Ip Man actor Donnie Yen has been quite famous lately as the majority of his films in the recent years have made over a 100 million in the Mainland box office. Looks like the Mainland fans really love Donnie. Last night, Donnie was shooting in Shenzhen for Clarence Fok's directed film
Special Identity (特殊身份). As the crew was filming a walk-through-heavy-rain scene, three streets were blocked off. Yesterday the crew posted a special announcement around the area notifying residents of the filming time, location and when the streets will be closed.
Unexpectedly the 'warm reminder' produced the opposite effect. The Donnie Fans and Netizens took pictures of the announcement and madly fowarded it online. Last night, a large group of fans and onlookers, over 10,000 people, gathered around the filming location.
Initially, Donnie just wanted to shoot the scene low-profile, but to his surprise there was a large crowd waiting for him like a turbulent. He was a little frightened and urged everyone to be careful. Director Clarence Fok expressed the situation was already like this earlier on and he also hired 70 security personnels to maintain order: "The security includes a person with authority and also the Public Security. It's considered a pretty stabled group of security people."
That night, a rush of water was to be poured to make a heavy rain effect. Lots of resources were used for this film, like three large water trucks and a large group of workers. In the film, Donnie plays an undercover, so he was dressed like a triad leader that night. He had on some bling including neck chains and a famous watch, which already valued at 2 million. Also, a famous tattoo artist spent about 4 to 5 hours putting a fake tattoo on him.
