Jackie Chan is an internationally acclaimed kung fu movie star, shooting a number of classic martial arts movies and creating his own unique kung fu comedy.
Nowadays, Jackie Chan has won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, and has gained many fans at home and abroad, and is an influential big brother in the film industry.
Jackie Chan's road to fame is also very bumpy, he started from Wu Ti, and he had to meet nobles to have the opportunity to become the male protagonist, but the road after the male protagonist was also full of thrills.
Jackie Chan, formerly known as Chen Gangsheng, has been an energetic child since he was a child.
At that time, the Chen family was not rich, and there was no time to take care of their son, who always fought at school, so his parents sent him to the drama school founded by Yu Zhanyuan to learn drama performance.
Chen Gangsheng caught up with the Yuan Zi generation when he entered school, and learned the name of Yuan Lou, since then he has performed on stage while learning art, and the Seven Little Blessings composed of shi brothers are very popular.
But at that time, the business of the theater was not stable, but the movie began to rise, and Jackie Chan lost his job after graduation and began to eat with his master brother Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao is a film family, his grandfather is the founder of Hong Kong martial arts movies, from childhood in the family's ears, Hong Jinbao not only likes martial arts but also likes movies.
In the 1970s, when martial arts movies were all the rage, Bruce Lee was an icon of Chinese people around the world, and he also ushered in the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts movies.
At that time, the crew was gathered, all starting to make martial arts movies, requiring a lot of martial arts instruction, stand-ins, group performances, and dragon sets, and Hong Jinbao pulled the teachers and disciples to set up their own Hongjia class, and Jackie Chan was also one of them.
Although Hong Jinbao has a good family background, the competition in the martial arts team is very fierce.
At the same time, Liu Jiaban and Yuan Jiaban were all very well-known teams, and Hong Jinbao could not guarantee that the teachers and disciples would have work every day.
At that time, Jackie Chan and his disciples often got on the car early in the morning, and if the car started today, there would be work, and if it didn't move, there would be no work.
Sometimes even if you receive a job, it is a dragon set, playing a corpse, acting as a stand-in, and not even having a name.
Once Jackie Chan lay in the water to play a dead body, lying with a knife inserted in his body for a long time, but when the camera advanced, he accidentally photographed his undulating chest, and the director broke his mouth and scolded, and Jackie Chan was too frightened to say a word.
It was also these experiences on the set that allowed Jackie Chan to develop rapid reaction skills and provide a lot of material for his later kung fu comedies.
In 1972, Hong Jiaban successively cooperated with Bruce Lee in "Jingwumen" and "Raptors Across the River", although Jackie Chan only served as a stand-in for Bruce Lee, but he was very satisfied to be able to cooperate with idols.
At the same time, it is also this opportunity for Jackie Chan to be appreciated and have the opportunity to become a leading actor.
The unexpected death of Bruce Lee in 1973 caused an uproar around the world, and Hong Kong kung fu movies were suddenly discontinued.
Hong Kong's film companies are eager to find new people who can replace Bruce Lee.
Luo Wei, a director who had worked with Bruce Lee, remembered the sharp and muscular Wu Ti, and wanted to make him the second Bruce Lee, so he signed him into his company, and the stage name Jackie Chan was also given to him by Luo Wei.
After Jackie Chan signed into the company, he became the object of key training, and changed from Wu Ti to male protagonist.
Luo Wei wanted to continue bruce Lee's glory, so he asked Jackie Chan to imitate Bruce Lee's actions, and let him act as the male protagonist to shoot "New Jingwumen".
However, the reputation and box office of this movie are not good, and Bruce Lee's tough martial arts style is not suitable for Jackie Chan.
Instead of reflecting on his problems, Rowe threw the fire on the dragon head and scolded him for not having Bruce Lee's eyes.
Later, Luo Wei was not dead hearted, wanted Jackie Chan to shoot a costume martial arts drama, and took a fancy to Gu Long's novel "Wind and Rain Double Meteor", so he took Jackie Chan to find Gu Long to drink.
Jackie Chan very much wants to play the male lead, and frequently toasts at the wine table to show sincerity, but he accidentally drank too much and ran to the bathroom to vomit.
When he returned, he heard Gu Long also drunkenly say that his novel was not written for people like Jackie Chan, and Jackie Chan was so sad that he ran back to the bathroom and cried bitterly.
But fortunately, Jackie Chan met another nobleman, the martial arts superstar Wang Yu.
Before Bruce Lee, he was the highest-paid martial arts actor in Hong Kong
His "One-Armed Knife" series created the myth of Hong Kong martial arts films and carried a lot of weight in the film industry.
At that time, Jackie Chan was just a fledgling, but Wang Yu was very optimistic about him.
It just so happened that At that time, Wang Yu also liked the script of "Wind and Rain Double Meteor", so he found Gu Long to play the male lead and recommended Jackie Chan to play the villain.
Wang Yu is a box office guarantee, and he naturally won the drama by him, and at the same time achieved good results, and Jackie Chan also received attention because of it.
Another martial arts director in Hong Kong saw Jackie Chan through this film and borrowed him from Luo Wei to shoot two films, "The Serpentine Executioner" and "Drunken Fist".
These two films gave Jackie Chan a lot of freedom, he personally designed the action, abandoned the traditional hardcore martial arts, and integrated comedic elements and personal characteristics into the martial arts action.
These two films were a great success, making Jackie Chan famous in one fell swoop.
After these two films, Jackie Chan found that Luo Wei's film style was not suitable for him, and when he signed in to Luo Wei's company, the film remuneration was very low, and as he became popular, the salary did not rise, and the outside was bright and beautiful.
It just so happened that Jiahe Film was digging himself up, so Jackie Chan had plans to run away, but he had just proposed this idea to Luo Wei and was scolded back.
Luo Wei did not take Jackie Chan in his eyes at all, scolding him for being ungrateful, and when he was red, he wanted to leave, and there was no door. Jackie Chan failed to run away, and could only continue to work for Luo Wei, depressed all day.
Soon after, Jackie Chan and Wang Yu met on the set, and Wang Yu saw that Jackie Chan's state was not right, so he asked him if there was anything difficult. Jackie Chan saw That Luo Wei was on the set, and he didn't have much to say, so he quietly asked Wang Yu to drink at night.
In the evening, Jackie Chan found Wang Yu with wine, did not say a word, bowed his head and wept.
Wang Yu repeatedly asked him what was wrong, and Jackie Chan finally couldn't help but kneel on the ground and ask the eldest brother for help.
Wang Yu is ten years older than him, and he is also Luo Wei's partner, which may be the only straw that saves his life.
Jackie Chan told Wang Yu about his current situation, he couldn't make money every day, he didn't even have money to invite his brother to dinner, and Luo Wei still refused to let himself go.
Wang Yu is also a martial arts actor, knowing that they are all exchanging their lives for money, and a mistake may kill them.
Wang Yu is also like the hero he plays in the movie, heroic and courageous, and promised to help Jackie Chan this favor.
The next day Wang Yu found Luo Wei to negotiate, Wang Yu and Jackie Chan are different, he not only has influence and background in the film circle, offended him not to want to eat in the film circle.
In the end, Luo Wei judged the situation, nodded and released people, and in 1979, Jackie Chan left Luo Wei's company and signed a contract with Jiahe.
But Luo Wei could not swallow this breath, and within a few days he had found a group of jianghu brothers to take revenge on Jackie Chan.
At that time, Jackie Chan was eating outside, when suddenly a large group of people with knives and sticks surrounded him with great momentum.
Hong Kong gang fights also talk about rules, they also gave Jackie Chan the opportunity to let him find someone, Jackie Chan first thought of the good brother Hong Jinbao, it happened that Hong Jinbao was also nearby, and quickly rushed over.
But Hong Jinbao was also dumbfounded after arriving, although their divisions and brothers all had kung fu, but the other side had many powerful people and weapons, and they would definitely not be able to get a bargain when they really fought.
Hong Jinbao asked Jackie Chan to quickly find someone else, and Jackie Chan immediately thought of Wang Yu's big brother.
Wang Yu was a righteous man, and after receiving the call, he rushed to the scene without saying a word, he first found out the details of the other party, and it turned out to be the thug of the new Yi'an found by Luo Wei.
New Ngee Ann is one of the three major gangs in Hong Kong and is very influential in Hong Kong, but Wang Yu is not weak, he is the backbone of the Taiwan Bamboo Gang.
The Bamboo Gang is one of the three major gangs in Taiwan, and its influence is no less than that of New Ngee Ann.
If Wang Yu did not come, this matter would be a private revenge, and it was natural for New Yi'an to collect money to do things.
But now that Wang Yu is mixed in, the nature of the matter is different, and now it involves a struggle between two big gangs in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Wang Yu is the backbone of the Bamboo Gang, and has a close personal relationship with Chen Qili, the big man of the Bamboo Gang, and has also participated in the well-known "Three Blood Cases".
At the moment, these people in New Ngee An are just some small ponies, they dare not provoke an incident, so they knowingly let Jackie Chan go.
Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao, who were present, admired Wang Yu very much, regarded him as a big brother, especially Jackie Chan, who was rescued twice, and obeyed the big brother, and after that, Luo Wei did not dare to harass Jackie Chan again.
After this incident, Jackie Chan ushered in his peak period and began to self-direct and self-act to create his own unique comedy style.
After leaving Luo Wei, his first work, "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse", broke the Hong Kong box office record.
Later, Jackie Chan also went to the United States to learn Hollywood shooting methods and began to participate in international large-scale films.
Gradually Jackie Chan became an internationally renowned kung fu star, he did not become Bruce Lee second, but used his unique style to make Hong Kong martial arts movies go global.
Wang Yu slowly faded out of the film world, focusing on career investment and real estate, but Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao still had everything they needed, but whenever something needed them to come forward, they immediately put down their work and rushed to come.
In 2011, Wang Yu was invited by Chen Kexin to make a comeback film "Wuxia", and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor with this film.
In 2013, Wang Yu was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for "Lost Soul", and has been in hiding for many years but the sword is not old.
Wang Yu is not only the legendary big brother, but his martial arts films have also influenced a generation.
In 2019, Wang Yu won the Golden Horse Award for Lifetime Achievement, but in 2016, Jackie Chan also won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars, and both of them achieved fame.
Jackie Chan's big brother this way is not easy, fortunately also met the noble people to carry, help, only then have the international superstar.
All this is also inseparable from Jackie Chan's own efforts, it is precisely because of his solid foundation and dedicated attitude that he always meets nobles, is appreciated all the way, and the gold will shine everywhere, even if it is gray, it is only temporary.
