Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy
New York Asian Film Festival 2019
June 28 - July 11, 2019
Legendary action director Yuen Woo-Ping’s star-studded addition to the Ip Man universe centers on Cheung Tin Chi (Max Zhang), who after being defeated by Mater Ip tries to make an honest life with his young son in Hong Kong—but it’s not long before a mix of foreigners, money, and triad leaders draw him once again to the fight.
Q&A with Yuen Woo-ping, who will also receive the Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award
Legendary action director Yuen Woo-ping draws on a stellar cast (Michelle Yeoh, Dave Bautista, Tony Jaa, and Max Zhang) to create a hard-hitting martial-arts blast worthy of its place in the celebrated Ip Man universe. Following his defeat by Master Ip, Cheung Tin Chi (Zhang), tries to make a life with his young son in Hong Kong, waiting tables at a bar that caters to expats. But it’s not long before a mix of foreigners, money, and triad leaders draw him once again to the fight.
On July 2, join Yuen Woo-ping for a free masterclass in which he will discuss his art and career in Asia and America.
