The earliest established Shanghai Xie Jin Hengtong Star School (founded in 1993 and renamed as Xie Jin Film and Television Art College of Shanghai Normal University in 2000) was headed by Xie Jin, a national first-class director. At the same time, in 2000, Zhang Guoli, a famous actor, served as the dean of Meishi Film Academy (the second-level college) of Chongqing University, and in 2005, Zhang Tie-Lin served as the dean of the Art College of Jinan University (the twentieth professional college of the school), but generally they were directly employed, and only a handful of colleges were directly founded by famous actors. Mr. Jackie Chan should be the first one.
Wuhan Institute of Design and Engineering, formerly known as Chutian College of Huazhong Agricultural University, was renamed as its current name on 20 15. As an independent private college, its comprehensive strength is not brilliant, but it can attract Mr. Jackie Chan, who won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, to set up a film and television media college here, and it is the only film and television college he has set up in China, which shows that the school is still very capable. You can always see the words "Jackie Chan Film and Television Media College" in school profile, official website. I wonder how many candidates who love film and television media will apply for this school because of Jackie Chan's fame? After all, Zhang Guoli and Xiaogang Feng are the chief professors of the school, and Xu Fan, Li Bingbing and other famous actors are distinguished professor of the school.
Jackie Chan Film and Television Art College takes high-end art and fashion culture as its original intention, and sets up seven undergraduate majors and two higher vocational majors, including performance, broadcast hosting, film and television photography production and drama performance. At the same time, the Black Box Theater, Jackie Chan Experimental Troupe, professional studios and other institutions were established.
Earlier, Jackie Chan said in public that he didn't want the college he named to be "selling dog meat", hoping to really cultivate high-end talents in the field of film and television media; I hope to exchange students with famous foreign performing arts schools every summer vacation and learn foreign performing arts knowledge; At the same time, he also firmly believes that "studio practice is more important than any theory", so he will arrange professional behind-the-scenes personnel of his own crew, such as production designers and action directors, to teach in the college, and select outstanding students to practice in the crew.
Jackie Chan has starred in more than 50 films so far, with a global box office of more than 25 billion. He won the national Chinese box office champion 17 times and won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in 20 16 years. As an actor, he represents the achievements of Hong Kong films. As the spokesman of China Kung Fu movies, he showed the world the charm of China Kung Fu. As a filmmaker, he enthusiastically cultivated new people and made great contributions to China's films. This time Jackie Chan's Academy of Film and Television Arts is an important link for him as a filmmaker. I hope that more and more outstanding graduates will step onto the stage of film and television performing arts in the future.
