Basic Information of China Zodiac Movies

"Zodiac" is an action adventure movie, which is Jackie Chan's 10 1 movie, directed and produced by Jackie Chan, starring Jackie Chan, Yao Xingtong, Liao Fan, Zhang. Locations include Paris, Beijing, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Australia and Latvia. The film was released in Chinese mainland on February 20th, 1965 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D.

The film tells the story of Jackie Chan, played by Jack, looking for the last four lost animal heads in the Yuanmingyuan Zodiac in order to receive huge bonuses from Lawrence, an international cultural relic dealer. During the treasure hunt, they experienced a series of thrilling situations, which Jack solved one by one. After getting the animal head, Jack was moved by the patriotic feelings of Professor Guan's father and daughter. He always gave up money at the last minute to help Coco save the national treasure, and finally returned the recovered animal head to China.

Brief Introduction to the Story of the Movie "Zodiac"

At that time, the British and French allied forces burned the Yuanmingyuan, which led to a large number of precious cultural relics scattered overseas. Among them, the four animal heads of the Chinese zodiac are the most concerned, which not only caused extensive debates at home and abroad, but also caused collectors to bid for these treasures at a high price. Of course, there are also many evil cultural relics dealers who try to obtain treasures through theft. Taking this as an opportunity, JC Jackie Chan, an international thief on holiday, made a grand appearance.

Behind JC is a super-professional team composed of Simon Quan Xiangyu, David Liao Fan, Bonnie Zhang and others. They went to Paris together to seek the help of Coco Yao Xingtong, a national treasure expert. After careful preparation, JC and others approached the heavily guarded animal head step by step, and a series of thrilling fights and chases inevitably broke out around the treasure. In this process, JC's patriotism, which seems to be annihilated by interests and money, gradually awakens.

Behind-the-scenes highlights of Chinese zodiac movies

The film is an action blockbuster, and the production cost is as high as 300 million RMB, including an action drama with an investment of more than 70 million RMB.

Jackie Chan revealed that he will make action movies in the future, but the movie with fierce fighting will be the last one.

In the filming of Chateau de Paris, Chateau Chantilly, a French national castle, was opened to the crew of Zodiac, which was the first time that the castle was used for action film shooting.

The shooting of the film covers eight countries and regions, all of which are real-life shooting instead of relying on a blue screen.

Several leading actors who followed the crew to the north and south also bluntly said that filming was difficult, and even the tough guy Liao Fan couldn't stand it. It took more than 30 times to shoot a scene. Yao Xingtong also suffered a lot on the set, probably because he suffered too many difficulties. Jackie Chan revealed that he shed tears when he finished filming "Zodiac".

Jackie Chan asked the action scenes in this movie to go beyond the physical limits. He should not only play handsome and beautiful, but also play thoughtful. Every action scene should be performed in a different way. In a thrilling scene in a pulley suit, Jackie Chan himself went into battle and insisted on not using body double.

Jackie Chan is a producer, producer, director, starring, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, photographer, production designer, field director, life producer, lighting, music, props, body double and theme song singer.

Therefore, it also won the Guinness Book of Records for "the filmmaker who did the most things in a movie" and the Guinness Book of Records for "the actor who performed the most stunts".

Secret weapon "roller skating"

The high-tech feature of the film's secret weapon, the pulley suit, was invented and held exclusively by the French roller skater Jean Yves Blondeau and weighed about 17kg. The chest, back, hands, elbows, knees, legs and feet * * * involve 24 pulleys, and the top speed exceeds126km/h. Blondeau himself once successfully challenged the 99th Panshan Mountain in Tianmen Mountain, Hunan Province in a pulley suit.

Long Nvlang's action drama

Although the action scenes in the film are all starring Jackie Chan, most of the scenes are sent by him with the whole class. Although the female doctor played by Yao Xingtong can't do kung fu, she has to travel with her eldest brother. What scares Yao Xingtong most is a scene of "jumping into the sea". Because she was afraid of heights and water, just standing on the top of the boat made her tremble and couldn't jump down, which also made Jackie Chan shout "cheated". Because of his timidity, Yao Xingtong also has a nickname "Screaming Queen" in the regiment. In all films, the fear of encountering thrilling scenes is almost her true color. Jumping off a cliff and screaming are instinctive reactions. Fortunately, this instinct actually helps the performance, which is the most authentic response needed in movies.

Evaluation of China Zodiac Films

Since the official start of filming of "Zodiac", Jackie Chan has taken pains to emphasize that this is his last kung fu film, and the effect is nothing more than two points. One is to create a sense of urgency that "there is no shop after this village", and the other is to arouse the nostalgia of fans. Jackie Chan Kung Fu has taken a back seat in the film, replaced by various high-tech equipment. From the opening of pulley racing to the theft of treasure by paraglider, high-tech equipment and Jackie Chan's desperate performance have the demeanor of China version 007. Netease entertainment review

The film Zodiac is the most attractive and commercially valuable film for the 20 13 Lunar New Year. It should be a "good movie" as opposed to a "good movie". An old Jackie Chan once again challenges the new extreme action. The film is full of comedy elements and involves a lot of risks in the shooting process. It is Jackie Chan's most breakthrough work since he started shooting. New express review

"Zodiac" is not a casual movie. Even the gorgeous actions and funny scenes of Jackie Chan's movies are gone forever, except for the script full of loopholes and the story mode suspected of "eating old money". The plot of "Zodiac" is similar to that of Yu Chenglong's movies in those years, and the plot mode is too far away from today, so it is difficult to arouse the audience's * * * ideologically.
