Last week, “Ye Wen 4” was released. The subtitles of the film were concise and clear.

Actually, when the film “Ye Wen 3” was released, the film slogan of the ultimate war was probably to conceal the embarrassment of “food”. This time, they directly used the film name to say decisively: Really do n’t shoot .

The 56-year-old Donnie Yen said: “Ye Wen 4” will be his last effort. The producer Bona Yu directly yells: “This is the final battle of Hong Kong films! “

This winter in Beijing, two heavy snowfalls have occurred, one deeper than the other. Snowflakes fluttered and fell on the earth, covering up the dusty past.

The wheels of the years are moving forward, the sound of the whistle seems to be talking, the golden age of Chinese kung fu movies is gone.

In 2007, Zhen Zidan, who had just finished filming “Fuseline”, suddenly received a call from the producer Huang Baiming, inviting him to star in Ye Wen.

After dropping the phone, he was hesitant.

“Fuseline” is the third film directed by Donnie Yen and Ye Weixin, and they have already collaborated on “Dragon Tiger Door” and “Broken Wolf”.

For this film, he spent more than a year designing martial arts styles, and personally acted as the action director of the film.

At the time of filming, Donnie Yen was still very furious. His tail keel to pelvic bone was compressed into a 7-shape due to injuries. The doctor told him that further deterioration would affect his breathing.

Picture: Classic action scene of movie “Fuse Line”

In the end, the action drama was interpreted to the most incisive “Fuse Line”, which helped Zhen Zidan win the 44th Golden Horse Award and the 27th Golden Elephant Award for Best Action Design Award.

Even though the action scene is very explosive, “Fuse Line” is still not very popular. The Mainland reported that it had a box office of 31.04 million, which was less than expected by all parties.

When Jackie Chan and Jet Li are getting old, the number of action movies is being reduced, but Donnie Yen, who was still in the middle of the fight, still ca n’t catch on. He was 44 years old.

No one can think of it. It was this call by Huang Baiming that completely changed his fate.

In fact, as early as when shooting Xu Ke’s “Seven Swords”, Huang Baiming, an investor, noticed Zhen Zidan. Huang Baiming said: “Many big stars immediately ran away without acting, and only one person stayed in Tianshan from beginning to end. When filming, he was Zhen Zidan. When I signed Zhen Zidan, the bosses were laughing and said, ‘Nervous, why did you sign him? It will be red long ago.’

But Huang Baiming was still moved by Zhen Zidan’s professionalism. He signed a three-year contract with him for three films. This was the later film “Ye Wen”.

As soon as the news of Zhen Zidan’s appearance in Ye Wen was heard, the voices of questioning and declining fading came one after another. Even Ye Wen’s son Ye Zhun met Zhen Zi Dan and felt that he was far from his father’s image.

How can he act as a generation of Wing Chun master Ye asked, always showing his muscles?

Zhen Zidan has never been in contact with Wing Chun before and can only learn from scratch. He spent almost 9 months practicing Wing Chun, but the worst part was that before the film was shot in half, he had already hurt the old man, and his right hand could not be lifted at all.
