Jackie's Jet to Appear in Singapore Airshow

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:48:00 +0000

In its first public appearance since delivery to the international movie star, Jackie Chan’s Legacy 650 will make its debut at the 2012 Singapore Airshow, which takes place from 14 – 19 February 2012.

Identified by its distinctive ‘Dragon’ livery, Embraer Executive Jets’ brand ambassador’s ‘ideal business partner’ is also the first Legacy 650 to be displayed at the Singapore Airshow.

Having only entered into service in 2010, the Legacy 650’s advanced technology, outstanding performance and intelligent luxury, have made it an award winning jet. It was crowned “Best of the Best” in the large executive jet category by Robb Report China Edition in 2011, and in 2012 was named “Best of the Best” by the Hurun report, one of the most widely recognized indices tracking the rapid growth of China’s high-net-worth individuals.

The Legacy 650 is the latest offering in the portfolio of Executive Jets by Embraer, and part of the Legacy 600/650 program which, to date, has seen 200 units in service worldwide.

Since the entry into service of the first Legacy in Macau SAR in 2004, 18 Legacy 600/650's have been delivered and are currently in service in Asia Pacific. Most recently, 13 Legacy 650s were ordered by China’s Minsheng Financial Leasing Co, Ltd, one of the country’s leading executive jet leasing companies.

Embraer Executive Jets is now recognized as one of the top brands in the world’s business aviation market, after a decade of relentless effort since entering this market segment in 2001. Embraer is the world’s only manufacturer offering a full line of executive jets, from entry level to ultra-large aircraft, which are well received by customers, worldwide.

About the Legacy 650

With three spacious and distinct cabin zones to accommodate up to 14 passengers, the Legacy 650 is the only jet in its class with this level of comfort. Advanced Wi-Fi technology and significantly reduced cabin noise means the Legacy 650 ensures an environment in which passengers can work or rest. It includes a fully equipped wet galley and the largest in-flight accessible baggage compartment, something Embraer is known for. The Legacy 650 range is 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 kilometers) affording such nonstop distances as Beijing to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Hong Kong to Adelaide (Australia). Its state-of-the-art cockpit includes the Honeywell Primus Elite™ avionics suite, greatly reducing the pilot workload and enhancing safety.

Wandering around town
You were crying alone.

Like a migratory bird which doesn't have sky to go back
Because of the pain of love which others don't know.

My dear, don't cry, sleep in my arms.
I'll sink your broken watch into the sea at night.

My dear, give your injured love wings a rest.
The sadness will change into love when you fly.

When you are sad remember me
I'm always looking at you.

So forget your sad love
Like a migratory bird which is flying between dreams.

My dear, close your eyes, sleep in my arms.
I'll sink the music box which don't make sound into sand at night.

My dear, when you meet someone who can truly love to each other,
The sadness will change into love.

Dear person, give your injured love of wings rest.
You again fly when the sadness love into change will.

Jackie Heads to Brazil for Embraer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:36:00 +0000

Jackie heads to Brazil to collect his jet and film commercials for Embraer.

Sao Paulo, Feb. 1 (CNA) Hong Kong-born actor Jackie Chan is scheduled to arrive in Brazil Friday to visit Brazilian aerospace conglomerate Embraer's headquarters in the science city of Sao Jose dos Campos, corporate sources said Wednesday.

Betting on his popularity and influence in the Chinese-speaking world, Embraer has hired Chan to help promote its commercial aircraft in Asia, particularly in China.

During his visit, Chan will model in photoshoots and act in commercials for Embraer, the world's fourth-largest aircraft company.

Chan will then leave Brazil aboard his newly procured Embraer 14-seater Legacy 650 jet worth US$30 million. According to media reports, Chan has learned basic flying skills in China, but cannot fly a plane on his own.

Embraer Chairman Frederico Curado said the company hopes Chan's endorsement will help more Asian people come to understand its products.

Noting that China has emerged as the world's second-largest economy, Curado said China's commercial aircraft market is estimated to be worth US$21 billion over the coming decade.

Frankie Chan while filming Chinese Zodiac

Because Jackie has been working quite closely with Frankie Chan recently and because I came across this information which quite surprised me I thought I would share it with you and learn more about Frankie and Jackie's long association going right back to the early days.

All in all, Frankie Chan and Jackie Chan's origins deal, Frankie Chan's first starring work, "Shuāng Bǎo Chuǎng Bā Guān" was produced by Golden Harvest, so they are also considered to be out of the same company. His second film, was directed by Sammo Hung. Since his performance in “bàijiā zǐ”, once again with Sammo Hung, Frankie and Jackie Chan are also considered to have a friendship. From "Dragon Master" onwards Frankie Chan received many invitations to work with Jackie Chan as executive director, action director and co-director in films such as: "Operation Condor," "Drunken Master 2", "Thunderbolt " , " Gorgeous " , "Rush Hour" and so on.

FRANKIE CHAN IMDB

From IMDB we can see that Frankie was the composer on movies such as "Master with Cracked Fingers" (1971) and "Spiritual Kungfu" (1978) . He was second unit director on "Operation Condor" (1991) and was the stunt co-ordinator for "Thunderbolt" (1995). Clearly Jackie and Frankie have known each other and worked together for a long time.

With this history I have high hopes for their association on Armour of God 3 - Chinese Zodiac.

Jackie Chan Special Edition Mitsubishi Evo's

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:51:00 +0000

● Fire Sports EVO 8 MR

The Evo8 has a 4G63 classic red top engine through Ralliart ( Mitsubishi Queen conversion brand "pull art") is further enhanced, making the power output more sensitive, this EVO 8 greatly enhanced the power ratio, maintaining a good dynamic response at low speed so that the car is more suitable for city roads.

经典的4G63红顶发动机经过了Ralliart（三菱御用改装品牌“拉力艺”）的进一步强化，使得动力输出更为灵敏，这款EVO 8代半并没有采用一般改装厂较为普遍的将动力大幅提升的方案，保持良好的低转速动力响应让该车更适合游走在城市道路中。

● Fire Sports EVO 9

Shortly after the launch of the Fire Sports EVO 8 MR Jackie Chan, Jackie and the company co- launched the more exaggerated EVO 9 with a limited edition model. The car also uses a lot of carbon fiber modifications. A total of 50 limited edition cars were made. Fans will be swept away, proving Big Brother's appeal and influence.

在Fire Sports EVO 8 MR成龙版推出不久后，成龙大哥又与该公司合作推出了外观更为夸张的EVO 9代限量版车型，该车同样使用了大量的碳纤维外观套件，定价为60万港币，香港只有10台的限额。该车总共限量50台，一经推出便被车迷与影迷们一扫而空，足以见得大哥的号召力与影响力。

As typical performance cars, regardless of official or unofficial modifications, EVO's have a long list of outstanding cars. Compared to these the Jackie Chan EVO 9 does not have outstanding performance and perhaps can not be described as having the most elegant design. But it is undeniable that Jackie spares no effort to use his reputation in the international arena to promote Chinese Culture. Usually when seen in public, almost without exception, Jackie dresses in Chinese clothes. Going back to cars this limited edition EVO proves this point by using the Dragon Logo throughout.

作为一款地道的性能车型，无论改装品牌的的官方版本，还是出自民间的改装作品，历代EVO都有着不胜枚举的出色作品，相比之下，大哥推出的龙版车型虽然在性能上并不突出，又或许在外观设计上称不上最为专业考究。但无可否认的一点是成龙大哥不遗余力地用自己在国际上的知名度来帮助推广中国文化。通常在公众场合中见到的成龙，几乎都无一例外的身着一身唐装出席。而说回汽车，这款限量版EVO遍布全车的龙字LOGO也足以印证了这一点。

● Jackie Chan and Mitsubishi

In Jackie Chan films you often see different models of Mitsubishi cars. In 1980, Jackie starred in his first American film driving a Mitsubishi. Jackie and Mitsubishi have had an onscreen partnership which has lasted a full 31 years. From 1980 when Jackie drove a Mitsubishi in the movie "Cannonball Run" , Chan has maintained an 'initimate contact' with Mitsubishi. Jackie Chan has often said: " Mitsubishi cars are my old friend. It gives me confidence. "

在成龙的影片中，经常能见到各种款式三菱车的身影，1980年成龙在其第一部主演的美国影片中驾驶三菱车出现在银幕中，到今年已经整整31年了。从二十多年前在电影《炮弹飞车》里使用了三菱汽车后，成龙就一直保持着与三菱汽车长期的“亲密接触”。成龙经常说：“ 三菱汽车是我的老朋友，它给予我信心，是我的知己。”

The cooperation between Jackie Chan and Mitsubishi is not only a commercial partner, the two sides of the partnership have been elevated to the bonds of friendship between old friends. Jackie often said that regardless of when and where, as long as Mitsubishi needs him, he will be there. Especially when the Mitsubishi Dakar Rally team made seven consecutive years, he said: "I'm really excited! Rally driver technology really is a must when the team made the championship, I really am so happy. I am more pleased that Mitsubishi vehicles have won the championship at the Dakar Rally technologies into China and for China to develop many good drivers in China. "

在成龙看来，和三菱汽车的合作不仅是商业上的伙伴，双方的合作已经升华为老朋友之间的情义。他常说，自己好像是三菱汽车的一员，不论何时何地，只要有三菱汽车的活动就会关注。特别当三菱车队在达喀尔拉力赛上取得七连冠时，他感慨道：“真的是让人振奋。拉力车手的驾车技术真的是堪称一绝。当车队取得冠军时，我真的是太高兴了。让我感到更高兴的是，三菱汽车已将在达喀尔拉力赛中赢取冠军的技术投入中国，并为中国培养着许多出色的中国车手。”

Jackie Chan has had a keen racing career, and actively participates in various racing events. In the 1980s Mitsubishi held the same type of race as the annual Macau race named after Jackie Chan as the "Jackie Chan Prize Cup" But to Jackie's regret he was not personally allowed to participate in the races. (Jackie's worth was too high and the insurance company would not allow Jackie Chan to personally participate in the competition). To make up for this regret, he specifically wrote and filmed "Thunderbolt "

热心于赛车事业的成龙，积极参与各类赛车活动。上世纪80年代的澳门最优秀奖的辅助赛事中，三菱同一型号比赛，就出现以成龙来命名的“成龙优胜奖”。但是让成龙感到遗憾的是，自己无法亲自下赛场参赛（成龙大哥的身价过高，保险公司不允许成龙亲自下场参加比赛），为弥补这一遗憾，他特别编剧并拍摄了《霹雳火》。
