Andy Lau on New Year's Eve is a little distressing.
In fact, this schedule is a grand scene for Andy, because there is a good show of "Andy Lau vs. Andy Lau" in the theater, which makes people seem to return to the ** era of Hong Kong films.
Over the past 40 years, Andy Lau has always maintained a sincere and humble attitude and a persistent and dedicated spirit towards movies.
In "Stealth", he has multiple identities, not only the starring role, but also participated in the script creation and served as the producer of the film.
Today, when Hong Kong films are in decline, Andy Lau adheres to the original awe of Hong Kong films, sharpens his sword for three years, and wants to light a fire for Hong Kong films through hard work, and take advantage of the New Year's Eve to make Hong Kong films re-recognized by everyone.
Based on this,Andy Lau almost became the "most ruthless producer" on the set.
He has high standards and strict requirements, not only requiring the actors to show the most accurate state of the role, but also the speed of camera movement, the angle of the lights and even the placement of props, Andy Lau must achieve accurate control and excellence.
In fact, Andy Lau knows that he is such a "detail maniac" and his strict requirements are very "annoying", but he also knows that only by using the strict requirements in the process can he produce a good film and be worthy of the audience who buys tickets to watch the movie.
During the filming, no matter whether he has a scene that day or not, Andy Lau will come to the set to "supervise the battle". He polishes the details with the director, again and again until he is satisfied, and if he encounters an unsatisfactory performance, he will also pull the actor to the camera to discuss whether there is a better way to perform.
In order to make the actors feel better, Andy Lau often "uses his hands as guns", demonstrates their positioning, and tells them how to perform such a scene to be more infectious.
You must know that Andy Lau, who is so dedicated, is 62 years old.
He doesn't know how long he can work in the film industry, but his feelings for Hong Kong films and Chinese films are always as hot as fire.
Andy Lau said that because he really loves it, he hopes that he can make movies until he is 90 years old.
However, after filming "Sneaking" this time, he was a little helpless.
The current market is far from being as simple as before.
A good movie may not have an audience, or it may be due to other factors that cause the box office to be unsatisfactory. Although it has been carefully grinding for three years, the gains of "Sneaking" are obviously not proportional, which makes Andy Lau feel a little powerless.
In fact, no matter what aspect, Andy Lau treats "Sneaking" like his own children.
He is the most diligent superstar in the entire New Year's Eve roadshow, and he must come to every roadshow.
He still maintains his humble and amiable character, and in the process of roadshows with other Hong Kong movie stars, although the schedule is tight and the rush is hard, he still faces the audience with the fullest emotions.
There was a roadshow because there were too many audiences, the audience in front couldn't squeeze in, and the audience in the back couldn't see Andy Lau himself, and many fans brought bouquets for Andy, but they couldn't hand them to him.
Seeing this scene, Andy Lau climbed over the railing to pick up the flowers of the fans without saying a word, and took the bouquets in the hands of all the fans with flowers one by one, and shook hands with them warmly.
For the audience who couldn't interact, Andy Lau also urgently organized an "assembly line" to receive flowers and took the initiative to appease the emotions of fans in the back row.
Moreover, we all know that Andy Lau, who values love and righteousness, has always taken care of old friends and likes to bring newcomers.
When he makes movies, he always brings his good brother Lin Jiadong;As soon as there is a script, he always sends it to his old partners Qian Jiale and Jiang Haowen as soon as possible, although they are not as famous as himself, Andy will always take them to work together.
In this "Sneaking", there are many newcomer actors. In the roadshow, Andy Lau still pushed every newcomer actor to the stage.
Like the inheritance of the anti-narcotics police in "Stealth", this also contains the spirit of inheritance among Hong Kong filmmakers.
There has always been a saying in the domestic film and television circle:One idol a year, Andy Lau for a hundred years.
Andy Lau's name is earned by real gains, and his feelings for movies are also really sincere.
In this crew, there are four emperors and one queen, Andy Lau , Lin Jiadong , Ren Dahua and Zheng Zeshi , all of whom are real gold ** Hong Kong Golden Statue actors, as well as the new actress Liu Yase, who won a total of 10 Golden Image trophies.
It can be said that the movie "Sneaking" is a well-deserved "actor and actress team building project", the quality is trustworthy, and the audience who has seen it has said that it is good, and the evaluation is very high.
Judging from this New Year's Eve file, it has to be Andy Lau who supports Hong Kong films. Whether it was 20 years ago or now, he is the pillar of Hong Kong films.
At this moment, Andy Lau may need our support and help. The first move in 2024 comes from Andy Lau and conscientious Hong Kong filmmakers, these creators have made such a sincere work, which is also worthy of our support in the theater.
The spark of Hong Kong films is still there, as long as we work together, Hong Kong films will not die.
This time, for Andy Lau, for Hong Kong films, and for ourselves.
