Chan Tai-lee, the talented screenwriter behind many of the iconic Ip Man martial arts action films, has taken on a new challenge as the writer and director of the upcoming action film Fight for Tomorrow. Mandarin Motion Pictures, the film’s backer and international rights sales handler, will be using this week’s FilMart to showcase the movie to global buyers. It’s worth noting that the production received financial support from the Hong Kong Film Development Fund.
A Stellar Production Team
The production of Fight for Tomorrow is in the capable hands of Edmond Wong (aka Wong Tsz-wun), a highly experienced figure in the film industry. Wong has an impressive track record which includes producing, executive producing, and writing credits for the “Breakout Brothers” series, “Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy,” and “Bounty Hunters.”
The Stellar Cast
Starring former TVB actor Patrick Tam, Matthew “Locker” Lam Ka Hei, Mark Cheng Ho-nam, Ying Chiyue (aka Ying Zhiyue), and Sherming You Lok-yee, Fight for Tomorrow boasts a talented and diverse cast that will surely captivate audiences.
A Story of Redemption and Hope
Tam’s character, Shi Saburo, is a former tough guy who has been retired for several years and is now just a small figure in the market. Despite his current situation, he perseveres and endeavors to overcome real difficulties. Chan explains, “I want to convey the idea that even in the face of problems, we need to maintain a positive attitude and still believe that fate will come around, so that it will eventually be our turn again to create a better tomorrow.”
Mandarin Pictures: A Legacy of Success
Established in 2018, Mandarin Motion Pictures inherits a rich legacy from the renowned director and producer Raymond Wong Pak-ming. The company has been involved in producing the “All’s Well” comedy franchise, several “Ip Man” films, and Donnie Yen-directed projects like “Sakra.”
