On July 27, 2008, Jackie Chan formally accepted a disciple for the first time. The honor was bestowed upon Jack Tu, who won the position from a pool of 100,000 applicants in a highly-publicized worldwide search in an immensely popular Chinese reality show, Jackie Chan’s The Disciple. The show was a joint production by China's BTV, Jackie Chan Film Corporation, China Film Group Corporation and Emperor Group.

Join Jack Tu and his family for a meet-and-greet, along with a private screening of the finale episode of The Disciple. Jack will speak on his experiences during the contest and will be available for interviews and photos. Jack returns to China the following day to begin his tutelage under Jackie Chan, starting with filming his debut movie, Speedpost 206. He is already contracted for two others, Won’t Tell You and Tropical Tornado.
