Recently, at the age of 61, the low-key actor Tony Leung has ushered in his "hot search" after a long absence, but it is not about his film and television works, but because he starred in the latest MV of the Korean girl group NewJeans. In the MV, Tony Leung dyed his hair with silver, generously showing the wrinkles and sagging skin on his face. Some people lamented that "the male god is late", and some praised the male god who is still so handsome when he is old. The eyes in the MV are as always full of storytelling. Tony Leung is indeed a typical example of the natural aging of Hong Kong's old-fashioned male god. Whether it is on the screen or in private photos, he has never deliberately managed his appearance, his temples are gray, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiles does not reduce his charm, but gives people a comfortable sense of tranquility. But this time, Tony Leung's beauty could not save him. Tony Leung's cameo appearance in the Korean girl group's MV caused dissatisfaction among many domestic netizens. First, netizens felt that Tony Leung's status in China was too low for a guest appearance in a young Korean girl group, and he was promoting the Korean girl group. So netizens expressed that they did not understand why Tony Leung did this, and ridiculed him for money, earning everything. However, the sarcasm of netizens is sarcasm. In fact, Tony Leung's guest appearance is actually zero pay, which makes domestic netizens even more dissatisfied, thinking that Tony Leung is trying to curry favor with Korean stars. Second, some netizens revealed that Tony Leung was a guest star in the MV of the Korean girl group. The girl group had previously caused dissatisfaction among domestic netizens for allegedly misappropriating Chinese culture. Before, one of the members of the girl group encountered large-scale abuse from Korean netizens for using "Happy Chinese New Year" during the New Year. After that, the member apologized and corrected. Previously, the girl group also promoted "tea culture" and "paper culture" on Korean programs, treating it as Korean local cultural propaganda and suspected of misappropriating Chinese culture. Because of this incident, some netizens began to examine Tony Leung's various "confusing" behaviors in recent years, such as his previous appearance in movies suspected of insulting China, his frequent shooting of bad movies to boost traffic, his cameo appearance in the MV of a Korean girl group suspected of "misappropriating culture", each of which disappointed netizens. Some netizens summed up Tony Leung: No security for the late festival. Some netizens also ridiculed, so I like Andy Lau. As a national first-class actor, he has won Best Actor 9 times and is the only domestic actor who has won Cannes Best Actor. Why did the 61-year-old Tony Leung ruin his reputation in his later years? 1. Living in Japan for a long time In recent years, more and more stars have immigrated and moved abroad. Although it is everyone’s freedom to settle where they live, because these stars got a lot of resources and training in China when they were young, and also earned a lot of assets. In their later years, they went to settle abroad. This behavior of "making money at home and spending abroad" has indeed hurt the hearts of many netizens to a certain extent. As a national first-class actor, Tony Leung's salary was once as high as 70 million, and the real estate accumulated over the years was as high as 500 million, but he also chose to live abroad for a long time in his later years. Tony Leung did not immigrate or emigrate abroad, but because he likes skiing, he has the habit of going to Japan for skiing more than 20 years ago. As he grows older, he has more and more free time, so he can live in Japan for most of the past two years. Netizens also often posted photos of encountering Tony Leung in Japan. His life in Japan is very down-to-earth. Sometimes he dresses low-key and wanders alone on the street, sometimes he goes to a restaurant to eat alone, and picks a corner where there is no one, even if the opposite is a toilet. Sometimes, you can also see photos of Tony Leung and other domestic stars traveling to Japan. There is also a group photo of Tony Leung at a gathering with his friends and celebrities in Japan. Rumor has it that in recent years, Carina Lau would go to Japan to accompany Tony Leung when she was free. However, Carina Lau was mostly active in China, so the two had been in different places for a long time. Tony Leung revealed in a program some time ago that he has been going skiing in Japan for more than 20 to 30 years, but he has not learned Japanese in the past few decades because he is unwilling to socialize. Compared with his wife, Carina Lau, who has frequently come to the mainland to settle activities in the past two years, netizens do not have as much affection for Tony Leung as Carina Lau. Second, frequently making bad movies and starring in movies suspected of insulting China. In the entire history of Hong Kong movies, Tony Leung is considered an indelible existence.Ang Lee once gave Tony Leung a very high evaluation. It is a great fortune to be able to make a deep movie with Tony Leung. However, since "The Grandmaster" in 2013, the number of Tony Leung's works has dropped sharply. From 2016 to 2018, he only made 3 films, "The Ferryman", "Monster Hunt 2" and "European Raiders". But these three movies are all bad movies, and the ratings on a certain platform do not exceed 5 points. The lowest score is "Europe Raiders" with only 3.5 points, which makes Tony Leung sit on the seat of "King of Bad Movies". By 2021, Tony Leung seems to have started to ask for the script, taking over the villain role in "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in the Hollywood blockbuster Marvel series. However, this work after three years of absence made Tony Leung almost lose the festival, because when "Shang Qi" was first promoted, netizens found that the villain played by Tony Leung was suspected of insulting China. Although Marvel readjusted the character under the resistance of domestic netizens, and there was nothing wrong with the final work, this incident did affect Tony Leung's reputation among netizens to a certain extent. At that time, Tony Leung explained that he didn't know much about the role when he first took it. He only knew that he was playing a villain role. He thought it was very challenging, so he took it. But as an important first-class actor in China, when acting in foreign works, is it better to know in advance whether there will be anything wrong with the role? Third, the Hong Kong circle is lonely, and self-help failed. Of course, Tony Leung also tried "self-help". After experiencing bad movies, since last year, Tony Leung has been stricter in the selection of scripts. He starred in "When the Wind Rises Again" and "No Name". Unfortunately, these two films did not become a big hit. "When the Wind Rises Again" is far less popular than the "Hong Kong-style movies" made by Louis Koo in the mainland. Although "No Name" has been highly discussed in the mainland because of Wang Yibo's relationship, its box office reputation has obviously lost to the movies released at the same time. Wang Yibo's fans even blamed Tony Leung for being a "low cost-effective" actor who held back "No Name" and was not worth the 60 million paycheck at all. Tony Leung has worked hard. In order to promote the movie, he also opened a short video account in the mainland at the beginning of the year, which is very rare for a person who recognizes "social terror". Even a socially phobic person like Tony Leung, seeing his career in a slump, had to jump out of his "comfort zone". So he not only opened a short video account in the mainland, but also made the program "Life Halfway up the Mountain", and began to "create a sense of presence". But Tony Leung's "failure" was not his own "failure", but the desolation of the entire Hong Kong circle. Look at Tony Leung's peak period, which was also the peak period of Hong Kong movies. At that time, he had the top resources and scripts to show his strength. But now with the decline of the Hong Kong circle, even the best acting skills without a good script are useless. In today's Hong Kong film industry in Hong Kong, even Jackie Chan's "Dragon Horse Spirit" and Chow Yun-fat's "I'm Not the God of Gamblers" have failed, which shows that relying on actors alone is not enough. Now the Hong Kong movie circle, either insists on making local movies, or like Emperor and Louis Koo has been making "cop and bandit themes", it is obvious that Tony Leung has not entered the circle of Louis Koo. Or, like Andy Lau, he started to get close to the mainland film capital circle, and even successfully caught up with Wu Jing's "The Wandering Earth" series, and the Hong Kong and mainland circles were mixed up. Looking at Tony Leung's upcoming works, I am afraid that the most anticipated one is "Goldfinger" with Andy Lau. The cooperation between the two after "Infernal Affairs" is indeed very interesting. Whether the 61-year-old actor Tony Leung can save his "decentness" is still unknown. Return to Sohu to view more responsible editors:
