Cannes best actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai has brought out the big guns for his return to the singing arena. In The Mood For Love cohorts Wong Kar-wai, Maggie Cheung Man-yuk and art director William Chang Suk-ping all play big parts in the filming of the actor's music video for his first single, Tempt.

The nostalgic footage features a chance meeting between Cheung and Leung (left) on an antique bus in Shanghai. Besides playing Leung's love interest, Cheung also doubled as art director for the video, deciding on the clothes, makeup and setting for the video. Wong, who directed the video, plays a cameo in it as a passenger on the bus, while Chang, who vacated his usual art director's chair to Cheung, will be doing the editing. Leung, who dabbled in singing in the mid-90s, is scheduled to release the video and his Mandarin language album in Taiwan this month following the international success of In The Mood For Love.
