Tony's Broken Arm

偉仔對打出事左手臂斷骨
苦練詠春演葉問

【明報專訊】王家衛執導，梁朝偉主演的《一代宗師》可謂一波三折。偉仔7年前向詠春宗師葉問師父的兒子葉準拜師學詠春，一心拍該片；但王家衛遲遲不開拍，直至去年黃百鳴找甄子丹搶閘開拍《葉問》，不但叫好叫座，還在多個電影頒獎禮取得佳績，可謂名利雙收。但王家衛懶理，表示8、9月會投入拍攝《一代宗師》。偉仔為了演出該片，近日接受密集式訓練，昨日練對打時，不慎被踢中左手手臂，手臂骨當場折斷。

學武做Gym練肌肉

偉仔在王家衛執導的《一代宗師》飾演葉問一角，自去年10月開始，已進行一連串訓練，除了跟師父練詠春及練拳腳功夫外，更勤加做Gym，練得一身肌肉。由於《一代宗師》於8、9月間便會展開拍攝，偉仔近日開始加緊練習，早、午都和不同的詠春師父對打，昨日終於出事。

與5名詠春師父對打

練得一身好武功的偉仔昨午如常跟5名詠春師父對打，偉仔出盡全力衝向其中一名師父，由於偉仔氣勢凌厲，連師父也被嚇塞繼而全力應付，自然反應起腳踢中偉仔左手手臂，偉仔腳一軟，右手按左手手臂露出痛苦表情。由於手臂無力，於是急往醫院求診，照了X光後，發現左手手臂其中一條骨斷了。醫生建議偉仔打石膏，但他堅持不打，因為打了石膏手臂肌肉不能郁動，自己辛苦練來的肌肉便會消失，下的苦也白費。

未通知太座嘉玲

由於斷骨的癒合期需要5至6星期，醫生叮囑他左手無論如何不能郁動，勿說練功、連跑步也不能。不過偉仔相當焦急，怕不練習，功夫會退步，唯有練下盤的腿功。偉仔稱，拍得武打片就預了會受傷，拍攝時可能會更辛苦，現在受傷，先作好心理準備也是好事。可有向正在橫店拍戲的劉嘉玲報告此事？他說﹕「發生得太突然，第一時間去醫院，未通知她。」

Tony Leung Breaks Arm in Training Session
Practicing Wing Chun Rigorously to Play the Role of Ip Man
Article from Mingpao

Directed by Wong Kar Wai and starring Tony Leung, 'The Grand Master' has met with countless obstacles from the start. Seven years ago, Tony started learning Wing Chun from Master Ip Man's son, Ip Chun, to prepare for the movie. However, Wong Kar Wai kept delaying the film. Last year Raymond Wong took over with his version of Ip Man, starring Donnie Yen. Not only did Producer Wong's version do well at the box office, it also garnered many awards. Undeterred by it, Wong Kar Wai stated that he will shoot his version in August/September. To prepare for the role, Tony has been training relentlessly. Yesterday during a practice fighting session, he was kicked in the left arm, which broke on impact.

Bulking Up with Martial Arts and Training at the Gym

To prepare for the movie, Tony has begun training since October of last year. Besides practicing Wing Chun, he has also been working out at the gym to build up his body. As filming was scheduled to start in August/September, he has steadily increased his training sessions. Starting early morning he will train with different Wing Chun masters to practice his fighting. With such an intense schedule, something finally went wrong yesterday.

Practiced Fighting with Five Wing Chun Masters

Yesterday Tony began training as usual with five Wing Chun masters. Tony appeared very strong in his attack, going towards one master at full force. The master was surprised by him and naturally reacted in self defense, using his own force to counter attack and kicked Tony's left arm. Tony's legs then buckled and he painfully held onto his left arm with his right arm. Since his arm had no strength, he went to the hospital for a check up. After x-rays were taken, it showed that one of the bones in his left arm was broken. The doctor suggested that Tony's arm be put in a cast, but Tony refused saying that muscle atrophy will set in and all the work he spent building the muscles in his arm will be wasted.

Hasn't Notified Wife Carina

As broken bones take about 5 to 6 weeks to heal, the doctor has told him not to move his arm at all costs. Not only can he not practice Wing Chun, he's not even allowed to go jogging. But Tony is very anxious to get back to training as he's afraid that if he doesn't practice, his martial arts skills will decline. The only thing he can practice now is his leg work. Tony said that he was prepared for injuries when he signed on for a martial arts film. He knows that the actual filming process will be even tougher. Getting injured now at least gives him preparation for what's to come. Has he notified Carina, who's currently filming in Hengdian? He replies, "It was too sudden. I went to the hospital right away and didn't have a chance to notify her."

Dear Tony

Pain - even for a short time - is something very hard to stand - Hope you have responsible and competent doctors and you are careful with "pain-killers".

I know it is easy said, but try to ACCEPT* the pain - as healing process that makes you stronger ! Accepted* pain does not hurt so much.

Kisses on your left arm and hand !

*I meant:
Try to observe and watch the process of pain very rational and consciously ( is it changing ? how does it feel ? where is it now ?.................) Your thoughts will divert form pain - Try for a while - I hope for you !
And I know : A mental refusal of pain does intensify the feeling of pain !

[D-love]

Hello Tony Grrl

You wrote to Tony:
[quote]Some pain is inevitable but I hope the pain subsides really quickly. I'm sure you are being well looked after[/quote]

You are right - he will have best care!

Let´s hope he sleeps well tonight and it will be easier day by day !

[Tony Grrl]

Yeah, sleep is important at a time like this. I hope he will take it easy for a while. He deserves some sick leave

Hi sparkles_n15
Thank you for translation, again we are in your debt...best wishes mary.

Hi Safran
Time and sleep are great healers. When unfortunate things happen to me as they do from time to time one of my remedies is to lie down and try to sleep. It's one of my coping mechanisms for a time your troubles, no matter what are forgotten.The feeling of fatigue in body mind and spirit is gone. Your cells are renewed giving you the energy needed. As already stated it's a good sign Tony got a good nights sleep long may it continue...best wishes mary.

Hi Info
Also thanks to you for always keeping us up to date. Your work is very much appreciated...best wishes mary.
