Preface
A singer who debuted in a Korean group was handpicked by Jackie Chan as his successor!
Once upon a time, the all-powerful Uncle Long also reached the age of surrendering to the years, imagine that after Jackie Chan "retired", who else could hold up the sky of action movies?
However, no one thought that Nicholas Tse, who was originally entrusted with a heavy responsibility, turned out to be "Adou who couldn't be helped", but with the double blessing of his father Xie Xian and "big brother" Jackie Chan, he slapped everyone in the face.
This also made the "disappointed" Jackie Chan have to prepare for his successor again, so who made Jackie Chan have a super high opinion of him just because he worked with Jackie Chan in a movie.
even left a sentence: Twenty years later, you will take over my class.
Uncle Long has changed amazingly
"Veterans don't die, they just fade away."
As an international kung fu superstar, Jackie Chan's achievements are no longer simply excellent two words can be described, as a well-known star in China and even the world, Jackie Chan's status in the Chinese film and television industry can be said to be unique.
This also leads to the fact that even if Jackie Chan may have to "wash his hands of gold" one day because of his age, the audience and fans will never agree because of reluctance.
After all, Jackie Chan is currently the only one in the film industry, especially after Bruce Lee's untimely death and Sammo Hung has long since faded out of the film industry, the only one who looks at Jackie Chan in the martial arts world is Jackie Chan.
But can man really conquer time?
As early as a few months ago, a set of photos about Jackie Chan's recent state circulated on the Internet, but when many netizens watched it, they were unwilling to believe their eyes.
Because they could never have imagined that the "action hero" who was once omnipotent and dedicated to art in their hearts turned into a gray-haired old man.
I saw that in the photo, Jackie Chan was full of white hair, loose skin, dull eyes, no energy on his face, and his movements were very slow, which made it hard to believe that the years were so "favored" to him.
Recalling Jackie Chan's previous image on TV, it was like a heaven and an earth, but in fact, as a 70-year-old man, it is normal for Jackie Chan to have such changes.
It's just that people are sad not only because Jackie Chan is getting old, but after Jackie Chan is old, who will become the next "Jackie Chan" to surprise and create for the audience?
"I" will not be Jackie Chan's successor
As early as many years ago, the voice about Nicholas Tse's successor to Jackie Chan has been high, but many people's attention to Nicholas Tse often stays in his life gossip.
has led to constant doubts about whether he can carry this banner, in fact, although Nicholas Tse is indeed not a "fuel-efficient lamp" emotionally, he has not slacked off in his career at all.
As an actor and musician, Nicholas Tse is also conscientious and hands-on in his work, especially when shooting extremely dangerous action movies, he is not ambiguous at all.
I can't straighten my fingers because of filming
When other celebrities are using stand-ins in the face of dangerous actions, Nicholas Tse chooses to challenge himself to dare to play with his life, in his opinion, only hard work can be exchanged for respect.
Not only did he say this, but he also did it, in his latest movie "Customs Front", Nicholas Tse once fell from a height of dozens of meters, and shot more than 60 moves in one shot to the end.
Nicholas Tse's spirit made Jackie Chan at the premiere of the film full of praise, and Jackie Chan said to all the media: "I finally have a successor."
In just a few words, it expresses Jackie Chan's infinite recognition of Nicholas Tse, but in the face of this statement from his predecessors, I don't know if Nicholas Tse is modest or afraid to bear this pressure.
In the interview, he said that he had no possibility, because Nicholas Tse believes that the older generation of action stars not only have a solid foundation in martial arts, but also can calm down and do everything well, which is what young people lack now.
But I never thought about it, I don't know if Brother Long heard his response, and he was "disappointed" to designate his new successor in his new drama "Legend".
Twenty years later, you took over my class
After "Myth", Jackie Chan has another blockbuster drama, and "Legend", which is the drama of this summer's summer, has undoubtedly received the expectations of countless fans, not only because of Jackie Chan's star effect.
As the leading actor, Zhang Yixing played two roles in the play, ancient and modern, of which he played a marksman in the ancient part.
In order to make himself play this role well, Zhang Yixing basically keeps the bow and arrow in his hand in the play, and he often practices the basic movements of the bow and arrow repeatedly in his spare time, and when he encounters a problem, Zhang Yixing will ask Jackie Chan for advice.
In addition, he never flinched in the face of very difficult martial arts movements, even if he was injured, whether he rolled down the mountain or jumped off the horse, Zhang Yixing insisted on not using a stand-in.
With this kind of hard work, Jackie Chan was also deeply moved, in addition to guiding Zhang Yixing's actions, he would also escort Zhang Yixing when he was filming and playing.
In Jackie Chan's view, Zhang Yixing is really hardworking, and he is qualified to be a martial arts star in the future, no wonder Jackie Chan said to Zhang Yixing: "I have 20 years to retire, and you will take over my class in the future."
Although there are a lot of jokes in this sentence, it can still be seen that Jackie Chan's affirmation and expectations for Zhang Yixing are very big.
epilogue
Maybe this sentence is cruel to Nicholas Tse, but this is not only a pressure but also a motivation, which can better spur him to do a good job in the film career and make more excellent works with Jackie Chan as an example.
This is also a great encouragement for Zhang Yixing, after all, not everyone is qualified for such an evaluation, in fact, there are many excellent martial arts stars in China, such as Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo and so on.
We don't want one person in the Chinese film industry to be the only one in the future, but we hope that they will bloom!
