When effort becomes habit
How self-disciplined is Andy Lau? Wang Jing broke the news:
"Andy Lau hasn't eaten white rice in 10 years!"
There were rumors that Andy Lau had debuted for more than 30 years, and his weight had always remained about 63 kilograms, which has never changed.
To control his weight, he has strict rules about recipes!
Once, when Lu Yu interviewed him.
Andy Lau told Lu Yu that he has been vegetarian for 6 years.
The purpose of being vegetarian is not only to maintain a figure, but to cooperate with a wife who has been vegetarian for many years.
In addition to diet, Andy Lau has also formulated a strict schedule.
Exercise on time at 6 a.m. every day, and complete basic exercises such as leg presses and stretching.
An actor once revealed that sometimes filming until midnight, everyone in the crew was sleepy and napping, only Andy Lau was still stretching his spirits.
Many actors think they have worked hard enough, until they see Andy Lau.
So much so that over the years, Hua Tsai has become a role model for insiders.
In his body, you can always feel the convincing spirit, which is carved into his bones.
It wasn't until later that he told us that when hard work becomes a habit, anything can be done successfully.
The meaning of this phrase is: any achievement does not happen overnight, but needs to be honed over decades...
When Hua Tsai first debuted, the Hong Kong film and television industry was already full of superstars, and it seemed that there was no place for him.
In order to gain a place in this circle, he worked harder than anyone.
Filming on the set, the director asked everyone to start work at eight o'clock, and Andy Lau arrived at six o'clock.
After arriving, without saying a word, he immediately got to work.
The habit of arriving early has been maintained for twenty or thirty years.
When filming "No Thieves in the World", the director asked everyone to start filming at ten o'clock, and the other actors arrived at ten o'clock, only he arrived at nine o'clock, began to make up and prepare, and when other actors arrived, he had already entered the state.
Not only filming, but also in life.
As long as you make an appointment with others, he must be the one who arrives early, and this kind of sincere attitude towards others makes Hua Tsai's friends around him deeply understand.
Therefore, the seniors and friends who have been with him can't help but praise him.
Make up for talent with effort
"Andy Lau doesn't have much talent."
When he first debuted, he was even disliked by many seniors, thinking that he had no future in the future.
Wang Jing's father, Wang Tianlin, once wrote in a book:
"The actor I am more optimistic about is Tony Leung, put Tony Leung and Andy Lau together, I will definitely choose Tony Leung, because Wei Tsai is a natural actor, and Hua Tsai has no talent. Later, Hua Tsai will become popular, which is completely unexpected to me, but calm down and think about it, it is not surprising, maybe put Andy Lau in any field, he will succeed, because he works too hard..."
Because he loves singing, Andy Lau signed a contract with Yi Nengdong Record Company after graduating from the wireless artist training class, and as a result, every song recorded was unattended.
The company was extremely disappointed with Andy Lau, and at this time, Lin Zixiang noticed him.
At that time, Lin Zixiang was already a big coffee, and Andy Lau was still his dance partner on stage, and it was precisely because he saw Andy Lau's efforts and love that Lin Zixiang was willing to teach him to sing hand in hand.
In this way, he sang better and better, and ten years of tempering allowed Andy Lau to finally squeeze into the Hong Kong music scene.
In 1990, Andy Lau instantly became popular in Southeast Asia with his album "Can You Be".
The album "Love Is Inexhaustible" released the following year sold a staggering 160,000 copies a day.
In the years since, Andy Lau has become a label in the Hong Kong music scene.
But to this day, he remains humble.
During the interview, Lu Yu asked him: Your status is already so high, and there are also programs in the mainland looking for you to be a mentor, why are you not willing to participate?
Andy Lau said, "I don't dare, I haven't reached the level of a mentor yet, why should I comment on others?" ”
Therefore, Andy Lau loves singing, and this love is not mixed with any utilitarianism, and it is extremely pure.
When many singers dream of standing at the top of the Chinese music scene, I am afraid that only Andy Lau will say: "I want to sing all my life..."
Dedication is an essential quality of an actor
Andy Lau collapsed at one point when filming "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party".
Looking at the actress who played with him, he actually used eye drops to tear up, and his whole person was confused.
Things that left him speechless happened many times.
At the filming scene of the movie "Orphaned", he and all the group actors squatted on the ground to eat a box lunch, but at this time, a small fresh meat was furious in public, roaring, "Is this box of lunch for people to eat?" Don't even have a seat to eat? ”
After speaking, he threw the box lunch to the ground, Andy Lau silently walked over and picked up the box lunch on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the little fresh meat on the side instantly blushed.
And in the next time, Andy Lau demonstrated to these little fresh meats with actions: What is a real actor?
There was a scene where the group acting eldest sister slapped him.
At the beginning, the group acting eldest sister couldn't get down at all.
Andy Lau gently comforted the eldest sister, which made this scene particularly vivid, and the director on the side couldn't bear it when he saw this scene, but Andy Lau always kept smiling.
He felt that his skin was not dark enough, so he ran to Malaysia to bask in the sun for a week.
Zhang Yimou once said that Andy Lau could not play a farmer, and Andy Lau directly turned himself into a farmer image.
And any expression in the film reveals the bitterness of the character.
Later, the movie exploded, and many people thought that Andy Lau got a good salary.
In fact, at that time, he starred in zero pay, and even took out funds to join the group, in order to let more people pay attention to the fight against trafficking through the film.
In 2021, "Crowds" starring Andy Lau will be released and won unanimous praise from the audience.
If you have seen his filming tidbits, I believe you will be moved.
At that time, in order to present the most perfect shot, he was poured with cold water six times in a row, and the temperature that day was only minus five degrees.
Finally finished filming, the venue attendant came over and said sorry, and he smiled and comforted the other party.
There was a scene that required Xiao Yang to hit him, and Andy Lau slapped Xiao Yang three times.
In order not to make Xiao Yang feel guilty, as soon as the director shouted cut, he immediately smiled and said to Xiao Yang that I was fine.
During the filming of a scene of being beaten, Hua Tsai was beaten eight times.
But as soon as he finished, his first words were: I'm fine.
Many directors have admitted that they invited Andy Lau not only because he would act with high popularity.
The more important reason is that he is dedicated, as long as the director wants to present the effect, Andy Lau will always spend a lot of thought to ponder.
It's also a habit he's developed over the years.
When I first stepped into the entertainment industry, many actors thought about how to play a little more.
But Andy Lau is different, he can do what the director wants him to do.
You can sacrifice for a work, there is no excuse, when everyone else thinks how much effort they have put in, only Hua Tsai is desperate.
The most touching thing was the charity performance of the East China flood in 91.
Andy Lau raised one million, directly performed a chest crushing stone, a hammer smashed his chest, smashed four hammers in succession, and the stone slab finally cracked.
But when Andy Lau barely stood up, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the audience was frightened.
Andy Lau smiled and said: This is that blood is thicker than water.
Such a move is almost impossible to see in today's entertainment industry, and it is precisely because of this that Andy Lau's spirit is even more valuable!
Artists who have helped
Andy Lau's help to Lin Jiadong made him remember for a lifetime, and Lin Jiadong said: I am willing to spend half my life to repay Hua Tsai's kindness.
In 2001, the contract between Lin Jiadong and TVB expired. At that time, he was not much famous, even if he participated in many film and television dramas.
But without wireless, the future is bleak.
Just when he was extremely depressed, Wan Ziliang introduced him to Andy Lau's newly established film and television company. But later, because Andy Lau and his partner had a conflict, Hua Tsai was kicked out of the company, and the artists who used to follow him left one after another, and only Lin Jiadong accompanied him.
Since then, the two have been like brothers, and Andy Lau will take Lin Jiadong with him if he has any opportunity to perform.
It is precisely because of Andy Lau's help that Lin Jiadong has more opportunities.
Later, Lin Jiadong confessed many times that he would treat Hua Tsai as a lifelong benefactor.
At that time, Zhang Hanyun had just become famous, and once went to a press conference, Andy Lau was also present.
All the cameras were all focused on Andy Lau at once, and the cramped and restless Zhang Hanyun could only hide in the corner.
Seeing this, Andy Lau took the initiative to walk to her side to take a group photo, and the camera was also aimed at Zhang Hanyun.
Unexpectedly, it was this time to take a group photo, and the outside world actually began to circulate their scandals, and Zhang Hanyun couldn't argue with a hundred words.
It wasn't until later that she broke all her labels, terminated her contract with the company, and constantly challenged herself.
Being a host, standing on the stage again, and even stepping on the path of actor.
And all thanks to Andy Lau.
It turned out that Andy Lau not only relieved her embarrassment, but also constantly encouraged Zhang Hanyun and said to her: "You have such good talent and qualifications, why don't you try other ways?" ”
Hearing these words, Zhang Hanyun suddenly opened up, and after going back, he began to prepare for the exam.
Andy Lau was very relieved when he heard it, and also helped her.
In 2011, Zhang Hanyun successfully entered the Chinese opera, and Andy Lau promoted her.
also specially created a movie for her called "First Love Is Not Full", and later introduced a lot of job opportunities to her.
Now ten years later, it has been proved that Andy Lau is not mistaken.
And Andy Lau's kindness to herself, Zhang Hanyun also remembered, she can never forget the warm eyes at the press conference.
Zhang Weijian experienced a period of ups and downs, when he had some money on hand, he began to follow others to invest, but encountered a financial storm, and all the money invested in it was lost.
Overnight, Zhang Weijian was saddled with huge debts.
Desperate, he began to ask friends to borrow money, but was rejected by many people.
When he found Andy Lau, Hua Tsai didn't say a word, and directly wrote him a check to help him tide over the difficulties.
Zhang Weijian held the check and burst into tears, and he remembered a sentence of Hua Tsai for a lifetime.
When Wang Baoqiang was filming "No Thieves in the World", he once went to the toilet and washed his hands, but he didn't know how to use the sensor faucet.
Andy Lau was about to leave when he saw Wang Baoqiang's embarrassment, so he deliberately returned and washed his hands again, which allowed Wang Baoqiang to avoid embarrassment.
Just when all the black fans angrily sprayed Lu Han without acting skills, Andy Lau took the initiative to comfort Lu Han and said: "It's okay, whoever scolds you will help you scold back." ”
Just such a simple word of comfort moved Lu Han for a long time.
Some people say that Andy Lau is amazing, he can be popular for forty years, and he can hardly find an artist like Andy Lau who is so loved by everyone in the entertainment industry.
Why Andy Lau?
Perhaps the answer lies in his forty-year acting career.
