During the Spring Festival of 2023, Tony Leung, who had been away from the big screen for a long time, actually released two movies at the same time, "No Name" and "When the Wind Rises Again".
Among them, "No Name" did well at the box office, but its reputation was polarized.
As for "When the Wind Rises Again", both the box office and word-of-mouth collapsed.
Not only that, since "The Grandmaster", Tony Leung's films "The Ferryman", "European Raiders", "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", and "Monster Hunt 2" have all been criticized as "bad films". ".
What's interesting is that regardless of whether it's a "bad film" or a "good film", Tony Leung hardly participates in the promotion, as if it has nothing to do with him. After
finished filming, no one knows where he will appear in the next second.
As a star in the entertainment industry, why is Tony Leung so mysterious?
2023 marks the 40th anniversary of Tony Leung's official debut.
Generally speaking, Tony Leung, who debuted for 40 years, should be called an "old actor".
That's right, Tony Leung has been praised many times for his acting skills. Director Ang Lee praised him:
"He is a director's dream. He is what kind of actor you dream of." It is a great blessing for the director to give such affirmation and praise, and it also shows that Tony Leung's acting skills are really great. People in the
circle couldn't be more affirmative to him, so he won the best actor countless times.
has debuted for 40 years, but Tony Leung has always had an unknown "problem".
All of this may start with Tony Leung's character.
all know that such an identity as a celebrity needs to be exposed to the public frequently, even introverted people, after a long period of training, can behave calmly in front of the crowd.
For example: When Jay Chou first debuted, when he attended variety shows, he basically pushed down his peaked cap, bowed his head, played the piano and sang.
A few years later, Jay Chou has become a humorous and magic-loving Jay Chou.
Another example: When Xiao Jingteng debuted, he was called "the first brother who saves words". When answering questions, he basically only said "en".
A few years later, Xiao Jingteng will be able to host "Singer" on stage.
As for Tony Leung, who has been in the entertainment industry for 40 years, he is still not good at speaking, reticent, not good at socializing with others, and even a little "social fear".
Felix Wong said:
"After work, we often hang out together, but Leung Chiu Wai was very disappointed and almost didn't participate."
"Leung Chiu Wai has a weird personality, he is a difficult person to get in touch with, and he doesn't communicate well."
Huang Rihua and Leslie Cheung did not know that Tony Leung's disappointment was not intentional, but related to his childhood experience.
Recently, Tony Leung made a documentary short film, which rarely talked about childhood, about entering the industry, about the details of filming, and about the changes in his mood over the past few years.
He also responded to "social fear" for the first time:
"I just don't want to talk to people. I have been like this since I was a child. It has never changed. I enjoy being alone."
It turns out that when he was 7 years old, his parents divorced.
Afterwards, the father left.
Since then, Tony Leung, who was originally cheerful and lively, suddenly became taciturn and buried all his thoughts deeply in his heart. When
was 15 years old, he dropped out of school and started working part-time to help take care of the family.
He has worked many jobs, including newspaper boy, accountant, handyman, and selling clothes and home appliances.
A little boy who doesn't know much about the world, he was originally in his prime, when he was in high spirits in the classroom. But
entered the society early, saw the warmth and coldness of the world, and experienced things that people of his age did not experience.
Coincidentally, there was a friend named Zhou Xingchi, who was also looking around at a loss, and "suggested" Tony Leung to apply for the Hong Kong wireless training class together.
Strangely, Tony Leung was admitted, but Stephen Chow failed.
That year, Tony Leung was 20 years old.
And maybe it is that kind of sensitive character that gave him the talent to become an actor, and also gave him a pair ofMelancholy eyes. Everyone should know the story after
.
released his true self in acting, and Tony Leung dedicated all his talents to works and roles.
So he began to overcome difficulties, won numerous awards, and created countless classic roles.
Of course, there is a famous scene that has been talked about by countless people, the rooftop duel in "Infernal Affairs".
and the classic line that will never be forgotten:
"I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."
But the achievements in performance did not make Tony Leung change himself, on the contrary, he became more and more painful. After
won countless movie stars, he still said in an interview with Luyu:
"I'm afraid of being noticed by the crowd, I feel like an animal in a zoo; I always feel awkward standing on stage, always at a loss, don't know what to do What are you doing?"
Later, Tony Leung and Carina Lau got married.
But what outsiders don't know is that when Tony Leung goes out, he often doesn't bring Carina Lau with him.
Carina Lau, who also has constant film appointments, is extremely busy, so it is normal for the two to live apart for a few months.
When gathering less and leaving more, it is often Carina Lau who takes the initiative to find Leung Chiu Wai who lives in seclusion in other places.
Why didn't Tony Leung take the initiative to find Carina Lau?
Because everyone knows that Tony Leung is very busy, he will fly for a few hours to feed the pigeons abroad.
He used to go skiing in Japan every winter.
Later, as he stopped taking dramas frequently and had more free time, Tony Leung would spend a period of time in Japan every year, living his life for 20 years with all his plans.
This is Tony Leung's favorite state of life. He enjoys solitude and finds fun in it.
Maybe in foreign countries, there are very few people who know him, which makes Tony Leung feel a sense of relief.
He doesn't like the feeling of being surrounded by spotlights and surrounded by stars. He prefers to sit in a coffee shop on the corner of the street, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window in a daze.
Don’t think that living in Japan for 20 years will change Tony Leung, he still doesn’t know a word of Japanese. The reason for
is simple, because he doesn't talk to people.
Rather than talking to people, he would rather watch the green train for a while.
But Tony Leung is comfortable, can his marriage with Carina Lau last long?
The answer is yes.
Because at home, Tony Leung was pampered and didn't know what to ask.
Even when he was decorating his home, he "run away" with the suitcase in hand without explaining a word.
Carina Lau didn't even bother to ask, after all it was meaningless to ask him.
But not asking doesn't mean Carina Lau doesn't love him.
The fact is exactly the opposite, Carina Lau knows him too well.
How could Carina Lau beside him not know about the famous scene of Tony Leung attending the ceremony.
Carina Lau once said in an interview that in this world, it is very difficult to find someone who understands herself like Tony Leung.
After all, after what happened to her, Tony Leung still persisted and took good care of her.
This friendship is unforgettable for Carina Lau and will never be forgotten.
Time flies, and the sea has changed.
Tony Leung has been in the arts for 40 years.
When the movie's reputation and box office were not good, he suddenly went uncharacteristically, started social media promotion, and started shooting documentaries again. He even talked with his old friend Zhuang Wenqiang for a whole day without a break.
This change may have been influenced by Carina Lau's meticulous care and influence over the years.
Maybe Tony Leung reconciled with himself.
In short, the 61-year-old Tony Leung is suddenly no longer mysterious, and has become cheerful, optimistic, and down-to-earth.
