The real IP Man: Why did Donnie Yen and Tony Leung Chiu Wai fight for roles when the rich boy was a heavy smoker and his son turned against him after his death?

"Wing Chun, Ip Man." "I want to play ten." "There are no men who are afraid of their wives, only men who respect their wives." "Although there are high and low points, there is no poverty in human nature." ……

The four films "IP Man" left too many classic lines and too many classic fights: beating Japanese officers, searching Jinshan, beating, beating, beating ... and fighting and fighting, IP Man became a national hero.

At the same time, Donnie Yen also made a masterpiece.

Donnie Yen's acting career can be described in four words-a late bloomer, which Donnie Yen himself admits. /kloc-entered the entertainment circle at the age of 0/9, with more than 20 years of ups and downs. It was not until 2008 that Ip Man ushered in a big outbreak.

Donnie Yen must thank his mother, Bow Sim Mark, because she became a martial arts expert. Bow Sim Mark is a world-famous martial artist and teacher Tai Ji Chuan. Donnie Yen practiced martial arts in his mother's martial arts school since childhood.

But his mother is not strict with him, nor does she require the intensity of martial arts. On the contrary, she often asks him, "Do you believe in your skills when facing a sword?"

Whenever this Zen-filled sentence comes to mind, Donnie Yen can't slack off. Bow Sim Mark has a deep understanding of Tai Chi, and he has a lot of wisdom.

Later, Donnie Yen spent more than 20 years in the entertainment circle and appeared in more than 40 plays. Not only did he have no fire, but he also borrowed a lot of usury for directing the play. There was a time when my career was low, and I used smoking every day to relieve stress.

One day, Bow Sim Mark visited the class, looked at Donnie Yen who smoked decadent, and couldn't help but say, "Let me compare with you! From today, I will stop drinking tea for 30 years, and you will stop smoking for three years to see who wins. "

From that day on, Bow Sim Mark never drank tea again, and Donnie Yen couldn't escape, so he had to give up smoking.

Donnie Yen, who recovered herself, suffered from illness until she starred in Ip Man in 2008.

Second, young and frivolous, playing with birds.

Ip Man in reality may disappoint the audience: thin and shriveled, he likes to wear a white coat and a pair of small cloth shoes.

Especially after the precious video of playing wing chun boxing in his later years came out, many people will be disappointed with his slow movement, soft strength and great momentum.

Is this old man IP Man, a national hero who fought in both East and West?

Ip Man in reality is a far cry from Donnie Yen in the movie. So, what kind of person is the real IP Man?

Ip Man was born in 1899. He changed his name to Ye Yi when 1949 moved to Hong Kong, and then lied that he was born in 1893.

Ye's family is well-off, with a large family in Foshan, and Ye's family lives in Sangyuan. Mulberry garden is very big, covering a wide area, with rooms one after another, spanning several streets.

Ip Man is a famous rich second generation in the local area. /kloc-what were the rich second generation playing more than 0/00 years ago? Cockfighting and running dogs, walking birds and fighting crickets, and even smoking opium, but these Ye Wen have all played.

Ye Zhun, the eldest son of IP Man, wrote a biography describing his father as a teenager: "Young and frivolous, fooling around".

Playing with birds is fighting with birds. You walked into the Woods with a cage covered with white cloth. When the birds in the forest crow, so do the birds in the cage. When they call, they are anxious. They fight whenever they are in a hurry. Ip Man and his friends bet which bird can win and be happy.

Later, he fled to Hong Kong and hid in a friend's bird shop in Macau for some time.

Ye Wen, a teenager, is good at playing, but he also likes Wing Chun very much. At the age of seven, he studied under Chen Huashun, a disciple of Liang Zan, the king of Wing Chun Boxing. 16 years old went to Hong Kong to study, where he met Liang Bi, the eldest son of Liang Zan, and learned martial arts from him.

In the era when there was no war, Ye Wen had a leisurely time, where he could shoot birds, practice martial arts and study.

Until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army attacked Foshan, and Ip Man's mansion and fertile land were occupied. He instantly changed from a big landlord to a poor peasant, and the good days were over.

But from beginning to end, IP Man did not fight the Japanese as shown in the movie, let alone violently beat Japanese officers.

He had a conflict with the Japanese. When IP Man was studying in Japan, one day, he rode his bike instead of visiting the shrine on the roadside. Japanese police stopped him and scolded him. Hearing this, Ip Man became angry from embarrassment and punched each other, injuring the police.

The next day, a group of policemen came to the door and Ip Man was beaten. ......

Third, the national hero?

The Japanese came, but Ip Man didn't leave. But at the end of 1948, IP Man went to Hong Kong. This is IP Man's second visit to Hong Kong. It is reported that he came to take refuge.

But he only brought his eldest daughter, and his wife Zhang Yongcheng, his son Ye Zhun, Ye Zheng and his youngest daughter all stayed in Foshan.

Two years later, Zhang Yongcheng took his little daughter to join Ip Man, who was poor at that time. In order not to increase the burden, Zhang Yongcheng returned to Foshan with his Hong Kong identity card.

Since then, the couple have never met again. 1960, Zhang Yongcheng died in Foshan, accompanied by only Ye Zhun and Ye Zheng.

Ip Man lived with a Shanghai woman in Hong Kong and gave birth to his son Ye Shaohua.

In 2008, Ye Zhun worked as a consultant for the film Ip Man, and collected copyright fees. Ye Shaohua also asked for money, but Ye Zhun refused. He threatened to jump off a building.

The dragon gave birth to nine children, each with a different temperament.

In the movie, Donnie Yen portrayed Ip Man as a good man who was afraid of his wife. His wife said that "eating" is more important than anything else. Two people * * * find Jinshan together, and * * * move to Hong Kong together. Even in order not to affect Ip Man's competition, his wife didn't even say that she had cancer.

Love is stronger than gold in movies, but it is not so beautiful in reality. Therefore, Ye Zhun, Ye Zheng and Ye Wen, who accompanied their mother through the last journey, did not have deep feelings.

1962, they came to Hong Kong to take refuge in their father, but they went out to work early every morning and came home late. When they got home, they rarely communicated with Ip Man. The communication between father and son is limited to learning martial arts.

In Hong Kong, Ip Man founded a martial arts school, taking Liang Xiang, the chairman of the hotel trade union who loves martial arts, as his apprentice, and based on the trade union workers, he expanded his career of opening museums and teaching apprentices:

Bruce Lee, Liang Ting, Zhou Guangyao, Huang Chunliang, Luo Yao, Xu Shangtian ... The future masters are all disciples of Ip Man.

Wing Chun Boxing began in Yan Yongchun, originated in Liang Zan, spread to Ye Wen and flourished in Liang Ting. Ip Man deserves to be a great master.

However, this master is lacking in personal virtue. Apart from the collapse of a good man, his biggest black spot is smoking opium.

After living with a Shanghai woman, Ip Man contracted opium, and Liang and his apprentice couldn't stand it. They jointly wrote a letter to exhort him. Ip Man not only refused to listen, but also ordered Liang Xiang to pack up and leave the martial arts school.

It was not until Ye Zhun and Ye Zheng came to Hong Kong that Ye Wen gradually quit opium.

Why are the films of Ip Man series so good? In addition to strong movements, the core of the film is to resist foreign invasion and strengthen the nation, and Ip Man is portrayed as a national hero.

"Ip Man 1" has two lines of subtitles at the end: "Ip Man refused to yield to the Japanese threat and used his fist to arouse the unity of the people of China".

But is IP Man really a national hero?

Apart from the conflict with the Japanese police, we have not found any other historical materials about his beating the Japanese for the time being.

On the contrary, why was IP Man told to take refuge in Hong Kong at the end of 1948? The reason is that he served as the captain of the Kuomintang investigation team. China was founded 1949, and Ip Man left Foshan considering his identity.

Ip Man may not be as tall and clever as Donnie Yen.

In 2008, not only Huang Baiming, Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen, but also Wong Kar-wai and Tony Leung Chiu Wai are planning to shoot Ip Man.

The two sides of the theme car accident swore at each other through the media: Wong Kar-wai "directly criticized Huang Baiming for violating the rules" and criticized "Donnie Yen is excellent, but there is a gap with Tony Leung Chiu Wai's acting skills, which is obvious to all".

Donnie Yen responded: "I think to play a generation of masters, I believe it is necessary to have some accomplishments in martial arts, not as simple as acting." .

Later, the audience saw IP Man series movies with good reputation and good box office, and also saw a generation of masters who won numerous awards.

On the one hand, a generation of grandmasters were snapped up by Huang Baiming and Wong Kar-wai, and on the other hand, opium addicts were jointly persuaded by disciples. As the line of "A Generation of Masters" said: "People live in this world, some people live as faces, and some people live as linings".

Ip Man put away his lining and lived out his face.
