The scene being filmed on 30th August goes that Ip Man (played by Kevin) is hit on the head by Chen Huashun (played by Yuan Wah) with a long stick. The scene was described as horrid, keeping the crew on the edge of their seats. Master Chen Huashun played by Yuan Wah was disciplining Ip Man, is to pick up a stick which is 2 meters long, walk out of the room, and swinging it towards Kevin's head.
In order to be as real as possible and to preserve the authenticity of the story, Yuan Wah is supposed to use his might and strike the blow against Kevin's neck. If he would miss by just a little or uses a little more strength, Kevin will be injured in the process. There is no substitute arranged for Kevin in this scene. In order to soften the atmosphere of the set, Kevin said jokingly "Even the stick has a substitute but not me" The crew was afraid that the stick will be broken hence they prepared a spare. Fortunately, Yuan Wah is a Kung Fu expert and was able to control his strength properly, the scene was wrapped up without any mishaps.
It is reported that the production team is very strict and have high expectations of all the fight scenes. In order to give his best, not only does Kevin practice his moves on a wooden dummy diligently, he also insists to perform the fight scenes himself. Kevin's professionalism is definitely commendable!
