Ng Kin Ho danced for the audience and demonstrated a little kung fu dance. Wu Yuen practiced Tai Chi to thank the audience for their support.

As Chi Tan's final kung fu film, Chi Tan hoped the audience would continue to support it. "IP MAN 4 is the most difficult movie I have ever made, from the action scene to the dramatic scene it had to be to its best. I didn't want to disappoint the audience after ten years of support and love from them." Chi Tan even thanked mentor Lord Eight for bringing him into the business over 30 years ago. Lord Eight also said that Chi Tan's achievements today still required Chi Tan's effort, then even praised the director for handling the dramatic scenes very well as he completely connected them with the action scenes.

Actually this is the firs time I have worked with such a mighty team, only when I saw the movie did I finally believe that I was a part of it!"

In addition, Lee Yuen Tan (Vanda Margraf) in IP MAN 4 played an all new important character Man Yeuk Nam. In the film Man Yeuk Nam served as both "the problem" and "the solution".

I really like her personality, it is rather powerful." She hoped that Yeuk Nam would provide everyone strength and courage to face adversity directly.
