Little Big Soldier Theme Lyrics

Yóu Cài Huā / 《油菜花》

一条大路呦通呀通我家

我家住在呦梁呀梁山下

山下土肥呦地呀地五亩啊

五亩良田呦种点啥



谁会记得我的模样

谁会记得我受过的伤

谁的欲望谁的战场

让我们都背离善良



何时才能回到故乡

何时才能看她的红妆

我用长剑劈断目光

劈不断我想家的狂



一条大河呦通呀通我家

有妻有儿呦瓦呀瓦房大

鸡肥鹅肥呦牛呀牛羊壮啊

种豆种稻呦油菜花

谁会记得我的模样

谁会记得我受过的伤

谁的欲望谁的战场

让我们都背离善良



何时才能回到故乡

何时才能看她的红妆

我用长剑劈断目光

劈不断我想家的狂



一条大路呦通呀通我家

我家住在呦梁呀梁山下

山下土肥呦地呀地五亩啊

五亩良田呦油菜花

Song: Little Big Soldier theme
Song - YouCai Flower
Artist: Jackie Chan

A big road passes through my house
My family lives under the Liang mountain
Under the mountain, the soil is fertilized on five acres of land
What should I grow on five acres of land?

Who will remember my appearance?
Who will remember the wounds I have suffered?
Whose desire is this? Whose battlefield is this?
That has made us turn our backs on what is good?

When can I return to my homeland?
When can I look at her red make-up?
Even if I used a sword to blind me...
...it would not blind me from my homesickness

A big river passes through my house
I have a wife, a son, and my house is big
The chickens are fat, gooses are fat, cows and goats are strong
Plant beans, plant paddies, canola flowers.

Who will remember my appearance?
Who will remember the wounds I have suffered?
Whose desire is this? Whose battlefield is this?
That has made us turn our backs on what is good?

When can I return to my homeland?
When can I look at her red make-up?
Even if I used a sword to blind me...
...it would not blind me from my homesickness

A big road passes through my house
My family lives under the Liang mountain
Under the mountain, the soil is fertilized on five acres of land
Five-acre farmland of canola flowers

Theme Song LBS

Well I jumped for joy then crashed to earth!! The theme song for Little Big Soldier has been released - JOY JOY JOY - but so far I have only been able to find it on SINA.COM which only plays in China :-( BIG TIME SAD!!!!!

Never mind I will keep looking! I am sure I will find it - if not TODAY then SOON.

US release of Shinjuku Incident

Take a look at these posters for the US release of Shinjuku Incident:

"Courtesy of Barking Cow Distribution. All rights reserved."

Now did they watch the same movie I watched? HOW did they make this movie about a 'battle for Tokyo's underground'? Why change the entire focus of the movie in this way? Who has these 'bright' ideas? Are 'violent' movies about 'gangsters' the only 'acceptable' films? Because these posters seem to be emphasizing a violence that isn't really present in the film. Yes it has violence but not in the way it is being presented in these posters. I can't help feeling there is such a huge amount of - if not exactly prejudice - but certainly preconceptions in making this movie about "they destroyed his life - now he will destroy their's". It's like the worst kind of prejudice - this is the ONLY image of Tokyo/Triads/Yakuza that is acceptable to American audiences. What worries me the most is if they are right.

This movie is NOT about Jackie's character going out on some war against the Yakuza or trying to take control of the Tokyo underground nor can any such interpretation be forced onto the film.

It is about a man who is caught between a rock and hard place in his attempts to survive in an alien and hostile environment. It is about hard moral choices and how trying to do what you need to do in order to survive is not always RIGHT. There is a clear moral message in this film that doing 'whatever it takes' is not right when it involves doing something illegal. That whatever the intentions (Jackie's character is motivated by the highest intentions for his friends and for himself) doing the wrong thing doesn't make it right just because the intentions were good.

It is a story about love, about loyalty and to whom do you owe loyalty? What happens when loyalties conflict? It is a film about survival, about morality, about right and wrong. It is a film about choices and the consequences of choices - right and wrong.

There is a sub-text about prejudice as both sides (Chinese and Japanese) display a lack of understanding and prejudice against each other.

Ultimately it is a movie that shows the grass is not always greener on the other side. A message that both Jackie and Derek Yee have expressed many times in interviews about the movie when it released in Asia.

There is a link to download the English Trailer HERE (20.3 MB swf format) or HERE (8.3 MB mpeg-4 format) Just right click on the links and 'save as' "Courtesy of Barking Cow Distribution. All rights reserved."

However - it still remains true that if we want more of Jackie's Asian films to be given a general release it is important to support them when they are. Go see it. No matter what they have cut out or changed in the dubbing - it's a great movie!


Post Script:

I think this summary illustrates my point in the comment below extremely well:

Nick, an honest and hardworking tractor repairman from northern China, takes the perilous journey to Tokyo after losing contact with his girlfriend, Xiu Xiu, who months earlier had left China for Japan with hopes of a better life. Trying to exist in the underbelly of Tokyo long enough to find Xiu Xiu, Nick searches for a decent living and unwittingly finds himself pitted against the Japanese yakuza. Ironically, he also discovers that Xiu Xiu has adopted a Japanese identity and has married Eguchi, an ambitious up-and-coming yakuza chief. Nick feels responsible for this turn of events and feels obligated to bring Eguchi down. He must do what is right, even though he knows that he will also be destroying whatever happiness Xiu Xiu has been able to find in this new city. It’s not a question of right or wrong with shades of gray; the question is black and white. Can one simple Chinese migrant take on the yakuza alone? (Barking Cow Distribution)

METACRITIC.COM

I know it sounds like I am being very critical - but the problem is that in attempting to make the movie more palatable for Western audiences and therefore more marketable which should translate into more money - what they are actually doing is going to result in the opposite. Which is bad for every one! What I am saying is market the movie AS IT IS! Don't change it. Then the audience who can appreciate it will go see it. The whole perception of how awful dubbed and cut movies are will change and the whole situation becomes win - win as more people will go see these movies, more money will be made by all and we will see more movies being given a general release. Do it RIGHT and we all win! Do it wrong and no one wins.

As an extremely good example of how a good movie can end up really bad when this happens to it is 'The Medallion'. From interviews I have read/watched with various people involved in the making of 'The Medallion' the original story was very different from what ended up on-screen BUT the American producers felt that American audiences wouldn't understand/appreciate that movie so 2 months after filming was completed the film was re-edited and few extra scenes filmed to 'fit' the new story and you have a good movie gone bad in one easy step! There are so many story elements in 'The Medallion' that just don't make any sense whatsoever, not to mention what appear to be continuity bloopers but in fact are consistent with the original film but the preceding scene was cut.

'The Medallion' is an extreme example of this but .... my message is ... DON'T DO IT! LEAVE the movie as is! Dub the movie as it was originally written. Don't cut it to try fit a new sensibility. Don't try to change the meaning, message or story to fit a new audience. It just makes a mess regardless of how it is done. And in the end it doesn't produce the desired result.

US Poster for Shinjuku Incident

The movie is being released in selected theaters in the USA this weekend. If you haven't seen it or even if you have - go support it. It is a good movie and well worth seeing on the big screen. Not to mention that the more it makes the more chance there is of other movies being released in the US.

English Translation:
----
Fireworks from a far, the events from the heart
My thoughts point to the top and i die
Things I cannot think of, the unmeltable snow
Blows away into the spiral
No one's path passed by a door without your presence
In a room filled with smoke shining in your eyes
I give my own soul a little bit of repentance
How do I face myself?
What kind of self would step into what kinda world
What kind of lonesome nightmare
The diaries of the soul will never end
It won't know when to stop
The hot blood wets the wound
Safe and sound nights - snow storm nights
Who would I have thought of?
Who'd think of me?
Cold nights, by your side to light the fire,
and also warm me up.

Carrying hope, excelling dreams, embracing the future;
Let your own direction always stand firm on the dragon’s stage.

Jackie Inspired in part by Audrey Hepburn

At some point in the creation of the story of 'Little Big Soldier' Jackie says that he was inspired by a movie by Audrey Hepburn and that he wanted originally to make 'Little Big Soldier' as short movie (> 30 mins) entirely by himself ie he would write, direct, film, act etc etc entirely on his own. Sounds like an intriguing concept to me.

Also served as producers, story key creative, and action director, starring Jackie Chan and many other identities, to bring its first 99 Movies "Private Game" reached the Lunar New Year Lunar New Year stalls, this by Lee Hom , Seung Jun, Lin P, Baoqiang Other people's action-comedy film about the world at 12:00 on February 14 release. After talking about this 20 years onto the big screen movie, Jackie Chan admitted, films inspired by the famous actress Audrey Hepburn.

A story like twenty years

As early as twenty years ago, Jackie Chan's mind had already surfaced film "Private Game" The prototype, but then he only thought at the beginning and end, recalling the circumstances, Chan said: "We thought about this story is something many years ago, and was just about shape, the original thought when the two hostile , a soldier captured a great general, to charge him to go back Ling Shang, and I is that no soldier culture. while the two were together all the way to go, there must be many interesting things happen, for example, I have you in South Korea In Beijing, I wanted to take you to South Korea, but the results you actually brought me to Beijing to be a ... ... "

The middle of the process of how to prop up more than an hour of the film, while filling the Jackie Chan is a headache, so the story aside, Jackie Chan himself, said: "The reason I had never shot, because this thing looks a lot of fun, but how do extend into more than an hour films? may be 15 minutes, half an hour will be a lot of fun, but then I would be written, and have been placed today. "

Inspired by Audrey Hepburn

Jackie Chan's screen career may be said to be relatively smooth, due to his excellent skill base debut soon became a leading actor, you have not seen a few years as a director filming a "laughing boxing weird measures." Jackie Chan in the film's success so want to try more possibilities, but he was essential to establish a screen image of a hero, many ideas can not be achieved, but Jackie Chan is still constantly think about what you really want to shoot film.

Occasionally, the Jackie Chan saw Audrey Hepburn in the completion of an independently produced film, inspired by the initial composition of the film "Private Game" came from. Jackie Chan hopes to shoot a movie completely on my own to complete, he recalled: "Audrey Hepburn in the movie which she played a blind man, the play on her side of a person done. I want to make a full the completion of my own movies, no photo no light, all on my own camera, playing lights, boot, performing all the ... ... really is a personal movie. but now the movie is group work, a person on its own can not be successful , so I think that if I was a soldier, how to shoot a story like this. "

Directed jointly by the Mainland

Let the story of Jackie Chan Hunqianmengying two decades, was finally directed Ding Sheng onto the screen, director, co-operation with the mainland for the first time, Jackie Chan does not feel strange. As early as in 2003, shooting ads to get to know Jackie Chan Ding Sheng, followed by the re-cooperation, and also so that Jackie Chan is more at ease on the small-sung. In 2007, Jackie Chan Ding Sheng with five minutes to talk about the "Private Game" story, Sheng Ding after the script is not only well prepared, even the place dynasty, costumes, props all set up too readily available, so Jackie Chan is very is a pleasant surprise: "wow, the original Ding Sheng so seriously, even the country in what happened, what the dynasty of clothes to wear, there really such a thing happened he was good exam, and history is really about similar things happen off, because the country is too small, the emperor did not attack them, not a fight ... ... Later on, I feel really good, he understood only too well, and give him shoot it. "

And Ding Sheng co-shooting "Private Game", so that Jackie Chan was very happy, which often give newcomers a chance for Chan, it was a successful attempt, Jackie Chan to think: "He has this ability, then I should be give him try, if nothing is done, is equal to zero, I hope that one day he can become a really big director. "But in fact the director of the Jackie Chan is still some fear a day, hiding in the room after the shooting, After the discovery will be offered to Jackie Chan Ding Sheng out of tea for dinner. Chan said: "In the first scene I usually do not speak to what people say, let go of his own play, but when the evening tea, we will certainly pay attention to the. A few days ago received the workers, he is hiding in the room not come out, I do not know this person were doing, the result turned out he was afraid of meeting me, how this path? So I say this is not good, ask him to drink tea, chat, chat about some irrelevant things, laughing and joking after eating rice, and then discuss the future of cinema, how shoot. "

Crew must have "sun cakes"

In the "Private Game" production crew, on the Lee Hom's "sun cakes" have a well-known scripts, the sun was originally Lee Hom to Jackie Chan cake for breakfast snacks, but a shot in the director Ding Sheng Chan requested the temporary change drama, In a time when Jackie Chan Ding Sheng thought his cake to the sun Sheng Ding, Ding Sheng look so inspired by the outbreak, from Jackie Chan Ding Sheng gave a day, the sun cake. At the scene, Jackie Chan often feel the director's program will also allow better every day, "forcing the" Ding Sheng think of new ideas, "Private Game" After the shooting, Ding Sheng eat a lot of sun cake.

Professor of Communication University of China: "The Myth" bold artistic innovation

SFS Emperor Qing Li Kui system Guoneishoubu through Teleplays "myth" to carry momentum Thunder landing Heilongjiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Henan, 4 Star, began to broadcast on the satellite. Prior to "myth" as the CCTV-opening drama has achieved high ratings with the response, close to the Lunar New Year, four TV will launch a "myth" of the hot network, in order to have the students leave family, presented through the drama of the gift. Recently, Professor of Communication University of China well-known critic, Zeng Qingrui written project review articles, comments "myth" made a bold attempt to artistic innovation, the activation of different television viewers to meet the different aesthetic passion and fun.

In addition, the Shadow King also announced a "myth 2" project started collecting scripts creative, "myth" brand will continue to distribute charm

Professor of Communication University of China Zeng Qingrui:

Creation and distribution of "myths" such a drama, all the writers, artists and television culture industry workers in an attempt to use a different kind of realism and romanticism, but belongs to the absurdist modernism modernist the aesthetic spirit, aesthetic principles and the creative method. With the absurd narrative strategies and narrative pattern to continue to practice a new variety TV series exploring the art of innovation, to construct a Chinese TV drama audiences in mind the myth of art.

I would like to explore the "myth" that try to construct the pros and cons. There were many comments on the Internet, to study the repeated statements of why the "myth" since the launch of "fame", talk about a lot of reasons, the favorable factors, but also talk with Jackie Chan and Stanley Tong symbols. I saw the introduction of the story as the text is also said to be "the first ancient history and modern history intertwined in parallel with each other through the evolution of the theme of drama." At the same propaganda and the term is a play which the audience can either enjoy the soul-stirring, magnificent ancient armored cavalry epic, but also can experience the national treasures like the mystery, mystery looms solution.

Regardless of the ancient and historical, modern and two at the turn of the millennium of the Qin and Han Dynasties how butt, no matter how much personal appearances matter, or we perform a number of historical events and human legend, I think the "myth" or a love of theater nuclear. The modern part is easy to Ogawa and high the love story of Lan, the Qin Dynasty is easy to Ogawa and Yu-Shu Meng Yi, as well as, the emotional entanglement between Xiaoyue. Only these two ancient and modern love story is one we have built up a special platform to start deduction. So I think that all of the historical story, the interpretation of historical events, historical figures and modern all kinds of plot appearance design, are intended to build such a love of the platform, so set the background, or that we placed the main scene of this drama .

Originally a man and several women's stories, in our television work which is repeated three to be interpreted, and why the "myth" of the past and present five women and one man's story makes so many viewers concerned about this? I think the media's analysis and interpretation has some truth, but not all of the reasons, but also the emergence of Jackie Chan and Stanley Tong is not the main reason. Culturally speaking, I Shanxi, "television series," This year the first phase of the sentence begins, after revision, "TV" magazine in the sixth page of talking love is the most beautiful mythology, there is a saying that the lack of love is never easy to close Ogawa His woman, basically every play there has aroused a woman of easy Ogawa and historical bridge. Strange to say, in the modern romantic suave can be justifiably Ogawa to polygamy is no longer being romantic era of suave. Why "TV" magazine that the phrase derives from it, as five women, including the practice of love as Concubine Yu publicity practice? It captures a female viewer psychology.

Why is "myth" so that everyone can be interested, I feel good-looking? Probably because in front of the "myth" in that the frame of this movie may also have "Step into the Past" in there, the story is actually a male-centered tradition of Jia Baoyu, Lin Tai-yu, Xue Bao-chai brother, sister, a variant of the story. Although the outcome of this story is difficult for lovers to become dependents of the tragedy of the story, but the story in the evolution of male-centered cultural elements and other elements of the combination of humanities, making it a different interpretation. What do the different cultural elements? The Way We like handsome guy, and strengthen the audience for some specific groups of the attractiveness ratings. In particular, the ordinary is easy to Ogawa Meng Yi Cao Min, or the ordinary, namely, was able to conquer the three great national leaders-level contemporary hero, emperor, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu's other half. Emperor of Chong Fei, Liu Bang, the so-called hardships couples Lv Zhi, Xiang Yu Aiqie Concubine Yu and later being able to have such an elegant feeling anything to do this kind of cultural elements of a priori doomed it is able to attract a specific audience groups eye. There are modern archaeological Raiders of the story of Qin social, military, political and cultural life in Taipei, including the right of the court the money within the struggle of human nature are very useful for a variety show created the story so fascinating kind of art charm, unlike in a very mediocre television we see a woman, several men, a woman or a man of several interpretations. This is the creator and director is very intelligent, ultra-high places.

Unconscious or in some men, hiding in the inner world, the deep with polygamous eccentric fantasy, the young female audience for male chauvinists will be a dream of winning the ratings. This will be driven to watch the psychological in nature and very often look at TV viewing time to protect people to participate in the creation of the TV drama "myth" myth of the audience. Play the main character and the fate of attractive non-attractive, good-looking or ugly story, The story clearly is not clear, fluid is not smooth, lively and not vivid, and moving is not moving, including the screen shape can delight, a word there No art is also still very important factor.

First, this drama is regarded by many fashion and more fashion elements to folder inclusive rub together.

Second, the use of television in China is extremely rare non-realistic narrative art of the Absurd.

In particular, the latter I think it did a bold artistic innovation attempt.

We should say that whether you like it or not TV in the figure, like it or not something else, good-looking is a fact. Exaggeration to say that, even if you know it Manzhi ridiculous statement, you also are interested in reading through the policy, and why? I think that the narrative on the key creative director and a very easy way out are very clever strategy. Broadcast in the existing ecological environment adapted to the different TV shows simultaneously, or different audience expectations and needs of the aesthetic, the activation of different television audiences met a different aesthetic passion and fun, but also in many taboos and constraints of broadcast found between the artistic elements and commercial elements quite cleverly combined the ability to avoid the risk of survival and development.

习惯幕起幕落
总以为明天还很多
没想到这笑脸
会让我难过

习惯一起走过
没想你不在的生活
泪雨也是阳光闪烁
是避风的角落
离开会成最美的洒脱

眼是心的守诺
我和你不逃过
你是我一辈子的收获
难说再见
你的微笑遗落在我眼前
难说再见
永远不忘转身瞬间
海阔天空在明天
再相见

zǒng yǐ wèi míng tiān huán hěn duō

Accustomed to the rising and falling of the curtains,
Always thought there’d still be more tomorrow,
Never imagined this smile on the face,
Would make me feel sad.

Used to walking along together,
Never thought about life without you,
Raining tears are also twinkling sparkles of sunlight;
It is the corner of shelter from the wind,
Departing will become the most beautiful way of being free and easy.

Eyes are the promise keepers of the heart,
Me and you we cannot evade,
You are the rewards of my lifetime,
It’s hard to say goodbye,
Your smile has fallen in front of my eyes,
It’s hard to say goodbye,
Will never forget the moment you turned away,
Tomorrow, the boundless sea and sky
Will meet again.

JACKIE CHAN

May no longer than he was hit in the action film in the history of a miracle, even including his own; because of the success of the film industry, he has a unique life; he was at any time, the focus of the public to this day he still has led the worldwide box-office appeal of action films; do not know him, that he was only in the legendary action star; into his world, in order to read his incomparably wonderful secret. After a lapse of seven years for re-Lu Yu Chan interview about his changes and secrets, described as a "big brother" to create a legend.

In early 2003, I had an interview in Hong Kong, Jackie Chan, that I have with the film crew went to the Jackie Chan in Hong Kong, the third house - the only one not being exposed to the local press. The interview lasted more than six hours, from the night's 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock the next day, "Big Brother" is not talking about the fatigue. Today, seven years of time has passed, whether it is Jackie Chan himself, or Luyu programs have undergone a lot of change: the time, "Date with Lu Yu" program form of the hosts and guests to the one on one interviews, Unlike it is, we not only have a very nice studio scene, and each program there is to do 300 enthusiastic spectators who came to the scene. "Big Brother" and change even more, he played in the movies less, and started falling in love. Even he is no longer a mere movie star of. As a "big brother" and Jackie Chan, who shouldered more of a responsibility of the State's responsibility, social responsibility, for the performing arts sector responsibilities, family responsibilities.

Recalling the scene in a program for young and frivolous, himself, Jackie Chan, a little bitterly painful, "in Shijiuershi years old, suddenly became a multimillionaire at night, when the thing is done every day to buy luxury goods, I once bought seven of the world famous diamond table, because only seven days a week, every day I wear a different brands of watches, please eat before the tragedies at the turn of Takeyuki, showing off to them. Now look back, I am very hated the way she looks then. "Chan said that he participated in the public interest after they found out that there are so many people, unfortunately. After doing a public service, his whole person will be very comfortable buying luxury goods is more than comfortable to sleep all day, sleep like a baby. Jackie Chan says he is now doing is to return and gratitude, and strive to earn more money to donate more money.

Jaycee Chan gives up his U.S. citizenship, joined the Chinese nationality, for the matter, son of Jackie Chan's done a good job that I am very proud of him. "Chinese nationality is his own decisions, not me, but I may be affected by the impact. He asked me can do so, I said good, because we are not a U.S. citizen in order to get to go to the United States, was in order to avoid the paparazzi Team. "because in the time of his son did not have time to look after him and Jackie Chan always feel a little unfair to his son. But he said he was the only right thing to do is to make sure to say Jaycee Chan Mandarin, "Now he says a good Mandarin, which I do's"!

We call him Big Brother, is because no matter where Big Brother is always a kind of style and play, like the guide and support young people, married to his classes, but also won its strict respect of all, he likes to help others, to charities back and forth, like the the record straight ... ... it out "Big Brother" is out of respect, trust, moved. Jackie Chan's influence and charm, has exceeded the film world.
