In 2008, Wu Jing said he didn't know who Ip Man was, and only recognized himself as a martial arts champion chosen by China's 1.3 billion people.
As a result, he angered the Martial Arts community in Hong Kong, and was jointly ordered by the Eight Martial Arts Halls to fight with Wu Jing, a 500,000, the consequences were at their own risk, and life and death followed! Just like that, a martial arts dispute was about to occur.
Wu Jing was born in a martial arts family, his father was good at mantis fist and nine whips, because of his naughtiness, Wu Jing was kicked out by his father seven meters away when he was a child.
Wu Jing began to practice martial arts at the Shichahai Sports School at the age of six, became Jet Li's disciple, and then starred in many action movies.
In 2008, Wu Jing promoted the self-directed and self-starred movie "Wolf's Tooth", and Zhen Zidan was also promoting "Ip Man".
The host asked Wu Jing, what do you think of Ip Man? Wu Jing replied, Who is Ip Man? I don't know where he is sacred.
Many people think that Wu Jing is deliberately embarrassing Zhen Zidan, after all, Wu Jing is mixed in Hong Kong, and Ip Man is Bruce Lee's master.
Wing Chun is very popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong, and almost everyone knows about it, not to mention that Wu Jing practiced martial arts since childhood. You say you don't know, is it possible?
For a time, the reporter surrounded him like a shark that smelled fishy, and publicized the matter to the ears of the Hong Kong martial arts community.
Wing Chun disciples held a seminar to discuss how to fight back against Wu Jing. Director Xu Xiaoming stood up and said that he knew Wu Jing as a person, and he would not say such words with a contemptuous and contemptuous mentality.
But where the Wing Chun disciples could listen to his explanation, they planned to have a fair contest with Wu Jing to see who was strong.
Wing Chun disciples sent a letter of war to Wu Jing and put forward several requirements: The first is that the consequences are at their own risk, and life and death follow fate
The second is that each of them can use any martial arts move in the ring according to their own skills
The third is that each side will pay 500,000, which adds up to 1 million, as a reward for the winner.
Of course, Wing Chun disciples are not unreasonable, and these three points are based on the consent of both parties. Wu Jing is helpless, after all, he is still developing in the Hong Kong film circle, and it is not good for him to win or lose.
But the media and reporters did not think it was a big deal, and they ran to shout, and Wu Jing responded to the battle. However, Wu Jing's agent said that he would not attend this competition, and wing chun was enraged, claiming to see him fight once at a time, and finally jumped to his feet in anger, you are a martial arts practitioner, do not know who Ip Man is, who believes?
In their opinion, those who study martial arts must know Bruce Lee, Ip Man is Bruce Lee's master, you can not know who Bruce Lee's parents are, but you must know Bruce Lee's master, Wu Jing does not know, that is deliberate.
At this time, Wu Jing's master Wu Bin could not sit still, he shouted that the Wing Chun Sect would set up a ring in Beijing and welcome wing chun disciples to challenge, and for a time it became a feud between the two sects, and things became more and more intense, but in the end it was still peaceful.
Because there is a big guy as a lobbyist, this big guy is the director Xu Xiaoming, he is also the ninth generation of mantis fist, and has cooperated with Wu Jing in "Twin Thieves", and has a lot of say. He first advised the Wing Chun faction not to be misled, the media has always been not too big, like to exaggerate, everyone had better sit down and talk calmly, to solve this misunderstanding, why shout in the air.
In this way, Xu Xiaoming organized a dinner party and asked them to make their words clear. The Wing Chun pie has not yet dissipated at the scene, and everyone who looks at Wu Jing's eyes is eager to fight a fight.
Then Wu Jing said that he said that he did not know Ip Man, but he also had a sentence after him, and later checked a lot of information, I learned that the original Ip Man was Bruce Lee's master, is a particularly powerful figure in the martial arts world, he belongs to the desire to promote the first suppression of the statement, but this sentence was deleted by the media, resulting in a feeling of Wu Jing contempt and contempt for Ip Man.
In the end, the two sides talked heart-to-heart, and finally resolved the contradiction. After this incident, Ip Man suddenly became famous, the movie also became a big fire, and the lead actor Zhen Zidan also became an iconic figure of a generation of Ip Man, winning the title of kung fu superstar, and then launched the Ip Man series while it was hot.
As Wing Chun became more and more popular, Wing Chun disciples were also very happy, and at that time there was a boom in learning Wing Chun in the country.
However, some people cried for Wu Jing, thinking that someone had deliberately publicized and guided the occurrence of this matter.
I don't know who Ip Man is, if it weren't for the Ip Man movie who knows him, some people think that it is normal for ordinary people not to know him, but a person who has never known martial arts from elementary school really can't say it, not to mention that Ip Man is not a nobody.
Do you think Wu Jing did it on purpose?
