Lu Yan bears strong character resemblance to a few of the Eight Immortals as according to the Chinese Taoist legends.

However, the five and a half hours of makeup that will ensue almost frightened him off.
Jet Li confessed, “I became afraid and almost said no because I was not sure how I will be able to act and fight in the whole getup.” So after much discussion with director Rob Minkoff and producer Casey Silver bouncing off ideas with the art and costume department, the image of the Monkey King was re-created, much to Li’s relief.

Below are the parts relating to 'Yip Man', now in production, in an interview by Sara Schieron on Rotten Tomatoes:
What are your five favorite martial arts films of all time, and why?
(I like) Drunken Master, with Jackie Chan, directed by my Sifu, Yuen Woo-ping. That created a whole new style of kung fu comedy. Heroes Of The East, by Lau Kar-leung. This is a classic Shaw Brothers film about a kung fu master who marries a Japanese woman, and finds he has to fight her relatives, all of whom know different Japanese arts. (It's a) Great concept, and someone should remake it. (It's not technically a kung fu movie, but I loved the last Rocky film, Rocky Balboa! Very touching, and the last fight was amazing.)
