How to evaluate Andy Lau's claim that the role of Leslie Cheung was originally his?

Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung were artists of the same period, but their routes were completely different. His brother's departure has made him a god in many people's hearts, but we have to say that he is also an ordinary person, including Andy Lau, and Andy Lau, one of the four great kings, is also an ordinary person, and sometimes things go wrong. For example, Andy Lau missed the classic movie "Spring is Suddenly Released" starring Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu Wai!

Later, director Wong Kar-wai and Andy Lau explained that he felt it was risky to use Andy Lau at that time and finally chose Leslie Cheung. Andy Lau was a little dissatisfied with the director's explanation. Andy Lau said that the director must find a good position for Andy Lau in the future! It's cute to compete secretly, but it's really not shameful to lose to Leslie Cheung, because Leslie Cheung is really excellent!

In the program, Andy Lau and the host Lu Yu discussed that "a good actor should be competent for any role" and mentioned that "I played Spring Break by Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Leslie Cheung, and it should be Leslie Cheung's role". The host asked him why he missed the role. He said: "I finally signed the contract, so I told him that I wanted to sign the contract, and I didn't know it was me until I opened it." But at that time, Andy Lau was not very frustrated. He said, "The only thing I told myself at that time was that he lost an opportunity to find a good place in Andy Lau." I'm not only worried about myself, but also don't know what I'm doing when I'm making a Wong Kar-wai movie. Zhang Yimou once mentioned in an interview that Tony Leung Chiu Wai once told him: Originally, I played evil in Ashes of Time, but I finally cut it and became Du Fu. Zhang Yimou is the representative of the fifth generation directors in China. He commented that Wong Kar-wai is a talented director, and he works hard. Stupid birds fly first.
