Today's Jackie Chan
The time was fixed on March 11, and on major social platforms, netizens uploaded a set of photos of Jackie Chan participating in activities in Sichuan.
However, just over a month ago, he was still showing an exhilarating demeanor on the stage of the Chinese New Year Gala, but at this moment, the moment they saw him again, people were shocked to find that he had aged off a cliff, his temples were gray, and his eyes were full of traces of time.
In the face of such a change, the majority of viewers could not accept it, and expressed their confusion and reluctance on the Internet.
"When I saw Jackie Chan in the cinema choosing to take the stairs, I really realized that he was really old. A netizen sighed. Prior to this, Jackie Chan still maintained his former demeanor in the Spring Festival Gala, but when he appeared at the sealing ceremony of Luzhou Laojiao, everyone found that he had become so old.
Those eyes that once sparkled are now covered by the traces of time. This makes it unacceptable for those viewers who have grown up watching Jackie Chan movies since childhood.
The Jackie Chan in my memory always has short black and bright hair, a kind smile on his face, and he is full of energy.
The precipitous aging of this kung fu superstar has made countless people unable to believe the reality in front of them. They expressed their reluctance and worries on the Internet. After all, Jackie Chan was once the youth idol of a generation, and now seeing him so old is really emotional, and it is difficult to accept such a change.
Jackie Chan's hard work and tenacity
As a generation of kung fu superstars, Jackie Chan was able to leave such a brilliant achievement in the film industry, and the effort and sweat behind it were undoubtedly huge. As early as the 60s, he began to learn martial arts, and since then he has embarked on the road of acting.
In his 56-year career, he made more than 200 films, almost breaking his bones.
In the 70s of the last century, Jackie Chan, who was only 21 years old, was just a martial artist who had just stepped into the entertainment industry, and could only play some inconsequential supporting roles in the film. However, even such a role made Jackie Chan taste hardships.
During the filming of the movie "Shaolin Gate", in order to pursue realism, Jackie Chan and his brother Sammo Hung both had a "real gun" fight scene, which resulted in Jackie Chan losing consciousness and almost dying.
At that time, filmmaking skills were not yet sophisticated, and in order to achieve realistic results, the actors had to be personally involved in all the fight scenes, and almost every move was a real addition of punches and kicks.
In this regard, Mr. Jackie Chan recalled affectionately in an interview with reporters: "Those years were too hard! Many times, I was even beaten unconscious during the filming process, and almost lost my life" However, it was with that fighting spirit regardless of life and death that Jackie Chan, who was still energetic the next day, persevered in the film career for ten years.
Finally in the 1985 movie "Police Story", he gradually emerged from an inconspicuous small role and became the protagonist of the film. However, he did not let up his strict requirements for himself, and in the face of the 24-meter-high live chandelier, Jackie Chan did not hesitate to jump.
Such thrilling action scenes made him famous in the film industry, and at the same time attracted the attention of Hollywood According to rumors, it is precisely because of the shooting of this scene that almost all insurance companies in China have blacklisted Jackie Chan.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to 1994, when Jackie Chan was 44 years old. However, he once again challenged the limits of life. In the movie "Red Fan Zone", he jumped off a cliff of several hundred meters without protection, which not only made him successful in Hollywood, but also allowed Hollywood's big-name directors to see the unlimited potential of Chinese actors.
Because of this shot, almost all insurance companies in China have blacklisted Jackie Chan. "Mr. Jackie Chan's brave and fearless shooting experience has undoubtedly won the deep respect of the audience.
Even now in his old age, when netizens talk about these past events, they will still be moved by Mr. Jackie Chan's superb acting skills and tenacious and unyielding spirit, and gradually grow into an indisputable kung fu superstar, which is undoubtedly the highest honor he has won in his life's struggle.
Jackie Chan's glorious journey to becoming an international superstar
Although Mr. Jackie Chan has always faced huge risks to his life in the process of filming the movie, his hard work and perseverance have finally been duly rewarded.
In 1998, he successfully set foot in Hollywood and ushered in a new peak in his career.
In addition to his continued dedication to filmmaking, Mr. Chan has also become more and more involved in other fields. His image was adapted into the Chinese cultural animation "The Adventures of Jackie Chan", and his wonderful voice acting can also be heard in subsequent Hollywood animated blockbusters such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
In 2001, "Rush Hour" starring him won the box office championship in the North American market, which can be called a model of successful Hollywood A-list stardom.
As an Asian face, it is no easy task to make a name for himself on the global Hollywood stage, however, Jackie Chan has managed to do so with his own hard work and talent. His extraordinary performance can be described as amazing! Let us recall that in the movie "Who Am I", Jackie Chan once completed that classic scene on a skyscraper in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
This building was originally owned by the mayor of Rotterdam, who is also a die-hard fan of Jackie Chan, and personally lent it to the crew. Not only that, but the mayor also deliberately ordered the road to be blocked to allow pedestrians to pass, and even mobilized elite forces such as special forces, air force, and navy to participate as extras.
There is no doubt that the mayor is a big fan of Jackie Chan. "Jackie Chan stumbled upon the building during his visit to Rotterdam, and after learning that the idol intended to shoot here, the mayor did not hesitate to lend the entire building to the crew.
What's even more striking is that during Jackie Chan's filming in the Netherlands, the mayor not only blocked bridges and roads to provide convenience for pedestrians, but also dispatched a large number of special forces, air force and navy as extras.
It can be seen that Jackie Chan's status in the local entertainment industry is so lofty. The same happened in London, England, where the local mayor took the initiative to lend a hand and recruited numerous extras for the crew.
Even the Queen of England generously lent her luxury yacht to Jackie Chan, and in the Middle East, Jackie Chan has also received special care from the local wealthy.
During the filming of the film "Zodiac" in France, the local museum and castle made an exception and lent precious artifacts to the crew. These are undoubtedly the "privileges" enjoyed by Jackie Chan, which are unimaginable for ordinary actors.
The reason why Jackie Chan's career has been able to reach such a brilliant height is that in addition to his excellent acting skills, it is inseparable from his personal charm and influence. He successfully promoted Chinese kung fu to the world, and at the same time set up a glorious banner for the domestic film industry, making the influence of Chinese films growing day by day.
Such an achievement has undoubtedly made Jackie Chan a veritable international superstar.
Worries about the future
Although Jackie Chan is now in his old age, he still sticks to the studio, sweating, and showing wonderful martial arts moves. In 2012, he still starred in the last film in his life at the cost of his life - "Zodiac".
The director has publicly stated that if an ordinary actor replaces Jackie Chan in this film, it may not be successfully completed. However, for Jackie Chan, who is in his late teens, those challenging and dangerous action scenes are still a unique artistic expression in his field of expertise.
The film was filmed on location in picturesque France. In this creation, for the first time, the French side allowed the crew to rent a museum and a castle for plot construction, and generously provided the team with precious cultural relics for decoration.
This once again demonstrates Jackie Chan's far-reaching influence on a global scale.
However, when the majority of netizens witnessed Jackie Chan's recent photos, they couldn't help but sigh "unbelievable", and at the same time, they had to admit that this former tough guy is now in his old age.
The passionate years when he went forward bravely and worked hard to shoot action scenes are now difficult to continue.
Jackie Chan himself also admitted in an interview with the media that he never relied on stand-ins during his performances, and this kind of professionalism is certainly admirable, but now it has caused people deep concern.
After all, he is not what he used to be. Some people are full of emotion, "After years of hard work, Jackie Chan has finally come to the end of his life." ”
"In the past, he risked his life to deliver realistic action scenes, but his physical condition no longer allows him to take such risks. This worry not only involves Jackie Chan personally, but also concerns the future development trend of Chinese martial arts films.
After all, this generation of kung fu superstars is already in old age, but they still stick to their posts and work hard. When will the new generation of actors take over the responsibilities of their predecessors, and what will the future of Chinese martial arts films look like? These worrying questions all make people deeply regret Jackie Chan's aging.
"It takes 50 years for China to give birth to an international superstar like Jackie Chan. Some people sighed, "Looking at the older generation of actors in the film industry who are passing away, but they are still struggling on the front line, my heart is really full of worries, where should the future of Chinese martial arts films go?"
This kind of worry and uneasiness is the real emotional experience of the majority of audiences when they see Jackie Chan's recent photos.
The reason why Jackie Chan can grow into a world-renowned international superstar today is that the hard work and sweat behind it is unimaginable. In that turbulent 70s, he was only 21 years old at the time, and he was still just a nobody, and he could only play some inconspicuous small roles on the movie screen.
However, with the passage of time, today's filmmaking technology is no longer the same, and in the past, in order to pursue the realistic effect of the film, Jackie Chan and his brother Sammo Hung staged a "real knife and real gun" fight scene during the filming of "Shaolin Gate", but he almost lost his life.
"At that time, filmmaking technology was far less developed than it is today, and in order to pursue realism, the actors almost always went into battle with 'real knives and guns' when filming and fighting. Jackie Chan was even beaten unconscious during filming, and his life was in danger.
Jackie Chan recalled fondly in an interview.
Despite such a serious injury, Jackie Chan did not give up on his ideals because of this. With perseverance, he persevered and worked hard for a full decade. Finally, in the 1985 work "Police Story", he jumped from an obscure small role to a leading role.
However, Jackie Chan was not satisfied with this, but challenged the 24-meter-high live chandelier in the film, and jumped without hesitation This thrilling action scene not only made him famous in the film industry, but also attracted the attention of Hollywood.
It is precisely because of this lens that almost all insurance companies in China have blacklisted Jackie Chan. However, Jackie Chan still managed to complete this dangerous shot, which fully demonstrated his fighting spirit.
In 1994, the 44-year-old Jackie Chan once again challenged the limits of life in the movie "Red Fan Zone", he jumped from a cliff of several hundred meters, which not only made him successfully enter Hollywood, but also made Hollywood's big-name directors see the unlimited potential of Chinese actors.
Jackie Chan's almost crazy shooting experience has undoubtedly won the deep respect of the audience. Even though he has entered his old age, netizens will still be moved when they mention these past events.
With his superb acting skills and tenacious will, he has grown into a well-deserved kung fu superstar, which is undoubtedly the highest honor he has struggled for in his life"After 56 years in the industry, he has shot more than 200 films, and almost all the bones on his body are broken, and he finally won this award" Jackie Chan was full of emotion when he won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.
It is precisely with that ruthlessness that Jackie Chan has gradually transformed from an unknown martial artist to a dazzling film giant, and has undoubtedly established his lofty position in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean.
His magnificence and brilliance not only demonstrate his superb performance skills, but also reflect his perseverance and perseverance. Such a brilliant achievement is sure to arouse a sense of pride in everyone's heart.
Looking at Jackie Chan's recent photos, we can immediately perceive that this martial arts master has long been deeply imprinted in the minds of countless people. From the young martial artist who first got involved in the entertainment industry in the 70s of the last century to the elder who has now entered the old age, Jackie Chan's huge transformation is jaw-dropping.
In the process of filming, he often did not hesitate to risk his life, and suffered serious injuries in pursuit of realistic effects, and even hung by a thread several times. However, it was with this ruthlessness that he gradually rose from an inconspicuous small role to a first-class superstar in the film industry, and finally established himself in Hollywood.
Jackie Chan's legendary story not only showcases his extraordinary acting skills, but also vividly illustrates his perseverance and spiritual strength.
It's not easy for an Asian face to make a name for himself in Hollywood, but Jackie Chan managed to achieve this feat. He not only showed the unique charm of Chinese martial arts on the screen, but also won worldwide acclaim for the Chinese film industry.
Whether it is a local political leader or a business tycoon, whenever Jackie Chan's name is mentioned, they will not hesitate to provide full support and assistance. This esteemed treatment is a testament to his far-reaching impact on a global scale.
Although Jackie Chan has entered the twilight of his life, he still adheres to his love of martial arts. In 2012, he was still engaged in the filming of the last film "Zodiac", which fought for his life.
The director once said frankly that if he were replaced by other ordinary actors, he might not be able to handle such a difficult shooting task. This undoubtedly highlights Jackie Chan's extraordinaryness once again.
"It takes 50 years for China to give birth to an international superstar like Jackie Chan. Someone sighed, "Looking at the veterans of the film industry who are still busy on the stage, I can't help but feel a trace of worry in my heart, where should the future of Chinese martial arts films go?"
As we look forward to the new generation of actors following in the footsteps of their predecessors, many anxious questions arise in our minds. In the face of the fact that Jackie Chan is getting old, this is undoubtedly a deep regret.
