He even wore sunglasses and thick gold chains, as well as wielding nunchukus and making a Bruce Lee pose. Yen Chi Tan said, "My wife didn't tell me about the party until the last minute, but I expected her to give me a surprise and was mentally prepared. What more could be said about the Old Lady, she really adores me!" Then he gave a loving kiss on his wife's cheek.

Cissy Wang was asked about her gift. She took out a mobile phone to display the Donnie's App that has been in planning for a year.

He said that next year as long as they will be able to coordinate their schedules, IP MAN 3 will definitely be made with Yen Chi Tan and no one else. As for whether he was planning a Wisely movie, Wong Pak Ming said, "It's too soon to tell, let's wait until my son finishes the script. It still has to be cast."

Pegasus Motion Pictures CEO John Chong Ching yesterday called for a press conference to clarify the rumor that boss Raymond Wong Pak Ming making his son Edmond Wong Chi Wun the director of IP MAN 3 in place of Wilson Yip Wai Shun and upsetting Donnie Yen Chi Tan. Chong Ching said, "Yip Wai Shun didn't have time to make it and suggested for IP MAN screen writer Wong Chi Wun to direct. Yen Chi Tan indeed strongly objects. Actually Wong Chi Wun has to prepare for his September wedding and can't make it either."

Was Wong Chi Wun upset about this? Chong Ching said, "Although he wasn't too upset, the clarification is necessary. He for now has no plan to direct. Even when he directs, he may not make this type of film." Chong Ching said that IP MAN 3 will not start production this year but will definitely be made, because a contract was signed with Ip Chun and Ip Ching. The script has also already received Mainland film authority approval and will be shot in 3D. Chong Ching said, "Wong Pak Ming and the company's intention is to shoot with the original team. I am continuously working on the schedule with Yen Chi Tan. He hasn't asked for 50 million."

The film company called Yip wai Shun, who admitted that he suggested for Wong Chi Wun to direct. As for Yen Chi Tan's demand of performing only with him as the director, Yip wai Shun said, "I want to thank him for trusting me, only feeling secure with me." Did Yen Chi Tan stipulate in his contract that he had to direct? Yip Wai Shun said, "No! We are so close, my intention too is the original team would make the production more fun." Chong Ching added, "Our mutual understanding is the production with the original team, when Yip Wai Shun has time then it will start production."

Wong Pak Ming yesterday said that Yip Wai Shun had to work on another film so he suggested for Wong Chi Wun to direct out of goodwill. He was only the producer. "I didn't kick out Yip Wai Shun to support my son." He said that after working with Yen Chi Tan for years, a break up is impossible.

As for the rumor of Yen Chi Tan asking for 50 million, Wong Pak Ming denied. "No no no! Yen Chi Tan and I didn't talk about money, just the scheduling problem. The salary is more than 50 million? I never said that. Chong Ching already negotiated the salary last year, and I agree with this reasonable rate."

Cissy Wang yesterday attended a SK-II event and revealed that her husband Donnie Yen Chi Tan is very busy. He is preparing for the November production CHIU CUP YING HUNG (SUPER HERO) and several Hollywood films. She said, "I told him not to make foreign films. I am already very satisfied, I don't want him to work so hard. However he loves movies too much, when he has a good script and character he wants to work. He is a workaholic, he wants to break through his level. I told him, let it go, let other people do it!" Was making the American dollar bad? She joked that the American dollar is no match for RMB.

Was it because he had to work on foreign films he could not make IP MAN 3? Cissy denied that and said that the six month production period for the film company has passed. As for claims that Yen Chi Tan was asking for too much, she denied that Yen Chi Tan's salary was as much as 50 million. She joked that if his salary was so high, she would not have to work so hard. "It's not a salary issue. Some Hollywood film salaries are even higher, but he has to play a villain. He has quite a sense of justice so he turned it down." However, he felt that IP MAN film would be the best if it would be a collaboration with director Wilson Yip Wai Shun. Was he upset that Raymond Wong Pak Ming's son Edmond Wong Chi Hung would direct? She was unsure, in the end she felt that it had to be Yip Wai Shun's movie.
