　　　 Movie Network NewsJackie Chan’s self-directed and self-starred action blockbuster is about to land in South Korea. On the 18th, Jackie Chan participated in the film press conference held at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. Jackie Chan not only expressed his feelings of visiting South Korea again, but also told the behind-the-scenes story of "Zodiac" and praised his partner Kwon Sang-woo’s excellent acting skills. He also repeatedly emphasized his gratitude to Korean fans. Kwon Sang-woo, on the other hand, failed to attend the press conference because of the filming of the TV series, and could only appear on the red carpet at night. South Korean artists such as Park Zhenying, Miss A, Chun Hye Bin, and Oh Hyun-kyung also came to join the VIP screening.

Jackie Chan does not consider himself an action actor, denies retiring and will continue to make action movies

　　　 At the meeting that day, Jackie Chan’s action skills became the most important topic. In "Zodiac", Jackie Chan also performed a variety of action skills, including fighting with opponents, climbing up and down from high-rise walls, jumping from helicopters to free fall, and so on. In particular, the scenes of using parachutes to fight enemies and vicious dogs were impressive. Regarding the title of "action actor", Jackie Chan said disapprovingly: "There are many action actors who are short-lived, often disappear quickly and are forgotten by the audience. I am not an action actor, but an actor. In the past 10 years, I have also tried all kinds of roles, not only action acting. I hope everyone can also see me as an action actor, not just an action actor."
However, Jackie Chan’s acting skills cannot be ignored. Jackie Chan revealed that when filming the scene of snatching the beast head over the volcano, he really encountered a volcanic eruption, "At that time, it was possible that he would really die, but on second thought, he felt that if he really died like that, it would be very handsome!"

Jackie Chan does not need to stand in for dangerous actions

　　　 Relying on previous rumors of retirement, Jackie Chan clarified: "I will continue to make action scenes until I can’t make them. But’Zodiac ‘should be the most action scenes and the most intense and really high-intensity work of all the films I have ever made. In this sense, it can also be said that’Zodiac’ is my last action movie." "Zodiac" has a universal theme. Although every country cries out that global culture is one, it always avoids the history of looting other countries’ cultural relics in war. Jackie Chan also hopes to send a positive message through this film, calling for "the return of goods to their original owners".
