What does Donnie Yen mean when he said that in addition to gratitude, you must also be liberated ?

This sentence was said by Donnie Yen in an interview after "Ip Man 4", gratitude is gratitude for playing the role of Ip Man, and relief is a tribute to the role of Ip Man. The role of Ip Man has improved him, and he has also let more people know about Ip Man. <>

Donnie Yen is grateful for meeting the role of Ip Man, but Ip Man is only one of the roles played by Donnie Yen after all, so Donnie Yen still has to come out, and therefore, for this "Ip Man 4" will be used as the finale, Donnie Yen said frankly that he is more happy than sad, "I just play Ip Man, I am not Ip Man, I am Donnie Yen, Donnie Yen has many different sides, so I think it's time to say goodbye to "Ip Man 4", I can finally get rid of it, I don't want this burden." I never said that I was a grandmaster, I just played a lot of heroes on the screen, especially Ip Man. I'm very grateful for the recognition, but as an actor, I have to move forward.

Donnie Yen also said that after "Ip Man" became popular, a lot of film and television works about Ip Man were derived, many of which were quick successes, so he also hoped that everyone would "stop consuming 'Ip Man'". The development of science and technology has made many actors without kung fu become kung fu masters, and the decline of traditional Chinese kung fu films is somewhat related to the development of science and technology, so now for traditional kung fu films, there is a voice of decline, thinking that the era of kung fu movies has passed, and there will be no more kung fu superstars. <>

In this regard, Donnie Yen, as a "senior", also admitted that kung fu movies are difficult to shoot now, and they are getting more and more difficult. However, it is not up to him to decide where kung fu films will go, "I am just a movie creator, I can only play the play well, and the market should let the distribution face it, it depends on the audience's choice." The current showbiz stars change very quickly, but the action stars are still Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and a few others over the years, and the reserve force is obviously insufficient, but Donnie Yen is very optimistic, he immediately reported the names of Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, and Wu Yue, thinking that they are enough to provoke the beams.

Donnie Yen means that he must be grateful to others for giving him the opportunity to have a role, and he must get rid of this role.

Because he is very grateful for the achievements and money that shooting kung fu movies has brought him, but in addition to gratitude, he will also jump out of this comfort zone, and he will not keep making kung fu movies, he is saying goodbye.

It is said that you should have a heart of gratitude, that is, thank all the people who have helped him, thank all the audience, but sometimes you are tired, you must also learn to be free, and don't let yourself be too miserable.

In addition to gratitude, it is also liberated to say that people should learn to be grateful, but gratitude does not mean that they have always felt guilty, and they should treat some people and things freely in the past and live optimistically.
