good evening, and thanks for joining us. from frank sinatra to elvis presley, there have always been singers who work their female fans into a frenzy. then came the beatles and a whole new level of star was born. nowadays boy bands have become serious business. with millions, some even say billions of dollars at stake. at the top of the heap, one direction. they're part of a star-making factory that's kept the hysteria at a fever pitch. tonight an exclusive look at what it's like to be the new teen idol. ♪ i hold you

>> reporter: every generation of girls has one, a boy band that rocks the heart of an era. ♪ one, two, three, four >> reporter: in this moment that band is one direction. hot in every sense of the word. successors to new kids on the block. ♪ step by step ♪ ooh baby >> reporter: the backstreet boys. ♪ that makes you larger than life ♪ and 'n sync. ♪ want to be a fool for you so big they did something even the beatles didn't do. ♪ you don't know why you're beautiful ♪ ♪ that's what makes you beautiful ♪ debuted at number one in the u.s. with their first album. >> is that where the comparison ends with the beat lz? i mean, how do you feel? do you feel uncomfortable about those -- >> i don't think it's so much uncomfortable. it's just that's such a big thing to live up to. i couldn't put us in the same vein. >> reporter: we are permitted unprecedented access, allowed where millions of teenage girls would love to be.

their dressing room. >> i'm going to go and get in the shower. >> some jeans. >> yeah. >> and a shirt. >> reporter: while harry goes to shower, niall is dressed by their stylist. >> will you tell me what size you were? >> 30-32. >> reporter: there's a sense this is a safe haven, a place they can reveal a little more like liam does. >> these were the first i ever got. awful us except for niall have got these on our ankles. just crosses. i don't know. like the screws that keep you together. it's like a keep you grounded thing. my mum hates tattoos. >> what does it stay say? >> that's one of the words from a new song that's not out yet. >> hold it. that's a big -- >> that's a big exclusive. that's a line from the start of one of our songs. i figured it out. it does get scary sometimes. people don't realize that. it is scary when you've got loads of people screaming.

>> reporter: they're saying they're just trying to do it their way. no matching outfits, no dancing. and so far it's working. they've just wound up their sold-out world tour. and won a vma last night for their summer hit "best song ever." >> want to say a massive, massive thank you to all of our fans. >> reporter: one direction is more than a band. it is a business. stoked by a merchandising team of backpacks and t-shirts, perfume and books. could they be the first billion-dollar boy band ever? >> there was an article the other day that said that you are about to become the first boy band to ever reach a billion dollars. >> yeah, we read it. >> reporter: they try to keep it funny, no matter the topic. in fact, the lighthearted clean-cut image of the band is part of their appeal. >> so is there a lot of pressure to stay this sort of squeaky clean like pg? >> well, i don't know really.

i think you've got to be yourself in this thing otherwise it's going to drive you a bit nuts. we try to be ourselves and whether people like it because people are not -- that's why we don't go around like confessing to be role models or something like that because you know, we might make mistakes. >> we're the five idiots that they knew from three years ago and we still are. >> part of it's like it's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and don't keep doing them over and over again. >> reporter: three years ago harry was sweeping up a bakery and louie worked in toys "r" us. they were just five kids hoping for a break on the british reality show "the x factor." after being booted as solo artists, their hopes were shattered. but simon cowell brought them back. >> we've decided to put you through. >> reporter: giving them another shot. this time as a group. and though they only finished third, cowell signed them to his label anyway. >> this is just the beginning for these boys. >> reporter: cowell's instinct paid off. ♪ let me kiss you ♪ >> reporter: not only can they

sing, their good looks, natural charm and an explosion of social media, the band itself has 14 million twitter followers. 19 million on facebook. and more views on youtube than the population of britain. well, all that has teenage girls screaming, crying, and swooning across the globe. >> i've had less security going into a maximum security prison than trying to get close to you guys. >> when did you go to prison? >> many, many times. as a legal correspondent. so does it get old, the whole thing of moving you from spot to spot? >> no, we just -- you know, partly -- you just kind of get on with it. we know we have a good laugh being on the road and stuff with each other. with your buddies as it were. so no, we have a good time. >> reporter: and that is another part of the magic. they like each other. a theme at the heart of their new documentary. "this is us." which debuted in new york tonight. ♪ and live while we're young

>> reporter: but we got them all to ourselves. ♪ >> one of the principles of the band is the -- you play guitar but most of you guys are not playing instruments and not writing most of your music. >> this next album we actually wrote maybe i'd say -- >> 10. >> 10? >> i thought you were going to say 10 songs. >> oh, 10 songs. there's only 13, 14 songs on the next album. so we wrote the majority of them and we worked very hard. >> lyrics and music? >> a little bit of both. >> lyrics and melody. ♪ all day and all night >> reporter: the band insists the music matters most. but the heartthrob aspect of the band's appeal is not lost on anyone. certainly not them. >> can anyone show me a tattoo we haven't seen before? what have we got? i'm not going to stop you,

harry. you are absolutely kidding but it was exciting for a minute. you can't blame a girl for asking. >> reporter: just the kind of harmless flirtation that keeps teens screaming. for all the high jinks many of their young fans say they see the boys as much more than a band. >> there is also a feeling among some of these girls that you literally saved their lives, that they're going through a hard period with their families, that something horrible has happened. do you feel a certain responsibility? >> crazy like humbling comment to think that you could -- that you could change somebody's life. you don't really expect that sort of reaction, i guess. we're just humbled by it and, you know, grateful that we can have that effect on our fans. >> yeah. i think it's so nice to know we can do that. as you say we're normal lads and we're just -- >> we're still growing. >> yeah. >> reporter: what do you think the greatest misperception -- >> for me it's more that nobody expects us to have any control.

>> i was just thinking that. >> over anything that we do. but actually it's the exact opposite. and as long as we stay a band the more control we feel we're getting over everything. it's very important for us to be over every part of the project really. because the band is us at the end of the day. >> reporter: and while "this is us" does give us a vivid portrait of the band's antics, here's something we don't see. their girlfriends. >> it's actually like where's wally? >> why? why don't we see that part of your life? >> we've never been a band that has like lied about having girlfriends. we've always said that we have. you know, it wasn't like a thing that we kept back on purpose. it just -- yeah, that wasn't -- it didn't always include. >> it isn't because it's bad for business? >> no, no, no. because lying is bad for business. >> yeah, lying is bad for business. >> worse. >> it's more like we wanted to show like what the band is

about. and obviously, our girlfriends are like personal to us individually, like so we didn't really want to show, you know, our individual personal lives. >> reporter: so naturally, i asked. >> all right. so who's available now and who's available. available. >> i'm available. >> you're -- >> i'm taken. >> you're taken. >> taken. >> taken too. i will find you. >> so what about the rumor that you have a crush? is that true? ellie goulding. is the ellie goulding crush true? >> she's a very pretty girl. >> well, now she knows. >> you got the message out. >> thanks for getting it out there. >> and harry, it was rumored you had a crush as well. is that true? >> me? on who? come on. >> really? harry? >> who? >> there are always rumors. >> reporter: crushes or no crushes, zane has big news. just days ago he got engaged to his girlfriend, carrie edwards, a girl band member and another

simon cowell-created group, little mix. >> first of all, congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> are you sure you want to do this? >> i'm definitely sure. thank you for asking. >> and i don't suppose you're going to tell me when you're going to get married. >> i'm not sure myself yet. so i wouldn't be able to say. >> you could be a minister. >> wouldn't that be great? >> minister or flower girl? what would you prefer? >> certainly an enviable offer. while cynics will say the band is just a manufactured cash machine, their humor and innocence too good to be true, ask the band. they'll tell you they just want to stay regular guys while having the time of their life. >> does that get harder and harder? >> i don't think it does. >> i don't think so. it's not about -- it's not about being who you were. it's about keeping who you were apart from who you are now. >> well, one direction's

documentary, "this is us," opens in theaters this friday, august 30th. next up, the story behind a kung fu legend. the only thing anyone really cares about is that first day. everyone will be stylin' their faves.

predicted. but what about the man behind the legend? a new movie brings us the story of the master who started it all. there's a reason they say it's love at first sight. here's abc's rebecca jarvis. >> reporter: say the words "kung fu" and one name comes to mind. bruce lee. but the latest kung fu import hitting american theaters is the story of the martial artist who came before bruce lee and taught him the fundamentals of wing chun kung fu. lee's grandmaster ip man. the film is directed by wong kaw wai, known for films like "2046" and chung king express." and his themes focusing on loss and unrequited love. featuring international store tony leung as ip man the

grandmaster adds a healthy dose of intense fight scenes to create a film unlike anything you've seen in recent cinema. >> at the beginning i think i just need to train like a year before shooting but it end up i spend four years training. my fighting scene in the rain is the most difficult scene in my acting career. we take like 50 overnight in the rain. every take and every angle we take 27 times. >> reporter: zi zang known for "crouching tiger hidden dragon" plays a female kung fu master torn between her love for ip man and her desire to avenge her father's death. >> there's one scene that was really difficult, was shot in the train station. because the weather was so cold. i always think wong kar-wai can choose anywhere he wants.

like he chose the coldest possible. every night my hands, my feet are always numb. >> reporter: the dynamic fight scenes kung fu movies have always captivated american audiences. and most will agree that ip man's most famous student, bruce lee, was the catalyst for the collision of asian and american pop culture. lee and kung fu's influence can be seen all over modern pop culture. from keanu reeves in "the matrix." >> i know kung fu. >> reporter: or in the work of a truly american filmmaker like quentin tarantino. >> bruce lee was like -- he was a genius to us. everybody across the world know like michael jackson. you know what i mean? he's just bruce lee. >> reporter: or even with a group of rappers from staten island, new york. ♪ swift ♪ all up in the high-rise

who built a musical empire around a persona culled from a 1983 martial arts film titled "shaolin and wu tang." >> kung fu always had a part of my life because we used to watch the karate flicks. they used to come on at 3:00 and come outside and act like we the snake or something. sss, sss. you know, do all of that. >> reporter: even those from china can appreciate why americans would share their love of kung fu films. >> everyone wants to fly. and wants to have this, you know, special ability. >> reporter: "the grandmaster" echoes the thematic old school martial arts movie. >> it's one storyline i can relate to because a lot of these stories is about revenge or brotherhood or loyalty. ♪ my swag on >> reporter: an inspiration that stuck with raekwon through a career that spanned over two decades with his latest single

released last week. ♪ more money more problems you got to be kidding ♪ and proof that while bruce lee may have passed 40 years ago the story of his grandmaster, ip man, will continue to shape the kung fu legend that endures today. >> what is the true spirit of kung fu? >> i love to call it love at first fight. >> reporter: i'm rebecca jarvis for "nightline," new york. >> "the grandmaster" opens everywhere this friday. next, what was miley cyrus thinking last night on the vmas? our take, next.
