Yip Wai Shun pointed out that last time IP MAN received the highest honor, he looked forward to the second installment to receive audience recognition. Yen Chi tan pointed out that he performed this time better than the last and put in a lot of effort. Before the shoot he watched many Cantonese films to pick up the speech and behavior patterns of the people in the 60s. He pointed out that if everyone was introduced to Ip Man in the first film, the second gave everyone a real understanding of Ip Man's life philosophy and peaceful personality. he would like to able to win Best Actor again.
