Director Larry Yang “I have always been a fan of Jackie Chan and it is my lifetime dream of being able to work with Jackie Chan in a movie. After watching a documentary about “Stuntmen”, I wrote this story and pitch the story directly to Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan added, "At the beginning I was being courteous, but I didn't expect him to come to me again after 5 days with the story. Some part of his story made me cry, and for me, to be able to show the world the ‘stuntman spirit’, meant I had to be a part of it!"
REMINISCING THE LIFE ON SET AS A ‘STUNTMAN’
Jackie Chan vowed not to stop and will continue to work hard.
Jackie Chan is famous for performing his action scene for movies, even almost at the age of 70, he performs his own stunts. Jackie Chan joined the entertainment industry at the age of 8. He started out as a stuntman, so he is very familiar with the world of ‘stuntmen’. "We were very miserable at that time. It was only 5 yuan a day. We were first on the set and told to perform dangerous stunts (back in the days where there were hardly any safety measures taken). We were scolded all the time and sometimes wronged to the point of tears, but I won't be let it bring me down." He added, "One time I broke my leg in the morning and had to start work at night. I tried to continue filming even being in a wheelchair. It wasn't for money. When you ask me now why? We were born to be in the entertainment industry and because someone has to do it."
As time passes and the development in the film industry, the ‘stunts and stuntman’ perform are so different nowadays. Jackie Chan admitted, "To be honest, our era has passed. A generation of actors will not let you fight. Once the protagonist is injured, the entire crew will stop, but our spirit of daring to fight and fight will be preserved. The stuntman spirit needs protection.”
And Jackie Chan, who has been a fighter all his life, this year, is also his 60th year in the industry. When asked how long he will continue to ‘fight’, he declared, "This year is my 60th year in the industry. From being an unknown figure to now, I have garnered the support of fans all over the world. As long as I can move and fight, I hope to make a movie every year for my audience and fans all over the world.”
During the exclusive junket session with Malaysia entourage, Jackie Chan received a surprised birthday cake especially prepared by Malaysia Distribution Rights Holder Shanghai Pictures representatives Dr. Vijay Pillai and Dato’ Thai, as an early birthday wish to Jackie Chan (his birthday falls on 7th April 2023) as well as wish good box office collection for RIDE ON.
