Character experience

With deep eyes, bronze complexion and 1.8 meters tall, Ji Feilong is a man. Recently, the reporter interviewed Ji Feilong who returned to Haikou.

The dream of film in outdoor cinema

Ji Feilong told reporters that he was born in an ordinary cadre family in Lingao County, Hainan Province, and ranked second among his five siblings. During his six years in primary school, because of his father's work, he also got a small benefit, that is, to watch free movies in the open-air cinema of his family's home every night. At seven o'clock every night, he would come to the cinema early, find a seat with good vision, and go home after watching two movies.

"But not all the movies. My parents let me see them." Ji Feilong recalls with a smile that his father allowed him to watch patriotic movies. "I can't help being lured by movies to watch some fight movies secretly. My father always catches me home." "It was a fantastic time," he said. "I used to fantasize about being in that colorful movie world and playing a role in it. It was so enjoyable." It was when I was a child that the dream of jifeilong's film sprouted quietly. But after all, it was only a small county. He knew that only when he went out to a big city could he have a chance to realize his dream. In 1997, he was admitted to a university in Guangzhou and went out of Hainan.

Go out alone, spread the net everywhere and sell yourself

"My mother advised me to come back to Hainan if I couldn't do it, and I tried a lot of work, and I was more determined to go to the performing arts circle." Ji Feilong decided to quit his job, signed up to join the film and television performance class, and began to learn performance. Performance to learn to express, but at the beginning of Ji Feilong's Mandarin with a strong home accent, but also ridiculed. "You have a good image, but if you go to make a print advertisement, you can't say anything. Just make a movie." Ji Feilong was deeply stimulated by other people's words. He worked hard to learn Putonghua. He bought a lot of teaching materials and read them while listening to the news and radio. In his spare time, he buried himself in learning the language. Nowadays, it is difficult for Ji Feilong to recognize Hainan accent in his Putonghua.

Gradually, Ji Feilong began to run in some TV dramas and act as a stand in actor. He got at least 30 yuan a day. He rented in a "very small" house and lived in a tight life. "He didn't have any money in his pocket when he was in the poorest. It didn't matter if he ate instant noodles every day. But he was at a loss about the future, which was the most painful." Ji Feilong said that during that difficult period, thanks to the encouragement from the elders and friends of Lingao villagers in Guangzhou, especially the guidance from his mentor ye xianen, who taught him to have a firm belief in success.

Ji Feilong said: "at that time, I often volunteered and sent a lot of information to show companies to find opportunities." Since taking part in the China Film and television future idol competition last year, Ji Feilong has stood out from it. Oscar judge Barry met Ji Feilong in the competition, and praised Ji Feilong for his tough guy Xiaosheng image, calling him "the most beautiful man in the East". Now, he has finally got a rare opportunity. He has been selected as an important role in three films, and he has been selected as an advertising spokesman by another company. His future is bright.

Selected by Hollywood producers to play Mao Zedong

If you sharpen a sword in ten years, success belongs to those who are prepared. Jifeilong is like an artifact carefully carved, waiting for the sharp blade to come out of its sheath. At the recent Hong Kong International Film and television show, Hollywood filmmakers from the United States selected Ji Feilong from hundreds of candidates. They are shooting a big movie about Chinese story, in which Ji Feilong will play Mao Zedong in his youth. "The producer said that my image is very suitable. When he asked me if I would like to, I naturally would like to. You know, influenced by my father, I have taken Mao Zedong as my idol and example since I was young." Ji Feilong talks about the process of being elected.

Ji Feilong said that he is playing the role of the southern master in the movie "a generation of masters" directed by Wong Kar Wai. This time, he specially took time to rush back to Hainan from the shooting place. When he cooperated with director Wong Kar Wai, what he felt most was the director's pursuit of perfection in art. "Sometimes the director can shoot one or two scenes for a day. Every time the director shouts" over ", the people on the shooting scene can't help clapping and congratulating. My heart is greatly shocked."

"Seduce more producers to Hainan"

"At first, many people looked at my appearance and mistook me for a foreigner, but I would tell them with pride that I came from Hainan, China." Ji Feilong said that he has deep feelings for his hometown, and he would like to do something for his hometown if he has the chance.

Ji Feilong told reporters that he had two screenplays about mental illness. In the future, if he has the opportunity, he must raise money to make a film of his own, which is not only a dream come true, but also a film of social significance. Ji Feilong said that in the next step, he will play "China 007" in the international film "twin code". This is a suspense film about anti international financial fraud, initially scheduled to be shot in the United States and Guangzhou. After his recommendation, the producers of the film will come to Hainan to investigate the scene. If possible, the film will also be shot in Hainan.

"The charm of movies is magical. Through movies, people all over the world can quickly know that there is such a beautiful sunshine, air and sea in Hainan. So whenever I have a chance, I will lure more producers to Hainan to make movies. I hope that through movies, people all over the world will arouse their curiosity about Hainan and come to Hainan to play." Ji Feilong said excitedly.

Guangzhou New Star Ji Feilong's twin code

A financial action suspense story film "twin code", jointly produced by Guangzhou filmmakers, Hong Kong production team and Hollywood film consultant team, has completed its preliminary filming recently. The film will be shot in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and New York, and will be released in the United States and China simultaneously. Ji Feilong, an actor who has worked hard in Guangzhou for many years, has become one of the leading actors in this big production.

"China dragon" flying over Guangzhou tower

In the "twin code", Guangzhou tower made an amazing appearance, which is largely due to the efforts of the film's main investors. The first thing its producers thought of was to let the landmark buildings in Guangzhou into the mirror. "Many American distributors are shocked by the charm of" little Manyao "after watching the film. It's no wonder that the foreign audience's understanding of Chinese cities is mostly limited to Beijing and Shanghai. They have little chance to know how beautiful Guangzhou is before. "

Ji Feilong, the hero of the film, revealed that the background of the film is the global financial tsunami. The billionaire's family was destroyed overnight. Before he died, he left his account information of tens of billions of dollars of property. The information is stored in a crystal U-disk necklace, but it needs two passwords to solve it, one of which is hidden in the Guangzhou tower. So many forces went to find the code, including Ji Feilong's international detective. After a fight, Ji Feilong offers the most thrilling scene of the film - "flying down" from the top of Guangzhou tower. This shot has been highly praised by American distributors, and Barry morrow, the film's art consultant and screenwriter of rainman, has even nicknamed geefei dragon "Chinese dragon". The film will appear as China's only action suspense film at the Los Angeles Film fair next month, the producer said.

Ordered by many American film makers

In addition to the Guangzhou tower, the twin code also takes pictures of the international financial building in Hong Kong, Wall Street in New York, Guangzhou of the times and the statue of liberty. As a suspense film with the background of international finance, Barry morrow has been involved from the script stage to ensure that the film is suitable for Chinese and Western audiences in taste.

More than 18 million yuan was spent on the early shooting of the film, almost all of which was spent on production, including the car chasing scenes that are indispensable in today's blockbusters. There are also many action scenes in the film. The cast invited Ma Yucheng, a famous martial arts director in Hong Kong, to be the action director. In the late special effects, there are many big scenes with great ornamental value. Nowadays, movies have been ordered by many film dealers in the United States. The producer of the film revealed: "the production cost in the United States is very expensive, but our films are mostly made by the production team in Hong Kong, with fast efficiency and good quality, but the price is very different. In addition, love, plot, action and suspense factors are added to the script planning, and this type of film is most popular in the U.S. market. "

Zhang Ziyi's pay is too high and rejected

Regarding the leading role, "the twin code" did not plan to invite the so-called "big card" from the beginning. Ji Feilong once made a guest star of a southern master in Wang Jiawei's a great master, so he got to know Zhang Ziyi. He revealed that he had strongly invited Zhang Ziyi to join the "twin code", and Zhang Ziyi also said that she liked it very much after watching the script. However, her remuneration of 18 million yuan was prohibitive. "We can't accept the price," the producer said. In China, there are few stars with box office guarantee. What's more, if a large sum of money is given to an actor, how can production not be discounted? " Today, in addition to Ji Feilong, the film also stars Luo Jiaying, Lu Haipeng, Sun Xing, Jiang Haowen and other powerful veteran actors and American actor Jonathan Kos read. In addition, there are some American actors who have been filming in China all the year round. These people are not expensive, but they ensure the fidelity of the role.

Ji Feilong made his debut in Guangzhou and has been an actor for many years, but it's his first time to be a leading actor. "Over the years, I have always been advised to go north," he told reporters,
