Nevertheless, for more than ten years, Wong Karwai has had two partners working with him all along: actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Liang Chaowei) and the photographer Chris Doyle (Du Kefeng). Tony Leung's first cooperation with Wong Karwai was during Wong's shooting of Days of Being Wild.

Leung says before that, he seemed to lose his interest in acting and it was hard for him to find any progress. However, Wong Karwai had the ability to help Leung exert his potentials.

Leung says that Wong Karwai is a very talented director who treats every actor very well. He is able to find those unique characteristics in every actor that they are even not aware of. He is the kind of director that gives the actors lots of space to act instead of only making them listen to him.

Wong says making films is like driving a train ahead. Everyone on the train loves film and has their dreams in it. Every film is like a train station. At every stop people come and go; however, what they believe is wherever the train goes. It will go its route and the journey will be a happy one.

Wong Karwai, Awards' cosset

The reason why many people wish to be a director is that it is the chance to realize their dreams in the movies. We've been so devoted to the job and to films because in a film we can relate things from years ago to now in only thirty seconds. That's the magic of films. - Wong Karwai.

The magic of Wong Karwai is that whatever movie he makes, he always receive wide recognitions. The awards he has got are the proofs.

In 1990 after the worldwide success of As Tears Go By, Wong Karwai's second movie Days of Being Wild won many of the year's Hong Kong Film awards, including the awards for the best film, the best director, and the best actor. It was a boost for Wong's career.
