Jackie Chan won the world prize again! After nearly 60 years, he said that he never wanted to give up.

Special feature of 1905 film network "I have been making movies for 59 years. I have been making action comedies for almost all these years, because I like to see the audience laughing in the cinema, which makes me very happy."

　

Recently, Jackie Chan gave good news to everyone at the Weibo, because he just won the British Film Academy Award "Great Britain Award", which is known as the "British Oscar".

　

The "Great Britain Award" is a film award established by the Los Angeles Branch of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 1989 to recognize artists who have made contributions to the entertainment industry on a global scale.

　

Jackie Chan won the "Albert R. Broccoli Prize" of the "Great Britain Award" this time, aiming at rewarding outstanding artists and filmmakers who are iconic and pioneering and have a far-reaching impact on the global entertainment industry.

At the award ceremony, Jackie Chan received the award from Vin Diesel. As usual, he also wore a Chinese tunic suit and held a national treasure panda doll, and continued to spread and publicize China’s excellent culture to the world.

　

This is another important international award with symbolic significance that Jackie Chan won after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 89th Academy Awards two years ago.

The official evaluation of the "Great Britain Award" wrote: "In his career of more than 50 years, Jackie Chan has become a beloved and respected figure.We all know him, and we like his innovative stunt work and his unique combination of kung fu and comedy."

　

After winning the prize, Jackie Chan accepted an exclusive interview with us. He told us: "For action filmmakers, this process is more difficult, and they have to pay more than others. Sweat, tears, blood, injuries accumulated all the year round, and uninterrupted tests of life and death, in fact, fighting until now is to win more applause and respect on the world stage."

　

From body double’s stunt just to earn a living to leading the trend of kung fu movies, Jackie Chan is well-known in the world film industry. More importantly, besides insisting, he constantly innovates kung fu movies. "We must ensure that people will have a non-repetitive experience and not let the audience down. This is why I have been insisting for almost 60 years."

　

In recent years, the number of films made by Jackie Chan has not decreased, and the quality is high or low. The growth of age and the injuries caused by filming will indeed hinder the performance and creation of action filmmakers, but Jackie Chan also said that even if there is pressure, he never wants to give up.I still dare not slack off in my sixties, and I still have to keep trying new things.

Kung fu movies are at war with technology and need constant innovation.

　

"If you don’t innovate, you can’t go far. This is true for movies, especially for kung fu movies." Looking back at Jackie Chan’s works since he entered the industry, he has been pioneering and innovating his own films.

　

In 1978, "Snake-shaped Diaoshou" and "Drunken Boxing" were the beginning of "Jackie Chan Kung Fu Comedy", which was different from the real kung fu that used to be all hard-bridge and hard-horse.He ingeniously incorporated comedy elements into action design, and also changed the tough guy image in traditional kung fu movies in the film, creating a humorous and kind "kung fu kid", which was very popular.

　

Soon, the name "Jackie Chan" became a famous brand in kung fu films, and he also became the real "author" of his own films — — Director, screenwriter, starring, action guidance, stunt performance, etc.

Later, he ventured into Hollywood, learned the advanced production methods and cultural concepts of Hollywood at that time, and began to serve as a producer. After playing the role of police for many times in the "Fuxing Series" directed by Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan also began to play the role of police in his own films.

　

And series are two representatives.The innovation lies in the combination of China’s kung fu films with western modern police films.It solves the problem of how traditional kung fu and gun technology face and present each other in action movies.

　

Since 1990, Jackie Chan’s movie map has gradually crossed five continents., "Police Story 3: Super Police", etc., Jackie Chan’s police role has also been upgraded to an international agent, which has fully opened up the global market.

　

In this way, Jackie Chan’s Kung Fu comedy has gradually become a China business card for world movies and a unique cultural landscape of film entertainment.

The reason why Jackie Chan’s fighting scenes last forever is that they are always innovative, imaginative and ornamental.He will use all the available props in the scene environment and arrange them step by step into the action program, which is full of tricks and won’t make the audience feel bored.

　

To this end, we often see pictures of his injury in the film’s trailer, and there are countless injury records that can be listed. When it was released, some fans drew a picture of Zhang Chenglong’s whole body injuries, from head to toe, almost every part of his body had been sinned.

　

The filming insists on no stunts, no body double, and praises when there are comments: "If we go back to the silent film era, Jackie Chan will become a great actor like buster keaton."

　

Jackie Chan is 65 years old and is still on the front line of the set. Every time he goes to the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, he can see his active movements and figures on the screen. Although the film quality in recent years can’t be compared with the glorious period, it is better to continue to experiment and explore the creative field of kung fu films on the basis of success.

Jackie Chan believes that "Kung Fu movies are fighting against film technology. Film technology has developed to omnipotence, which can create unimaginable visual wonders, enable ordinary people on the big screen to complete beautiful movements and make a makeover.However, Kung Fu movies can only be realized by our own experience, one punch and one foot, one knife and one gun."

　

Therefore, after China’s kung fu films are exposed to the world, Jackie Chan hopes to have more new ways to gain the trust and love of the audience, and he is working hard on this road.

In recent years,Jackie Chan’s films have continuously increased cooperation with overseas film institutions, seeking new ideas in large-scale transnational production.: shooting in India, blending local song and dance elements; Next year’s New Year’s Day movie will be filmed around the world and upgraded at risk.

　

Starting with the Zodiac,Introduce modern high-tech equipment into the action bridge in a large area.In addition, kung fu films are also integrated into different themes, and more possibilities of action arrangement are tried in fantasy films such as "Heavenly Master" and other films with vague background of the times.

Jackie Chan is also broadening his play, and his interpretation is different from his previous role types.Including the father who lost his daughter in the movie and the literati character "Detective Pu Songling". Since it is a challenge, there must be risks, and we will definitely see more atypical Jackie Chan movies in the future.

　

Pay attention to society and culture, and go global through cooperation.

Many people claim that not only Jackie Chan’s kung fu films, Stephen Chow’s nonsense comedies and Tsui Hark’s martial arts films have passed their peak, but in fact, they are now experiencing the running-in period and exploration period after they went north to create, which is also the overall status quo faced by traditional Hong Kong filmmakers.

　

Therefore, the word-of-mouth of these works must be praised and derogated, which is normal. Looking at it from another angle, it is Hong Kong filmmakers like Jackie Chan who have brought more advanced modes, technologies and talents to the start and development of China’s film industrialization.

　

For example, Jackie Chan’s "Homemaking Class" has exported a large number of excellent stuntmen for the film industry. In 2015, he launched Jackie Chan International Action Film Week to commend outstanding action filmmakers, and also cultivated and supported many new generation of action forces.

Having won the Great Britain Award this time, Jackie Chan said that he was also winning awards for all action filmmakers.All the honors are telling them that their hard work and persistence will not be in vain. That’s how I got here. I never thought about giving up. I didn’t forget my goal when I entered the industry when I was in my sixties."

　

He hopes that the younger generation can catch up as soon as possible, so that China’s Kung Fu movies can be carried forward.

　

Jackie Chan not only embodies the inheritance responsibility and professional responsibility of China filmmakers, but also continues to promote Chinese culture in his films, conveying positive values and positive energy.

　

How do China films really go global? Jackie Chan thinks, "Our own films should be confident, pay more attention to our own society and culture. Only in this way can we lay a good foundation and have the confidence to influence the world.","We have so many excellent traditional cultures and so many outstanding talents that we can promote them to the world with the help of film creation. "

　

Equally important is a lot of cooperation with foreign countries, just like the international production mode he has always adhered to. "Cooperation and communication can make our different cultures understood more quickly and eliminate barriers. At the same time, cooperation can also make use of the strengths of others to make up for our own shortcomings, so that our film creation can grow rapidly in a broader world stage. "

For the next film works, Jackie Chan revealed "Combine action with a little romance.",this is his new attempt.

　

"The most important thing is that we should always have love in our hearts, love your country, love your family, love the world and hope for world peace!" This is exactly what we know about Jackie Chan. Apart from Kung Fu comedies, there are also themes conveyed by all his films:There is love in my heart.

The following is an exclusive interview record:

Q: You were awarded the Albert R. Broccoli Prize of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in recognition of your contribution to the entertainment industry on a global scale. You are still very excited and shared this good news with us at the first time. What is your deepest feeling about winning this honor?

　

Jackie Chan:The feeling is that these 59 years of groping can win recognition, influence fans all over the world and bring them happiness, which is the greatest glory for a filmmaker. Especially for action filmmakers, this process is more difficult, and they have to pay more than others. Sweat, tears, blood, injuries accumulated all the year round, and uninterrupted tests of life and death, and the struggle to this day is actually to win more applause and respect on the world stage.

　 　　

I feel that I am winning awards for all action filmmakers, and all the honors are telling them that the hard work and persistence of efforts will not be in vain. I have never thought of giving up, and I have never forgotten my goal when I entered the industry in my sixties. I hope our younger generation can catch up as soon as possible, so that our kung fu movies can be carried forward.

Q: We noticed that the Albert R. Broccoli Prize emphasized your innovation in action comedy. What’s your experience on this?

　 　　

Jackie Chan:If you don’t innovate, you can’t go far, especially in movies and kung fu movies. In the 1970s and 1980s, when Hong Kong’s films were booming, kung fu films were started everywhere, but after several years of filming, there was no market. That was because the audience was tired of repeated creation, the filmmakers’ ideas dried up, and there was no new experience. At that time, if you couldn’t think of ways to innovate, you would be suicidal. In fact, our road at that time was fought back with our lives, and the action was brought to the limit, so that more people could not think of it, and the audience should have more experiences that they had never had before. Therefore, every film is innovating, and it will have different performances. Especially after facing the world market, you must ensure that there are absolutely new methods, so as to continuously win the trust of the audience.

Because, Kung Fu movies are at war with film technology, and film technology has developed to omnipotence, which can create unimaginable visual wonders, enable ordinary people on the big screen to complete beautiful actions and make a makeover, but Kung Fu movies can only be realized by our own experience of punching one foot and cutting one knife and one gun.

Therefore, we must ensure continuous innovation, give people a non-repetitive experience, and not disappoint the audience. I have persisted for decades until now, and I still dare not slack off in my sixties, and I still have to keep trying new things.

Q: You are now the business card of China films on the world stage, and your influence on the global scale is far-reaching. While you persistently promote Chinese culture, what experiences have you shared with our domestic filmmakers? What are the difficulties for China films to truly go global now?

　 　 　 　

Jackie Chan:First of all, be yourself. Now the film market in China is getting better and better, and it has become the second largest film market in the world. It has begun to gain unprecedented influence and voice, and it has been given priority attention. This is all because of our own strength. Only when you are strong will you win more respect. Our own films should be confident, pay more attention to our own society and culture. Only in this way can we lay a good foundation and have the confidence to influence the world.

　 　 　 　

Second, we should give full play to our strengths and love our traditions, just as our Kung Fu movies are still popular all over the world today. We have so many excellent traditional cultures and so many outstanding talents that we can promote them to the world with the help of film creation.

　 　 　 　

What’s important is that we should cooperate. If our films want to truly go global, we should achieve it through a lot of cooperation. Cooperation and communication can make our different cultures understood more quickly and eliminate barriers. At the same time, cooperation can also make use of the strengths of others to make up for our own shortcomings, so that our film creation can grow rapidly in a broader world stage. I have always done this myself. In recent years, there have been more and more cooperation with overseas film institutions, whether in the United States, Britain, Russia or India. Every cooperation is a learning experience, in order to let myself know more cultures and do better.
