TV series targets urban white-collar workers: Jackie Chan's social networking site promotes busyness - China Film Network

Recently, Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan has been active on the silver screen and frequently appeared on social networking sites, continuously announcing his various news. A few days ago, Jackie Chan uploaded a series of photos from his attendance at the Mexican premiere to Kaixin.com, China's largest social networking site, for promoting his new movie "The Karate Kid."

Although it was a successful start, Jackie Chan's following days weren't as smooth, in terms of TV series. In the North American box office market, first "Toy Story 3" pushed it to the top three rankings, then "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" came out on top, pulling down both "Toy Story 3" and "The Karate Kid."

"The Karate Kid" is a remake of the 1984 Hollywood film "The Karate Kid", starring Jackie Chan and child star Jaden Smith. Interestingly, this black child star's father is none other than Will Smith, who is very familiar to Chinese audiences. After its release in North America in June, it quickly topped the weekly chart with a box office revenue of $56 million. Ten days later, it premiered domestically and grossed 25 million yuan in just six days, claiming the domestic box office champion title. More notably, while achieving high box office results, the film also received high praise, with netizens on Kaixin.com giving this Kung Fu film a high score of three and a half stars and 7.2 points, which is quite an impressive achievement for a pure commercial film.
