Today I am honored to participate in the main creative exchange meeting of "Flying Eagle Eddie" at Sparkle Roll. This is also the second time I have watched this film. After the screening, I asked Eddie Edwards, the prototype character of "Flying Eagle Eddie", but I didn’t expect Eddie, Talen Egerton, and Hugh Jackman to answer my questions. My question is, "I read the report that about 15% of the film was adapted from Eddie’s own real experience. I would like to ask which parts of the film are real and which are fictional? And did Eddie have any Teach some skiing skills to Mr. Tarren?"

Eddie: I have watched this movie twice. First of all, a movie about my life story is already great. In fact, in addition to the 10% you mentioned, I think there are a lot of symbolic content, and the content related to my life is true. Some are slightly modified, but it should be more than 10%, about 40%. It is synchronized and consistent with my real life. I think they have made this movie very well, and their intentions are very appropriate. I go every time. I cry when I watch this movie, and I hope to watch it again. Moderator: Eddie thinks that the completion of the filming of this film is already the greatest sense of honor for him. If 10% of the original director said, but after watching this film, he found that there is not so little, at least 40% After all, the film is a beautiful artistic entity, and there will be some jokes in it. Eddie bursts into tears every time he sees this movie.

Hugh Jackman: I think this question is very good. I hope everyone can understand after watching this movie. Some of the great things about Eddie are true. For example, like the ending part, he decided to skip some scenes the night before. We asked Eddie later, and he was in the hospital too. His bones have been broken many times, and almost every bone in his body has been broken. He also talked about having met 30 coaches in his life and had a lot of closed doors. So a lot of the amazing content in the film is actually the real experience of his life. Moderator: He said that he respects Eddie himself very, very much, and the most exciting and shocking things in the film are true. For example, Mr. Eddie once challenged the 70-meter platform, and then bravely climbed to 90 meters. These are true. And almost all the bones in his body have been broken because he loves the sport very much, so we also have to pay tribute to Eddie. Next question, did Eddie teach Talen some experience? Hugh Jackman: We did have a lot of exchanges. We ate a lot of biscuits. We drank tea and biscuits together in the UK and complained about the weather. Talen: I really want to meet Eddie because I play his role, which is a story about him. We have already talked about the plot of the story just now. Personally speaking, I personally want to play him, so I hope to really show his spirit and do my best, so I hope to be like him, I see him When I saw that he was a very generous and warm person, he was very determined, very enthusiastic, and very devoted to what he did, which is what I hope I can pass through in this role. Spirit. Moderator: I was inspired by his spirit. After seeing him, I found out that he was really like the legend. He insisted on the concept of his belief until the end, so Talen was also moved by his own spirit. I took such a film without hesitation.

    Dreaming of this thing is always worth tears, isn't it?

    It's a decent sports inspirational movie, and the reaction at the end that is even more enthusiastic than winning the championship really embarrassed me. Uncle Hugh, who wears short sleeves in the ice and snow, has a concave shape; Dan Dan acts like a curious baby, so he refuses to...
