Lin Yuan thinks that he is already quite popular in the circle of powerful mainland actors.

However, compared with Jackie Chan, he pales in comparison.

If he had something to do, such as promoting a movie before, these veteran actors would definitely help him within their ability.

But like now, when big names in the industry like Leslie Cheung and Eric Tsang are invited to guest star in a movie with just one phone call, Lin Yuan thinks he doesn't have the ability.

In the final analysis, Jackie Chan's influence in the industry is simply too great.

Regardless of whether Lin Yuan is a Golden Goblet Best Actor, even though he has won all three Chinese Film and Television Best Actor Awards, his influence is far less than one-tenth of Jackie Chan.

After winning the Golden Goblet Award, major film crews rushed to find him to play the male lead in the movie. This made him feel a little proud. He felt that he was already a top star. In the future, he only needed to produce some good film and television works to win awards.

Basically there are no other pursuits.

But when he saw Jackie Chan's influence today, both at home and abroad.

He suddenly felt like Ji Dong when he was hanging out in Hengdian and eager to make his debut and become famous.

However, Lin Yuan is very clear that the road must be walked step by step. It is obviously impossible to achieve Jackie Chan's current achievements overnight.

Therefore, instead of thinking about how to become the same person as Jackie Chan, it is better to focus on the domestic competition for "tens of billions of box office".

Only if he is the first to win tens of billions of box office and has enough influence domestically can he have the possibility to pursue international film festivals.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan secretly made a decision in his heart.

At this time, Jackie Chan hung up the phone with Zeng Zhiwei, turned to Tang Jili and said: "I contacted Guoli and Zhiwei, they will handle the matter at hand, and they will be here in two days. It should be

There’s no need to find anyone else to make a cameo, right?”

Tang Jili seems to have become accustomed to the fact that Jackie Chan can find people to come and make guest appearances with just a phone call.

After hearing that both Eric Tsang and Leslie Cheung agreed to come over to make guest appearances, they didn't seem too surprised. They just kept explaining: "That's enough, there are just two actors left to make guest appearances."

Having said this, the group of people also walked to the door of the hotel room arranged by Prince Harmandan for everyone.

Having taken a flight straight from India to Dubai, everyone was already feeling a little tired.

Later, he drank a lot of wine at the banquet prepared by the Dubai royal family, so now he just wanted to rest early. Just like that, after his assistant opened the door of the hotel room for him, Jackie Chan was the first to speak: "Okay, what can I do with the crew?

Just tell me directly and I will go in and rest first."

Tang Jili calculated the time in his mind and replied: "Okay, it just so happens that the crew will start working again in two days. Brother, please take a good rest these two days."

Anyway, the crew will arrive in Dubai by plane almost tomorrow, and even the guest star Leslie Cheung will not be here for two days. We simply give the crew a break these two days, so that everyone can relax and enjoy themselves in a city like Dubai where people spend a lot of money.

.

After Jackie Chan returned to the room, Zhang Yixing, who had been holding back his words, was finally able to speak out.

"Director Tang, no wonder the crew wants to come to Dubai for filming. Did you know in advance that the Dubai royal family is a fan of Jackie Chan?"

After Zhang Yixing asked this question.

Even Lin Yuan suddenly turned his curious eyes to director Tang Jili.

Lin Yuan and the others would definitely not believe it if there was no relationship between them. After all, the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" was co-produced by China and India. It was understandable that they went to Iceland for filming. After all, these places are covered in ice and snow and have unique characteristics.

scenery.

There is no reason to choose to shoot in Dubai.

After hearing Zhang Yixing's question, director Tang Jili also smiled helplessly.

If he had known that the Dubai royal family was a fan of Jackie Chan, he would not have had to worry about filming the chase scene here in the first place.

The reason why I chose to shoot in Dubai is that, in addition to being a co-production between China and India, the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" also wants to promote the "Belt and Road" through this movie, and the United Arab Emirates happens to be a country along the "Belt and Road".

However, the construction of other cities in the UAE is far inferior to that of Dubai, a wealthy city, and the effect of the chase scene will be greatly reduced.

For various reasons, we finally decided to shoot in the city of Dubai.

The Dubai royal family is a fan of Jackie Chan, which is a complete surprise.

Seeing that Zhang Yixing and Lin Yuan were so curious, Tang Jili also explained to them: "I didn't expect the Dubai royal family to be fans of Jackie Chan, but if you have filmed a lot of movies with Jackie Chan, you will know that this kind of

It’s all too common.”

While talking, Tang Jili recounted Jackie Chan's international scenes over the years.

When Tom Cruise planned to film on top of the Sydney Opera House, the Australians turned him back.

Later, Jackie Chan said that he wanted to shoot his "Bloodline" on top of the Sydney Opera House, but the Australians were so happy that the government gave special permission and they immediately agreed.

Suddenly, he became the first movie actor in the world to stand on top of the Sydney Opera House and shoot a scene.

In 1998, Jackie Chan was invited to play in the Netherlands. He passed by a building in Rotterdam and said something polite, saying that the building was not bad and that it would be used for filming movies.

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. The mayor of Rotterdam heard it and remembered it in his heart. A week later, he called Jackie Chan and said, brother, how are you doing recently? I have cleaned the building for you. Come and film as soon as possible.

I miss my brother so much.

Then the scene of Jackie Chan jumping off a building in "Who Am I" was filmed there, and the government even used military armored vehicles and helicopters to assist in the entire filming process.

In 2005, the filming of "Shinjuku Incident" starring Jackie Chan started. The Kobe Minato River Waterway, which had never been opened in Japan, made an exception for the crew to shoot. Kabukicho, where there were restrictions on photography, was directly opened by the Japanese government. Even the gangsters did not resist Jackie Chan's temptation.

, lined up to welcome Jackie Chan’s arrival...

After talking for more than half an hour, Tang Jili didn't take a breath.

After Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing listened to director Tang Jili telling the stories behind the filming of these movies in a clear and logical manner, both of them were shocked, and their eyes were filled with wonder.

It wasn't until later that Tang Jili's mouth was really dry when he talked, that the three of them stopped talking about this topic.

After stopping the conversation, the two slowly returned to their room with endless yearning.

...

Early the next morning.

When the crew of "Kung Fu Yoga" set foot on the land of Dubai, they felt a variety of emotions.

Compared with the mess in India, Dubai can be considered truly "clean and hygienic".

After arranging all the crew members to the hotel, Prince Harmandan also parked 70 luxury supercars directly in the parking lot under the hotel for the crew to use for filming at any time.

In addition to luxury cars such as Bugatti, Ferrari, and Bentley, Prince Harmandan even brought out his own customized supercar worth more than 200 million yuan.

After seeing this, Jackie Chan also thanked him again and again: "Prince Harmandan, the crew does not need so many luxury cars for filming. I will be so embarrassed if they crash during the filming."

However, Prince Harmandan didn't care at all and said: "It's okay. You can use these cars casually and repair them if they break down. If they are not enough, I can immediately arrange for someone to bring over a batch of luxury cars."

After the accompanying translator explained what Prince Harmandan said.

Director Tang Jili was not only excited but also couldn't help but feel worried again.

These are real expensive sports cars. To Harmandan, these vehicles are not worth much, but to the actors, once the vehicle is damaged, it will cost millions or even tens of millions in repair costs. When the time comes to shoot,

It is inevitable that you will be a little timid and can't bear to collide.

This situation is definitely not good for the quality of the film. For this reason, he has already made plans to communicate with the actors later and try to make them relax.

After thinking about this problem clearly, Tang Jili continued to focus on the luxury cars in front of him.

Originally, he was planning to shoot the chase scene again some time later.

However, after seeing so many luxury cars, he was really itching to film the chase scene now.

However, considering that filming the racing scene required road closures in advance, and road closures required official help, in the end he had no choice but to suppress his impulse and prepare to film the racing scene after all the paperwork was completed.
