Tai Chi 1: 0 (太極之零開始) or Tai Chi Zero (太極：從零開始) is a 2012 3D martial arts film directed by Stephen Fung. A Hong Kong-Chinese co-production, the film is a fictitious account of how the Chen style of the martial art tai chi, that had for generations remained within the Chen family of Chenjiagou, was taught to the first outsider, Yang Luchan, by Chen Changxing. This is the first film to be produced by Stephen Fung's and Daniel Wu's new production company, Diversion Pictures and also marked the acting debut of wushu athlete Jayden Yuan, who plays the lead role. The film was shot back-to-back with its sequel, Tai Chi Hero. They are to be followed by a third as-of-yet undeveloped movie named Tai Chi Summit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
