Dismantling the fight scene between Ye Wen and Tyson in "Ip Man 3"
is also the biggest challenge ever for Master Ye, and even Donnie Yen himself. In terms of real combat ability, there is no need to say that there is zero chance of winning, so just from Let's analyze the "Battle of the Century" with the action design in the film. First of all, Tyson's acting skills are better than expected. This may be related to the fact that he has experienced too many worldly ways. There is no trace of a boxer in the face of the camera, you know. , Many professional athletes are more sensitive to camera shooting, and it is difficult to play their due state, not to mention the action scenes to be coordinated. For Tyson's action design, of course, his boxing skills are the main focus. The duel with Ye Wen started when he started hitting the speed ball. Boxing trains the precision and control of the fist through the speed ball. For Tyson, this is almost a commonplace thing, so the fight is very natural, and Master Ye’s signature The action is to slowly raise both hands, posing a posture of Wing Chun guarding the center line.
Martial Arts Instructor Yuan Heping gave "Ip Man 3" a new theme
As soon as the fight started, a straight punch came in, Ye Wen seemed to block it with his hand, and then flew out by himself. Indeed, facing the heavy punch of a professional heavyweight boxer, the physique of an average Asian is difficult to resist. So Ip Man started to change his tactics. Several punches and angle-changing attacks didn't work. Tyson used the boxer's flexible footwork and shaking to easily avoid Ip Man's attack. Chun's Japanese character punches straight forward, saving time, but Wing Chun's attacking power and movement route are difficult to knock down the opponent in a single shot, and boxing's uppercuts and backhands have straight punches. The effect of the final touch, so in terms of the attack power of the boxing technique alone, boxing has the upper hand, and although the speed of the straight line may be relatively faster, the abdominal uppercuts behind the boxer can often reach the frequency of three punches per second. Very scary, what Tyson was best at back then was to dodge the opponent's attack with a V-shaped shake and then hit the opponent with a left hook, so this time, a lot of abdominal attacks were also added to the action design, and Master Ye was frequently hit. abdomen. In order to strengthen the effect of Tyson's boxing, the eighth master Yuan Heping also used a bridge similar to the battle of Jinlou in "The Grandmaster". Kai, Brother Yong smashed the bottles one after another, and this time Tyson smashed the windows one after another, showing great strength and impact.
Straight lines and arcs can be said to be the theme of the contest between Ip Man and Tyson, as well as the theme of Wing Chun and boxing. Those who could have restrained the opponent's hands, arms, and bows are only tired in the face of unreasonable strength. In order to cope, in the end, Ye Wen, who was in a hurry, resorted to Wing Chun's low-stakes kung fu. In traditional boxing, low-stakes is a move that greatly tests the practitioner's skill. Those with insufficient skill often use low-stakes routines. He couldn't bear it twice, and Ye Wen chose this method just to see that the boxer's attack below the waist and abdomen was almost zero, so he avoided real punches to restrain his opponent. Sure enough, Tyson was limited by one move. , but to win, he still had to destroy his strongest weapon - his fist, so Ye Wen turned his palm into an elbow and used the same defensive method, but the point of defense was shifted to the tip of his elbow to meet Tyson's combined punch attack. After a few punches, Tyson's fist couldn't take it anymore, Ye Wen seized the opportunity, and when he was fighting closely, he was in danger of being knocked out. Tyson's arm slipped out of his hand, and a mark stabbed Tyson in the eye. Victory in danger, draw with opponents, and draw a successful conclusion to the competition.
Eighth Master Yuan Heping's action design is worthy of being world-class, making reasonable use of the action characteristics of each actor, and making it as clear as possible the action line and logic, the audience can understand, and Donnie Yen's action talent plus Tyson Years of experience as a professional boxer can naturally create sparks when combined The theme, the results proved that this showdown was successful and exciting, and its contribution to Chinese action films should not be underestimated!
