Jackie Chan's latest action movie called Legend was originally scheduled to be released on July 12, but the film had to hit theaters earlier than expected.

The reason is that the revenue from the early screening was only more than 1.8 million yuan after more than 13 hours, the cumulative revenue reached about 36 million yuan after a week of screening, the screening schedule given by the theaters only accounted for 12.1%, on par with Ngang Qua Town of Thousand Clouds starring Chau Ye and Peng Duc Suong.

It can be said that those are sad and modest numbers if compared to the popularity and influence of a veteran actor like Jackie Chan. Sohu said that the film will bear a loss of more than 330 million yuan (about more than 1100 billion VND).

According to the audience's comments, Legend has outdated content because it is the same as Mythology 19 years ago, while the audience's tastes have changed a lot and it is no longer suitable for the times. It is worth mentioning that this film is promoted by the producer as the first theatrical film in the world with the participation of actors created by AI.

Legend is invested in production at a high cost, the lineup includes stars such as Truong Nghe Hung, Co Luc Na Trat, Ly Than, Ly Tri Dinh, the screenwriter is taken by Duong Quy Le. Legend is the second part of Mythology, a film that caused a box office fever in 2005 starring Jackie Chan and the famous beauty Kim Hee Sun.

The legend tells the story of an archaeologist who often dreams of fantastical dreams, in which the main character is a young general (Truong Nghe Hung) who falls in love with a beautiful princess (Co Luc Na Trat). In this film, Jackie Chan still takes on the main role, with scenes that need to be used to be more realistic, he does not use stuntmen, but in the film, Bona Pictures used AI technology to restore 27-year-old Jackie Chan and occupy more than 70% of the film's duration.

However, it seems that this application does not bring any breakthrough because Jackie Chan's youthful face uses AI effects to create too badly, unnatural expressions. A netizen commented: "I'm a loyal fan of Jackie Chan, but using this AI artificial intelligence technology makes me feel like I'm watching a character in the game, I want to see Jackie Chan's own branded actions."

Some viewers went to the early screening to evaluate Jackie Chan's new film, making them unable to focus on the content, because the actor's face was too strange. In fact, Jackie Chan applies AI face-changing technology in two ways. First, he helped himself to rejuvenate. In addition, in some action scenes, young actor Trinh Nghiep Thanh, who is a stuntman for Jackie Chan, has now turned 70 years old and cannot act in adventurous martial arts scenes. Therefore, the face of the character is sometimes the old Jackie Chan, sometimes the younger Jackie Chan, and sometimes Trinh Nghiep Thanh.

The constant change of faces caused the film to stumble on a lot of post-production errors. In a continuous scene, Jackie Chan's face with characteristic short eyebrows appeared, then Trinh Nghiep Thanh with carefully trimmed thick eyebrows. Or in another scene, the character is in a dangerous combat situation but has an incomprehensible smile.

Many viewers expressed regret, saying that if Jackie Chan only played the role of producer, let the young actors express themselves, maybe the film would be more successful.

With consecutive failures at the box office, Jackie Chan not only suffered economic losses but also gradually lost attraction to the public. He was labeled the "king of junk movies". Many people bluntly advised him to retire, focus on fostering young talents instead of stubbornly continuing to make films.
