Jackie Chan, whose original name is Chen Hongsheng, was born in Hong Kong. He is a national first-class actor, singer, screenwriter, director, and producer. He has appeared in too many classic movies and is a well-known Chinese film and television actor.
In 2016, Jackie Chan won the Oscar "Lifetime Achievement Award" and has a high reputation and influence both at home and abroad.
Time flies, Jackie Chan, who was once all-powerful in the film and television industry, has also entered the 70-year-old mark. There is an old saying that "seventy years in life are rare", but Jackie Chan was still making movies on his 70th birthday.
Jackie Chan, who has entered his seventies, still has many movies to make, which have been accumulated over the years. Jackie Chan himself also admitted that he now has to "repay a lot of debts."
But making movies is still making movies, but the reputation of the movie is still very important, but Jackie Chan caused controversy in his latest movie.
Jackie Chan continues to be the male protagonist in the movie "Legend". Since the film involves backgrounds of different generations, AI technology is used to help Jackie Chan become younger, so that the audience can see his youthful appearance.
In addition to using AI to change his appearance, it turns out that even the action scenes were performed by another actor Zheng Yecheng. Although there is a suspicion of "selling dog meat to others", Jackie Chan's biggest function is to help promote the movie.
However, when Jackie Chan went to the theater to promote recently, he mistakenly changed the title of the film from "Legend" to "Myth", an old work many years ago. After Jackie Chan finished speaking, the audience was silent. Later, a staff member reminded him of the real title of the film. But Jackie Chan quickly explained, insisting that he just said the wrong movie title because he hadn't spoken Cantonese for a long time. It's obvious how invested Jackie Chan is in the movie.
Netizens said, "It's really rare to hear him speak Cantonese." "Jackie Chan himself is Cantonese, so of course he can speak Cantonese." In fact, this was Jackie Chan trying to lighten the mood and finding a reason to use as excuse. In fact, it was just that the title of the movie was wrong.
In fact, this movie is indeed related to "Myth" released in 2005. "Legend" continues the story elements of "Myth", including the character setting of the general and princess, the plot arrangement of the past life and this life, and uses archaeology to run through it. In terms of plot, the two movies are sisters.
But the "Myth" back then was well-intentioned. Not only did it invest 160 million, but it also brought together Korean actress Kim Hee Sun, Indian queen Mallika, and "A Thousand Faces of Movie King" Tony Leung Ka Fai. Even the theme song "Beautiful Myth" became a rage.
Today's "Legend" also continues the financial wealth of "Myth", investing 360 million and using more than 10,000 real horses in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang. The 70-year-old Jackie Chan also brought Zhang Yixing, Nazha, Li Zhiting, and Li Chen , Dou Xiao and other well-known young artists star.
A similar plot reappeared, and the song "Beautiful Myth" came to mind again, but AI Jackie Chan still caused controversy.
Due to the needs of the plot, Jackie Chan's character was arranged to have an "AI face-changing". Through AI, Jackie Chan's face turned into a young appearance when he was 27 years old.
In "Myth", the character played by Jackie Chan and the character played by Kim Hee Sun The characters fall in love.
In "Legend", 70-year-old Jackie Chan uses AI to continue to fall in love with the character played by 32-year-old Nazha.
This is not the key. The key is that AI Jackie Chan occupies 90% of Jackie Chan's scenes in the entire movie, and the effect is even more terrible. In 90% of the scenes, 80% of the AI shots are in a state of acting, sometimes gritting their teeth, Sometimes he seems to be smiling but not smiling.
In a still state, his eyes stare blankly at people, which is unbearable to look at compared to the young Jackie Chan.
I still remember that in the documentary "Jackie Chan's Stunts", Jackie Chan had to rack his brains to design techniques for every action, and even had to repeatedly deduce the effect, and try to show the right expression as much as possible during the fierce fight.
It has been rumored that Jackie Chan is an actor who never uses a stunt double. He does all the fighting scenes himself and even performs dangerous action scenes himself. This attitude also allowed him to contribute many classic clips that are talked about by everyone.
Jackie Chan later clarified in the documentary that he did not use a substitute, but only in high-risk actions.
In recent years, Jackie Chan has released several movies that seem to have failed to stir up much excitement. Many people think that Jackie Chan's era has long passed, and can even be described as "outdated".
At the Oscars that year, when selecting the Lifetime Achievement Award, all 50 people in the audience voted unanimously, making it the first time in the history of Hollywood that this award was unanimously approved.
When accepting the award, Jackie Chan wore a Mao suit to receive the award. He stood out among the male stars in suits and ties. Jackie Chan said that he was accepting the award on behalf of the Chinese, and the Chinese have their own clothing.
As an actor, Jackie Chan is more like a symbol of Chinese culture and a synonym for Chinese Kung Fu. He has demonstrated the confidence and bravery of the Chinese people internationally, his dedicated attitude and his classic actions of challenging dangerous scenes when making movies. He gets a lot of attention.
has been in the industry for more than half a century. Jackie Chan has won the recognition of many people with his crisp and neat fighting scenes. The 70-year-old Jackie Chan is still active in the entertainment industry, even on his 70th birthday. He is quite "honest and honest". It’s okay” attitude.
But now he is no longer the strong and energetic image in the movies (except ai Jackie Chan), but Jackie Chan plans to make movies until he is 80 years old.
Some people think that Jackie Chan has made a lot of "bad movies" in recent years and is making dirty money. However, after risking his life to make movies for many years, he has already achieved financial freedom and donated many collections and ancient buildings to the country. Jackie Chan admitted that he hopes his bank balance will be reduced to zero when he dies.
Talking about the reasons why he doesn’t want to stop acting, Jackie Chan said that he doesn’t want to let down the audience and he enjoys filming.
Compared with today's traffic niches who make a lot of money by relying on special effects and stand-ins, filmmakers in those days cherished feathers more, challenged the limits, and did not hesitate to risk their lives for a wonderful shot.
However, Jackie Chan’s movie this time brought people full of disappointment.From AI Jackie Chan being the protagonist to saying the wrong movie title when promoting the movie, it is obvious that Jackie Chan did not put enough effort into this work this time. Isn't this not letting the audience down?
