Film star Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Max Zhang Jin, Mike Tyson, Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Chan Kwok Kwan starred in the film IP MAN 3, which was a commercial and critical hit in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places. Two days ago it held its Beijing premiere and attracted many Mainland media outlets and guests. Chi Tan and Mike Tyson exchanged gifts. Tyson presented him with boxing gloves and Chi Tan presented Bart Cham Dao to represent the film in exchange. Mike Tyson made faces to cheer up the crowd and kept using Putonghua to say "I love you" to the guests in the audience.

Action director Yuen Woo Ping shared the production experience on the stage with Zhang Jin. He praised Chi Tan for being completely in character. Zhang Jin who did not know Wing Chun at all started from zero and gave a full score performance that he was rather pleased with.

Meanwhile Chan Kwok Kwan rushed back halfway through the premiere to Hong Kong after learning that his wife Emme Wong Yee Man was about to give birth. He flew back to Hong Kong overnight and rushed to the hospital. "I am very excited. His name is Chan Chun (Chen Zhen)."

Raymond Wong Pak Ming led the team to the cinema to show appreciation to the audience. When asked if he would make this genre of films again, Yen Chi Tan suggested IP MAN 4: HAPPY GHOST and cracked up the crowd.

Group Twins earlier performed the promotional song DAY AND NIGHT (TIN TIN YEH YEH) for the AngelaBaby and Ethan Juan (Yuen King Tin) starred Emperor film KILL TIME (MAU SAT CHI SHUI NIN WA), the music video of which recently has been released online. Some commented onine, "Ah Sa performs the theme song for AngelaBaby's film? Ah Sa is very gracious! She even helps AngelaBaby with the promotion."

The film company said that director Fruit Chan Gor brought the collaboration together. Twins decided to participate due to the director's sincere invitation and said that some online were overly sensitive.

Chan Gor added many classic hits from late singers Teresa Tang Lai Kwan, Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, Anita Mui Yim Fong and Beyond. He felt that the film title actually also referred to the passing of these singers before their time. Twins felt that for the theme song the relationship in the film was a bond that time could not described.

JM also revealed that in her new film NESSUN DORMA (HUNG SAU WAN MEI SHUI) co-star Lam Ka Tung slapped her so hard that she ended up on her back. Ka Tung said, "As soon as I slapped her she did a 360 and fell to the floor. I was very scared! After hitting her she couldn't stop cry and had fingerprints on her face. Luckily we only needed one take!" Best Supporting Actor nominee Ah Chung said that he had no confidence to win. When asked if he would organize a concert for his 35th anniversary of his career, Ah Chung said that organizers have approached him but earlier when they applied for the Hong Kong Coliseum they were not approved.

The Donnie Yen Chi Tan starred Hong Kong film IP MAN 3 recently officially opened in the Mainland and made 350 million RMB over two days. Chi Tan admitted that he would pick up the pace for IP's international distribution. Recently busy with his Hollywood film he has begun his hellish training to keep up with co-star Vin Diesel.

For IP's official Mainland release, Chi Tan took time off from the XXX 3 production to promote in China. Yesterday he again appeared at the Hangzhou press conference and visited 4 cinemas to meet with fans. IP in 16 hours already made over 100 million RMB, after two days in release it reached 350 million RMB. Chi Tan was rather pleased with the results.

Chi Tan said, "I am very happy that so many viewers have shown their support. I always say that the audience has to like a movie for it to work. Honestly, this time IP's release date isn't all that great, I never expected that viewers would still remember to support the film at the movies despite work or school. I feel this good result is probably due to a group of loyal fans that IP MAN has already accumulated and the really great word of mouth. (What would you expect the Mainland box office will be?) I don't dare to say, but from the trend it shouldn't have a hard time with over 1 billion RMB. Today in Hangzhou, a 60 something granny came to support me after a several hour long car ride. She said that she has admired me for many years and I was very touched."

Speaking of IP MAN 4's preparation, Chi Tan said, "It definitely won't take as long as IP 3's preparation. Later I will grab director (Wilson) Yip Wai Shun and producer (Raymond) Wong Pak Ming to sit down and talk. I hope IP 4's distribution will be more international and attract more Chinese and overseas fans." Reportedly IP 4 plans to start production in the middle of next year for a second half of 2018 release. The story is already being looked at.

Chi Tan had to lose weight to play his character in IP 3, but for XXX 3 he had to work out for his special agent role. Speaking of this hellish training, Chi Tan said, "It's very hard to tell you the entire process, everyday I have to get rid of water, grease and waste. Actually working out isn't the toughest part. Instead for IP 3 I had to deliberate slim down, that's really tough because I like to eat."

After finish IP 3's Mainland promotion, he will fly for over 30 hours to the Dominican Republic to continue work on XXX 3. "Lately I am used to taking flights, I will take advantage of the time to do some homework, study the script and watch movies for review."

ShiFang Holding Limited invested heavily on IP MAN 3's Mainland box office right, so its president Shi Jianxiang and CEO Tsui Siu Ming were excited. Tsui Siu Ming estimated that the film will pass HK$ 500 million in three days. "The box office and the word of mouth have proven Shi Jianxiang and my unique insight, as we successfully targeted the Mainland film market's enormous potential and started the new generation of film distribution format with 'internet+film+financing'."

Shi Jianxiang said, "Nowadyas for a film to have a box office breakthrough, it must use the internet's 'instantenious" advantage and financial concepts. When the capital market is allowed to merge with the film industry then it is able to have a breakthrough. The high quality of the film itself is also key."

Its poster design due to blood and violence did not pass the censors' inspection. Earlier the censors replied with over 10 corrections that the poster would be required to make, but the film company worried that after the changes it would lose the film's selling point completely. Thus it decided against making the changes. The poster will only appear overseas. Director Fire Lee (For For) described this film as the most absurd dark comedy of the past decade and praised Tsang Kwok Cheung for a convincing portrayal of wasted youth. Lam Suet played a funny and cool convenience store manager. He walked around after being stabbed with a pair of scissors, which gave people belly ache from laughing.
