"Jackie Chan International Action Film Week" has been successfully held for six sessions since 2015. The main theme is to screen domestic and foreign action films, and to recognize filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to action films.
The 6th Jackie Chan International Action Film Week has come to an end, and the celebrities attending the closing ceremony have gathered and are very lively, which has aroused extensive discussion.
Some young netizens asked why this film festival can be named after a person, and is Jackie Chan's influence really so great?
Yes, he established himself in Hollywood early on, and is still a "superhero" from China in the eyes of many foreigners.
In fact, Jackie Chan already had a certain degree of international popularity in the early 90s, but at that time, the "olive branch" thrown by Hollywood invited him to play villains and small supporting roles, and their stereotypes of Chinese were still very serious, based on this, Jackie Chan was unwilling to accept.
Until 1995, "Red Fan District" was released in the United States, and the box office performance of more than 30 million US dollars achieved a miracle, and more people knew Jackie Chan. Since then, Jackie Chan's fame has been unstoppable, using thrilling action movies as the medium and quickly spreading around the world.
If Bruce Lee let the world know about Chinese kung fu, then Jackie Chan is a filmmaker who popularized Chinese kung fu more comprehensively.
What is his influence in foreign countries?
In 1998, Jackie Chan was invited by the mayor of Rotterdam to visit the city, he saw a building with a very chic shape, and said casually: If you lend me this building to shoot a play, I will move the "Who Am I" crew to you... How exciting it would be to slide down this building!
As a result, the mayor of Rotterdam took it seriously, and called Jackie Chan a week later, saying that this side was ready and could come over to shoot at any time!
So in "Who Am I", there was that wonderful jumping scene.
At the end of the movie, we saw a large number of helicopter armored vehicles and so on, which was not a prop for the crew, but the local government used the navy, army and air force to assist Jackie Chan in filming...
The Sydney Opera House, as we all know, has a very high status in the minds of the Australian people.
Tom Cruise once wanted to borrow this place to shoot a scene, but he failed, but when Jackie Chan went to film, he felt that chasing around the opera house was not interesting, and if he wanted to fight, he hit the "top of the head" of the opera house.
The crew felt that there was no hope, but still used the name of Jackie Chan to communicate with the opera house, who knew that the other party heard that it was Jackie Chan, they happily agreed, saying that they believed in Jackie Chan, you guys shoot it!
This play is "Blood of the Machine".
Jackie Chan's action movie "Vanguard", in the process of filming in Dubai, the luxurious gold of the screen is simply blinding, and some people think it is a prop... Not really.
The sum of the seven golden-shelled cars adds up to an average of $120 million per car. It was all lent by Dubai to Jackie Chan to shoot.
The big lion that appears in the play is the beloved pet of the Royal Princess of Dubai (in some places, it is based on special effects).
The amphibious vehicle they were driving, which was lent to him by the royal prince, accidentally crashed during filming, and the prince said that he did not care at all.
The mayor of London also took the citizens to do extras in this film, helping Jackie Chan set the scene.
War correspondents in the Middle East bluntly said: There are photos of Jackie Chan in the mobile phone, which may work better than chili water and a knife!
It can be seen how influential he is in the world.
When Zhang Aijia went to congo to participate in the event, she was surrounded by local people, the car was shaken loudly, and in a hurry, she shouted, Jackie chan! You know? My friend！
The crowd soon became quiet, and Zhang Aijia was able to escape. This incident was personally told by Zhang Aijia when she went to a school to do activities, and she said that in the Middle East, the name of Jackie Chan is particularly useful.
In the eyes of many foreigners, Jackie Chan is a business card of China and is also equivalent to the existence of "superheroes". But their superheroes don't have real people, and China's superheroes are Jackie Chan.
Based on this, Hollywood also specially produced the animation "The Adventures of Jackie Chan" based on Jackie Chan, which was broadcast and ranked first in the US television ratings for four consecutive weeks.
It is estimated that many small partners think that this animation is made in China, right?
Perhaps some people do not know that in the United States, there are many "anniversaries" named after Jackie Chan, that is, "Jackie Chan Day".
San Francisco announced in 1986 that September 6 was Jackie Chan Day, January 2, 1987 was "Jackie Chan Day" in California, March 9, 1991 was "Jackie Chan Day" in Chicago, and October 4 was "Jackie Chan Day" in Hollywood in 2002...
In Germany, there is a commercial street named "Jackie Chan Street".
It is said that in Germany a street is named after a person, and this is only possible for celebrities a hundred years after the death of the country.
In 2008, an authoritative organization in the United States conducted a survey on the theme: China in the eyes of Americans
The Great Wall is the most representative of the symbols, and the character category is the most popular with Jackie Chan. Achieved a 43% vote.
"Captain America" Chris Evans said, I don't know much about any superheroes in China... I think Jackie Chan should be a superhero, and he will definitely give Captain America a little bitter food.
Compared with the fictional characters in the comics, Jackie Chan's real ability in the movie is more admired by foreigners.
Now that he has reached the age of not being able to move, the accumulation of old injuries on his body is more likely to make him injured in the fight, so in 2014, Jackie Chan proposed to hold an event dedicated to motivating action filmmakers, that is, "Jackie Chan International Action Film Week".
Jackie Chan has been paying attention to cultivating and tapping the new strength of Chinese action for many years, and Zhang Lanxin, the host of the sixth film week, is one of the outstanding representatives.
Those young people who question why Film Week can be named after Jackie Chan, see here, should also understand how his influence in the world is.
