"Ip Man 3" will be released in mainland China in March. Wong Jing said that he will shoot "Ip Man 4"

The action sequel "Ip Man 3" directed by Wilson Yip and starring Donnie Yen, Zhang Jin and Tyson has been steadily increasing its box office since its release in Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong media reports, as of yesterday (January 3), "Ip Man 3" has exceeded 40 million box office in Hong Kong. The boss Wong Jing and the leading actors Zhang Jin and Patrick Tam also went to the theater in person to thank the audience and interact with them. Wong Jing even said that he regards "You Are the Apple of My Eye", the 61 million box office champion, as his goal and hopes to break the record.

Wong Jing admitted that he was satisfied with the performance of "Ip Man 3". In addition to the good performance in Hong Kong, it also broke the highest box office record of Chinese-language films in Malaysia, the daily box office champion in Singapore, and the opening champion in Taiwan. Wong Jing also revealed that although the film will not be released in mainland China until March this year, this is the intention of the mainland distributor, who chose March as the off-season, intending that there would be no competitors in the early release period. However, Wong Jing also believes that with the support of overseas performance, the mainland box office will not be inferior.

Many industry insiders are also worried about the box office and online piracy of "Ip Man 3" due to the delay in its release in mainland China. However, referring to the previous Taiwanese film "My Girlhood", even though the film was released early in Taiwan and Hong Kong, there was a small-scale spread of pirated copies, but it still achieved good results when it was released in mainland China thanks to its good reputation.

The box office performance of Ip Man 3 has also drawn people's attention to the subsequent development of this IP. Wong Jing said that he would definitely shoot Ip Man 4, but he is not in a hurry to do it. "We will not shoot casually. We must do a good job of data collection to maintain the level. The audience has sharp eyes."

"Ip Man 3" is a box office hit. When asked if Zhang Jin, the lead actor, asked for a share of the profits, he said with a smile, "These cannot be distributed randomly, but I will ask the company to give me a red envelope." Talking about the filming of "Ip Man 3", Zhang Jin regretted not being able to fight Tyson, "I started boxing at the age of 9, but his fists are twice as big as mine, and his head is also twice as big as mine. It's a pity that I didn't fight him in this movie. His fists are really powerful, which adds a lot to this movie."
