In order to make this movie well, Jackie Chan has been preparing for seven years and invested 300 million in production fees. Why did Jackie Chan shoot this movie? All of this starts with the auction of the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac signs.

At that time, there were very few Chinese people paying attention to it, and the auction price was only about US$1,500.

In order to avoid the loss of cultural relics, my country's central enterprise Poly Company won bronze statues of cow heads, tiger heads and monkey heads for HK$7.745 million, 15.445 million and 8.185 million respectively, and are now stored in Poly Art Museum . From this time on, the price of the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac signs began to rise all the way, and it was obvious that foreigners began to make money by using our national sentiment.
If we Chinese people spend money to take the bronze heads themselves, this will undoubtedly encourage this behavior, but if we don’t participate in the auction, we can’t bear to see the cultural relics wandering outside. In 2003, the pig head was auctioned again in Hong Kong. Finally, it was successfully auctioned by the famous entrepreneur Mr. Ho Hong-Hong- and donated it to the Poly Museum of Art for collection.

At this time, Jackie Chan wanted to make an educational movie, in order to tell the people of the country to protect and promote the precious cultural relics left by our ancestors to us. Therefore, at the beginning of the movie "The Twelve Zodiacs", there was a scene where the dragon head failed to sell , in order to tell everyone not to participate in the auction.

It took three years to produce twelve sets, each of which cost more than one million. After the filming of the movie, Jackie Chan generously took out several sets to donate them to museums in China.
