Jet Li and Jackie Chan, filmmakers, why haven't they been involved in the TV drama industry?

The reason why Jet Li and Jackie Chan don't choose to make TV series is because the pay is too high. If two people shoot a TV series, it is likely that the cost of the TV series is too high, and it may even be difficult to recover the cost of the TV series. Tv dramas are sold directly to TV stations or online video platforms, and the way of making profits is very limited, and the profitability is much worse than that of movies. So only movies are suitable for international superstars like Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Moreover, Jet Li and Jackie Chan have brought many classic action movies to the audience in recent years, so Jet Li and Jackie Chan will not choose to make TV series to waste their time.

Of course, there is another important reason why two people don't make TV series, because there is a very clear contempt chain in the whole film and television circle. Many people in the industry think that actors who make movies are more advanced than those who make TV series. If Jet Li and Jackie Chan choose to make TV series, they obviously feel condescending, which will also have a certain impact on their identity and status. Of course, we also see that Jet Li and Jackie Chan have made great achievements in the film field, so if they play TV series, their career achievements will not be greatly improved.

In fact, we see that many actors who have made great achievements in the film industry have begun to make a living by making TV dramas. Because not all movie actors can earn a lot of money every year like Jet Li and Jackie Chan, because most movie actors still earn a very low income. In addition, the shooting cycle of movies is shorter than that of TV series, so the film is paid less than that of TV series, which also makes the income and status of many movie actors not as good as we thought.

Of course, we see that Jet Li and Jackie Chan have also started to reduce their shooting plans in the past two years, mainly because they have now turned their identities to the behind-the-scenes production of film and television works. Because I'm getting older, I can't act as many action movies as before, so I also hope that Jet Li and Jackie Chan will have more and more smooth career development in the future.
