    Starting from the 25th, the official filming of "Rush Hour 3" began.  In the first few days, the crew filmed mostly scenes between Cheng Long and Chris Tucker. Zhang Chengyuan only occasionally appeared in front of the camera, but this does not mean that Zhang Chengyuan has nothing to do.  In the past few days, he has been observing the operation process and shooting characteristics of the Hollywood film crew, and trying to figure out the acting methods of Hollywood actors, so that when his role begins, he can quickly and smoothly complete various tasks according to the director's requirements.  Photography mission.  Also doing the same thing as him was Zhang Jingchu. The two of them stayed together almost from morning to night, carefully studying every detail of what they saw, heard, and felt during the filming process.  Diseases are discussed with each other.  If they still had free time, they would recite and practice lines and figure out the characters. However, they had never done other leisure activities such as traveling since the movie started.  Their dedication and hard work are seen by all members of the crew and they all appreciate them greatly. Therefore, after seeing them every morning, they will nod, smile or shout hello to them to show their friendship!  A few days later, filming of Zhang Chengyuan¡¯s scenes began.  In this movie, Zhang Chengyuan plays the leader of an ancient gang organization "Triad", and sometimes also serves as a killer. He is the first villain in the film, named Jin Andong.  This character has a somewhat unclear relationship with the character played by Cheng Long, Inspector Li. He is the son of Inspector Li's sworn brother.  When he was fifteen years old, his father died. Before his death, he was entrusted to Inspector Li to take care of him. However, because Inspector Li was too busy at work and neglected to take care of him, Jin Andong accidentally went astray and secretly joined the Triads.  , and suddenly left Inspector Li when he was twenty years old, and never contacted Inspector Li again.  When the two met again, ten years had passed, and the relationship between the two was already hostile.  In the film, the relationship between Inspector Li and Jin Andong is somewhat complicated. Inspector Li has treated Jin Andong as his own son a long time ago. In addition, after Jin Andong suddenly disappeared, Inspector Li tried his best to trace the whereabouts of Jin Andong. When he learned that he had been  After being lured into the triad, he felt deeply guilty and felt that it was his failure to educate him properly that caused Jin Anton to become a gang member.  Therefore, when the two sides were in conflict with each other, Inspector Li repeatedly showed mercy to Jin Andong and desperately hoped to lead Jin Andong back to the right path.  And Jin Andong also had deep feelings for Inspector Li and subconsciously regarded him as his second father. Although he was extremely cold towards him on the surface, he never forgot his kindness in raising him in his heart, so he never went all out.  After dealing with him, and even in the final fight with the Eiffel Tower, Jin Andong gave up the chance to die with Inspector Li and took the initiative to die, leaving Inspector Li with a little chance of survival.  This setting was specially modified to fit Zhang Chengyuan's characteristics after screenwriter Jeff Nathanson saw Zhang Chengyuan's appearance, acting skills and skills. The original version was not like this, but there is no way, the most original version  It was set according to Tony Jaa, because the director originally wanted to invite him to join.  Later, Tony Jaa refused to star, and the crew invited Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the screenwriter changed the script accordingly.  After that, Jean-Claude Van Damme withdrew from the crew due to other reasons, and finally it was Zhang Chengyuan's turn to join.  But obviously the settings of the first two versions were not consistent with Zhang Chengyuan's, so they had to be modified.  It is conceivable that if the role of this villain is played by another actor, such as the Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada that the crew once liked and wanted to invite, then there will definitely be new changes to the script.  Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan's image and skills were better, and he was recommended by Cheng Long, so he got this role, and the setting of the villain in the script was finally changed to what it is now.  Zhang Chengyuan¡¯s scenes in Paris were mainly fighting scenes with Cheng Long. In addition to the fighting scenes, there were also two or three literary scenes.  Literary opera is not difficult for Zhang Chengyuan, and Hollywood actors may not have anything unique in their acting skills. It¡¯s just that the way they perform is slightly different from other countries. As long as he pays a little attention to this, he can handle it easily.  For Asian actors, the biggest difficulty in filming in Hollywood is the language problem. For example, Cheng Long often encounters big trouble in this regard. Certain very similar English pronunciations are too difficult for him to speak, and he often  Making him dizzy felt much more difficult than shooting an action scene.  But this is not a problem at all for Zhang Chengyuan. Although his English is only self-taught, with his strong memory and imitation ability, his English is even more fluent and standard than most Americans, no matter what  He can memorize all kinds of English lines very quickly and express them smoothly and emotionally.  Therefore, literary opera has almost no difficulty for Zhang Chengyuan.  Of course, this is also because the character Jin Andong he plays in this movie does not have high requirements in terms of literary and drama.  As for action scenes, although Zhang Chengyuan is very skilled, the related filming experience? But it was pitifully few. After all, the Korean film and television industry was not very sophisticated in shooting action scenes, and he had basically never been exposed to real action scenes before, so naturally he was unable to develop experience in this aspect.  Therefore, at the beginning, he was quite jerky and made many small mistakes, such as not wearing safety equipment, losing his balance when hanging the wire, using too much force, etc.  Fortunately, Cheng Long always tried his best to give him guidance, and he was extremely adaptable, so he quickly mastered the tricks and gradually gained a deep understanding of Hollywood action scenes.  In addition, although Zhang Chengyuan has some lack of experience in action scenes, his qualities in many aspects have shocked many professionals, including Cheng Long.  Such as his superhuman understanding, outstanding skills, and extraordinary courage.  When it comes to comprehension, he understands everything and knows ten things when he hears it. When filming, if he encounters something he doesn't understand, and someone else explains it a little, he can understand it clearly and even draw inferences. Sometimes he can even ask Jackie Chan and others to  Be amazed by the great ideas that come your way.  Speaking of skills, not long after joining the crew, everyone who came to him to compete could not pass three moves in his hands. This was because he was merciless.  Of course, Cheng Long is not included among these people.  At this time, Cheng Long was getting older and more well-educated. He had long given up the idea of ??competing with others. Moreover, he knew that he was too old to be Zhang Chengyuan's opponent, so besides practicing martial arts, he  I will never go to Zhang Chengyuan to avoid trouble.  Speaking of Zhang Chengyuan's courage, everyone can get a glimpse of it when filming action scenes at the Eiffel Tower.  When all staff and actors are preparing for safety measures at an altitude of tens or even hundreds of meters, even the most daring people have to be cautious and alert, for fear of accidentally falling and being shattered into pieces.  Although this possibility is extremely low, it is still scary.  Even though Cheng Long, who has extensive experience in high-altitude dramas, seems to be calm on the surface, sometimes his legs will become weak involuntarily when he looks down.  Only Zhang Chengyuan didn't take it seriously. When he stood on the steel frame outside the Eiffel Tower, he was as steady as a mountain; when he moved, he was calm and composed; when he occasionally looked down, he was also interested, as if he had seen something interesting, that kind of indifference  , The calm look, one can tell at a glance that it is not fake, and it is not the kind of indifference that puts life and death at risk, but more like confidence, confidence that even if he falls, he will not be killed or hurt.  This is somewhat confusing, but to put it bluntly, it is not surprising, because although Zhang Chengyuan cannot fly to the sky and escape from the earth like in his previous life, he can still do it with the majestic energy in his body and the "light body technique" of ancient martial arts.  Falling from a height of several hundred meters without being seriously injured, the most he would suffer would be some physical pain, but to him, the pain from the physical pain was no different from being itchy.  It was with this thought in mind that he didn't take working at heights to heart and seemed extremely calm.  Of course, for Zhang Chengyuan, filming action scenes is still a bit troublesome, mainly in two aspects, one is the rehearsal of the martial arts drama, and the other is the safety measures.  Rehearsal refers to when you are officially shooting an action scene, you need to practice continuously and practice it thoroughly, so that you can save a lot of time during filming.  Although it saves a lot of shooting time, it still requires a lot of practice. This is something Zhang Chengyuan cannot avoid in many cases.  Although he was able to master the movements taught by Wuzhi in a short period of time, the fighting scenes were not something that could be done by one person. He needed the cooperation of his opponent, which required him to practice a lot with his opponent.  And this is much more difficult than his personal practice, because others don't have his ability to learn it instantly.  Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan's opponent in the movie this time is mainly Cheng Long, a kung fu superstar. He has extraordinary skills and rich experience, and he and Zhang Chengyuan are quite compatible. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan's sparring with him is naturally much easier and does not take long.  With time and practice, you will be able to practice very skillfully and freely.  By comparison, the safety measures required when filming action scenes are even more troublesome. Many actors, including Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan, suffered from major headaches.  If you are filming on the external structure of the Eiffel Tower, you have to take perfect safety precautions. After all, it is too dangerous. No one except Zhang Chengyuan dares to take it lightly; but when filming inside the Eiffel Tower, which has a high safety factor, it is often  Very meticulous safety measures must be taken, and there are special safety supervisors watching over them. The staff and actors are not allowed to be negligent.  This is not only time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive, but also affects the actors' mood during filming.  Not only that, for safety reasons, the safety supervisors appointed by the insurance company did not allow the crew to shoot action scenes that were too dangerous.  Cheng Long once wanted to shoot an action scene involving jumping directly from a high place on the Eiffel Tower, and suggested shooting it in real locations. However, the insurance company thought it was too dangerous and refused to do so. They strongly resisted, and finally thisI had no choice but to give up the idea and decided to wait until I returned to the United States to build a scene similar to the Eiffel Tower in the studio for shooting.  Cheng Long was very angry about this, because before this, he had many action ideas, which were rejected by the insurance company for reasons of approval.  When Zhang Chengyuan asked Cheng Long, "Do you have such trouble every time you shoot an action scene?", Cheng Long smiled slightly and said, "That's why you are like this when you shoot in Hollywood! When I shoot action scenes in Hong Kong, I don't have this trouble.  Of course, safety may be lower, but I have my own martial arts stunt team. They are experienced and can complete action scenes quickly while ensuring safety. The efficiency is much higher than in Hollywood! If there is a chance, I will go to Hong Kong or Hong Kong!  Mainland China will film with me." Zhang Chengyuan nodded repeatedly and agreed. He couldn't dream of filming on Chinese soil!
