"The successor of Wing Chun, the authentic successor of Wing Chun." Chen Kui said.
Regarding Zhang Tianzhi's inheritance, Chen Kui has basically investigated clearly. There is no prototype of Zhang Tianzhi in the real world. It is completely fictional in the movie. However, since it is in the Ip Man universe, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Tianzhi to have no past.
Although the border is now closed, there have been a large number of martial arts masters from the mainland in recent years. Zhang Tianzhi did not just pop out of a stone. He has a clear inheritance relationship. As long as there is a relationship, it is not difficult to investigate. Zhang Tianzhi is the direct descendant of Wing Chun.
, and is related to Ip Man.
"Back then, Huang Baohua passed Wing Chun on to his troupe friend Liang Erti, who in turn passed it on to Liang Zan, who was known as 'Mr. Zan'. However, Liang Zan practiced medicine throughout his life and had few apprentices, except for his two sons Liang Zan
Besides Chun and Liang Bi, there is only one disciple, Chen Huashun."
"Chen Huashun inherited Mr. Chan's career, but shifted his focus, opened a gym to recruit disciples, and taught Wing Chun. However, because he charged high fees, most of his disciples were children from wealthy families, so Wing Chun is also called 'Young Master Boxing'.
', his chief disciple Wu Zhongsu is the true inheritor of Chen Hua Shun's Wing Chun, and Master Yip is Chen Hua Shun's disciple. However, at this time, Mr. Chen was already old, so Wu Zhongsu taught Ip Man Wing Chun on his behalf.
Later, Wu Zhongsu opened his own martial arts gym and made a living by opening the gym and recruiting apprentices. Zhang Tianzhi was Wu Zhongsu's apprentice."
"So to a certain extent, Zhang Tianzhi and Master Ye were taught Wing Chun by the same person." Hong Zhennan said.
"right."
It is very common to teach skills from an acting master. In the real world history, although Bruce Lee became a disciple of Ip Man, the person who actually taught Bruce Lee Wing Chun was not the elderly Ip Man, but Wong Chun Leung, who is also known in the movie "Ip Man".
The prototype of the character played by Master Huang in "Question 2".
In addition, the two masters and disciples, Ip Man and Bruce Lee, have one thing in common. They were both frail and sick when they were young, so their families asked them to learn martial arts in order to strengthen their bodies. Later, they became masters. Huo Yuanjia seems to be the same.
in this way.
"Yes, Zhang Tianzhi is the younger brother of Zhang Ruosheng, the owner of the 'Dayi' hardware store. Both brothers are Wu Zhongsu's apprentices, but Zhang Tianzhi also learned Bajiquan for a period of time before learning Wing Chun." Chen Kui said.
This may be why Zhang Tianzhi often likes to use elbow strikes.
"Be careful yourself and don't be careless."
Five years ago, Hong Zhennan suffered a serious illness. Since then, he has hardly used martial arts. He is keen on being the king of children and occasionally takes the children to practice a few times. The current owner of Zhennan Martial Arts Gym is Chen Kui
, the president of the association also handed it over to Chen Kui four years ago. In his words, it means that he can provide for his retirement with peace of mind.
"Yeah." Chen Kui nodded. Naturally, he didn't dare to be careless. That was Zhang Tianzhi, the protagonist who could film a spin-off alone. He could be considered half the chosen one.
"By the way, this is a letter sent from the United States by that boy Zhenfan." Hong Zhennan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Kui.
Li Zhenfan, maybe many people don't know who he is, but probably everyone knows his other name - Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun under Ip Man early on. With Ip Man's permission, he also studied Hong Quan for a period of time with Chen Kui at Zhennan Martial Arts School. Chen Kui almost taught him everything he had.
The relationship between the two was that of a teacher and a friend. After going to the United States, Bruce Lee would write to Chen Kui every one or two months, firstly to talk about his current situation, and secondly to exchange some of his thoughts on martial arts and philosophy.
In the movie, Bruce Lee did not trade Cha Cha Wu and Ip Man for Wing Chun and became his disciple until shortly before Zhang Yongcheng's death. This can be regarded as the director's tribute to Bruce Lee, the master. But in this world, Bruce Lee and Ip Man have long been together.
Ip Man learned boxing and was one of his most valued disciples, otherwise he would not have introduced him to Chen Kui to learn the art.
As an additional mention, Hong Zhennan liked Bruce Lee very much. Bruce Lee suited Hong Zhennan's taste very much. In Hong Zhennan's words, he looked very much like his younger self. However, Bruce Lee scoffed at this because he did not want to become a fat man in the future.
Two years ago, Bruce Lee had already begun to think about the connection between kung fu and philosophy. However, at that time, Bruce Lee had not received systematic training in philosophy. Secondly, he had not yet mastered kung fu, and his thinking was still relatively superficial. But as he entered
Studying philosophy at the University of Washington, receiving systematic philosophical thinking training, and making progress in kung fu, Bruce Lee's thinking became more and more in-depth, and he often inspired Chen Kui a lot.
As mentioned before, there are three opponents that Chen Kui is most looking forward to: Frankie, Ip Man and Bruce Lee in their prime.
Now there is only one Bruce Lee left.
In "Ip Man 4", due to certain considerations, a certain game wielded scissors and cut out some clips, including the scene where Bruce Lee challenged the Chinese Guild Hall. It is said that Bruce Lee defeated Wan Zonghua. According to the time of the movie
, there are still four years left, by that time Bruce Lee should already be pretty good.
Chen Kui doesn't know what Bruce Lee's strength was in real history, but in this world, Bruce Lee can definitely grow into a top master in the future, especially with Chen Kui's help, Bruce Lee will grow even faster, so Chen Kui
Very much looking forward to it.
"I didn't expect that this kid could really study well after arriving in the United States. It's really strange." Hong Zhennan said with emotion. He had already read this letter. When Bruce Lee was in Hong Kong, he was not a good student.
, I often get into trouble and get poor grades, but I didn’t expect that after arriving in the United States, I felt like a completely different person.
"Because he found a field he likes." Chen Kui said with a smile.
Philosophy, in the eyes of many people, is a boring subject and useless, but in the eyes of some people, it is more attractive than anything in the world. Bruce Lee is one of the "some people". In the future, his philosophy
Thinking has also left a strong mark in history.
"Maybe, it's just that this guy actually fell in love with an American girl, and he will never come back." Hong Zhennan said.
"Uncle Third, you can go to the United States to see different scenery and see this kid by the way." Chen Kui said.
"Forget it." Hong Zhennan shook his head. He is one of those people who strongly dislikes flying. He thinks airplanes are dangerous. As for ships, with his current physical condition, he simply cannot withstand such a long period of wandering at sea.
"Ask him to come back quickly. If he doesn't come back, he won't even think about Shi Jue Fist." Hong Zhennan laughed and said, "I don't believe he won't come back."
Hearing this, Chen Kui gave Hong Zhennan a thumbs up. He had reason to believe that if Bruce Lee knew what Hong Zhennan said, he would definitely come back as soon as possible.
