Little Big Soldier Advance Screening

CHINA.ORG.CN

Jackie Chan's new movie "Little Big Soldiers," co-starring Jackie Chan and Lee Hom Wang and set to premiere on Feb 14, the Chinese New Year, had an advance screening at the first "Jackie Chan Theater" in Beijing on Monday.

Jackie Chan played the role of a "little big soldier" who had served for decades in the Liang army during China's Warring States Period, but had never killed a single enemy because of his good nature. His greatest wish was to return home and live a peaceful life as a farmer on his own small piece of land. But during an ambush battle against the Wei army, he captured - or rather "kidnapped"- the heroic but injured Wei prince, played by Lee Hom Wang. Thus began his long journey to bring the prince back to Liang and collect the reward of five acres of farmland, but his kindness creates many twists and turns in the journey.

At the screening, both Jackie Chan said the movie delivered the simple message that a man should live and fight for his family. In the movie, all the "little big soldier" wanted was a simple and peaceful family life, so he wished for the war's end through any way possible, even rescuing the enemy general. It highlights the close ties between family and country in that period of history. He also said the movie aims to tell the younger generations they should be satisfied and thankful for the life they have now, stop pursuing luxuries and commercialism, and think more about how they can contribute to their country.

"I don't know about other kids, but I see my son switch to new models of mobile phones all the time, while some other kids can't even get one that they want. He wasted too much money on functions that he doesn't need. "

It was also revealed at the screening that the Jackie Chan Theater will help the new generation of Chinese directors and screenwriters show their movies in the theater at a low cost.

"I would like to build a new channel for these new directors and screenwriters to display their works, and bring audiences the movies they love at a very low cost. This is one of my dreams. I plan to open up Jackie Chan Theaters all over China, and use part of the profits for charity as well as have free tickets for kids on Saturdays. I hope we can make billions in profits so I can have more money for charity."

I really like Jackie's ideas ... free tickets for kids ... very clever and thoughtful! Long term benefits of an idea like that far outweigh short term costs.

Jackie Chan - Yaolai International Cinema

Some English news and photos about Jackie's movie theater:

International movie star Jackie Chan has taken on another role in the film industry: boss of a movie theater chain.

The first Jackie Chan - Yaolai International Cinema, co-funded by the kung fu star and Hong Kong-based Sparkle Roll Group Limited, started trial operations in west Beijing on Monday with a private screening of Chan's new comedy "Little Big Soldiers."

With 17 screens and 3,500 seats, the venue covers 15,000 square meters and claims to be the largest movie theatre in the country.

Five halls in the cinema provide free hearing-aid equipment for those in need, Jackie Chan said.

The actor said he hopes the venue will also offer screens for non-commercial films and productions by young directors.

Fifteen Jackie Chan cinemas are expected to open in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou this year.

Saving Tigers Jackie Style

From the GLOBAL TIMES

As the Year of the Tiger approaches, conservationists are using the occasion to highlight increasing concerns of China's dwindling tiger population, issuing calls to protect tigers in the wild and ramping up efforts to save the endangered species.

A series of public service announcements (PSA) were unveiled Friday, with action star Jackie Chan lending his name to WildAid's "When the Buying Stops, the Killing Can Too" campaign for a second time.

"As this majestic creature becomes threatened with extinction, we must stand side by side to protect them and say no to the tiger trade," Chan said at the PSA launch and press briefing in Beijing.

"Consuming tigers' skins as a symbol of luxury and their bones for traditional medicine and health tonics are traditions for Chinese and still exist," explained Fan Zhiyong, Species Program Director at WWF Beijing, speaking at the briefing.

"There are about 20 Siberian Tigers in the border area of Heilongjiang Province and Russia, 8-12 Bengal Tigers in southeastern Tibet and 11-16 Indochinese Tigers in southwest China," explained Su Ming from China's State Forestry Administration (SFA), adding that only 48 reliable clues have been found for the whereabouts of the rare South China Tiger.

The SFA issued a directive last month to boost the protection of wild tigers through natural habitat management, stronger law enforcement against illegal trade in tiger parts and products, stricter regulation of captive breeding regulations and raising public awareness to reduce the demand for tiger products.

The directive specifically called for local forestry bureaus in China to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to increase monitoring and undertake enforcement measures against illegal trade.

Despite a complete trade ban for tiger products issued by the Chinese government in 1993, a 2007 report by the world's largest wildlife trade-monitoring network, TRAFFIC, found that demand for tiger parts, such as tiger bone for tonics and tiger skins for clothing and display, still exists.

"The demand for tiger products drives people to kill the tiger if they know they can get a lot of money only with the cost of bullet, while farming a tiger costs thousands," WildAid President Steve Trent said at the briefing.

"By simply not consuming their parts and products and making our support for wildlife and the natural world known, we can directly influence the unsustainable trade in these animals that is reducing their numbers so rapidly. These individual actions are critically important and we each have a role and responsibility to act now, before it is too late," he added.

"Double or nothing, we hope this year is not the last Year of the Tiger that will see actual tigers surviving in the wild," Fan said.

Efforts to protect the tiger in China have been stepped up considerably in the past 10 years. WWF and the Chinese government have built five Siberian Tiger conservation areas totaling 1,200 square kilometers. According to the SFA, a total of 17 tiger conservation areas and 74 conservation management offices are in operation and 6,000 tigers are living in captivity.

In terms of international efforts, the Kathmandu Global Tiger Workshop was held October 27-30 and the First Asian Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation from January 27-30. Bringing together ministers from 13 countries, the conference was one event in a continuum of efforts planned for 2010 that will culminate with the Heads of Government Tiger Summit in Russia in September.

The workshop and conference examined protection of wild tigers and their breeding areas, creating buffer zones and conservation corridors and stopping infrastructure projects in critical tiger habitats. They also looked at ways of empowering local communities in and around tiger habitats with sustainable economic incentives and appropriate technologies to minimize human-tiger conflicts.

"Today fewer than 4,000 tigers [worldwide] survive in increasingly isolated and fragmented wild populations, down from over 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century," Trent from WildAid said.

Figures from the WWF put the world's dwindling tiger numbers at only 3,200.

Interesting Blog, Interesting Info

Firstly I found this REALLY interesting blog today - this guy is plainly a regular make-up artist/hairstylist for Jackie. You can find his blog HERE - It goes to the original blog in Chinese - you may do your own translating because the pictures from SINA blogs do not show in the Google translation. If you work your way back you can see a variety of entries all featuring Jackie. NO juicy inside info I am afraid LOL but interesting nonetheless.

One bit of information though I found extremely interesting

Big Brother a white dress symbolizes the film's continuing success.

Now I wonder if that is just Jackie's thing or a regular Chinese thing because he wore white again yesterday at the soft opening of the theater complex. I will try ask a few people and see what I find out. If you have any thoughts on this please share them.

He also said that Steve Yoo wears red for the same reason. Now red as a symbol of good luck in Chinese culture I do know about which makes Jackie's choice of white interesting.

"油菜花" performance - Jackie Chan

This is posted on youtube with 'Probably his best performance of this song so far' in the description. I think I may well agree! Definately the best LIVE performance of this song:

AND I finally got around to doing a proper translation of "油菜" which the online translators all translate as 'rape' which doesn't sound so good. I saw this morning Jackie Chan.com tried to avoid the problem by calling it 'Flower of the Field Mustard' but that isn't correct either. It is correctly rapeseed (one word) which may be more familiar to you as Canola!

So ... can we call the song Canola Flowers? Or as I have been dodging the bullet by calling it 'Youcai Flower' which sounds nice and poetical.

Jackie and Gree Airconditioners

Ok so I read this a few days ago already and it wasn't much of a report so I didn't bother share it but now some nice person has posted the advert on youtube so here it is:

Jackie and Gree Air Conditioners:




GREE.CN can be found HERE

Interesting that the advert looks like it was filmed around the time of the Olympics - certainly the Olympics were the inspiration for it at very least.

Private Preview Little Big Soldier - Theater opening

SINA.COM or TRANSLATED:

(Reporter Nie Jing) Yesterday, Jackie Chan and Wang Lee Hom's action-comedy film "Little Big Soldier", in Studio City Studios held a media preview games. This time, Jackie Chan is no longer "The Immortal Superman", and has become a "cowardly," the little guy, martial arts is not loud noise, and only throwing stones to resist the enemy.

Film is a costume piece, the background is the Warring States period, and Leung Kwok-war in defending the country. In the Battle of Wei Liang, Leung Kwok-soldier (played by Jackie Chan) captured defending sovereign Prince (played by Lee Hom), Liang Wei soldiers for escort to the Prince Edward Leung Kwok-Ling Shang, along the way encounter many difficulties and dangers. Jackie Chan a big show of fists, but the heroic image of the past is different from the Jackie Chan is a clever and afraid of death of the soldier, though not jumping off a building is not Speed, but there are also cliff wall of the breathtaking action and throwing stones to pound from behind Highlights of the eye play yards, comedy martial arts is still quite spectacular.

Jackie Chan has said that "Little Big Soldier" is a stress anti-war, peace and pay tribute to the movie. This sounds very serious subject matter, nor even easier for busy Lunar New Year stalls in the exhibition, but the overall effect from the point of view, the film also no lack of humor. But the audience has been generally agreed that while "no longer can play," but Jackie Chan is also very carefully the performance of humor in the work hard, but the effect is difficult to say disappointing. Such as Jackie Chan's always, "I Dieyue the ... ...," an excuse to make some viewers feel that "long-winded."

Very surprised that yesterday's test film, the effect of a smile the best games, because "Shagen" Baoqiang of 3 minutes Xifen. When he was riding threw up a staggering halo lens appears, actually a woman the audience shouted excitedly: "ah, Baoqiang!" And later said: "He will not just been done, right?" Then, not so Baoqiang openings, screen appears on its face close-up, the entire film Office also issued a Comedy, when he fell on the ground they sit in an arrow one said "what circumstances", the audience can not help but smile shot thigh. Many viewers sorry for Jackie Chan and even "cry foul", saying that "he was busy for 90 minutes, but was 3 minutes away Xifen of Baoqiang limelight."

The film will be held February 14 (New Year's) release.

DISUXIAOZHU.BLOG.SOHU.COM or TRANSLATED:
(SPOILER ALERT)

Although the "Little Big Soldier" is still Impossible to meat, and played quite wonderful, but this does not affect the transformation of it to be Jackie Chan to make, because in this film, Jackie Chan went so far as no longer invincible, and even became a skill that some general cowardly escape soldiers, look at works of Jackie Chan over the years, so moving the film itself and decide to love it is first.

This is a very much in line with the Lunar New Year stalls film, audience laughter from the audience to see every soldier Jackie Chan and teenager Lee Hom's hard funny. Although Jackie Chan can not fight, but that does not mean a decrease of hit movie, pay attention to a fixed routine moves of Jackie Chan-style martial arts comedy clever, is still prevalent in the movie through from beginning to lay out all about entertainment-oriented plot, quite consistent with the Lunar New Year stalls the needs of the audience laugh. In his film, Jackie Chan is still not satisfied with the old to the ubiquitous display with their own skill, including a tree-climbing action, must be hands-to show the details! Jackie Chan is to work really hard work to film a model!

Wang Lee Hom should be given a lot of surprises audiences, such as the cinema is not, after a friend reminded me that he had been in "Lust, Caution" in the show, I almost forgot that he had acted in the film, and "Little Big Soldier" will never let You forget Lee Hom, he found dramatic talent, the handsome guy constantly distorted face, but people think he real cute, even to the end, be able to escape out of his mouth strange article, and gradually his language and behavior classified as unity, to be concerned with acting he had. But may have to adapt to his speech costume dramas take a little time, he goes on too clear-cut face, no matter what kind of spoil into are still to come from outside Xinjiang, a foreign land who played a bit-hop scene is really defending the prince -- - Fortunately, his brother, Prince Seung Jun mouth of another, and looks, are also foreigners like! ^ _ ^

Unfortunately, this is a bit like the actor Baoqiang choices drop a little, he played a few minutes, simply to achieve a unified audience laugh points, but for funny, humor, others can only hope that in the Yu-Ming Du, and LU Hui-light such as actor who is, indeed, a bit far-fetched, and Wu Yue played the Bandit, but added there was also pleasantly surprised (at first glance like Jianghua).

"Little Big Soldier" is a man play, play Back to Basics for Lin Peng became the only hope for man drama and emotional components, in the film Xifen few are more of her stunning appearance several times, although the dress simple, face dirty, But this film is the only emotionally moved by the beauty also makes soldiers, supporting him on the road all the way to the Resurrection of Guitian forward. The first film, as a newcomer, have to say that Lin Peng's current performance is worthy of praise, and dance skills are show songs, and one in Hong Kong compared with an ABC, the drama, she graduated from Coban mouth is the most pure of the professional The. Lin Peng faces can also be impressive, I am looking forward to her next movie work, I heard that she had probably shot the film director Zhang Yimou, was later suspended because the project but not developed into, I suppose, "Jinling 13 hairpin," She kinda wanted to come to the right.

However, while "Little Big Soldier" in various roles, through comedy, modeling, and simple plot of the paved, are able to show clear-cut, but the film's story, the plot can not be avoided serious problems, not just clips crushing confusion caused by the is the whole story without scrutiny, the expression of ideological content is too deliberate, films strong emphasis on the Resurrection of Guitian clear sky the mood, in addition to beautiful scenery with a few outlines, the protagonist repeatedly emphasized the "little people", "farm," "Fine" and "my father said," and a series of lines repeatedly, but especially blunt, the audience should occur only by virtue of the frequency of remember the words from the bottom of my heart has not been refused a war on the ordinary people yearning for peace with the deeply emotional heart.

After reading "Little Big Soldier" is another puzzling place: This promotional film is also too bad the bar to do! Brought the whole film there were several worthy of a good zoom, and can fight for the layout of large areas, such as Jackie Chan, Wang Lee Hom sympathetic relationship, a few natural beauty of the selection and presentation, Jackie Chan has been cheated of the experience of playing ... but now ... presented as if only "Little Big Soldier" the words and the Jackie Chan movie title, as to what the story is? Which era? Absolutely no idea, but as a full theatrical elements, but also is a typical Jackie Chan movie-style video, and even Jackie Chan's fans can not be attracted to the theater viewing, it is extremely failed!

Last night's viewing was carried out Jackie Chan's new private cinema, known as a private viewing will be, but it also came to the several hundred people, cinema well, we are looking at the biggest hall should be comparable to giant screen large screen, was very enjoyable, in addition to the Wukesong a bit in the most distant Tau outside it was still worth a visit.

WORLD WILDLIFE FUND TIGERS:

Tiger
Overview

Scientific Name: Panthera tigris

Population: There could be as few as 3, 200 left in the wild.

Background

The tiger, largest of all cats, is one of the most charismatic and evocative species on Earth; it is also one of the most threatened. Most tigers live in isolated pockets spread across increasingly fragmented forests stretching from India to south-eastern China and from the Russian Far East to Sumatra, Indonesia.

Poisoned, trapped, snared, shot, captured...
Across its range, this magnificent animal is being persecuted. Today, tigers are poisoned, shot, trapped and snared, and the majority of these animals are sought to meet the demands of a continuing illegal wildlife trade - which includes traditional Chinese medicine.

Hunters, traders, and poor local residents whose main means of subsistence comes from the forest, are wiping out the tiger and the natural prey upon which it depends. While poaching for trade continues to menace the tiger's survival, perhaps the greatest long-term threats are the loss of habitat and the depletion of the tiger's natural prey. Large commercial plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries.

In the past century, the world has lost three of the nine tiger subspecies. The Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers have all become extinct ... and many scientists believe the South China tiger is “functionally extinct”.
