Carina Lau is happy as it is
22 May – In "Bends", Carina Lau played an upper class socialite learning class and cultural differences through a mainland driver, but the actress joked that in truth, she only belonged to the upper middle class and is happy to be where she's at.
As reported on HK Top Ten, at the Cannes press conference for her new movie, "Bends", Carina stressed, "Happiness is not measured with money. Happiness is for you to find in life, to see how you face life and your bliss."
Using her own examples, she shared, "When we're at home, (Tony) Leung Chiu-Wai concentrates on his model building and Wing Chun training, while I am busy with bills and chores. Yet I am still very happy. I don't want to keep an eye on my husband. I only want to help him achieve."
Meanwhile, when speaking of the growing conflict between China and Hong Kong, the 47-year-old expressed, "We live on the same earth, so everyone should co-exist peacefully. We shouldn't create deliberate conflict. We would have conflict, which is understandable but we should think about the premise first and shouldn't blow up the matter too much."
Carina also praised new director Flora Lau Wan Man for not adding controversial scenes to commercialize the film and persisted with her original idea.
"She has won my respect," the actress enthused.
When asked if they are anticipating good box office results when the movie is released back home, producer Shi Nansun pointed out, "Bends is an art film. It had no box office pressure."
