Cannes For me from the moment I wake up is work. Meeting, meeting, dinner, a party is indispensable socialising - for me it is not entertainment but work. Every time I see a friend or stranger in a different place or restaurant, I will politely get up, sit down, then get up, sit down and say hello, extra work. See I am most happy when I bumped into the world champion Pele at dinner. A lot of young people may not know him, but in our generation Pele is a legend forever! He is a legend! In the coming year, he will be very busy, because next year's World Cup will be held in Brazil. I am very much looking forward to next year's World Cup!
"[The Expendables team] did contact me, but right now I have not read the script yet," says Chan. "I’d love to work with Stallone, but until I get back next week and meet Stallone and his manager, see the script… that’s when he’ll tell me what happens."
"I’d most like to have a fight scene with Stallone. Though I’d like to team up with him against the bad guy. There are so many action stars involved, it must be so difficult being the director. How do you share out every scene? 'I want to do something special, I want to do something special!' At the end, it’s all small parts, small parts, small parts. I want a big part! I hope I have a big part with Stallone!"
But this fight scene with Stallone... who would win in that fight? "I would", replies Chan with a smile. "I run faster than him."
Everyone knows that during the 70s and 80s，the gangs in Hongkong were really wild for a time.They used fierce methods to force the artists to make movies following their directions and I'm one of the actors who never gave in. Later I went to America and the triads followed after me.
They shot at the company where I was working. During that time I lived in Arizona, where everybody is allowed to carry a gun. I carried a gun with me to protect myself. What I was thinking is that if they do something to me, I will risk my life to strike back. This is the truth of the problem has attracted so much attention.
Because I'm a public person, what I say always causes misrepresentations and misunderstandings. Just like the problem at the premier of CZ12 (in Beijing). Our musical accompaniment had something wrong. We couldn't hear it when we stood on the stage and next day some people, on the internet, said that we lip-synched.
Expendables 3 has invited me, but actually I haven't make the final descision yet, but "I have signed up". Generally speaking, I'm a normal person with ordinary blood and ordinary muscle. I have feelings and I also have difficulties.
Today is not the last day of the earth, now as the Director I sincerely hope that you will go to the cinema to see this movie which is made with all of my painstaking care. I wish every audience could support good Chinese movies. Best wishes to you all.
