As the most influential actor in the Chinese film industry, Jackie Chan 's status is unquestionable. If Bruce Lee made the world aware of Chinese Kung Fu, then Jackie Chan made Chinese Kung Fu movies popular all over the world.
Jackie Chan, who was very successful in the Hong Kong film industry, entered Hollywood in 1995 with the action film "红区", which broke the box office record of North American foreign language films.
established his position in Hollywood with the action film "Rush Hour" in 1998. In 2001, "Rush Hour" set a box office record for a Hollywood movie starring a Chinese actor.
It can be said that among the many Chinese actors who have entered Hollywood, Jackie Chan is undoubtedly the most successful. His acting style is very popular among foreign audiences. He perfectly combines Chinese Kung Fu with movie scenes, making the original action scenes more lively and interesting. .
In view of Jackie Chan's outstanding contribution to action movies, in 2016, Jackie Chan won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 89th Academy Awards. Today, Jackie Chan is like a label for Chinese movies. When foreign audiences mention Chinese movies, the first thing they think of is Jackie Chan.
However, as he grows older, Jackie Chan has fewer and fewer action movies. In recent years, there have been many works, but few have really good reputations. Many people have begun to lament that Jackie Chan is old.
Some time ago, a set of live photos of Jackie Chan participating in an event went viral on the Internet. In the video, Jackie Chan's hair and beard were all white, and he looked very old.
Although I later learned that Jackie Chan deliberately kept this look for his new work, the 70-year-old Jackie Chan is indeed old. Even so, Jackie Chan is still active in the film industry and constantly brings new works to the audience.
Recently, news came out that the new version of "The Dragon King" has started filming, and Jackie Chan will also participate in it. This is Jackie Chan's return to Hollywood after many years, so this matter has attracted great attention on the Internet.
The movie "The Kid" is an old movie released in 1984. It tells the story of an American teenager learning karate from a Japanese master in California and understanding its philosophy. It stars Ralph Macchio.
In 2010, "The Dragon King" was adapted into " Kung Fu Dream ", starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. After the film was released, it achieved good box office and reputation.
After 14 years, "The Kid" has been remade again. It is reported that the new version of "The Kid" has been fully upgraded, with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio returning to star, Wang Ban as the protagonist, Ming-Na Wen, Sadie Stanley, etc. Many movie stars have joined the cast, and the cast is still very strong.
What’s more important is that Macchio was the protagonist of the 1984 version, and Jackie Chan starred in the 2010 version. Now newcomer Wang Ban is starring in the new version of "The Dragon King". It happens that the three generations are in the same frame, and they will definitely create different sparks. The story of
's new version of "The Dragon King" comes to the east coast of the United States, focusing on a teenager from China who finds strength and direction under the tutelage of a tough but wise elder.
The filming of the new version of "The Dragon King" has officially started, and the film will be released in North America on December 13. However, some viewers have raised their own questions and concerns.
The new version of "The Dragon King" has gained such high attention because of the participation of Jackie Chan. However, the production cycle of just a few months will inevitably make people worry about the prospects of this movie.
In addition, Jackie Chan is currently filming his new movie "Stranger Family" in China. It is not difficult to predict that Jackie Chan's role in "The Dragon King" will not be too high. In addition, the plot is old-fashioned, and the new version of "The Dragon King" will not be too high. "Boy" I guess it's just that the thunder is louder than the raindrops, so it's reasonable not to be favored!
