Jackie Chan Got the Huge Benefits in the Movie Industry

As one of the biggest news of this year's Forbes list of highest-paid actors, Jackie Chan was named as the world’s second highest-paid actor after raking in $61 million this year, just behind Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

It was reported, Jackie Chan had a couple more Chinese films currently in post-production these years and he also starred in the latest installment of the “Monkey King” franchise, it is said, Jackie Chan’s estimated net worth of $350 million.

As we know, in 2015, the ticket sales in China were up a whopping 49 percent to $9.37 billion, and box office takings are forecast to surpass the United States' in 2017. Since Chinese authorities maintain strict control on what movies appear on the big screen, it doesn’t hurt to rub elbows with the government. According to BBC, only about 34 foreign films are selected a year. 

Some have implied that Jackie Chan’s influential role as a member in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conferential board has enabled him to get the green-light on films in Beijing. So Hollywood studios have partnered with Chinese moviemakers to avoid being designated "foreign".

In fact, one of the biggest Chinese film companies, Wanda, bought a unit of American company Legendary Entertainment and will soon release The Great Wall, starring Matt Damon.

Jackie Chan's film is always the ‘Guarantee’ of high box office, but besides acting, Jackie Chan also manages his own branded merchandise and his cinema chain, it is said, the Jackie Chan Yaolai International Cinema features a 17-screen multiplex and Chan has plans to construct more. This is also why Jackie Chan is so rich!
