Both were colleagues at TVB in the 80s. It's definitely why Tony is more relaxed in this interview compared to other ones.
speaking in his native tongue, cantonese helps too :-)
This is like a mother & son reunion 😂
@@dracokaiser Yep, 張無忌 and his mother!
This is what the past generation is like always respect or automatic respect seniors there was seniority in the industry especially if the senior is popular or path way for future generation as they feel is bringing pride and honor to the people of Hong Kong a very different perspective from the new generation. You must know this is Tony we talking about who didn't shy and told Maggie Cheung since day 1 that she can't act. Look down on her. They overcome it and have made amends and films a couple more films after.
@@kingofpopbts2080 哈 i never watched that !!
Everyone else on working with Tony Leung on Shang-Chi: "Like wow, he's absolutely incredible. Inspiring work ethic. Truly a movie star on another level."
Tony Leung on working on a Marvel film: "Man, it was hard and exhausting. I was stressed."
XD ultimate based
This is different from all the other Marvel interviews. He was not trying to sell the movie or compliment everyone and everything. He was not excited to be in a Marvel movie and don’t care for being in the sequel. He can do and say what he wants. Guess there is no pressure when you are already a legend.
Yeah. Tony is usually very shy in interviews because of his introverted nature. Here his is interviewed by Dodo Cheng who is a well respected actress and MC in her own right. They were also colleagues back in their TV days in the 80s, so you can see Tony being more relaxed and more like talking to an old friend.
It helps that they are friends for many years
@@almo8989 Ah! That's her name!! I was like... I know that face but what's her name again?? Lol Thanks!
really a great interview, a lot of new information for me
It's funny he got stressed because he got what he wanted. He wanted to be outside his confort zone; thus, he knew no one in the cast, the role was not what he expected, in another country, in front of green screen... hahaha... But he did a great job.
So refreshing listening to them speak Cantonese. It's just great how they are so down to earth and speaking about everyday people topics. Health is important.
With Jackie Chan going full PRC Mandarin it's important for HK celebrities to keep the Canto going
@@SantomPh Yeah, Jackie Chan has betrayed Hong Kong people. He has become a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party. No wonder he abandon his Hong Kong origin and speaks Mandarin now. I am happy that real artists like Tony and Carol still speak Cantonese.
they are old friends. we can see how they ease in talking, and Tony letting his guard down and relax. i think this is great stuff.
@@SantomPh There are 60 million Cantonese speakers in China, including 7 million HK. You are talking out of your ass.
@@lq9734 I think what SamtonPh was referring to is that it is nice and important that HK artist and HK people preserve the Cantonese Dialect by speaking more Cantonese during interviews. In case you are not aware, but the Chinese government are enforcing that the main language is mandarin and that teachers must teach and speak mandarin at school. This has been enforced in China already even in the Canton province, and they want to enforce this to HK as well. by doing that Cantonese speaking are being decreased along the years in China already. Judging at this at this rate , As years goes by, In future, China will probably be only left half of what you say , less than 30 millions canton speakers and then gets lesser and lesser Cantonese speaking peoples in China.
This is definitely the best interview with Tong Leung on Shang-Chi. He looks so relaxed talking to Dodo.
coz they knew each other as well.
And so honest -"most stressful movie..." hahaha...
agree. a couple of friends chatting. and also its great Dodo also a movie star, so she asks those little details that others may not: how long was ur lunch break???
As someone who speaks Cantonese, I want to say your subtitles are really absolutely top tier
For someone who has won so many accolades and achieved so much, there’s something very down to earth about him. Ok, about his depiction of Wenwu; no one has mentioned it anywhere, but if you want to see him at his best, go to the scene when he was in his study reminiscing about his family when his henchman came to tell him that they were ready to move out. Look at how his expression changes. I don’t know how many people can pull it off.
Oh fuck yeah that shot was exceptional, he out acted most marvel movies in that 5 seconds. Even people who didn't know him would see years of experience behind that expression change
I think this is one of the better interview and a more relaxed Tony Leung. He has more hand gestures and at one point he moved a bit forward. The questions lead to a lot of revealation about the filming, the thoughts about the character. Very nice!
The one who was doing the interview is a legendary actress and top tv host herself, Carol Cheng. She basically from the same acting era at broadcasting company TVB in Hong Kong, and is considered to be of the same celebrity status and caliber as Tony Leung
They are old friends. Dodo and Tony had worked together in a few TV series back in the 80s to 90s.
becos dodo cheng is his long time friend of cos he will more comfy like talking to a friend. tony is an ultimate introverts :D :D
@@tinyhowie But it is strange she says his full name when addressing him... hahaha...
@@cyc20976 Didn't know Dodo Cheng's name was Carol. Is that really it?
This was a great interview! She asked really thoughtful questions and I think her previous relationship with him as a friend and coworker helped with putting him at ease. She asked questions I would never have thought to ask but questions that I would've wanted to know the answer to. The interview seemed more like a conversation between friends. Well done!
dodo was actually doing the same drama series 家有嬌妻 with TONY LEUNG. so they are really long time friends for at least over 20 years
yes! Dodo is an excellent interviewer. I have watched her since i was a little kid. Never ceases to amaze me.
This is such a treat to see two old friends talking. I have watched Dodo in TV series and as an MC growing up and have watch Tony Leung "grew up" in TVB. Dodo did a great interview again and you could tell Tony is most relaxed in this interview.
Thanks for your support and encouragement ❤️ on my post
What a boss! He doesn't even need to speak with the director or have a read through on the role. He just acts it out and made the Mandarin a phenomenal "villain". Amazing Tony Leung.
This interview genuinely feels like watching two friends having a chat. It was great interview to know Tony more as a person. Such introverted person and talanted, professional actor!
I love how this isn't just an interview on the movie, it's a rare interview of Tony Leung himself for his fans.
I love Tony Leong and proud of his list of films. People loved his character more than the lead. Tony's charisma and acting is just superb.
Never knew that he is such a sports buff, now I know why he didn't need alot of training for the Shang-chi movie. Probably already in very good shape. Nice and in-depth interview!
He did have some physical kungfu training when he was in TVB ("5 tigers" for celebrating the company's birthday). Thats why you saw him (or Andy Lau) did some somersault or jumping reverse kicks in films. Check out "The Eagle Shooting Heros", near the end of the movie, Tony did a flying forward flipover in an uncut shot, no double.
He's played Ip Man on screen. That's proof ebough
In the interview with the other cast and director...they too were surprised that Tony was actually quite sporty.
@@sifu2u_now They were probably thinking of a stereotype Asian who is more nerdy than sporty.
As a canadian born chinese, adult now; I forgot most of my Cantonese, but listening to stuff like these (interviews) starts to and help bring most of my Cantonese back.
This is why Tony Leung is such a real legend
This is the best and most interesting interview Tony Leung for Shang Chi. Much kudos to Dodo for great questions and especially in Cantonese.
DoDo was good by not asking those cliche questions.
@@jim_jim1674 I think it helps she has known him for so many years and they basically grew up together on TV via TVB
She really hit her point very well..those questions is high quality questions
@@laiszeyap Some questions no reporter would ever dare to ask! Dodo grilled Tony like a nice piece of steak! 😅
Watched it a second time, this time reading the subtitles, I can say in my opinion the translation is almost 1 to 1, the nuances of certain words and terms are translated correctly and retaining it's cantonese flavour. Good Job on the Translation.
What an amazing interview, we learned a lot about Tony's personal life, which is not something he would've easily shared with another interviewer
Tony Leung voice is so soothing, I just want to fall asleep engulfed in his wisdom.
Best interview of Tony on Shang-chi. Dodo asked quality questions from an insider's POV, that Tony didn't shared in other interview. Glad to know these interesting behind the scene stories.
Tony Leung seems more relaxed in this one. It feels more like a conversation of old friends rather than interview.
Fantastic interview. Tony is hard to interview well as he is such an introvert. Being interviewed by an actress he knows in Cantonese works really well.
This is so great!!! Comforting too. I am from Hong Kong descent, but born and raised in Belgium. I do speak Cantonese. Grew up watching lent video tapes of HK series or dubbed cartoons.
To be able to see these two HK icons have a chat together for a "foreign" project... I LOVED IT!!!
Tony Leung is amazing & he was born to play WenWu. Shang-Chi was amazing & WenWu had so much complexity & depth. Like he said in the interview there was a lot of sentimentality & humanity to WenWu. He wasn’t some formulaic or generic “villain.” He was driven by power as he was enabled by the Ten Rings but gave it all up for love & family. The tragedy was he lost it all & had to go back to the only other thing he had known his whole life, using the Ten Rings. He was now driven by grief & wanted to reunite the family. It was such a good story & Tony played him amazingly.
When he saves Shang-Chi’s life but is grabbed by the Dweller & unable to use his arms, he loses his soul. I nearly cried. Despite WenWu’s flaws, he is a character you like. Actually a character you love. He is the perfect anti-hero. Shang-Chi ended up being one of Marvel’s best movies & WenWu is one of the best “villains” though it is flawed & shortsighted characterizing him as such.
Do姐 is considered as one of the best MCs in Hong Kong! She is one of the few MCs who doesn't need a cue card whenever she does interviews which I find it really professional as well as keeping more eye contact with the interviewee as well!!
As she is a well self-discipline person with so much on the ball in every interview
頂尖主持訪問頂尖演員.
佢示範左咩係演員應該有既修養! 唔係個D有個錢就搵人上市買樓分拆做發展商. 也不是自己拍拍下走去做導演.同大陸合拍分紅, 佢既修養由自己生活開始. 平淡生活. 不沾染名利慾望. 工作時拍好片. 休息時也是為了工作. 香港人以你為榮.
Laughed at Tony's nervousness around the sequel questions. No spoilers allowed or the Marvel ninjas come for your head.
His character is dead
@@93hothead so is loki, but at this point, not rlly
really at this point, anything can happen
*cough* tom holland
Thanks for your support and encouragement ❤️ on my post
@@93hothead so was Loki a couple of times lol
Tony Leung has the ten rings. No Marvel ninjas would dare to touch him.
Wow this is one of the longest and most relaxed interviews I’ve ever seen of Tony Leung! Thank you so much for subtitling this. I’m Cantonese but I can’t speak a word of it; have been trying to learn as an adult and this is really helpful!
Tony Leung’s character is perhaps one of, if not the best villain in MCU history, and Tony’s acting really is the standout in Shang Chi. I loved it and I heartily recommend you to catch it in a theatre too!
I've always been interested in how actors from other countries feel about filming in American movies. I like how in depth Tony goes into character development, the shooting schedule and production side of Shang-Chi.
Thanks so much for providing English subtitles! DoDo Cheng and Tony go way back during their TVB days.
Tony Leung is my hero since i have watched him in ''In the mood for love'' (on my top 5 list movies) and also Michelle Yeoh ... great actors, great emotional. deliveries. And really his eyes are so expressive. Is like you could watch him forever.
This is such a godsend!
Thank you for your hardwork! 🙏🏻
I live my days watching all of Tony's youtube interviews recently. What a legend.
Tony is truly a movie legend. so glad that he is taking good care of body and enjoying every step of his life!
This is one of the best interviews I have seen of him doing for promoting Shang-Chi. It certainly is due to their friendship but the host is also very skillful.
What a wonderful interview! Thank you so much for the translation. Like someone else said you're doing god's work for us fans.
Thanks so much for your subs! I haven't seen Dodo Cheng for the longest time and it's great to see how relaxed Tony was with her. One of the best interviews I've seen with Tony so far, that's for sure. It felt like a catchup between two friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Thank you for uploading this! I think this is the best (and my favorite) interview of Tony’s for Shang-Chi. As people stated in the comments, he seems more comfortable. But also the interviewer IS more well-informed with not just his career as an actor but him as a human…which makes this a great interview for the two :)
OMG I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW. It was so genuine and relaxed. I felt like I really connected with him. It's like a podcast where 2 old friends were just catching up after a long time away. And thank you for doing the god's work with the translation.
Appreciate the person who gave English subtitles to this interview ⭐
This interview is so much fun. Thanks a ton for the English subtitles.
He's so down to earth. Such a normal guy and yet such a fabulous actor ❤️
Such an amazing interview! Dodo’s interview skill was surprising me! She still remembered what had happened in the past, even it was in a very long time ago. She also a celebrity who is my inspiration. I admire Dodo a lot for her successful career in both acting and hosting and also her own personality. No matter what happens, I always support you Dodo姐!
Thank you so much for translating and sharing this, much appreciated!
Just came across this now, thanks so much for putting in the work to translate it! So great being able to hear Tony Leung speak in depth and so comfortably about his experiences in Cantonese.
It's his first language, no dialect coach required! 😂
Thank you for subbing this interview!!! I wish I knew Cantonese 😭 heard about DoDo interviewing him but thought I'd never learn what they talked about.
从他的表情，谈到运动两眼发光，说起话来更积极，很享受自己运动的当下，即使一个人也很享受或则说更希望一个人（不希望被打扰）。
他是那种，如果你没有兴趣只是来陪或应酬他运动，他会更希望一个人的那种。
但是如果你与他有一样的兴趣，与他一样的投入度，你们绝对能成为运动的好朋友。
That is one of the best interviews I saw he had, saw the duration of the video at first and was like maybe I'll watch 5minutes of it, now that I complete the whole video, can't help but want it to be longer
He is more out-spoken than when he was younger. Such a great interview. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great interview! Love the Cantonese, the casual/real feel, and talking to Dodo (an old show-biz friend).
happy belated 60th birthday to awesome Tony Leung 🎂
As Tony fans mentioned here, Tony just talked to his old colleagues of TVB during its “GOLDEN ERA”. Before kpop, Tony, Chow Yun Fat, Dodo(the female host), Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau were THE MEGA STARS in Asia.
Dodo always played the counterpart with Chow Yun Fat.
This is the interview that we deserved. Love this!
this may not be the funniest or most exciting interview,
but I strangely watching it again and again.
The advantages that DoDo has but not the other interviewer is, she did interview Tony before and she knew him for decades. Both of them are the best Actor/Actress in many awards.
Thank you for uploading this 🙏🙏🙏
Good job on the translation! Thank you! Keep it up!
this interview put a big warmth happy grin in my face. a very family like , i can tell the friendship relationship here between the interviewer who is a legendary HK actress too Dodo Cheng and Tony. the questions and answers are so thorough and detailed, i truly enjoy this interview.
Good interview. So refreshing to also hear this in Cantonese.
Awesome work~!!! ^^ Thanks for the translations and the subs~!! *^^*
Thank you..
You did a great job uploader.
Thanks for this! After watching Shang-Chi, I really wanted more of Tony's experience with the film. While there are official interviews with him out there regarding Shang-Chi, it's not as in-depth as this one, with him speaking Cantonese to boot too!
He's coming to Vancouver next! Will need to keep an eye out for Tony Leung. He's such an amazing actor who've I've always loved watching 🥰
Omg, I love this woman. Can't stop azn-moming him. Oh you sail? Have you ever competed? 2nd place? Hey that's not too bad! You know, you should go win a medal at the Olympics for us!
I've always known Dodo only as the great MC growing up and didn't know she was a great actress herself. Truly two legends of HK cinema here.
DoDo was "鄭九組” , at her prime time she literally acted for 9 movies at the same period of time.
@@jim_jim1674 they seem quite comfortable staying in Hong Kong. How will the Chinese takeover affect their flexibility in getting movie or tv roles?
I will put it this way, by the fame, talent and wealth they have, they can go and live anywhere they want and will be very welcomed. Their only concern is their family.
@@jim_jim1674 Yep, I agree. They are already Hong Kong legends in the entertainment industry with alot of wealth and clout. They themselves will be fine, but I'm sure they worry about their other extended friends and family who may not be as fortunate.
@@suejones9828 They are Chinese so I think they will be fine.
I like how he avoided saying SPOILERS he dies in the movie
俩位超級健康的香港娛人，三觀正和智慧都相當高，非常欣賞你們。❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
As a kid, I watched TV series they starred in.
I didn’t even understand Cantonese, but my grandma, aunt and I were crazy about watching those TV series.
Tony Leung what a legend! Thank you for this, this was a great interview!!
Best interview with old friend love it :) 💙
Tony really loves water sports . . .🤣
Hope he comes back for sequels
Great proper chat between friends to learn so much about Tony Leung compared to usual generic interview.
My favorite part is when Dodo said “I wouldn’t exactly call it exciting HAHA” and Tony defended “It’s pretty exciting!” Lol
Can confirm. Seemingly mundane routines can be quite exciting for introverts.
I grew up watching these 2 on tv. and this is by far the most relaxed tony Leung in an interview, a fellow friend eases up the tension i guess.
Thanks so much for this great interview with excellent English subtitles.
My Cantonese improved just by watching this interview
Yup
ty ty! this is the best interview!
A lot of insight into Tony Leung and filming, great interview!
Thanks so much for the subs!!!
Great interview, props to the parents for teaching me Canto in the US.
I only knew him in Sangchi. But he does sound familiar. His natural speaking voice is well modulated. He is a sophisticated, humble and amazing actor. Wow He is a living legend himself.
Great interview with DoDo. She really made him feel comfortable and let his hair down.
Really my all time most favourite actor Tony Leung. I wish him to have great health and happiness
Wish Tony have a healthy and happy life each day 😊
For the people who don't know,the woman is also a famous actress in Hong Kong and extremely gorgeous❤
Yay! Thank you for subs.
EDIT 24/10
I FINALLY WATCHED IT! IN CINEMAS! Wenwu was, as described, nowhere near a regular villain, and Tony brought so much nuance to the role! What do you mean I'm getting drawn into MCU--
02/10: Here's one of the first TV dramas starring a 21 year old Tony (and subtitled by the poster)! czcams.com/video/UIVQBPRdq8c/video.html
17/09 - 08:37 - Revised subtitles: "Ooh, a villain, we've got The Joker here, this will be fun!" -- thanks Schweppes for clarifying! It adds a lot more to Tony's view of the role having this line corrected. Have revised in the soft subtitles (turn on CC to view).
***
Hello! Shoutout to the folks who originally posted this in subtle cantonese traits -- I'm glad the subs have helped with #learncanto! As an Aussie with Chinese heritage I hope to keep a working knowledge of Canto in the years to come.
This is my first (hobby) translation project :) It's also my first attempt at using Aegisub to time subtitles, having input them natively on CZcams for my previous transcription projects, but I need to tweak and play with Handbrake a bit more when exporting the video for clearer subs even with standard definition video.
Some phrases don't have a 1:1 translation (like 文藝片, even when Tony himself loosely translates it as "drama") - this was what made the exercise so fun :)
I haven't watched MCU films (Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse just barely counts) but I'm keen given Tony's in it! haha
Thank you for the Translation ☺👍
thanks so much for subbing!!!
You did a great job!
Well done on the subs!!! The movie is really great you should definitely watch it! His performance was amazing and with all the other cast.
