Great movie fighter from China Danny Chan for more than 20 years in the film business, and yet, it would seem, just recently Danny portrayed the legendary Bruce Lee in films like "Shaolin Football" (2001) "The Legend of Bruce Lee" (2008) and "Ip Man 3" (2015). True, in the fourth film, Chan no longer looked like a “green” Dragon under a layer of makeup.
However, in the wake of his popularity, Danny manages to star in both major projects and films of a lower level - directly for online cinemas. One of these was a hand-to-hand crime thriller "Quan Dao: A Boxer's Journey" (Quan Dao: A Journey of a Boxer) by debutant director William So.
The plot will center on a disgraced kickboxer who is forced to fall into the very bottom of a street gang whose members crippled his friend and the girl’s brother.
Besides Danny Chan (“Romantic Warrior”, “Kung Fu League”), took part in the film Ashina Kwok (“Only you alone”), Pierre Ngo (“The brave man is not afraid of anything”), Dominic Lam (series “Double Castling”) and others.
By VIP subscription "The Boxer's Journey" can be obtained on the Chinese service QIYI with November 25 2020 years. We hope the film will reach us with translation.
Another martial arts master, as well as an action film actor - Vincent Zhao, is finally entering the home stretch with his directorial debut.
We are talking about a military action movie called "Counterattack" (Counter Attack) which we are talking about already mentioned. He recently presented his project at the international film festival Hainan International Film Festival, which, of course, took place online.
Zhao will play in the film security expert Lu Zimin, hired to monitor the security of negotiations on the construction of an oil and gas plant. However, things go awry, and Zimin is betrayed by his own comrades in the military profession, and now he not only must save his life, but also find out the reason for the betrayal.
With Vincent Zhao (“Udan”, dilogy “Alliance of Heroes”) in the action movie caste are: Song Hanhuan ("Defenders") Jiang Yiyi (TV series "Son-in-Law"), Lu Peng ("Save Mr. Wu") Diego Dati (“Vanguard: Arctic Wolves”) and other actors.
Date and location of the premiere "Counterattacks" is still unknown, but everywhere they write that the film will be released in 2021. But also about "Invisible tattoo" they wrote this way with Vincent Zhao and David Bel, but the film has not been released for several years. Well, let's hope.
What definitely happened with Zhao in the title role is another series, the star of which he has been since the mid-90s.
We are talking about a series from QIYI called "Heroes" (Heroes), in which Vincent again played the role of the Chinese folk hero Huo Yuanjia... Actually, "Heroes" are an ideological continuation of the series "Fearless" with him in the leading role.
In the new season, Ho, out of patriotism and concern for the population of his country, moves to Shanghai, occupied by the Japanese and Europeans. Yuanjia will have to fight not only the insolent Japanese invaders, but also his own demons and even cowardice, after witnessing how his friends from the movement for the revival of China, known as the “Six Heroes,” were trapped and killed.
Along with Zhao, the cast includes: Nikita Mao (TV series "Fearless"), Ashton Chen ("Monster Hungter") Jia Hongwei (“War of the Wolves”), as well as a legend of Chinese combat cinema Bruce Leung (“Showdown in Kung Fu Style”).
All episodes of the series "Heroes" are already available online.
