According to ON.CC, at "The Monkey King" press conference in Shanghai on 17 June, the actor revealed, "The make-up for Monkey King took five hours every day, and another one hour to remove it after filming. After all that, I still have to take care of the fighting choreography!"

When asked if he will do it all over again, Donnie exclaimed, "This type of work affected my health negatively and gave me psychological stress. I think it would be impossible for me to agree to this kind of 'monkey punishment' again!"

However, all of his efforts were in vain, as Donnie's co-stars Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, Peter Ho and many more, were full of praises for the martial arts actor, saying that the actor is really professional in his work and that he was able to retain the quality of the choreography despite pulling double duties as actor and director.
