TVB's star-making ability was once extremely powerful, and it has cultivated many big Hong Kong stars, especially the five representative "Wireless Five Tigers". Although they have been working together for a short time, they have become household names after "flying solo", the most well-known of which are Andy Lau and Tony Leung. Since the collaboration on the movie "Five Tigers Break Up", the five have never been able to get together again, and rumors about their discord have been coming and going.
Recently, we were fortunate to witness the reunion of the "Wireless Five Tigers", but it is a pity that there is another "four missing one", missing Tang Zhenye. It can be seen from ** that this is a group photo of Chow Yun-fat, Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei when they visited the movie "Goldfinger". Obviously, this ** was released to cooperate with the promotion of the movie.
The filmmaker also released a visit to the class two years ago**, focusing on the deep friendship between Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau for more than 40 years. When the two met, they were full of enthusiasm, and when Chow Yun-fat raised his mobile phone**, he found that Andy Lau was inconspicuous in the picture, so he intimately reminded him to stand taller.
In the photo of the "Four Tigers" and Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung's position is quite subtle. He seemed to have been dragged in for a picture with the others, standing at the very edge, his hands behind his back, and his smile a little reluctant. The other three people in the same row were all right next to each other. In other group photos, Tony Leung did keep a certain distance from the "other three tigers", and Andy Lau put his hand on Huang Rihua's shoulder.
After carefully observing this period of visits, it is not difficult to find that Chow Yun-fat, Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei came mainly to reunite with Andy Lau this time, and did not interact much with Tony Leung.
Why did these three people come to visit the class together?It turned out that Chow Yun-fat, Miao Qiaowei and Huang Rihua had a very good relationship in private, they often met and climbed mountains together, and Andy Lau also maintained a good relationship with them.
So, why did Tony Leung seem a little "unwelcome" in this gathering?This may have something to do with his character. Tony Leung is an introvert who is not good at socializing and socializing, so he does not have many friends in the circle. He is more inclined to immerse himself in his own world, and has frequent contacts with his friends Zhong Zhentao, Du Dewei, Jacky Cheung, Shangshan Sina and others. Not long ago, he also attended Jacky Cheung's concert with Carina Lau, Zhong Zhentao and others.
Judging from the intersection of him and the other four, their relationship can only be regarded as "general friendship", and most of the intersection is because of co-starring in film and television works. Except for "Five Tigers Will Break Up", he has no other cooperation with the four. "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance" released in 2007, due to Tony Leung's absence, finally formed a situation of "five tigers will be four missing one".
Although Andy Lau and Tony Leung have collaborated many times, the relationship between the two seems to be only at the work level. In 2015, the "Five Tiger Generals" had a situation of "four missing one". At that time, it was the 25th wedding anniversary of Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen, and Andy Lau, Huang Rihua, and Tang Zhenye all attended the celebration, but Tony Leung was missing. When Huang Rihua's beloved wife died of illness in 2020, Andy Lau and his wife, Miao Qiaowei and his wife came to mourn, but Tony Leung did not attend, and did not even send a wreath.
Through the above intersection examples, it can be seen that Andy Lau, Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei have the closest relationship. Tong Zhenye also has a good relationship with them, and Tony Leung seems to have maintained a colleague relationship with them all the time.
To sum up, the relationship between the "Wireless Five Tigers" is actually not as tense as rumored to be. The differences between them are more due to personality than to the so-called "break". Regarding the rumors that "Tony Leung was a traitor and caused the five to break up", in fact, it had been clarified as early as Huang Rihua's interview. They did not agree not to renew the contract with TVB, but they discussed the matter but did not reach an agreement. In fact, Huang Rihua is the "traitor", he is the first person to renew his contract with TVB.
In fact, the "Wireless Five Tigers" was not a formal group at first, but the five of them performed acrobatics together on the stage of "Happy Tonight". The boss casually gave them a "team name". So it's understandable that their relationship has developed like this now.
