介绍:
"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II: Sword of Destiny" opened today in Chinese theaters.
Directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, the sequel to Ang Lee's 2000 martial arts classic is set 20 years after the events of the first movie.
Unlike actress Michele Yeoh who reprised her original character as Yu Shu Lien, lead actor Donnie Yen has played a new role named Meng Sizhao, the silent wolf in the film.
Yuen was the action director to Donnie Yen's first martial art film 30 years ago. To Yen, he's always the mentor who helped him start his career.
And this time, it was also Yuen that helped him make up his mind about joining the project.
"Actually, the team had been inviting me for years to join the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 project, but I just can't make up my mind before they decide on the director. To me, the name itself is like a brand already, since the first one was such a success, with an Oscar award. I felt challenged to provide my best performance in the movie, especially without director Ang Lee this time. But then, the producer says my teacher is going to direct, that's what change my mind."
The whole movie was shot in English to better present traditional Chinese culture and art on the international stage.
Before the big release today, the movie had already received wide praise from its world premiere on Tuesday.
