"Andy Lau's kind of life is not a human life."
This sentence comes from the mouth of the famous director Wang Jing.
Tang Zhenye, a friend of "Huazai" for many years, also told reporters;
"Don't think Andy Lau is amazing, in fact, he has a pitiful life."
Tang Zhenye
An idol a year, Andy Lau for a hundred years, decades after his debut, "Huazai" has always been an infallible "evergreen" in the entertainment industry.
According to common sense, as a big star, his life must be much more comfortable than ordinary people.
But why did Wang Jing and Tang Zhenye say such things?
In fact, as long as you understand Hua Tsai's life experience, you will find that what they say is true.
If you want to be noble before others, you must suffer before others
There is a good saying in the movie "Farewell My Concubine":
"If you want to be noble before men, you must suffer before others."
It is simply appropriate to describe Andy Lau in this sentence.
He is bright and beautiful in the spotlight, but in the corner where others cannot see, "Hua Zi" also bears the unimaginable sadness of others.
In 1983, Andy Lau and Chen Yulian co-starred in the TV series "The Condor Heroes".
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu played by the two were loved by the audience, and Andy Lau became popular because of this.
He originally thought that he could start his brilliant interpretation road from now on.
Unexpectedly, an incident completely knocked him back to the bottom.
Seeing Andy Lau's fame, the original old club TVB planned to renew his contract with him for another five years.
However, Andy Lau thought that the renewal period was too long, so he refused to renew it.
Seeing that the artists who he single-handedly trained each other actually wanted to "betray" the company, the top management of TVB "hidden" him.
He sat on the "cold bench" for more than a year, and finally with the help of Run Run Shaw, Andy Lau survived the crisis.

In addition to encountering "workplace bullying", "Hua Zi" will also suffer physical injuries from time to time in his acting career.
In 1991, at a fundraising charity gala for the disaster-stricken people in East China, Andy Lau performed an extremely dangerous show on the spot in order to raise more funds for the disaster-stricken areas.
I saw Andy Lau being pressed under a rock, and a staff member brandished a hammer and smashed it down fiercely.
After the first hammer hit, the stone slab was intact.
Immediately after the second hammer, the stone slab still did not crack.
"Come again".
Andy Lau puffed up his strength and said in a resolute tone to the staff wielding the hammer.
The third hammer fell, and the stone slab was still not broken.
The audience couldn't help but sweat for Andy Lau, and everyone was worried about whether Andy Lau could stand it.
Under everyone's worried gaze, the staff smashed the fourth hammer.
With a "bang", the stone slab finally shattered into several pieces.
Immediately there was thunderous applause from the audience, and several people immediately helped Andy Lau up and handed the microphone to Andy Lau to let him speak.
But before Andy Lau could speak, a mouthful of blood spat out.
Everyone was startled, and Andy Lau, whose face was covered in blood, supported his body and said:
"It's called blood thicker than water."
He used his practical actions to express that Hong Kong compatriots and the mainland people are heart-to-heart and will always be a family.
During the filming of the movie "Orphaned", Andy Lau had a scene where he was slapped by others.
Originally, the director wanted to make a show, but the serious Andy Lau did not agree with the director's opinion.
In order to pursue a more realistic performance effect, Andy Lau strongly demanded to fight really well.
During the shooting, the group actors temporarily invited by the crew did not dare to really be ruthless.
Andy Lau constantly encouraged her on the set and helped her overcome psychological pressure.
The extras finally hit hard.
Snapping, Andy Lau received several loud slaps in a row, and half of his face was swollen.
The staff at the scene were also moved to tears by Andy Lau's dedicated attitude.
In 2017, Andy Lau accidentally fell off a horse while filming abroad, resulting in heavy injuries in many parts of his body.
After a year of recuperation, he was able to return to filming.
This injury also left many sequelae on his body.
In the past, he was not afraid of the sky, and he also began to be afraid of driving and flying.
It is precisely because of the dedication behind it that Andy Lau is brilliant today.
Today, at the age of 62, he is still active in the front line of the entertainment industry, and he can be seen at major award ceremonies.
On May 23 this year, Andy Lau appeared on the red carpet of the Huabiao Awards.
Tall and handsome, full of aura, he is no less than Wu Jing, who is 12 years younger than himself.
People can't help but wonder, how can Andy Lau become more attractive the older he gets?
In fact, director Wang Jing has long told the truth that Andy Lau is "not old" a few years ago.
Wang Jing revealed the truth with one word
Many carefully observed fans found that since his debut for decades, Andy Lau's figure and body shape have hardly changed significantly.
At the Huabiao Award ceremony in May this year, Andy Lau, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, let people see what a real "ageless man" is.
People can't help but wonder, how did "Hua Tsai" do it?
It wasn't until they saw what director Wang Jing said that everyone suddenly realized.
Wang Jing, a famous Hong Kong director, once told the media: "Andy Lau has not eaten rice for ten years. ”
Hearing this, everyone understood the reason why Andy Lau's figure has been the same for decades.
In order to maintain his figure, "Huazai" does not eat rice all year round.
The daily diet is basically based on a variety of vegetables, fruits and nuts.
These foods are indeed healthy and sound very "delicious".
It is acceptable to eat once in a while, but if you insist on eating for more than ten years like Andy Lau, I am afraid that most people will not be able to stand it.
In addition to these, Andy Lau also tries to avoid greasy foods high in oil and salt in his daily diet, and his daily diet is clear soup and low water.
On the program "Lu Yu Has a Date", Andy Lau told the host Chen Luyu that he has been vegetarian for many years.
This is not only to maintain figure and health, but also to cooperate with his wife's vegetarian diet.
It can be seen from this that in addition to being very self-disciplined in life, our Liu Tianwang is also a spoiled wife and crazy demon.
Such a self-disciplined lifestyle shocked director Wang Jing.
He couldn't help but sigh in front of the media: "Andy Lau's life is really not a human life. ”
In fact, in addition to Wang Jing, many people in the entertainment industry have made similar remarks.

Tang Zhenye: I pity Andy Lau
A reporter once asked Tang Zhenye whether he envied Andy Lau's salary of tens of millions of dollars for a play.
Tang Zhenye's answer was completely beyond everyone's expectations, he said that you don't look at Andy Lau on the surface, in fact, he has a pitiful life.
Andy Lau and Tang Zhenye have been friends for many years, and the two were called the "TVB Five Tigers" together with Miao Qiaowei, Tony Leung and Huang Rihua.
It's just that later, due to various reasons, the Five Tigers were forced to disband, and everyone began to develop separately.
When he first disbanded, Andy Lau's situation was the most difficult.
Although he was famous for playing Yang Guo in "The Condor Heroes", he was later hidden by the company for a long time because of contract issues.
The speed of renewal in the entertainment industry is clear to everyone, and if it does not appear for a few months, it may be completely forgotten by the audience.
Later, although under the mediation of others, Andy Lau reached a settlement with the company.
However, the negative impact of this "snow hide" on Andy Lau's acting career is difficult to disappear in a short period of time.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer opportunities for filming, he could only turn his energy to music.
Andy Lau did not expect that his helpless career change would actually create another brilliance.
After entering the 90s, Andy Lau, Liming, Kwok Fucheng and Jacky Cheung were named the "Four Heavenly Kings" by the media.
A few people dominated the Hong Kong music scene for a decade.
During this period, Andy Lau also continued to cultivate his acting career, and finally successfully became popular in the film and television industry, and won various film and television awards.
What is even more valuable is that for decades since his debut, Andy Lau has hardly had any scandals.
Such a "Huazai" who is "both virtuous and artistic" is simply a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
On the other hand, after Tang Zhenye disbanded, he soon ushered in his peak, but this peak came and went quickly.
He did not seize the opportunity to create glory again, but fell into various peach-colored scandals, and fans' good feelings for him were exhausted.
Coupled with the failure of Tang Zhenye's investment later, the salary earned by his hard work in filming was almost defeated by him.
In desperation, he had to continue to come out to film, but his figure was out of shape and his appearance was blessed, and he could only play supporting roles in film and television dramas.
Compared with Andy Lau, who earns tens of millions of dollars, the current situation of Tang Zhenye is really shabby.
Although the gap between the two is now so large, Tang Zhenye said that he did not envy Andy Lau at all. He even said that he pity Andy Lau.
When asked why, Tang Zhenye told reporters:
"I don't envy Andy Lau, his life is too bitter, he has not eaten rice or meat for more than ten years, and ordinary people can't bear such a life at all."
He also said that although he earns less money than Andy Lau, it is enough for the family's living expenses.
And he is also very free, and he doesn't have to worry about being followed by paparazzi when he goes out.
On the contrary, it is Andy Lau, even going out needs to be scared, everyone thinks that he envies Andy Lau, in fact, it should be Andy Lau who envies him.
As soon as Tang Zhenye's remarks came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Some people think that he can't eat grapes and say grape sour, and he says that he is not envious, but he is actually very jealous in his heart.
Others think Tang Zhenye has a point.
These people feel that Andy Lau has actually lost a lot of joy in life by maintaining so-called decency.
After Andy Lau fell off the horse in 2017, Alan Tam, a good friend, visited him in the hospital twice.
Later, after talking about Andy Lau's injury in the program, President Tan said with emotion:
"When he shoots movies, he is a producer, an investor, a singer, and he is on stage, and he feels very tired in his heart."
His words are full of distress for his friend, and perhaps he also hopes that his friend can not work so hard and enjoy life well.
But Andy Lau was not destined to be that kind of person, and during his recuperation, he still insisted on participating in the promotion of the film.
epilogue
Whether it is Andy Lau or Tang Zhenye, their lifestyles are difficult to define with simple "right" and "wrong".
It can only be said that in life, everyone's pursuit is different.
Some choose to enjoy life, some choose to fight hard.
This is also why Andy Lau can always stand on the stage and become an eternal "superstar" in the hearts of fans.
Some celebrities, on the other hand, can only be short-lived, and eventually gradually forgotten.
I don't know which lifestyle do readers and friends agree with?
