Actor Donnie Yen expressed his excitement and said that "The Catman" was successful in reversing the tide during the recent Tet holiday.

Actor Donnie Yen shared with the Chinese media about the appeal of the movie "Xiao Ren" - a work that is receiving a lot of attention from audiences.

Donnie Yen sent congratulations to the film crew, especially actor Ngo Kinh and martial arts director Vien Hoa Binh. The male artist said that he was very happy to see a Chinese martial arts work create a strong spread. He believes that the movie "Xiao Ren" was successful when it reversed the trend, and the martial arts film genre in China was welcomed and interested again.

I would like to congratulate Ngo Kinh and his master Vien Hoa Binh. I feel very excited to see Chinese martial arts films loved by audiences again," Donnie Yen shared.

The actor also revealed that he received an invitation to participate in this project quite early. However, for many different reasons, he finally had to refuse the film. "They invited me early, but unfortunately this time, I was busy, so I couldn't participate," Donnie Yen said.

Catman" is a film project adapted from the famous comic book of the same name by author Hua Tien Triet. The film is set in a chaotic period, telling the journey of a martial artist carrying many secrets, facing conspiracies and fierce battles.

Right from its release, the work has attracted attention thanks to its famous cast and elaborately invested martial arts. The participation of martial arts director Vien Hoa Binh - who has stood behind many famous action movies - also contributed to creating attraction for the project.

Experts believe that the success of "Xiao Ren" shows that the martial arts film genre still has a firm foothold in the hearts of audiences if seriously invested in both content and technique. Many opinions believe that the film has contributed to breathing new life into the genre that once made the brand of Chinese cinema.

On Donnie Yen's side, the actor is considered one of the typical faces of Asian martial arts films. Over the years, he has participated in and produced many famous action works, contributing to bringing the image of Chinese martial arts to international audiences.

According to Donnie Yen, the great success of a martial arts film is not only the joy of the crew alone but also a positive sign for the Chinese film industry in general. The actor expressed hope that in the near future, martial arts films will continue to be heavily invested in and have more quality works released to audiences.
