梁朝偉練拳當一代宗師

最新一期「亞洲週刊」以港星梁朝偉為封面，探討香港電影浴火重生，競逐國際。梁朝偉指出，他在「韓城攻略」中與韓國電影人合作，是全新體驗。他呼籲香港影視工作者走出香港人的市場，與亞洲其他國家同業合作，找到更大的市場，也刺激更多創意。
梁朝偉表示，新的一年，他將拍王家衛導演的「一代宗師」功夫片。「其實拍了十多年，想拍些新的東西。所以今年我也會抽時間去練詠春拳，演一代宗師起碼也要會詠春拳，我從來沒有用半年時間去飾演一個角色。」行程滿滿的他，「將於8月和劉偉強、麥兆輝等『無間道』原班人馬，可能拍一部私家偵探與連環殺手的故事。」

梁朝偉表示：「我跟劉偉強和麥兆輝他們講過一個私家偵探的故事，我們現在還在構思劇本。大概每個星期會坐下來一次研究劇本，因為我們的資金有限，花的時間會長些，到時花的錢可以不多。」梁朝偉強調，他很享受拍戲的過程，從來沒有想過要在獎項、金錢或者名氣上要得到什麼，「我演戲主要是因為我很喜歡這個工作，如果你很享受，與不同的人都做得很開心，這也就是輝煌了。」

至於華語片的出路在哪裡？梁朝偉說：「香港片也有很多高品質的電影，如王家衛、杜琪峰、關錦鵬等導演的電影，不僅在亞洲，在西方都很有名。影視業有個融合的趨勢，香港很多導演在國際舞台上的成功，對香港影視的發展有非常大的幫助，你看李安導演的「臥虎藏龍」，吳宇森、王家衛等導演的成功，都為香港的影視開拓了新的市場，希望這樣的風氣慢慢可以帶起來。」

亞洲週刊總編輯邱立本表示：「亞洲一億五千萬中產階級，成為電影的主要消費群體。他們不再受得了那些廉價、惡俗的暴力與色情。」報導指出，香港將八大影視創意工業匯聚成「香港影視娛樂博覽」，競逐國際。邵氏、有線電視及嘉禾等影視企業，均投入數以億計的巨款拍片，宏揚香港的亞洲影視?

The latest issue of Asia Magazine has Tony Leung on the cover, exploring the revival of Hong Kong movies, and the venture to international arena.

Tony said that it was a whole new experience working with the Koreans in Seoul Raiders. He encourage Hong Kong movie makers to venture out of the Hong Kong market, make partnership with fellow counterparts in asia and other countries, find a bigger market, and more creativity.

Tony Leung said he'll be filming WKW "Yat Doi Zhong Si" in the new year. "After filming for ten over years, I would like to film something new. I will take some time off this year to learn Wing Chun Kuen. To film "Yat Doi Zhing Si", you must at least know Wing Chun. I have not used half a years' time to prepare for a role." With a full schedule, Tony will be filming a private eye and serial murder movie with Andrew Wong in August.

" I'll have talked to Andrew Wong and Mak Siew Fai about detective stories, we are still working onthe script. We meet once a week to talk about the script. As we have limited funds, we'll be taking a longer time so that we won't have to spend so much money."

Tony enjoys the process of making movie. The monetary rewards, recognition or receiving awards is mot on his mind. "I act because I enjoy the job. If you enjoy it, you'll be happy no matter who you work with, and that's glorious."

As for the future of Chinese movies? Tony said " There are many high quality Hong Kong movies. For eg. movies by directors like Wong Kar Wai, Johnny To, 關錦鵬 etc.. They are famous not only in Asia, even western countries as well. There is a trend in movie industry towards amalgamation. The success of many Hong Kong directors in the international arena has opened up new market for Hong Kong movies. In this way, the trend will proliferate."

Asia Magazine editor said that the main consumer for Hong Kong movies are the middle income group, who will not put up with cheap, crass, violence and pornography. Hong Kong has formed Hong Kong Entertainment Expo made up of 8 big film companies to go into internatinal scene.
