The younger ones are only Jason Wu and Donnie Yen. They are doing very well, and there are still big movies. At present, there are some differences between them. For example, Jason Wu is deeply involved in the mainland film market, while Donnie Yen is acting as an agent for Hong Kong films and mainland films, and he also makes Hollywood films. In recent years, he has the potential to shift his focus to Hollywood.
Why do you say that? Because there are too many officially released movies in Donnie Yen recently, and they are all Hollywood movies. Let's take a look at these films that Donnie Yen will make next. The earliest official announcement was "Hot Blood Rogue", which was adapted from a stand-alone game of the same name. Donnie Yen will play Wai Shum in this film. As an undercover, he went deep into the enemy's interior and finally destroyed a huge criminal group.
The film was officially released in 20 17, but it has not been filmed for various reasons. However, according to Donnie Yen, his next movie is Hot-blooded Rogue, and he has been actively exercising since this summer vacation to prepare for filming.
The main lineup of this film should not be underestimated. It was produced by The Fast and the Furious series producer Neal H. Moritz. This film can be said to be tailor-made for Donnie Yen. There may be gun battles, car races or street battles in the streets. It can be said that it is a very wonderful film.
The film "Hot Blood Rogue" will start shooting in the near future, mainly in Hong Kong.
The second work is the Golden Empire, a Hollywood blockbuster with the theme of drug lords released by the government this summer. Donnie Yen will play a legendary drug Lord who is a headache for both the United States and Mexico. The film said that the film will show the inner struggle of drug lords. This movie is also a Hollywood movie with all English lines, shot in the United States, and the plot spans the mainland, the United States and Mexico.
The producer of the film said that after watching "Chasing the Dragon" starring Donnie Yen and Andy Lau, he locked in Donnie Yen and thought his performance was impressive, so he negotiated with the Donnie Yen team and finally succeeded in cooperation. It is also said that Donnie Yen will be the first Asian actor to play the leading role of a Hollywood drug Lord. The film is currently in operation and is expected to start shooting in the near future.
The third movie was officially released last month, and it is still a Hollywood blockbuster and very popular. Donnie Yen, alec baldwin and Frank Grillo will star in the action film Father, which tells the story of a businessman played by Donnie Yen who moves to Boston and works as a fishmonger in a chaotic dock. In the end, he became the target of both criminal groups and police, and Donnie Yen had no choice but to fight back to protect himself.
Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the director of Death and Hunting Monday Snow, Frank Grillo is also a well-known actor besides Donnie Yen. He is the villain's father in Wolf Warriors 2 and Crossbones in The Avengers series.
Alec baldwin is also a well-known Hollywood superstar, and has won many Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor. His representative works include I am a comedian, Hunting Red October and Glengarry Glenn Ross.
After the film "Father" was exposed by Hollywood media, "Crossbones" Frank Grillo also confirmed the news on social platforms, and said that Donnie Yen and alec baldwin were his favorite actors, looking forward to a happy cooperation.
It can be seen that Donnie Yen still has a certain fame and influence in Hollywood, and his face is widely known through Extreme Agent 3 and Grand Theft Auto 1 in Star Wars. In fact, it already has a certain position in Hollywood, so that's why these films are looking for Donnie Yen, who has great strength and a certain popularity.
The three films, Hot Blood Rogue, Golden Empire and Father, can be said to be medium-sized and big-budget movies in Hollywood. Although the investment is not as good as special effects films, there is still a big market. These three films will also mark Donnie Yen's official entry into Hollywood. Different from previous performances, Donnie Yen is a real hero this time, so his performance is worth looking forward to.
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat are China actors who have made their mark in Hollywood, while the situation in Donnie Yen is similar to Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but there are also different situations. Jackie Chan and Jet Li became famous in the Hong Kong film industry, then went to Hollywood to develop, mixed some tricks and returned to the China film industry. On the other hand, Donnie Yen established himself in China film industry, and at the same time, he also entered Hollywood and made China films. Obviously, he wants to master multiple markets at the same time.
And now Donnie Yen is almost sixty years old, and her performing arts career is still on the rise, and she may not reach the peak, so people are full of expectations. But despite this, Donnie Yen's condition is still very good. Now he is still muscular. He is not like a 58-year-old middle-aged man at all, but more like a man in his 30 s and 40 s. His good state also benefits from his daily fitness, and even goes to the gym after filming. He has never stopped for decades and can be said to be very self-disciplined.
These three films may also be the starting point for Donnie Yen to become an international superstar, and it is not impossible to surpass Jackie Chan in the future.
