Xinhua 29 October 2012: Kevin hurt on set, 10 stitches bill to cost as much as RMB100,000

Kevin accidentally got his right eye injured while filming Ip Man in Kunshan. The eye bled and swelled immediately causing the martial art expert to panic. Kevin took the night flight back to Hong Kong the same evening to seek treatment. It is reported that one night of treatment will cost up to RMB100,000.

Kevin plays Ip Man in the series and has more than 200 fight scenes and this scene shot on 25th October is a duel between Ip Man and Lin Qingshan. In order to ensure the effects of the show, Kevin generally insists of completing the scenes himself without substitute. Before the camera started rolling, Kevin and Liu Xiaofeng's substitute have rehearsed once but during the actual shoot, Kevin's response was a fraction of a second slow while the punch came faster than expected resulting in the punch landing directly onto Kevin's right eye. From the pictures taken at the scene, Kevin's facial expression was visibly grim and his right eye indeed suffered a heavy blow and bloody.

Kevin when faced with media at Hong Kong airport told reporters that this is but a trivial matter. It will need maybe 2 stitches and jokingly told reporters that a man should have scars. It was reported that Kevin was admitted to the hospital but instead of 2 stitches, he got 10 instead and that one night in hospital cost him RMB100,000. At the moment, Kevin is recuperating at home and when will he return to rejoin the crew is still an unknown.

Tomorrow's Dior appearance is officially cancelled because Kevin has taken the night flight back to Hong Kong to seek treatment. We hear that injury is not light but not serious either. I will continue to update this page if I get anymore news. At this moment, this is all I know.

Reporters met him at both the airport and hospital. Kevin acted very strong and also joked with the reporters who came, asking everybody not to worry, just a small injury. He also posted on his weibo asking his fans not to worry but Virginia Lok revealed that he required stitches and the injury is pretty bad.

Article 25 Oct 2012 - to be translated


IEasyTV 25 October 2012: Ip Man's Love and Hate

Being the life and soul of this drama, Kevin's got a huge challenge in front of him. The amount of fight scenes involved plus his busy schedule will greatly challenge his body physically. Although Kevin has put in a lot of effort to learn relentlessly from the experts but he admits that he still gets nervous whenever he has to play opposite them. He admits he welcomes such challenges, sculpting his own version of Ip Man. Han Xue who plays Ip Man's wife in the drama is full of praises for Kevin's matureness.

Souhu 17 Oct 2012: Kevin goes topless in Ip Man, nurses blush while dressing his wound


由苏州福纳公司出品的电视剧版《叶问》正在昆山紧张拍摄中,剧中男一号叶问的扮演者郑嘉颖 几乎每天都有高强度的打戏。郑嘉颖坦言:“从来没有试过一部戏是几乎没有一天不打的,非常之累。”记者探班当天,就刚好又遇到一场重要的打戏——郑嘉颖PK日本剑圣小笠原。  
Kevin, who is in the final stages of shooting Ip Man, has challenging fight scenes almost everyday. He admits "I have never shot a drama that requires me to fight everyday. It is extremely tiring." Today, while our reporters are visiting the set, Kevin will take on Japanese swordsman.

虽然郑嘉颖从来没有专门练过武术,也不是专业的武打科班出身,但凭借自己刻苦的练习和超高的天分,再加上剧组内超专业武术指导的点拨,他的咏春拳在镜头面前已是像模像样。
Although Kevin has never practiced martial arts and is not from a professional martial art family, but due to his diligence, hard-work and his talent coupled with guidance from the martial art experts on the set, one can hardly find any fault with his Wing Chun moves.
