thanks KEY!
by the way is that what he earned in 2009 ONLY?
i guess that is around 3 million u.s.? not bad…..but cant hang with fan bing bing…….
Isn’t Jolin Tsai Taiwanese? Oh,, I see what you did there. Jackie Chan is the most famous living Chinese in the world,,Frankenstein’s monster doesn’t even come close abroad. Basketball isn’t a big sport in Europe, South America, Africa or most of Asia so he is basically only known in China and the US. I know I am a bit off topic based on the guidelines for this list.
I like Donnie Yen,, rising star. I also have a soft spot for Andy Lau (not his crappy music) but I always wondered how he can be so awesome in certain kinds of movies and so ridiculously lousy in others. No love lost for China’s handful of great directors it seems.
Jackie Chan is the most influential name also in Thailand. He is the only truely influential of the world, and i’am thai. my father spotted only Jackie Chan (Chen Long) in China Olympics
挺靠谱的, though I thought that Jet Li would have placed higher
how about shoalin football stephen chow ahhaha
Liu Xiang does not belong there, I can not comprehend why he is still up there after his shameful appearance at the Olympics in 2008. Yes he’s recovered from his injury and is making a comeback, but until he proves he can perform internationally against the big shots of North & South America and remain on top he does not have my approval at being number 9.
The rest of the list seems fair game.
go, andy!
hello all
Jackie Chan is the most influential also in Thailand., and i’am thai. my father spotted only Jackie Chan (Chen Long) in China Olympics
I know Jackie Chan, Yao Ming, Gongli, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lao
