Special feature of 1905 film network Two days before the interview, Donnie Yen had just finished the publicity in Hong Kong and Taiwan and rushed to Beijing to prepare for the premiere. After the end of this wave of publicity, he will immediately rush back to the United States and join the Mulan crew that just started.
Donnie Yen, 55, is still so busy, and at the same time he is very busy.
Even Jing Wong, the director who participated in hundreds of plays, lamented that "Master Brother" had Donnie Yen as the producer, which made him extremely "leisure".
On the eve of this interview, the staff privately informed Donnie Yen in advance that he was cold due to various rushing events and might not be in a good state. But during the whole interview, he kept a very professional state, especially when talking about his children, his eyes were shining and he talked endlessly.
At this time, Donnie Yen, like every ordinary father, tried hard to pursue the growth of his children. "Although I am often not in Hong Kong, I often video with my children. As long as I am in Hong Kong, I will go to their school activities and try to communicate with them as much as possible. "
However, the 14-year-old daughter has entered adolescence, and some words are not willing to take the initiative to chat with Donnie Yen. "I can only force her to say more, but she has a lot of girlish topics now, and I am really not good at it."
Therefore, in recent years, Donnie Yen sometimes thinks about his daughter when he takes the show. He admits that he took Mulan because of his daughter; Or they prefer to pick up some educational movies, hoping to use movies to convey positive energy, and the same is true of this "Master Brother".
In the interview, Xiao Dianjun couldn’t help teasing Donnie Yen, "So you are a typical’ daughter slave’". Donnie Yen quickly refused, "I love my son very much, but the same love is handled in different ways."
At the moment, his face is full of spoil.
No, Mulan did it for her daughter.
For many young viewers, when it comes to Donnie Yen, the first thing that comes to mind is series. This time, in the movie "Master Brother", he returned to fashion action movies after many years, and also served as a film producer. In fact, it was a big challenge for him.
"Because this is a campus film, I need a lot of young students to play the role, and at the same time I hope to find some new faces, so that I can be in the purest state. Therefore, we have spent several months training these newcomers and even modifying the scripts for the actors we found. "
However, for him, this shooting is a very happy thing, "fulfilling my wish for many years."
"I’ve always wanted to make an educational film. I hope to shoot a story that really happened in school. Because I think campus can express the importance of learning, everyone has been a student, so the story that happened on campus is the most appropriate. "
This time in "Master Brother", "I want to talk about students’ running-in with teachers and parents. I also hope that through my little experience, I can give you an opportunity to discuss some student problems around us through this movie."
Although the film took place in Hong Kong, the educational issues involved in the film actually apply to every region.
"I’m actually choosing a film to highlight positive energy". Throughout the interview, Donnie Yen has been emphasizing "educational" and "positive energy", which is totally attached to Mr. Chen in the film.
Donnie Yen couldn’t help but blow himself up. "I don’t like movies like Chasing the Dragon. It’s really depressing, and it’s hard for you to convey positive information in that kind of movie." In fact, at the beginning, in order to get Donnie Yen to take over "Chasing the Dragon", the director flew to Toronto to invite him. At that time, Donnie Yen once said, then take it, but he only performed it once.
"However, fortunately," Chasing the Dragon "finally delivered something positive."
It can be seen that Donnie Yen is willing to put many social propositions in movies as much as possible.
In Master Brother, Xiao Dianjun was deeply impressed by a setting. The female student played by Jingyun Li is treated differently by her parents from her younger brother. However, the teacher played by Donnie Yen came forward to break the barrier between father and daughter and let her find the love of her parents when she was a child.
"Men and women should be equal", which is consistent with Donnie Yen’s own education view. It is also the case that he specially accepted the highly regarded film Mulan.
"It promotes a very important modern message, that is, equality between men and women. I think that’s very important, especially because I have a daughter, and then I am very supportive. Many girls made by boys can do it. " Donnie Yen thought for a moment. "Frankly speaking, I took this play for my daughter."
Helping my daughter idolize, I turned out to be their idol.
Today, my daughter is 14 years old, and like all young people of this age, she has her favorite idol. "Many concerts, I have to pull relationships for my daughter."
"Can you imagine? A concert, we sit in the front row. Later, I found that I was the oldest in the whole concert, and I was the only one who didn’t dance with them. It was very funny. However, as an old parent, I have to do this, and I will be happy if she is happy. " It sounds like Donnie Yen is very helpless, but his tone is quite happy.
My daughter likes the idol men’s team BTS (BTS). "I was looking for ways to help her get backstage. Later, many friends asked me if I was going to see that BTS. "Donnie Yen shook his head." But it’s very interesting. Koreans actually like China’s martial arts movies. "
"So the staff over there are all my fans. I shot all the way backstage, from their bodyguards to assistants, and there were many of them, and I took hundreds of pictures. Later, when I met BTS, they had to take a photo with me first, and finally my daughter took a photo with others. "
Donnie Yen accompanied her daughter to the concert.
"In fact, it has really been like this since childhood." Donnie Yen couldn’t help humming her daughter’s favorite theme song Let it go a few years ago.
"We used to take her to America to watch a stage play. It’s already twelve o’clock at night. I know my daughter likes it, so I will follow the crowd to a crowded space and ask for that signature and photo. " It’s hard for Xiao Dianjun to imagine the martial arts superstar in front of him, shouting the artist’s name and asking for his signature in the fan base for his daughter.
At that time, Donnie Yen was not a superstar, but had only one identity, and that was "Dad".
Donnie Yen and his family.
July 27th this year is Donnie Yen’s 55th birthday, but he can only spend it in the crew because of filming. However, my daughter still sends blessings from a distance on social platforms.
Daughter’s social platform blessing
When Donnie Yen herself baked the cake for the crew at the Weibo, he said, "Although I hope to spend it with my wife Wang Shishi and children tomorrow … .. ",always thinking about family in my heart.
For Donnie Yen, who is busy all the year round, the most enjoyable time is to go home for dinner. "Talking about what happened today, knowing how the children spent their time at school, and joking, this is the most relaxed and relaxing moment."
"So, what do you usually say to the children the most?" Xiao Dianjun looked at the loving father in front of him and not only raised this question.
"I miss you, I love you, certainly this is the most. Because it is too deep to express feelings for children, how can we express them? If it’s just action and she can’t feel love at once, I’ll tell her directly. "
