April 7, 2024 is Jackie Chan’s 70th birthday. Many stars have posted messages on social platforms to celebrate his birthday, which is very spectacular. For example, Jackie Chan's predecessor Alan Tam, Alan Tam is 4 years older than Jackie Chan. Another example is Jackie Chan's "direct juniors" Wu Jing and Wu Yue. A large part of the reason why they can become action actors is Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan Action Movie Week has been held for 6 times, and Wu Jing has participated every time. Wu Jing also made a guest appearance in the movie "The Spirit of Dragon Horse" starring Jackie Chan.
Next are the actors who have collaborated with Jackie Chan in movies: Wang Leehom in "Little Soldier"; Huang Zitao in "Railway Tigers"; Liu Haocun in "The Spirit of Dragon and Horse"; Li Bingbing in "Revolution of 1911"; Yang Yang and Xu Ruohan in "Vanguard" ; Zhang Yixing, Guli Naza, Zheng Yecheng and Li Chen of "Legend". Among them, Zhang Yixing and Li Zhiting also collaborated with Jackie Chan in "Kung Fu Yoga". Jackie Chan rarely doubles with actors, which shows that he likes Zhang Yixing and Li Zhiting very much.
Sina Entertainment specially launched a special topic "Jackie Chan·Impression of the Times" for Jackie Chan. Four actors were invited to talk about Jackie Chan's influence on themselves. They are Yang Yang, Zhang Yixing, Xu Ruohan and Li Zhiting. Yang Yang said that Jackie Chan is omnipotent and meticulous, and admires his eldest brother's dedication to performance and his spirit of excellence. Zhang Yixing revealed that his eldest brother is very willing to help and support the younger generations. Jackie Chan also taught Zhang Yixing how to combine martial arts with hip-hop. Xu Ruohan revealed Jackie Chan's private hobbies. It turns out that tough guys also like to drink Yangzhi nectar and watch short videos; Li Zhiting said that Jackie Chan would teach him how to tolerate the camera on the set.
Jackie Chan has appeared in nearly 200 movies and collaborated with many actors. It is not required that every actor should publicly post a message to celebrate Jackie Chan's birthday, but actors who have recently collaborated with him, such as Allen and Guo Qilin, should not remain silent. In "Vanguard" released in 2020, Jackie Chan is the leading male lead, and Yang Yang and Allen are tied for the second leading male lead. Allen plays a very important role and has almost all the laughs in the movie. Jackie Chan thinks highly of him.
In "The Spirit of Dragon and Horse" to be released in 2023, Jackie Chan is the male lead and Guo Qilin is the second male lead. Jackie Chan is also very optimistic about Guo Qilin because he also has a close friendship with Guo Degang. Perhaps it's because behind Allen is Shen Teng and behind Guo Qilin is Guo Degang, so they don't have to look at Jackie Chan's face and will not cooperate again in the future. The box office and reputation of "Vanguard" and "The Spirit of Dragon Horse" are average. Of course, there is another possibility: they wished Jackie Chan through WeChat and did not post on Weibo.
As a legend in the Chinese film industry, Jackie Chan has made many notable achievements in his acting career and has had a profound impact on the film industry. Jackie Chan's film works are not only loved by the audience, but also recognized by many awards. Jackie Chan's films have wide influence not only in mainland China, but also around the world. These celebrities celebrated Jackie Chan's birthday on social platforms, which not only reflected his huge contribution to the film industry, but also demonstrated his extensive connections and influence inside and outside the industry.
Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out: Most of these stars are the younger generation who are supported by Jackie Chan, because almost all of Jackie Chan's peers have quit the entertainment industry. Although Jackie Chan is 70 years old, he is still full of energy and continues to shine in the film industry. "Legend" has been filmed and is expected to be released this year. Jackie Chan is currently filming "Strange Family" and will also film "New Police Story 2" in the future.
