Donnie Yen said he was going to say goodbye to kung fu movies. Why did he choose not to make a kung fu film when he was famous for kung fu?

Donnie Yen wants to bid farewell to Kung Fu movies for many reasons. Most people agree that he is too old to play, and there is actually another important reason for the decline of kung fu movies. Therefore, Donnie Yen, who is famous for his kung fu movies, decided not to accept the contract of kung fu movies.

In 1960s, Donnie Yen was born into a martial arts family in Guangdong. He came to Hong Kong at the age of 2 and immigrated to the United States at the age of1/kloc-0. Donnie Yen's mother is an internationally renowned martial artist and teacher of Artest's biography. Influenced by her family, she was exposed to China Kung Fu and western boxing, which laid a solid foundation for her martial arts.

When he was young, Donnie Yen liked kung fu movies very much, and even imitated martial arts routines in private. He was even deeply influenced by Bruce Lee, and he liked free fighting very much. Seeing that Donnie Yen was addicted to fighting, his mother sent him to Beijing Shichahai Sports School for two years. Donnie Yen once became the first non-mainland student to receive training.

In the early 1980s, Donnie Yen began to set foot on the big screen. Later in the late 1980s, he was introduced to Yuan Heping, a famous director and martial arts director at that time, and started a long-term cooperation with Yuan Heping. Because Donnie Yen's movements are clean, full of power and appreciation, and his appearance is good, he soon became the darling of action movies.

At the end of the 20th century, from 265438 to the beginning of the 20th century, Donnie Yen began to set foot in martial arts instruction and directing, and started his road to winning prizes. In this film, there are some familiar names, such as Huang Feihong, Ip Man, Thousand Machine Changes, Killing Wolves, Fuse, Jason Wu Fengyun and so on. Let Donnie Yen once become the leader of action movies after Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Recently, at the press conference of IP Man 4, Donnie Yen made it clear that IP Man 4 is and will be his last kung fu film. Donnie Yen thinks that he has made enough kung fu movies and hopes to explore other types of movies. Donnie Yen has made 78 films in 37 years, and we can see his sharp skills and decorative movements in the films. But in fact, Donnie Yen is 56 years old, and acting in dangerous and fierce kung fu movies at such an old age is beyond his ability.

Moreover, traditional kung fu movies have gradually declined in today's society. In today's fast-paced society, people pursue visual wonders and stimulate the secretion of adrenaline. Traditional Kung Fu movies have been difficult to find a foothold in the market, the theme is old-fashioned, and the audience feels tired. Therefore, Donnie Yen chose to retreat from the torrent and chose not to shoot a kung fu film after filming Ip Man.
