Kevin Cheng as Ip Man hopes he won't be compared to Donnie Yen

Mainland TV drama Ip Man held a press conference in Suzhou yesterday. The cast including Kevin Cheng, Chrissie Chau, Cecilia Han and Yuen Wah all attended to help promote. When Kevin was playing games with the audience, he generously gave out hugs and neglected Chrissie. When Cecilia Han talked about her relationship with Kevin in the drama, she couldn't hide her sweetness, she frankly expressed she tried to learn more about Kevin by using food: "We're both slow starters. Later, we had intimate scenes and it went very smoothly. Once I see his eyes, I get the feelings!"

When the event organizers showed the trailer, Kevin was seen with powerful momentum standing by the wooden stump, in a long white gown. However, Kevin expressed he cannot be compared to Donnie Yen, "Of course films are a lot more exquisite than TV series. Also, Donnie is initially a good fighter, I started from zero, but I believe the outcome is going to be pretty good!" In regards to Cecilia took initiative trying to get to know him, Kevin said there is no such thing: "Giving food is nothing unusual. I will also buy her foods too. Each day after I finish shooting, I have to rehearse the fighting scenes, so I have no time at all. We rarely communicated and don't keep in touch outside of filming." When asked if there were any females that knocked on his door? Kevin laughed: "Ghost? There's ghost in Kunshan? Of course not!" He also expressed he never thought shooting this series would be more difficult than Burning Flames III.

As there is currently protests in Suzhou? Kevin said: "I rarely go out, I believe its not an issue. I hope for less civil unrest, otherwise people will laugh at us. We should be facing problems in a gentle manner. Just boycotting Japanese goods is already causing great harm to Japan!"

Chrissie expressed she never thought she had a naked back scene on the first day of work: "The scene was about me trying to motivate myself to get back on my feet because I had a leg injury. Fortunately it was just revealing my back, nothing special to see. Of course, the set was cleared, so not too embarrassing." She also expressed she was very nervous when she had to do a passionate kiss scene with Kevin.
