preface
If Tony Leung is just an ordinary person, I am afraid that his dual personality is enough to arouse the research interest of psychologists. After all, it is the first time that an actor can have two seemingly contradictory qualities of "chatterbox" and "social fear" at the same time.
Somehow, when the actor stands in the spotlight, he can always talk eloquently and talk endlessly. In 2023, Tony Leung appeared in a documentary called "Halfway Up the Mountain" about his secluded life in Japan. He rarely appears in public, and he talks freely in documentaries, like a "talker" veteran.
But if we look at Tony Leung's other public activities, we see another side of him. This actor acts ignorant in daily life, like a frightened little sheep. During the interview, he left the venue in a hurry after a few words at the award ceremony, and he was far away from the hustle and bustle on weekdays, and rarely socialized. This look that can't stand the shelf, isn't it a standard "social phobia"?
The roots of Tony Leung's dual personality start from his childhood as an orphan and widow......
The warmth of a family is rare
Tony Leung was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, his father was a construction worker, and his mother was a housewife. But even so, Tony Leung's childhood was not very happy.
His father was addicted to gambling, and the family's savings were often left behind by him after a round of wild losses. The mother could not accept her husband's behavior, and the couple often quarreled because of this. Tony Leung often hides in his room, covering his ears with his hands to prevent himself from hearing the noise of his parents.
In this way, when Tony Leung was 9 years old, he suffered the first setback in his life - the divorce of his parents. Although his father occasionally took him out to play after the divorce, this sparse and ordinary gathering did not give Tony Leung much comfort.
If a person is a rainbow, he knows it when he meets it. Tony Leung's great achievements on the road of acting are actually due to an unexpected encounter at a low point in his life.
In 1981, 18-year-old Tony Leung had to drop out of school to work because of his poor family. Originally, he was discouraged and had no chance to contact the palace of art, but fate opened a window for him. Back then, Tony Leung's friend Stephen Chow participated in TVB's actor training class, and he was also dragged by Stephen Chow to sign up together.
Who would have thought that this young man from a poor background was finally selected, and the initiator Stephen Chow regrettably fell off the list. Tony Leung started his career as an actor since then, and later became popular with the role of "Wei Xiaobao" in the TV series "The Story of Deer and Ding".
With an outlet for emotional catharsis, Tony Leung's acting skills are also rising. His dedication to each role is "against the sky" – he works all night to master a role.
For example, during the filming of "In the Mood for Love", Tony Leung practiced hard for 7 months in order to master the role; Before filming "Infernal Affairs", in order to portray the character's personality accurately, he locked himself in a small room and completely cut off contact with the outside world......
"I often get so deep into the drama that I can't tell what's true and what's fake." Tony Leung said, "Sometimes, I even lose my mind, and my wife used to worry about my mental state. "
However, it is this kind of focus on "Magic Phoenix Picking" that has allowed Tony Leung to deliver satisfactory transcripts in countless film and television works. With "Chongqing Forest", "In the Mood for Love", "Color. He won the highest honors such as the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award, and won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997.
It can be said that through performance, the introverted and shy Tony Leung has found a new stage of life and shown his unique charm to the world. He has gone from being a "family child" of an ordinary family to a superstar in the Chinese film industry.
A strong woman is a companion of fireworks and fireworks
In addition to his successful career, Tony Leung's love life can be regarded as complete. However, it was widely expected by the entertainment media that this low-key and introverted man would eventually marry a gentle and virtuous girl. Unexpectedly, his final choice was unexpected - Carina Lau, a strong woman with an extroverted personality and an independent personality.
The two got off to a winning start in 1992, when they met when they starred in the movie "Red Sorghum". As "monogamous" in traditional culture, Tony Leung and Carina Lau have unique styles: one is humble and polite, and the other is hearty and enthusiastic, and likes to socialize.
Even so, Carina Lau, who is "full of fireworks", is obedient to Tony Leung. After marriage, this virtuous helper not only handles the affairs of the family and serves her husband wholeheartedly, but also does her best to protect Tony Leung's privacy - almost all the news about Tony Leung from the outside world is controlled and released by her.
Tony Leung also tolerates and understands his wife to the greatest extent. Once, Carina Lau was photographed by the paparazzi hugging a male friend intimately when she was out playing, which caused criticism. Tony Leung didn't make a fuss when he learned about it, but said lightly: "Jialing knows how to cherish this marriage the most."
Two stars with perfect acting skills performed another masterpiece in life in a way of mutual trust outside of marriage. Even if the two parties have been separated for a long time and have no intersection, they still live their lives intimately. A silent doting wife, and a passionate husband protection, can be said to be vividly interpreted.
Today, Tony Leung is 61 years old, but his relationship with Carina Lau is as hot as a period of love.
The "life of cultivating immortals" of ordinary people
Despite his prosperous career and happy marriage, Tony Leung did not immerse himself in it. Instead, at the height of his career, he chose another lifestyle of low-key seclusion.
Since 2000, Tony Leung has settled in Japan, and later lived there for more than 20 years. Chao Wei has his own explanation for this lifestyle choice: "Because I like skiing very much, and the atmosphere of life in Japan is very suitable for my introverted personality, so I will not be disturbed."
It can be seen that the film industry tycoon has shifted his focus from work to life itself. Even Japanese has never been deliberately studied, as if it is just to keep a distance from the outside world. "I've lived in Japan for more than 20 years, and the only Japanese I speak is 'hello'." Tony Leung said with a smile.
During his seclusion in Japan, Tony Leung was finally able to live the "ordinary life" he had longed for. In addition to practicing skiing, his greatest pleasure is to sit in the café of the hotel and listen to the sound of trains passing by outside the window.
In his eyes, this may be the highest state of life - living a life of isolation, no desire and no desire, and finding a state that is in harmony with life in a world that does not belong to him. With the wisdom of reading all kinds of life, Tony Leung finally solved the mystery of life alone.
As for the "talker" Tony Leung in the documentary, it is actually just the freedom of life that he regained after getting rid of the box. has been playing others in the play all his life, and in his later years, he can finally show himself, and he will be "talking" when he should be "talking".
This introverted and reticent person since he was a child has never changed his nature. He is still living the life he longs for, but he is more indifferent than before. His personality is twofold, but it is not a double life.
Living in the world, there are different needs at different stages. Eventually, the inner body will find a state of harmony with the outside of the body. Tony Leung's "Way of Cultivating Immortals" is just to let the world see the highest life realm pursued by ordinary people.
