In the huge entertainment industry, discord and friction among artists are inevitable, and these grievances are real and mistaken by rumors, but they have always been the focus of the outside world. In a variety show on December 7, Donnie Yen faced the rumors of discord with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Wu Jing and others, but only bypassed Zhao Wenzhuo, who was in direct opposition to him.
Once known as "the strongest pill in the universe" by the voices of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and other seniors, Donnie Yen, who punched into the flesh in the movie, was also considered to have a arrogant side in private. However, Zhenzi said that these titles were given by the outside world, and he never said that he was stronger than Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
In addition, Donnie Yen also responded to rumors of a feud with Wu Jing that had lingered for many years.
Because filming the movie "Kill the Wolf", some media reported that Donnie Yen broke four sticks and injured Wu Jing’s ribs. Therefore, Donnie Yen was identified as hot-tempered and liked to suppress newcomers.
Regarding the incident of injuring Wu Jing, Donnie Yen explained that the sticks used in filming the movie at that time were professional props, which not only did not hurt but also broke once they were hit. Everything was for the effect of the movie.
At the same time, he also denied rumors of a rift with Wu Jing, saying that the two are still friends, and Wu Jing visited his class not long ago.
In addition to choking Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, "injuring" Wu Jing, and the "drama tyrant" controversy between Yen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo used to make a lot of noise. On January 19, 2012, the action movie "Special Identity" starring Yen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo was launched in Beijing.
However, shortly after filming began, the crew issued a public statement saying that they had ended their partnership with Zhao Wenzhuo.
Then Zhao Wenzhuo responded that he did not stop acting, and the termination of the cooperation was a unilateral dismissal by the crew, without discussing with his agency.
Afterwards, Zhao Wenzhuo also accused Donnie Yen of not abiding by the terms of the script contract, changing the script and modifying his own scenes, calling Donnie Yen a "drama tyrant". Because the script was changed too much, it was impossible to continue filming, so he terminated the contract with the crew.
In this regard, Donnie Yen also posted on social platforms expressing his disappointment with Zhao Wenzhuo, because at that time, Donnie Yen invited Zhao Wenzhuo to shoot the film, and repeatedly asked investors to keep Zhao Wenzhuo.
Then the crew also issued a statement saying that Zhao Wenzhuo’s remarks were defaming Donnie Yen, damaging Donnie Yen’s personal reputation, and accusing Zhao Wenzhuo of playing big.
This incident once attracted many stars to stand up for the two kung fu superstars, and which was right and which was wrong caused a lot of trouble. Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo were even more at odds at this time. Donnie Yen was also dubbed the title of "Drama Tyrant".
After many years, Donnie Yen has now responded to the turmoil of the year in the program, but in comparison with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Wu Jing, Donnie Yen has never mentioned Zhao Wenzhuo’s name.
Donnie Yen said that he only got into trouble with others because of his own persistence, and some things are not like competitions, win and lose. In his opinion, for actors, character and work are more important, and those who have worked with him are willing to continue working with him.
In addition, Donnie Yen also said that "drama tyrant" is not a derogatory term. He believes that he just insists on his own ideas for the pursuit of the quality of the work. This is the norm of acting more than the sky in the actor’s job, and there is no mistake. After seven years, many grievances fluttered in the wind, but Donnie Yen’s remarks still adhered to the original attitude and responded to Zhao Wenzhuo again.
In response to rumors of discord with Wu Jing, Donnie Yen and all the Kung Fu stars are also teachers and friends. But only in the matter of Zhao Wenzhuo, Donnie Yen has not let go.
From Donnie Yen’s response, it can be seen that he insists that there is no problem with his original behavior of insisting on artistic creation ideas, and there is no right or wrong in the matter between himself and Zhao Wenzhuo. He only insists on artistic creation, not the unreasonable and unreasonable.
Although seven years have passed since this incident, Donnie Yen is still unable to let go of what happened in the past.
