Wilson Yip
The Chinese title of the film () literally means "Ip Man 2: Legend of a Grandmaster". The title is a play on the first film's working title which was "Grandmaster Ip Man", a title that was changed when Wong Kar-wai clashed with producers while trying to make his own Ip Man biopic. Wilson Yip explained that the title of the film was coincidental rather than intentional: "The sequel is about Ip Man being elevated from a master, a hero to a grandmaster, so we have 'grandmaster' in the title." Wong Kar-wai's film, titled "The Grandmaster", was released in January 2013.
