Chapter 119 Blank Contract
After Bruce Lee's death, the whole Xiangjiang was looking for a second "Legend of the Dragon".
Luo Wei claims to be Bruce Lee's mentor (in fact, it has nothing to do with him).
In the name of paying tribute to Bruce Lee, Luo Wei claimed to train Jackie Chan to be "Bruce Lee's successor", and filmed traditional kung fu films such as "Wind and Rain Double Meteors" and "New Jingwumen".
…………
Luo Wei is a typical tyrant director, and he has some humorous attempts at Jackie Chan's suggestions for improvement in action, which was scolded by Luo Wei in pomp.
"Aaron! Are you stupid when you are a dragon and tiger martial artist! Will Bruce Lee roll on the ground? Will you be afraid of pain? ”
"Try to use tables and chairs as weapons in a fight?! Aaron, are you crazy? Filming has to be brainy. This is a kung fu movie, not a show juggling! ”
"I can shoot whatever I say. Stop talking nonsense! ”
…………
In the end, these bad films produced by Luo Wei Company continued to suffer fiascos at the box office in Xiangjiang.
Jackie Chan was hidden by Luo Wei as a "box office poison".
…………
At this time, director Wu Siyuan found Luo Wei and said: "You lend Jackie Chan to me to make two movies, and I will give you $10,000 for each one." ”
Rowe immediately agreed.
After all, Jackie Chan's salary is only 3,000 Hong Kong paper, and there is no loss at all when he lends it out!
After Wu Siyuan picked up Jackie Chan, he immediately filmed the movie "Serpentine Trickster" Jackie Chan immediately found a route that suited him, and it was a big success at the box office.
Then the two collaborated on "Drunken Fist", which was also popular.
This established Jackie Chan's status as a first-line actor.
…………
Jackie Chan after filming the fire of "Drunken Fist".
Luo Wei terminated the agreement with Wu Siyuan to lease Jackie Chan.
He began to play the emotional card, and his wife even recognized Jackie Chan as his godson.
Luo Wei hoped that Jackie Chan could renew his contract for 3 years, and give him a salary for each play from the original 4,000 Hong Kong dollars to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Jackie Chan agreed.
Then, Luo Wei asked Jackie Chan to sign a blank contract first, citing the company's legal contract process being too long, but the filming time was tight.
This blank contract for Rowe Film Productions.
It was orally agreed that the agreement period was 3 years, the monthly salary was 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, each film was divided into 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the liquidated damages were 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Two weeks later, Rowe pulled out the official text written on the blank contract.
Jackie Chan was dumbfounded.
The agreement period is 20 years, with a monthly salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, 30,000 Hong Kong dollars for each film, and 10 million liquidated damages.
…………
In 1978, "Snake Trick" and "Drunken Fist" blossomed, and in 1979, there was "Laughing Boxing Tricks".
Jackie Chan has become the most popular star in Hong Kong in one fell swoop from the former "box office poison", and has become the target of major film and television companies, staging a battle for Jackie Chan.
The blank contract incident made Jackie Chan and Luo Wei break up, and he took a huge risk and defected to Golden Harvest.
He Guanchang, one of the founders of Golden Harvest, even became Jackie Chan's godfather.
In Golden Harvest, Jackie Chan got creative freedom, wrote, directed and acted by himself, and served as a martial arts instructor.
…………
The first film he made after joining Golden Harvest in 1979 was "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", which he wrote, directed and acted in.
But during the filming of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", Golden Harvest frequently had strange things:
The company was set on fire, and the screenwriter's room was burned down;
The set was splashed with red paint, and the lighting equipment was smashed;
Several actors went out and were dragged into the alley, breaking their hands and feet;
A dead dog's head was found inside the boss's car;
Even one day, Jackie Chan walked out of the set and was tied to the car by several strong men, and in the car he saw a double-flower red stick talker from the number gang;
In addition to Hong Kong and Macao, the number gang is also active in Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
In the seventies and eighties, there were more than 100,000 members of the Number Gang, and they stood tall in Xiangjiang with Heliansheng and Xinji.
…………
Things involve the number gang, which is completely out of control.
On the one hand, the agent Chen Ziqiang asked Golden Harvest to come forward, and on the other hand, he took Jackie Chan overseas to avoid trouble.
This is the encounter between Nobunaga and Jackie Chan in RB.
………………………………
Everyone was slightly drunk, and Gifu Taro went to arrange a rental car and a hotel.
Miura Tomokazu and Jackie Chan drank a little too much, and the two hugged their shoulders and called them brothers.
Chen Ziqiang and Miki Ichiro talk about Ishikariya's summer drink endorsement.
Momoe Yamaguchi is going to the bathroom.
Nobunaga went downstairs to get a summer drink packed by Ishikariya.
…………
Nobunaga pulled up the sliding door of the box and walked towards the restroom on the right instead of going in the direction of the elevator going downstairs......
