1905 Movie Network Special Article The movie "Goldfinger" is currently in theaters. The film that attracts the most attention is undoubtedly the collaboration between Tony Leung and Andy Lau after 20 years. Recently, Tony Leung and Andy Lau were guests at Lan Yu's living room, where they talked about interesting things about their cooperation over the years and looked back on the years they spent together with the audience.
In "Goldfinger", Tony Leung plays the arrogant, domineering and ambitious Cheng Yiyan. In the past years, he has been the gentle and elegant Zhou Muyun, the deep and wise Ip Man, the taciturn Can Jian, the tolerant and restrained Chen Yongren, and even the reserved police officer 663.
This time can be said to be Tony Leung's most contrasting role in recent years. Even he himself felt that no movie before could make him so arrogant.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai said frankly that he tried his best to make himself more exaggerated on the set, hoping to use a very arrogant way to perform the changes in the character. The look the crew designed for him helped him get into the role a lot. According to reports, the character modeling is divided into three stages, from the 1970s to the 1980s, and each stage is different.
also came from the TVB artist training class. Tony Leung and Andy Lau became familiar friends while filming the drama "The Deer and the Cauldron". Later, they gradually consolidated their deep friendship and good understanding through co-productions such as "The Fight of the Horse", "Five Tigers Divided", and "Infernal Affairs". Now that they are collaborating again after more than 20 years, Andy Lau laments that although a long time has passed, the feeling is no different.
"I have been partnering with Andy Lau for many years." Tony Leung's first impression of Andy Lau stayed on the set. The first work they collaborated on was the Hong Kong drama "Falcon". "At that time, I was very envious of him as soon as he came out. The protagonist, I was still a supporting role at that time."
After the drama became popular, Tony Leung once tried to rest in the company because he had no money to take a taxi home. "Sometimes I finish work too late and start work too early the next day, so I sleep in the corridor of the company. Because there are no buses, I have to take a taxi, which is very expensive."
"I have no choice but to work 22 hours a day. I don’t even have enough time to go home. I might just sleep for an hour or two before getting up again.” Andy Lau still remembers that almost every important actor slept in the company.
Recalling the state of his old friend when he was young, Andy Lau bluntly said that Tony Leung was "very talented". Tony Leung felt that Andy Lau "has infinite energy". Having worked together for decades in the film industry, both of them have now become heavyweight actors in Hong Kong films.
Looking forward to the future, Tony Leung believes that Andy Lau is more suitable to be a director than himself, "Because he has many ideas, I think a director must have his own ideas."
Andy Lau responded with a smile, if there is an opportunity to invite Tony Leung to star in his directorial work, I still hope that like "Goldfinger", I can leave him a public role.
