Re-read the classic

I watched an interview with Jackie Chan in Xiao Shuo the day before yesterday, and suddenly became interested in Jackie Chan's experience, so I found this autobiography mentioned in the program.

This book has a strong sense of dictation. It is not written according to the traditional timeline, but rather casually. It is grouped according to events. Therefore, it can be seen that one thing Jackie Chan mentioned in the article was mentioned by the author from the perspective of a bystander after each chapter, and the stories used in some chapters were repeated, which was a flaw in the reading experience.

After reading the whole book, a relatively three-dimensional Jackie Chan appeared.

I grew up in the Hong Kong Consulate, so my behavior habits are a little different from those of my friends around me. Later, I was sent to master Yu Zhanyuan to study. I was still naughty, but this should be Jackie Chan's happiest time. My other disciples and active Sammo Hung and others. Interestingly, in the Five Lucky Stars series, Sammo Hung is often bullied, but in reality, he is a big brother and often beats his younger brothers. Because they followed the tradition of respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism, their younger brothers could not fight back and had to run away. Jackie Chan also joked that he ran so fast because he was beaten by his brother. Later, Sammo Hung stayed in bed for several months because of an accident. At this time, he ate himself fat, and as a result, he couldn't lose weight any more. However, there was no place for him in the traditional opera repertoire, so he had to leave the troupe and go out to travel, and then enter the film and television circle, bringing his other disciples into the film and television circle one by one.

Jackie Chan started as a martial artist because he dared to seize the opportunity and make a name for himself. But he is after a girl, and the other's father thinks it is useless to be a martial artist, which forces him to reconsider his plan. Later, someone asked him to film and arranged a role, but in the end, the play was in vain, and the whole shooting was like a child's play.

Later, he couldn't play anymore, so he had to go back to Canada and do odd jobs there, but his reputation is still circulating in Hong Kong. One day, Luo Wei told him that there was a play to shoot. At that time, Luo Wei was a great director who made Bruce Lee famous, which brought him back to the film and television circle.

After some setbacks, Jackie Chan finally made a name for himself, but the memory of being despised before he became famous was still engraved in his mind, so he did a lot of show-off behaviors that nouveau riche would do, and some things still seemed speechless. However, the turning point in his life also appeared soon. The company planned to enter Hollywood, so he went to America alone. There, he really knew what a big star is and what an actor is. At the same time, he also knew the status of Chinese in American film and television circles and the difference between Hollywood and Hong Kong movies. As a result, he quickly became dissatisfied with the director, and the final film "Killer" did not have any box office.

After Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong, he tried his best to make a name for himself in Hollywood, so he made a series of high-quality kung fu films. Later, Stallone's assistant contacted him and invited him to Stallone's premiere. When he heard the news, he immediately thought that someone was teasing him until he and Stallone's assistant went to America. I first met him on the set. Stallone stood up and applauded.

There are many similar jokes, but what impressed me was his attitude towards money and his practice of filial piety.

He was used to being poor since he was a child, and then he was discriminated against as soon as he entered the business. Coupled with youthful spirit, he did a lot of ridiculous things to show off his wealth. However, after he came into contact with more levels of society, he gradually reflected on his behavior. For example, once, an orphanage invited him to come over several times, but he refused. He ran over and was surprised to find that the children were extremely enthusiastic at the scene. The teacher next to him also said that Jackie Chan had just made a film. Hearing this, he blushed because he had been drinking with his friends last night. Speaking of gifts, he can't even get a gift because all the gifts are bought by his assistants. Jackie Chan felt ashamed, so after a while, he personally chose gifts to visit the children. It is such a short story with strong contrast that gradually educates a young man who doesn't know the limit into a caring artist.

There are two small jokes about filial piety. He said to his old father, after you die, I won't burn paper to worship you, because those are empty, and I will be filial to you now. For example, his father liked to drink, so he bought a lot of red wine for his father, and finally his father died. After he had a child, Fang Zuming once called him to wish him a happy Father's Day, but he severely scolded him: Don't call me on this day, if you really care, just call me every day. The end result is that Fang Zuming, who once called back twice a year, never called back once.

As can be seen from the above short story, Jackie Chan is a man with true temperament. Fortunately, his talent and hard work made him see through many things and gave him the capital to do whatever he wanted.

The last advantage of this book is that it tells many great truths, just like Jackie Chan himself sitting opposite you in Kan Kan. And these big truths are often some sensitive points in interpersonal relationships, even some gray areas that will affect his glorious image.

On the whole, this book is worth reading, and many ideas in it are quite enlightening.
