Starring Donnie Yen, Wang Baoqiang, Yang Caini, and Bai Bing, and directed by "October Siege" director Chen Desen, the suspenseful kung fu blockbuster "One Man's Martial Arts" costing nearly HK$200 million will be released in North American theaters starting from April 24. This film brings together generations of Hong Kong film heroes both on stage and behind the scenes, innovating and reforming the kung fu film genre, integrating police and gangster suspense elements while presenting the audience with exciting and enjoyable fights from various genres. The film set off a wave of critical acclaim after its premiere at the London Film Festival, and was praised by international media as "a sincere and passionate love letter to classic Hong Kong kung fu films and global kung fu fans."

The title of the film "One Man's Martial Arts" is a metaphor for the fact that martial arts no longer exists in modern society, but every martial arts practitioner still has his own school, martial arts pursuit and success or failure standards in his heart. The story tells the story of Xia Houwu (played by Donnie Yen), who was once recognized as the number one in the martial arts world and surrendered to jail for accidentally killing his opponent in a competition. However, he learned from the news that masters from various sects who abandoned martial arts and lived ordinary lives were successively killed by mysterious people using their own unique skills. In order to prevent the tragedy from continuing, he actively requested to assist the Chief Inspector of the Crime Unit (played by Yang Caini) in investigating the case. Unexpectedly, the persistence of the murderer Feng Yuxiu (played by Wang Baoqiang) behind the scenes shook Xiahou Wu's view of martial arts and inspired his unknown ambitions.

Born into a martial arts family, the star Donnie Yen moved from Boston to Beijing to study martial arts and became an international star succeeding Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li through the "Ip Man" series. Therefore, he has a strong sense of mission for kung fu movies and hopes to inherit this valuable genre of Chinese-language movies with the most global influence to compete with Hollywood action movies. In order to support a good script that no boss was willing to try, Donnie Yen also spent his own money to make a kung fu movie. Unexpectedly, he encountered an economic crisis and only had 100 Hong Kong dollars left in his account. He had to star in a series of bad movies to pay off his debts. In order to pursue perfect movements in front of the camera, he did not use a stand-in all year round. His whole body was covered with new injuries and old pains, and he still continued to perform despite having nerve necrosis in his fingers and losing all feeling. In this cooperation with Chen Desen, Donnie Yen not only provided the audience with fist-to-pound fights, but also took over the martial arts action design. He cooperated with the director to create several fierce battles in which masters of the four factions of southern boxing, northern kick, grappling, and weapons dueled with killers. He was nominated for the Best Action Design Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Director Chen Desen, who has personally experienced the ups and downs of several generations of kung fu movies, has unique thoughts on the plight of the genre that has seen frequent bad movies in recent years, and has put reforms into practical actions. Looking back on the spread of kung fu from the north to the south to Guangdong and Hong Kong, and its prosperity from the ring to the big screen and even the world's movie stage, Chen Desen believes that it is the generation of filmmakers who practice real kung fu without substitutes or special effects that have won global fans and reputation for Hong Kong kung fu films. In recent years, the output of action movies has decreased. The former behind-the-scenes heroes have been plagued by injuries and their lives have gone from bad to worse. In order to provide them with benefits in their later years, Chen Desen often lobbied around to raise funds to support retired martial arts after filming. In addition to showcasing wonderful martial arts movements, historical traditions, and background culture for the audience, he also invited dozens of kung fu film seniors to make guest appearances. Careful fans will notice the flashes of martial arts commander Xu Xiaoming from "Fearless Fearless", Yuan Xiangren from "Kung Fu", David Jiang, the star of "One-Armed Sword", Yang Panpan, the star of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Weiqiang, the director of "Infernal Affairs", and even Zou Wenhuai, the founder of Jiahe Harvest. He hopes that this design will not only pay tribute to classics, but also allow the audience to understand that kung fu movies are the result of the collective efforts and sacrifices of generations of Hong Kong filmmakers.

> Wang Baoqiang, the main villain in the film, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his honest and honest comedy image. In fact, he has received strict martial arts training in the Shaolin Temple since he was a child. He even ignited his movie dream with the classic kung fu movie "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li. Director Chen Desen once questioned him when he saw his thin stature and weak voice. It was not until he showed his true skills that he was shocked and hurriedly signed a contract to shoot several movies in a row. Among the two heroines, Yang Caini, who plays the female inspector, is neat and capable, while Bai Bing, who plays Donnie Yen's junior sister, shows off her sword skills, which is amazing.
