The "Final Battle" of the "Ip Man" Series

In my opinion, Qiu Litao is the "final battle" of the "Ip Man" series of films. Ip Man and his Wing Chun are not even as famous in China as Cai Lifo, not to mention Huo Yuanjia and Huang Feihong. The entertainment value extracted is also finished here, just like "The Rise of the Dark Knight".
It's more like a filler from "Ip Man Prequel" to "The Grand Master". In this film, the action scenes are just extras. I didn't mention Ye Wen's close disciple, but satirized the beautiful characters in the apprentices, didn't give Jenny a specific explanation, but ended with shooting wooden piles, didn't mention fighting with the British, but swept the Kowloon Walled City, didn't mention Sammo Hung The Hongquan, but provoked Baihemen.
The fate of Miss Jenny is reminiscent of Anita Mui, if she sings "Women's Flower", it will be in place. I don't know why the apprentices in the film are very hostile to her, even after Zhang Yongcheng's death, maybe a person is too good, and the influence is so great, or the atmosphere at that time is to look down on street singers.
If it is estimated that the Kowloon Walled City can be wiped out, Deng Sheng should have taken the seat of Chief China Inspector Reynolds. So in fact, the British gangsters and the Kowloon City gangsters should have learned a lesson, but they were not so big.
Baihe National Arts Association did not know how much public relations expenses it took to get this role.
Yuan Yongyi is now a professional auntie, but her acting is quite in place. There is a shadow in "The Grandmaster", and it may actually be like this.
Deng Sheng's role is quite complicated. However, the world is like this, and it is as strong as Ye Wen, and it stops at the end.
"You are invincible in the world, and you can't stop the torrent of the times", "A penny can beat a hero, what's the use of learning martial arts, and friends can't help you when you are in trouble." People can help. China has been in chaos for a century, and we have tried all kinds of ways. Fortunately, we have a solid foundation and can afford to toss. The social security system has been established for many years. What can we do now? If something goes wrong, we can only rely on relatives and friends.
The martial arts masters in several films have either tuberculosis or stomach problems. Probably because Mi Zong, Wing Chun, Hong Quan, Cai Li Fo, and Jeet Kune Do are all foreign martial arts. It’s good to come to the gym, keep practicing hard, but I’m afraid it’s really too burdensome for the body. When you get older, it’s easy to get your internal organs out of tune. I don’t know if it’s the same for people who practice judo and karate.
In fact, on the whole, I think it has caught up to the level of "Once Upon a Time", but it is not more than ten years ago, and the film received little applause, because Zhuyu is ahead.

    Donnie Yen’s Ye Wen, called Huo Yuanjia, is my least favorite; Tony Leung’s Ye Wen, a flying fairy from the sky, is my favorite, but I wonder if Ye Wen is like that? Huang Qiusheng's Ye Wen is the most down-to-earth, and this movie also has the strongest flavor of old Hong Kong, and is the Ye Wen I most recognize. But, what is the real Ye Wen like?

    It's not great, even Qiusheng.
