Andy Lau's new film "Mr. Red Carpet" will be released nationwide on February 10, 2024 (the first day of the Lunar New Year), which once again aroused the audience's attention to this king-level movie star. This elegant comedy film directed by Ning Hao and written by Liu Xiaodan and Wang Ang not only shows the various beings in the entertainment industry, but also digs deep into the complexity and absurdity of human nature.
"Mr. Red Carpet" features Hong Kong superstar Lau Wai Chi as the protagonist, telling the story of the actor who has been in the film for 40 years and cooperated with director Lin Hao to shoot rural films in order to win the honor of a new actor. Liu Weichi in the film, for the needs of the role, did not hesitate to move from the five-star hotel to the three-star hotel, trying to experience the life of a farmer. However, in his eyes, farmers can live in a three-star hotel every day, which is undoubtedly an absurd interpretation of peasant life.
In the film, Andy Lau vividly shows the complex psychology of the role of Lau Weichi through his superb acting skills. He longs for affirmation and fears losing his current position; I want to experience real life, but I can't get rid of the aura of stardom. This kind of contradiction and struggle is not only reflected in the role of Liu Weichi, but also reflects the dilemma of many people in real life when facing fame, fortune and true self.
In addition to Andy Lau's outstanding performance, the other actors in the film also have good performances. The wonderful performances of Ruima Xidan, Shan Liwen, Lin Xilei, Zhou Wei, Liu Yilin and others added a lot to the film. Especially the rivalry between Rhema Sidan and Andy Lau is even more impressive.
The comedic element in the film is also worth mentioning. Director Ning Hao, with his unique humorous style, presents the absurdity and chaos of the entertainment industry in a humorous and witty way, making the audience think in laughter. For example, Liu Weichi's embarrassing performance at the award ceremony not only shows the hypocrisy and fame and fortune in the entertainment industry, but also gives people a deeper understanding of human nature.
However, "Mr. Red Carpet" is not just a movie that reveals the inside story of the entertainment industry, it is also a work of human nature. Through Liu Weichi's perspective, the film shows the incomprehensibility and inability to communicate between people. This inability to communicate is reflected not only in the communication barriers between Liu Weichi and the director and actors, but also in the estrangement between him and his family and friends. This kind of estrangement makes people laugh and think about the relationship and communication between people.
Overall, "Mr. Red Carpet" is a movie that is both entertaining and in-depth. It not only allows the audience to appreciate Andy Lau's superb acting skills, but also triggers people's thinking about the entertainment industry, human nature and interpersonal relationships. Such works are undoubtedly worthy of our ** and taste.
