Jackie Chan quickly got into the groove of work.

No matter how much everyone criticizes Jackie Chan's acting skills, but at least his attitude towards acting is that everyone has nothing to say, Jackie Chan's performance today is like this, he began to follow the script and storyboard script given by Luo Mo with the rhythm, slapping his hands down, as if he was beating the drum, and his face was also a self-absorbed expression.

This kind of performance is enough anyway, and it can bring enough laughs...... Jackie Chan is famous, and what everyone also likes to watch is his kung fu comedy, which is not only kung fu, but also comedy. Therefore, when performing these comedic effects, Jackie Chan is also familiar with it.

After filming this paragraph, Luo Mo gave Jackie Chan a thumbs up: "Big Brother Jackie Chan!" It's good, you can go through it all at once. ”

Jackie Chan blinked, but said with a smile: "Do you want to make up another one?" Say it if you need to, don't be embarrassed. ”

"It's really good, that's all." Luo Mo said with a smile.

Jackie Chan nodded.

Next, Luo Mo let Jackie Chan return to his exclusive rest room, and delivered the meals belonging to Jackie Chan as soon as possible in the afternoon, and there was a night scene in the evening.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jackie Chan, I have to trouble you to shoot a night scene at night." Luo Mo said to Jackie Chan with a smile.

"It's okay, I know all of this, haven't I said it all...... Okay, you're a director, go about your own business and don't pay too much attention to me. Jackie Chan said with a smile. From now on, Jackie Chan has always been very kind, and he does not have the shelf of a superstar in the Chinese entertainment industry, Luo Mo can invite him to play a role in his movie, which can be regarded as a kind of luck.

"Alright then, I'll go over and get ready." Luo Mo snorted, and then came outside, this is a ready-made set, and everyone's scenes in the presidential suite have not been filmed yet, so the layout here has not been completely destroyed.

In the evening, the filming was the scene where Jackie Chan was at home, with his bodyguards, to greet Luo Mo and they sent the tiger over, the filming of this scene, the crew of "Hangover" specially rented a luxury villa for a local rich man in Macau, but this rich man was very interested in filming, and he also knew that Luo Mo was the director of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", which created a box office miracle in the mainland, and the most important thing was that he knew that Jackie Chan would actually participate in the performance, so this rental, the rich man was free for Luo Mo to use, The only requirement is that the facilities inside cannot be destroyed, and at the same time he wants to take a photo with Jackie Chan.

After the crew agrees to these things, they can start filming tonight here.

The shooting at night was faster than during the day, and it took us a little time to finish the filming, and Jackie Chan and they will not leave Macau for the time being, so they will live in the room arranged by the crew.

Luo Mo told Shen Dan to prepare a summary of today's shooting, and sent a copy of today's shooting replay to his room, and then he himself went to Jackie Chan's room, this was the first time he had such an opportunity to chat with Jackie Chan...... In short, he still likes this person very much, if Luo Mo's favorite star is, that one is Jackie Chan, the other is Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi He hasn't seen it until now...... I can only chat with Jackie Chan more.

"Director Luo......" After Jackie Chan opened the door, he found that it was Luo Mo, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and brought Luo Mo to the room with a smile.

"Brother Jackie Chan, don't call me that...... Call me Luo Mo or Ah Mo. Luo Mo walked into the room with a smile.

"Sit down." Jackie Chan beckoned Luo Mo to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I also want to talk to you, but I'm just worried about disturbing you." ”

"No, I'm not very busy right now." Luo Mo said.

"No...... You are now a director when making movies, and there are so many big and small things, it is impossible not to be busy. But it's good for you to come now...... I still admire you filmmakers who dare to think and do, especially in this day and age, you will have a great future. Jackie Chan said.

"Thank you. I hope so, too. Luo Mo said frankly: "Actually, when I came to find Jackie Chan, the main reason was to get close to the actor I liked...... I've loved watching your movies for years, but only today can I have the opportunity to sit in a room and talk. ”

"Oh? Like my movie? Jackie Chan smiled and said, "You just said that because you see me now, right?" ”

"No, no, no." Luo Mo waved his hand and said: "I really like it all the time, maybe you also know that the children who grew up in our mainland, when they were young, most of them grew up watching VCDs of Hong Kong films, and I also watched many of your movies at that time...... I used to like "Police Story" and "A Plan" the most, but when I grew up, I liked "Who Am I" more, and now I like it too...... Sometimes I feel very scared when I think about your shocking stunt in "Who Am I", how can a person integrate into the identity of an actor to dare to do such dangerous stunts from such a high place? ”

Luo Mo's words came from the bottom of his heart, Jackie Chan seemed to feel this sincerity, and he also felt some emotion in his heart - Luo Mo's words really resonated with him - indeed, he really integrated many things about himself into the identity of an actor, thinking of the thing that really slipped down from the building in Rotterdam back then, Jackie Chan also had a little arrogance and slowly rose, but turned into a wry smile: "It was all when I was young......

"No, I believe that in the hearts of many of our friends, Jackie Chan will always be the ...... back then"

"Thank you." Jackie Chan changed his words for a while, and seemed to think about whether he could say this before he continued: "Forgive me for being presumptuous...... But I still want to ask, do you plan to take the overseas route for this movie? ”

Luo Mo was slightly stunned, then nodded, sure enough, these filmmakers with a keen sense of smell can always know what they want to do.

"Overseas route ......" Jackie Chan smiled: "This does show some ...... There's a lot of humor and slang in the script that belong to American humor, and today's song is also in the American rap style. ”

"That's right." Luo Mo is looking forward to Jackie Chan's opinion, but he is expecting him to say something good...... If he said that he was insufficient, then Luo Mo would also be in pain.

He just gave Jackie Chan a script, but Jackie Chan was still able to deduce something else from something in the middle.

"Big Brother Jackie Chan...... So what do you think of my route...... Is it the right one? Of course, I can't make this a whole thing beautiful, it's just a little bit of a way of thinking that caters to them. ”

Jackie Chan nodded, and then said in a heavy tone: "It has never been easy to take the overseas route, especially in the past few years...... Our films have really made some overseas distributors swoon. They slowly feel more and more that Chinese movies are clichΓ© and uninnovative, and they dare not buy them...... In this way, our kung fu movies began to decline, and there is nothing else that can make them shine, and it is the same set every year, so in addition to our costume kung fu characteristics, they have everything else we have, and they don't necessarily buy it. ”

Jackie Chan paused, and then said: "Moreover, I have been there for a few years, and I know the attitude of Americans and Europeans towards Chinese films, they need new ideas, and they need us to come up with something new." In this regard, I think your films can attract them in some places, but the comedy genre doesn't sell very well in those places, and you need to know that. ”

"Well, I know." Luo Mo nodded, feeling a little heavy.

Jackie Chan continued: "We have to produce hundreds of movies a year, which is dazzling for them foreigners, and it is impossible to screen them one by one, so the way they find movies is first to win awards, and Chinese films that have won awards at the three major film festivals are generally favored, and then they are looking for those genres that Chinese films are good at, such as kung fu movies...... However, with all due respect, it is also a bit difficult for your film to win awards, and there is no kung fu element in it, so it is really difficult to sell well overseas. ”

Luo Mo nodded, Jackie Chan explained to him the difficulty of selling films overseas from another angle, which is consistent with what Bai Zhenen said, but it is from another angle.

"I know it." Luo Mo nodded: "But ...... I'm already there, so I'm hoping to keep going......"

"It's good to have this idea." Jackie Chan said: "I believe you can do it, what I told you before just hopes that you can recognize this problem better, but if you lose confidence, it will be bad." However, there is another problem...... I know that you also have a lot of homegrown things in the movie, but it may still feel a little more Western-style, and you have to worry about causing a backlash from the domestic people. ”

This topic made Luo Mo frightened - it is indeed not impossible to have such a possibility...... If the foreign audience doesn't buy it, and the domestic audience doesn't buy it, and they also say that they are Westernized, traitorous, and forget about culture, then this matter is quite big...... No, we still have to think about this problem of Chinese and Western cultures, otherwise, like Zhang Guoshi, we will win Europe and the United States and lose the hearts of the people in China, and we will still lose Europe and the United States after the worst, which is a big thing.

It's not flattering at both ends...... It's not okay.

Luo Mo nodded heavily: "Thank you, I know." ”

After coming back from Jackie Chan, Luo Mo thought about it for a while, and did not tamper with the script indiscriminately, but recalled some past replays in his mind, and from the current point of view, there are not too many mistakes, and there are not too many problems in this regard...... Shoot later...... Well, pay more attention.

The impact of Chinese and Western culture is indeed a major problem, to say that Western civilization is a material civilization, Eastern civilization is a spiritual civilization is nonsense, Western civilization has a brilliant ancient Greece, a prosperous Middle Ages, and the later Renaissance, China is not without material civilization, at least the development of folk science and technology in the Ming Dynasty was very good. However, even so, there are always major differences between Eastern and Western civilizations on some subtle things...... Although strictly speaking, our current westernization is not unserious - few of the things we come into contact with in our daily life really belong to the Chinese civilization, but emotionally, after all, we still can't accept such things.

Therefore, if everyone really thinks that Luo Mo is too Westernized at that time, then if a few people stir up trouble, it may really attract large-scale dissatisfaction......

This issue really has to be approached with care.

Luo Mo almost stayed up all night and modified the next things slightly, but the changes were not too much, it should be said that it was still relatively compromised.

After that, "The Hangover" was also filmed according to a slightly newer idea.

When the filming was on December 16th, after Luo Mo handed over the crew's shooting plan and some specific storyboard scripts to Zheng Anfei, they began to shoot scenes without Luo Mo, and Luo Mo himself went to Beijing to participate in the premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

The premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is particularly grand, which is really different from the dick when "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" premiered...... Luo Mo also thought about doing this one day.

After attending the premiere, Luo Mo did not leave the capital directly, but returned to the company first.
