Jackie Chan: Who Says Ya Need Talent to be an Action Star
May 15th, 2007 by dd
So here’s the deal. Jackie Chan is looking for the next big action star in China on his TV show, The Disciple (Think The Apprentice for movies). Thing is, Jackie doesn’t seem too impressed with what he’s seeing. His words of advice: You don’t have to crack heads in kung fu to make it big.
In fact, the drunken master himself is frustrated by the emphasis placed on kung fu skills. He said in a blog entry on his Web site that he’s looking for grace in movement, be it from sports, dance or kung fu.
Chan said a background in kung fu was not necessary to succeed as an action star, citing former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star Zhang Ziyi as examples.
Why have talent when modern movie technology can enhance the look of kung fu moves!
“In my movies, I don’t want any violent action. I’m looking for people who have beautiful and rhythmic movement so that the action can look something like dancing,” Chan said.
Chan himself was trained in Peking Opera and is known for his comical, dance-like moves and stunts.
By contrast, another action star, Jet Li, was a national kung fu champion in China before he crossed over to the film industry. [IHT]

Michelle Yeoh Sounds Off on Chinese Men
April 2nd, 2007 by dd
Hmmmm, not sure about this one. DaDump is going to give her the benefit of the doubt because it’s Monday and I’m hungover again and I’m nice like that. But in case you’re curious, Chinese-Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh is sick of relationships with Chinese men, claiming they are all chauvinistic and old-fashioned. Basically, men are pigs…. the Chinese ones at least.
Yeoh, 44, who will next be seen in the upcoming Sunshine was once married to Hong Kong film producer Dickson Poon, ended their three-and-a-half year marriage to return to acting, after tiring of her role as traditional housewife.
“Somehow I feel that Chinese men are much more chauvinistic. It is in our genes going back generations. The majority of them would say there is nothing wrong with being chauvinistic. To their mind, that is looking after the women well.
“We are the damsel in distress, the one who is always rescued.
“But I was very formative in my ex-husband. I think it depends on where they were educated and where they end up. If you think of Hong Kong it’s so advanced and cosmopolitan, but it is still very Chinese.”
Meanwhile the Malaysian actress is extremely proud of her Chinese roots, but won’t let age-old superstitions “ruin her life”. [femalefirst]
Since it’s the Year of the Pig, DaDump is gong to take that as a compliment. Oink, oink, babe.
