"Empty hands" is the theme song of Jackie Chan's self directed and self performed film "Twelve Chinese Zodiac", sung by Jackie Chan, Zhou Huajian and Zhang Zhenyue.

Creative background

"International superstar" Jackie Chan and "national singer king" Zhou Huajian, after singing "true hero" in 1993, cooperated again for 19 years, directing and performing the theme song "empty hands" for Jackie Chan's chorus trailer of "twelve zodiac". Jackie Chan personally invited Zhou Huajian to tailor the theme song of the movie trailer. Without saying a word, Zhou Huajian took over the important task. After watching the highlights of the movie, he suddenly thought that Zhang Zhenyue's published demo "empty hands" was in line with the spirit of the movie, so he invited well-known Lyricist Zhan Demao and original Zhang Zhenyue to participate in rewriting "empty hands" and keep the original In addition to Zhang Zhenyue's free and easy rap, the whole song is composed of atmosphere and humor. Jackie Chan, who has a full schedule, takes time out of his busy schedule to record and shoot MV in Taiwan. As soon as they meet, they can't stop talking. Even if they shoot MV at night, they are still full of vitality. They also sing "cute" funny and humorous words to make the working atmosphere relaxed and interesting. Jackie Chan was infected with "word forgetting syndrome" by Hua Jian when shooting the video. Not only was there a big character newspaper on the scene, but the staff also broadcast the lyrics word by word, so that their "word forgetting syndrome" did not break out. Moreover, the friendly and professional working attitude of the two brothers made it worthwhile for the staff to work overtime. it is reported that the film "Zodiac" is Jackie Chan's 101st film and the last intense action film, which has been prepared for seven years and shot for a year and a half. Jackie Chan and Zhou Huajian's re cooperation is longer than the film's preparation time. Jackie Chan took the opportunity to joke that when Zhou Huajian and Li Zongsheng sang the chorus "recently more boring", they didn't invite him to join them. Jackie Chan jokingly said: "I was also very upset at that time!" Fortunately, Jackie Chan did not join the chorus, otherwise this song may become Jackie Chan's theme song again. Jackie Chan humbly thinks that he has no chance to go to the public platform when singing alone, but as long as he sings with Zhou Huajian, the rendering power of the song can bring to the audience. Referring to the 1993 duel "true hero", Jackie Chan said with a smile: "Zhou Huajian brought me into the singing world with this song, but now he regrets it, because later this song became my theme song. Wherever I went, people would ask me to sing" true hero "or" make me happy and let me worry. " He jokingly said: "Hua Jian has always been reluctant to sing with me. Now I have found the reason, because I can sing again..." Hua Jian then said, "I'll lose my job!" Jackie Chan then jokingly said, "this time, Hua Jian realized that I was really popular, so now I'm" reluctant "to come back and ask him to sing with me." From the dialogue, we can feel their deep friendship, excellent tacit understanding, and the skill of singing together. "Empty hands" expresses the feelings of life, describes life as a dream, now have are only temporary, not really belong to us, the lyrics said: life ah, originally a dream, dream, wake up empty handed. Love ah, I hope to have results, dry tears. Tomorrow is still going to be Jackie Chan said: "this song is about life. It tells us to cherish the people in front of us, the people around us and every day. This is also a lot of messages to be conveyed in the play of the Chinese zodiac." Zhou Huajian, on the other hand, said that he hadn't sung popular songs for a long time. He thought that "empty handed" would be a theme that ordinary friends can resonate with. He was also very happy that he had a rare opportunity to cooperate with Jackie Chan. He said: "it's very easy and happy to write and sing songs with Jackie Chan! Fortunately, I'm not filming with my elder brother. The filming team has a lot of martial arts moves, which is quite hard. " "Twelve Chinese Zodiac" was released on December 20, 2012. The story describes Jackie Chan's role as JC, who returns the last four animal heads of Yuanmingyuan to China.

lyric

[Cheng] travel all over the southeast and northwest, travel all over the place, and then you know that life is so absurd; you are still hesitating at thirty and forty; the hero youth has gone home in a twinkling of an eye; you travel all over the southeast and northwest, and then you know that love is so absurd; you have a good time, but you don't love the beauty; you have a lifetime of trauma after the sea withers and the stone is rotten; you wake up empty handed Empty [week] love I hope to have results dry my tears tomorrow still has to pass week travel all over the southeast, northwest, and all directions I knew that joys and sorrows are impermanent it's easy to get together and share the joys and sorrows taste the ups and downs alone travel all over the southeast, northwest, and all directions I knew that ups and downs are impermanent there's only one piece of paper in the world there's only a long way to go A face of wind and frost life was originally a dream dream wake up empty handed love hope to have results wipe away tears tomorrow is still to live empty hands and empty pockets gamble on whether life will go crazy life will not bring death will not take away it's better for two big brothers to give me all the money for the sake of interests for selfish desire to cheat friends fly to the top only skin in the world This experience may not be a dream. How many secrets are there at the end of the road. Friendship, love and family. These three things can't be practiced in this life. Let's go on in the next life. It was originally a dream. Oh, I have a dream. I wake up empty handed and love. I hope there will be results wipe away tears tomorrow or to live life originally a dream oh... Dream wake up empty handed love I hope to have results oh... Wipe away tears tomorrow or to live
