The "Ip Man" series played by Donnie Yen was liked by the audience as soon as it was released. Later everyone knew about the existence of Wing Chun Ip Wen. Later, the fame of Ye Wen in the country began to cross the road. People familiar with Ye Wen knew that Bruce Lee was Ye Wen’s apprentice, and Bruce Lee was very famous in what era, but there are a lot of people about Ye Wen in China and they are very famous. Big, and there is only one TV series about Bruce Lee.
is not the case, there is a misunderstanding here. Bruce Lee became a superstar in the 1970s because of the popularity of Kung Fu movies in the world, and Ip Man was just a master of Kung Fu. At that time, few people knew him, not to mention that his popularity and influence were incomparable to Bruce Lee. But I only knew that Bruce Lee's master was Ye Man. After Bruce Lee's death, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the United States made a lot of movies about Bruce Lee, just because the mainland was in an extraordinary period at that time, and people did not understand the outside world.
A movie about Ip Man only started in 2008. Donnie Yen first filmed "Ip Man 1", which caused a sensation. At that time, many people had no idea about Ip Man, and I don’t know what is sacred. There was even a CCTV host who said in the program He thought that Ye Wen was a fictitious character, and he didn't know that he was really there until the photo of Ye Wen and Bruce Lee appeared at the end of the film. Because of the success of "Ip Man 1", I started to follow suit, and then filming 2, 3, plus the release of films such as "Ip Man's Prequel" and "The Grand Master", it really makes people feel that the subject of Ip Man is very hot.
As for the movies about Bruce Lee, the recent lack of masterpieces, in comparison, seems to be less. Of course, this is just a comparison result over a certain period of time. There are also reasons why Bruce Lee has few movies. Because Bruce Lee’s popularity and influence are too great, the filming will be stressful, the actor’s looks, kung fu, and skill will be picky by the audience, and his life experience is too short, too well-known, the screenwriter will also be under pressure, the story is written If it’s too much, someone will say “exaggerate” or “deify”, and you will be scolded if you are too cautious and conservative, because you will feel uninteresting.
and Ye Wen is different, Ye Wen is not so influential, his true image, his personal experience is not understood by people, you can let the screenwriter let go of writing, the actors let go of acting, now people see Apart from the fact that his name is true, the contents of the several Ye Wencai movies are almost all fictitious, and everyone is not very familiar with the real history of Ye Wen and the lives of the characters. So in terms of content, it just needs to be in line with this role. Wing Chun is because of his skillful kung fu. To a certain extent, shooting Ip Man can promote Chinese martial arts, and it is also a kind of cultural spread.
In short, it is not to say that there are many movies about Ye Wen, and the fame is big. Officially, because the fame is not big, there is more room to play. And Bruce Lee’s too much influence will make the film difficult to make, and it will have a great impact on the film’s production party if it does not produce the results that the audience wants. In addition, there are really too few actors who are similar in appearance and body shape to Bruce Lee, and it is difficult to find an actor, so it is very difficult for the subsequent filming of Bruce Lee's movies.
