When I first met Wong Kar-wai, I was stuck.
Watch on Deadline
I was working with Maggie Cheung.
And Wong Kar-Wai was watching my acting and knew what wasnt great about it, Leung said.

Tony Leung.Tokyo Film Festival.
Maggie could finish a scene in 2-3 takes while I had tens of retakes.
So he told me to disassemble the things I knew.
Wong Kar-Wai is an amazing director.

Wong Kar-Wai does have a script, but he doesnt show it to us, Leung said.
He wants to create a lot of leeway on the set.
Thats why he wants that leeway, Leung said.
I have been preparing for eight months.
The Tokyo Film Festival runs until November 1.
