Jackie Chan
The Hong Kong director Lo Wei, who promoted Jackie Chan, gave him the stage name "Jackie Chan" in the hope that he would one day be able to fly the dragon in the sky, but also hoped that he would become a superstar as successful as Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan lived up to his name, first dominating the Asian market in the 80s, and then entering Hollywood in the late 90s, becoming a unique action-comedy superstar with amazing box office success.
Jackie Chan, originally named Chan Kong Sang, was born in Hong Kong in 1954.
In 1961, Jackie Chan entered the Drama Academy and studied with the famous Peking Opera master, Master Yu Jim-yuen. As the years changed and Peking Opera slowly declined, Jackie and his brothers and sisters began working as martial artists for the movies. the early 70's was the era of Bruce Lee, and Jackie was involved in stunt work in both "Jing Wu Men" and "Dragon Warrior". After Bruce Lee's death, Jackie Chan appeared in New Essence of Wushu as Golden Harvest's chosen successor to Bruce Lee. Golden Harvest hoped that Jackie would become another Bruce Lee, a kung fu star recognized by Americans and Asians alike. But Jackie Chan is not Bruce Lee, after all, and the Bruce Lee movie formula doesn't fit him at all. Jackie Chan decided to depart from Bruce Lee's "Chinese Superman" style, and never wanted to be a second Bruce Lee, only the first Jackie Chan. He said, "I don't want to be so serious, I want to be a little more lively, a little more fun, a little more hilarious, I must be different from Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee loved to shout 'Ha' when fighting, so I'll shout 'Heh'!" Drunken Fist, the kung fu comedy model was formed, and has since become a trend in Hong Kong films, popular for many years.
Jackie Chan is a marvel of Hong Kong cinema, who started the trend of modern kung fu movies and managed to break into the American market. Peak Hour was Jackie's first film to star in Hollywood, and the studio tailored the script to Jackie's needs, packed the film with action sequences that showed off his extraordinary kung fu skills, and designed a plot and dialogue that reflected his genius for humor. 2001's sequel was a huge hit, and made Americans embrace the Chinese dragon. The box office receipts generated by the two "Peaky Blinders" films and the word-of-mouth the films have received from American audiences are proof enough of this.
Although his Tuxedo was criticized heavily, and although some people said that he didn't go to conquer Hollywood but was conquered by Hollywood, in any case, he was recognized by Hollywood with his humorous body language and close-to-life kung fu.
Jackie Chan is a myth. As a star or an action star, Jackie Chan seems to have nothing remarkable in his appearance. Although he had a decade-long hard theater learning experience, he still didn't have the hard kung fu of Bruce Lee and Jet Li, but Jackie Chan became a dragon nonetheless. In the world, whenever foreigners talk about Chinese culture, they will definitely talk about Bruce Lee, Jin Yong and Jackie Chan. Because they are the face of China. He puts humor into martial arts, using body language humor to create a first-class and unclonable Jackie Chan-style kung fu comedy.
Jackie Chan is fanatical about kung fu movies, and he seems to never tire, with an ever-present energy. He said, "I never insisted on not using a body double. Now I've had injuries all over my body: my eyes have been bruised, my nose, chin and cheeks have been broken, my upper lip has been cracked, my hands have been burned, my neck has been sprained, my ligaments have been torn, my ribs and shoulders have been broken, my pelvic bone and sternum have been dislocated, my hips have been shattered, and even my spine has been injured." In addition to Jackie Chan, it seems that you can no longer find a person who can let his body suffer such a degree of destruction for the movie.
It is because of Jackie Chan's popularity at home and abroad, it is because of his never-ending exuberance, it is because he relies on the spirit of defiance to create the miracle of the movie, it is because of his affinity, Jackie Chan has become the first ambassador of the Beijing Olympic bid.

Biography:
Born in 1954, Jackie Chan's parents met when they fled to Hong Kong from Shandong. Due to the economic downturn in Hong Kong at the time, his parents could not afford to pay the huge delivery fee at the time of his birth. The doctor who attended his mother's birth offered to adopt him. But since he was born in the year of the horse, his parents thought it was an auspicious year and since they had no other children, they turned down the doctor's offer and struggled to raise the money for his medical bills to bring him home. Since Jackie was born in Hong Kong, his parents named him Chan Kong Sang in honor of their safe flight and the fact that their son was born in Hong Kong. They lived in the home of the French Ambassador, where his father was the cook and his mother was the housekeeper and a Peking Opera enthusiast. Jackie Chan didn't like to study when he was young, he liked to fight with foreign kids. Because he lived in the Peak Consulate District, almost all the people in the neighborhood were French and Americans. ...... This situation lasted until he was in the first grade of elementary school, when he dropped out of school after his first year of elementary school because of the frequent fights and trouble... Besides fighting, Jackie also liked to watch martial arts movies. At that time, martial arts movies were very popular, and Tso Tat-wah and Yu So-chow were the most popular stars at that time. Jackie worshipped them and wanted to learn the art of martial arts. One day, his father took Jackie Chan to the Mirador Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui to visit the Peking Opera master Sheng Jim-yuen, who was the father of Yu Suqiu, the martial arts actress that Jackie Chan admired, and Jackie Chan was envious of the students practicing diligently here. He asked his father to let him train here. So, Jackie Chan became a member of this school, and Master Yu's way of education was basically the old rules of strictness and hard training. The way to control the children's work and practice was to "beat and punish". Within four days, Jackie regretted it. In those first days, Jackie Chan often cried in the dark at night. After sending him to the academy, his father flew to Australia and the U.S. Embassy. He spent the next eleven long years shaking inside. During these ten years, his father came back to Hong Kong to visit Jackie Chan several times. In order to take better care of the child, his father asked Jackie Chan to worship Master Yu Cham-yuen as his godfather, but this didn't work out well, and he disciplined him more harshly than others.
Carlos joined the Chinese Academy of Drama in 1961. His teacher was the famous Peking Opera master, Master Yu Zhenyuan (Yu Suqiu's father). Master Yu gave Jackie Chan the name Yuanlou. The rest of his brothers and sisters were also named after the character Yuan. Daily drills included footwork, fighting styles, and stunts. There are also stretches, chops, and flips. They wake up at 5:00 in the morning and practice until 12:00 at night. In addition to practicing, they also have to do cleaning and dishwashing. Jackie Chan grows up with nearly 19 hours of grueling training every day. In the morning, they practiced all kinds of kung fu, but when they practiced leg press, they could sleep a little, almost all of them slept with their legs crossed, and after eating, they practiced voice training or reading. After dinner, we practiced our voices or read books, and when we read, we napped. After this regular routine, the most exciting time of the month for them was when the Red Cross came to deliver relief supplies, including rice, powdered milk, food, etc. Dozens of children lined up for half a day to wait for their food to be distributed to them. Usually, they ate rice in big pots, and the girls took turns to cook the rice, which was enough, but as for the side dishes, they had to grab them. During Jackie Chan's Seven Little Fortunes period, with his skill, in a Peking Opera performance, Master Yu chose Yuen Lung, Yuen Tai, Yuen Wah, Yuen Mo, Yuen Kui, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan to play the leading roles in the Peking Opera "Seven Little Fortunes". From then on, people called them the Seven Little Fortunes, and Jackie Chan got many opportunities to perform on stage, and they continued to perform at Lai Yuen. They were stationed at the Lai Yuen Playground and performed Peking Opera for a long time. Several of them did everything in a play, like the Monkey King messing up the Pansi Cave, they were the Demoness Spider Woman, the Monkey King's monkey with his hands, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all in all, they were busy dressing up and dressing down behind the scene, and they were busy in front of the scene fighting against the Northern faction. In addition, the set was their frequent access to the place, as a child to play some children's roles, extras and so on. That's why Jackie Chan made his debut so early in his career.
With the change of the times, Peking Opera slowly declined. His master began to loan them out to movies as martial artists. Jackie Chan worked as a martial artist during the day, and went back to his master's home to sleep at night. He turned 17 years old, and the day of Jackie Chan's completion of his apprenticeship was approaching, and on the day of his completion, according to the old custom, the apprentice should kneel and bow to his master in order to thank him for the kindness he had brought him up to be. The master will then give the apprentice ten strokes of the court staff as a final reminder. Jackie Chan knelt down at the foot of Master Jim Yuen and waited for the cane to be given to him with his head hung down. Then the master called out to him, "Get up! No need to kneel. Times have changed, we don't need to do this anymore." Jackie Chan was relieved. After finishing his studies, Jackie worked as a martial arts instructor. During his time as a martial arts instructor, his name was "Chan Yuen Lung", and he specialized in being a body double for famous actors. He specialized in doing dangerous fights for famous actors such as Yuehua, Luo Lie, Tian Feng, Gu Feng, Liu Dan, and so on. During this period of time, Jackie Chan was living a life of pleasure, perhaps because he had been restrained for too long, and after work, he would have fun, dancing, drinking, going to nightclubs, etc., just like other martial arts masters who lived a life of indulgence without any tomorrow. As a martial artist, he sells his labor, but his status is inferior. He waited for the director to come and pick him every day, and in order to be chosen before the others, Jackie Chan always performed hard. Jackie Chan was often chosen by directors because he was young, agile and willing to experiment. The directors were happy to use him, and if they had any difficult moves, they would think of "Chan Yuen Lung". Jackie Chan met Sammo Hung again and Hung introduced him with a job. Hung had signed a contract with Golden Harvest to provide stuntmen, so Jackie Chan went to work for Golden Harvest. In 1971, Golden Harvest started the production of Bruce Lee's movie "Jing Wu Men", and Jackie Chan was also involved in the stunt work, followed by one of Bruce Lee's movie "Dragon Warrior", in which Jackie Chan was also involved in the stunt work.
While Jackie was working as a martial arts instructor, he met Chan Chi-keung. When Jackie Chan returned to Australia, it turned out that Chen Ziqiang was the general manager of a new company set up by "million-dollar director" Lo Wei, who invited Jackie Chan to come back to Hong Kong to be the lead actor in a new movie, his first real leading role. Lo Wei hopes to make Jackie Chan the second Bruce Lee. It was then that the name "Jackie" was changed. In 1976, Jackie Chan was to be the successor of Bruce Lee in the filming of "New Martial Arts". Unfortunately, Jackie Chan was not suited to Bruce Lee's style of portrayal, and the film failed at the box office. However, Rowe continued to make similar films, such as Shaolin Woodman Lane, Rain and Shine, and Flying Over the Cloud Mountain, which did not do well at the box office, so distributors did not dare to release Jackie Chan's films, and Jackie Chan became box office poison.
Until 1978, Jackie Chan was loaned out to Ng Sze Yuen's Sze Yuen Company to shoot "Snake Difficult Hand", in which Jackie Chan added a lot of comedic elements to the movie, which was a big hit with the audience, and became the highest-grossing movie. The success of "Drunken Fist" further solidified Jackie Chan's status as a superstar, revealing his lively and elfin dynamics. After the popularity of "Drunken Fist", Jackie Chan started his career as a director, and his first two directorial works were "Laughing Fist" and "Brotherhood", both of which did well at the box office. At that time, Golden Harvest noticed Jackie Chan and arranged for him to go to Hollywood, USA to shoot "Killer Trench", "Cannonball Flying Car 1,2" and "Dragon Detective". However, he was not allowed to play because of the command of the foreign director in the country, so these films were not popular at that time. In 1983, he directed "The Dragon", which was a hit again. Afterwards, he worked with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in "Five Fortunes", "Fast Food Truck", "Fortunate Star", "Summer Fortunes" and "Heart of the Dragon". During this period, Jackie Chan helped Sammo Hung on the one hand, and Sammo Hung also influenced Jackie Chan to a certain extent, so his works were all in the style of the Hung Family, until Police Story naturally revealed Jackie Chan's own style. In addition to being a hit in Hong Kong, the movie was also a hit in Japan and won Jackie Chan the Best Director, Best Picture and Favorite Actor awards. After that, Jackie Chan's works, such as "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" and "Plan A Sequel" in 1987, "Flying Dragon" and "Police Story Sequel" in 1988, "The Miracle" in 1989, and "Project Flying Eagle" in 1990, all grossed more than 30 million dollars at the box office. And of course, Japan is no exception.
Carlos Torres was a young boy in the 1970s. When he was a martial arts director, it was the time when Bruce Lee was in his prime. Bruce Lee turned his hand to the clouds and his hand to the rain, pioneering a new trend in kung fu movies, and the trend of Prussia Lee swept the world. Wherever he went, almost no one was immune to his influence. At that time, kung fu movies were flooded with fake Bruce Lee. The situation didn't change until after Bruce Lee's death. Director Lo Wei was the first one to ask Bruce Lee to come back to Hong Kong to make a movie. Coincidentally, Jackie Chan also joined Lo Wei and became the second one to be trained by Lo Wei after Bruce Lee. Rovi's training of Jackie Chan was only concerned with molding Jackie Chan into Bruce Lee's successor, and did not explore Jackie Chan's own qualities, but of course, Jackie Chan was not willing to be a shadow of a martial artist, and he knew that he had ten years of solid background. Perhaps being forced to be someone else's shadow allowed Jackie to develop a rebellious attitude towards Bruce Lee. He wanted to break Bruce Lee and his myth. Under the management of Wu Si-Yuan. Yuen Woo-ping, Snake Diao Hands, and Drunken Fist came out of their cocoons, creating a new trend in Kung Fu and breaking the hard and fast Bruce Lee format. Jackie Chan reversed all the Bruce Lee stuff, Lee's serious and unsmiling expression, his gray harmonic mischief and mischievousness, Lee's positive greatness, his easy life, Lee's indifference and isolation, and he was kind and close to people. Jackie Chan put Bruce Lee's law, routine against the Shi, to Lee to play a joke, so that the tightening of the nerves to relax, slowly, everyone will fall to Jackie Chan, restored in the movie theater to look for laughter. The desire to relax in the movie theater was restored. Kung Fu comedy gradually became the trend, moderating Bruce Lee's overly masculine heroics. The first Jackie Chan-directed movie, Sifu, went against the blood-soaked killing scenes of the hero movies, and succeeded in digging out 36 kinds of Bench Kung Fu and Fan Kung Fu from the folk martial arts. Fans. Under skirt, instead of the monotonous and boring boxing and kicking. In those days, it was an important breakthrough.
In fact, as early as 1980, Jackie Chan was already shooting in Hollywood. At that time, he worked with Jose Fury and Kristen Dibbett in "Killer Trench", but the results were not so good. The next film, Cannonball Run, starred a group of American stars along with Jackie Chan and Sam Hui, with Jackie Chan in a small role. Although the film was a good seller, it didn't do much to help the Americans recognize Jackie Chan. The second entry into Hollywood was due to the fact that some of the movies at that time had Chinese actors and actresses, but were set in foreign countries. The box office success of these movies made Golden Harvest want Jackie Chan to go to Hollywood again. They portrayed Jackie Chan as a tough guy. Unfortunately, Jackie Chan was not that kind of tough guy, and the movie failed again. In recent years, Jackie Chan entered Hollywood again, but not to make foreigner's movies, but to make his own style of movies. For example, the 1995 movie "The Red Zone" and the 1997 movie "A Good Man" are all in Jackie Chan's own style. In 1999, the "Peak Hour", more attention by the American media, Jackie Chan became the first Hong Kong movie star to enter the Hollywood.
