Leung Ka-fai won the Academy Award for his first leading film at the age of 25, when he couldn't even speak Mandarin well, he counted the numbers of lines he did, the director asked him to do whatever he wanted, he didn't know what he was acting after filming, and he often asked himself what he was doing? It wasn't until after filming "New Dragon Gate Inn" that I felt that I would not have a problem with any scenes I would shoot in the future.
Released in 1983, "Hanging Curtains and Listening to the Government" was the first lead role film played by Leung Ka-fai, in collaboration with Liu Xiaoqing, who played the Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was only 25 years old, and he had no experience, he couldn't even speak Mandarin well, he counted the numbers of lines, and he didn't know what he did after filming, but he won the Third Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Actor, so he often asked himself, what do I rely on?
In an interview program, he recalled: "That year, when they didn't expect to announce the best actor, they called me on stage, which was a great joy for me, but I knew in my heart that this award should not be taken by me, I didn't even speak Mandarin well, on the set or 1234 hands, all my performances were directed by the director, the director told me to take five steps forward, the director told me to go back and I turned back, I didn't know what I was playing, and I took the best actor, what did I rely on?" ”
It wasn't until he finished filming "New Dragon Gate Inn" in 1992 that he felt that his acting skills had matured, and no matter what role he played in the future, there would be no problem. After that, he filmed many classic works such as "East into West", "East Evil and West Poison", "Water Margin Hero" and so on, at that time, he played a decent character, did not play his real strength, and later began to play a villain, directly named a god.
He is the one with the most awards for Hong Kong actors, the best acting skills, and also the one recognized by the most people, known as the Emperor of a Thousand Faces. No matter what type of role he can easily get started, he has made more than a hundred movies, what type of roles have been acted, each of them can not be faulted, even the action movies are quite wonderful, which shows how good his acting skills are.
I don't know if you like the villain role played by Leung Ka Fai or the positive role? What is your favorite role for him?
