He was the youngest winner in the history of the Hong Kong Academy Awards, but he was banned.

He simply switched to stall, generous and willing to do business, neither supercilious nor supercilious. When the ban was lifted, he came back and went on to win major awards.

For more than 30 years, he has starred in more than 100 films, and his role has never been repeated. Known as a thousand-faced actor, he insists that he is not a star, but an actor.

He is also a well-known representative of good people. His unswerving affection for his wife is enviable. He has worked with countless beautiful actors, but he said that my wife is the most beautiful in my heart.

He is the famous actor Tony Leung Ka Fai.

He has many labels on him, such as film emperor, columnist, painter, explorer, good man, super nanny and so on, but he said, don't deify me, I am an ordinary person.

In the movie Paradise Cinema, the little hero sits in the cinema and stares at the plot of the film with relish, which is a true portrayal of Tony Leung Ka Fai's childhood.

Tony Leung Ka Fai's mother runs a cinema. Not long after Tony Leung Ka Fai was born, her mother took him to the cinema to work every day and put him under the projector, because there was usually no one sitting there.

Tony Leung Ka Fai stayed in this dark environment for six or seven years. He said there seems to be a fate in the dark. "It seems that the movie chose me, not me."

At that time, he studied design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. After graduation, he accompanied his classmates to apply for TVB's artist training class. As a result, his classmates failed, but he was chosen and became an artist in 10. At the same time, his classmates include Andy Lau.

Tony Leung Ka Fai began to walk on the catwalk during the training. On one occasion, he and Andy Lau were selected as Chow Yun Fat's minions together, and there was a line: "Yes, Brother Long".

At that time, Fage was already very popular, and Tony Leung Ka Fai and Andy Lau were very excited. Before filming, they think they must perform well. Finally, Andy Lau came on stage with a toothpick between his teeth, and Tony Leung Ka Fai put his hand in his pocket.

As a result, the director swore at the scene after seeing it: Who are those two and what are they doing? What do you do? Why bite your teeth and sign? Just finished eating? Who do you think you are? Napoleon?

Tony Leung Ka Fai and Andy Lau were scolded with a face of frustration.

Later, TVB asked the artists who participated in the training to sign an eight-year contract with them, but the salary was pitiful. The walk-on days made Tony Leung Ka Fai feel that there was no future, so he didn't sign, and his dream was shattered before he started.

Compared with the flowers in the greenhouse, Tony Leung Ka Fai is more like the grass outside, and it can find its place in any environment.

He doesn't regret not entering the door of TVB. He doesn't feel sorry at all. He turned to do something else. He used to be a model and run his own magazine, but he was the only one in the magazine.

But it was this magazine that brought him back to show business. This time, it is still the performance hall and movie screen that all actors dream of.

At that time, Tony Leung Ka Fai was looking for a cover girl for her magazine, and the final model was Margaret Lee Ding Long. Many people are not familiar with this name, but when it comes to her father, he is the famous director Li Hanxiang.

Tony Leung Ka Fai dated Margaret Li Dinglong for a period of time and followed her home for dinner, so he met the great director Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang discovered Tony Leung Ka Fai's acting talent and plasticity. Soon after, he invited Tony Leung Ka Fai to Beijing with him.

At that time, Tony Leung Ka Fai's magazine was not successful, so he followed Li Hanxiang to Beijing. He thought it was just a walk-on. As a result, he didn't expect Li Hanxiang to let him play the leading role of Emperor Xianfeng, and it was two plays by continuous shooting, namely Burning the Yuanmingyuan and Hanging the Curtain for Politics.

Later, Tony Leung Ka Fai recalled that Li Hanxiang had taught him a lot during that time. When he is not filming, he learns to take notes with Li Hanxiang, and he pays attention to all the work of the crew.

To Tony Leung Ka Fai's surprise, Listening to Politics Behind the Scenes helped him win the title of Best Actor in the 3rd Hong Kong Academy Awards, when he was only 26 years old. Strictly speaking, this play is his second film.

However, what people didn't expect was that someone made a fuss about this film, criticized Tony Leung Ka Fai, and asked him to write a repentance book, otherwise it would be banned.

Tony Leung Ka Fai would rather be banned than write a word. "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated", and Tony Leung Ka Fai, who is full of lofty sentiments, left the film circle.

Fate arrived, and Tony Leung Ka Fai, who left the film circle, began to cooperate with friends and set up a stall to sell leather goods in Causeway Bay.

He is very open-minded, everyone will encounter various situations in life, and he never cares about any trough or peak. When he won the best actor, he didn't feel how great he was; When setting up a stall, he didn't feel poor.

Someone recognized him and asked him if he was the winner, Tony Leung Ka Fai?

He answered calmly, yes.

That street vendor was the most precious time in his life, because at that time he met Jiang Jianian, who later became his wife.

Jiang Jianian was then a producer of Radio Television Hong Kong. She likes Tony Leung Ka Fai's performance very much, and she is also keen on him. She is not afraid of any ban, and sincerely invites Tony Leung Ka Fai to participate in their program recording.

In the long run, Tony Leung Ka Fai had deep feelings for Jiang Jianian, but at first Jiang Jianian had a boyfriend, so he hid his feelings. Then one day, I learned that her boyfriend didn't go to see her again, suspecting that they had broken up.

Tony Leung Ka Fai went to Jiang Jianian with two movie tickets given to him by his friend and gave her a movie ticket.

He said to her, "I want to invite you to the movies. Anyway, one vote is on your side and one vote is on my side. If you want to come, I will wait for you there at 7: 30. Otherwise forget it. "

In this way, the two naturally came together.

When she got married, Tony Leung Ka Fai had only 8,000 yuan in savings. He spent 800 yuan on a ring for his wife, and the rest of 7 yuan on two tables of banquets and a honeymoon suite.

But because Tony Leung Ka Fai was being banned at that time, he didn't inform both parents, for fear that the media would report the marriage after the incident was exposed. Tony Leung Ka Fai and Jiang Jianian's elder sister came to witness the wedding, and some close friends also attended.

Later, a friend asked him, are you married to Jiang Jianian?

He agreed without thinking so much.

Who knows that my friend wrote it the next day, and now everyone knows that they are married.

Tony Leung Ka Fai's mother was very angry when she learned that. Why didn't her son tell her about his marriage?

Tony Leung Ka Fai said that he was actually afraid that his mother would force him to hold a banquet, but he really didn't want to spend his mother's money on the wedding.

Finally, Tony Leung Ka Fai borrowed money from his friends and held another banquet.

Before getting married, Tony Leung Ka Fai asked Jiang Jianian, I have nothing. Aren't you worried about marrying me? Jiang Jianian said, I know very well that you won't make me sad.

Tony Leung Ka Fai remembered this sentence all his life and vowed that he would never make his wife sad in this life.

Many people ask Tony Leung Ka Fai, don't you feel inferior when you are a local vendor and your wife is a producer? Tony Leung Ka Fai said never.

They are also vendors with different mentality and different endings. No matter what Tony Leung Ka Fai does, he always takes a positive and optimistic attitude and tries his best to do it well.

Just like when he was a walk-on in the early days, there was only one line in a scene, and he tried to act it well.

In an interview, he said that the Hong Kong film circle was chaotic for a while and was forced to shoot a lot of bad films, but he thought that there were no bad scripts in the world, only bad actors.

Even in the most chaotic environment, Tony Leung Ka Fai takes every role seriously.

A Thousand Faces Shadow Emperor is not a hollow reputation, but Tony Leung Ka Fai's real down-to-earth heart and sweat. It is said that after he gets the script, he will write a biography of himself, which is more detailed than the screenwriter's biography.

Especially during the street stall in Tony Leung Ka Fai, I was not idle.

In order to help him, his friend invited him to write a column. As a result, he wrote for twenty years.

It was his persistent energy that won him the title of Best Actor in the 27th Golden Horse Award when he returned to the film industry after lifting the ban.

Since then, although Tony Leung Ka Fai has encountered many difficulties, he has always insisted on filming, created countless different roles and won many trophies.

He said that these roles are not like himself, and he doesn't like to play repetitive roles, so after playing Lover, he turned down many invitations from Hollywood because the roles are all the same.

When his career was booming, his wife, Jiang Jianian, retired behind the scenes to take care of his daily life, gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for him, and provoked the burden of the family.

However, the years are ruthless, the appearance is perishable, and the wife's figure begins to go out of shape. Many Hong Kong media began to take candid photos of the two men, and advertised in newspapers that Tony Leung Ka Fai had married an ugly wife.

You know, when they got married, the media unanimously praised Tony Leung Ka Fai for marrying a "good wife that everyone applauds". Now, Jiang Jianian sacrificed his career for his family. Tony Leung Ka Fai was ridiculed as an ugly wife after she became a well-known film emperor.

In this regard, Tony Leung Ka Fai domineering response. In his mind, his wife is always the most beautiful!

I finally understand why they choose each other and love each other for life, because they all know themselves very well, are optimistic about life and share common values: no matter what they do, they can find their own value and achieve themselves.

Whether you are a producer on the radio or a housewife at home; Whether it is a stall or a performance, they will try their best to do it well.

Many people are confused about their lives because they lack this sense of self-identity. Self-recognition is more important than letting others recognize us.

This is Tony Leung Ka Fai's greatest success.
