介绍： Tony Leung Doesn’t Want a Challenge. He Wants a Director He Can Trust.
While actors like to hold forth about pursuing challenging roles, Tony Leung Chiu-wai is quick to say that’s not how he operates.
“I’m the kind of actor who loves to stay in my comfort zone,” said a jovial Leung, 63.
And yet Leung, whose longing, expressive eyes have enamored cinephiles in landmark romantic dramas like “In the Mood for Love,” has lately taken on distinctly new characters in movies far from home.
The latest, “Silent Friend,” from Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi, is Leung’s first appearance in a fully European production.
His selectiveness has nothing to do with the geographical location, but instead his compatibility with the filmmaker. “I pick every project because of the person, not the story,” he said. “I trust my instinct rather than my head.”
“He had a real person-to-person interaction with the interviewers,” Enyedi recalled. “He wasn’t shielding himself. I felt a person who wasn’t just doing what is asked of him, but creating a meaningful moment.” 
Enyedi hoped to portray Leung with a vulnerability she didn’t think he’d been given the chance to tap into before.
To convincingly transform into a neuroscientist, Leung prepared in a fiercely intellectual way. Enyedi assigned him some heady reading, including James Bridle’s eco-philosophy book “Ways of Being.”
“I try to have a beginner’s mind on every movie,” Leung said. “Really experienced actors miss a lot of things when they think, ‘Oh I went through it before, I know what it is.’ No! Every time is different.”
