According to Info in the Schedule section (in Chinese), it was an umbrella separating the two in the poster.
Poor Tony was suffering from food poisoning that day, and directors continued shooting despite he was feeling so weak. No wonder he couldn't remember anything else except vomiting for the whole day.
Also, in the video ham posted, Zhou Xun said she walked Tony straight into a tree brunch, because she forgot Tony was suppose to be blind. Poor Tony saw it coming but had to walk into the tree - the tree brunch almost stabbed into his eye.

Food poisoning! (I read diarrhea) Wow, something got lost in the translation! That's not funny at all, poor guy! Think I'll go shoot myself. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

The poster certainly looks very beautiful, but Tony obviously had such a hard time on the day.
Tony's back shows some physical weakness which probably applicable for this poster.
Was that a reason for the director to be cruel ? (joking)
The story sounds very interesting.
I am looking forward to watching this one. |

Nice poster. What's that they are holding between them? An invisible suitcase? |

Pictures at link:
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/763521-tony-leung-chiu-wai-calls-playing-blind-hard/
The Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung directed, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Zhou Xun, Mavis Fan Hiu Huen and Wang Xuebing starred WIND SEEKER (TING FUNG JEH) yesterday held a wrap press conference in Shanghai.
Leung Chiu Wai in the film played someone with extrasensory power. Due to a childhood accident he lost his sight but gained exceptional hearing, which came in handy during the intelligence unit 701's tough rescue mission.
Wai Jai said that this film was the most difficult and the most challenging in his career. With his mesmerizing eyes Leung Chiu Wai in the film played the blind Bing. Leung Chiu Wai joked that playing "Blind Bing" was quite a challenge but unfortunately when he shot the scene in the poster he had food poisoning. As soon as he reached the set he began to vomit. After six times the director asked him, "Can you still work?" It was quite an abuse.
Although he played blind before in movies like SOUNDS OF COLOR (DEI HA TEET). Leung Chiu Wai was truly not used to it this time. He said, "Especially when this film was a collaboration with Zhou Xun. In an earlier film I had to watch her performance to react, but this time I was blind and my character couldn't see her. Perhaps I should say, I had to pretend I couldn't see, which was very tough. I was used to express my emotions with my eyes, but this time I had to think of other ways to express the character's emotions like body language and camera assistance. I wasn't used to that. In addition, I had action scenes as soon as the movie started and I was being chased. During the shot I wasn't sure whether my performance worked. At the time I just joined the team. I thought when I walked I didn't walk like someone blind. At the time I thought my mood was quite confused. I always thought my body language performance was very weak." _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

Thanks Jamaica for the article.

I think body language comes out naturally without thinking. Although Tony might think his performance was weak, as long as his feeling was real, it shoul turn out to be realistic. I am sure it is going to be more natural than calculated acting. We will see when we see the movie. |

It sort of sounds like Tony had more to say on the matter. I wish we got to hear all he said. Hopefully, if the performance was as compromised as Tony felt it was, the director shot as many takes as he needed, until Tony felt it went right. As long as his director gets Tony's best, he won't have anything to worry about (and neither will Tony). _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
