Taking the character of Big Brother Cheng as the main perspective, the story line of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is as follows:
Jackie steals a treasure and almost gets caught, but is helped by a mysterious man; receives the task of stealing a copper head, gathers a team, and gets acquainted with Professor Guan; goes to Paris and spends three terrifying days, with no surprises, but gets the copper head but finds it to be a fake
, the authentic product is suspected to be in Dubai; in Dubai, he had a head-on conflict with other interest groups, and at the same time he began to doubt Professor Guan's identity. The two protagonists quarreled endlessly, and then parted ways.
New clues: In a rainforest area in South America, Jackie went to a meeting alone and discovered a huge base for counterfeiting cultural relics. She was accidentally discovered. After a struggle, she was arrested and tortured. When she woke up, she found that Professor Guan had infiltrated into the base and used some clever tricks to save herself.
; The two of them fought and asked questions, regained their friendship, and tore down the entire counterfeiting base.
The cultural relic dealer boarded the small plane with the copper head, and Jackie tried to follow him but was unable to do so. At this time, Professor Guan rushed out from nowhere in a Mercedes-Benz convertible, picked up Jackie, and finally caught up with the plane at the moment when it took off.
Jackie, who was driving, jumped on the plane and fought hard with people, while Professor Guan, who was driving a convertible on the ground, was also surrounded by enemies, and his life or death was uncertain.
Of course, both of them played the protagonist role in the end and each killed a group of people. The angry cultural relics dealer planned to throw another copper head into the Vanuatu volcano. Jackie had no time to notify Professor Guan and sneaked into the manned helicopter alone, wearing a glider.
He jumped to the rescue, and while successfully protecting the bronze head, he himself was seriously injured and was dying. When he was about to close his eyes, in the glow of the setting sun, Professor Guan was leading a large group of Interpol police officers.
happy ending.
Interspersed with toilet fights, speeding scenes, various erotic scenes, parkour stunts, and high-tech equipment... The reason why the plot is arranged this way is to avoid a head-on confrontation between Fang Yi and his eldest brother.
This matter has been finalized in "The King of Kung Fu". At that time, the two Kung Fu superstars, Big Brother Cheng and Jet Li, were competing. The media talked about who was stronger and who was weaker, which made the two superstars quite unhappy. The two-hero drama is not a classic one.
The clown is a cold character. In this kind of scene, direct comparison of strength and weakness should be avoided, so there is no situation where two people are fighting in the same time and space throughout the whole process.
The same goes for the "South American Jungle Base" scene currently being filmed in a Beijing studio. Fang Yi and Big Brother Cheng have different styles, so it's best to work on their own. This story structure is already very mature.
So what is Professor Guan’s identity?
The film will not point it out specifically, but will show it through a detail. In the Easter egg at the end of the film, Jackie is visited by Professor Guan after recovering from a serious injury. In the wall of honor of the hospital, he sees Guan wearing military uniforms and holding a micro-pump.
A photo showing half of the professor's face.
He was about to say: "Are you a special forces soldier?"
But before the words were spoken, Professor Guan put on his glasses and said first, "I do have a doctorate in history and I am currently teaching in France."
Jackie then said to himself, "I want to leave the photo here too." Not only did it imply that he would no longer be a treasure thief in the future, but it also hinted that it belonged to Jackie the Eagle's trilogy of stories that spanned decades.
end.
It's quite cliché, so it needs cool enough action scenes.
For a whole month after that, Fang Yi and his eldest brother were filming fight scenes. Because they left early in the morning and came back late too often, Liu Tianxian came to visit the crew twice, not to check on the work, but to feel sorry for her little boyfriend.
"Why do you have to take care of so many things?" she complained.
Fang Yi replied: "Those who are capable work hard."
"Then I don't see you doing any hard work here... You haven't even turned through your books. Is it because my classes are no longer attractive?"
Fang Yi understood: "I will make up for the progress."
One time when Fang Yi was performing a routine with three or four people, he was hit on his lower abdomen. When he opened his clothes, there were bruises on his belly, which made Teacher Liu so angry that he almost dropped his pearls: "Every time I come to see you, it's because I'm angry with you, not others."
To be angry with you means to be angry with you."
She said: "I can repay others when I am angry, but I can never repay you when I am angry with you. Director Fang, this is called being arrogant. You are bullying me."
Fang Yi chose to talk to him: "I heard that you are quite brave when filming, and you almost died a few times."
She widened her eyes and said nonchalantly: "Then it's okay for me to do that myself, but not for you."
"Why?"
"Because... because..." She couldn't think of a reason, so she could only hug Fang Yi, "I really hope you finish the filming soon and don't get more injured. I heard that women can bear more pain than men...
…It would be nice if I could help you carry a little bit of it. Because the pain in the body is better than the pain in the heart.”
"Oh oh oh~~~"
At this time, Guo Fan would make a fuss and raise his head exaggeratedly, "I remembered something and I have to leave immediately."
He also followed suit, leaving a small space for the two of them.
Now both the Hong Kong and Mainland cast members are aware of the relationship between the two. In fact, the eldest brother Cheng is more bothered by going to the set to fall in love, but if this partner is Fang Yi, he won't be able to talk much.
After all, most of the time, it's the eldest brother who is the one doing the nudging, so what can you do to force him to do it?
After Liu Tianxian left, the eldest brother Cheng answered his behind-the-scenes interview. Chen Xunqi asked, "Why doesn't the eldest brother let his sister-in-law come to visit the class?"
The eldest brother made a fatherly statement that will be criticized in ten years: "Men have men's things, and women have women's things."
"Then do you agree that the male should lead the outside and the female should lead the inside?"
The eldest brother Cheng shook his head: "I have several billions. How can I let a woman take charge of the house? Do you think we are playing house? Of course we have to invite top students from Oxford and Cambridge to manage the family fund."
"Will I give my sister-in-law equity? My impression is that Director Fang gave me equity. Wow, he is so rich and willing to give up."
The eldest brother Cheng asked back: "This... documentary of mine won't be broadcast immediately, right?"
"of course not."
"How long does it take to put it out?"
"Maybe a hundred years? You write an autobiography and introduce the ups and downs you have experienced in the past few decades, and then lift the ban after a hundred years. This will not offend anyone."
The eldest brother Cheng then said: "I won't give my woman a penny!"
The topic was so loud that even Fang Yi couldn't help but look sideways and listened to his eldest brother Cheng's explanation. He said: "I started as a dragon and tiger master. I am used to seeing brothers who are injured, disabled or dead."
, not even injured or disabled... I entrusted all my money to my wife and went out to film for a year or two. Then I came home and found that the building was empty and not even the furniture was left! I swear, I will not let myself fall into this situation.
