Not to mention being suppressed by Jet Li, how did Jason Wu, Chiu Man-Cheuk and Ashton Chen of the same style become popular as soon as they made their debut? Li specializes in pressing his younger brother?
Donnie Yen was really "useless" in Donnie Yen at that time. Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren and Yuan Xinyi went out in person. The first two films in the 1980s, Laughing Tai Chi and Meeting My Opponent, were both funny+break dancing+diversified actions, which were very wonderful. There are top competitions, but Donnie Yen has not become popular.
In the 1980s and 1990s, China people advocated martial arts. Due to the limitation of vision, boxing, Muay Thai and fighting are all fake moves, and only the profound China Wushu is authentic in the world. He thinks foreign boxing is stupid, and he is convinced that the thin old man can beat the Hercules with four or two kilograms.
The patriotic feelings of the people of China have always been strong. In the 1980s, people in China liked to watch heroes fight foreigners. It was exciting and noble! Subjects such as Zhen Chen, Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu are very popular. Jet Li is very popular all over the world, so are Chiu Man-Cheuk and Jason Wu. Only Donnie Yen can't do it. Even a few years old Ashton Chen can't do it.
Donnie Yen was an outsider at that time. He didn't fight China, the West, heroes or foreigners. There was nothing in him that China people liked at that time. What made him popular?
The same Zhen style, movies are not good, but Jingwumen is popular all over the country, and people are empty! Donnie Yen sang the ending song himself. Because brother Dan beat the hero and the Japanese! People like it.
No one in Donnie Yen in the 2 1 century can keep up with the development of the times. Only Thai boxing, boxing, fighting, free fighting, Sanda and so on. Into the public's field of vision, people can see what the real style is. At that time, the martial arts movies had declined, and the audience's knowledge had soared. People are tired of watching emptiness flying around. What Donnie Yen always appreciates and is good at is fighting movies.
The best opportunity always belongs to the hardest worker. Martial arts movies are down and out, and Donnie Yen is the most diligent and persistent director of action movies. No one filmed the action theme, but he devoted himself. As a result, Donnie Yen lost all three films, such as New Tangshan Mobile and Legend of War Wolf. ...
He didn't give up, but also starred in martial arts films such as Iron Horse and Su Qier. No matter what you can do, whether it's fighting or martial arts, investing in yourself or being an actor, Donnie Yen just works hard.
In 2002, Hero made another hit, and Zhen Xuan was already popular. If you want to be a great man in Sri Lanka, you must first put up with its will ... Just set foot on a Ma Pingchuan, and in 2004, ong bak swept the world. ...
Donnie Yen reacted very quickly. In 2005, Kill the Wolf was released, followed by Fuse and Dragon Humen, which just withstood the impact of Muay Thai. Since then, China films have entered the Donnie Yen era. Up to now, "Kill the Wolf" and "The Fuse" are second to none, and are called the pioneering works of China fighting movies by fans.
Needless to say, the back leaf man series. The only top martial arts movies in China are Jet Li's Huang Feihong and Donnie Yen's Ip Man. It's no use refusing to accept it. Don't say that you can invite Tai Sen for money. Why didn't anyone invite you before? First of all, you should have the heart to push China Wushu to the world, and then you should move.
If you want to succeed, your ability is far from enough. You also need your vision, daily accumulation, constant preparation and unremitting efforts. Everything depends on action. If the film environment is good, it will be staged, and if the environment is poor, it will be abandoned. Why is it successful? It's too late to look at other people's popularity and try harder! This is fairness.
I stated that Donnie Yen was unpopular in his early years because of the times, prejudice, Donnie Yen's style, theme and even identity, which were not widely accepted, no matter how hard he tried. Time, motivation and luck!
People always appreciate people who work hard, and everyone is not a fool. Is there any reason why Donnie Yen didn't become a big winner in life?
Made efforts that other filmmakers could not. With foresight, firm belief in our own ideas and pursuit of perfection, we have been preparing and trying to build a top team Jia Zhenban for decades. Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, bury your head in the actual work and rely on the work to speak.
All-rounder, martial arts movies+fighting movies+action design/guidance (seven awards), who else? Playing the piano, singing and dancing are all professionals. Isn't Donnie Yen's 30-year efforts a great success?
Besides, don't spray Donnie Yen with Bruce Lee, nationality and personality. Donnie Yen is a director of the Hong Kong Bruce Lee Association, personally awarded by Li Xiangning. Donnie Yen retired from the United States in 2009 and became a citizen of China.
Donnie Yen has been a charity ambassador of Save the Children for many years, and won the honor of China Charity Donation Star in 2020. Donnie Yen has worked with more than 40 domestic action stars, most of them twice or more. Remember, such a successful person must have advantages that others don't have! Just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't know.
Donnie Yen's debut coincided with the golden age of Kung Fu movies. Bruce Lee has passed away, but there is a good market for those who have left kung fu movies. As far as Donnie Yen is concerned, Jackie Chan came first, then Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Jet Li stood side by side, which is hard to see in the era of kung fu movies, and two super kung fu superstars appeared at the same time. This shows how embarrassing the times in which Donnie Yen lived are.
As for later, why did you attack the winners of adult life? It is nothing more than two aspects, one is subjective itself and the other is objective conditions.
Zhang Anbang talks about himself first. Donnie Yen has the genes to become a kung fu superstar. He practiced boxing with his mother in the United States, and then went to Beijing Wushu Institute for further study. He and Jet Li are worthy of the name, and he also got the guidance of Zhao Changjun. In martial arts, especially routines, routines are the best skills of martial arts superstars. When Donnie Yen came to the Hong Kong film industry, he never gave up, no matter how difficult it was. As we all know, Jackie Chan and Jet Li have made many kung fu actors give up their ambition to compete for the top, and they, including Donnie Yen, can't be shaken. However, Donnie Yen never gave up. Remember, Donnie Yen has a comparative advantage. After all, he is younger than Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The other is his years of hard work. He can play longer and retire, so he can beat his two predecessors in time.
As for objectivity, Zhang Anbang also analyzed it above. First, the age advantage, after all, a few years younger, the predecessors are always old. Secondly, after nearly 20 years of precipitation, his works have formed their own style, which can be described as thick accumulation and thin hair, just as IP Man kept pace with the national sentiment at that time, and there were also kung fu actors who did not compete with it at that time, just like him. In fact, people who practice martial arts know that age is irreversible, so I retired to the second line very early and presided over the educational administration of the former Jeet Kune Do Hall in Nanjing instead of fighting hard. Many times, time really waits for no one!
It's my pleasure to answer your question.
I think Donnie Yen's successful counterattack shows that it is most important to know the audience's preferences!
Donnie Yen, 1963 was born in Guangdong, China on July 27th. He is a famous film actor, director and martial arts instructor in Hongkong, China.
Donnie Yen immigrated to Hongkong at the age of 2, and 1 1 immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. His mother, Ms. Bow Sim Mark, is an international martial arts master and teacher of Artest's biography, so he practiced martial arts with her since childhood, which can be said to be a martial arts family rooted in Hongmiao. At the same time, he came into contact with China's traditional kungfu and western boxing, such as Tai Ji Chuan, which laid a good foundation for his traditional martial arts.
There is no doubt that Donnie Yen has a solid foundation in martial arts, but whether he starred in 1984' s Laughing Tai Chi or Meeting My Opponent, Donnie Yen didn't go overboard. Why? All the reasons are from the movie audience! The audience doesn't understand martial arts. Even if the fist is full of flesh, only experts can understand the truth, but the audience can't understand it. The audience only likes martial arts movies with good action, which is what we often call "tokenistic gestures"!
1985, Donnie Yen returned to Chinese mainland again and went to Xi 'an to find a martial arts master Zhao Changjun to learn martial arts routines.
After several years of study, I returned to Hong Kong and starred in martial arts films such as Huang Feihong, Su, Xinlongmen Inn, which was well received and successfully countered!
Donnie Yen's performance experience shows that basic skills come first, but making movies is not a martial arts competition. You have to know the audience's preferences, and then learn from them, and finally you can succeed!
90' s is the golden age of China Kung Fu movies. At this time, Jackie Chan and Jet Li have become famous, made a splash in the film industry, and have their own masterpieces of many classic films. They have begun to March into Hollywood and take the international route, and the box office appeal is very high. At this time, Donnie Yen's works were not many. Due to the influence of Hong Kong film market forces, no representative film classic character has its own unique symbol. Needless to say, the influence of Hollywood and Hong Kong movies is far from enough! During this period, Donnie Yen was also a director and action director. Now, when you mention the film series "Never admit defeat", you will think of Jackie Chan; When you mention the Huang Feihong movies, you think of Jet Li.
After Jackie Chan and Jet Li went to Hollywood for development, Hong Kong Kung Fu film Donnie Yen had a chance. Starting from the series of Ip Man, Donnie Yen began to attack Red. Ip Man series has become Donnie Yen's classic masterpiece. Since Bruce Lee became synonymous with China Kung Fu in the world, Bruce Lee's master Ip Man began to enter people's field of vision and became a hot topic. Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" series came into being, and Donnie Yen himself practiced Wing Chun. Now everyone mentions the topic of IP Man, and the image of IP Man played by Donnie Yen is deeply rooted in people's hearts, so it's strange that it's not hot! Now when it comes to Ip Man series, it's naturally Donnie Yen!
In fact, as we all know, there must be countless sorrows behind a successful person, so how did Donnie Yen get angry? What's the story behind him? In fact, as we all know, Donnie Yen is an artist and star of the older generation after all. He is mainly a martial arts star, and he is quite accomplished in martial arts. Then he was angered by IP Man because he played the leading role in English movies. Then there is a martial arts action movie, and it is China Kung Fu, so on the one hand, it can reflect the profoundness of China culture, the process of China traditional culture, and the characteristics of the Chinese nation, and then it is a story-telling movie, so IP Man plays a very good role in this movie and plays it perfectly. This brought him a certain reputation.
In fact, as we all know, there are many stars in China, especially in acting. However, there are several types of performances, some are dramatic actors, some are TV actors, and some are actors on the movie screen. Like IP Man, face is the kind of big screen that is more suitable for making movies, and it is also more professional. This kind of professionalism is very strong, not to say that everyone can play, but just ask.
There are still many stars like Donnie Yen, such as Jackie Chan, who is the eldest brother here, followed by rising stars Jason Wu, Donnie Yen and some martial arts stars. Their real names may not be known, but they are all unknown, but they also need everyone's support.
From 2008 to 20 19, IP Man series wrote its own legend in four films.
Donnie Yen played Master Ye for the last time, and the flashback at the end of the film made people cry.
Start with a stake and end with a stake.
We are fortunate to witness a warm return and a warm farewell.
This is not only Donnie Yen's farewell to this role, but also his farewell to Kung Fu movies.
It used to be said that movies are for dreaming, and we can watch the superheroes on the screen go to heaven and hit bad guys. It's really enjoyable.
As a result, this year's movie hit us in the face. It turns out that superheroes get old and die.
Whether it's The Avengers or IP Man.
After all, time and tide wait for no man, and Donnie Yen will never move.
Before meeting Ip Man, Donnie Yen's career in the first half of his life can only be described as humbled.
In his first 30 years, the following two names must be inseparable from the discussion around him: Jet Li and Jackie Chan.
Among them, Donnie Yen and Jet Li have the deepest roots.
/kloc-at the age of 0/7, Donnie Yen returned to China to study in Shichahai Sports School. His coach is Wu Bin and his brother is Jet Li.
However, people with different lives, a Shaolin Temple made Jet Li popular all over the country.
So Jet Li changed from a martial arts player to a martial arts star.
As an actor, if you want the audience to remember you, you must have your own masterpiece.
Jet Li was named "Kung Fu Emperor" for his classic films such as Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu.
On the other hand, Donnie Yen won both weapons and boxing in the American Wushu competition.
However, compared with my senior's grades, my own grades are really average.
Everyone has heard of the phrase "one life, two luck and three feng shui". In fact, there is the second half of this sentence, "four products, five studies, six seven phases, nine friends and ten students in Ba Shen".
For Donnie Yen, there is no doubt that his noble is Yuan Heping.
As a master martial artist, he is very famous in China film industry and even in the world.
Yuan Heping made Jackie Chan famous with drunken fists.
Donnie Yen came into his sight when he was looking for the next new person. Since then, we have started a long-term cooperation with Donnie Yen.
Laughing Tai Chi is the first film starring Donnie Yen. From this movie, Yuan Heping found that Donnie Yen is good at legs.
So in money laundering, he designed many leg movements for Donnie Yen. You can find the shadow in Donnie Yen's later works.
Unfortunately, Jet Li and Jackie Chan were definitely Grade C in the field of kung fu movies at that time.
Playing the police can't surpass Chen Jiaju; Being a hero can't surpass Huang Feihong.
Throughout the 1990s, Donnie Yen was only impressed by two big screen images, both of which were villains.
One is Cao Shaoqin of Xinlongmen Inn, whose voice and white makeup are the shadows of childhood.
One is Nalanyuan's description of Huang Feihong men's self-reliance.
He and Huang Feihong are inextricably linked in street fighting, which is impressive.
The Huang Feihong series was a great success, and Donnie Yen knew that it was not his own credit. Instead of being a green leaf, he might as well move to the small screen and seek other development.
Finally, let him wait for the first masterpiece of his acting career, Jingwumen directed by Chen Musheng.
When the play was broadcast, no one was there.
The feelings of Zhen Chen and Takeda Naomi in the play, and the love affair of Donnie Yen and Joey Meng Yee Man Qiman outside the play are all topics that people talk about after dinner.
Donnie Yen, a minor celebrity, started to set up his own company, and successively filmed The Legend of War Wolf, Killing and Dancing, and New Tangshan Mobile.
Unfortunately, the box office was a fiasco.
In the commercial society, profit comes first, and there is no box office achievement. Everything is a lie.
After filming in Hong Kong for more than ten years, Donnie Yen began to seek overseas development.
200 1 At the invitation of Jet Li, Donnie Yen returned to China to participate in Hero directed by Zhang Yimou.
This is the second cooperation between teachers and brothers after Huang Feihong.
This sword fight made the audience really pay attention to Donnie Yen.
It is worth mentioning that there is a classic comeback in this scene of Donnie Yen, when body double was Max Zhang.
"Hero" made Donnie Yen a household name, and Max Zhang became famous in the industry because of this action.
But as we all know, there is still a long way to go.
Again, if an actor wants to be remembered by everyone, he must have his own masterpiece.
Jackie Chan created "Kung Fu Comedy" with a strong personal style.
Jet Li used northern martial arts to interpret southern masters and thoroughly developed China Kung Fu.
Jason Wu said, "If no one can help you create such an era, can you create one yourself and express what you want to express?"
So there was the wolf warrior, which was later desperate.
Donnie Yen was still a bit unlucky until he met Ye Weixin.
The two collaborated on Kill the Wolf and Fuse.
The audience watched more kung fu comedies and tricks, and this kind of hard-bridge, hard-horse, fist-and-fist fighting was very enjoyable.
The two fighting scenes in Kill the Wolf are still textbook-level.
One was a street fight with Jason Wu, and the two martial arts people never tried anything. This is a real battle.
The other is a battle with Sammo Hung's boss.
According to director Ye Weixin, "In the ending scene, because the fight between eldest brother and Zidan was all real kung fu, eldest brother blocked Zidan's foot with his foot, which immediately led to the recurrence of his old illness. Walking was hard and painful, but eldest brother was very professional and completed all the shooting processes with pain."
Kill the Wolf injected a shot in the arm into the nearly declining Hong Kong action movies and set a benchmark for future Hong Kong action movies.
The action in The Fuse goes further than that in Kill the Wolf, combining Jeet Kune Do, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Sanda, Boxing, Taekwondo, Judo and Muay Thai. And concentrate on external kung fu.
In the scene between Donnie Yen and Xingyu Shi, flying kicks, boxing, knee bumps and falls make people excited.
Finally, the dispute with Zou's boss is dazzling.
At this time, Huang Baiming, the second nobleman in Donnie Yen, wanted to sign him and made three films in three years.
Huang Baiming said: "When I signed Donnie Yen, the bosses waited to see my jokes and said,' Psycho, why did you sign him? If he wanted to turn red, he would have turned red. "
Huang Baiming smiled without a word, because he was preparing a kung fu film and needed an actor who really understood kung fu.
This movie is IP Man.
Fortunately, Donnie Yen and Ip Man were destined to be together.
Liu Zhenwei, director of A Chinese Odyssey 65438-0997, plans to start shooting Ip Man.
At that time, it was decided that Donnie Yen would play Ip Man and Stephen Chow would play Bruce Lee.
Later, due to various reasons, the project ran aground and there was no following.
Ten years later, Huang Baiming invited him to play Ip Man, and he agreed without saying anything.
But then there is a question: why should he play?
The founder at that time didn't seem to have any ideas. When the first film of Ip Man was released, the words "Bruce Lee's mentor" were written on the poster. After all, IP Man is not well known to the audience.
But as a result, everyone saw that a gentle and respectful master who stood up when he saw injustice was reborn on the big screen.
Donnie Yen, 45, plays Ip Man, 45. It seems that everything is arranged by heaven.
Director Ye Weixin said to Donnie Yen, "You need a role. When people say this role, they will think of Donnie Yen."
This sentence has now become a prophecy.
Later, in the public's impression, IP Man was Donnie Yen and Donnie Yen was IP Man.
Since then, Donnie Yen and IP Man have forged an indissoluble bond, and they really have their own representative works.
45-year-old late bloomer, fame and fortune.
Earlier, when filming of "Ip Man 4" started, Huang Baiming paid more than HK$ 654.38 billion for Donnie Yen, but he thought it was worth it. "This value is given to him by the market. I don't think Zidan's other plays are worth it, but filming Ye Wen is worth it. "
But Donnie Yen didn't want to be stereotyped by Ip Man, so he said goodbye to this "famous character" in person after four episodes.
Maybe after a long time, it will be difficult to have the same level of kung fu movies.
But Donnie Yen didn't give up action movies.
He bluntly said that his next film, Anger, was his "best fashion action film since the movie".
All good things must come to an end, although the Ip Man series has ended.
But it is also a blessing to witness a legend of our time.
In the early years, China's film market went from decline to prosperity. Donnie Yen is a filmmaker who grew up with the pulse of this era. In the early years, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen always played supporting roles, so Donnie Yen never got angry. Later, he won the Golden Award for Best Action Guidance for five years, which is inseparable from his personal efforts and persistence.
Donnie Yen's mother, Ms. Bow Sim Mark, is an international martial artist and Artest's collective boxing teacher. So he practiced martial arts with her since childhood, and at the same time he was exposed to China Kung Fu such as Tai Chi and Western Boxing, which laid a good foundation for his traditional martial arts.
After Jackie Chan and Jet Li semi-retired, Donnie Yen was angered by Ip Man.
His early plays lacked literary plays and had no merits. It was not until IP Man that he reached the peak of his literary play.
