1911 Opens TIFF
Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) announced today that "1911," starring and directed by the international superstar, Jackie Chan ("Drunken Master", "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon"), has been selected as the special opening film for the 24th TIFF. Also, Jackie Chan will be making an appearance at the festival. A powerful epic tale about the founding of the Republic of China, "1911" took ten years to plan and cost nearly 30 million dollars to make.
As previously announced, "The Three Musketeers" will be the official opening film for this year's TIFF. "1911" will be the special opening film. This is the first time since the 10th TIFF in 1997 that two films have been selected as opening films. The two blockbuster films from Europe/US and Asia are sure to cheer up Japan.
General Director: Jackie Chan
Director: Zhang Li
Cast: Jackie Chan, Lee Bing Bing, Winston Chao, Joan Chan, Jaycee Chan
The film will be released by Toei (Japan) on November 5, 2011.
During the time of the last Emperor and lamenting the Qing dynasty's continual course of decline, Sun Yat-sen stood up to create a new nation and became the Father of the Chinese Revolution. Huang Xing (Jackie Chan), the commander of the Revolutionary Army, committed himself to every battle as the right hand of Sun Yat-sen, who had links to Japan. The stories of genuine heroes, who have never been recognized in Japan, and the youth who sacrificed themselves for the Revolution have finally been told. Jackie Chan, in his 100th film, is the general director and Zhang Li, the cinematographer for "Red Cliff", is directing the film.
Message from Jackie Chan
I am privileged to have my 100th film selected as the special opening film for this significant year in which Japan has taken its first steps toward recovery. When a major disaster strikes, heroes arise who are willing to sacrifice themselves. So I hope I will never know any heroes. At this time, as Japan faces the aftermath of disaster, I truly hope my film can be of help to the people of Japan. I look forward to meeting you in Japan.

1911 and the Oriental Princess
The Cruise ship - the Oriental Princess is China's first luxury passenger liner. Built in 1967 she has a long and interesting history as China's first flagship. She took Zhou Enlai to visit East Africa and later was sold and used as a floating casino in Hong Kong and Macao. She is now docked in Tianjin and is a floating hotel.

Over the years several movies have filmed scenes on board. One of the latest was "1911" which filmed several scenes on deck. The engineer Bai Rongsheng who has worked on the ship since 2004, said that the number of scenes filmed for 1911 were very few, but that Jackie was very particular about the details. The crew painted the railings black and then painted them back to the original colour after filming was finished. He said that the crew had very rigid rules while on board. No smoking, no rubbish left anywhere, do not destroy or damage any part of the ship, and restore everything to the condition it was when they were finished.
Jackie made the comment that if he "knew that there was such a cruise ship earlier, I would have long come and filmed here."

the film "Revolution" crew again, this time, and the crew boarded the ship, as well as the general director of the Jackie Chan film.
Bai Rongsheng said the film "Revolution" on the boat shows are small, but Jackie Chan's requirements are very detailed, the film may be more emphasis on results, so they handled very carefully the deck, the railings are painted blue black, "Of course, after the show finished, they stood still and then brush them back." Bairong Sheng said, for every one to shoot the crew on board, they have some of the rigid requirements, such as not smoking, can not stay under the garbage, can not destroy the ship's facilities and structures, regardless of how when filming the changes, to be finished after the recovery.
Jackie Chan and his crew on the boat, the major actors in the four make-up of several rooms, and other actors make-up at the pier. Because the board wanted to make night play, so all lenses are to be completed, is already more than ten at night. Tight shot, come and gone, but Jackie Chan in to when leave not forget to Bairong Sheng said: "If I had known there is such a cruise, I would have to come and film here."
电影《辛亥革命》剧组又来了，这一次，和剧组一起登上船的，还有该片的总导演成龙.
白荣生说，电影《辛亥革命》在船上拍的戏不多，但成龙的要求很细致，可能是电影更加讲求效果，所以，他们把甲板处理得非常仔细，蓝色的栏杆都刷成了黑色，“当然，拍完戏后，他们还要再按原样刷回去。”白荣生说，对于每一个来船上拍戏的剧组，他们都有一些硬性的要求，比如不能吸烟，不能留下垃圾，不能破坏船内的设施和结构，无论拍戏时进行了怎样的改动，拍完后都要复原。
成龙和他的剧组上了船后，主要演员在四层的几个客房里化妆，其他演员在码头化妆。 因为在船上要拍夜景戏，所以，待全部镜头都完成后，已经是晚上十点多了。拍摄紧张，来去匆匆，但成龙在要离开时还不忘对白荣生说：“要是早知道有这样一条游轮，我早就来拍戏了。”
