We continued our promotional tour for Little Big Soldier. We had a bunch of people on this tour and had to travel to different cities. That's why I hired a private jet because we can be in 3 cities in one day. For me its nothing, but for many of my students and staff, its their first time taking a private jet so its very exciting for them. We continued to travel, rehearse, record the show, have interviews and perform in the Chinese New Year shows.















At one of the many shows, I was waiting in the backstage with nothing to do. I started noticing a young professional hair dresser, blow drying the hair for one of my Lucky 7 guys. He is young, but I taught him some old traditions on how to do hair. I used to be very good. Actually I still am! Ha ha. I do my own hair and make up. Wherever a lot of celebrities go, they always bring two make-up artists and two hair people - but I do my own hair and makeup. I always tell my students that you have to learn this because you cannot always bring people with you.



After we traveled to 5 cities, we finally went back to Beijing. Its really good when you have a private jet because its so fast and convenient. On the 8th, we tested my Jackie Chan International Theatre. We tested the sound effects, screens, people's opinions. My logo is everywhere and I have many plans for the big theater. I hope that when it opens, all of my fans will come and visit. It was the first time I showed Little Big Soldier to anyone! I invited many of my friends to come see the movie. I was very happy that day!




Here is a sculpture from Who Am I?


The next day, I went to a location in Beijing to see an old factory. They want to turn it into a studio and want me to put it under my name. I don't know how big it is - I just know how that it is huge!







Right after that, I went to Tianjin. That was the last stop on our promotional tour. I remember Tianjin 10 months ago..the area was completely empty. Ten months later, wow! They already developed a whole entire city! So quick! Beautiful Tianjin.





The next day I had a photo shoot with a guy from Paris. When I went to the studio - what a coincidence! Someone shooting in the studio next to me was a girl that I have worked with before. Here is a picture. Everybody guess who she is!



After the photoshoot, I went straight to the airport and went home to Hong Kong. When I went home, the first thing I saw were my dogs. I LOVE my dogs! They miss me! Look, they are jumping on me!



As soon as I landed, I didn't even have time! I unpacked my luggage and ate at the same time!




It was the eve of Lunar New Year - so I went to the new office studio. Everybody remember my old offices? There was a big leaking problem. I was so angry because it was a big problem! So I moved the office to Clear Water Bay and rebuilt the whole studio. I hope very soon I can show you. We had New Years Eve dinner and I went to my friend's house to celebrate. I met so many young artists. When I went, I gave many many red envelopes.



On New Years Day, I went to my office studio again. Finally I had time to open everything that I bought from America - Home Depot, Loews, etc. I'm a very simple guy - small things like playing with these construction toys make me very happy.

Tonight, I am going to Berlin! Its easy to give money, but it's hard to give red envelopes. I'd rather just give the money without the red envelopes - but tradition is tradition.

February 15 (星期一)

今天,我们继续为《大兵小将》出席宣传活动。这一次的旅程,我带领一班人到国内很多不同的地方做宣传。因此,我特别租了一航私人飞机,那就可以一日之内到三个城市去。对我来说,私人飞机是没什么希奇的,但是对我的徒弟们和公司职员来说,踏私人飞机实在太兴奋因为是他们的第一次。我们到处奔跑,为活动彩排,录电视节目,做访问和参加农历新年的活动。

有一次参加活动的时候,在后台等出场时,留意到一位年轻发型师正在帮一名新七小福吹头。虽然他很年青,但是我还教他一些弄头发的传统方法。其实,我以前弄头发很好的,现在还是! 哈哈。我的头发和化妆都是自己做的。我知道很多艺人,去到那里都会带著两位化妆师给两位发型师生 - 但是我就自己来的。我经常跟徒弟们说,这些技术要学会,因为有时候是不可能带著其他人。

去完五个城市做宣传后,我们终于回到北京了。有私人飞机真好,又快又方便。28日,我们一行人到成龙国际影城,试用影城里的设施,包括试音,试映和试探观众反应。影城里,到处都看到我的牌子标记,我也为了戏院准备很多计画。希望日后正式开业的时候,大家可以来参观。今天, 我首次播映《大兵小将》! 邀请了很多朋友来看首映。真是非常高兴的一天!

第二天,去了北京一个地方看旧工厂。他们希望把它改成电影厂,还想把我为物主。我不知道这个工厂有几大 - 我只知道是非常大!

看完之后,就马上启程去天津,也是宣传《大兵小将》的最后一站。我记得十个月前,来天津的时候。。只是看见空地一块。十个月后的今天,哗! 已经发展成一个漂亮的城市! 真快! 美丽的天津。

第二天,我跟一位来自巴黎的摄影师拍了一套照片。到达摄影厂的时候 - 真巧合! 在旁边的摄影厂,碰见一位曾经跟我合作过的女演员。这是我们的合照,大家猜猜她的谁!

拍完照片之后,马上赶去机场,乘坐飞机回香港。当我回到家里,第一时间就去看看我的两头狗。我爱我的狗儿! 他们也挂念我! 大家看看,他们跳上我身上!

从落机到现在,时间都没有了! 回家都是一边吃饭,一边把行李里的东西拿出来收拾!

今天是除夕 - 我到公司的新办公室去。大家还记得以前的旧写字楼吗? 我们发现这里流水,而且很严重。当时感到很怒气,因为问题真是不小的! 因此,我的公司搬到清水湾去,还重新建造办公室。希望好快就可以给你们看。晚上到朋友屋企,一起吃团年饭,还有遇见很多新艺人。去到的时候,我派了很多红包给大家。

年初一,我又返去公司. 这次终于有时间解开在美国买回来的东西 - Home Depot,Loews等等的购物品。其实, 我是一个非常简单的人 - 小小事情,像这些建筑玩具,足以令我非常开心和满足。

今晚,我会启程去柏林! 其实,把现钱给人很容易,用红包把钱给人很难。我宁愿不用红包,只把现金给人好得多 - 但是,这是中国人的传统。

I congratulate a Jackie Chan with the Chinese New Year. My name is Nikolay. To me of 14 years. I badly talk on English, this message I write through the dictionary, I apologise, if I have made somewhere errors. I live in Russia. I know that in this country who is small goes and takes a great interest in it. A Jackie the Tub I take a great interest in you from 3 years. I wished to be similar to you since the childhood. As I take a great interest also a kung fu which studied too from 3 years. We is small studied styles and all the same not up to the end knew them, these styles named Vin-Chun and Shaolin Tsuan. I know receptions from these styles a little. At us the trainer training us has left. After that remains two pupils, I and one more boy but as it was more senior me, it have intertwined in the senior group. Since then I did not go any more on trainings, but not that I was one in group, and because of that that we studied the majority not a kung fu, and simple fights in a ring. I of the childhood wished to communicate with you, and here I had an Internet, I searched so much days, as it is possible to communicate with you, and Here has found your site. Whether now I only should learn you read messages which are written to you by people if YES you could not write that, please, in the following The story about itself (the Jackie Chan) or that who it writes a Jackie what be a word only that This word it was written on the Russian. Excuse that I lay down conditions, but for me it very much Important. Please. And if is not present to write sites where I can correspond from a Jackie Chan. Many thanks.

Jackie Chan is a very nice guy. I meet him 3 times in Toronto because I was always showing up when he was filming Tuxedo; I think he began to recognize me the third time. The first time we tried to take a picture and it all was ready; his arm around my shoulder and lol...oh no, no film in my camera!; that was horrible but he was so nice. So, I had to go back to bug him again and so I did and I got autograph and my picture that all my brothers envy so much. I am glad I dared to bug him. Thanks Jackie Chan.

hye Jacky... when are u coming to Malaysia? last nite i watched Little Big soldier, actually it is nice film especially for family. the important things is 'LIFE'. WAR MEANS IGNORANCE OF LIFE. but yet, u know...everybody knows that nowadays young people like to watch action rather thinking of the moral of the story... all the best!!! alwix support your career & movie...it is a 'life' story.

Hi Jackie, Firstly, I want to say that Little Big Solider is an awesome light-hearted movie to watch. I had a laughing good time in the cinema watching. However, I am curious to why Leehom has not participated in most of Little Big Soldier promotion activities. Regards, Jayne Ng (Malaysia)

Iti imaginezi ceva luminos. Stai turceste sau cu picioarele sub tine, indoite, palmele in sus, un deget tinut, aratatorul de degetul mare si restul libere, ochii inchisi. Respiratia, linistita, nazala. In meditatie, conteaza foarte mult, atentia.
