Leaving Me Loving You – 2004 Promo Photos

Here are some photos from a 3 March 2004 press conference to promote Leaving Me Loving You (大城小事, Big City Minor Matter), released 12 Feb 2004. Faye Wong (王菲) and Leon Lai (黎明 Lai Ming) starred in this visually stunning romantic comedy. I’ve seen photos and videos from this session, but never these particular shots, which I found at ent.sina.com. At the bottom, I’ve also added some links to related videos. Click on the images to zoom in.

Faye’s Walk – Sexiest on the Planet

No one can walk like Faye Wong. Here’s a clip from her 2004 film, Leaving Me Loving You (大城小事 , Big City Minor Matter, rel 12 Feb 2004). [7.12.08: This video is no longer available on YouTube. I’ll add a replacement when I find one.] In the first 03:10 of this 4.5-minute segment, the camera zeroes in on Faye. There are brief cuts to other scenes, but the focus is Faye, and more specifically, the way she walks. She’s probably one of the few actors in the world who can carry a scene this long by just

walking. In a tight skirt and heels, Faye demonstrates why and how she can literally carry a film by just being there. She does the same for Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046 (rel 9 Sep 2004). This is my favorite scene in the entire film.
