Backstage of the closing ceremony of Jackie Chan International Film Week, Jackie Chan said in an interview with reporters:
Of course, this is only Jackie Chan's modest words, counting Jackie Chan's achievements in the film industry, the weight of the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award is enough to show the depth of his influence!
This influence is not only in the mainland or Hong Kong and Taiwan, but in the whole world, is a real martial arts actor who has gone abroad, and is also the most internationally known and recognized movie star besides Bruce Lee!
Jackie Chan was even listed as one of the "Four Great Customs of China" at the time (Jin Yong Wuxia, Qiong Yao Romance, The Four Heavenly Kings, Jackie Chan Movies)
In 1995, the annual box office of the mainland was 950 million yuan, and Jackie Chan's "Red Fan District" box office was 95 million yuan; in 2019, the annual box office of the mainland was 64.3 billion, and Wu Jing's "The Wandering Earth" was 4.655 billion
"Hongfan District" won 57 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong and NT$121 million in Greater Taipei, and today there is still no second Chinese film that can do it!
At the same time, "Red Fan District" is also the first Hong Kong film to break the box office record of non-Hollywood films in North America, with a box office of 9.86 million US dollars in the first week of North America, a total of 32.39 million US dollars, and a total income of 125 million US dollars in the United States!
In addition, "Red Fan District" is also the first Chinese New Year movie in China, which is the pioneering work of domestic Chinese New Year films
Such an achievement, under the influence of the underdevelopment of the domestic film industry at the end of the last century and the influence of inflation, is completely a milestone for Chinese films
Wu Jing's films mainly rely on the mainland market, which has risen in recent years, and the annual box office has exploded to more than 60 billion
Under such a total box office, it is much easier to achieve four plays with a box office of 20 billion than in Jackie Chan's era!
All in all, Jackie Chan and Wu Kyoto are excellent, both cutting-edge figures in the film industry of two different eras!
Different times, different ways of measuring!
