Ip Man completes Donnie Yen

"Ip Man 2" easily surpassed 100 million at the box office in the first week of its release. No wonder Donnie Yen became popular, and his tone grew louder. According to online reports, he thinks that only Jackie Chan and Jet Li can fight him now. He thinks that no matter what he plays, He can become popular, even if he hits Hong Quan and Wing Xia Yongdong, he can also become popular. Of course, this is said on the Internet, and its authenticity is also questionable.
In fact, I think it was Ye Wen's play that allowed him to truly become a first-line star. Only he can play Ye Wen.
There are many stars from martial arts, but there are only a handful of stars who can go to the front line. As a star or an actor, if you want to be famous and have a stable position, you must have your own characteristics, and there is no substitute for it. Jackie Chan's characteristics are playing tricks, gags, and funny. Jet Li, upright, fortitude, undefeated. As for Donnie Yen, he can't dodge around like Jackie Chan, shouting loudly and doing his best. To play the role of high integrity, Jet Li is already in front. Therefore, he has been acting for more than ten years, but he has never had the status and influence of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The reason may be that he has never had his own irreplaceable characteristics.
In the end, Ip Man let Donnie Yen find his own characteristics, and gave play to his temperament that is different from other martial arts stars-introverted, elegant, calm, and good martial arts, a martial arts star who exudes a scholarly temperament. The real Ye Wen, because of his family background, pays attention to clean appearance, likes to wear dark robes, is often mistaken for a private school teacher on the street, and no one guesses that he is a famous master of the generation. Looking at today's martial arts world, besides Donnie Yen, who else has such a refined temperament?
And "Ip Man 2" is different from the general fight for the sake of martial arts. It is half-literate and half-martial, more like a life story, because Ye Wen itself is not like Huo Yuanjia, Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu, etc. A martial arts film and television character, Ye Wen is a real person. He was born into a prominent family. He was not born for martial arts. He just wants to live and take care of his wife and children, so this story is easier for everyone to accept.
Ip Man let Donnie Yen find his own characteristics, and then became popular, and only Donnie Yen can make Ip Man popular. Ip Man and Donnie Yen are the only options in both directions.
