Recently, Tony Leung attended the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, and also met the director of "Squid Game". The two talked very happily, and netizens also looked forward to their cooperation.
's wife Carina Lau acted as an agent, publicist, and spokesperson throughout the process, taking handsome photos for Tony Leung and taking him to various social events.
Since the filming of "Shang Qi" in Hollywood , Tony Leung's development circle has become wider and wider, and even the Korean film circle has begun to dabble.
Looking back on Tony Leung's development over the years, one cannot help but sigh that he is much more shrewd than Andy Lau , who is also an enemy and a friend of the same period.
The so-called "smart" can be understood as: shoot whatever is popular.
In 2016, Tony Leung participated in " Ferryman ". Although the show gathered a lot of popular stars of the year, the movie is like "using the most precious ingredients to fry a dish that is hard to swallow".
Even if there are Yang Ying , Luhan , Eason Chan , Jincheng Wu and so on, it will not work.
In 2018, Tony Leung partnered with Wu Moumou and Tang Yan to star in " Europe Raiders ". At that time, the combination of actor + traffic became popular.
's film in the same period is Huang Bo + Zhang Yixing . In the end, " A Good Show " received 1.3 billion box office, while "Europe Raiders" only had 153 million. For a long time after that, Tony Leung did not film, and he almost equated with a "bad movie".
In 2020, he decided to appear in "Shang Qi", as if he wanted to borrow the name of Marvel to regain his confidence in his career. In the midst of the monstrous discussion, Tony Leung became popular again.
In 2021, Tony Leung will play " nameless " by the talented director Cheng Er, partnering with top stream Wang Yibo . Recently, they also made a magazine together and are warming up for the release of the movie.
In the past 5 years, Tony Leung has not been very productive, but from the few works he can see, he is "chasing the trend".
looked through his agency and found that he had long since terminated the contract with his former employer, and now all his career is in his hands, while his wife, Carina Lau, acts as a staff member.
reasonably speculates that in recent years, Tony Leung's career development, and what dramas he meets with whom, it is indispensable that Carina Lau strategizes and controls the direction of Tony Leung's career.
Carina Lau is not only an actress, but also a businessman. Her investment career is quite successful. It is said that she owns multiple properties in the Mainland and Hong Kong, and is a veritable invisible rich woman. Businessmen are profit-seeking, and naturally they go wherever they make money and gain popularity.
Andy Lau, who is Tony Leung's "life-long rival", has had a completely different development from Tony Leung over the years.
If we say that the former Liang and Liu are the representatives of Hong Kong movies, and now, only Andy Lau is still sticking to Hong Kong movies.
In the past ten years, due to the downturn in the Hong Kong circle, Andy Lau has made a lot of bad films, but there are also some excellent works that can show the final glory of the Hong Kong circle, such as " blind detective ", " bomb disposal expert ", "" "Chasing the Dragon ", " Sweeping Drugs ", etc., especially " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" in 2020 successfully won 1.3 billion box office, which means "the Hong Kong circle is not dead".
In Andy Lau's upcoming films, they are basically Hong Kong films, such as "Sneak", "Wine Into Wine", " Gold Finger ", etc. Among them, "Gold Finger" is the re-cooperation between Andy Lau and Tony Leung after more than 20 years.
Maybe going around, Tony Leung will find that the Hong Kong film industry is the most suitable soil for his career.
Of course, in addition to Andy Lau, there are Gu Tianle , Wang Jing and others are also sticking to Hong Kong TVfilm. The audience complained that Gu Tianle made too many bad films, but as long as Gu Tianle insisted on acting in movies, filmmakers in the Hong Kong circle would have work and food to eat.
Gu Tianle makes money, will help the bottom-level artists in the Hong Kong circle, and will use the money for charity. This year, Gu Tianle launched the mecha sci-fi film " Tomorrow's War ", which he has been preparing for many years, and the box office in the mainland currently reaches 670 million.
Gu Tianle not only perseveres, but also has feelings.
Wang Jing knew that he had become a "bad movie maker", but he disagreed. Although fast food movies are of low quality, every time Wang Jing starts work, he can support hundreds of people. Even if he can't make a good work, Wang Jing is still doing something for Hong Kong movies.
Of course, the contrast is not to criticize Tony Leung. Although Tony Leung was born out of Hong Kong movies, it does not mean that he is bound to the Hong Kong circle for life.
It's just that some people seem smart, but they stick to it stupidly; it's just that some people seem to be cute, but they are actually smarter than everyone thinks. Again, this is not a critique, it's just that everyone's choice is different.
Tony Leung is 60 years old, but he has already achieved "do whatever he wants without breaking the rules". No matter which choice it is, I hope they can bring more classic masterpieces!
