Hello guys this is paul miller from england.
I have been a practitioner of the martial arts now for the last 22 years i started when i was four years old i currently teach lau gar kung fu and i am studying bagua zhang and ling kong jing.
the reason for me to post this message is to find out if anyone would have the information i need to contact either jackie chan or jet li or at least their agents
i am interested in doing some stunt work and maybe appearing in a movie this is my dream but i have been unable to find the addresses over here as the people who i have asked to help are very stone age in their approach.

my e mail address is wushu12003@yahoo.co.uk
any my cell phone number is 07780 940206 i am not sure though what the international code is for you to dial out to england

If we are your last hope, your in trouble.

Try Jetli.com, you might find some one who is associated with Jet in person; for example the dude who translates and inputs Jet's replies to his fanmail. Just a thought.

Wouldn't you be better off finding your local film industry, and trying to get work through them? I mean, I only know a few stunt men, but that's what they all did, and they've been doing it for a long time, and are still trying to get gigs with the people you're looking for.

In otherwords, you need to develop a resume, so to speak, just like any other job. Make a demo tape of your stuff, they're not just gonna hire you sight unseen. In the process, learn about the industry and try to get some smaller work in it to cut your teeth on. On the main forum, make a post to the attention of African Tiger, I believe he has a stunt career. Ask him for advise on what you need to be able to do and provide to be a stuntman.

OK, you've played guitar for 20 years and you're pretty good, but you've never played a live gig in your life. Now you decide to get into a band so you go on a forum and ask if anyone knows how to contact The Rolling Stones, cos you really want to make it to the big time and play guitar for them.

Of course, people would laugh their arses off and tell you to start with some unknown bands, make a name for yourself and work your way up like everybody else has.

Get the picture?

Have to agree with KC Elbow.

First you need a resume and than you need to get into a firm/agency that specialises in that type of work.

Maybe going to HK or similar and trying to get into one of those agencies/companies might be a good idea, I think you need to train with them for 3~5yrs before they will really accept you.
Be warned the competition will be fierce.

Most chinese productions seem to get their talents from there or from one of the Chinese dance schools.

As a non-chinese maybe a background and experience in doing stunt work will also benefit.

Movie-MA and the everyday MA that is being taught is quiet different.

Best of luck.

P.S.: I saw one making of a Jackie Chan movie where he used a western MA champion as the "bad" guy, Jackie got so frustrated with him that he nearly kicked him off the set.

Wich movie was that? WHO AM I?

[Laughing Cow]

Kristoffer.

Could have been in "Who am I", not sure his movies normally go under either the chinese or european name over here.

It's like the cars, they get different names in different countries.


Cheers.
