Everett Collection The plan was simple, if audacious. Max Huang had prepared a showreel, traveled to a Berlin red carpet, and waited six hours for Jackie Chan to arrive. Chan, surrounded by bodyguards, was unreachable. So when Jaden Smith wandered over to sign autographs, Huang handed the reel to him instead.
A month later, he got an email from Jackie Chan.
“I think the way I got into the Jackie Chan Stunt Team was a miracle,” Huang says. The timing was almost absurd – Huang had just arrived in Shanghai to study martial arts at the Sports University when the message came. A few days later he was on his first film, “Chinese Zodiac,” starting at the very bottom of the team’s hierarchy.
