On March 21, 2018, Jackie Chan was in Hong Kong for the “Association for Betterment of Hong Kong’s Entertainment Industry in Mainland China” press conference, announcing the official establishment of the association to help artists in Hong Kong and Macau lobby for more opportunities in Mainland China’s Entertainment industry.
Members of the association include Jackie Chan, Liza Wang, Alan Tam, Eric Tsang, Louis Koo, Nicholas Tse, Andrew Lau, Warren Mok, Wong Cho-lam and others.
Jackie expressed that he spent over 20 years to establish the China Stuntmen Association so that stuntmen working in Mainland China had a place they could call “home”, and also production companies all over the world had a place where they could find quality stuntmen. Jackie also hopes that the establishment of this new association can help future generations and produce more opportunities for artists to participate in productions made in Mainland China.
