Chungking Express, 1994
One of the reasons Wong Kar-Wai got so big in the west is because of his use of music. California Dreaming is already such an iconic song, it’s hard to imagine it outside of its original context, and yet here it becomes completely part of the landscape. I think it adds dimension to both–- the song itself is kind of wistful, and so are the characters in this city.
Here’s the repeated refrain, the little moment that leads us from one story to the next. And what an intro to Tony Leung’s character! After watching him in In the Mood for Love as this suave, kind of depressed 50s businessman... seeing him play an everyman is kind of hilarious. He does a great job, honestly he completely transforms. He’s still ridiculously handsome but you do get the feeling that he’s just an ordinary kind of guy. 
I would say both male protagonists in this film are losers in their own unique way that actually makes them very endearing.

“Long Time No See”: Tony Leung, Faye Wong’s IG Reunion Has Fans Reminiscing About Chungking Express
We're all California Dreamin' now.
by Jonathan Fam
We so were not expecting this. Carina Lau set IG ablaze this afternoon (Oct 25) when she posted a photo of her husband Tony Leung with — wait for this — Faye Wong.
Her caption? A succinct and apt “Long time no see”.
If there’s anyone more low-key than Tony, it’s the enigmatic Faye.
The last time the 54-year-old pop diva was photographed in public was in April, when she was seen, um, roughing it out with other travellers on a crowded airport shuttle in China. Hardly glamorous stuff.
Faye is one of Carina’s closest pals and longtime mahjong kaki. Stories of their mahjong sessions are part of pop culture folklore, with Carina, 57, once saying in an interview that she can easily tell when Faye has a good or bad hand.
Tony, 61, and Faye have starred in three movies together: Chungking Express (1994), Chinese Odyssey 2002, and 2046 (2004).
Their pairing in Chungking Express — he as a lovesick beat cop, and she, a quirky snack bar worker — one of the most iconic in Asian cinema.
Fans, of course, took to comments section to rave about the meetup and share screengrabs of the stars in Chungking Express.
“I wanna cry. Eating chef’s salad and fish and chips to celebrate,” read one comment, an obvious reference to the items Tony’s character Cop 663 orders from Faye’s snack bar.
There were also references to 'California Dreamin'', the Mama and the Papas song that Faye's character listened to repeatedly in the movie.
Most netizens were excited to see Faye on Instagram, with a number of comments praising her for looking as gorgeous as ever.
We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely rewatching Chungking Express after this.

The release of this iconic photo instantly stirred up a frenzy among netizens, evoking nostalgic memories of their previous collaborations in films such as “Chungking Express” and “Chinese Odyssey.”
Wong appeared in a vibrant red top, paired with a denim jacket, exuding a sweet and enchanting aura. Her light makeup accentuated her rosy complexion, while her fresh and breezy short hair added to her overall elegance, earning her widespread praise as a true ageless goddess.

----------------------- 'I never thought the day would come': Netizens reminisce over Tony Leung and Faye Wong's reunion
By Syarifah Nadhirah Nearly two decades after their last movie together, Hong Kong veteran actor Tony Leung and Chinese diva Faye Wong have reunited.
Tony's wife, actress Carina Lau, uploaded a photo of the duo today (Oct 25) in a joint Instagram post with Tony.
The iconic reunion comes 19 years after 2046, the 2004 film Tony and Faye starred in together.
"Long time no see," wrote Carina with a heart emoji.
The pair could be seen standing close together, with Faye, 54, leaning her head towards Tony, 61.
Tony, as usual, had a slightly awkward smile.
Besides 2046, Tony and Faye also co-starred in the 1994 hit film Chungking Express and 2002 movie Chinese Odyssey 2002.
Netizens in the comment section reminisced about the past, with many bringing up Chungking Express where the pair played onscreen lovers.
"Chungking Express couple pairing… I looped the movie so many times because of you two" said one netizen.
"I never thought the day would come when I could see the two of you together!" commented another.
Another pleaded: "Please post more videos and photos. It's been a long time since I saw Faye."
Others remarked how Faye looked like she hasn't aged and that the two are "still elegant and charming."

Why is Faye Wong still the most fashionable diva today? She represents the golden years of 90s fashion (2022)
If there are no important matters, I will not see anyone~
Faye Wong has been living in the Mainland for the past several years and has rarely attended public events. But the mysterious goddess of fashion appeared a few days ago as the spokesperson for a lingerie brand's new advertisement . The 52-year-old wore a light yellow top with light makeup. She was praised by netizens for still being ethereal, elegant, and in good condition. As long as there is Faye Wong, any product can create an intellectual and refined sense of luxury. Let's review the refined style of this queen of an era.
Faye Wong: The fashion queen whose appearance is her advantage
Previously, I once wrote that Shirley Kwan was the "substance" fashionable female icon of the Chinese music industry and described Faye Wong as the "surface". This statement was misunderstood by readers who said that I did not appreciate the latter. Of course that's not true. I love listening to both these female singers, but their attitudes are indeed different. Faye Wong's style is mainly due to the collective efforts of beauty artists such as Titi Kwan and makeup artist Zing. She herself obviously makes it seem effortless. Furthermore her serene voice and a tall, thin body gives her innate advantages.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, anyone with eyes could see that Faye Wong (Wong Jing Man, also known as Shirley) who just came to Hong Kong from Beijing was 108,000 miles away from fashion [trends]. Her old-fashioned appearance and her background from the mainland were also disliked by her snobby manager Leslie Chan, who tried to sell her to Lo Ta-yu's Rock Records.
Fortunately, that snobby society taught this girl to grow rapidly. In Hong Kong, where opportunities were everywhere, she quickly found a good judge of talent in the golden manager Katie Chan, and changed her name back to Wong Fei. Although the Faye Wong of "A Woman Who is Easily Hurt" did not completely transform into a cool queen in terms of song and style. But at least the album cover of "Coming Home" consciously played with her Beijing identity.
I remember listening to the cassette tape of "The Most Exciting Concert" at home when I was a child. Although I wasn't really a fan of Faye Wong, it was indeed a refreshing experience. Before the age of 5 or 6, I may have only listened to nursery rhyme cassettes or songs on the radio. It is likely that Ah Fei was the first female singer that I consciously listened to. She was completely modern and free-spirited ("No More Games"), psychedelic ("Dream Person"), playful ("Lau Fei Fei" and "Exit"), depressed and distressed ("Chesspiece")… It took a few years before I saw the concert VCD. It turned out that the woman with the ethereal and beautiful voice looked so quirky in styles designed by Tomas Chan. The super long sleeves, dreadlocks, crystal tears makeup. Certainly not the kind of style that my aunt knew how to appreciate, but she would always recognize and sing along to "Thousands of Words"!
When watching "Chungking Express" again, William Chang styled her light and easy with short hair and a simple yellow tee. It highlights her unique neuroticness. Alas, with a small face, big watery eyes and also a tall, thin model figure (174cm!), navigating edgy fashion is naturally easy. I won't make a comparison and I may be in trouble with fans of Sammi, Kelly, and Sally, but the tastemakers in the 90s agreed that Faye Wong had a rare "avant-garde" fashion sense. It was indeed her innate condition that made her win.
90s: Her style represents the last "golden era" of music
In order to prevent readers from thinking that I am a snobby senior, I have to declare that the "golden years" I am speaking about here are not referring to good or bad songs in the music industry, but rather the market that was large and the production budgets that were indeed relatively generous, so Faye's fashion legend could be achieved.
When there is a super model that can sing and is in the prime of her life, if you are bold like Titi Kwan and makeup artist Zing, there is no reason not to put the most avant-garde Japanese, Belgian, and British fashion on Faye Wong. Marjan Pejoski's ostrich, Jeremy Scott's stilettos, Vivienne Westwood's miniskirts, Rochas by Olivier Theyskens' vintage and avant-garde evening wear all became her concert costumes. It could not be labeled as a fashion show, but it's a fashion show concert.
The look of her album covers were also amazing. In "Faye Wong 1997", she wore a Yohji Yamamoto 1997 F/W black and white harlequin coat, Alexander McQueen's trousers, and the zipper at the knee pulled down to reveal the black stockings inside. The sexy semi-sheer shirt and jeans in "Only Love Strangers" are from Helmut Lang; the Dior newspaper print dress by John Galliano and fishnet stockings in "Fable".
Titi Kwan and Zing have successfully maintained Ah Fei's coolness and added a bit of grandeur at her concerts. As long as the Heavenly Queen maintains her model figure, I believe that in another ten years, Fei will still be very fashionable.
Many people thought that CELINE invited her as a friend of the brand in the Phoebe Philo era. But in fact, Faye Wong was already affiliated with the brand as early as around 2005 during the Roberto Menichetti era. Fei, who is immortal, is truly well-deserving [of this affiliation] and could materialize the ethereal woman in Phoebe's heart into reality.
