2022-01-16 08:02
Due to the slow progress of the filming of "Ashes of Time", in order to catch up with the film dealer's schedule, the original crew had to rush to shoot the New Year's Eve film "East and West". The shooting of "East City, West Side" gave Wong Kar-wai time to sit down and reconsider. He found that Leslie Cheung's role as "Dongxie" would not surprise the audience too much, because before Leslie Cheung had been very chic and suave in "A Fei's True Story", playing "Dongxie" again can only be a continuation, and the character of Xidu's character It belongs to "inferiority complex, do not want to be hurt", which Leslie Cheung has not tried and can be challenged. So Leslie Cheung played the role of "Western Drug" Ouyang Feng. During the role change, Wang Zuxian's scenes were cut a lot, and her rival scenes and intimate scenes with Leslie Cheung were all abandoned.
