Recently, the hottest point in the film industry should be Tony Leung won the Academy Award for the movie "Goldfinger", in response to this matter, it can be said that there is a boo on the Internet, some people say that even the Academy Awards have begun to talk about seniority, and some people directly said that this is the "pension award" awarded to him.
Indeed, the movie "Goldfinger" is quite unproductive, and we are not ready to talk about it more, after all, I grew up watching Tony Leung movies, and today I will talk about those movies that Tony Leung is worth watching.
It's another year of the Beijing Film Festival, and last year's most popular movie was Hou Xiaoxian's "City of Sadness", which was hard to find at that time, and a movie ticket was more than ten times higher. is also in such a film history classic, many people recognize Tony Leung's acting skills, not to mention anything else, anyway, I was a fan of this movie.
Before that, he was Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Yuer of TVB, as well as Zhang Shudong, the young master of Mipu in Guan Jinpeng's "Underground Love", and the young Ah Xiao in Er Dongsheng's "People's Hero".
In the movie epic "City of Sadness", Lin Wenqing played by Tony Leung reflects a whole era, from the photographer who has no quarrel with the world to the person who has been involved in it after experiencing a huge turning point in his family and society, he vividly shows youth, honesty, confusion and suffering.
In the film, he is a deaf and mute person, unable to express himself through lines, only through his eyes and movements, he once said: "Working with Hou Hsiao-hsien in "City of Sadness", I played a mute, but I still need to learn a lot of history books. After work, I stayed in my hotel room almost all the time, reading a lot of literature, Chinese, Japanese, English, ......"
After that, Tony Leung and Hou Hsiao-hsien collaborated on "Flowers of the Sea", from Lin Wenqing, who couldn't speak, to Wang Liansheng, who spoke Shanghainese, but he also complained: "Dead and dead (Cantonese), I can't memorize it no matter how I practice." Later, Hou Hsiao-hsien had to change Tony Leung's role to that of a comprador to Hong Kong, who knew a little Shanghainese, but most of the time he also spoke Cantonese.
It doesn't matter if Shanghainese is not good or bad, Tony Leung used few lines in the film to accurately interpret the word "world feelings" in the Chinese dinner in the Fengyue Field in Shanghai.
Speaking of Tony Leung's movies, I have to mention Wong Kar-wai, four of his first five films that won the Golden Statue Best Actor were made by Wong Kar-wai. "Chongqing Forest", "Springtime", "In the Mood for Love" and "2046", these movies have established Tony Leung's status in the film industry to a certain extent.
Tony Leung once said, "Working with Wong Kar-wai is the second birth as an actor." In fact, when he cooperated with Wong Kar-wai for the first time to shoot "The True Story of A Fei", Tony Leung was quite frustrated. At that time, some scenes Maggie Cheung only had to shoot two or three times, but Tony Leung had to shoot more than ten or twenty times, and Wong Kar-wai told him that he had used too many acting skills, and he had to throw away all kinds of ideas and start from his heart to express his role. After the film came out, Tony Leung found that Wong Kar-wai really knew how to train actors, and the effect of the film was also very good. Since then, he has decided to work with Wong Kar-wai, and this cooperation has been for 20 years.
Tony Leung said: "Wong Kar-wai and his team members are very good, and it is because of such a good team that I can continue to improve my performance. It also makes it possible for me to realize my dream since filming "City of Sadness", which is to act naturally like a non-professional actor. I think it will take a long time to learn and revise to get to what I think is the best state. ”
We can see that in every work they collaborate on, Tony Leung's role is full of vitality, such as Police 663 in "Chongqing Forest", Zhou Duyun in "In the Mood for Love" and "2046", and Ip Man in "The Grandmaster", he can always interpret the character's mental journey through life-like performances, through subtle eye changes and expression turns, and show his unique charm to the audience.
At this point, let's talk about another important director in Tony Leung's life, Ang Lee.
Tony Leung previously won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the person who presented him with the award was Ang Lee, and the film they collaborated on more than ten years ago also won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, Italy.
On stage, the white-haired Ang Lee and the joyful Tony Leung were all moving, and in the award speech, Ang Lee also said as he did back then, "Tony Leung is a director's dream." ”
He said that Tony Leung's glance was better than many actors' monologues. "That's what can lure you to the best and the worst, even your hidden ego, your fears...... Express the soul of your dreams through him. ”
