Cannes Film Festival, Huang Baiming and Donnie Yen, officially announced 3 films in one go, "Ip Man 5", "Fuse 2" and "Miscalculation".
Hearing this news, I didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed for a while.
Happy that the 60-year-old Donnie Yen is still sticking to the field of action movies, but the loss is that there is still "Ip Man 5", can he still shoot something new?
The "Ip Man" series has established Donnie Yen's status as a kung fu superstar and is also his most satisfying kung fu film.
At the beginning of the release of "Ip Man 4: The End" in 2019, he said that "Ip Man 4" was the end of the series and the last kung fu film he starred in.
I said goodbye to this role, but now only 4 years have passed, and the project has been restarted, and Master Ye has been successfully resurrected.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with making a sequel, after all, making money is not shameful. What's more, "Family Man" can shoot 10, and there is no end to it.
Not to mention anything else, Ip Man can even fight Tyson, naturally more able to fight than "Family Man", netizens also helped him think of a name, "Ip Man 5: Reverse the Future", "Ip Man 5: Reborn from the ashes" and "Ip Man 5: The Multiverse of Madness".
As for the story, some people also came up with ideas, such as the first four episodes did not have much to do with Bruce Lee, and in the fifth episode, Master Ye took Bruce Lee and taught him to practice martial arts.
Some netizens said that the first four films spanned so long, Master Ye disappeared for two hours, maybe he performed some secret mission, and he could shoot a gaiden.
Ridicule is ridicule, since Donnie Yen has decided to shoot, I hope he will not smash this signboard, polish the story and action well, and hand over a satisfactory answer.
Compared with "Ip Man 5", I personally look forward to "Misjudgment" and "Fuse 2".
Judging from the poster, "Misjudgment" is a work with a legal theme, which has been relatively popular in Hong Kong in the past two years, "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" and "Justice Corridor", one broke the box office record of Hong Kong films, and the other is the box office champion of Hong Kong Grade III films.
The story of "Miscarriage of Justice" is relatively simple, the young Ma Zhijie was falsely accused and imprisoned, and the prosecutor Guo Zihao teamed up with police station inspector Li Jinwei to find out the truth, restore Ma Zhijie's innocence, and bring the criminal group to justice.
Judging from the synopsis of the story, Donnie Yen should be able to play a policeman, after all, he is in charge of action, of course, it is not ruled out that he is a prosecutor who can do kung fu.
From the information on the Douban entry, it is known that the director of "Misjudgment" is Han Jie, who served as the deputy director of Jia Zhangke and participated in the filming of "The Good Man of Three Gorges".
Independently directed "Lai Kid" and "Hello! Mr. Tree" is two classics, but the last two works "Grocery Store" and "Cynical Hero" play out of order, and I am still a little worried.
Donnie Yen's 3 new films, the most attractive is "Fuse 2", fashion action movies are his main battlefield, before "Ip Man" exploded, it also relied on "Kill the Wolf" and "Fuse" to lay the foundation.
Especially in "The Fuse", Donnie Yen fights violence with violence, and the final showdown with "Tony" Zou Zhaolong is violent and real.
The movements of the two are clean, do not drag mud and water, fist to the flesh, stimulate adrenaline, show kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, MMA techniques, can be called textbook fighting.
If the filming of "Fuse 2" starts, kneel and beg the director to invite "Changwei" Zou Zhaolong back and fight Donnie Yen again, as well as "scumbag" Lu Liangwei, Shi Xingyu, master brother Lin Guobin and others, also hope to return.
Action movies are a major feature of Chinese-language films, and so far they can truly be called kung fu superstars and enjoy international fame, which are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen.
Needless to say, Xiaolong Ge founded Jeet Kune Do, opened classes in the United States to teach apprentices, karate champions Luo Lishi, Danny Inosando, Joe Lewis, Abdul-Jabbar, etc., are his apprentices and are a generation of grandmasters recognized by the world.
In terms of movies, he left four and a half classics, "Brother Tangshan" and "Jingwu Heroes" have been successful in Hong Kong, and "Dragon Crossing the River" is self-written, directed and acted by himself, with great talent; "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" directly entered the North American market, but unfortunately the last half of "Game of Death" remained, which is extremely nostalgic.
Jackie Chan's big brother, the world's kung fu superstar after Bruce Lee, at the beginning he was also a member of the imitation of Xiaolong brother, and after failure, he walked out of his own kung fu comedy and won the love of the audience.
"Serpentine Executioner" and "Drunken Fist" laid the course for their future, "Young Master Long" and "Plan A" focused on the Republic of China kung fu kid genre, and the "Police Story" series opened the wave of modern police heroes.
Jackie Chan had several experiences in Hollywood, but failed the first few times, until the thrilling jump of "Red Fan District" really conquered foreign audiences, and "Rush Hour" established its status in Hollywood.
Ordinary Chinese actors, in Hollywood movies, have no right to speak, Jackie Chan has absolute autonomy, and an Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award trophy is enough to prove everything.
But in recent years, the quality of Jackie Chan's filming has seriously declined, and the box office appeal has been weakening, "Dragon Horse Spirit" only got 210 million box office, I hope to win some word of mouth with "Rush Hour 4", "New Police Story 2" and "Legend" later!
Jet Li, the recognized emperor of kung fu, the early "Shaolin Temple" trilogy, and then the "Huang Fei Hong" series with Tsui Hark, as well as the "Fang Shiyu" series produced by Zhengdong Film Company, "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" and "Jingwu Heroes", are all classics among classics.
In particular, "Jingwu Heroes" is known as a textbook action film, and many foreign directors study the actions in the movie frame by frame and apply what they have learned.
Jet Li has been a proper male number one since his debut, but when he first came to Hollywood to develop, he started from supporting roles, starting from villains, and even starred in the controversial role in "Danny the Wolf Dog".
But even so, Jet Li won praise in Hollywood with his tough face and handsome skills.
Now Jet Li's focus has long been not on movies, he has not acted in a movie in the past ten years, and the most recent work is the emperor in "Mulan", which basically has no play.
Donnie Yen, as the last kung fu superstar in the Chinese film industry, was pressed by the two mountains of Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the 90s, and there was no day to emerge.
After the foreshadowing of "Kill the Wolf" and "The Fuse", Wilson Yip tailored the "Ip Man" series for him, and since then he has truly stepped into the ranks of kung fu superstars.
Now that Brother Xiaolong has passed away, Jackie Chan is gradually unable to fight, Jet Li is not making movies, only Donnie Yen is still cultivating action movies, just rush this persistence, it is also worth looking forward to "Ip Man 5", "Fuse 2" and "Misjudgment", I hope he can keep fighting.
As for Wu Jing, he could have succeeded Donnie Yen, but in recent years he has been shining in the main theme film, almost forgetting that he is a kung fu star, and hopes that his new film "Dao" will drive a wave of action movies in the future.
There is also Zhao Wenzhuo, the most promising kung fu star who succeeded Jet Li that year, but unfortunately left Tsui Hark, and there are no more film works that can be obtained, and now he can only make some online works, which is regrettable.
When it comes to the big net, you can't get around Semyon, last year's "No One in Sight" was out of the circle, and this year's "No One in the Eyes 2" is also ready to be released in theaters, I really hope that he can carry the banner of action movies in the future.
Also in the same era as Semyon, Shi Xiaolong, has good looks and strength, but he has not found his positioning, and he is expected to shine with Semyon and make a world in the field of action movies. (Reported by: XI)
