[主持人]在最近一年,我们在各种大型活动中都能够见到你的身影,给我们印象特别深刻的就是在去年的国庆上,您和成龙大哥一起在人民大会堂的楼顶上所唱的这首《国家》的感觉。去年您来到新华网的时候,我们正在谈论这首《国家》,当时镜头切到人民大会堂楼顶上非常惊艳,您是什么感觉?

  [刘媛媛]当时还有点恐高,但是成龙大哥说你不用紧张,我有功夫,你不用怕,但是更多的还是我们的幸福和激动。因为能够站在那样的舞台上唱歌,对我们两个人来说真是想都没想过会有这样的机会,其实参加国庆60周年最大型的焰火晚会,我们都是无比自豪,我们还能站在那样一个舞台和位置上唱这首歌,主要是因为《国家》这首歌给我们所有人一种力量和信念,还有就是我们国家的一种强大,随着在各个方面取得的非常大的进步,也是全世界所关注的。

  [主持人]我相信《国家》这首歌,你和成龙大哥的演艺不止一遍了,在各种各样的场合中都唱过,那在“十一”那天晚上在人民大会堂的楼顶上唱这首歌的感觉有什么不一样?

  [刘媛媛]那次的感觉真的跟所有的演出都不一样,前几天,真的不怕大家笑话,我几乎每天都睡不好觉。

  [主持人]那首歌那么熟了,而且上次来我们演播室我让您唱,您随口就来了,而且演唱技巧上没有任何难度,为什么紧张?

  [刘媛媛]其实紧张就是怕自己哪个方面做的不完美、不到位。实际上我们晚上演出,但是我们中午12点多就到了,我们在楼顶下面的休息室――四川厅休息,我们俩不断的练背歌词以及搭配,其实成龙大哥久经沙场,在舞台上的表现力是没有问题的,尤其是面对观众的时候,一点儿问题都没有的。尽管如此,我们俩为什么紧张呢?就是觉得这个场合太大了,而且太重要了,而且又是在那样一个位置上唱歌,我俩真的是想了很多,想的太多,所以就会觉得有一些紧张。

  后来我们俩练到最后说行了吧,没问题了,不再练了,休息会吧。但是谁也睡不着,12点多到的,晚上9点多才演,是最后一首压轴的歌曲。一会儿我就说大哥你睡着了吗?一会儿他说你睡着了吗?没有,再唱唱吧,然后又练。那个时候就想怎么练那首歌,其他任何事情对我们来说都已经进入不到我们的思想和脑海里了。所以那个演出真的是太难忘了。

  我印象特别深就是我们俩候场的时候,快到我们的时候,我们俩就站在我们演出的那个地点,上楼顶了。还没到我们的时候,大概前一首歌吧,大哥就不停地,他手上有一个相机,是别人的相机,他就拿起来不停地拍,他自己就兴奋到了自己都无法按捺的情绪了,我可以看的出来,他真的还是有些紧张呢。

  我说大哥,快到我们了,咱们赶紧准备一下。他就好的,好的,他就停不下来自己手上的动作。我们俩扭头看到了整个的天安门广场,真是一片沸腾的海洋。我也是,当时兴奋的都说不出话来了,都热泪盈眶了,就希望这个时刻我们俩的表现,他年纪更大一些,应该说是艺术生涯当中,一定要做到最好的一次,太隆重了那个场合。所以至今想到这件事,说到这件事,我都是兴奋不已。

Jackie off to Cambodia?

Jackie Chan, one of the most easily-recognisable faces in world cinema, will be strutting his stuff in Siem Reap and Cambodia in July for nearly two weeks as he brings his film-making roadshow to the Kingdom. I've heard different versions of what the film is about though information that emerged recently suggested it will be called Cambodia Landmine, a drama-comedy with a $25 million production budget, to be directed by Ding Sheng. Though at the time filming was scheduled for February next year. Chan first visited Cambodia in 2004 to promote awareness of HIV/Aids, in 2005 to focus on landmines and was back a few months ago to give a lecture and to get permission to film at Angkor Wat. He's known as Chin Long amongst the Cambodian community and to the world for his acrobatic fighting style, his innovative stunts and his comic persona.

Oldies but Goodies

I was digging around the internet this morning, and as usual looking for other information when I came across these old but still good articles:

Q & A with Jackie Chan


He's the guy who dangled from a helicopter, slid down a 21-story building and jumped off a cliff onto a hot air balloon. But nothing took more courage for superstar Jackie Chan than facing a college audience and speaking in English. It was a first-time experience for the actor whose dangerous stunts and comedic genius have made him a global hero.

"I'm really, really nervous," he told a cheering crowd. "I'm honored and scared." Jackie was about to shake things up at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, a sedate southern university with a Colonial flavor. He was there at the invitation of Mitchell Reiss, Dean of International Affairs and Director of the Reves Center for International Studies.

The Center was sponsoring a week-long Jackie Chan film festival (students got one college credit for attending and writing a paper) and Reiss wanted to cap it with Jackie in the flesh. "It was a daunting challenge for him," Reiss says, but Jackie finally agreed to show up as long as he didn't have to give a speech. (It's one of the two things he's afraid of. The other is needles). He settled for an afternoon question and answer session with the students.

Tickets were free and became a hot item. Most were distributed at the College and a limited number were offered to the public. They got snapped up in 15 minutes. Some people camped out overnight in sleeping bags to be first in line.

You could feel the excitement in the huge athletic hall hung with W & M banners, where a temporary stage had been set up flanked by two screens. The lights went down and the screens came alive with a montage of clips from Jackie's films

By the time Jackie made his entrance, the college crowd had warmed to a fever pitch. He was greeted with clapping, cheering and stomping feet. Jackie broke into a big grin, grabbed the mike and confessed how nervous he was. "Right now my heart is beating. I'm 37 years in the film business, doing stunts, difficult actions and I'm never scared." He wasn't sure he had anything to say to "well-educated students," but he decided "if I do not try once, I never try in my whole life. I'm not going to die. Today I'm here!"

Jackie is wearing a black silk suit and a simple white T-shirt. He looks slim, tanned, very fit and smaller than he appears on screen. He talks a blue streak in his charming English (a challenge for the woman using sign language whose fingers are flashing nearby), and he never seems to stand still.

The stage is an arena where he jabs, kicks and leaps, twists into animal poses, shoots an imaginary gun, blocks a punch, does a flip (screams from the audience) and dances. He also sings, but that comes later.

Jackie has them in the palm of his hand for more than an hour. He is funny, modest, endearing and down-to-earth. He talks openly about his tough childhood, his brutal training at the Hong Kong opera school, Hollywood's attempt to turn him into Clint Eastwood 20 years ago, his involvement with all aspects of film making from camera angles to editing, and his insistence that there are "no sex things, no F-words, no dirty jokes" in his family-oriented movies.

Reiss shuffles a handful of index cards with previously submitted questions, and Jackie tells an audience of 3,000 that he's "come here to learn something. Now gimme the questions!"

Q&A with Jackie
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME AN ACTOR?
It's a story that begins when he's left by his parents at the Hong Kong Beijing Opera School when he was only 6 1/2 years old. He remembers the tough training there, practicing from 5 a.m. to noon and not allowed to go to the bathroom. "You couldn't pee in the morning, because your sweat was the pee."

He became a child actor in Hong Kong at the age of seven and began to love making movies, because, "I have one lunch box and can eat by myself, and I'm away from training and can sleep." When he left the opera school at 17, and became a "low-class stuntman. I make $10 a day, $20 for a dangerous stunt. It takes me four months to save up for one pair of Levis." His dream was to become a stunt coordinator.

YOU'RE A HERO TO MANY PEOPLE. WHO IS YOUR HERO?
"Superman and Batman when I was young, my Master and Bruce Lee. Now my real heroes are Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. Also Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Really geniuses."

CAN YOU SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF MARTIAL ARTS?
This sets off a display of Jackie's skills as he runs through various styles he's studied over the years, from traditional kung fu, to the influence of Bruce Lee, to his transition from Chinese martial arts to action/comedy. "I kept on changing from old kung fu, to difficult action to dangerous stunts. Don't learn from me," he warns. "This is not for young kids."

WILL YOU EVER PLAY A VILLIAN? IT DID A LOT FOR JET LI.
"Jet Li took his chance, but he's a role model in Asia and they don't like Mel Gibson beating up on Jet Li." Jackie says he turned down the role of a bad guy in a Michael Douglas film and the part of a drug dealer in Sylvester Stallone's proposed Rambo IV, "because so many children in Asia watch me."

COULD HE SING "WAR?"
Jackie laughs. "I'm a very good singer, but not rap." He learned English from TV news and listening to country music, he says. In country songs "they speak slowly, so you can understand." He sings a bit of Willie Nelson's "You Were Always on My Mind" (more screams) and croons a few bars of the Elvis classic, "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You." He IS a good singer.

DOES HE WORRY ABOUT HURTING HIMSELF AS HE GETS OLDER?
"Editing helps your career. That's why I'm still here. I know how to fight and I know camera angles." He illustrates one technique. At 30 when you fight, you take one step backwards, at 40 you take two steps, at 50 or 60 ten steps back! Editing is the most important. That's the trick."

WERE YOU EVER CHALLENGED TO A FIGHT?
"Long time ago in Hong Kong. After I changed character and played the underdog in movies-two people I fight, four and I run away-nobody challenged me."

DO YOU PREFER MAKING MOVIES IN HONG KONG, THE U.S. OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?
I like Hong Kong because you have control and can just go out and do it. American is more professional, make sure the actor is safe, but sometimes when it takes too long, the mood is gone."

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Jackie hesitates and looks almost shy. He searches for the right word and says it in Chinese for his cameraman to translate. Then he faces the crowd and says humbly, "I want to be a scholar. When I was young I didn't understand how important is education. I was gambling, fooling around. Who cares? Education is important now and especially in the future." He still needs help reading English and is struggling to learn about computers.

WILL THERE BE A SEQUEL TO RUSH HOUR?
"Yes, it will start filming this year with Chris Tucker. It will be shot in Hong Kong, China, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas. You can imagine Chris Tucker in Hong Kong. That's MY hood, not his hood."

Jackie Chan Answers alot of questions!!! Rambo 4, The Accidental Spy, Drunken Master 2 + More!!!Folks, Harry here with our Guy on the site of a fairly rare live Jackie Chan talk... Personally, would it not be the coolest thing in the world to take Jackie Chan into the toughest bar in the world... get drunk and just watch him kick ass with various bar stools, pool cues, bowls of peanuts and beer bottles? Sigh... It is just a dream. hehehe... Anyway, if you're a Jackie Chan fan... this is the report for you... He spills on quite a bit. Personally I'm not looking forward to the new score on DRUNKEN MASTER 2... Especially since that score was BEAUTIFUL as it was. Here's Guy...

Hello internet movie buffs!

I just got back to my dorm room from a Q&A session with the man, Jackie Chan. He's at William and Mary down here in Williamsburg, VA for parent's weekend, which is amazing since we don't get many celebrity speakers. Apparently this was the first time he had spoken at a college or university before. Naturally he was amazing! Very energetic and happy to be in front of a crowd of rabid college fans. He said far too many interesting details about his life and his work to mention here so I'll hit the highlights (and be sure to check out bullet point #11):

1) Rush Hour 2 begins shooting Nov 6 in Hong Kong. The shooting schedule has him and Tucker travelling to San Francisco, LA, New York and Vegas. Apparently this time out the roles will be reversed with Tucker being the fish out of water in Hong Kong. As Jackie put it "This time he's in my 'hood!"

2) He had been approached a few years ago about playing the bad guy in Rambo 4, but turned it down since he feels that alot of kids look up to him and he wants to be a good role model, ergo he never plays the villian. This time though it was especially hard for him to turn down since he has always admired Stallone (he told a very moving anecdote about how Rocky really did change the course of his life) and really wanted to work with him. Additionally the character was a drug dealer and Jackie has a very personal reason for not wanting to play any character associated with drugs (his father made him promise to never do drugs and he takes the promise very seriously). Apparently though, the feeling was mutual and Stallone is supposed to be working on a revised script in which Jackie and Rambo are both good guys.

3) Along similar lines as #2, he had been offered a chance to play the villian in a Michael Douglas movie in the 80s. He was really torn, but again decided to turn it down because he wanted to continue to be a good role model.

4) When asked about working with Sammo Hung again, he said that he and Sammo have talked about the idea, but that it probably wouldn't be until next year as both are very busy.

5) The person he'd most like to work with is Jodie Foster since her career reminds him a lot of his own (child actor -> actor -> director).

6) He's very, very excited about the pending wide US release of Drunken Master 2 since he's very proud of the final scene, and he says it will be the first chance that a wide audience will have to see "a real Hong-Kong style action film" since most of the other films of his that have made it over here have been seriously Americanized. In this regard he particular wants people to note the long takes and full-body shots that make the audience realize that these fights are real, not the result of alot of editing tricks. He also mentioned that the film will be graced with a new score and dub.

7) Along similar lines he really loves his saturday morning cartoon on the WB since it introduces young kids to him. He also made certain that all the kids know what the real-life Jackie Chan looks like.

8) His idols include Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Bruce Lee, and his master at the opera school.

9) He tends to prefer Hong Kong style filmaking since there's less waiting around, more doing. He said on Rush Hour he found it some what annoying that every time he wanted to do a stunt it would have to be cleared by the safety people and producers. He did say though he thought the technical quality (film stock, sound editing, etc) of American films were much better. He mentioned that over the past few years he's been trying to meld the American and Hong Kong styles. He also noted that every year he puts out an American film (Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon) and a Hong Kong film (Rumble in the Bronx, Who am I?).

10) Jackie gave a lengthy talk about martial arts styles, punctuated be several demonstrations! He mentioned that in his early films he used more traditional, and more beatiful looking styles. More recently he's been working on faster, modern style fights, but he'd like to use some of the old stuff again (another reason he's very happy about the Drunken Master 2 rerelease). He also talked about adapting his style as he gets older to allow for the fact that even he isn't quite as agile as he used to be.

11) Just to make this report go to 11 Chan ended with an exclusive first look at the trailer to his new film, The Accidental Spy, which he also directed. It's set in Turkey, and has Chan through as series of plot twists ending up as a spy. He didn't know yet if the film would get released over here or not. The trailer had some amazing action including a funny bit with Jackie getting pushed around on a slippery floor like an air-hockey puck, the usual fast-and-furious kung fu, some neet car chases and a terrific number with a giant white tarp that drew great applause. Looks to be a terrific film!

So there you have it! Truly a great day down here in Va!

新浪娱乐讯 本月23日,成龙北京慈善基金会向下设立的专项基金的“林鹏基金”的第一个项目——“龙子心”图书室建设活动今日启动。担任大使的林鹏带着成龙大哥 的任务,亲自带队远赴甘肃省文县考察校址,期间正值林鹏的爷爷去世,奔丧期间,但是林鹏为了慈善事业,义无反顾的投身到考察队伍当中。

林鹏自从出道以来,一直秉承着大哥成龙的慈善理念,很积极的投身于慈善事业当中以来。这次的“龙子心”图书室筹建活动,是和中国人保合作,共同为受灾的学生们建造一个完善,权威的读书环境,为他们建造一个良好的成长环境。

首站探访林鹏带着队伍来到了甘肃省文县,从九寨沟机场下飞机,历时4个多小时的辗转,到达了文县周边,“龙子心”水坝小学的建设地址。到了现场,林鹏就被现场的状况震撼到。整个学校的建设还毫无成型,校址的地基还刚刚建起,学校的操场还被施工的临时宿舍占据着。林鹏和校长交流得知,这个校址从2008年地震以来,一直未被好好的建设,学生们还在隔壁邻居的厂房临时拿来当教室,教室是露天的,遇到下雨的天气,学生们只能撑着雨伞在教室里上课,而冬天,也只能多加几件衣服和火炉来取暖。由于条件的原因,学生们已经好久都没有上过体育课了,路途的遥远,也使得许多学生需要从10公里以外的家里赶到这个临时的教室来学习。这一些点点滴滴,都记录在了林鹏的心里。

校长说到,这个学校,按照规划执行,将来会建设6间教室,4间教室办公室,除了现在正在就学的70多名学生外,将来会容纳村子的600多名学生前来就学。而目前仅仅存在的6名教师资源,将来也会扩大。由于2008年那次地震,甘肃省受灾最严重的就是文县,许许多多的除了校舍以外的各种设施也需要重建。对于这个学校,期间也是经过了校长的多次沟通,才得来了这一次次的成果,可见校舍的建设之路困难重重

这次校舍的建设,是基于9级抗震的基础建设的,完全是为了确保给学生们一个踏实,安全的学习环境。当然由于地域的原因,许多建设材料需要从远在20多公里以外的县城来运输。

  林鹏的探访,也引来了许多当地居民的重视,他们都希望能为自己的儿女将来能有一个良好的学习环境。林鹏在现场很多事情都亲力亲为,亲自与校长沟通,查看教室,并且与现场的孩子互动,给他们糖果吃,孩子们的乐观和村民们的热情也深深打动了林鹏,很是希望尽自己最大的努力为他们的未来做出自己的一份贡献。

  通过这次探访,林鹏知道,这虽然是自己的专项基金活动的一个开始,但是将来还有很长的一段路要走,她也会一直秉承的大哥的信念,尽自己最大的一份努力,将慈善活动一直进行到底。

Millenium Development Goal Video Contest

While not being quite certain precisely what these types of things achieve beyond giving people a voice - I am however 100% behind the Millennium Development Goals.

You can read more about the MDG's through these links:

UN invites ‘Citizen Ambassadors’ to film anti-poverty goals in action


23 June 2010 – The United Nations launched today a video contest inviting people from around the world, particularly youth, to tell leaders what the anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) mean to them by uploading short films on the UN YouTube channel.

“Use your voice as a global citizen to tell world leaders in a short video what you think needs to be done to make this world a better and safer place,” the contest website reads, featuring messages from Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassadors Angelique Kidjo and Youssou N’Dour.

Additional videos featuring UN Messengers of Peace Stevie Wonder and Princess Haya of Jordan, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors Lionel Messi and Jackie Chan, and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Goodwill Ambassador Maria Sharapova, will be posted throughout the contest.

Starting today and until 23 August, people will be able to upload short videos answering questions such as “What is your community, city or country doing to achieve the Millennium Development Goals?” or “How can the international community better work together to achieve the Millennium Development Goals?”

The six winners will be announced during the high-level MDG summit in New York hosted by the Secretary-General on 23 September, and will meet with him on UN Day 2010 on 24 October.

The campaign – organized by the Department of Public Information (DPI) in partnership with YouTube, UNDP, the UN Foundation (UNF), French broadcaster TV5Monde and with support from Flip Video – is part of a UN initiative to utilize the Internet and social media “to engage a new generation of world citizens in the importance of international diplomacy.”

In a related development, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched today the annual MDG assessment report. It showed that while countries continue to make advances despite the global economic downturn, the rate of improvement remains too slow and countries must step up their efforts if the MDGs are to be achieved by their target date of 2015.

The MDGs will be discussed at the G-20 meeting in Toronto, Canada, this weekend, and at a special high-level summit at the UN Headquarters in New York.

Jackie's Hands

I went on a small spree searching for Jackie photos yesterday and came across this photo of a casting of Jackie's hands! I have no idea where this is or when this cast was made but it's really cool.

Jackie Tops $1 Billion at Box Office Mojo

Jackie's lifetime earnings for the US box office topped $1 Billion on Friday. The latest figure from Box Office Mojo is $1,000,731,739.

He made Brett Ratner a 'Billion Dollar Director' with the bulk (around $600 million) coming from the Rush Hour Franchise so is there something special when you are a 'Billion Dollar Actor'?

Of course these are just US Box Office results; Jackie's real life-time earnings from all his movies worldwide exceed $2 Billion.

I must say that what has shocked me, reading his statistics on Box Office Mojo, is how few of his movies have actually been released in the USA. I am sure that if they had to add in all the straight-to-DVD earnings it will be much more. What a shame that is.

Jackie, Ajia, Music Videos

Interesting little article about the making of the videos for Love Flying and Calling - the two songs with a strong environmental message Jackie collaberated with Ajia to record.

Jackie Chan Contributes to Music for Charity, Appointed "Sixth Generation Director" Zhang Yang Takes the Helm Behind the MV

Recently, the MVs for the charity songs 'Love Flying' and 'Calling', a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Ajia, which are currently playing nation-wide have been causing another wave of charity in the country. These two MVs were filmed by the famous director Zhang Yang who has once received the title of 'Top Ten Most Outstanding Film Portrayal'. He has frequently promoted his works as a showcase for European culture, many of which have received good reviews.

'Calling' and 'Love Flying' have reflected the issue of environmental conservation through the songs themselves and the MVs. Ever since their release, they have received the support and praise from people passionate about charity and the environment. International megastar Jackie Chan, who has always been passionate about charity and has a love for donating, used the production of these two songs to call for everybody's participation in charity through music. He specially invited the famous "sixth generation director" Zhang Yang to film the MVs for both songs. Response has been good since the release of the MVs as Zhang Yang used his own unique filming style, perfectly displaying the different concepts of the songs.

In recent weeks, Jackie Chan has used many charity and environmental events to support his charity and environment career and to call for society to promote the spirit of "giving, loving, helping, improving". The two MVs in which he personally performed in have rapidly become hits on major websites. Zhang Yang praised Jackie Chan and said that he admires his relentless spirit on calling for public awareness on charity and wishes to do his part by spreading this spirit to the entire society. Zhang Yang also stated that love and charity are our responsibility as part of giving back to society which was the most important message and attitude he wanted to convey through the production. He further stated that he will continue to participate in the filming of other charity productions with the hope that he would be able to spread the spirit of love and harmony to the public through his lense as an effort to contribute to charity.

腾讯娱乐讯 6月17日,成龙率唐季礼、周华健、刘承俊、新七小福等人为自己担任出品人的史实电视剧《岳飞》进行宣传活动。据悉,这部成龙唐季礼等人精心筹划10年之久的电视剧将为“岳家新军”和“金家新军”在全球范围内招募演员。不过当问及剧中主要角色的演员和剧情时,成龙等人却集体封口,声称要留到最后揭晓。

全球招募“岳金新军”

“岳金新军”训练营全球网络招募活动在17日召开的史诗巨制《岳飞》的新闻发布会上正式启动。此次的招募活动是《岳飞》剧组面向全球为剧中两支优良战队——岳家“新军”金家“新军”甄选演员。所有人均可登录招募活动官网报名,而最终甄选出来的精英们在经过全方位培训后,将有机会参演《岳飞》。

新七小福队长王海祥和韩国演员刘承俊将分别出任“岳家新军”和“金家新军”这两支队伍的教头,对甄选出来的演员进行为期半年的训练。而唐季礼作为《岳飞》的总监制及武术指导,对于岳家“新军”和金家“新军”这两支队伍有着十分深刻的见解:“他们是忠心不二的战士,不畏生死勇往直前。其实不论什么时候,这种精神都是我们所需要的。”

另外,唐季礼还表示“我们通过招募的方式来甄选演员,初衷不仅仅是简单的选秀,更是希望参演《岳飞》的演员们,都能深刻的了解 “岳飞”的忠义精神与文化内涵。”

成龙懒理好坏父亲名号

有关岳飞的故事在中国可谓家喻户晓,而在所有有关岳飞的传说中,“岳母刺字”更是妇孺皆知。因此,电视剧《岳飞》将如何表现岳飞的家庭和个人也成了媒体关注的焦点。不过成龙等人却都卖起了关子,声称要将悬念保留到最后,“给大家一个惊喜”。

而当有媒体就此问及成龙自己的家庭生活和父亲角色时,成龙也实话实说,“问我是不是好父亲。我觉得很难回答。就像之前说我从来没有接送过房祖名上学放学,可我这些时间都在外面拼命闯事业。如果我天天就这么接他上学放学,那就不可能有我成龙今天的成就。我觉得我打拼事业也是在为孩子为家庭。所以说,是不是好父亲这个问题还是留给别人评价会比较好。”

Harald Zwart Talks The Karate Kid

Interesting interview:

With The Karate Kid opening number one this weekend Harald Zwart must be feeling pretty good about himself! The innocence and epic nature of the this remake seemed to be no match for the off-the-cuff comedic violence of The A-Team.

Zwart may be known in the US for The Pink Panther 2 and internationally for Long Flat Balls I and II, but he’s yearned for some time to do something less silly and humorous, and something more artistic and dare I say epic. He jumped at the chance to join the Smith family in “retelling” the classic story in a beautiful, new way.

Even before the release of the film, Zwart was confident that his film would be a success with viewers…


How does it feel to go against another classic remake of The A-Team?

Harald Zwart: I’m feeling pretty good. We rely on tracking. We are going to do really well. The reviews have been terrific; everything I have read today. I am just totally confident that when people are in the theater they will have a great experience. Every screening we have had ended with applause and cheering, so I am feeling really good about that.

This film had the possibility of being cheesy, but you managed to avoid that. Was it important to you to develop the story and take your time with it?


HZ: Yes. This film is much more true to my own desire of filmmaking. It is much more of how I really am. When I came across the project, this was my opportunity to show a much more artistic and much more emotional movie, which is something I have always wanted to do. I actually feel the best doing.

When I came into the meeting, I came in with all the artistry that I thought the movie should have. I designed the whole shadow theme on the wall. I built a model of Han’s house so I could demonstrate to the studio how the shadows were going to play on the wall. I did that with a little flashlight.

How was it trying to combine the history of China and the ancient art of Karate with normal teenagers today and pop music?

I love the fact that I have [Fryderyk Franciszek] Chopin and Lady Gaga in the same movie, it is all the stuff that I bring with me that I have always wanted to have in a movie. I was also working really hard to make it visually interesting. I think what I told Will and the studios is that I want to treat this like an independent movie. I want to shoot it like an independent movie where you do take your time on the characters and it has an absolute realism and authenticity. I want to shoot on the real streets in China. I don’t want to do studios and set up extras. I just want to be right there in the middle. I want the fights to be completely realistic. That was my approach to the whole thing. Luckily, the producers, Overbrook, and the studios felt the same way, so we always pulled the same train in that sense.

The fight scenes were pretty realistic for a PG-13 movie, was that important to you that you could really feel the punches?

HZ: Yeah. I was never a fighter, but like any young boy I ended up in street confrontations. The fact is that no matter what age you are, whether you are young or a grown up, that stuff is as scary for anybody. I wanted to have that realism totally reflected in the movie. There is no filter where we go, “It’s just a kids movie. Should we do it this way or that way?” It doesn’t matter. I never looked at it as a kids’ movie. It was a movie with kids is how I looked at it. I wanted the fights to be just like they were with The Bourne Identity or The Bourne Supremacy.

Can you tell us about working with charismatic Jayden Smith?

HZ: Jayden was on board before I became on board. He is part of the reason why I thought the movie was a great idea. He is fantastic. He photographs unbelievably well. He is such a beautiful child. He has a mature soul. He has a very mature aura about him. He has a great sense of humor and he is incredibly focused. I think he was the hardest working person on our crew. Nobody worked more hours than him. He had to train everyday, he had to train between takes, he had to learn Chinese, and learn his lines. I just have such huge respect for him and still he always maintained his sense of humor. He is much like his dad.

And what was it like working with Will Smith behind the camera?


[Will] as a producer is a dream for a director. There was just constant motivation with positive energy. As a director you are always looking for perfection, but sometimes you are limited by the producers. They tell you to move on and it is good enough, but it was never that. It was always, “Let’s make it the absolute best we can, and we are not going to stop until we got it.” For a director, that is just a dream. I had such a good time working with them.

Did you feel like this is a remake or like you are introducing the film to the newer generation in a whole new way?


HZ: Well this is part of the reason people are skeptical to us remaking it. I always say that I am not remaking the original movie. I am retelling a story. I think it is a story that deserves to be retold because it is such a great life lesson for young people. It is such a motivating movie and you learn so much from it that it deserves to be retold again. We have honored the original one, and we sort of homage it.

It seems to work well for both those who have seen it and those who have not seen it.


HZ: I keep hearing that too. After ten minutes, people forget that it is a remake.

In the film we get to see more of Jackie Chan’s serious side, was that something he wanted to show or that you pushed out of him?

HZ: We always wanted to go deep with the character. When I met Jackie for the first time, I saw right away that he is a man with the heart in the right place. He is very emotional and a very connected man. He wanted to go that mile himself, so it was kind of a mutual thing. He always wanted to go to that place himself, but I think that people will see that he isn’t only a movie star, he is also a great actor.

I had taken a picture of a guy in the street in Beijing; a man on a bicycle with. I thought that was the character. He had that leather hat, the blue jacket, and the button up t-shirt. I showed it to Jackie and told him, “That is your character.” This is the man, but you have to cut your hair. He said, “I never cut my hair for a movie.” I said, “Well this is the guy. I need you to look like this. You can’t have that full set of hair. You need to look a lot more like the tired, soulful character.” Then he said, “Okay. I’ll cut my hair only for you” (laughs).

Young at Heart or Still a Kid?

Jackie may be youthful in both body and spirit but a 'kid' he is not but I have to laugh at the idea that he thought they were offering him the part of the kid in Karate Kid.

Only in Hollywood
Jackie Chan still a kid at 56

LOS ANGELES—-JACKIE CHAN is 56, but he’s young in spirit. When Jackie’s manager told him that his friend, actor and producer, Will Smith, offered him to be in an update of “The Karate Kid,” the Hong Kong star thought for a minute that he would play the “kid” title role.

Jackie, smiling and animated as usual in our latest encounter, recalled, “I said, ‘Good. Am I the karate kid?’ My manager said, ‘No, no, no. You’re the teacher.’ Honestly, sometimes I forget how old I am.” We believe him. Ever friendly and energetic, Jackie is youthful in his demeanor.

Versatile

“I really forget my age,” said the versatile Jackie, who’s also a director, stunt choreographer, martial arts hero, singer and producer. To Jaden Smith, Will’s son who is the “kid” in the update of the 1980s hit, Jackie is the “master.”

Jackie stood up (as he did several times during our interview to demonstrate something) and pretended to climb up. Then, he said, “Sometimes, when I’m standing somewhere high, my students try to catch me, in case I fall (he showed how they spread their arms). They say, ‘Careful.’ I’m not that old, but I forget. Then, I realize, wow, I’m 50-something already. Sometimes, I want to be young again. But, I’m happy.” And, with those words, he broke into hip-hop moves he learned from Jaden.

In turn, Jaden learned quite a few stunts from his master. “When I teach Jaden, he learns everything so fast,” Jackie revealed. “I taught him how to do the flip. Jaden asked, ‘What are you doing?’ I said to him, ‘Trust me. Lie down, boom! Okay, do that too.’ He’s a young kid—he’s a quick learner.”

In narrating how he was cast in “The Karate Kid,” which was coproduced by Will and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jackie brought up what he considered a curious Hollywood habit. “I remember a few years ago, I was in Japan,” he said. “I was eating in a restaurant. Somebody told me, ‘You know who’s outside? Will.’ So, I went out and saw Will. He said to me, ‘We should make a movie.’ I replied, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’”

He added, “In Hollywood, so many people told me in the last 10 years, ‘Let’s do a movie together.’ It never happened. Slowly, I learned the American way. So, I just go, ‘Okay, bye bye.’ Then, I turn around.”

“But, in Will’s case, one year later, my manager got a call from him,” he recalled. “Will wanted me to do ‘The Karate Kid.’”

After months of filming in China, the movie opens this weekend in the US, the Philippines and other countries. The moviegoing public will decide whether “The Karate Kid” is a worthy update of the blockbuster that starred Ralph Macchio and the late Pat Morita.

When we told Jackie that Jaden, 11, said in a separate interview that his favorite Jackie Chan movie is “Drunken Master,” he reacted by saying, “I really like ‘Drunken Master 2.’ Why? Because I corrected something there. When I was young, I didn’t know a lot. ‘Drunken Master’ seemed to tell children, ‘The more I drink, the more I can fight.’ I thought, ‘No, it’s the wrong message.’ How can you teach children to drink and fight? I did ‘Drunken Master 2’ with the message, ‘Don’t drink, don’t fight.’ That made me happy. I corrected myself. I’m still learning. I know there are many children watching my movies, so I have to be careful.”

Importance

Jackie also shared that he learned the importance of the story in movies. “The story should be first in importance,” he said. “Not like in the old days. Thirty years ago, action was first. We didn’t care about quality or the script. Now, it’s different. I found that out after watching ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’—the whole movie is a drama, but suddenly, there was one punch in the bar. I said, ‘Wow.’ Everyone was clapping. In my old movies, I fought for half an hour and nobody clapped. The audience got tired seeing me still fighting. I already got 200 kicks, and I was still standing. But, in ‘An Officer,’ there was just one punch and, boom! I realized how important the story was, and how to mix it with action to make it work.”

Hollywood may have been slow to embrace Jackie’s trademark action style. But, the star eagerly recalled the day when he realized he was making an impact on American action movies: “I remember when I saw Sylvester Stallone,” Jackie stated. “He said, ‘Hi Jackie. Come to my trailer. Look at this.’” Jackie demonstrated how Sylvester pointed at a video monitor. “Stallone told me, ‘When we run out of ideas, we just look at your video.’ That made me so proud!”

Interesting Interview with Taraji Henson



Taraji P. Henson Interview: The Karate Kid, Beijing Culture and Working for Will Smith

Taraji P. Henson plays Jaden Smith’s mother in The Karate Kid, opening June 11, 2010. Unlike the original incarnation of the film where Daniel moves with his single mother from Newark to Los Angeles, this updated version of the classic portrays Taraji’s character, Sherry Parker, uprooting her son Dre (Jaden Smith) to Beijing where martial arts are a way of life.

In many ways the storyline of The Karate Kid reflects Henson’s own life as a young single mother who moved with her young son across the country to California with the hopes of launching a film career. For Taraji P. Henson the risk paid off. One Oscar nomination and close to twenty film credits later, Taraji has hit her professional stride. Though I suspect it wasn’t always a cakewalk for the Howard University graduate.

Taraji P. Henson achieved instant recognition from Hollywood with her portrayal of Brad Pitt’s devoted adoptive mother in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. And as she expressed to me during our interview, she is attracted to roles that reflect her own life history.

Signing on to be a part of the 2010 version of The Karate Kid was not just another acting job, but a true adventure for the actress. The Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith-led production team took their entire cast and crew half way around the world to the city of Beijing, China. While there, all of the American actors had to learn to work alongside Chinese performers and Chinese production crew members who spoke little to no English. The production also had to work within the parameters of a Communist government to obtain permission to shoot at many landmark locations, such as China’s Great Wall.

During our chat, Taraji filled me in on bonding with Jaden Smith and the entire Smith family, taking in Beijing culture beyond the mapped out tourist attractions, and her early life as a young single mom from DC with a dream.

PR.com (Allison Kugel): How long were you in Beijing, and were you able to bring your son along for the trip?

Taraji P. Henson: I was there for three months, and yes, I had my son there with me for three weeks because of course he had to come back to the states and go back to school. It just worked out perfectly that he was on summer break.

PR.com: You shot The Karate Kid last summer?

Taraji P. Henson: Yes, last summer. I got there the beginning of July and I didn’t leave until October.

PR.com: What was it like having to live there for a while and immerse yourself into the Chinese culture?

Taraji P. Henson: At first when you land, it’s like “Oh my God, I’m so excited!” You’re there for awhile and then you realize it’s a communist country and you ain’t in Kansas City anymore, you know? I kind of take on things sometimes, and I felt myself a little depressed sometimes. I had to snap myself out of it. It’s just a different way of living.

PR.com: When I watched the movie it felt like Beijing was this fun, cosmopolitan city. But you really felt the black cloud of communism over your everyday living when you were there?

Taraji P. Henson: Well I won’t say that, because if you stick to the touristy attractions, no. But I’m always the one to venture off. I like to go to where the people live and to where the pulse of the city is, the people who make the city run. So I was all in the hutongs. I ventured off the beaten path. And that’s when you can feel the weight. And then I started talking to a lot of the locals. They smile, but you know, it’s like when you’ve lived a certain way and then you go to different cultures. It’s like, dag! You realize how lucky you are! It wasn’t all bad. The people are beautiful. They smile, the cater to you, they really want you to have a good time. The plus side I did see is that because they are not driven by material things, that was the beauty. You know here in America we’re so driven by what kind of car you have, and what kind of house and what kind of shoes and bag you’re carrying. There it’s the bare necessities, and that’s refreshing.

PR.com: And our karma is catching up with us here in the states.

Taraji P. Henson: Uh, yeah ya think (laughs)!

PR.com: The Karate Kid was shot at some pretty spectacular locations, but it was mostly Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith who got to shoot some of those particular scenes. Did you ever go along just to watch?

Taraji P. Henson: Yeah, or days when I wasn’t working I would do my own sightseeing. I went to the Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, The Great Wall of China. Especially when my son was there, that’s when I did all of my sightseeing, because I saw everything incredible. The only place that I didn’t go to was Wutong Mountain where the monks live. I didn’t go there because I had to come back to the states to promote I Can Do Bad All By Myself.

PR.com: Obviously you didn’t have to train for any of the movie’s Kung Fu scenes, but did you take any Kung Fu lessons while you were in Beijing?

Taraji P. Henson: No, I left that up to Jaden (laughs). I’m not really into martial arts. I’m a lover, not a fighter.

PR.com: And what was the name of that Chinese festival that was portrayed in the movie?

Taraji P. Henson: The Light Festival.

PR.com: Was that an actual festival or was that all created for the film?

Taraji P. Henson: No, that was all created. All of that set was built for that scene.

PR.com: Does that festival actually take place every year, or was that fictional as well?

Taraji P. Henson: That was actually a very new soundstage that The China Film Group has over there in Beijing. It’s a studio that they built. So that was actually a back lot that looked like the hutongs. They built it and it’s only used for filming.

PR.com: Both you and Jaden were working with so many Chinese actors. How did you find that cultural gap was when you were working? And did Jackie Chan help to bridge that cultural gap for you with the Chinese actors?

Taraji P. Henson: Jackie Chan absolutely helped to bridge that gap. A lot of the time the extras wouldn’t know what in the world the PAs were saying or what to do, and Jackie would just kind of translate. We also had a translator on the set as well. But it was weird at first. It was always a delayed reaction. They’d go, “Action!” and then they’d have to translate in Chinese, and then we’d all start.

PR.com: Was Will Smith in Beijing with the cast and crew?

Taraji P. Henson: Yes, every day, Will and Jada.

PR.com: Will and Jada Smith were very hands on as producers?

Taraji P. Henson: Very hands on. Any time I had a problem I could call them and they would sort it out. I don’t really have problems (laughs), I’m pretty low maintenance, but that’s how accessible they were. And we continued to rehearse every day too, so that Jaden and I could build a relationship, so before we actually started filming I would see them every day in rehearsals and we would sit and bang out the script and each moment. It was great.

PR.com: What inspired Will Smith to re-make The Karate Kid?

Taraji P. Henson: He was trying to search around and find a perfect vehicle for [Jaden] and then he just thought about this movie. And I thought it was a great idea. I wish I was Jaden (laughs).

PR.com: I love the fact that with the re-make it focused on Chinese culture and Kung Fu rather than Karate. It brought a whole new life to the story of the film. And the landscape of China breathed new life into the story as well.

Taraji P. Henson: Absolutely, because China is a character in this film.

PR.com: That’s how I felt when I saw the film. Were you a fan of the original Karate Kid?

Taraji P. Henson: I still have a crush on Ralph Macchio!

PR.com: Ralph Macchio then or middle aged bloated Ralph Macchio?

Taraji P. Henson: (Laughs) Ralph Macchio then.

PR.com: That was so bad!

Taraji P. Henson: I didn’t say it. You said it (laughs)!

PR.com: Tell me a little bit about the orchestration of the final tournament scene?

Taraji P. Henson: It was a lot of work and I didn’t really have to do anything but sit in the audience and cheer. But China is a very humid part of the world, and I mean humid on levels that are inhuman. I don’t think hell gets that hot. It was excruciating when they would turn the air off and it’s all those people and bodies in there. I really felt for the kids because they had to jump around and do all the martial arts in that heat. And then when you add the lights, it was pretty trying. Kids were getting hurt. The one kid who plays the bully, he got a concussion.

PR.com: During one of the fight scenes?

Taraji P. Henson: During one of the fight scenes, yeah, he fell and hit the back of his head. In that culture they really are perfectionists, and this baby wanted to continue to work and we had to say, “No, you can’t.” He felt bad because he felt like he was letting everybody down. We didn’t care. We wanted him to get better.

PR.com: Were they all extras who were in the stands watching the tournament?

Taraji P. Henson: Yeah, all extras, and that was trying because the director said in English what he wanted, and then we would have to get the translator to come in and translate to all of the extras.

PR.com: You, yourself, are a single mom. And I remember reading about you moving from DC, where you are from, to Los Angeles with your son to pursue your acting career. I couldn’t help but notice the parallels with this character.

Taraji P. Henson: That is what I noticed when I read [the script]. At the time California was my Beijing. It was the unknown world for me. I had visited California when I was two. I moved 3,000 miles away from everything that I knew and loved, and took a chance; just me and my baby.

PR.com: Did your son hit any stumbling blocks in adjusting to your new life in California?

Taraji P. Henson: He was one. He was like, “As long as my mommy’s smiling, I’m smiling.”

PR.com: Is that what attracted you to the role of Sherry Parker in The Karate Kid?

Taraji P. Henson: Absolutely. First, I always have to be attracted to the material. And then I’m a huge fan of The Karate Kid, and just a huge fan of Will and what he has been able to accomplish, and the Smith family in general. And I love Jaden. I just wanted to be a part of it, and why not? Go to another country on someone else’s dime, and you get to work and do what you love to do. That’s what actors dream of.

PR.com: I read that you actually worked at The Pentagon at one point in your life. What was that experience like?


Taraji P. Henson: It was interesting. I guess I really didn’t get where I was working. I knew where it was and all of that, but I really didn’t get it! This might sound really sad, until 9-11. I was like, “Wow. I was working in a place where terrorists target.” It is the Department of Defense, but I couldn’t really fathom the [meaning]. I was a college kid, and I was an art student so I just knew that I had a job and I could go shopping (laughs). You know what I mean? My dad was in the service, but by the time I grew up he was done. He fought in [Viet] ‘nam and things like that, but I didn’t really get it. Yeah, we would have bomb threats and things like that, but again, I was an artist. So when 9-11 happened and they targeted The Pentagon, I was like, “Oh my God! I used to walk down that corridor every day.”

PR.com: The gravity of it suddenly hit you.

Taraji P. Henson: Yes!

PR.com: I know that you can sing. Will you be singing in any upcoming films?

Taraji P. Henson: I should hope so. You can never say never. Singing is something I can do, but it’s not my first passion. I don’t wake up and vocalize every day, but if it’s required of me in a movie, for a character, yeah, I’m all about it. Can never say never, but I don’t know if I’m going to drop an album.

PR.com: How did you go about bonding with Jaden Smith to create that mother/son dynamic that comes across on the screen?

Taraji P. Henson: Before we went away to Beijing, we had rehearsals here in California for like a two week period. That gave us a chance to bond here, and then once we got to Beijing we had more rehearsal time and alone time. Will and Jada, they just created such an easy and free atmosphere and they gave us the space to create that bond. He is like one of my friends for life, that little kid. I love him, and I kind of feel like I’m his mom in a weird way (laughs); a screen mom, if you will.

2010年6月8日 香港 成龙将投资开拍属内地八大经典样板戏的《智取威虎山》,并由徐小明执导,投资约三千万美元,即超过港币二亿以上,并准备以3D制作。而导演徐小明透露此片的详情,表示成龙为了此片不惜把原本给好莱坞电影的档期提早给此片开拍,宁愿延迟好莱坞片的拍摄期,显示他对此片之重视。
