Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen
Currently in post-production, Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen is one of Asia’s most highly-anticipated late summer releases.
Synopsis: A patriotic hero taken for dead for years suddenly reappears disguised as a wealthy entrepreneur to pull together an intricate plan of vigilante justice against the enemies of the people.
Director: Andrew Lau
Writer: Gordon Chan, Cheung Chi Sing
Producers: Chan and Lau are producing with Peter Lam (Media Asia), Wang Changtian (Enlight Pictures) and Ren Zhonglun (Shanghai Film Group) as executive producers.
Cast: Donnie Yen, Shu Qi, Anthony Wong, Huang Bo
Budget: US$12m
Financing: Hong Kong’s Media Asia Films is co-financing with Beijing-based Enlight Pictures and Shanghai Film Media Asia, which is a joint venture between Media Asia, Shanghai Film Group and Beijing Guoli Changsheng Films.
Language: The film was shot in both Mandarin and Cantonese-language versions.
Countries of Production: Hong Kong, China
Status: Post-production
Release date: September 23
Chinese folk hero Chen Zhen was first played on film by Bruce Lee in the 1972 Fist Of Fury and has since appeared in several Hong Kong movies and TV series. This latest portrayal was initiated by Hong Kong film-maker Gordon Chan and action star Donnie Yen who had both worked with the character before – Chan directed Fist Of Legend in 1994, starring Jet Li, and Yen starred in 1995 hit TV series Fist Of Fury. After conceiving the project, they approached Andrew Lau, co-director of the Infernal Affairs trilogy, to direct.
Initially created by Hong Kong writer Ni Kuang, Chen Zhen is widely believed to be a student of real-life martial artist Huo Yuanjia, but there is no proof he ever existed. In Bruce Lee’s portrayal in Fist Of Fury, the character avenges the murder of his master by Japanese martial arts students in early 20th century Shanghai.
“Chen Zhen is a cultural hero who fights to defend the honour of the Chinese,” explains Lau. “He has a huge influence on Chinese audiences. His heroic image is widely praised and many people even believe that Chen Zhen is a real person in history.”
Legend Of The Fist picks up seven years after Chen Zhen avenged his master’s death, although the hero is presumed to be dead as he went down in a hail of bullets after meting out justice. He returns to Shanghai disguised as an entrepreneur and befriends a local mafia boss. Donning a cape at night, he sets out to uncover the collusion between the Japanese and the Shanghai mafia and also get his hands on an assassination list prepared by the Japanese.
“The biggest challenge was how to re-imagine this well-known character while not repeating what has been filmed in previous remakes and adaptations,” says Lau. Unlike Bruce Lee’s Chen Zhen who was uneducated, Yen’s Chen Zhen has returned to China after fighting in the First World War in France and is more mature and romantic.
Media Asia boarded the project while Chan, Lau and Yen were developing the storyline. “As we’re focusing not only on the mainland China market, but also the international market, we believe Media Asia is the best partner,” says Lau. The Hong Kong company then brought on board mainland co-producers, which is the usual route for all big-budget Hong Kong films aimed at the mainland market. Shooting started in November 2009 in Songjiang outside Shanghai and wrapped in February.
For international buyers who may not be familiar with the character of Chen Zhen, the film’s selling points are the high-octane action scenes and the talent involved. While Lau co-directed the Infernal Affairs series, Chan is renowned for combining action with strong characterisation and has credits including King Of Beggars and Beast Cop. Yen, who also serves as the film’s action director, is currently Chinese cinema’s hottest action star with credits including Ip Man, Ip Man 2 and Bodyguards And Assassins. In addition to practising wushu, he is also a combat fighting expert, and in Legend Of The Fist has integrated combat into wushu to create a new martial arts style.
“Yen is a perfectionist who always plans all the scenes in advance, but he also gets injured often,” Lau says when asked about Yen’s working methods. “No CGI is used in any of the action scenes. Action scenes tend to take a long time to complete, but with Yen’s good planning and cooperation with us, the shooting process was very smooth.”
The film is scheduled to roll out in Chinese-speaking territories on September 23 in the run-up to China’s National Day holidays. Media Asia has already pre-sold it to around 20 territories including North America (Well Go USA), UK (Metrodome), France (TF1), Germany (Splendid), Israel (United King) and Aus/NZ (Dream Movies).

Chen Zhen set for Venice heroics
Festival News
Donnie Yen (甄子丹) starring picture Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (精武風雲) has been set as the second film on the opening night of the Venice film festival (1-11 Sept, 2010).
It will play out of competition in recognition that 2010 marks the 70th anniversary of the birth of Bruce Lee (李小龍).
The film, directed by Andrew Lau (劉偉強), is the third in a series featuring Chen Zhen who started his heroics in Lee-starring Fist of Fury (精武門) and was reprised by Jet Li in 1994 title Fist of Legend (精武英雄).
“In this latest version of Chen Zhen, I strived to break out from the shadow of its predecessors by aiming at a genuine breakthrough in the balance of action and drama, in costume and set designs, and in action choreography,” said Lau in a prepared statement.
Set in a Shanghai nightclub, the film sees Chen disguised as a masked warrior at night on a mission to thwart the imminent Japanese invasion by rescuing as many people as he can from an “assassination list.”
Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen also stars Shu Qi (舒淇), Anthony Wong (黃秋生) and Huang Bo (黃渤).

Synopsis
While China is traumatized by military cliques during the Warlord Era in the 1920s, Japan has grown into the most powerful foreign national group there, taking over much of Northern Shanghai. Although the city is being torn by international settlements, the upscale cabaret nightclub Casablanca remains a haven for a mishmash of clientèles who hobnob every night till the sun comes up: Chinese entrepreneurs, British officials, Japanese militaries, and spies who desperately seek to overthrow the growing Japanese power in China.
Everybody comes to Casablanca for a reason, including the mustachioed entrepreneur Ku and the sultry singsong girl Kiki. Ku is none other than the legendary hero Chen Zhen in incognito, who single-handedly avenged his mentor’s death by killing all the Japanese at a dojo in Hongkou years ago. Although rumor has it that he had been killed by the Japanese, he actually escaped to France to fight side by side with other Chinese laborers in contribution to the Allied war effort.
Disguised as a masked warrior at night, Chen now sets out to thwart the imminent Japanese invasion by rescuing as many people as he can from Japan’s “assassination list.” He soon finds himself inextricably enamored with Kiki who is harboring a dangerous secret of her own. When Chen finds out that the Japanese colonel in charge of the Japanese invasion is the son of the Judo master he has killed in the Hongkou dojo, his past inevitably catches up with him, as national pride fueled by personal vendetta guarantees the fiercest final showdown.

Re: Legend/Return of Chen Zen (you absolutely need to see th
Jingwu Fengyun - Chen Zhen by Andrew Lau is the second opening night film
The movie will be screened (Out of Competition) on September 1st
The new film by Andrew Lau Jingwu fengyun – Chen Zhen (Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen), the ideal third episode in the saga of Chen Zhen, the hero brought to the screen by Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury (1972) is the second film on the opening night (Out of Competition), on the occasion of the anniversary of Bruce Lee’s 70th birthday.
The 67th Venice International Film Festival will take place on the Lido from September 1st to 11th 2010, directed by Marco Mueller and organized by la Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta.
Jingwu fengyun – Chen Zhen (Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen) by Andrew Lau, boasts an all-star cast, in addition to superstar Donnie Yen in the role of Chen Zhen, with actors such as the divine Shu Qi, the “Hong Kong Dana Andrews” Anthony Wong and the new comedy star from continental China Huang Bo. Jingwu fengyun – Chen Zhen will be shown in its world premiere screeningin the Sala Grande (Palazzo del Cinema) Wednesday September 1 at 10:00 p.m. for the audience and for all accredited visitors to the Venice Film Festival. Written by Gordon Chan and produced by the Chinese production company Media Asia Films, the film will be distributed internationally by Media Asia Distribution.
For the 70th anniversary of the birth of Bruce Lee, born in 1940, Jingwu Fengyun brings back to the screen the martial arts hero Chen Zhen, the character interpreted by the unforgettable Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury (1972) by Wei Lo, and later by Jet Li in Fist of Legend (1994) by Gordon Chan. Unlike the previous reincarnations of Chen Zhen, in this episode the classic kung-fu film adds an original blend of elements from the spy and super-hero series. This is the new work by Andrew Lau, one of the most famous directors of the Hong Kong film genre, director of Initial D, (presented in 2005 at the Venice Film Festival) and of the legendary trilogy Infernal Affairs, which was the basis for the Hollywood remake The Departed by Martin Scorsese.
Andrew Lau, the director, states: “Chen Zhen was originally a character played by Bruce Lee in the 1972 film, Fist of Fury. This character soon became everyone’s hero, propelling Bruce Lee to international stardom. As a film director, I found it tremendously difficult to tackle this 2010 version of Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen was played by Bruce Lee in 1972, by Jet Li in 1994, and now by Donnie Yen in 2010. How to portray this character in our new generation became the greatest challenge for Gordon Chan, Donnie Yen, and me. And this had to be the greatest trial in my entire career as a cineaste. In this latest version of Chen Zhen, I strived to break out from the shadow of its predecessors by aiming at a genuine breakthrough in the balance of action and drama, in costume and set designs, and in action choreography. Otherwise, there is no point remaking the story. Lastly, 2010 happens to be the 70th birthday of Bruce Lee. I would like to pay tribute to the legendary superstar by making Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen a great film”.
