Once the "four kings" of Hong Kong - Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok. Today, it seems that only Andy Lau is left.
On December 24, 2020, Andy Lau's "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" was released, and the box office directly crossed the threshold of 1 billion yuan, and the popularity and word of mouth were both harvested, so that Andy Lau's good popularity climbed to a new high.
Now, just a month later, Andy Lau's second new movie, "The Crowd", has also arrived.
But unlike the positive image in "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", first the explosion-proof police and then sacrificing themselves for the people, this time Andy Lau chose to play a negative image in "Surging Crowds" - a cold-blooded killer.
In fact, this is not the first time That Andy Lau has played a killer. But it is not as many people mistakenly believe that Andy Lau has played a lot of killers.
According to my search of the whole network, query more than 150 movies that Andy Lau has acted in, and make a statistic that is not incomplete -
"Surging Crowds" is the third time that Andy Lau has played a pure killer (not a negative character, such as a small gangster, a black boss, a fei and so on).
Fans who like Andy Lau have a sentence circulating in their mouths -
The killer movie played by Andy Lau is his most handsome and cool movie. For example, "The Killer's Fairy Tale" and "The Full-Time Killer". Of course, now you can also add "The Crowd".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Andy Lau's first act as a killer - "The Killer's Fairy Tale"</h1>
In 1994, the 33-year-old Andy Lau, after 10 years of film and television song and multi-habitat development, has become one of the four "kings" of Hong Kong.
Andy Lau, 10 years old, has also entered the show business circle for 3 years from the winner of miss Hong Kong and the winner of the most photogenic miss award. He also participated in the film "New Love" directed by Er Dongsheng, and won in one fell swoop-
Best Actress at the 13th Hong Kong Film Awards and Best Actress at the 1st Zhuhai Film Festival, China.
At this time, there were two unknown screenwriters and directors, Chen Jingyi and Zhou Zhenrong. "See the money eyes open", immediately grab Andy Lau and Yuan Yongyi, the two legitimate "red" people, and adopt the "1 + 1 is greater than 2" method -
Filming "The Killer's Fairy Tale", hoping to recreate a movie box office fairy tale (myth).
To put it simply, the movie is a killer named Gao Shou (Andy Lau) who accidentally lost his hand in a mission. Therefore, the killer organization he belongs to, according to the rules, assigns Ru Feng (Yuan Yongyi) to assassinate the loser Gao Shou, and the result is ——
These two killers, but you live and die and thunder and fire "love" each other.
As a result, after the release of the film, it failed at the box office. Some people say - what a screenwriter, this is. Let the male protagonist die can be touching.
Some people say that Yuan Yongyi was a professional killer as soon as she appeared, and the result was that it was the first time to kill people, and it was completely impossible to see what a genius killer was!
In particular, the most criticized thing is that the love of the two killers came inexplicably and absurdly.
Andy Lau in the movie in addition to playing handsome is pretending to be cool, almost nothing to act. Many people would not have looked at it at all if they didn't want to see Yuan Yongyi, a Miss Hong Kong, dressed as a killer.
Finally, there's a pretty big popcorn in this piece—
Yuan Yongyi just vomited, and immediately kissed Andy Lau again. Haha, I really don't know what it will taste like, it will not be the smell of the killer.
So, can you say that Andy Lau is a good killer?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Andy Lau's second act as a killer - "Full-time Killer"</h1>
In "Full-time Killer", Andy Lau said that as a killer, you must do not recognize the six relatives, because it is inevitable that one day you will kill people you know.
In fact, In fact, Andy Lau in the movie is like the previous movie "The Killer's Fairy Tale", while killing people while playing handsome, in addition to adding a self-selected project, while raising a gun while flirting with his sister.
Because, he felt, this was the thing he was most proud of.
Andy Lau played the killer Thor, originally an excellent shooter, with a great and brilliant future. But because of genetic diseases, he lost the gold medal. After that, he gradually degenerated into a professional killer in Hong Kong.
As a former athlete, although he changed careers, he still pursues honor because—
He kills not for money, but to pursue his place in the killer world.
At that time, Andy Lau and Du Qifeng could be described as a one-shot agreement on this film. Before the two bought the copyright of the original novel, they had already communicated, and they both felt that filming "Full-time Killer" had to be done, it was worth doing, and it must be done well.
Both felt that the novel was special and popular with young people, and the radio station also adapted the novel into a radio drama, which has attracted much attention before it was made into a movie. It's better to adapt a book that gets attention than to write a subject that no one knows about.
As a result, the script was quickly completed.
However, Du Qifeng was rushing to shoot several films of Xianghuaqiang China Star Company - "Lonely Man and Widow", "Hot Hand Rejuvenation" and "Zhong Wuyan". There are also and in the role of Andy Lau.
As a result, "Full-Time Killer" was delayed again and again. Although Andy Lau is still a producer, there is no way to take Du Qifeng.
The story of the film is simply that two hostile professional killers, Thor and O, fight for their beloved and live for fame.
To put it more complicated, it is the two strongest full-time killers in Asia, after several fierce battles, they are finally met on the death line, and only one person can live.
Andy Lau's killer Thor, who suffers from a congenital inherited brain disease, will spit white foam when he sees the flash, and regards killing as an art.
His opponent, the killer O, played by Japanese actor Takashi Inomachi, is a self-contained cage. Train yourself as a killing machine and see killing as a kind of work.
Like other movies, Andy Lau is still desperate in "Full-Time Killer".
A scene in which Andy Lau was chased and killed and jumped off the rail to escape, he still insisted on not using a stand-in, jumping off the track without any safety measures, standing in the gap between the platform and the train, letting the subway speed speed past...
In another gun-drawing scene, when Andy Lau pulled out a pistol from the back pocket of his leather pants, the pistol suddenly went off fire.
Although the gun was only an empty shell, Andy Lau's pants pocket was still beaten, and the only fortunate thing was that his ass did not blossom. Because the situation was very funny, Andy Lau himself was there laughing non-stop.
You say, Andy Lau played the killer like this, can he be regarded as a good killer?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Andy Lau's third act as a killer - "Crowds"</h1>
Fast forward to February 12, 2021, and Andy Lau, who is already 60 years old, will play the killer again. Together with 40-year-old Xiao Yang and 38-year-old Wan Qian, they starred in the crime comedy movie "Surging Crowds".
Andy Lau, in the film, played a top cold-blooded killer named Zhou Quan.
This time, Andy Lau did not play handsome, did not pretend to be cool, and did not flirt with his sister. But a very absurd and joking decision was made —
And a small mass actor Chen Xiaomeng (Xiao Yang), whose life has been forced and has been unhappy for many years, exchanged identities in an accident and lived a different life.
And the absurdity that the two have experienced together, there are jokes, and there is even more blood boiling.
In the trailer issued earlier, Li, played by Wan Qian, wants to use the wine to say to the killer Zhou Quan (Andy Lau) -
"You're so good."
People can't help but wonder where the relationship between the two is going in the film, is it true that Andy Lau wants to seduce his sister again?
If Andy Lau is killing people while pimping his sister, can he still be a good killer?
I really doubt it again.
However, the expression in the film "trying to live your own life", "trying to find your own blood", and "trying to cherish the Ta around you" makes people's blood boil with passion.
Thus, with the help of two interchangeable identities to complete the exploration of their respective life values of the "little people", take each of us ordinary people to achieve the real "cattle to dry".
So, in 2021, are you ready to change your way of life, "cattle turn to dry"?
So, do you guess that Andy Lau can become a good "killer" who breaks through his own history in "Surging Crowds" this time?
No nonsense, let's wait and see on February 12, the first day of the Chinese New Year, change the way of life, "cattle turn dry"!
Pay attention to @Xia said that he eats melon every day...
