Jackie Chan received a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars
On Nov. 13, Beijing time, Chinese actor Jackie Chan received the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in the United States. He also became the first Chinese actor to win the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. Dressed in a Chinese robe, Jackie Chan walked down the aisle with two panda dolls, "Long Long" and "Feng Feng", who are also "promotion ambassadors" who accompany him along the way to promote Chinese culture and engage in philanthropy. At the ceremony, Jackie Chan said, "This is a dream. I have worked in the film industry for 56 years, made more than 200 movies, and broken many bones. Finally, this award is mine."
On the day of the Jackie Chan awards were black comedy star Chris Tucker and Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, the former of the "Rush Hour" series with Jackie Chan. Speaking at the ceremony, Tucker said: "Working with this legend is amazing, every day I can't wait to go to the set to see him act." He also expressed his eagerness to work with Jackie Chan again. And Tom Hanks said: "Jackie Chan is an extremely creative and talented action actor who has taken great risks for his film career. It is really a pleasure to stand here and recognize his contribution and give him a lifetime achievement award. Good acting comes in many different forms, and if you are an actor, you will not fail to tell good acting when you see it."
Invite Stallone to witness
Jackie Chan, 62 years old this year, has been in the film for more than half a century, and has dedicated many series of blockbuster films such as "Police Story", "Plan A" and "Red Fan District". As of 2016, the films he starred in have exceeded 20 billion at the global box office.
Jackie Chan has said that he does not want to one day rely on crutches to collect a consolation prize, and must do more when he has energy. And yesterday he became the youngest ever Oscar winner. He specially invited his long-time friend Stallone to witness. "Years ago, I saw his golden statuette at Stallone's house and touched it curiously. Today, I invited him too."
Speaking of the acquaintance with Stallone, it goes back 20 years, "When Stallone called his secretary to Hong Kong, invited me to the premiere, and gave me a first-class ticket. At that time, I didn't know who he was, and no one knew me when I walked down the red carpet at the premiere. The first time I knew that this was a star on the ground, and that was a handprint. Seven or eight years later, I also had a star, and I pressed the handprint, and I pressed it twice because the first time was stolen."
"Lofty words"
The future will continue to jump the train
Jackie Chan, who won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, also joked in an interview backstage: "I'm still so young, with your support, I can continue to jump off buildings, trains, and planes." Jackie Chan's words are true. "Flying Tiger" and "Kung Fu Yoga" starring him have been scheduled for release nationwide on December 30 and January 28, 2017. Wang Kai, Wang Continental, Sang Ping and Wu Yonglun, the stars of the film "Flying Tiger", and director Ding Sheng also gave a special chorus "Big Brother" as a gift, and played "Thank you for growing up with me" at the end of the MV. The lead actors Huang Zitao, Wang Kai and Wang Continental all said that "working with big brother feels very close, because we all have his company when we grow up", while the director Ding Sheng said: "It was big brother who brought me from the advertising industry to the film industry. He has achieved many people, and today he has given him the achievements he deserves."
Immediately after yesterday's awards ceremony, Jackie Chan returned to the cast of the sci-fi action film "Blood of the Machine" to complete the final part of the filming, according to reporters. Next year, his "Ordinary People" starring Pierce Brosnan will also be released.
The three Asians have also received lifetime achievement awards
The Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement is given annually to film practitioners who have made significant contributions to the film industry or who have made outstanding service to the Academy. Before Jackie Chan, three other Asians have won the award. The Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, the Indian director Satyajit Rey, and the Japanese "animation master" Hayao Miyazaki received the honor in 1989, 1991 and 2014. Jackie Chan also received the honor on that day along with the veteran film editor Anna Coats ("Lawrence of Arabia"), the veteran casting director Lin Stamaster ("West Side Story" "Iron Face") and the veteran documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman ("Crazy Horse Cabaret Show" "Titka Folly")
