, many domestic blockbusters have appeared one after another, but the box office results were almost all misfired, and very few movies such as "Manslaughter" received the box office. A lot of blockbusters have been released in December, but they still haven't been able to bring Hokage City. It seems that it will be until this Friday's super blockbuster "Ip Man 4" to detonate the box office market. The series has been filmed for 10 years. After the first film came out in 2008, the fourth film has finally come to an end.
"Ip Man 4" continues to be built with the original crew, directed by Ye Weixin, producer and starring by Donnie Yen, starring Wu Yue, Wu Jianhao, Scott Atkins, Zheng Zeshi, Chen Guokun, etc. The film tells that Ye Man, who came to Chinatown in the United States for some reason, was accidentally involved in a dispute between the local military forces and the Chinese martial arts gym. Faced with increasingly rampant ethnic discrimination and oppression, Ye Man stepped forward to the US Marine Corps barracks. Desperate battle, with authentic Wing Chun, proved to the world Chinese Kung Fu.
A few days ago, Donnie Yen appeared in Singapore to promote "Ip Man 4". The crowd was so popular at the scene. According to statistics, 5000 fans came to support "Master Ye". The film's influence in the Mainland is relatively modest, but it is very popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and it is most appropriate to describe it as a hard-to-find ticket. It also broke the historical box office record of Chinese movies in Malaysia. Donnie Yen made his debut very early. He was praised by Yuan Jiaban in the 1980s, but in the 1980s and 1990s was the heyday of Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s two superstars, so his brilliance has been suppressed.
Yen Zidan's film career is almost always shooting kung fu movies and action movies. He is now completely injured. He has publicly stated on many occasions that he will no longer make kung fu movies after "Ip Man 4". Although movie fans are very unwilling to give up, they can understand. After all, at the age of 56 years old, shooting kung fu movies is very exhausting and I can't bear it. Donnie Yen was also given the nickname "The Strongest in the Universe" by the media, but age is something that everyone has to face. He should also let the young people take the banner of kung fu movies.
When asked that "Ip Man 4" will be the curtain call for Donnie Yen's Kung Fu film, Huang Baiming, the owner of the series, confirmed the news: "Yes, he said he would no longer make Kung Fu movies." In an interview, Huang Baiming spoke highly of Donnie Yen’s contribution to this series. He played the role of "Ye Wen" to the fullest. Finally Huang Baiming joked: "He doesn't make kung fu, but he can make action movies"!
According to Huang Baiming’s information, Donnie Yen is just no longer making traditional martial arts kung fu movies, not completely out of action movies. In fact, Donnie Yen also knows his own position. He certainly doesn't have much market for making other types of movies. The movies after him are at most reducing the action scenes, so fans should not worry too much. Jackie Chan can still play at 65, let alone. It's the younger Donnie Yen.
"Ip Man 4" will be released in mainland China on December 20, and it will start in a few days. Are fans so excited that they can't wait? The quality of the series has always been guaranteed, and the box office should be able to explode by then. Investor Huang Baiming has a very good outlook at the box office. The first two parts of the series suffered a little loss in the mainland. At that time, the mainland market had not yet risen. It was not as popular as it is now. The third part of the whole series sold 770 million yuan, and now the fourth part is coming to an end. Not much at the box office.
"Ip Man 4" is coming to an end. While looking forward to the excitement, but also a little bit reluctant, brother Jet Li has faded out of the movie world, and traditional kung fu movies are about to "extinct". Of course Zhang Jin, Wu Jing, Zhao Wenzhuo and others can also shoot, but the quality of the works they shoot is still far from the predecessors. Everybody's familiar Kung Fu stars are getting old, and the younger generation can't bear the banner. In a short time, Kung Fu movies will not rise.
"Ip Man 4" is the curtain call of Donnie Yen's Kung Fu movie, Huang Baiming: He can still make action movies! Donnie Yen is actually more suitable for mixed martial arts movies. His early action blockbusters such as "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Fuse" are still being talked about by movie fans. Donnie Yen has suffered many injuries in filming for many years, but he has maintained a good physical condition. He looks the youngest among the established action stars. Donnie Yen is a late bloomer in the film world, will you go to the closing episode to be released? Comments are welcome!
