Tony Leung Buys Couple Jewelry to Make Wife Happy

Director Wong Kar Wai announced filming new film <一代宗师> in 2002, but it wasn't until last year that he began filming. Male lead Tony Leung Chiu Wai seems being fooled by his good friend. He didn't know when the film will be done filming, and often have to fly back and forth from Hong Kong to Mainland.

Tony's wife Carina Lau of course isn't too happy about it. Earlier when she promoted film <> in Beijing, she first said box office of <> definitely can't be better than <一代宗师>, then she pointed Wong is slow at making films, and may not get it done in time by New Year. It's known her sharp comments surprised Tony, but he doesn't want to offend his good friend nor wife, so he prepared some surprises to make Carina happy.

Tony returned HK recently and was photographed showing up at a jewelry store in Central. Tony didn't have time to pick the perfect gift that when the sales brought out a bracelet, he didn't look at the style closely and already told sales to wrap it. He didn't take 10 minutes to finish buying the gift. He had to go back to Beijing right away and it's believe he will have a short meeting with wife over there.

In fact, <一代宗师> held a press conference 8 years ago and Tony even went to learn Wing Chun from son of Ip Man, master of Wing Chun. However, many obstacles occurred. When the film finally started filming last year, Tony's left hand broke during practice and they had to delay filming. James Cameron took 10 years to finish Avatar, is Wong trying to break that record?
