JULY 2, 2008

by Katharine Schroeder

Well, not really "On the Road With Jackie Chan" this time; it should be more like "Down the Road..." Jackie was filming a public service announcement for the Hong Kong government just a few minutes away from his office. Incredibly, the weather was perfect, although it was quite hot. The skies were brilliant blue and the clouds looked like they were made-to-order just for the filming. Jackie always says that he has great luck when it comes to the weather and today was no exception. Since he had to wear three layers of clothing in the searing heat, he was wishing that it was just a little bit cooler, but he never complained. In fact, when reporters asked him how he was doing, he expressed concern for them and offered them water. 

Although there's not much to report about a long day on this kind of shoot, there were so many great opportunities for photos that it seemed a good idea to put them here in the Scrapbook:

Jackie stands under the blazing sun at the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade in Hong Kong.

Like many other Hong Kong people do, Jackie makes good use of an umbrella on a sunny day.

Jackie was completely captivated by the clouds and the beautiful skyline. He took several shots to create a panorama.

And here's Jackie's remarkable panorama of the Hong Kong skyline. Click to make it bigger.

Jackie smiles after taking the photo. He knew he had a winner!

Jackie takes a look at Victoria Harbor. When filming moved to beneath the promende overhang, Jackie was quite happy to be out of the sun. However, the conditions for photography became nearly impossible to manage...a bright background with no flash allowed meant that Jackie was in silhouette. All the fans who were taking photos (as well as some of the news photographers) were complaining about the lighting!

Overexposed background; underexposed Jackie.

On the set we ran into a few old friends. Some you may know, some you may not, so I want to introduce you.

JC Stunt Team member Han Guan Hua was on hand to help the cameras set up for all of the moves Jackie would have to make with the large staff he was holding. Guan Hua performed the movements over and over again for the cameraman until everything could be positioned just right. Guan Hua is very proficient in the use of weapons, so he made it look easy. But it was very very hot! In true JC team fashion, he also never complained.

Han Guan Hua, talented martial artist, actor, and stuntman.
And a really really nice guy.

Do you recognize the man behind this sizeable fist? It's Ken Lo, of course.

Fibe and Maggie. Most of you know Fibe, the woman who writes Jackie's diaries from his dictations. Maggie is a make-up artist who has been working with Jackie for many years.

More photos of Jackie:

Uh oh.  Jackie spots a baby.

The perfect recipe for great pictures:  Mix one Jackie Chan with one baby and stir.

This little girl is the daughter of the art director.

Baby's patience begins to disappear.

Uh oh.

Uncle Jackie provides a shoulder to cry on.

Jackie cannot resist having a quick bite of baby arm.

Don't worry, Jackie didn't hurt the baby; he is very gentle. She was crying anyway. He was just enthralled with how chubby her arms were.

A lovely little baby arm.

Jackie relaxes between takes by checking out the camera equipment.

Recording his diary with Fibe.

All day long, fans gathered to watch the filming.

From the look on his face, you would think Ken Lo was caught misbehaving.

But he was just being a nice guy...bringing water to the reporters.

At one point during the day, Jackie asked me if I'd been to his store on the promenade. "Of course," I replied.

"Did you take photos? To show the fans?"

"Well, I suppose I did..."

"You should take some photos and put them on the website," he said.

"Well, okay...but do you mean right now?"

I looked at his face; he meant right now. It's true that I was in no position to complain about walking half a mile in the blazing sun when Jackie had been standing in it for hours. So I walked to the store.

If you visit Hong Kong, you should make it a point to stop by Jackie's shop at the promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui. You can buy souvenirs and also see some rare photos and other interesting things. Next to the store you will find two Buddy Bears - these are Jackie's bears. They have been recently redesigned since their original artwork finally succumed to the harsh elements on the waterfront. Here are some photos:

The Buddy Bears stand guard at Jackie's shop on the waterfront.

A brand new paint job for Jackie's bear. Jackie's original idea was to take designs from the Kids Corner Buddy Bear collection and have artists reproduce them on this bear. That turned out to be more difficult than anyone thought, so instead the artist took elements from many of the designs at JackieChanKids.com and painted them. Several designs are reproduced in their entirety, while parts of some designs are painted inside hearts. The theme?  Love and Peace!

This is the second bear. You might recognize the design; it is reproduced from the award winning artwork of 9 year-old Lau Tsun Ming of China. Tsun Ming won a competition sponsored by the United Nations and it intrigued Jackie because of its message about taking care of the environment. Jackie saw the drawing in the newspaper and invited Tsun Ming to visit him on the set of a commercial shoot in 2006. It was Jackie's idea to reproduce the design on his Buddy Bear.  

At just before 5:00, the shoot was over and it was time to go back to the office. Jackie got changed and after stopping to say a quick hello to fans who were waiting outside his tent, we headed back to Waterloo Road. As we pulled away, the crowds surrounded Jackie's car. This is something that always worries him - that people will get hurt trying to get a photo or to wave hello. Guan Hua helped to keep everyone safe and soon we were on our way.

Getting ready to leave.

Jackie points at the camera the woman in pink is holding. Is that a Polaroid? Yes!

 2008年7月2日 

撰写：凯瑟琳．苏奥达 

啊，这一次不是真的“与成龙一起上路”；以‘一起走过去’似乎比较贴切。因为，成龙为香港政府拍摄一个公益宣传片段，拍摄场地与他的公司只有几分钟的距离。真的难以置信，虽然很热，天气却很好。蔚蓝的天空，那些云漂亮得就像特别为拍摄而设的。成龙经常说自己很幸运，老是带来好的天气，今天都没有例外。在炎夏穿了三层衣服，成龙真的希望天气凉快一点，话虽如此，他从来不会抱怨。实际上，当记者们问候他的时候，他表现出关心记者们，还为他们提供饮用水。 

虽然这一类型的拍摄工作没有太多的东西可以跟大家讲，但是却有很多机会拍照片，把这些照片放到剪贴簿里，看来是一个不错的主意： 

烈日当空，成龙站在香港尖沙咀海滨长廊。 

跟其它很多香港人一样，成龙善用雨伞挡太阳。 

成龙完全被这些云和漂亮的天空迷倒了，他也来拍几张照片去创作一个全景图。 

这就是成龙所拍的香港天空的全景图。按一下照片把它放大。 

拍过照片以后，成龙微笑。他知道他是一个优胜者！ 

成龙看着维多利亚海港。当拍摄场地移师到长廊伸出部份的底部，成龙很开心，因为可以避开那酷热的太阳了。可是，这对于拍摄却是很难控制．．．因为拍摄场地背了光，不容许使用闪光灯之下，成龙就变成一个黑色的轮廓像。所有正在拍照的影迷们（还有部份新闻摄影师）都抱怨灯光的问题！ 

背景太光；成龙太暗了。 

我们在现场遇到几位老朋友。有些你们可能认识，有些可能不，所以我想跟你们介绍一下。 

成家班成员韩冠华在现场站在镜头前帮忙做每一个成龙需要做的动作，他表演了一次又一次，好让摄影师一切就绪为止。冠华是使用武器的行家，所以看起来他舞动得很容易。但是，天气真的是很热很热！正如成家班的风格，他也是永不抱怨的。 

韩冠华是一个天才的武术艺人、演员和武师。 

而且，是一个非常好的人。 

你能认出这个大拳头后面的男人吗？当然，他是卢惠光！ 

卢惠光在香港的海港前留影。 

Fibe和Maggie。很多人都认识Fibe，成龙讲他的日记，她把他所讲的写出来。Maggie是艺人化装师，她已经跟成龙合作多年了。 

更多的成龙照片： 

噢．．．成龙看到一个婴儿。 

拍一张美妙的照片的完美烹饪法就是：把一个成龙跟一个婴儿搅拌在一起。 

这个小女婴是美术指导的女儿。 

婴孩的耐性开始消失了。 

呜．．噢。 

哭的时候，成龙叔叔提供肩膀给你。 

成龙按耐不住很快的咬了小婴儿的臂。 

不用担心，成龙不会伤害这个小婴孩的，他咬得非常轻。可是，她都是哭了。他被她那胖乎乎的臂所吸引了。 

一条可爱的小婴孩胳膊。 

一个镜头与下一个镜头的空隙是成龙轻松的时候，他会检查一下摄影器材。 

Fibe为成龙的日记录音 

影迷整天都聚集看拍摄工作。 

从他的脸部表情，你可能想到卢惠光可能被捉到他行为不端。 

原来，他正在做老好人．．．给水记者们喝。 

日间，成龙问我有没有去过他位于星光大道的商店。我回答：「当然去过。」 

「你有拍照片吗？有给影迷看吗？」 

「啊．．我想我有．．．」 

他说：「你应该拍些照片并放到网站去」 

「好的．．．但是，你想我现在就去吗？」 

我看着他的脸，他的脸已经告诉我现在就去。说实话，当成龙已经在烈日下站了几个小时，我没有道理抱怨要在烈日下步行半哩路吧。所以，我就步行去他的商店。 

如果你到访香港的话，你应该去尖沙咀的星光大道上的成龙商店流连一下。你可以买纪念品，也可以看到一些珍贵的图片和其它有趣的东西。商店的旁边，你会找到两头芭迪熊（Buddy Bear），它们是成龙的熊。最近它们被重新设计，因为原来的美术设计因为在海滨区而受到侵蚀。这里是一些图片： 

芭迪熊站在海滨前守卫成龙的商店。 

这是漆上全新油彩的成龙熊。成龙的原来构思是让艺术家把儿童网站所收集的芭迪熊重新制造出来。结果这比其它人想象的还要困难，所以却没有让艺术家把成龙儿童网站的熊熊设计重新添上油彩。只是把几个设计重新制造出来，有些则作局部翻新。主题是什么？爱与和平！ 

这是第二个熊熊。你应该认出这个设计，它是复制自一个得奖艺术作品，得奖者是来自中国香港的九岁男童刘浚铬。浚铬胜出的比赛是由联合国所赞助的，它的作品能够吸引到成龙是因为它带出的讯息是环保。成龙在报纸上看到这则得奖新闻，他于2006年邀请浚铬到拍摄广告现场与他见面。这是成龙提议把这个设计复制成他自己的芭迪熊。

快将五点，拍摄工作就完成了，也是时候回公司了。成龙换过衣服以后，停下来跟站在休息帐篷外等待他的影迷们打招呼，然后就朝着窝打老道方向回去。当我们离开的时候，人群围拢着成龙的车子。这都是他经常担心的事情：人们为了拍一张照片或是挥手打招呼，可能会因此受伤的。冠华帮忙保持每一个人的安全，我们很快就在途上了。

准备离开。

成龙出来的时候，跟影迷们打招呼。

从成龙的视线看到影迷尝试着拍照。

成龙指着穿着粉色衣服的女士拿着的照相机，是宝丽莱吗？对了！
