Tony Leung earlier became the first Chinese actor to win the "80th Venice Film Festival" awarded the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement, today he returned to Hong Kong by early flight in the dark rain, a large number of media have been waiting at the airport, at about 9:18 a.m., a jeans-dressed, energetic Tony Leung appeared in the airport lounge passage with his wife Carina Lau with the Golden Lion Award, and Tony Leung also happily held the award for the media to take pictures.
In an interview, Tony Leung pointed out that the feeling of winning the award this time is different from the past, because this time he feels the efforts of the past 41 years: "The most moving thing is that people on the stage stand up and applaud, feeling as if they have an explanation for themselves, I have always thought that after working hard for so many years, doing so many things, a person usually treats people and does things, not to others, but to himself, at that moment I feel that these 41 years have finally been explained to themselves." ”
Referring to the tears after going on stage, Tony Leung said that because all the people in the audience stood up at that moment: "Ang Lee talked about what I did at the scene, I didn't realize that I was like this, and after he said it, I found that I was like this, and I heard that I already had some (wanted to cry). He pointed out that because all the people in the audience are also filmmakers, they all stood up and applauded for a long time, so the feeling was very different. Q: Was it more touching to have Ang Lee present the award? Tony Leung said: "No, it's a lot of diversity, not just the same. ”
Share the honor with the public
Regarding being accused of winning glory for Hong Kong after winning the award, Tony Leung pointed out that the film is not a person, but a team work and group work: "I think that over the years, I started as a TV station, by giving me the opportunity to do "430 Shuttle", inspired by many good directors to have the opportunity to make "Senior Brother Xinza", in fact, director To Qifeng, also inspired me a lot of things, doesn't this award belong to them? The tea and clothing are not personal, so I think everyone made me who I am, and I was lucky to have it picked up by me. (So you sent this award to Hong Kong?) I think it belongs to everyone, and we should share it together, because in these decades, from 1982 to 2023, everyone has worked hard to move towards an ideal, and today everyone has a share. ”
Don't film for prizes
Tony Leung pointed out that he would have dinner with mommy and friends to celebrate, but he would not have a celebration party, and asked if the next goal was Oscar? He pointed out that the idea of filming is different now, just like returning to the original intention of filming: "Now try to enjoy the journey of a group of people together, how to prepare roles for nine months of filming, and the same group of people do their best to do their best, these are the most fun places." Tony Leung also pointed out that the upcoming European films have not thought about how to break through as before, only doing the things ahead, and will not be awarded, because they will do well if they have the heart; He also revealed that he will go to Germany next March to start work on a new play.
As for whether there will be an increase in salary? He immediately looked a little embarrassed and asked if he wanted to ask Carina Liu? Tony Leung said: "In fact, it mainly depends on whether you like (the role) very much, at this stage I think being happy is the most important, filming a set of scenes with the same group of people happy is more important than you give me a sum of money." (Why thank you publicly Mrs.) She has been quietly supporting and encouraging me for so many years, and I don't think I've ever thanked her, so I should take advantage of this lifetime achievement award.
(Let go and let you do what you love?) Yes, because in the end it was me who decided, this movie is me to make, not her, in the end I think I like it well, that is, why I will take on a European drama, the first Asia has shot a lot, Hollywood films have been filmed, Europe has not filmed, just happened to have a director tailor-made for me, I watched his work, he is also a very good director, I have videotaped with him a few times, you think he is a trustworthy person, he is very cultivated but modest, I took "Shang Qi" last time It is also because of the same director's video that I feel that he is very sincere and reliable, and I feel the same this time. "
There are three conditions for agreeing to shoot the MV of the girl group
Referring to the MV of the Korean girl group NewJeans song "Cool With You" earlier, Tony Leung said that the owner of NewJeans Record happened to know a friend he had known for many years, so he found him through his friend: "I have known this friend for many years, in 1997 it was my translator, I went to Korea to do publicity is he helped me do the translation, because I didn't know what he wanted to shoot, so I asked him to send me songs and materials, I said if you can meet my three conditions, shoot, first." , where I am you shoot, second, I can't care about my look, because I create the characters, of course I have my own ideas, and the third is that I only have two juniors, because basically his entire MV was filmed in Spain, and when I was in Tokyo, they flew to Tokyo to shoot with a green set, because I appeared for tens of seconds. (Have you ever become a fan of NewJeans?) It's like they're my fans! ”
After the visit, Tony Leung chatted casually and said that he did not know about the black rain in Hong Kong, and when everyone laughed and said that he was a nobleman to attract wind and rain, he said that he was not, and pointed out that after seeing the video in Hong Kong, he knew that the rain was falling so badly.
