The action star has just inked a record-breaking deal to star in a Chinese-language film called The Warlords.
He’ll make $13M for the film, which is, like, Maddox Jolie-Pitt’s lunch money, but it’s the largest sum ever paid to an actor for a Chinese-language film.
The film’s total budget is $40M. “Without Jet Li, we would not dare to invest $40 million in a Chinese-language film,” Xinhua news agency quoted director Peter Chan as saying. Li was a “guarantee” for global sales, Chan said.
(Li actually broke his own record here — he held the existing record for his role in Hero.)
Okay, I’m clearly in the wrong line of work. Someone teach me Chinese and kung fu, stat. Hey, I had a yellow stripe in Tae-Kwon-Do when I was in fourth grade, and I love mu-shu chicken. How hard can the rest of it be?
