Although, their achievements are very high. But everyone found a strange problem. Is that the two best actors have never worked together. Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan are both very famous figures in the entertainment circle. If two people have a cooperative movie, then the box office is absolutely unprecedented, but there is no intersection between them.
Chow Yun Fat witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong films, and he himself rose in that era and played many classic roles. For example, the characters such as gambler, Xu Wenqiang and Mark all left a deep impression on the audience. 1986, Chow Yun Fat won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role of "Mark" in The True Color of Heroes, and became a household name.
Since then, every film in Chow Yun Fat has been very popular. And he also vividly explained the characters in the film, which impressed everyone. Therefore, everyone was impressed by Chow Yun Fat's superb acting skills, so he was awarded the title of "God of Acting". It can be said that Chow Yun Fat is a movie superstar in Greater China.
Jackie Chan is several years older than Chow Yun Fat. In the 1970s and 1980s, he was very popular for films such as Drunken Boxing and Never Say Never. Kung fu comedy movies are unique and have gained a firm foothold in the entertainment circle. Anyone who has seen Jackie Chan's films knows that his films not only show China Kung Fu, but also are very funny. After becoming famous in China, Jackie Chan entered Hollywood and became an internationally renowned kung fu superstar. So, why have these two excellent superstars never cooperated?
Actually, Jackie Chan wants to cooperate with Chow Yun Fat. In addition, he invited Chow Yun Fat many times, but all of them were rejected by Chow Yun Fat. The reason for refusing is that there is no suitable script. Except this time, Jackie Chan once attended a party when they came on stage. Chen Long tentatively asked Chow Yun Fat again. Jackie Chan said, "Brother Fa, if the two of us can cooperate in a play ...", but the words were interrupted by Chow Yun Fat's "Wow" before he finished. Seeing this, many people understand that Chow Yun Fat doesn't want to cooperate with Jackie Chan. Otherwise, he wouldn't refuse Jackie Chan again and again. So, what is the reason?
Moreover, we can also see the differences between the two films. Although they are all interesting, Jackie Chan's films are somewhat "heroic", with too much emphasis on the protagonist, while Chow Yun Fat's films are even more "colorful". Every supporting actor can have a chance to perform, and there will be no stealing the play. Both of them are superstars and their fields are obviously different. One is interested in acting, and the other is more intense, so the cooperation between the two people is not necessarily the same.
Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan are different in life. Chow Yun Fat's net worth is as high as 5.6 billion, but there is no such thing as a famous car in Chow Yun Fat. He often chooses to take public transportation such as subway and bus, and his dream is to be an ordinary person. Jackie Chan's net worth is obviously much more than that of Chow Yun Fat, but Jackie Chan doesn't have much concept of money and always spares no effort to do public welfare. Jackie Chan announced that he would donate naked after his death, but later Fang Zuming slowly learned his lesson. Jackie Chan showed compassion for his son, saying that his property would be left to his son, but ignored his daughter, so they were completely different people.
Although their acting skills are superb and their popularity is high, the so-called "no common goal, no common goal", their personalities and styles of play are completely different, so how can two people who don't deal with each other cooperate together?
