Press Conference















Evening







Video: http://style.sina.com.cn/style/fashion/time/v/2008/1108/0300366.shtml

Tony attended the promotion function of Montblanc in Beijing. He revealed that he was busy preparing for his role as Ip Man, and exercised from 10 to 6 everyday. He has to get himself in shape, and brainwashed himself that he is a kungfu master.

He said he would concentrate in this movie for the coming months, and rejected other movie proposal. When asked if he is interested to be director himself, he said he thought of being a producer, but not director, in future. He hoped he could bring new talents and new scripts to the audience.

Talking about watches, he said he used to collect watches, and he likes to send watches as gifts. When asked what is the commonality between himself and Montblanc, he said he is only a small potato. He thought both Montblanc and himself like to have breakthrough. He said he didn't have any masterpiece, cos he was never satisfied with his performance. He could find room for improvement all the time.

Tony pulls no punches

Tony Leung is all fight these days as he gets ready for his role as Bruce Lee’s teacher.

HONG Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai may have just gotten married, but instead of basking in newly-wedded bliss, his recent preoccupation has been with fighting.

At a press conference with some 300 Chinese and Asia-Pacific media members to launch Montblanc’s latest luxury chronograph watch on Nov 7, the multi-award-winning actor said he has been pulling eight-hour days working out for his role as Bruce Lee’s martial arts teacher.

Grandmaster Yip Man popularised the Wing Chun style of gongfu, and his biopic by director Wong Kar Wai will begin filming next autumn.

Leung, 46, added in Mandarin: “Making an action film requires you to have a certain physique, so I have to at least convince myself that I am a very good fighter.”

Asked why pre-production for the film has dragged on for about six years, the actor, who is Wong’s favourite leading man and firm friend, said: “Each time we wanted to start doing it, I was committed to another role. But now, I’ve stopped taking on new films, turning down some 10 projects. I want to concentrate on this.”Looking dapper in a black leather jacket-and-tie ensemble, he answered previously screened questions posed by an emcee onstage with his usual quiet serenity.

But Hong Kong’s tabloid writers perked up when the actor stated innocuously that he was planning to go on a ski holiday with friends later this year.

Scribes later interpreted this as a sign that his actress wife Carina Lau was not pregnant as previously rumoured.

The self-confessed perfectionist modestly said he does not feel he has made any masterpieces in his career.

However, he does not mind being a producer of or endorsing works by young, emerging talent.

But there is a caveat.

“Being an actor takes a lifetime. You can’t do everything at once,” he said.
