　　After reading the script, Tony Leung asked if he could watch the director's previous works, "I still remember that day I watched it at the Emperor Cinemas in Hong Kong with Carina and a group of friends.

　　Sound is also part of the performance

　　For "No Name", Tony Leung had a lot of Mandarin dialogues, and this film can be said to be his work with the most Mandarin dialogues.

The director team specially arranged a Mandarin teacher for him, and Tony Leung said he didn't find it hard, "This is the necessary preparation for an actor to enter the role, and the process is very fun."

　　But Tony Leung admitted that he was also very nervous at the beginning, because he doesn’t usually speak Mandarin, “So I also practiced and prepared a lot before filming. I was still very nervous when shooting the first one or two shots, after all, language is still very important to me. It was a big challenge. But after the shooting, I also felt that as long as you are willing to work hard and take the time to prepare, it is actually not difficult. It is also very fulfilling for me, and it has increased my self-confidence. At first I practiced with my teacher in Hong Kong, but when I arrived in Shanghai, because of some adjustments to the script, I relearned Mandarin and found another teacher.”

　　Tony Leung said with a smile that he doesn't speak Mandarin well, so it really took a lot of effort this time, "In my memory, I seldom use my own original voice when making Mandarin movies, and often use dubbing. Maybe it's because I don't like my speaking standards. This time seems to be my second work in Mandarin with my own original voice. I am very happy, I think voice is also part of the performance, and I think it will be much worse if I can’t use my own voice.”

　　Regarding the evaluation given by the outside world that "God appreciates food, you are a born actor", Tony Leung said that some parts of a good actor are born, "For example, you are very emotional, and you have a particularly delicate feeling for certain things. It's like I usually have visual The senses of touch, taste, and touch are particularly sensitive, which is inborn. But geniuses still need to be cultivated, and talent also needs acquired training.” (Text/Reporter Xiao Yang)
