Member reason108 Posted January 29, 2013 Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 I just hope that the next Ip Man movie does not focus on Ip`s relation with BL. I love BL as much as the next guy but would there be any true insight or just more BS? As it is now, the Ip Man movies are to Ip`s life what Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story was to Bruce`s life. Ip had so many other students at that time anyways. WSL was the main guy that trained Bruce. In that case, the movie would turn out to be more about Bruce than Ip.

Member odioustrident Posted January 29, 2013 Member Share Posted January 29, 2013 Only Lee used the techniques minimally. That's why his proposed battle against the Mantis/Wing Chun master in GOD may have been projected to be his best fight scene filmed-next to the Coliseum battle with Norris. It's that area where Lee excelled. That's a great point. Thinking about those possibilities actually help me see Bruce in a different light... particularly in regards to how choreography would have changed had he lived.

Member DiP Posted March 26, 2013 Member Share Posted March 26, 2013 Tired of Ip Man Popularizing widespread interest in Wing Chun martial arts after Ip Man <葉問> in 2008, Donnie proclaimed that he had enough of the subject. He said, “I haven’t seen the other two film versions of Ip Man, but having filmed two movies on Ip Man, I have personally lost interest in this subject. If director Wilson Yip (葉偉信) is not going to film any more, I doubt I will either.” http://www.jaynestars.com/movies/donnie-yen-hopes-to-assemble-chinese-film-heroes-together/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member waywardsage Posted March 27, 2013 Member Share Posted March 27, 2013 Man that sucks. I would have really liked this to be a trilogy. GM Ip Man was badass! The other films seem to be more like knockoffs. It's not a bad thing for there to be tons of Ip Man movies. It has almost amounted to a reinvigoration of the genre! Less flying around like a bird and more real world ass kicking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 28, 2013 Member Share Posted March 28, 2013 OK so I guess Donnie isn't making Ip Man #3 then? It's up to Wilson Yip now so let's see what happens. I'm down with most of the projects he's been taking so far. But honestly I think he should drop the Yip Man subject and concentrate on movies he likes doing. So I think his Super Hero Films Co. thing is a great opportunity for him to achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted June 21, 2013 Member Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's official: Donnie is NOT going to reprise his Yip Man role anymore. Apparently, he tried to convince producer Raymond Wong to bring back Wilson Yip to which Wong denied proceeding. As a result, Donnie is backing out over Wong's final decision. https://twitter.com/TheGoldenRock/status/348138062733262848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted June 24, 2013 Member Share Posted June 24, 2013 Donnie Yen Underpaid for “Ip Man” Projects? In May, Hong Kong media outlets reported that the highly anticipated Ip Man 3 <葉問3> was canceled after Donnie Yen (甄子丹) withdrew to film the project. Creative differences reportedly came up between director Wilson Yip (葉偉信) and producer Raymond Wong (黃百鳴), who wanted his own son, Ip Man screenwriter Edmond Wong (黃子桓), to replace Wilson in the director’s chair for Ip Man 3 in 2D. Donnie decided to back out of Ip Man 3 to show his support to Wilson, a longtime collaborator. However, a recent phone interview with Raymond Wong revealed that he is still interested in continuing the franchise with both Donnie and Wilson in the crew. Raymond stated, “Donnie doesn’t have time this year. Wilson also has other jobs to do. [Ip Man 3] is under contract. No one can make it unless we make it first. The script has already been given to the Beijing film bureau for approval.” A new tabloid rumor alleged that Raymond dismissed Donnie from the job after the actor demanded for a $50 million HKD salary. Raymond countered these rumors, claiming that Donnie was paid at his market quote. “The remuneration he received from me never exceeded the pay that others gave him. I never said his asking price was too much.” As for the reports indicating that Raymond wanted his son to helm Ip Man 3, the filmmaker clarified, “It was Wilson Yip who suggested Edmond to direct while he produces. Wilson is too busy at the moment, but Edmond also has his wedding this year, so he doesn’t have the time to make the film either.” Raymond then hinted that the studio has not given up on Ip Man 3 yet. He said, “We can’t make the film this year, but I do hope that everyone will have time to do it next year.” Donnie Yen Responds When asking about his rumored discord with Raymond Wong over production issues, Donnie did not give a direct answer, saying, “I will always respect him because he is [my] senior.” Asked about his $50 million HKD salary, Donnie said, “The whole world knows that the film remunerationsI received from Raymond are lower than those from Peter Lam (林建岳), Albert Yeung (楊受成), Stephen Shiu (蕭定一), [and] Alexander Wong (王海峰). For many years I have accepted the ‘friendship’ price he gave me. The whole industry knows this.” Donnie revealed that he was trying to pan out his busy 2013 schedule to shoot Ip Man 3, but things did not go as well as planned. “Peter Lam [Media Asia CEO] originally [gave me an open slot] between June and September. I requested it to be extended to December, but negotiations didn’t go too well.” Donnie admitted that he preferred Wilson Yip to direct Ip Man 3 instead, explaining, “Wilson Yip and I worked together in the last two Ip Man films. We share the same philosophy for these films, and I want this [partnership] to continue on to the next one, to respect the audience. I don’t want [Raymond’s] son to direct this film, however, I will give his son my utmost support if he chooses to direct another film. I’ve always encouraged new directors.” Asked if he would go with Raymond’s wishes and shoot Ip Man 3 next year, Donnie said, “My schedule for next year is packed. I do have a new company and there are many projects left for me to do.” Wilson Yip said, “We are just employees. If [Raymond] wants me to do it, I’ll do it. If he doesn’t want me to I’ll still want to do it, because I really like this film series.” Source: http://www.jaynestars.com/movies/donnie-yen-underpaid-for-ip-man-projects/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SamSeed Posted January 30, 2014 Member Share Posted January 30, 2014 This is fantastic news! As long as Sammo is back as the choreographer and the 3D doesn't impact on the film too much then this could be one of the best martial arts films of next year!

Member DiP Posted January 30, 2014 Member Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm more interested to see Donnie choreograph wing chun himself. His style packs so much 'oomph' and I like how he experiments with camerawork and the way he comes with varying ideas for great enhancement. Much respect to Sammo but he has contributed more than enough for wing chun onscreen and doesn't need to continue anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
