Complaint
In early 2011, Jackie Chan signed a contract with Tan Bing's company to serve as the producer of the film and will make guest appearances. After discussing with Jackie Chan, Tan Bing decided to invite Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo to star.
Tan Bing said that since Jackie Chan would later be filming his own movie, he would not be able to make a cameo appearance in "Ultimate Decoding" and could only serve as a producer. After receiving the news, Donnie Yen proposed that he would replace Jackie Chan as the producer, otherwise he would not sign the contract. Moreover, Donnie Yen also requested a 10% increase in salary and a share of the film. After Jackie Chan learned the news, he gave up his position as producer and returned all the remuneration he had received to Tan Bing.

Tan Bing also accused Donnie Yen of playing tricks to exclude him and called the creative team to have a separate meeting to discuss the creation of the film. Subsequently, Donnie Yen's law firm sent a lawyer's letter to Tan Bing, requesting that the script be rewritten. In the end, "Ultimate Decoding" was replaced by "Special Identity" by Donnie Yen, and Donnie Yen took control of everything on the crew, while Tan Bing was excluded.
Response
Regarding Tan Bing’s accusations, Donnie Yen’s spokesperson Ms. Zhao said: “It’s really dumbfounding.” Ms. Zhao said that Tan Bing originally gave him a synopsis of the story. Donnie Yen saw it and said that Jackie Chan would join, so Donnie Yen accepted the invitation to join the cast. Later, Jackie Chan was filming "Zodiac" and did not have time to serve as a producer or guest star, so the script had to be changed. After reading the revised script, Donnie Yen found that it was very different from the original one. He also learned that the crew had streamlined a lot of staff and spent a lot of money to hire stars such as Han Geng, hoping to attract fans to contribute to the box office. Donnie Yen felt that Han Geng's role was inexplicably increased in the script. "We can vaguely predict what kind of bad movie this crew and script will produce." Donnie Yen expressed his intention to quit, but Tan Bing asked him to serve as producer and action director. , and to increase the salary and improve the accommodation conditions, Donnie Yen expressed his continued cooperation. However, because the script needed to be changed, I met with investors.
