VENICE - Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai received a Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, brushing away his tears as he was given a prolonged standing ovation.Leung gained international recognition for his roles in movies made by Wong Kar-wai, such as"In the Mood for Love", which came out in 2000, and"2046", which hit the screens four years later.
Talking to reporters ahead of the ceremony, the 61-year-old Leung said acting had helped him become less shy."I used to suppress all the feelings inside. I didn't show all my feelings in front of others," he said. On that occasion, Leung played the hero, while Lau was the baddie. This time their roles are reversed."I think it's very challenging to me to play the bad guy," he told reporters.
