THE TRAGIC STORY OF JACKIE CHAN'S SON!

jackie chan is definitely one of the most famous and appreciated actors on the planet but if everyone knows the incorrigible jackie we know very little about his family and especially about his eldest son j.c chan for those who know him the latter is a little-known chinese pop singer who still can't break through and who has suffered a veritable descent into hell in recent years between a critical and commercial fiasco and a stay in prison jc's life is at the antipodes of the one led by his famous father but how is it that j.c chan could not succeed in following in the footsteps of his father who succeeded in everything or almost everything and who juggles between money and success and what kind of relationship exists between the two men so make yourself comfortable that's what we're going to find out in today's video the reason why jackie chan speaks so little about his oldest son jc is because of the tumultuous relationship that has almost always united them and to understand why you have to go back a bit in time to when jc was still a teenager in the upscale suburbs of los angeles california the young boy was born and raised in luxury and since he is an only child and has star parents it can really be said that he was greatly spoiled by them and especially by his mother the former taiwanese actress joan lin who married jackie chan in 1983 and gave birth to their son in 1984. the young woman is thus in the care of his beloved child to whom she cannot refuse anything which has the gift of secretly irritating his great actor father jackie chan indeed had a very precarious childhood and had to get out of misery by his own means working very hard and giving himself no relief jackie certainly doesn't want his only son to endure the torments of destitution as he did at his age but he does want to instill in him a sense of values and respect for work but little jc is obviously of a different temperament since he shows from a very young age a very marked inclination for luxury and late outings with friends the young boy's whims will become much worse when he reaches the ungrateful age of adolescence jc's passion for luxury cars and nightclubbing was a passion that he would indulge in all sorts of excesses while spending his father's money like crazy by the way if you like this video don't forget to give us a like subscribe to the channel and activate the bell to receive all notifications let's go again his nightlife and poor hygiene soon affected his school life and littlejc ended up turning away from his studies for good he left the prestigious college of william and mary in williamsburg after only two semesters of unjustified absences this decision to stop his studies was very badly received by jc's parents who like all parents dreamed of an excellent academic career for their son but their son didn't care and to avoid having to listen to his mother's bullying jc decided to fly to hong kong where he wanted to start a musical career thus far from his parents and the control they had had over him until now he can truly emancipate himself to find the path to fame and fortune just like his father a few decades earlier at least that's what he thinks by moving to hong kong in 2003 jc sincerely believes that he can break into canterpop a musical genre that mixes western pop with traditional chinese music he fell in love with this musical genre which is very popular in hong kong when he visited the asian megalopolis as a child j.c therefore composed his first cantapop album in 2004 entitled simply jc for which he himself wrote most of the lyrics but despite the impressive marketing campaign surrounding the release of this album it was not very well received by the public this first failure both with the public and commercially will soon be followed by several other flops in jc chan's budding career indeed the latter has decided to go into a film to boost his popularity with the public this is indeed what his father did in the 1980s since the great jackie chan is also a singer who has already released 20 albums that he composed himself because in hong kong film and music are two almost inseparable twin arts and any good actor who respects himself must have very good vocal cords but unfortunately will not have the same cinematic success as his famous father and most of the films he makes have not been well received by the critics in fact he will very rarely have the lead roles in the films in question which doesn't really help to credit him with the audience as the son of one of hong kong's most beloved stars jc may have a small amount of public sympathy from the outset but at the same time he has to work harder to truly earn his esteem before continuing it is time to answer the question of the day and today it is about general culture j.c chan is a singer above all but how many albums did he produce between the beginning of his career and his decline is it option a three albums option b six albums or option c eight albums think carefully and write what you think is the right answer in the comments answer just before the end of the video to attract the good favors of the hong kong and chinese public jc even goes so far as to relinquish his american nationality in favor of chinese citizenship this act which in his opinion demonstrates his high degree of patriotism was to be enough to restore his image in hong kong and bring spectators to the darkened halls for his premieres but it must be said that the romantic dramatic and comedy registers in which the young man launches himself do not have many followers in the chinese megalopolis the hong kong people prefer kung fu films and action comedies which was exactly the recipe for his father jackie chan success jc's feature films continue to garner critical and commercial flops his film double trouble released in 2012 for example only brought in nine thousand dollars in box office receipts in hong kong and no more than forty five thousand dollars in the united states his films are so bad in reality that the chinese government had to issue a mandate requiring them to be played in only half of the country's cinemas despite this obligation these turnips interest no one and almost always show disastrous box office figures jc is therefore wiping the most bitter artistic failures from all sides despite all the support he receives from his father and his show business connections the young man who wanted to seduce the chinese public was finally perceived by the latter as a vulgar playboy who spent a lot of money and had no talent except for being jackie chan's son aware of this fact and determined to motivate his son the latter will even go so far as to disinherit him in public jackie chan has stated that he will bequeath his money to charity rather than to his son because if he is not able to make a fortune on his own he will only waste his own it must also be said that the great actor had worked particularly hard for most of his life and therefore looked unfavorably in his son's wastefulness as he did not know the value of hard-earned money jc on the other hand does not see things the same way and his attraction to festive and luxurious evenings has not diminished at all despite his father's severe reprimands his excessive nightlife and excessive lifestyle soon created other problems much more serious this time and which caused an almost insurmountable shock in the chan family indeed on august 14 2014 jc was arrested at his home by the beijing police alongside his friend the taiwanese actor kaiko the two young men are charged with drug possession and a thorough search of the apartment led the police to find more than 85 grams of marijuana at the time of his arrest jc's whole world seems to be about to come crashing down around him as he knows he's at great risk the people's republic of china has zero tolerance for drugs in an attempt to curb the scourge of society and to effectively fight against its trafficking the chinese judicial system applies the heaviest punishments even going as far as the death penalty or life imprisonment while his friend taiwanese actor kaiko is finally released by the police after two weeks jc faces very serious legal charges jackie chan's son is charged not only for possession and use of drugs but also for harboring others for the purpose of consumption these offences which are very serious in china are likely to send you straight to the firing squad or at least to be buried alive in a squalid prison in mongolia where there is no hope of ever getting out jc will spend the longest and most torches hours of his life awaiting trial all the more so since he cannot really count on his father because jackie chan had repeated to anyone who would listen that he would never use his connections to lighten his son's sentence no matter how serious it may be poor jaycee's parents were actually so disappointed and upset by their son that they did not even attend his hearing his trial began on january 9 2015 in beijing after he spent the equivalent of 148 days in detention jc was finally sentenced to six months in prison and fined 2 000 yuan or about 320 compared to the maximum sentences he was facing this sentence was providential to say the least especially since jc had already served more than four months of the six months in question but this did not change the fact that the conditions of imprisonment were particularly harsh and as he had promised jackie chan did nothing to help his young son the great actor had not called upon any of his high-ranking acquaintances to try to make his son stay in prison more clement and comfortable after serving his full sentence and paying his fine jaycee was finally released on february 13 2015 and moved to live with his mother in taipei jc has matured significantly and has been keeping a low profile since his release from prison far from the hectic parties and nightlife of yesteryear he has apologized publicly and repeatedly for violating chinese law by using drugs and setting a bad example for his audience jc's desire to return to his artistic career has been stifled forever by his incarceration and in hong kong where his career is already on the wane no producer wants to work with him anymore lost by the public and professionals in the industry jc finally returns to the united states which he probably never should have left his absent subscriber talent and his blatant lack of charisma at the opposite extreme from his father did not open the way to success for him but even though you may be the child of one of the biggest stars on the planet you don't necessarily inherit his fame and celebrity or his money for that matter so what do you think of the tragic destiny of j.c chan the son of the great and irreplaceable jackie chan who obviously couldn't follow in the footsteps of his beloved father give us your feeling in the comments otherwise for the answer to the quiz it's the answer a since jc will have produced only three albums so far very far from the 20 albums of music produced by his father jackie i hope that many of you have found the answer [Music] you
