Shaolin: Andy Lau Teams up with Wu Jing, Xing Yu and Yu Shao Qun Against Nicholas Tse and Xiong Xin Xin

Over 10 million yuan and around 4 months were spent on building the 1:1 replica of Shaolin Temple in Yanshi, Yongkang. Some areas or props were actually built larger for ease of filming or to impart a more numinous feel, such as the giant Buddha statue.

But why not shoot on the actual locale? Director Benny Chan explains, "There are many tourists going to Shaolin Temple, and they could not cordon off the area specifically for us. And we have quite a number of action scenes, which might endanger the surroundings. Moreover, some parts in today's Shaolin Temple, having a more modernised look, are quite different from retro feel we are after."


Director Benny Chan says that Andy Lau and Jackie Chan stand out the most in terms of their performances. He also casts his vote on Wu Jing for the martial arts scenes, "The action scenes are more evenly distributed, everyone gets similar amount of action scenes, but in reality, Wu Jing is better at fighting."

....

Jackie Chan gets more than what he bargains for



While Andy Lau says that Jackie Chan's martial arts skills are too great, he dares not learn from him. Jackie Chan says, "In the film, my two seniors Corey Yuen and Yuen Tak are the martial arts directors, it's not my turn to teach him. Andy Lau has been in the field for many years, why would he need to learn from me. Besides, he picks up anything he learns very quickly."



Jackie Chan is making a special appearance as a Shaolin chef, one who looks rather scruffy and casual and is not aware of his own abilities in kungfu. But actually, he has inadvertently devised a superior skill through cooking, from making mantou and noodle, and is responsible for giving Andy Lau pointers.



Jackie Chan accepted the role due to his promise to producer Albert Yeung as well as his anticipation to play opposite Andy Lau again. Jackie Chan was invited for a major role initially, but due to schedule conflicts with his other project Chinese Zodiac, he could not spare too much time on this film, and picks a cameo role instead," I was told at first that my role would be a cameo, requiring only a few days, now I have to shoot for 14 days, from daybreak to nightfall, it doesn't seem like a cameo..."

To Jackie Chan, the biggest challenge is not cooking but having to espouse Buddhism to Andy Lau while cooking. He has to deliver many difficult and tongue-twisting Zen verses. Often Andy Lau would show him little notes to help him get through.

......

Plot



China is plunged into strife as feuding warlords try to expand their power by warring over neighboring lands. Fuelled by his success on the battlefield, "young" and arrogant warlord Hou Jie (Andy Lau) sneers at Shaolin masters when he beats Jing Neng (Wu Jing) in a duel. But the pride comes before a fall.

Soon, Hou Jie is betrayed by Cao Man (Nicholas Tse), who is the 2nd-in-command and his buddy, and walks right into a trap and gets waylaid by rival warlord Song Hu (Shi Xiong Hong). To make matter worse, his wife (Fan Bing Bing) deserts him, while his child is killed. The crestfallen and heartbroken Hou Jie seeks refuge at Shaolin.

Hou Jie is on the verge of giving up his life when he becomes acquainted with the cheery Shaolin cook Jackie Chan who helps him see through life. He also resolves his conflicts with fellow monks Jing Neng, Jing Hai (Yu Shao Qun) and Jing Kong (Xing Yu). After becoming enlightened, he takes the tonsure.

As the civil unrest spreads and the people suffer, Hou Jie and the Shaolin masters are forced to take a fiery stand against the treacherous warlord Cao Man and his collaborator Suo Xiang Tu (Xiong Xin Xin). Led by Hou Jie, they launch a daring operation

陈木胜导演的《新少林寺》自去年在嵩山少林寺宣布开拍以来，一直广受关注，原因无他，成龙、刘德华两位20年不曾合作的“大哥”这次终于被拉拢在一起。近日，在横店拍摄了半月有余的《新少林寺》首度开放媒体探班。接受采访时，成龙抱怨，原本为情面客串出演的他，现在却是每天从早到晚不停地拍，7天拍了他近14天的戏份。而刘德华则感慨自己不敢向成龙学功夫，而是跟一群六七岁演小和尚的武校学生们一起练武。

还原少林寺三大殿

之前在嵩山少林寺的开机仪式上，导演陈木胜曾透露，要在横店重新搭建一个少林寺。这次在《新少林寺》的方岩片场，记者们就见到了按1：1比例打造的“新少林寺”。一年前还是高希希版《三国演义》中“孟获大营”的荒地，如今已建起正山门、天王殿、藏经阁三座少林寺著名的大殿。据陈木胜介绍，仅这三座主题建筑，置景费已高达千万元人民币，整体工程耗时4个月。

在采访中，去过嵩山少林寺的刘德华，曾指着正山门对记者们说：“没想到这片子这么花钱，造的和真的一模一样。”据陈木胜介绍，就连藏经阁门口的两棵四五层楼高的松树都被美术组用木板加工得和正版一模一样。“只有藏经阁里的佛像是被放大的，因为要在镜头上突出宏伟的效果。”陈木胜说，等电影拍完后，这些建筑都会保留，“太大了，带不走。其实心里有点舍不得，我没想到做得那么真。”

刘德华教“小和尚”跳“斧头帮舞”

从《新警察故事》、《宝贝计划》到《男儿本色》、《保持通话》，陈木胜近年来的作品都是以“打”见长。他坦言，自己新作应该拍一部“不那么打的”，但最终，他被《新少林寺》的剧本打动。更重要的是，成龙和刘德华齐聚，陈木胜说：“我和华仔合作了4部电影，都是十几年前的事了，比如《天若有情》，现在想想仿佛是昨天的事。华仔和（成龙）大哥也很多年没有一起拍电影了，所以这次真是老朋友聚齐了。”

如此能“卖座”的老友齐聚，自然免不了被媒体追问再合作的感受，尤其是据传和成龙有不少对手打戏的刘德华，更是被媒体直接盘问：这次的打戏会像1990年合作的《火烧岛》那场监狱戏一样，那么惨烈吗？“我们的打戏还没拍呢，你现在问我，我只能说不知道。”刘德华说。那华仔私下里会跟成龙套招吗？“我哪敢呀！”刘德华半真半假地说。据华仔透露，最初，因为觉得自己的功夫没那么厉害，还曾考虑过不演《新少林寺》，“我觉得我的功夫不到‘少林寺’的级别。”在详细看了剧本后，刘德华发现自己演的这个因为被灭门而躲进少林寺的军阀在本片中属于“不太会打的那一批”，“所以我私下里都是和那些演‘小和尚’的武校小男孩一起练武，他们差不多都是六七岁。他们教会我很多，而我的回报就是教他们跳舞，他们很喜欢《功夫》里斧头帮的那段舞蹈……我们是互相学习。”

成龙靠刘德华打小抄记台词

对于刘德华自言不敢跟成龙套招练武，成龙的说法是：“这戏里有我两个师兄元奎和元德做武术指导，轮不到我去教他功夫。”而成龙更对刘德华的领悟能力非常有信心，“他这么多年演下来，哪用跟我学！他学什么上手都很快！”

成龙坦言，他本来也不想拍《新少林寺》，“因为我的另外一部电影正在如火如荼地进行中，两边时间有冲突，但是我很早以前就答应要拍这个戏，得兑现承诺，那我就说来客串吧！”成龙现在颇有些“悔意”，“我觉得现在根本不像客串，7天拍了我至少14天的戏量，每天从早到晚不停拍，后面还要拍……”

成龙在《新少林寺》中的角色是伙房的大师傅，做饭难不倒成龙，因为他很早就从父亲那边学了一点，后来跟洪金宝拍《快餐车》，又偷师了不少。不过，要一边炒菜一边说台词，还真让成龙有点分心，“我经常是说话的时候就忘记做动作，而且那些对白很难说，很禅语。好在华仔会在对面提醒我，帮我打小抄。”

Jackie Chan, Andy Lau to star in new Shaolin movie

By MIN LEE (AP) – 17 minutes ago

HONG KONG — The king of kung fu cinema is set to star in a new movie about China's famed shrine of martial arts, the Shaolin Temple.

Jackie Chan will star in the $29 million production, "Shaolin," the latest screen portrayal of the 1,500-year old temple in central China whose famous fighting monks have featured in films by stars such as Bruce Lee and Jet Li, and in the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" with David Carradine.

Chan's Chinese-language film will co-star veteran Hong Kong actor Andy Lau, actor-singer Nicholas Tse and Chinese actress Fan Bingbing.

The production, said to boast 1,000 real fighting monks and a grand scene in which the temple burns down, will start shooting later this year for release in late 2010. It was announced in a joint statement Thursday by four Chinese film studios: the state-run China Film Group Corp., Emperor Motion Pictures, Huayi Brothers Media Corp. and Beijing Silver Moon Productions Ltd.

Hong Kong filmmaker Benny Chan, who worked with Chan on "New Police Story" and "Rob-B-Hood," will direct and Cory Yuen will serve as action co-ordinator. Yuen's credits include "Lethal Weapon 4" and "X-Men."

"Shaolin" will be an updated version of a 1982 movie, "The Shaolin Temple," in which former Chinese kung fu champion Li made his screen debut, playing a boy adopted and trained by Shaolin monks who seeks to avenge the death of his father.

The new project could draw more heat for Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin, who has been accused of high living and seeking publicity for the famed shrine in the Songshan Mountains of central Henan province. He has also faced criticism for upgrading facilities at the once-austere temple.

Shi has agressively promoted the Shaolin brand, and has threatened to sue companies that use the temple's name or image without permission, but the abbot is clearly on board for Chan's project.

"It's worth cheering that we are now working with the most outstanding production team," Shi was quoted as saying in the statement Thursday.

Chan has most recently been shooting a remake of "The Karate Kid" in China with Will Smith's son, Jaden.
