After 20 Years
The two masters of Hong Kong cinema, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau, are garnering attention for their dazzling reunion. On the special invitation seat of JTBC’s ‘Newsroom’, they discussed the Hong Kong noir film ‘Goldfinger’, which is set to be released in April. This movie marks the first time in 20 years that Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau have teamed up since ‘Infernal Affairs’, depicting the intense confrontation between Cheng Yiyan (played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai), the head of the Carmen Group which dominates the Hong Kong economy, and anti-corruption investigator Liu Chi Yuan (played by Andy Lau).
Anchor Kang Jiyoung had a deep conversation with the two actors, especially moving to Hong Kong. Tony Leung Chiu-wai expressed his excitement about taking on a character he had never tried before, while Andy Lau shared, “I was happy to work with Tony Leung Chiu-wai again. The structure and theme of the script felt very unique, so I decided to join right away.” The two actors showed their immense trust and respect for each other, stating that the strong friendship and rapport built over the 20 years brought out the best synergy in this project.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai also admitted his admiration for Andy Lau’s ability to excel both in singing and acting, and Andy Lau expressed his desire to learn from Tony Leung Chiu-wai’s successful approach to work, life, and dreams. Moreover, both actors confidently stated they would choose the path of acting if they were born again, and they appealed for support for ‘Goldfinger’ with deep affection for their Korean fans.
‘Goldfinger’ is not only anticipated for the reunion of these two actors but also expected to become a new legend in the Hong Kong noir genre. It’s safe to look forward to the fiery acting showdown between Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau. As interest in their next moves grows, we wish for the successful release of ‘Goldfinger’.
