AC (MARIO): Melissa Sugihto, Le Mei-ling (asks) - Your hair is always short. Have you ever thought of doing a role where your hair is long and different? JET: I never got a chance! Twenty years ago, I made my first movie called "Shaolin Temple," it took, all my hair gone. For six years! I played three movies, for six years, always I have no hair! After that (laughter) I never got a chance to make my hair longer. AC (MARIO): Do you want to be a director? JET: No. I want to become a producer. Because I've produced seven movies in Hong Kong. Seven or nine. I think, producers more fun because you make (the) story. You find the best director, the best choreographer, the best actors. Everybody's very talented. Find them, put them in the right order, make a wonderful movie. Finish the dream. I think that's more interesting. AC (MARIO): I think we're running out of time, Michael, ask your last question.
JET: I think with "Romeo Must Die," it's the movie I call a starting movie for Jet Li. Because I never know the audience, what do they want. What do they want to see Jet Li's style? So I put a little bit street fighting, little bit over do, little bit special effects. So, just try to give them each kind of action sequences, different kinds of style. So then, I watch Internet, my website and the "Romeo Must Die" website three hours a day! Trying to figure out what the audience like, what kind of Jet Li style? Now I have some ideas. Because I think, in the next three to five years, few years, action movies will go to the next level. The computer technology can help a lot with the special effects. But they still need the actors to do something by themselves! Even, the special effects guys, you do three movements, stop! (Mario says, "Excuse me!" (laughter) Jet makes some action moves with his body) The next time you need to stop here. Do again, here! So that's it. Oh, we're lost. (laughter) So you have to do it again from the beginning, do this again, and again. It's not easy. So even the special effects is not easy to do. AC (MARIO): What is the biggest fear that you have? Hurting yourself in a rehearsal? JET: I remember many years ago, my first seven years. I made movies, each time I've broken my leg, I've broken my arm, I've broken seven pieces in my body. I'm real scared. I'm scared of making action movies. Because I thought, maybe next time acting, I don't know where it's broke, because all those pieces, seven pieces already broken! Then one day, I just think about it. "Oh, Oh," I need to tell myself. If I want to become an action actor I need to prefer to break my legs again and again because just like people, they want to join the army, they need to think about, if they join the army, they need to go to war to fight, maybe they die. If you want to become a policeman, you already prefer, maybe one day you're going to die on the street. So, I don't have a chance, I love movies, I love action movies, so even broken ten times, I still do it. And I continue to do it (laughter). Go
