preface
In April this year, a documentary called "Life Halfway Up the Mountain" thoroughly exposed the true face of actor Tony Leung.
Tony Leung, who debuted more than 40 years ago and left countless classic roles on the screen, is actually a "senior social terrorist" in private.
It stands to reason that the life of a star always needs to face all kinds of people, even if it is an introvert, in this environment, it is estimated that it has already become "exquisite"!
However, Tony Leung, who said everything on the screen, is a taciturn person in life as always.
Now 61 years old, Tony Leung has lived in Japan for a long time, and in a foreign country, he has embarked on a road of his own!
"Weird" in the entertainment industry
Some time ago, Tony Leung, who has always been low-key, exposed his personal life, and fans couldn't help but sigh:
"It turns out that you are such a person".
In the documentary, Tony Leung shows us his truest self, no one in this world can experience all the excitement, but can enjoy all of himself.
Anyone who knows Tony Leung will say that he is a "strange" in the entertainment industry, as a star, he does not like to socialize, but loves to be alone.
The reason why he chose to live in Japan is also because Tony Leung was introduced to skiing when he was young, so he now spends most of his free time in Japan.
Compared with China, there are not so many people who know Tony Leung here, as he himself said: "People who have not seen my movies will not know who I am."
Because of this, Tony Leung can return all his little emotions to himself.
For a person who doesn't like to socialize, maybe in this place where no one cares, he can frolic like a child.
As for the question that everyone has been saying that he is afraid of society, Tony Leung also generously expressed his thoughts in front of the camera:
"I just don't want to talk to people, it's been like this since I was a child, it's never changed, I enjoy being alone."
Even in order to get rid of socialization, or even not be social at all, Tony Leung even deliberately created a "language barrier" living environment for himself.
Having lived in Japan for so long, Tony Leung has not learned a word of Japanese, of course, he probably can't use a few sentences before.
Maybe if you can't understand the chatter of the people around you, you will have a lot less troubles, which is exactly the atmosphere that Tony Leung has been pursuing.
Today's 61-year-old Tony Leung is also an "older actor", and may disappear from the screen in the near future.
For such a thing, Tony Leung does not care, perhaps this is what he has been looking forward to.
Maybe by then, Tony Leung will take the initiative to "live in isolation" and completely return to the real "little boy"!
And the reason why Tony Leung is so disgusted and even afraid of social interaction may have a lot to do with his childhood.
The pain of childhood lasts a lifetime
Many people say that an unfortunate childhood needs to be healed with a lifetime, and Tony Leung's childhood also led to him never being able to become an extrovert.
Tony Leung, who was born in Hong Kong, was also a naughty child since he was a child, and his lively and cheerful appearance is difficult to put him together with him who is now afraid of society.
The family is also very happy and warm, a good family environment is very important for children, and all this comes to an end with the breakdown of the parents' marriage relationship.
It is said that marriage is the graveyard of love, and the love of Tony Leung's parents was eventually defeated by the "trivial" things in reality.
Tony Leung doesn't know when the laughter at home disappeared, accompanied by the ubiquitous noise.
The amiable father who used to be is also gone, accompanied by a drunken father who spends all day drinking to relieve his worries.
After that, the cheerful and lively Tony Leung became a silent cry when he heard the quarrel.
Even when his parents quarreled, Tony Leung's crying was covered by his mouth, and only a wet patch inside the quilt proved that he had cried.
Tony Leung looks forward to the day when the family can return to the way it was before, but one day, the last friendship between his parents is consumed, and he has since become a single-parent family.
After the fight, Tony Leung began to become sensitive, and every time he passed in front of the neighborhood, he would always feel that the people around him were staring at him all the time.
In the "imaginary" fingers and fingers of Tony Leung, he became more and more introverted, and even unwilling to talk more, hiding when he met the crowd, and bowing his head when he looked at others.
Under such troubles and family environment, Tony Leung was "eliminated" by the school early and began to enter the society.
Later, when he was working, Tony Leung found the best way to release emotions, that is, watching movies, watching actors on the screen who could release emotions arbitrarily, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.
However, an introverted and sensitive person naturally does not say his thoughts to the people around him.
Among Tony Leung's few friends, there is also a "weirdo" in everyone's eyes, that is, the comedy master Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow's yearning for acting makes Tony Leung very happy, and the two often watch movies together and discuss movies.
Later, when there was an actor training class in Hong Kong to recruit people, Stephen Chow planned to sign up, and Tony Leung only dared to say: "I wish you success."
However, Stephen Chow insisted on pulling Tony Leung to sign up together, but Tony Leung could only go with him, but he was very happy in his heart.
Because if he was allowed to go by himself, he would definitely not dare to go.
However, fate is always very tricky, Stephen Chow was not admitted, but Tony Leung, who was only a promise, was accidentally recruited.
In this way, a little boy who was afraid of society entered the noisy entertainment circle.
It is difficult to change the true color of "social fear" when becoming a movie king
It is said that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and those who enter it will inevitably be dyed with various colors, but this statement obviously does not work for people like Tony Leung.
Tony Leung probably didn't expect that the sensitive introversion he cultivated as a child would make him completely shine in the entertainment industry.
Thanks to his sensitivity to emotions, Tony Leung is more blessed than ordinary people when figuring out roles.
Many people say that Tony Leung is dedicated, but you may not know that Tony Leung worked so hard to avoid the attention of others.
When playing the role, Tony Leung can arbitrarily regard himself as the character itself and vent all his emotions.
Subsequently, Tony Leung began to shine in the entertainment industry, leaving many classic works and roles for everyone, and also became a role model for countless future actors.
Chen Yongren, who is "bold and careful" in "Infernal Affairs", Mr. Yi, the "cold and elegant" agent of "Color Ring", and even Ouyang Feng, who is "funny and vicious" in "East Becomes West".
When playing these roles, Tony Leung can completely let go of himself, hide behind the role, and give everything he has to the character itself.
Under such a dedicated attitude, Tony Leung, who has been in the industry for 40 years, has won a total of 9 actor awards, leading the list of actor trophies, and is known as the "most capable person" by industry insiders.
However, the all-powerful Tony Leung on the screen, once he leaves the coat of the character, he will immediately change back to the "social fear boy".
According to Tony Leung's achievements in the entertainment industry, which red carpet, award ceremony or whatever, it should be "domineering".
But when Tony Leung was interviewed, he still couldn't hide his "little nervousness", and when facing the interview, he always rubbed his fingers unconsciously like a primary school student waiting for criticism from his teacher.
In the face of the spotlight on the red carpet, the long-famous Tony Leung is even more uncomfortable, he feels like a "monkey" being watched, uncomfortable.
When his friend Leslie Cheung died, countless people burst into tears and couldn't bear to die.
As a close friend who has been with Leslie Cheung for a long time, when facing this sadness, Tony Leung did not shed a single tear during the whole process.
Many people think that Tony Leung is cold-blooded and ruthless, and the death of his friend does not even feel the slightest sadness from him.
But Tony Leung's answer was distressing: "I'm afraid, I express my emotions on that occasion, and I don't dare."
Perhaps this is the best portrayal of a "senior social terrorist", cautiously facing everything around him.
So, why did such a Tony Leung find Carina Lau of the "social cow ceiling" as his wife?
Soul mate
Speaking of the marriage of Tony Leung and Carina Lau, it is inevitable to mention a person, and this person is Maggie Cheung.
The former Tony Leung held Maggie Cheung with one hand and Carina Lau with the other, and the three walked the red carpet together.
At that time, Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung's performance in the movie "In the Mood for Love" made countless fans see what "romance" is.
At that time, this pair of Bi people, just like the name of the movie, were in the "in the mood for life", Tony Leung was at the peak of his acting value, and Maggie Cheung was also the best age for women.
The outside world has always believed that the two are a match made in heaven, whether it is from the personality temperament or the status of the film industry, the two are very suitable.
However, while the audience was waiting for the good news, Tony Leung turned his head and married Carina Lau.
At the beginning, whether it was industry insiders or fan friends, it was not optimistic, and even felt that they would separate sooner or later.
After all, Carina Lau is notoriously strong, and it is difficult to imagine that a "social fear" will be happy to meet such a strong woman.
However, the marriage of the two has gone hand in hand for 15 years, and the two still respect each other like guests, looking at this momentum, it is estimated that they are in love.
Due to Tony Leung's experience as a child, he had no confidence in educating his children.
And in order to cater to Tony Leung, Carina Lau chose to be a Dinker husband and wife with him.
Unlike Tony Leung, Carina Lau likes to socialize very much and is completely a standard "social cow".
Perhaps the combination of the two is truly complementary, and the restrained and gentle Tony Leung and the straightforward and outgoing Carina Lau are not a match made in heaven!
However, when such a couple walked the red carpet, the scene was still very interesting, and netizens said: "This is an aunt leading a child out to shop."
Such a couple who have walked through strong winds and waves are naturally more emotional than Jinjian.
Today's Tony Leung has less and less work and more time for himself.
The couple are used to being lively, and the other enjoys loneliness, leaving a certain space for both parties, and seeing each other from time to time, it is also very happy.
Husband and wife themselves are not tolerant of each other, maybe the two can also "distance produces beauty"!
epilogue
When riding alone and climbing mountains alone, Tony Leung gave back his loneliness to himself.
In the entertainment industry of chasing fame and profit, Tony Leung, who can completely separate roles and life, has embarked on his own road!
