Du Kefeng, the photographer of Empire in Leslie Cheung, why do you like to shoot the profile of Leslie Cheung best?

Du Kefeng was born in Sydney, Australia, and came from a traditional family of doctors. When he was about 20 years old, he decided to go to Hong Kong to study Chinese. Over time, he became fascinated with oriental culture. He began to like photography, and thought it was a wonderful magic. The camera in his hand was like a magic wand, which would modulate ordinary light and shadow into a special flavor and give the characters he photographed infinite charm. Forrest Gump's cooperation with Wong Kar-wai, a famous Hong Kong director, is the starting point of his magic.

Du Kefeng once admitted in the public media that among all the outstanding actors he has photographed, Leslie Cheung is the favorite among boys and Maggie Cheung is the favorite among girls. Shooting Forrest Gump in Wong Kar-wai was a very special experience. On the day of shooting, no one actually knew what his script looked like. The plot and bridge just grow in the subconscious of the creative characters, which slowly affects the shooting work. You can imitate the existing movie scenes, but on the one hand, you want to learn from the classic parts that can survive, but on the other hand, you want to throw them away completely and make them an original part.

Leslie Cheung, the classic soul of the whole movie, always stands in a perfect state of preparedness. Photographers and directors don't have to worry about whether his lines and manners are ready, because as long as he turns on the phone, he will be in that full state. Leslie Cheung's natural facial features are profound and exquisite. In Du Kefeng's mind, he is the most beautiful Asian man. Even if he sits in a dark room, he is light, which can produce different colors of light sources.

Leslie Cheung's "Invincible Profile" is a frozen picture, which can express an emotion without lines. Ke Feng is very good at telling stories with light. He can master every light source in the lens, and integrate it according to the atmosphere, style and texture of the film to show the truest soul.
