"Ip Man" is not a big pie...

This can be seen from the salary of the first part - Donnie Yen's salary is 3 million Hong Kong dollars...

The total production cost does not exceed 30 million...

It's not a well-known IP...

well-known IPs, such as the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Zhang Ziyi almost played Yue Lingshan;

Also, the TV series version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was established that year - screenwriter Chen Shisan, director Li Huizhu, three places across the Taiwan Strait, including Singapore, and the Quartet joined forces to create it!

That casting battle is really...

The actor gave Chen Xiaodong, and many people were not convinced!

The main thing is that his acting skills are too bad...

Of course, that drama was filmed and written at the same time, Chen Shisan liked Nie Yuan's acting skills, so the scene of Seven Nights became heavier and heavier, and he even turned over to become the male number one...

Back to "Ip Man", it's really an unknown IP...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shen Mengxi to find Zhou Yang, at that time, no first-line actress took the initiative to take this cake.

If Fan Xiaopang or Li Lianhua were willing to act, it would be impossible for Shen Mengxi to give the heroine to Zhou Yang;

After the release of "Ip Man", it has always been called a dark horse at the box office!

Why a dark horse?

Because I didn't like it at first!

There are no big names willing to take a salary cut to join, so just look for it...

Although it is not a big IP, Donnie Yen + Ye Weixin, the cards are still quite bluffing, and there are indeed many actresses above the second tier who have expressed interest...

- The blessing effect of second-tier actresses on the box office is almost zero, and it is the same for anyone!

It just happened to meet Zhou Yang, and she has a schedule again...

Compared with the original Xiong Loan, Zhou Yang has at least three characters like the Holy Mother...

What's in the Bear Loan Forest?

Slaughtered the city for 35 hours - Hong Kong media reported that Xiong Loanlin stayed at Kwok Fucheng's house for 35 hours...

......

Wang Xiaobo once said: All human suffering is essentially anger at one's own incompetence.

So what does "Ip Man" have to do with the little sister?

Just because Zhou Yang and Shen Mengxi are better?

Actually, after the official announcement, she was also quite uncomfortable, and the circle of friends who were familiar with her before completely closed the door to her...

Compared with her, Zhou Yang is a weak, and the weak are more likely to get everyone's support.

Or are you worried about the nature of Shen Mengxi's scumbag?

Yes, Shen Gongzi was quite a scumbag before, and before, he said when he broke up: 'You are too good to me, I am under pressure, let's break up!'

But now, he couldn't move, and he didn't really want to toss, so he patiently explained: "Who can I find in the situation at that time? Is it because she used to have a relationship with me, I can't find her?"

"I haven't been in touch with her for almost a year, "Ip Man" was filmed, and I didn't go to the scene, the producer was Zhao Jinsong..."

The young lady also regretted it a little, and hurriedly went down the slope, but she still didn't give up and asked: "Then if I quarrel with her, who will you help?"

Shen Mengxi didn't think about it: "Help you!"

“... What if I deliberately find fault?"

"So what, I've always been there to help my relatives and not take care of them..."

......

In fact, not only the young lady is worried about tomorrow's premiere, but Zhou Yang is also embarrassed...

The fact that she can get Zhang Yongcheng in "Ip Man" is completely an opportunity given by Shen Mengxi.

Otherwise, with her coffee position, popularity, and resources, it would be impossible to contact "Ip Man"...

There is still a difference between a movie café and a TV café!

There has always been a saying in the entertainment industry that "first-class stars act in movies, and second-rate stars act in TV series", and the status of movie coffee is higher than that of TV coffee has always been a common thing in the entertainment industry, after all, first-class movie coffee is easier to receive luxury jewelry endorsements and win major awards than first-class TV coffee.

Therefore, it is very difficult for many TV cafes to transform into acting in movies even if they want to...

In addition to acting, resources are also needed!

Not to mention anything else, isn't Shu Zhan popular?

What movies have you acted in?

Zhou Yang started as the female number one in "Ip Man"...

And this movie has exploded at the box office!

Regardless of whether this thing has anything to do with Zhou Yang, the showbiz is a world of success and defeat, if you become a king, you will become a winner, and if you win, you will win.

Lin Ziwei has made more than a dozen movies in those years, and has partnered with Xie Tingfeng and Guo Fucheng, but she is still confused in the film industry - none of them have a good box office.

From this point of view, Zhou Yang should of course be grateful to Shen Mengxi...

In fact, she was ready to do it...

But before she could act, her good friend couldn't wait to take the position!

So, what is my identity?

Rival in love, a third party or a matchmaker?

Zhou Yang fell into An Yixuan's doubts...

In fact, when "Ip Man 2" was released, the most excited thing was not Donnie Yen or Zhou Yang, but Hu Ge...

The character Huang Liang played by Lao Hu, the prototype character Huang Chunliang, is Bruce Lee's senior brother and one of Ip Man's most powerful apprentices.

His position in the play is quite important, and the young and vigorous Huang Liang was willing to be the first to worship under Ip Man to practice martial arts after defeating Ip Man.

The first action scene of the whole film takes place between Hu Ge and Donnie Yen, which is also Ip Man's first shot.

Next, Wong Leung, who had a burst personality, also triggered a fight between Wing Chun and Hung Fist, which extended the later story of the film...

Of course, Lao Hu is different from Brother Xiao Ming in the original time and space, at that time, Brother Xiao Ming was the first student in the mainland, so the screenwriter and director added him a lot of scenes...

There's no need for this this time...

"Ip Man 2", the second movie he participated in - "Sword Butterfly" was pushed.

Longing for the big screen...

Let's put it this way, he took five days off for this promotion!

I couldn't sleep all night, worried about whether my screen journey would be accepted by the audience, and worried about the box office...

After all, "Chasing Shadows" was released at the same time...

The publicity of "Chasing Stars" is 'new martial arts' and 'full universe release', and Xie Na is known as a new generation of comedy and laughter...

It's menacing!

What about "Ip Man 2"?

The trailer was cut in four versions, and the poster was dropped...

There is not even a variety show!

......

Why did "Ip Man 2" start filming?

As a commercial genre film, if the previous work is a big hit in the market, it is logical for the sequel to start filming!

What is Ip Man's selling point?

Character design!

Ip Man: The rich second generation, who loves his wife, understands martial arts, especially this man has deep patriotic sentiments in his heart, such a man is simply a perfect copy of a good man in the new era.

When it came to "Ip Man 2", the producer undoubtedly recognized the commercial selling point of this movie image, so in the movie "Ip Man 2", it was almost like a cat and a tiger again, except for some background changes, the structure and character settings of the whole story are actually no different from "Ip Man"...

Of course, the scene was bigger and Sammo Hung was invited to join.

Sammo Hung really adds a lot of color to his action design, especially the roundtable duel!

Saying so much, it's useless, the theater performance is the most practical: after the release of "Ip Man 2", 45% of the film schedule was directly given, "Eavesdropping", "Ouchi Secret Detective Greyhound" and "Chasing the Shadow" shared the remaining 55%...

At the premiere scene, Shen Mengxi said directly: "The box office target of "Ip Man 2" is 300 million!"
