On March 27, the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee announced that Tony Leung and Italian female director Liliana Cavani won the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement together.
The relevant person in charge of the Venice Film Festival said that Tony Leung's performances span different genres such as TV dramas, pop culture and art films: "In an extraordinary career that transcends national borders, Tony Leung is a very charismatic performer. He is recognized as one of the most important actors of his generation. As a unique star in the pan-Asian and global arena, he continues to establish himself in the evolving screen culture, deconstructing the traditional concept of 'male star', bringing a compelling sensibility to each character he plays. ”
Tony Leung has been in the industry for more than 40 years, and three film works have won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, namely "City of Sorrow", "Tricycle Driver" and "Lust and Caution". Tony Leung has participated in more than 100 film and television works, and has won important awards such as Best Actor at the Academy Awards for many times. Recently, with the release of films such as "Nameless" and "When the Wind Rises", the audience has found that Tony Leung's performance is as steady as ever, and he breaks through himself, cooperating with directors of different styles to show different aspects of being an actor. The characters in the two films are still complex characters that Tony Leung is good at, the characters are confusing, hiding thunderous energy under a calm posture, and can fully show their acting skills.
Chinese filmmakers who previously won the Venice Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award include directors John Woo and Xu Anhua.
Recently, the movie "Dragon Horse Spirit" posted a video of Jackie Chan interviewing in the background, and Jackie Chan talked about the difficult situation of action actors, which caused heated discussions among netizens.
Jackie Chan said, "I also wanted to find a second Jackie Chan, but it was very difficult and the market didn't need it. It's useless to do any good work, now you must look good, you don't need to make a scene, just stand there." "People with good kung fu, will there be a boss who finds a big director and uses 50 or 60 million to film him?" Jackie Chan choked up at his rhetorical question and said, "No." He is very distressed about the current situation of action actors, and hopes that they can be seen, hoping to return to the glory days of the past, and those real action boys will have a chance."
Some netizens comforted: "Jackie Chan is still making action movies at 70, it looks very distressing, don't fight so hard." "Jackie Chan responded: I used to fight for life, then I fought for fans, and now I fight for myself, hoping to prove that I can still do actions that ordinary 70-year-olds can't do, as long as I can still play, I hope to have a play for the audience every year." As long as I can move, I will definitely do it for you to see. ”
In response to the statement that Jackie Chan does not need kung fu actors in the market, netizens have talked about it. Some people say that now action movies are not the most popular films for the public, psychological thrillers, suspense films, brain-burning films, romance films and other popular works, there are not many works that need action actors. Some netizens also said that the current market does not need it, but perhaps the audience still needs it, that is, there are too few good-looking kung fu films now. Some netizens also said that they hope that Jackie Chan's kung fu films can be passed on.
