At last month’s Asia Pacific Screen Awards, Zhang Ziyi received the Best Actress award for her work in the film, which features Tony Leung in the role of Ip Man.
“What makes Ip Man great is not just his physical abilities,” said the actor about the martial arts legend, best known as being the mentor of Bruce Lee. “I think it’s (also) because of his wisdom and his knowledge of kung fu.
