Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...
Wang Yueheng explained with a hint of apology.
"You did nothing wrong. Don't worry, I will contact my friends in the local media to try my best to help you resolve this through public relations."
“Hong Kong Island is quite different from the mainland; it’s very complicated, so it’s always good to be careful.”
"Let's go, I'll show you around my house first, and then we'll take a bus tour of Hong Kong Island!"
After comforting Wang Yueheng, Cheng Long then led him on a tour of his villa.
Besides some calligraphy works gifted by famous calligraphers, his home also has walls adorned with other items.
Some movie stills are also hanging there.
From "Drunken Fist" to "Dragon Gate Brothers" and then to the "Police Legends" series...
Each vintage-looking photo and poster records his painstaking journey in making films over the years.
"I almost died in Yugoslavia while filming 'Dragon Gate Brothers,' and looking at these old objects now feels like it was just yesterday..."
"And these cloth shoes... When we were filming 'Police Legend,' I slipped and fell from a lamppost seven stories high. The rubber soles wore through, and I almost died..."
"Back then, we were really risking our lives when we were filming."
"Unlike now, all you need is a green screen and wires, and you don't even need actors to do it. You can use stunt doubles, and anyone can film an exaggerated fight scene."
"Some young actors would rush to call an ambulance even if they just cut their finger..."
Pointing to the posters on the wall, Jackie Chan couldn't help but recount the thrilling experiences and emotional journey he had when filming these movies.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to rant about some phenomena in the entertainment industry that I find objectionable.
"By the way, I watched your holographic projection performance on Jiangxi TV last night."
"That's really amazing. They can put on a show without even using real people."
"Is it possible that in a few years, all the actors, including those from the Cheng family troupe, will be unemployed working for you?"
When the topic of filming came up, Jackie Chan suddenly turned to Wang Yueheng and asked him with a smile and a joke.
"With the current level of technology, doing that would be very costly. It would be better to just find real actors to film it."
"Moreover, holographic projection software is very complicated to set up and can only be used as an auxiliary means, which is more suitable for shooting short films such as music videos."
Seeing the worry in the other person's eyes, Wang Yueheng comforted the movie star again with the same reason.
It's obvious.
The other party is very worried that under the impact of technological development, the actors of the Cheng Family Troupe will lose their last source of income in the future.
"Oh, that's good. Thank you for giving us actors some chance to survive."
"Let's go, I'll take you for a tour of Hong Kong Island!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Long smiled with satisfaction and said.
Wang Yueheng then boarded a double-decker tour bus that had been waiting outside the villa.
Accompanied by Cheng Long, they headed straight to the city center of Hong Kong Island.
"See that over there? In 1985, when we were filming 'Dragon Heart,' thirty of us jumped off a five-story shipping container."
"Back then, there were no CGI effects, and the demolition expert, Quan, still has scars on his hands to this day..."
As the red double-decker sightseeing bus drove past Tsim Sha Ferry Pier, Cheng Long suddenly patted Wang Yueheng on the shoulder and pointed to the container area.
"So that movie was filmed here."
Wang Yueheng looked in the direction the other person was pointing and saw a crane in the distance hoisting a new container.
At the same time, the thrilling explosion scenes from this movie star's film "Dragon Heart" flashed through my mind.
The bus then followed the planned route, passing by the former site of Kowloon Walled City and the Tuen Mun film set.
Wherever they went, Jackie Chan would tell Wang Yueheng a story about the local history and his experience filming the movie.
The hope is that this trip will provide the singer with more songwriting inspiration, making the trip worthwhile.
