Currently in the mainland filming Mei Lanfang directed by Chen Kaige, Leon was reported by an online media of being absent from a charity concert in Wenzhou when a contract was signed, because Chen would not allow him to leave. The organizer was extremely dissatisfied and lodged a complaint. Leon's manager Joe Chan said, "I already know he can't leave when filming months ago. Did not answer to attend or signed a contract. The organizer is very clear about this."
