| Leon was invited to be the honorary ambassador of this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival. As the host, he treated Rena Tanaka and director Yukisada Isao etc to dinner the night before. After the dinner, reporters requested Leon to take a photograph with Rena Tanaka and Leon agreed graciously and he stopped to wait. However, as Rena Tanaka's English was not good and her translator did not help to translate, she just left without even saying goodbye. Everyone who was present felt awkward. However, Leon still helped to say good words for this guest, pointing out that maybe she was too tired. Asked whether he had discussed cooperation plans with the director, he smiled and said that it was only a dinner, and work was not discussed. Asked about her impression of Leon, Rena Tanaka said that he was very friendly, "He supported my film very much and gave me a lot of encouragement. I hope to have a chance to work with him in the future." |
