Raymond Wong Pak Ming yesterday attended a soccer carnival. Wong Pak Ming revealed that he just returned from a trip to Hebei, Kaifeng and other cities with his son Edmond Wong Chi Wun to get screenplay inspiration. Since its release, IP MAN 2 had both good word of mouth and box office. Is he planning to make IP MAN 3? Wong Pak Ming pointed out that he never said anything about making a third film. Because now too many movies will be able Ip Man and Bruce Lee, he is now planning a large scale new action film that will no longer be a biography. He will also not ask Donnie Yen Chi Tan as the leading man.

Is he no longer asking Yen Chi Tan to be the lead because his salary has already risen to over 100 million? Wong Pak Ming expressed that earlier he worked with Chi Tan many times. Before IP MAN they also worked together on SEVEN SWORDS (CHUT GIM). He will not stop working with him just because his salary will be too expensive. Mainly now Chi Tan has already become very busy and he will have no time to perform.

As for IP MAN 2's box office, Wong Pak Ming pointed out that the film has already exceeded 200 million at the Mainland box office. Hong Kong's was also close to 40 million, which was better than the first. Reportedly because of IP MAN, people who wanted to study Wing Chun drastically increased. Even Master Ip Chun pointed out that teaching space was no longer sufficient so he could not accept more disciples in half a year. Wong Pak Ming pointed out that this was good as well. However, he expressed that lately he has not been in Hong Kong. The last time he saw Master Ip Chun was at the IP MAN 2 premiere. He only knew that he was satisfied with IP MAN 2.
