"These watches are for you, you can take them back with you, you don't have to bring them. ”
Jackie Chan replied with a smile: "No problem, seven days a week, I will bring one every day." On the set, a young subordinate saw the watch on Jackie Chan's wrist and couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother, the watch on your wrist is really beautiful!" ”
Jackie Chan looked proud: "Of course, this is the Rolex I bought new yesterday." The subordinates nodded again and again, expressing great envy: "Big brother, you can buy a watch like Rolex casually." ”
Jackie Chan smiled slightly, then took off the watch in his hand and handed it to his subordinates: "This watch is given to you." ”
Jackie Chan's boldness and generosity are really breathtaking. He said that he still has more than 20 such watches at home, and he can find one to wear at any time, which shows how generous he is.
Not only that, he is also very generous to his younger brothers, and every time he finishes filming, he will take them out for recreation, whether it is KTV, karaoke, ** or a big hotel, he will not be merciless when he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.
It is said that in the 90s, he spent more than 10 million a year on dinner, which is really a lot of money!
Jackie Chan's generosity was mistaken for him as a "wronged leader". In 1985, Jackie Chan's father Fang Daolong returned to the mainland from abroad to find relatives, and after many coordination, Fang Daolong finally met his two sons, Fang Shide and Fang Shisheng, who are the children of Fang Daolong and his first wife.
Later, for some reasons, Fang Daolong went to Taiwan, and the two children were left in their hometown in Anhui. And Fang Daolong reorganized his family in Taiwan and had Jackie Chan. Therefore, Fang Shide and Fang Shisheng are actually Jackie Chan's half-brothers.
Fang Daolong did not reveal this secret to Jackie Chan, because Jackie Chan is already a high-profile star. Such a background may have an impact on his career. Fang Daolong just told Jackie Chan that they had found the root cause, and it was in their hometown in Wuhu, Anhui Province.
This return home gave Fang Daolong the idea of returning to China to settle down. Jackie Chan was very filial, so he began to consider buying property in the mainland, and became interested in ancient architecture, and he bought many ancient houses in Anhui.
After knowing about Jackie Chan, a black-hearted intermediary in Beijing tricked Jackie Chan into buying 8 sets of courtyard houses with a ** of 480,000 yuan each, spending a total of about 4 million, and Jackie Chan was very happy at that time.
As soon as you step into this so-called home, you already know that you have fallen into a trap, and life without heating and water is extremely inconvenient. Especially in the cold winter, when I want to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I have to grope in the long street to find a public toilet, which is so cold that people shiver.
At that time, friends who learned about Jackie Chan laughed at him and spent 4 million to buy a bunch of ruins, which was better than buying a yacht.
Despite the ridicule of his friends, Jackie Chan still insisted on himself. Not only did he have deep pockets, but he also had a passion for ancient architecture. In addition to his collection in Beijing, he also acquired ancient buildings from Hong Kong and Anhui.
In 2013, Jackie Chan donated four of his treasured buildings to Singapore for free, a move that sparked widespread discussion. Why, why can't these cultural treasures be left in China instead of gifted to Singapore?
According to people familiar with the matter, as early as 2002, Jackie Chan approached the relevant departments in Hong Kong, hoping to donate his collection of ancient buildings to Hong Kong. However, after expert evaluation, it was found that the components of these ancient buildings were dismantled from the original site of Huizhou, and if they could not be rebuilt on the original site, then these donated ancient buildings would lose their original meaning.
Therefore, the relevant parties finally decided not to accept Jackie Chan's donation.
After learning of this, the wife of the Prime Minister of Singapore approached Jackie Chan and put forward a proposal for rebuilding in Singapore, and gave a sincere reconstruction plan. The Singapore side was not only willing to fund the repair and restoration, but also provided detailed plans for brain scan archiving, transportation and maintenance, etc., and finally moved Jackie Chan to decide to donate the building to Singapore.
Jackie Chan did not buy the Beijing Courtyard House to make money, but by coincidence, the value of the Courtyard rose sharply after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and the Courtyard House in a good location was even as high as more than one billion yuan, such as the valuation of the Heshen Courtyard has reached 60 billion.
Jackie Chan's eight courtyard houses have increased rapidly, and although one of them is inconspicuous, its valuation has exceeded the billion mark. But instead of using this wealth, he chose a more meaningful use.
In 2009, he generously donated one of the quadrangle houses to the state to help finance the South Pavilion of the Forbidden City Museum in China, a move that won widespread praise from all walks of life.
For the rest of the courtyards, Jackie Chan has undergone innovative transformation, which not only retains the traditional charm of the courtyards, but also adds convenience and comfort to modern life. One of the courtyard houses has been turned into a clubhouse, so that more people have the opportunity to understand and appreciate the courtyard culture.
Jackie Chan likes to collect all kinds of antiques, and most of his courtyard houses have been transformed into "collection rooms", which display a variety of porcelain, clay pots, costumes and tools, etc., and the collection is rich and varied, and is said to be worth billions.
Once, Jackie Chan invited Mr. Ma Weidu to visit his museum, but after reading it, Ma Weidu unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jackie Chan's taste in collecting, and even said: "You don't know how to collect, a room of tatters, don't give it to me for nothing." ”
Although Jackie Chan was deceived again, since then, he has begun to actively learn antique knowledge, and even sincerely asked Ma Weidu for advice. He progressed very quickly and later did collect many precious antiques.
Jackie Chan doesn't just pursue elegance, but genuinely wants to do something meaningful. As he learned more about antique culture, his heartache intensified because our country had lost so many precious antiques.
This group of people plundered our national treasure and brazenly said that they were keeping it for us, which made Jackie Chan very indignant and directly pointed out that this was a shameful act. Therefore, Jackie Chan filmed the movie "Zodiac", which received a huge response after its release, and the Pinault family, the fifth richest man in France, decided to return the rabbit and snake heads to China free of charge.
When he was young, Jackie Chan was a profligate and tasted pleasure. Now, for Jackie Chan, money is no longer important, whether it is 500,000 or 50 million in Beijing Courtyard House, it has no meaning to him, because he has found a higher pursuit and value in life.
