That year, when Jackie Chan was on the plane, he had nothing to do to read the magazine, and suddenly a fair-skinned and beautiful girl with long legs appeared in the magazine, which caught Jackie Chan's eyeballs, and after getting off the plane, Jackie Chan told the assistant to find her, this is what he wants the heroine to look like.
As Jackie Chan prepares for his latest kung fu comedy blockbuster, Zodiac, he's been struggling to find a heroine who is both glamorous and talented.
One day, while flipping through a magazine, he was fascinated by a close-up of a girl with amazingly long legs and extraordinary martial arts skills. Jackie Chan immediately realized that this girl was the person he had been seeking.
After a series of rigorous selection rounds, Zhang Lanxin, a talented former national team taekwondo master, stood out and became the obvious choice. At the beginning of the audition, she suspected that the calls were fraudulent, but after receiving a call invitation from Jackie Chan in person, she decided to join.
On that important selection day, there were only more than twenty young and beautiful girls left. Jackie Chan took out a bunch of various high heels and asked them to try a difficult move after putting them on - splitting.
The result was a big disappointment for everyone: not a single actor could do the job. At this time, Zhang Lanxin walked into the room, put on her shoes easily, and completed the challenge with a professional level, shocking everyone present.
When she learned that she was selected to play the heroine and there was a special action scene waiting for her, Zhang Lanxin was full of curiosity: "Why do you practice like this?" Is there any connection between this action and making a movie?"
Jackie Chan smiled and explained that this action is very brilliant, can make the audience remember her at a glance, and completely fits Hollywood standards. In fact, Jackie Chan has already germinated in his heart to recruit his talents, and he can't tolerate this bright star falling into the hands of others.
However, as Zhang Lanxin followed in the footsteps of Jackie Chan and stepped into the Avenue of Fame, it also brought a lot of controversy. In fact, in Jackie Chan's autobiography, he has no other thoughts about Zhang Lanxin.
Mainly because some of the many candidates seem impatient, but she is the only one who not only has no complaints, but actively seeks to improve his performance and strive to be perfect, this professionalism impresses Jackie Chan, which is also the embodiment of his high standards for actors.
The release of "Zodiac" gave Jackie Chan's career a second spring, and also made Zhang Lanxin gain attention because of this drama. The film has created an impressive achievement of about 880 million in China, proving Jackie Chan's strength.
In return for the investment, this $47 million masterpiece grossed 188 million worldwide, bringing huge profits to investors and establishing Jackie Chan's position at the top of the Chinese film box office.
Although Zhang Lanxin, who is a "dragon girl", rose to fame in a short period of time, her subsequent performance did not reach the expected heights. On the contrary, Stephen Chow's popular "Star Girl" can be independent.
Even so, Zhang Lanxin is still grateful for the fate-changing split, which doubled her worth and made her life worry-free. Jackie Chan has also always taken care of Zhang Lanxin, and later "Jedi Escape" and "Railway Flying Tiger" both gave her important roles.
A common phenomenon can be found when looking at the "dragon girls" of all time: they tend to become famous overnight, but soon fall silent. For example, Bai Bing, Lin Peng and others have experienced such ups and downs.
Analyzing the reasons for this, it may be that the image of beating women is too simple, the resources are insufficient, or it is impossible to maintain popularity for a long time by relying on a single means such as hyping news. Therefore, if you want to develop in the entertainment industry for a long time, you really need solid acting skills and excellent strength.
