The oft-noted "Grandmaster" actor will be honored at a Dec. 12 ceremony in Hong Kong.

"It is a great honor to be able to single out Tony Leung for his excellence in performance, most notably in The Grandmaster," stated Robert H. Sunshine, co-managing director of the convention. "His combination of continued critical acclaim and success at the box office makes him one of the most extraordinary actors of his time. He is considered to be the finest actor of his generation in Hong Kong."

Leung first made his name in television with number of comedy roles at TVB, including Police Cadet in 1984 alongside Lau Ching-Wan, Carina Lau and Maggie Cheung. He later won best supporting actor for People's Hero and My Heart is That Eternal Rose at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and appeared in films by other internationally renowned directors, such as Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s A City of Sadness, Tran Anh Hung’s Cyclo, Zhang Yimou’s Hero and Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution.

Throughout the early nineties, Leung starred Tom, Dick and Hairy, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Father, Dr. Mack and Heaven Can't Wait (1995), as well as in director Wong Kar-Wai's films: Chungking Express, Happy Together and In the Mood for Love, all of which landed him Best Actor awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, with the latter earning him the best actor honor at the Cannes Film Festival. He also starred in two of Hong Kong's biggest hits ever, Infernal Affairs and Hero, landing a record fourth best actor win for Infernal Affairs and his sixth statuette overall.

Recently, Leung has appeared in The Wind Seeker, Red Cliff I and II by John Woo, Confession of Pain, 2046 and Soul Raiders.

Tony Leung’s Latest Award: ‘Actor Extraordinaire’
The Wall Street Journal
December 12, 2013, 6:10 PM
By Joyu Wang

For actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai, the world of movies is simpler than the real world.

“In a movie, you just follow a director’s guidance about what your character should be like, and the background is all set up,” Mr. Leung said on Thursday in Hong Kong, where he was awarded this year’s “actor extraordinaire” prize by CineAsia, a film-industry group. “But reality is much more complicated than that.”

Mr. Leung has applied that view in a career that has spanned more than three decades. The star of “The Grandmaster” and the “Infernal Affairs” trilogy said he feels lucky to have been a part of Hong Kong’s “Golden Age” of cinema.

“I think of myself as neither a great actor nor a bad one,” he said. “Making movies is about teamwork, and I am very lucky to be supported by colleagues, the audience and the media.”

Mr. Leung has appeared in more than 60 films and worked with many of Asia’s most prominent directors, including Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, John Woo and Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Most notable is Mr. Leung’s longtime collaboration with filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, beginning in 1990 with “Days of Being Wild.” The two went on to make six additional films, including “Chungking Express” (1994), “Happy Together” (1997) and “In the Mood for Love” (2000), for which he won the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

In “The Grandmaster,” their latest film, Mr. Leung plays real-life martial-arts master Ip Man. The performance earned Mr. Leung a best actor nomination at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival awards. The ceremony will be held in Macau on Sunday.

“It is a great honor to be able to single out Tony Leung for his excellence in performance, most notably in ‘The Grandmaster,’ ” CineAsia Co-Managing Director Robert H. Sunshine said in a statement prior to Thursday’s award ceremony. “His combination of continued critical acclaim and success at the box office makes him one of the most extraordinary actors of his time.”

CineAsia brings together movie-industry professionals from across Asia and elsewhere, with a focus on exhibition and distribution. Last year, the group honored Korean actor Lee Byung-hun as its star of the year.

梁朝偉為梅艷芳紀念演唱會獻唱嗌驚:唔好畀壓力我

【on.cc東網專訊】獲獎無數的梁朝偉再次榮獲《亞洲電影博覽會2013》頒發「傑出演員獎」,今日朝偉一身黑色西裝配光頭look出席頒獎禮,而受訪時,一向喜怒不形於色的朝偉,亦未有表現特別興奮,只謂:「ok啦!」更不斷謙爆強調自己幸運:「三十年嚟都好幸運,遇到好嘅資源、團隊、導演,又成長於香港電影黃金時代,唔係我一個人可以有咁嘅成績,得到同業肯定,傳媒朋友同觀眾,少一樣都唔得。」他指自己未來沒有特別目標,只希望繼續拍電影:「過咗五十歲,係另一個階段,希望往後演員生涯有新嘅路向,拍一啲成熟嘅角色 。」

日前朝偉在金馬獎不敵李康生,失落影帝,而稍後舉行的亞太影展頒獎禮,二人亦雙雙提名最佳男主角,對於與勁敵李康生再度硬撼,朝偉抱平常心態度:「心態唔同咗,大家高興啦!唔係得我有付出,其他演員都需要鼓勵,唔係我先識做戲,邊個需要鼓勵就畀邊個,我攞我又開心,人哋攞我又開心。」

另外,朝偉指聖誕將主力為梅艷芳逝世十周年紀念演唱會綵排,問到屆時會唱什麼歌,他笑言:「等張學友安排!我自己都好驚,唔好畀壓力我,個心最緊要,又唔係歌唱比賽。」
