A few days ago, Jackie Chan was on the hot search.
At the age of 69, he showed up to participate in an event.
I saw a Mao suit, full of energy.
Facing the camera, there is talk and laughter.
But, shockingly, the hair and beard turned white.
"My eldest brother is actually 70 years old, but in my mind, I still see him when I was a child. ”
"The feeling of being slapped by reality suddenly, Jackie Chan in my memory is still black-haired Shunliang is drunk boxing, and suddenly his head is full of silver threads. ”
"I always thought he was the same age as my parents, but he was the same age as my grandparents. ”
In fact, this is very normal for ordinary people.
But for Jackie Chan, there is a trace of disbelief.
Because in our minds, he is neat and high-spirited.
It can not only fly the eaves and walk the wall, but also can be an enemy.
Like Jet Li said-
"He's like a superman. ”
And every year, we get to see his new work.
Like recently, the new movie "Legend" is about to be released.
This made people forget for a while, it turns out that Superman also has a twilight time.
The years have spared no one.
Jackie Chan is already old.
Jackie Chan was born in 1954.
Perhaps, his appearance is destined to have one more kung fu superstar in the world.
At birth, it weighed 11 and a half pounds.
Throughout his childhood, he was physically stronger than other children.
When he was 4 or 5 years old, his father still took him to morning exercises and boxing every day.
And Jackie Chan is active by nature and loves to fight.
Therefore, people around him describe him as a "wild child".
Later, the school couldn't stand Jackie Chan's stubbornness and persuaded parents to take their children home.
In desperation, they sent their son to a special school-
Master Yu Zhanyuan's Chinese Theatre Academy.
Jackie Chan's road to martial arts has also opened up.
When he was first admitted to the hospital, the masters saw that he was still young and a newcomer.
Maintain everywhere and love it.
But when Jackie Chan adapted, he began a hellish life.
There are three exercises in one day.
Except for eating, and 6 hours of sleep, the rest of the time is practiced.
Eat, only leftovers.
Sleep, only covered with a thin mat.
In addition, there are all kinds of corporal punishment.
According to Jackie Chan's recollection:
"In those 10 years, I only had one illness, which seemed incredible, but in fact, it was because I was too scared to get sick, and I had to practice more when I was sick. ”
However, if you survive the hardships of training, you will be able to enjoy the blessings that are given.
With martial arts, Jackie Chan can often go out to perform.
With it, fame also rose.
In the end, he became a member of the "Seven Little Blessings".
For the future, he has laid a lot of confidence.
After graduation, Jackie Chan followed his senior brother Sammo Hung and stepped into the entertainment industry.
When he first entered the industry, he didn't understand anything, and he had no martial arts.
There are no job opportunities at all.
It became a problem to even eat.
But fortunately, years of training and life have allowed Jackie Chan to fight hard.
Wherever there is a lack of group performances, he happily goes.
Sure enough, opportunities are always reserved for those who persevere.
once played a dead corpse, and was praised by the director for "dying the best".
With this, he also successfully entered the martial arts industry and began to emerge.
In order to get more opportunities to perform, Jackie Chan tries his best every time.
If I want to fall, I will fall hard.
If I want to fight, I will fight hard.
Even if a shot has to be shot more than a dozen times, there are no complaints.
And relying on real fights and real falls, in the era of the most rapid development of film and television, Jackie Chan stood out.
Gradually, people began to ask him to be the leading actor.
In 1976, Jackie Chan was invited to serve as the male lead in "New Jingwumen".
But after the movie came out, the effect was very poor.
The reason is that his image is not tough enough to make it unacceptable to the audience.
In this regard, although Jackie Chan was very uncomfortable, he did not give up.
Instead, I tried to specialize and try to find a new model.
Finally, a "Serpentine Trickster" was born.
Not only did it hit Hong Kong, but it also affected the rest of Asia.
Kung fu comedy, completely subverting people's imagination.
Next, one after another excellent works appeared in people's eyes.
"Master Dragon", "Plan A", "Police Story"...
And with that, there was an injury.
As we all know, when he was young, Jackie Chan was filming with a "don't die".
Dare to write any dangerous action, and dare to do it yourself.
In "Plan A", he fell from a 15-meter-high bell tower.
In "Red Fan Zone", his foot still has an old injury, and he completed a shocking jump on a 30-meter-high building.
and "Who Am I", which is called "the most dangerous action scene in history".
On the 21st floor of the Rotterdam Tongtai Building, jump down.
There was a picture of Jackie Chan's injuries circulating on the Internet.
Bone displacement, depression, right shoulder dislocation, cerebral hemorrhage......
Whichever one you want, it's shocking.
But Jackie Chan withstood these pains and made one movie after another.
His "fight" also shocked foreign audiences.
"Who Am I", "Rush Hour" and "Kung Fu Dream", which were filmed in Hollywood, were box office hits.
Jackie Chan，响彻在整个欧美大陆。
Even, it has become the admiration of some foreigners.
Many movies have paid tribute to Jackie Chan in the play.
In 2016, the Oscars presented Jackie Chan with the "Lifetime Achievement Award".
For the first time in history, 50 judges voted unanimously.
The influence can be seen.
Now I am careful about it, in fact, I still have a real sense of Jackie Chan's aging.
Returning to the past few years, Jackie Chan's works are not very high.
Even, it was called a "bad movie" by netizens.
The core reason is that it can't be moved.
Over the years, although Jackie Chan has maintained a high film output rate.
But it is obvious that the content is "transforming".
On the surface, it still focuses on action comedy.
But those hand-to-hand, exciting, and life-threatening "Jackie Chan elements".
It's rarely seen anymore.
Jackie Chan himself once said frankly-
"Be mentally prepared for this to be the last time you play. ”
It can also be seen from some video tidbits that Jackie Chan's strength is inadequate.
I hate to admit it, but I really can't escape reality.
Jackie Chan has gone to the age of the ancients.
Our youth has also passed for a long time.
However, the wind is still blowing, and the road is still walking.
It's just time that changes, you and I are eternal.
reminds me that Jackie Chan promised fans -
As long as I can play for a day, I will continue to shoot.
I believe that in future films, even if the action is not as good as before, he will still fight hard.
