"Wolf Warrior 3" and "Kung Fu 2" are both sequels determined by their respective directors. They are also sequels that can be filmed, and they are sequels that domestic audiences are looking forward to. But what people didn't expect is that 7 and 5 years have passed and they haven't been released yet. Not only that, there hasn't even been any news about them in recent years.
From all aspects, it seems that Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 3" and Stephen Chow's " Kung Fu 2" are very likely to "die", which means that the audience will not see these two movies in the future.
Although we have not waited for the two confirmed sequels, a sequel movie that was originally impossible to be filmed is about to come out quietly, and this sequel movie is "Ip Man 5" starring Donnie Yen . 》.
Last May, at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival , Hong Kong's Oriental Pictures announced the return of "Ip Man 5" starring Donnie Yen, and also released a movie poster.
As soon as the news came out, the domestic audience was very surprised, because this sequel should not have been born. Before "Ip Man 5" was confirmed, a total of four movies were released in the entire " Ip Man " series. Among them, " Ip Man 4", which was released in 2019, had a subtitle as "The Finale" , which means that "Ip Man 4" will be the last Ip Man movie.
What's more, the movie "Ip Man 4" also revealed the end of the protagonist Ip Man's life at the end. He finally died of throat cancer at the age of 79.
The subtitle is "The Final Chapter". The protagonist also died of illness in the end. Naturally, the audience would not have thought that there would be a fifth film in the "Ip Man" series.
"Ip Man 4" already had an ending. Why did Donnie Yen still go to film "Ip Man 5"? There are two reasons for this.
First, "Ip Man 4", which was released in 2019, has created very impressive box office results in China. I believe that no one will have trouble with money.
From the first "Ip Man" in 2008 to "Ip Man 4" in 2019, the box office performance of each sequel in the series will surpass the previous one.
The first "Ip Man" was released in 2008, and its total domestic box office was less than 85 million yuan. By 2019, the cumulative box office of "Ip Man 4" was close to 1.2 billion yuan. The salary of Donnie Yen, who plays Ip Man, has also increased from 3 million yuan in the first film to 100 million yuan.
The box office of each film is higher than the previous one, and the remuneration has also increased dozens of times. This will naturally promote the filming of "Ip Man 5" after the completion of the film.
What's more, Donnie Yen's ability to become a first-line superstar was entirely dependent on the "Ip Man" series.In recent years, Donnie Yen has also become famous internationally. Last year, "Quick 4", co-starring him and Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves, created a global box office of US$438 million, breaking the record in one fell swoop. The highest grossing record for the entire series. Afterwards, the series decided to create an independent film for the character played by Donnie Yen, making Donnie Yen the first leading actor in a Hollywood film for the first time.
went from a "supporting role" to a first-line superstar, and later became the first starring role in Hollywood blockbusters, and his influence in the international film industry gradually increased.
