Shi hopes that the introduction of Tyson can further facilitate the cultural exchange between China and U.S., especially in the film industry. He's going to have some intense fighting scenes with Donnie Yen. Tyson is set to have a significant role in Ip Man 3, playing a property developer who also happens to be a street fighter. I feel like I'm not only publishing a movie, but carrying forward the Chinese spirit as well." "This year marks the 70 th anniversary of World War II, and the 110 th of the founding of the Chinese film industry.
"The movie also conveys the spirit of emotion and justice," said Shi. But in the opinion of Shi, the movie is not just a story. Ip Man 3 focuses on the master-student relationship between Ip Man and Bruce Lee. One of his most famous pupils was Bruce Lee, who later developed his own discipline, Jeet Kune Do. Ip Man (1893-1972) was a Chinese martial artist who popularized the practice of Wing Chun, a discipline specialized in close-range combat. After talking with Tyson, I also found him warm and loyal to friends. "I think of myself as macho, generous and bold, just like those novel characters. "I like d reading martial art s novels when I was a little child, and have been fascinated with Kong Fu since then," said Shi. Tyson said he's a big fan of Ip Man and has watched the first two movies more than three times each. According to Shi, Tyson decided to come aboard right after a conversation with him on a Chinese Kong Fu movi e earlier this year, when Shi was invited to Los Angeles for the Oscar s and investment opportunities with Paramount Pictures.
