THE STRAITS TIMES - IT IS not often that Hong Kong acclaimed actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai is floored by a director's request. But Wong Kar Wai wanted him to turn the gentle, soft-spoken character he had played in In The Mood For Love into a bad guy in 2046. A sequel of sorts to the much-raved In The Mood, 2046 premiered at Cannes Film Festival in May to great acclaim, though it did not win any awards. Four years in the making, and narrowly missing its slot at Cannes because of Wong's last-minute editing, 2046 follows the erotic adventures of Leung's character with a string of beautiful women.

This is not fair, Tony Leung deserves much more replies and much more insight into his profiles and everything else.
He is the top actor in HK and not even Andy Lau can match up to him.
Go Tony, you're the best ever!

ORIENTAL DAILY NEWS - Maggie Tsang interviewed Carina Lau on radio and they openly talked about Tony Leung. Carina revealed that Tony wants a baby! Carina thinks it's time too, but worries about what will happen next in the world. Because they didn't want to be bothered by the press, the interview was secretly recorded in advance. When Maggie introduced Carina, she mentioned that her interview subject is now the girlfriend of her ex, as well as a supposed enemy of love. Maggie emphasized that Carina has never gotten mad at Tony. Since the days of talent school, they've been good friends. Maggie joked that Tony's hard to get along with so she dumped him, leaving him for Carina. Even though Tony and Maggie have broken up for years, he still has a special place in her heart. When he wants a friend to talk to, he looks to Maggie, but Carina doesn't really mind. Being the girlfriend of a superstar is quite difficult, Carina attests, because fans wants idols to be perfect. Weaknesses are all placed on the woman beside the idol, such as David Beckham. Carina also mentioned about appearing nude on the cover of Eastweek magazine, saying her attitude in life has totally changed for the better. She used to be a calculating friend. People who tried to get close to the star had to be measured up for their value first. But after the scandal, friends from around the world showed their care for her, making her feel warm inside. After that, she understood how to use her real heart with her friends.

SING TAO - Carina Lau and Tony Leung have been together for 13 years. Three nights ago, Carina and Tony's ex-girlfriend Maggie Tsang Wah-Sin were giving a playful radio interview. The ex blurted out to Carina: "Only you can survive this long!", commenting on Carina and Tony's long relationship. The star counterattacked playfully, "You're too rebellious!" Their outlook on love is totally different. Maggie is now divorced and raising her child as a single mom. She admits Carina is very understanding of men. The year when Tony grabbed Golden Horse's Best Actor award, it was Carina who phoned Maggie to come out and party. "I think Tony also hoped all his friends were happy for him. As his girlfriend I also hoped he's happy." Maggie fired, "That night Tony was personally waiting for me downstairs, did you know that?" Carina replies, "Of course I knew. I am his girlfriend, he tells me everything!" On screen, apparently Tony doesn't like Carina very much. "I filmed a TV series with him and he was like the big brother of TV. He's very serious and very into his work, and he felt I wasn't good enough. I didn't memorize my lines well and during rehearsals for line reads, I know a lot of people blamed me, include Maggie. When we filmed [another TVB series], Dodo Cheng looked down on me too." What did Carina have to say about recent rumors that she's linked to Chinese actor Wu Guan? "He is my good friend, just like ex boyfriend Hui Chun Hang. Back then when we were dating it was very innocent and it was rare. This friendship hasn't changed until now, even when he married, divorced and now has a girlfriend. He would talk to me about it." Carina believes her biggest weakness is singing. "Even though I released an album, my singing cannot be better than Faye Wong, so it's better to give up."

He's one of the most talented actors around in HK now. His brooding good looks NEVER go out of style... and watz more.. i really think he has a mind of his own - not bothering about what the media says about him, and choosing what films he want to act in and what he does not want to act it. Frankly i think he has a more powerful personality than Andy Lau (sorry to the andy lau fans out there). I remembered an occasion when andy asked his fans if its ok for him to have a girlfriend! At least we don't see Tony doing this!!!

News of him not much lately though. I wonder how is his relationship with Carina Lau comin?! ARE they ever getting married? Did he ever mention why he's not into marriage with her??? I find it pretty puzzling...

he's such a talented guy......
despite his age, he just look better and better...
can't wait to see him in 2046.

I love tony...he's my favorite actor! He's soo talented and all the roles he portrays are soo believable. Even tho he's a bit older...he's still looking good for his age. smile.gif

Tony is really my favorite male actor of the whole asian entertainment field. The huge variety in his roles and how he skillfully, naturally, adapts to each one is just amazing. I am just in awe of his acting skills and have really the highest respect for his talent. I always look forward to his next movie. clapping.gif

Tony Leung to Tell You the Secret of Hair, Tuesday September 28, 2004 Hong Kong

Is Hong Kong screen heartthrob Tony Leung enthralling enough to entice you to buy a shampoo promoted by him?

World shampoo bigwig Head&Shoulders has invited this film king to be its spokesman.

The forty-something Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, Liang Chaowei in mandarin has been director Wong Kar-wai's leading actor for several years. He has just finished starring in the high profile film 2046, which hit the screens in Beijing last Friday.

2046 originally planned its Taiwan press conference for Wednesday, but because Tony Leung Chiu Wai's illness it was postponed until yesterday. Perhaps because the actors have talked too much about 2046, the media focus was on Wai Jai and Carina Lau Ka Ling. Aside from their impression about working together, they were asked about all the gossips about their relationship.

Wai Jai said, "I am very resistant to scenes with Ka Ling. The feeling is strange, fake, I can feel that she is acting. Luckily the director understood me and only arranged for one scene with us together. As for the key of our relationship, I don't know. We both have made compromises." Ka Ling agreed that mutual admiration and the tolerance are the most important.

2046 two nights ago held its Taipei premiere. Wai Jai, Ka Ling, Chang Chen, and Wong Kar Wai attended.

i finally got the chance 2 buy the VCD of Ashes of Times.
still luving the movie as ever & it brings back lots of grt memory of it. however, i wasn't that satisfy w/ the VCD. it cut out some of the scenes which i remember watchin back then. like the scene between Tony & Carina interacting w/ each other was cut out, & the scene w/ Charlie Young at the near end of the movie was not there.
i was disappointed w/ the cut-out parts, but i didn't regret buyin it. i remember this was the movie where i became a fan of Charlie Young. she was very beautiful & graceful in the movie. also Ashes of Time was where i thought Tony should do more ancient films. he was grt as the Blind Swordsman [n it doesn't hurt that he lookz hot in ancient costume biggrin.gif].
in Ashes of Time, when i rewatch the ending of Tony's character [the Blind Swordsman], it just sadden me all over again. the Blind Swordsman took on an impossible task in order 2 earn $$ 2 go back home 2 c his wife, Peach Blossom (Carina Lau), b4 he goes completely blind. at the end, he got sliced in the neck by 1 of the mountain thief...hearin his own blood comin out of his neck n died sad-smiley-065.gif. all he wanted was 2 c his wife b4 he goes completely blind, n it just didn't happen. how sad is that?...well i still thought Tony has a very cool character 2 play [even though he's only in 1/3 of the movie]...it's amazing how the Blind Swordsman can still kicked @ss even when he's nearly goin blind.

some Tony news.. smile.gif

(12/30/2004) Tony Leung Chiu Wai while working on SEOUL RAIDERS (HONG SING GUNG LEUK) in Seoul was surrouned by fiery beauties daily, but only he knew about the pain.

Wai Jai said, "Because these models are either Korean or Japanese, communication was the biggest problem. On many occasions we relied on translators' help or conversed in simple English. If you ask me the difference between working with the Japanese and the Koreans, I can tell everyone that there is no difference because when they are talking I have no idea what they are saying."

Wai Jai in SEOUL appeared to be super cool in every scene, but he said that he did not deliberately arranged for them. "In the film I was captured and imprisoned. At the time my hair and clothing were a mess. Director (Jingle) Ma Chor Sing still wanted my female assistants to say to me, 'Boss you are very cool'. Thus the image in the scene was not deliberate, just the director deliberately made it that way."

Wai Jai in the film fought night and day. Although it was tough he felt that running was tougher. He said, "Once the director had me chasing someone for several blocks. Running several blocks of course was not a problem, but this scene was shot and reshot and I ran for half a day. I was out of breath. I have to thank the director because after this scene, I can hold my breath for a long time."

Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) in SEOUL RAIDERS (HAN SING GUNG LEUK) have many fight scenes. Director Jingle Ma Chor Sing added to the difficulty when he decided to add a fight scene in a hot spring. Wai Jai and Siu Chai were completely out of breath from fighting and complained to the director.

Ma Chor Sing has always been a nice guy and thus getting complaints from his actors was like making the innocent suffer. Wai Jai said, "I have to complain that the director is too nice. That day when we had to fight in the hot spring because the temperature was too cold Siu Chai and I both wore diving suits underneath; but the director was too nice. He was worried that after we got into the water we might be too frigid to move, so he asked the crew to raise the temperature in the water. Finally Siu Chai and I were nearly cooked."

Siu Chai followed, "Because the hot spring water temperature was above 45 degrees (Celsius), at first we didn't feel the heat in the water but after awhile and all the moving from the fight scenes, we felt like we couldn't breathe after each scene. Although we have removed our diving suits, we still felt very hot. My limbs were numb. Due to the cold temperature if I left the water I would have been frozen instantly. During the day of the shoot, Wai Jai and I were like taking 'three warmth' baths. We kept going in and getting out of the water. After two hours we were already exhausted."

Wai Jai said, "I will never forget that day's pain because it was truly hard to take. I can't describe it at all. If I have to describe it I can only say 'horrible'. Luckily I saw the scene and it was very exciting. The several minute fight sequence truly had no room for me to brink. The result was great and I let the director go. I am very confident in this film's box office, so Ma Chor Sing has to take us on vacation to celebration."

i wasn't surprise that he won Best Actor. i'll admit, 2046 was borin (IMO), but Tony was really good as Chow Mo-Wan. i am surprised though that Zhang ZiYi won Best Actress as Bai Ling in 2046 huh.gif.

In the Media Asia HK$40 million Lunar New Year film SEOUL RAIDERS (HONG SING GUNG LEUK), Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) play the good guy and the bad guy. Wai Jai in order to avenge himself takes the chance to play a trick on Siu Chai.

Director Jingle Ma Chor Sing in order to create a comedy effect arranges for Siu Chai to be tied up in on scene while Wai Jai feeds him wasabi. Siu Chai has been very resistent to the green wasabi. He says, "I like to have spicy food, but wasabi's attack on the nose is hard to take. I know that the director is truly worried when he asks Wai Jai to feed me wasabi. When I smell wasabi I already want to die!" Wai Jai laughs, "Luckily I am not the one who has to eat the wasabi. I dislike that flavor the most so I can completely sympathize with Siu Chai. Unfortunately I can't be gentle during the shoot because if I do we have to reshoot. Then Siu Chai has it even worse! Finally I of course take the whole piece of wasabi and stuff it into Siu Chai's mouth."

The wasabi makes Siu Chai's nose runny and eyes watered. He says, "I truly can't take it. At the time my mind goes completely blank. I only want to finish that scene as soon as possible and have some water soon." The most painful part though is after Wai Jai stuffs the wasabi into Siu Chai, the director wants Wai Jai to rub the wasabi on Siu Chai's face. Siu Chai can only stay tough. After the shoot, he realizes that his skin has started to react and peel.

"At the time I was scared to death. Aside from the red pimples my skin was also peeling. After the scene I had to fly to America to perform, so I didn't have time to see a doctor. Finally I could only perform as is. Luckily I didn't put anything on it. Although wasabi was strong my skin was even stronger. I only washed my face with water. About a week later it recovered. If it couldn't I would have taught Ma Chor Sing quite a lesson!"

Tony Leung Chiu Wai yesterday morning promoted his new film SEOUL RAIDERS with an interview. He looked rather awake. Wai Jai said that when he was not working he had a habit of early to bed and early to rise. He woke up at 6AM. Mainly he felt that when he was working his schedule was already flipped around. On his rare time off he should properly adjust to time.

Although Wai Jai said that he was off, he still had a lot to do and 24 hours were not enough for his day. He said, "I have to play sports, study Wing Chun, I even have to take time to eat at Ma's place. On the other hand while I was working I didn't feel so busy." He planed to spend half a year to learn Wing Chun for YIP MUN JUEN (YIP MUN LEGEND). He seriously said, "I have to learn to be completely be in character, to be like that person. Otherwise how would I convince myself I am Yip Mun?" Also, Wai Jai has received a Golden Bauhinia Best Actor Award nomination for 2046 and in competition with Andy Lau Tak Wa, Stephen Chiau Sing Chi, and Jackie Chan. He honestly said that the only film in the category he has not seen was Wa Jai's A WORLD WITHOUT THIEVES (TIN HA MO CHAK) but he believed that the nomination proved that the performance was good. He said, "I won't suspect my own abilities. I have always been very satisfied with my performance in 2046. Of course that will depend on the jury."

SEOUL RAIDERS is a sequel to TOKYO RAIDERS. Wai Jai's character remains the same. He said that the film was the James Bond series so his performance was easier to grasp. However he felt the films were different from James Bond. "Their production is bigger and costs more. They blow up Porsches, we blow up Toyotas." Most of the film was shot in the capital city of SEOUL. He pointed out that Korea was rather chilly, scenes in the water were rather difficult. The worst was Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) did not wear a scuba diving suit, soaking in a 40 some degrees (Celsius) hot spring all day was quite a killer. When Siu Chai got back on land he was like a steamed shrimp. Although he had a diving suit he was not any better. They soaked for awhile, left the water right away to rest, then returned to the water. Has he fallen for Korea? Wai Jai honestly said that he could not read Korean and had no hint to begin guessing.

Japanese has some Hanji so guessing was not difficult. He said that wherever he went he relied on a translator, so he might as well stay in the hotel. He said that the food was not suitable for Southerners taste, but he had nothing but praise for the Korean people. He felt that the women were beautiful and the men tall and built. "Koreans are able to get into the World Cup, perhaps it has something to do with the food." When he learned that the director was interested in a third film and planned to shoot in Africa, he looked reluctant. "It will require many shots, no way. I believe Africa is very pretty, but shooting there would be too great."

As for his injury from the film, Wai Jai said that he was slowly recovering. Will he work on the Wong Kar Wai directed, Nicole Kidman starred THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI? Wai Jai said, "I don't think I will have time. In May or June I have to promote 2046 in America. In July I have to work on (Andrew) Lau Wai Keung's new film." He also praised his co-star Shu Qi as an actress with a lot of potential.

He's a pretty good actor, but not as good as Andy Lau in my opinion. Wow is he really releasing albums? I didn't know he was an active singer.

yeah i heard of the song and saw the MV 2. the song sounds good, though i prefer hearin it in Canto c0z i don't understand Mando, thus i don't understand wat's he singing. but watever, the songs sounds grt and thatz wat important.
im actually surprised Tony sings sooo good in all his Mando songs, c0z i thought he wasn't a fluent Mando speaker (thatz y his voice was dubbed in Hero). i guess singing and talking is 2 different thing happy.gif

Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) and two Korean actresses Cho Han-Na and Cho Su-Hyun yesterday attended a SEOUL RAIDERS (HONG SING GUNG LEUK) press conference in Beijing. In the film, Shu Qi is stuck between Wai Jai and Siu Chai. Shu Qi said that in the film Siu Chai likes her, she likes Wai Jai but Wai Jai does not like her. As for real life, Shu Qi felt that Siu Chai is very manly and is an ideal choice for a husband. Wai Jai is romantic and is also an ideal boyfriend. Shu Qi said, "If both are after me it will be great."

Yam Yin Chai has joked about how vicious Shu Qi was during fight scenes. Shu Qi said, "On my first day of work, Director (Jingle) Ma Chor Sing told me to hit Yam Yin Chai. At the time Siu Chai didn't avoid it and my fist landed on his face. Although he said he was fine, I saw tears swelling up in his eyes and I felt he must be in a lot of pain. I was very sorry. Aside from Leung Chiu Wai and Yam Yin Chai, the Korean models also had a hard time because they had wear high heels and flimsy clothing. I sympathized with them."
