Recently, Donnie Yen, who is known as the best hit in the universe, announced when he promoted the film "Ip Man 4 Finals" that he might not play Kung Fu movies in the future.

"Ip Man 4" may be the last Kung Fu movie starring himself. This decision is a big blow to many fans of kung fu movies.

Many people have ignored Donnie Yen’s age. In other words, many of us have deliberately ignored this point, and naively think that Dan Ge, who is incomparably brave in the movie, can still fight for decades. After all, Donnie Yen, born in 1963, is now 56 years old, which is definitely a standard middle-aged uncle.

More than 20 years of action film career, Donnie Yen left countless injuries on his body, injuries are commonplace for him. The vicissitudes of time, no matter how strong a hero is, can't beat the ravages of time. The hero is late, and Donnie Yen’s withdrawal means that there is no one behind the action movie.

Although the domestic film and television industry is booming in recent years. However, action movie actors, this demanding type of acting role, are already facing a dilemma. There are fewer actors who can play or play expressively than pandas.

Donnie Yen once said in an interview: China has many martial arts champions, but not everyone is suitable for performing on the screen. This is a very pertinent and objective evaluation. So who is the most likely successor to take over the mantle of Donnie Yen? Let's do a rough analysis.

is Wu Jing, the younger brother of Donnie Yen. In recent years, with the continuous explosion of the "Wolf Warrior" series. The young boy who used to play in Hong Kong action movies is no longer the original Wu Xia Amon. The identity Wu Jing uses most now is not an actor, but a director.

Wu Jing's hard work is definitely not inferior to Yen Zidan. Compared with Donnie Yen's long-term work in the field of action movies, Wu Jingzhi is expanding more types of movies.

"The Climber" is the best example of this movie that takes into account the main theme and sports style. Wu Jing hopes that people will remember that he is not just an action movie actor, but not a martial arts star who is fixed in the field of action movies. Wu Jing is committed to a diversified development strategy, so Wu Jing's status as a non-action film actor determines that he cannot take the baton from Donnie Yen.

is Zhao Wenzhuo next. In the years when Wu Jing was very diligent, Zhao Wenzhuo was already a long-established action movie superstar.

Since the first-line production of "Huang Feihong King's Wind" in the 1990s, Zhao Wenzhuo has been regarded by the outside world as the predecessor of Donnie Yen-Jet Li's only successor. But after so many years, there is only one word that can describe him now-high driving and low walking.

Zhao Wenzhuo is extremely lack of works that can be shot in the field of kung fu movies. Donnie Yen’s classic masterpieces-Killing the Wolf, Fuse, and Ip Man series are all classics in the field of action movies. These are the fruits of Yen Zidan's consistent adherence to the boutique strategy.

On the other hand, Zhao Wenzhuo, who has been dormant for many years, cooperated with Yuan Heping to create the action movie "Su Qier", which failed miserably at the box office. Zhao Wenzhuo has been unable to get high-quality, large-invested movies for a long time. He could only choose to play TV series, which seriously affected his popularity. This undisciplined attitude of hunger makes his star journey increasingly dim.

The most intensive exposure of Zhao Wenzhuo in recent years was his relationship with Donnie Yen during the shooting of the action film "Special Status". To be remembered by the public in this way is simply the biggest insult to an action movie actor.

​​Compared to Donnie Yen's dedication, Zhao Wenzhuo is obviously inferior by three points. Zhao Wenzhuo once asked the crew to provide a make-up car that Hollywood first-tier stars are eligible to equip when shooting a movie. This kind of big-name treatment has also made many investors shun him. Therefore, disqualification is the best objective evaluation of him.

Next is Wu Yue, who has participated in many big productions in recent years. Although they are all supporting roles, they can be regarded as having gone through a lot of experience. Haven't many big stars started out from the top? So will he become Donnie Yen's successor? The answer to

is difficult. Why do you say that? Wu Yue's performance lacks a strong personal style, that is, lack of expressiveness in action.

oneAn action movie actor must be distinguished from another action movie actor. Donnie Yen’s style is well-known real kung fu-punch to the flesh, strong in actual combat. Jet Li's impression of the audience on the big screen is that his movements are elegant and sharp. So what impression did Wu Yue leave us? Except for the sluggish fist and fist, it is the dull and pale part of literary drama. No characteristic is Wu Yue's greatest characteristic. Therefore, the limitations of his own conditions also determine that Wu Yue is not Yen Zidan's successor.

So who else is next? Look around, barely have half of it. Why is it half? He is Yue Song, a martial arts expert who has drifted outside the mainstream film and television circles, and has not been recognized by the mainstream film and television circles for a long time. There is no large-scale production and high-level investor director cooperation. He can only star in some web dramas forever, although his kung fu is the best among the above.

There are many Chinese actors, but very few can reach the height of Donnie Yen. Decades of persistence and long groping on the road to fame consume too many people's energy. For the film and television industry, it is urgent to find the next Donnie Yen.
