Jackie Chan's latest work 'Shadows Edge' has recorded the number one box office ranking in China for four consecutive weeks and has surpassed 1.2 billion yuan (about 25 billion yen) in about a month since its release, showing enthusiastic excitement. It will be released nationwide on December 12 (Friday) at Shinjuku Wald 9 and other locations. The setting is Macau. Behind the glamorous city, an unidentified cybercrime group is secretly active. The police are helpless, and the last trump card called back is the tracking expert Huang Dezhong (Jackie Chan). Although he has already retired, he teams up with young elites and uses the latest technology and old-fashioned investigation techniques to chase the 'shadow' of the crime group. The star is Jackie Chan, a legend in the action movie world who also works in Hollywood. He challenges the crackdown on the cybercrime group alongside a young detective team as a former Macau police tracking expert. The role of the former assassin and leader of the crime group is played by Leon Lai, who reunites with Jackie for the first time in about 20 years since 'THE MYTH.' Among the core members of the crime group is Jun from the globally popular K-POP group SEVENTEEN, who takes on his first villain role and showcases splendid action. Other young Chinese stars include Chang Tzu-feng from 'Sister: Summer's Farewell' and Tu Sha from 'The Shadow of the Mountains and the King's Conspiracy.' The director is Larry Yang, who has teamed up with Jackie again after 'Ride On.' He boldly reconstructs the directorial debut of Yau Nai-hoi, who has worked on many scripts for the masterpieces of Hong Kong director Johnny To, 'Angel's Eye, Beast's City' (07), inheriting the core setting of the original while breathing new life into it as a story of a new era. A message video has arrived for Japanese audiences from Jackie Chan, co-star Leon Lai, Jun, and director Larry Yang, who are eagerly awaiting the Japanese release of this work! Jackie Chan greets in Japanese, 'Hello everyone in Japan, I am Jackie Chan!' and continues, 'The movie 'Shadows Edge' will soon be coming to theaters. I think you will like it. There are lots of action and comedy.' He appeals, 'Don't miss my new movie in theaters!' and finally says, 'Thank you! See you again!' while smiling and waving in Japanese. Leon Lai greets in Japanese with a deep voice reminiscent of his role, 'Hello everyone in Japan,' and says, 'The movie 'Shadows Edge' will soon be released in theaters. Please watch it on the big screen.' Jun says, 'Hello, I am Jun. I play the role of Hu Feng in the upcoming movie 'Shadows Edge.' Please support me! See you in theaters!' with a smile. Lastly, director Larry Yang comments, 'Hello everyone in Japan. The movie 'Shadows Edge' will soon be screened in Japan. It depicts the extreme battle between Jackie Chan's police and Leon Lai's cybercrime group. Please watch it in theaters! Thank you!' Director Larry Yang, who has teamed up with Jackie Chan for the third time (one of which was a short film), asserts, 'The character Huang Dezhong was created with Jackie Chan in mind!' while also being aware of the image of Jackie's representative work 'Police Story,' and says it was a new challenge regarding the theme of 'veteran detectives.' On the other hand, Jackie initially told the director, 'I should not make police movies anymore.' The background is that 'I have played too many police roles so I wouldn't take on a role unless it was something very special.' However, he reflects, 'The director explained this script over and over again. His passion and obsession were like a real veteran police officer, and he understood every detail perfectly. Moved by the director's sincerity and passion, I decided to participate.' Although he appears to be a veteran detective with seemingly outdated technology, he brilliantly portrays Huang Dezhong, who relies on experience and intuition to successfully carry out missions in critical situations. This is sure to ignite the hearts of viewers as Jackie Chan himself breaks through the 'legend' and reaches a new 'legend.' Don't miss it on the theater screen. ■ Work Overview 'Shadows Edge' will be released nationwide on December 12 (Friday) at Shinjuku Wald 9 and other locations.
