♪ You are so special, how can I be disappointed ♫
Every day at 9:30 a.m., Sister Yi is waiting for you here
Text | Sister Yi (Zhou Guiyi) Sister Shan
Last night, Weibo rushed to a hot search - "Carina Lau presented an award to Tony Leung". Tony Leung won the Asian Film Award for Best Actor, and the award was presented by Carina Lau, who was surprised in disbelief.
Tony Leung won this award, of course, it is worth it.
He is the oily and amorous Wei Xiaobao in "Luding Ji".
is the deaf and mute old man who opened a photo studio in "Tragic City", Lin Wenqing.
It is the lonely urban policeman in "Chongqing Forest", when he talks to soap and towels, countless viewers are completely fallen.
It is Zhou Muyun, a talent in "In the Mood for Love", who wants to talk and rest, and relies on a pen to eat.
In "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren, who was accidentally headshot and fell in the elevator, became one of the most fatalistic tragic heroes in Hong Kong police and bandit films.
In "Color Ring", Mr. Yi, who is ruthless and scheming, is extremely dangerous and extremely tempting.
It is also the elegant and clear "Grandmaster of a Generation", Ip Man.
In the past 40 years, he has created hundreds of roles, thousands of people and thousands of faces, won 3 Golden Horse Actors, 5 Golden Image Actors, and 1 Cannes Actor, and is one of the most awarded actors in China.
Ang Lee said that Tony Leung is the dream of all directors. Zhang Ziyi commented that he is a mountain that the actor cannot climb.
In my impression, this super actor lives at the top of the ivory tower all year round, high and low.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of Tony Leung's entry into the entertainment industry.
Last year, Tony Leung seemed to be suddenly cheerful, and he took the initiative to call Weng Ziguang: Can you make a documentary short film for me?
So, for the first time, we saw him outside of that actor.
(Tony Leung released two documentaries after entering Douyin - "This Moment, Tony Leung Says to You" and "Life Halfway Up the Mountain")
Tony Leung, in addition to being a movie king, another well-known thing is social fear.
In the past 40 years since the film, he has contributed a lot of nervous, cramped, gasping scenes.
At the Academy Awards ceremony, he stumbled onto the stage after getting drunk and contributed the least word acceptance speech in history:
Thank you Wong Kar-wai, thank you!
Reporters who have interviewed him know that Tony Leung cherishes words like gold.
Q: What does cinema mean to him? A: I don't know.
Ask him where he has been lately? A: No.
Is there anything to share with everyone, shake your head desperately.
A reporter wants to talk to him about his works, and asks which position is more important for recent works (middle), including "Heroes" and "2046"?
Tony Leung, who had been pursing his lips and listening carefully, didn't know if he was too nervous or didn't want to answer, and after a long time, he said: I don't understand.
Even He Jiong, who had never been cold in the hosting industry, couldn't do anything every time he faced Tony Leung.
"So can you now say a self-introduction, which is more than 20 words?"
"Nope."
After saying two more words, Tony Leung sweated on the spot, and He Jiong had to terminate the conversation by himself: "Don't be embarrassed for him."
Last year, at the Busan Film Festival, Tony Leung walked the red carpet in a white suit, thinking that he was a gentle and personable male god.
Unexpectedly, Liang Chaowei at the scene, with small movements, desperately breathing deeply, looking around, and looking embarrassed, almost wrote the words "what time is the end" on the door of his brain.
At the press conference, his eyes rolled around, and he performed the magic skill of rubbing his hands on the spot.
He received an award on stage, and did not feel cordial at all in the face of the enthusiastic cheers from the audience and the background song "Dream Man" carefully prepared by the organizers.
As a smirking boy, he bowed and gave a difficult speech: I am honored to receive this award, and I am grateful for the opportunity to come to Busan again and wish the film festival a success.
It took less than a minute to finish the day.
Some netizens once met Tony Leung abroad, and in order to avoid the crowd, he chose a position facing the toilet, as if he had thought about it.
Of course, what makes everyone talk the most is the scene of Tony Leung habitually hiding behind Carina Lau and being forced to open.
The wife charges in front, and the husband swings behind - this couple can be called "internal entertainment wonder".
Netizens said, isn't this me who was forced to see relatives by my mother during the New Year.
(was dragged to the stage by Carina Liu, overwhelmed, and fled in a second)
(I almost couldn't walk without being held by the hand...) ）
But the documentary lets us know that all this is his
childhood
Closely related.
When he was a child, his father was addicted to gambling and often quarreled with his mother, and his childhood was still winter, and after so many years, the smell of rusty bars at home was clearly remembered.
He is especially sensitive, and can only be covered in a quilt and be a crying child.
When he was 10 years old, his father ran away from home and his mother took him and his sister to live with his uncle's house, and since then, he has used to keep all his emotions in his heart.
Fortunately, my mother and uncles like to watch movies, and Tony Leung, who watched movies behind them, found the first color of life.
The first time I saw the movie was Roman Polanski's "The Heavenly Master Catches the Demon", he said: "The 120 minutes of the movie allow me to take a break from real life.
At the age of 15, Tony Leung voluntarily gave up his studies and worked everywhere for the sake of his family.
He worked as a newsboy, sold air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators, and worked as an accountant.
The whole documentary is a journey, following the filming process of the film, looking back at every stage of Tony Leung and the film electrocution over the past 40 years.
The two talked all the way, from "audition" to "entering the play", "starting filming", "starting over", "finishing" and "the future".
In 1982, 20-year-old Tony Leung entered the TVB TVB Artist Training Class because he accompanied his friend Stephen Chow to the exam.
To this day, everyone says that Tony Leung has a pair of talking eyes, is born with talent, and does not need to act at all, but in the early days, Tony Leung was also the eliminated batch.
No one chose him, so he stood by and watched others perform, and was later discovered by his mentor Lin Lizhen before he began to host children's programs.
He bluntly said that Lin Lizhen is the most important person in his acting career, he will lie in her office crying, and always wants to share his achievements with her.
At that time, he also learned a lot of fun acting, such as singing and acrobatics.
Filming on TVB, Tony Leung worked an average of eighteen hours a day, tried not sleeping for seven consecutive days, and his eyes were dry until he kept shedding tears.
In "Infernal Affairs", Tony Leung makes a phone call on the rooftop on the 36th floor, and there are no protective measures.
The classic line of "three years later and three years" is the line that Tony Leung substituted as a character after entering the role.
He has worked with Wong Kar-wai for 20 years, and only he can read Wong Kar-wai's handwriting.
Filming "In the Mood for Love", he was tortured by Wong Kar-wai and ate 26 bowls of wontons in one scene.
Filming "Heroes", a water scene, he broke four ligaments, and then limped for 1 month.
Tony Leung got motion sickness, but because of filming, he had to take a car for six or seven hours a day.
Filming "A Generation of Grandmasters", Tony Leung insisted on practicing Wing Chun for three years, and Dillon praised him for his professionalism.
For the piano clip of just a few minutes of "When the Wind Rises Again", he specially studied with a teacher for three months, practicing 8 hours a day, and did not give up after the film was completed.
Director Desten Clayton described Tony Leung this way: he was always the first person on the set, and he was always ready to do anything for the film.
I believe that these are only the tip of the iceberg for Tony Leung's decades of dedication on the set.
But fortunately, he did not regard filming as a task, but as a channel for venting, a balance in life.
When he gets into these roles, he can completely release the "kid hiding under the covers".
The documentary is very fresh, the light and shadow are floating, the virtual and the real are born, and there is an artistic atmosphere in the elegance.
There is the bright trance shadow of Wong Kar-wai's films, and there is also the vastness and transcendence from "man and nature".
This time, in order to shoot Tony Leung of "Social Terror", Weng Ziguang made a special design from planning to shooting form.
Deliberately pull the place of conversation into a place away from the crowd, and conduct the interview in the way Tony Leung likes to travel.
But even so, Tony Leung still can't get out of "loneliness" in many shots.
Tony Leung, the marriage issue that the public is most concerned about, did not respond positively.
But he said that he enjoyed living alone in Japan, coming to Japan to ski for twenty or thirty years without learning a word of Japanese.
He did it on purpose, because he couldn't understand it, so he wouldn't be disturbed.
He loves nature and sometimes lives at sea for a week, alone.
This almost confirmed the news that he and Liu Jialing had "separated for many years".
There is a mystery case in the entertainment industry for many years, does Tony Leung love Maggie Cheung or Carina Lau?
A reporter once asked him, is there a stage in your life where you want it to stay the most?
A, "38 years old".
At the age of 38, he and Maggie Cheung filmed "In the Mood for Love".
Therefore, for so many years, some people have always said that Tony Leung and Carina Lau look like each other.
Tony Leung remains "alone" all year round, while Carina Lau is active in business all year round, attending business events and keen to attend gatherings of friends.
Carina Lau loves mountain climbing, often posting climbing photos on social platforms, and almost all the mountains in Hong Kong and the mainland have been climbed by her.
Carina Lau has been met by netizens many times to climb mountains with friends, but she has never seen Tony Leung.
But this does not mean that the two people do not interact, on the contrary, carefully looking at Carina Liu's dynamics, you will find that Carina Lau is often by Tony Leung's side.
Since October last year, Carina Lau has frequently posted Weibo related to Tony Leung, and her itinerary is roughly as follows.
From October 6th to October 19th, Carina Lau went to South Korea to accompany Tony Leung to participate in the Busan Film Festival.
Although they did not walk the red carpet together, Carina Lau accompanied the whole process.
They go to afternoon tea and blow the sea breeze.
The two met a lot of friends together and watched various exhibitions.
On October 20, the two returned to Japan together, Tony Leung held a meeting, the two walked around, and Carina Lau also chose seasonal clothes for Tony Leung.
In December, Carina Lau posted a photo of Tony Leung and Edison Chen in Hong Kong.
In January this year, the two were thrown out for a New Year's photo, still in Hong Kong.
In February, the premiere of the 4K digitally restored version of "City of Sorrow", he also went to Taiwan to participate in the premiere.
Therefore, although Tony Leung lives in Japan all year round and is not good at words, the communication between the two is far more than we think.
So why did Tony Leung choose to live alone? Is it really just enjoying solitude?
At the end of "Life Halfway Up the Mountain", Lin Lizhen gave the answer, she excitedly preached that Tony Leung over the years has overcome depression and often greets her on the Internet, like a normal person.
When he said this, Tony Leung couldn't help but wipe his tears with his hands.
"Lonely" and "weird", on the one hand, made the actor Tony Leung, on the other hand, he couldn't live like a normal person.
Carina Lau decorated the house, and Tony Leung ran away from home without saying a word because he couldn't stand strangers at home.
Such a move, in exchange for any couple, is very likely to have a big fight, but Carina Liu will not, she fully understands.
From love to marriage, the two have been together for more than 30 years, and have long become the closest people in each other's lives, even if they do not have children, they have not been like ordinary couples, three meals and four seasons, day by day.
They themselves define the "marriage" that belongs to each other.
Last year, Carina Lau released a photo of Tony Leung riding a bicycle, praising him on the whole network while praising him for his youthful feeling, but also did not forget to praise Carina Lau - a husband under the protection of his wife.
In everyone's impression, Carina Lau is Tony Leung's lucky star, always in front of her husband, who alone takes over everything in marriage and life, unconditionally tolerates and respects all his choices.
But few people know that what Tony Leung gave to Carina Lau was like a child attached to his mother, no matter what age and any encounter, he had unreserved trust.
Tony Leung's career and family money are all taken care of by Carina Lau. She is shrewd, strong, sociable, and often hangs out with male friends for photos, and Tony Leung never minds.
Tony Leung needed Carina Lau the moment, she was there.
And Liu Jialing's darkest moment, he can leave everything behind, and sincerely give a sentence: I will accompany you to leave.
Yang Dechang said that movies are three times life, and Tony Leung, who has been immersed in movies for half of his life, has experienced too many different versions of life and has long understood what he wants.
And Carina Lau has already responded with "we are all adults and wise people".
Carina Lau will soon be sixty years old, still full of vitality and energy, without the slightest shadow of a housewife.
And Tony Leung not only achieved the career of the actor, a certain meaning, but also maintained the mood and face of a sunny boy.
Because of Carina Liu, he is becoming more and more open-minded, no longer depressed, and more and more happy.
(Watching the concert with Carina Lau, after being infected by his wife, Tony Leung finally stretched out his little swinging hand)
This time to settle in Douyin, Liu Jialing wrote three words on Weibo "not easy", which shows that she has put a lot of effort into it.
It is also true that Tony Leung, who has not dared to take risks since he was a child, now wants to jump out of his comfort zone and wants to be with Christopher. Nolan cooperates and also wants to play the clown.
He said that he used to be stupid, and only now has he discovered how to choose how to live.
Tony Leung was very lonely and lucky, and when he reached the year of his ears, he suddenly became cheerful, and he responded to that sentence:
Only those who have experienced extreme misfortune can taste extreme happiness, and only those who have made the determination to die will know how good it is to live.
Have you ever seen Tony Leung like this?
Drink afternoon tea in a small tea house and watch the train, and enjoy the happiness of "no one cares".
Heart-to-heart and lungs to teach the audience the three-piece set of "social fear" and "social cattle".
In laundries, in parks, in cafes, in neighborhood streets...
Cycling on mid-level roads, surfing and skiing.
Drink tea and chat on the top of the mountain, and barbecue and camp in the evening.
He said that when he couldn't stop talking, he always called his friends in the middle of the night to vent his emotions, and when he put down the phone, he found that he had been talking for hours.
He said that I am also an ordinary person, but my job is an actor, and I can only eat one bowl of rice, and I will not eat ten bowls of rice.
In front of the camera, he finally relaxed.
At the end of the documentary, Tony Leung and Zhuang Wenqiang sat on the mountain barbecue and chatted, night slowly fell, the sky suddenly lit up fireworks, Zhuang Wenqiang said, I hope you shoot more works, because recently found that you are on the rise.
Yes, 60-year-old Tony Leung came to the scenic halfway up the mountain during his life's journey.
His life is waiting for the next fireworks.
And I just want to bless, Liang Sheng, please be free for the rest of my life.
