On September 27, 1961, in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong, a baby boy fell to the ground, which was the male head of the household, Liu Li, who finally ushered in his first son after giving birth to three daughters in a row, so he named him Andy Lau. The boy had changed his name to Liu Furong when he was in elementary school, until he changed back to his name at birth after junior high school. Who would have thought that this boy would grow into a generation of legends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In 1998, Andy Lau personally filled in a song called "Stupid Child", and the song recorded his growth trajectory along the way in a realistic way. 6 years later, the popular king who has been famous in Xiangjiang has once again produced a song reminiscing about his acting career in a realistic way - "17 Years Old".
In the song "Stupid Child" in 1998, the star who was already one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Hong Kong music scene at that time called himself a "stupid child", although in the decades of Andy Lau's debut, he questioned his voice of "acting is not as good as Leung Chaowei, singing is not as good as Jacky Cheung, dancing is not as good as Aaron Kwok, and looks like dawn" is endless, but it is this "stupid child" who has used his decades of diligence and hard work to live himself into a long red king who has surpassed many top stars in the music world and film industry.
Next, let's listen to the song "Stupid Child" sung by Andy Lau.
"Oh ~ outside the quiet village, there is a stupid child, born in the Lu Zero. When I went to the city as a teenager, I was not afraid of the sun, and I worked hard in the seven zeros to find that in the city, my friends did not have to go to irrigation, and the flowers would naturally bloom." In the 1960s, Tai Po in the New Territories of Hong Kong was still a small village, and Andy Lau was born. As a teenager, I came to the city to work hard, day and night regardless of the wind and the sun. But stupid children find that the children in the city are so happy that they can eat and clothe without much effort.
"Oh ~ so fast in the blink of an eye, this stupid child, it is the zero age again, thirty years old is not good or bad, after the nine zero years." The most helpless of his own, always slow people to shoot, no money in that pocket." The days passed quickly, the stupid child immediately entered the 80s, after unremitting efforts, although there was the experience of being "hidden in the snow for 400 days" in the middle, it gradually gained a foothold in the music and film world. After entering the 90s, stupid children found themselves doing things always slower than others, watching others open a film company and following the trend themselves, the result was that the same people did not have the same life, others made money but lost money, and finally became in debt.
"Oh, pat yourself on the chest, stand up bravely, don't be in too bad a mood." Oh, bow to the sky, don't think about it, God has its own arrangements. Oh ~ they say that in the city, men are not bad women do not love, how to think about it do not understand, mother said that true love, will love very wonderfully, as a result I do not have a girl. The stupid child is still as strong as a stone, but lonely at night. Oh, pat it on the chest, stand up bravely, and let it go to the sea. Oh, bow to the sky, don't think about it, God has its own arrangements, God loves stupid children." Although I have experienced the tragic experience of losing money by opening a film company, I still have to stand up and face it bravely, comb my mood and smile at every day, don't think about it, everything in the dark has its own providence. At that time, girls liked the kind of boys who were bad and bad, and people like me who were serious and honest were not popular with girls. My mother patiently told me that as long as you treat people sincerely, God will not treat you badly, but I still don't have a girl's favor. The stupid child still adheres to his own style of doing things, although it is a little lonely at night. Pat your chest, sort out your tired spirit, and bravely face the situation in front of you, there is no obstacle that cannot be passed, because the heavenly path rewards diligence and the heavenly reward goodness.
When writing this song, Andy Lau lost 40 million yuan for opening Tianmu Film Company, and in desperation, he found Chen Lan (Xiang Tai), the boss of China Star Film Company at that time. Based on the recognition of Hua Tsai's character and popularity, Chen Lan wrote a check for 40 million yuan for Hua Tsai without saying a word and did not let Hua Tsai write an IOU, which made Hua Tsai full of gratitude. "People are good and do not cheat" is Hua Tsai's creed, he did not give up on himself, the second is to work harder, constantly pick up films, records, open concerts, although Hong Kong suffered a financial crisis before and after 97, but Andy Lau's financial situation around 98 years ago has been greatly improved, but also in difficulties to help Zhang Weijian, who also fell into crisis. Finally, around 2000, Hua Tsai finally paid off the arrears and handled the lawsuit dispute of Tianmu Film Company almost completely, and was awarded the Hong Kong Golden Statue Film Emperor for the first time that year, gradually ushering in a series of highlight moments in the film industry. The "stupid child" finally flew higher and higher, and slowly became the mainstay of the Hong Kong film industry and a national idol loved by people.
In fact, Hua Tsai's growth history is an inspirational film, the talent is not high, he through his own disdainful efforts, diligent practice of internal skills, to obtain the music king and the film industry "three gold" film emperor of the good achievements, to countless ordinary people to illuminate the way ahead. "Stupid kid" is actually not stupid at all, you are the brightest boy in this entertainment industry. Forty years on, thank you, "stupid kid."
Think what you think, tell your heart. I am the song we have heard together in those years, and I hope that your efforts will resonate with you!
