In today's domestic entertainment, actors are also divided into many types.
Some people chase fame and profit, and regard traffic as extremely important;
Still others just treat "actor" as a job, usually low-key like an ordinary person.
Only Tony Leung, the opposite is to the extreme.
Normally, as an actor, you must often appear on the screen.
Even the most timid person, after a long period of training, can also show calm and calm in front of the public.
However, Tony Leung, who has filmed dramas for more than 40 years, is still silent and not good at sociability.
In the circle, a "social fear actor" like him can hardly find a second one.
01
Can you imagine that?
The "actor" who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, repeatedly appearing on the stage will be nervous, and need to take a deep breath to relieve this embarrassment.
On the other side of the press conference, his careful thinking has long been clearly guessed by the audience:
"Save me, save me, save me, where should I look? What am I going to do? Don't interview me, don't point to me, when will it end..."
Subsequently, the outside world picked up his various social horror scenes, which made people cry and laugh.
Even if his wife's aura is so powerful, it still can't affect his social fear, and he follows his wife like a child.
In front of countless cameras, his wife is so generous and elegant.
And this just happens to be in stark contrast to him himself, and he can't wait to get away from this stage.
When he sat downstage, the microphone handed over was like a fireball in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to find a seam to drill into.
Even if he was asked to choose an audience member to ask questions, he was still very nervous and did not even dare to open his eyes.
During the interview, Teacher He asked him:
"Can you introduce yourself in more than 20 words"?
Unexpectedly, he refused.
Even if you successfully win the award, the award speech is very simple:
"Thank you Wong Kar-wai, thank you!"
In addition to public places, he is also "social fear" in his daily life.
Some fans abroad broke the scene of him eating alone in a restaurant, and in the picture, he chose the most inconspicuous corner when eating.
You know, he used to be one of the "TVB Five Tigers".
Nevertheless, he has little intersection with other "four tigers" on weekdays.
Among them, Huang Rihua once complained:
"After work, a few of us often hang out together. But Tony Leung was very disappointed and almost did not participate. ”
As the "older brother" of Sheniu, he can talk to almost anyone, but he can't help:
"In fact, Tony Leung has a very strange personality, he is a difficult person to contact, and he is not very communicative."
Funny is funny, but few people know the story behind his "social terror".
A deep look at his resume reveals that his withdrawn personality is actually inextricably linked to his earlier experience.
02
When he was a child, he was like a trapped beast, trapped in his native family, dying, but there was nowhere to moan.
His father was addicted to gambling and often quarreled with his mother.
Whenever his family quarreled, he would always hide in the house and cry quietly, and I don't know how many times he questioned himself:
"Mom and Dad quarreled because of me? Is it because I'm not good enough? ”
When he was 7 years old, his parents divorced.
Since then, he has returned home every day with no delicious meals waiting for him or the booing of his loved ones.
All that greets me is endless loneliness and torture...
Not long after, my father passed away.
The original lively, cheerful little boy no longer exists, and slowly becomes taciturn, often locking himself in the house.
At the age of 15, he gave up the opportunity to study and began to enter society.
During that time, he did a lot of chores, selling newspapers, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, etc., and he had already tasted the warmth and coldness at a young age, and his heart was gradually hidden.
If nothing else, he will be in this place for the rest of his life.
Until the appearance of "Stephen Chow" helped him successfully open the door to another world.
03
In order to make more money, Xing Ye asked him to take the artist training class together.
But unexpectedly, he was successfully admitted later, but Xing Ye fell off the list.
It can be said that he was very lucky, only 20 years old to enter TVB, and two years later also got the opportunity to appear in "Luding Ji", with this work, he successfully won the love of many audiences, and he is also famous.
Since then, his acting career has been unimpeded, and he has also starred in many classic Hong Kong dramas, including many Jin Yong martial arts dramas, with these masterpieces, he has become a male god in everyone's heart.
And the masterpieces such as "Infernal Affairs" and "East Becomes West" in which he participated have become "classic" works in the hearts of countless people, and they are still impressive even now.
"He has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor three times, the Academy Award for Best Actor five times, and is one of only two Cannes actors in China so far."
He has achieved quite high in his acting career, and various awards have long been soft, and he is indeed worthy of the word "actor".
That said, his love life has always been controversial.
04
The outside world only knows that he and Liu Jialing have been married for decades, but it is not clear what "bitterness" there is among them.
In a recent documentary, he shows us the secluded life he has lived alone in Japan in recent years.
At first, we just focused on seclusion, but we thought he was afraid of society, which seemed logical.
However, we overlooked one detail.
You know, he lives alone in the island country, but his wife is still in China.
As soon as this matter came out, it instantly made people wonder if there was a problem with the relationship between the two.
He is a restrained person and does not get bored living alone.
His wife, on the contrary, is a person who likes to be lively.
When he was photographed walking in the island country, his wife attended an event with many celebrities.
The two have diametrically opposed personalities, so when they first came together, almost no one felt that they could go on forever.
What's more, in 2000, he and Maggie Cheung collaborated on "In the Mood for Love", and the two talented women in the film are simply a match made in heaven.
Almost everyone feels:
"Compared to Carina Lau, Maggie Cheung is a woman who is more suitable to be Tony Leung's girlfriend."
Even though the outside world has long been "bloody", he and Maggie Cheung have always been friends and have not revealed that they have a relationship with each other.
However, in the interaction between the two sides, everyone can still feel that there is still an indescribable relationship between them.
At the 2001 Cannes red carpet, he attended with Liu and Zhang, which shocked the entire entertainment industry.
He interlocks his fingers with other women, but holding hands with his future wife is very ordinary, and this scene is difficult not to make people think about it.
It's just that he didn't explain much afterwards, but when evaluating Maggie Cheung, he said:
"Maggie Cheung is the only woman who can drive me crazy."
Since then, the lace news between the two has spread more and more outrageously, until 2008, after he and Liu Jialing got married, this kind of news did not stop.
Even Carina Lau publicly said in an interview:
"Maggie Cheung is a good actor, if Tony Leung really likes Maggie Cheung, then I am very happy, everything listens to him."
In this regard, everyone doubted the real reason why the two were together, is it possible that they just "made do"?
However, when he knew about Liu Jialing's abduction, he completely understood the friendship between the two.
05
In 1990, Carina Lau was forcibly abducted by several big men on her way out.
After understanding that the other party tied her up only for money, three hours passed before she was freed.
When Tony Leung learned that she was kidnapped, he immediately pushed off all his work to find her.
Fortunately, in the end, the person came back alive, but I thought that this matter was completely over, but I didn't think that more than ten years later, this matter was moved to the table.
In 2002, a Hong Kong magazine exposed indecent photos of her being kidnapped.
In an instant, she became a "joke", not only did she lose her reputation, she also thought about ending it all by dying.
Fortunately, Tony Leung arrived in time and always accompanied and comforted her:
"This circle is too complicated, let's leave, I will accompany you wherever you want."
It is also Tony Leung's careful care and companionship that allows her to come out of this unbearable past.
At the same time, she also knew the sincerity of the other party, and the relationship between the two became indestructible.
epilogue
Now Tony Leung is still living in the island country, living the "dull" life he wants, no one knows him, and he is carefree.
Perhaps for him, this kind of solitary life is what he really wants.
In addition, he also has a virtuous wife at home, although the two are separated, but the wife does not fly to his address to visit him, such a life is not easy to understand, but after all, happy!
