Shenzhen News Network, August 11, 2024 (Shenzhen Business Daily reporter Zhao Yu) After more than a year of script polishing, Shenzhen's 12th low-cost movie, Iron Fist Ambition II "Counterattack", recently started shooting at Shenzhen Longgang Eastern Film and Television City. Li Yawei, Chairman of the Shenzhen Film and Television Industry Federation, Chairman of the Shenzhen Film and Television Association, and Chief Commander of the Shenzhen Low-cost Film Implementation Planning Command, Chief Producer Cai Shaoshan, Chief Producer Zhao Peng, Director Zhou Yuqi, starring Lu Zi, Zong Ming, Ai Lin, Li Zhuomei and all members of the crew witnessed the start of shooting.

It is reported that the film "Iron Fist Ambition II: Counterattack" is a film that combines boxing with female power. It mainly tells the story of a grassroots female boxer who has gone through ups and downs, and finally counterattacks her life with her tenacious fighting spirit and perseverance. The film combines a lot of Shenzhen elements with the atmosphere of new era culture, aiming to open a unique window for the audience to see the dreams and persistence of the young people who are working tirelessly in Shenzhen, and show the indomitable spirit of women.

Producer Cai Shaoshan said that she has been committed to producing works that promote positive energy for more than ten years, and she looks forward to seeing "Counterattack" show the positive and enterprising side of women. Chief producer Zhao Peng believes that practitioners in the film and television industry should respond to the call of the country, believe in a strong cultural country, and believe in the future of the cultural industry. "Counterattack", as the first locally produced film in Shenzhen in 2024, has received attention and support from all parties. Young director Zhou Yuqi is very grateful for the guidance and encouragement given by Director Li Yawei since "The Secret of the Box". She believes that "Counterattack", a film full of feminine colors, will create better results with the efforts of the team. The film's leading actor Lu Zi said that she has never played a female role as unique as the heroine of "Counterattack". She believes that women's growth and experience should not stop at marriage, and all walks of life are stages for realizing self-worth. The male lead of the film, Zong Ming, said that "Counterattack" is the second film he has worked on with the production team. As an actor, the most important thing is to do his job of polishing the role, not to disappoint the director and producer, and not to disappoint all the staff who have contributed to the film. He has high expectations for this film.

At the end of 2019, the Shenzhen Film and Television Industry Association and the Shenzhen Cinema Association jointly initiated the establishment of the Shenzhen Low-cost Film Implementation Planning Command. In the past four years, with the strong support of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, the command has reviewed hundreds of scripts, selected, modified, planned, and supervised 12 theater film themes for multiple private companies, and created, filmed, and produced 12 original theater films such as "Dad, I Can Do It", "The Secret of the Box", "Extreme Life", "Navigating for Love", "Playing Door Gods", "Autumn Water Beauty", "Children of Ai Bang", and "Counterattack".
