Chen Tianxing relys on Nunchucks for a comeback

The kung fu kid Chen Tianxing directed and starred first real kung fu film from China, NUN CHUCKS, has already opened earlier this month nationwide. Earlier Chen Tianxing led NUN CHUCKS stars Yu Yangfei, Huang Xiheng and Miu Shixuan to Changsha to promote the film. Chen Tianxing said that although the film did not have any big stars, it was a real kung fu film without any special effect, wire or stunt double.

NUN CHUCKS is about a filmmaker who is obsessed with Bruce Lee's kung fu. In order to make a Bruce Lee movie he neglects his family. Finally his wife leaves him and his son is kidnapped. In the process of saving his son he understands what is the real nun chucks spirit. Chen Tianxing said that most of the film was based on life experience. He studied martial art for 26 years and Bruce Lee was his idol. He also made 8 kung fu films before but none had theatrical release. During his filmmaking process he lost everything, finally his former girlfriend chose to leave him and left him very sentimental.

Chen Tianxing said that this production was absolutely "for real". Martial art actors were asked to fight while protecting their own safety, which was a huge bright spot for the film's action scenes. All the fight scenes in the bamboo forest, the swamp, the cliff, hillside had no special effect at all. Because of this film's display of exciting real kung fu action and Chinese value, it won the 5th Cologne International Film Festival's highest honor and overseas kung fu fan support. Today kung fu fans and Bruce Lee fans from everywhere have already booked over 200 shows.
