It could be said that there were very few men in the 70s and 80s who did not like Jackie Chan's movies in Asia. The name Jackie Chan was well known in Asia. This was also the result of Hong Kong's golden age.
"Why?"
She was asking Zhang Lanxin. Girls rarely liked movies that involved violence. Moreover, she had been on the national team for ten years. She rarely had any entertainment activities. Every day, she trained, rested, and trained again!
"It seems like Big Brother said that he wanted to do it himself!" Yao Xingtong came to earn money. She seemed to have found some information about this on the internet. However, most of the posts said that Jackie Chan had a body double. But the scene in front of her made her a little puzzled.
Xu Zhixuan and Liao Fan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. To the two of them, Cheng Long fans, this matter was indeed a rare embarrassment for Cheng Long. In the past, many people who idolized Cheng Long would proudly say, "Our big brother Cheng Long doesn't even need a movie to shoot dangerous scenes. Can yours do the same?"
One must know that this sentence affected an entire generation. Take Xu Zhixuan's previous life as an example. He once argued with others in a group about who was the best actor in Hong Kong. At that time, everyone was talking about Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Leung Chaowei, etc. There was also a discussion about Jackie Chan. Xu Zhixuan was naturally in Jackie Chan's camp.
"Our Brother Fa is the god of acting!"
"Are you as good as our big brother Jackie Chan? Our big brother will do the dangerous scenes himself. He doesn't need a body double! "
"Our Hua Zai is one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Who can beat him in the film, television, and music industry?
"Are you as good as our big brother Jackie Chan? Our big brother will do the dangerous scenes himself. He doesn't need a body double! "
"Our Wei Zai is known for acting with his eyes. That pair of electric eyes can mesmerize people!"
"Are you as good as our big brother Jackie Chan? Our big brother will do the dangerous scenes himself. He doesn't need a body double! "
"Our XXX …"
"Are you as good as our big brother Jackie Chan? Our big brother will do the dangerous scenes himself. He doesn't need a body double! "
In the end, they were really annoyed. They kept saying the same thing over and over again. Everyone in the group complained, "Can you stop using this to refute us?"
At that time, Xu Zhixuan said, "Sure, our big brother Jackie Chan will get injured in almost every movie he shoots. Can you guys do the same?" Everyone was speechless. Indeed, in the early nineties, Jackie Chan was famous for his bravery in fighting. His record of injuries was enough to apply for the Guinness Book of Records. In this aspect, no actor was better than Jackie Chan.
Of course, we are talking about famous actors in Hong Kong, not body doubles. It was impossible to compare. If a body double didn't get injured, how could it be called a body double?
However, in the end, Jackie Chan did not use a body double. This "beautiful lie" was exposed by a stunt double. If it was some unknown body double, everyone might treat it as a joke. But it was not. The person who exposed Jackie Chan's body double was Luo Lixian.
"Look at Cheng Xiaodong's martial arts, look at Luo Lixian's movements." This was almost the consensus of the Asian film industry.
In 2007, a year that Jackie Chan's fans did not want to remember the most. That year, Luo Lixian, who was the body double of Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, and other big names, revealed the secret of body doubles on his blog.
Later, when Luo Lixian was interviewed by a reporter in Hong Kong, he revealed another shocking news. Jackie Chan claimed that he did not use a body double and that it was just a "beautiful lie." In fact, his body double had been with him since the beginning of filming.
This piece of news caused an uproar. What? Jackie Chan used a body double? Many fans who felt that they were cheated could not accept it. But many loyal fans still supported Jackie Chan. So what if it was a body double? Anyway, they were watching Jackie Chan's movie, not a body double's movie.
"Xu Zhixuan, we are asking you a question."
Xu Zhixuan was pulled out of his thoughts by someone. Seeing Zhang Lanxin looking at him angrily, he could not help but ask, "What's wrong?" But when he saw the three of them staring at him, he obviously understood. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
"Lanxin just asked you if you used a body double in your movie!" Liao Fan said understandingly.
Xu Zhixuan shook his head speechlessly. How could he compare with Jackie Chan? His movie, "The Lone Agent," had very few dangerous scenes. Even the most dangerous knife fight was the result of months of training.
"No, it can't be. I have watched your movie. There are many dangerous scenes, such as jumping out of a window. Don't tell me you really jumped from a building? Also, did you use a body double in the last scene when you were fighting with someone with a knife? "
Ever since she became familiar with Xu Zhixuan, Zhang Lanxin naturally asked her manager to get her a DVD of "The Lone Agent" from Korea. Although she did not understand the language in the movie, it was a movie after all. There was no sound at all.
After she watched it, although she watched it on the computer and was not as shocking as watching it in the cinema, Xu Zhixuan's acting did indeed surprise her. At least, her crying was proof. Therefore, she had never acted in a movie before. This was her first experience with "The Twelve Zodiacs," so she was naturally curious about the dangerous scenes in Xu Zhixuan's movie.
Xu Zhixuan saw that the other two were also curious. He smiled and said, "The jumping scene was actually fake. The glass was scratched and would break with a touch. As long as it was well protected, there would not be any danger. As for the second floor that you saw, there was actually a platform outside the window. They put a cushion there, so it was impossible to jump from the second floor. Even if I was willing, the director would not allow it."
Not everyone was like Jackie Chan. Even though Xu Zhixuan knew that he would not get hurt if he jumped from the second floor, Xu Zhixuan still would not choose to do so. It was not because he was afraid of accidents, but because he did not want to make the director and others worry. Times were different now. There were no more people who tried so hard to learn from Jackie Chan.
Zhang Lanxin was obviously disappointed with Xu Zhixuan's answer. The other two experienced actors were naturally calm. However, the next sentence was what they were really concerned about. Zhang Lanxin continued to ask, "Then, in the last scene when you were fighting with the villain with a knife, you used a body double, right?"
"No, I did it personally. The one minute that you saw was the result of a few months of training with another actor!"
Xu Zhixuan did not have to lie. Moreover, that scene was rarely used in short shots. Therefore, even if there was a body double, it would not have been used. In order to make it more realistic, Lee Jung-bum ordered the action director to train Tanayong Wangtraku. Later on, Xu Zhixuan had been practicing with Tanayong Wangtraku. That was why there was a wonderful knife fight later on.
"It can't be?" Obviously, this answer was a little out of Zhang Lanxin's expectations. For a one minute scene, they had trained for a few months. Thinking about how she had trained for less than three months for the film of the twelve zodiac, she suddenly felt a little ashamed.
On the other hand, Liao Fan and Yao Xingtong felt that Korean movies were not that bad. They had watched 'The Lone Agent' from Zhang Lanxin and knew that this movie was very successful in Korea. Xu Zhixuan won the Best Actor Award because of this movie.
Unlike the rookie Zhang Lanxin, they had a deeper and more detailed look. Especially Xu Zhixuan's eyes, they were full of admiration. One must know that there were many people with good acting skills. However, there were very few people who could use their eyes to describe the scene. The most famous one was Liang Chaowei. Xu Zhixuan had also reached this level. They had to admit that Xu Zhixuan was really a monster.
"What's there to lie about? Look at that scene, it was basically a long shot and a full body shot. Even if I wanted a body double, it would not work. You can't just shoot the body and not the head, right?"
Zhang Lanxin did not understand. Liao Fan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Zhixuan is right. If it was like this, there would be flaws in the scene. So, this scene was almost done in one go, right?" The last sentence was directed to Xu Zhixuan.
"Yes, that's right!" Xu Zhixuan nodded. Then, under Zhang Lanxin's gaze, the other two started to ask Xu Zhixuan questions. This made Zhang Lanxin a little depressed. Could it be that this rascal's acting skills were really good?
