Not long ago, the latest trailer for the movie "Goldfinger" was released.
Andy Lau and Tony Leung faced off again, staging a police and bandit chase, and the audience shouted "Ye Qinghui"...
Someone sighed: Thank you two for allowing me to make up for the movie ticket I owed to "Infernal Affairs" in my lifetime!
In the released materials, Andy Lau plays the hidden police detective, which is in stark contrast to the almost crazy big boss Wei Zai.
The two made eye contact, tested each other, and the performance was all in the details...
There is a scene, in the face of Wei Zai's temptation, Andy is silent, his eyes turn and he has a plan, and finally he smiles evilly, and the drama is full of tension...
And just last month, the movie "Mr. Red Carpet" was also on several hot searches.
The first is a small clip in the movie that goes out of the circle at the speed of light...
At the film awards ceremony, the list of actors will be announced soon. Offstage, the "big star" played by Andy Lau was looking forward and scared, but he had to pretend to be calm.
As soon as I heard my name, I couldn't wait to stand up, but it turned out that it wasn't him who won the award, which was too embarrassing...
This paragraph is so real, netizens commented: This is a documentary...
After the movie was rescheduled on the first day of the Lunar New Year, other people's movies were rescheduled, which was just an ordinary article, but "Mr. Red Carpet" made a special video.
The video was shot very funny, and the director Ning Hao called Andy and whispered: The change of schedule is the meaning of the employer...
not only continues the style of the movie, but also echoes the sentence "Can you be more professional than the management" in the trailer...
In the current fast-iterating entertainment industry, it's hard for you to imagine who else has such appeal, and every move can set off a wave of heated discussions on the Internet...
He is: Andy Lau.
There is such a saying in the market: A star is a star in the first year, a superstar is a superstar in the red year, and Andy Lau is a star in the red for more than 40 years.
Andy Lau's first wave of fans are now grandparents, and the grandchildren of these fans will still watch his movies and sing his songs...
The reason why he has been popular for so long is, in the most popular words now, that it is enough to "roll".
He has been rolling since he was 7 years old ...
The family runs a restaurant, and he gets up at 4 a.m. to help carry water. When I came home from school, I still had to help in the store, washing countless dishes and chopsticks...
It is not until after 10 p.m. that you can start doing your homework, finish it in an hour and a half, go to bed before 12 o'clock, and sleep four hours a day.
In fact, Andy Lau's ancestors were all farmers, but when it came to his father's generation, he was unwilling to farm all his life, so he moved to the city with his wife and children to seek development.
Life is hard, but the fate of the family changes.
And the young Andy Lau didn't know that it was his father's pioneering spirit that affected his life.
Hard-working and hard-working have become the background color of Andy Lau's life, prompting him to become a recognized model worker in the entertainment industry.
Wang Jing once commented on Andy Lau: I have never seen anyone who works harder than him, and he will be popular in anyone's hands.
When he first debuted, Andy Lau played tricks in TVB, tossing and turning in all kinds of passers-by A, student B, and thief C...
But no matter what the role, he is playing it seriously.
He said to himself: I believe that all I am missing is an opportunity. As long as you are willing to pay, God will not fail you.
Andy Lau during the Dragon Set
In 1982, the opportunity came, and he participated in "Running to the Angry Sea".
Before the start of filming, Andy Lau was exposed to the sun in Sanya for a few months before he showed his dark skin that matched the role, and cut his hair to shreds, without idol baggage at all.
At that time, the filming location was a very remote fishing village, hot and mosquito-infested, and all the staff were crammed into dilapidated huts, and at night, everyone slept on the floor.
When filming the scene of jumping into the sea and escaping, the water was turbulent, the patrol boat hit his boat, Andy Lau fell into the sea, and his feet were inserted into the iron support of the boat, cracking two inches on the spot...
Stills from "Running to the Angry Sea".
But the effort is worth it.
"Running to the Angry Sea" received rave reviews after its release, winning Best Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Andy Lau was nominated for Best New Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
In order to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry quickly, Andy Lau has been taking on dramas non-stop every year: in 1988, 10 films, 16 films in 1989, 12 films in 1990, 13 films in 1991, 10 films in 1992...
He said: I'm stupid, and I don't know which one is good and which one is bad, which one will be popular and which one won't, so I'll take a little more.
"Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War"
Every drama filmed by Andy Lau is like playing with life, blasting scenes, gunfight scenes, jumping scenes... Injuries due to drama are commonplace.
He believes that to be successful, you have to be the best.
When filming "Love Destiny", Andy Lau did not have any protective measures, not even Genvia, and stood directly in the bow of the ship against the wind...
During the filming of "Casting a Name", he was chained and dragged away, and there was no martial arts guidance or protection at the scene, resulting in a fractured ring finger bone in his left hand, which has not been able to be fully straightened so far, and has become a lifelong disability...
During the filming of "Lost Orphans", in order to fit the image of the peasants, he deliberately went to the beach and exposed himself for seven days, and for the effect of a scene, the group performers slapped themselves desperately, and their faces were swollen...
During the filming of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", 59-year-old Andy Lau personally went into battle, starring in scenes such as jumping cars, jumping bridges, and jumping buildings.
Some netizens said: This is using Andy Lau as a dragon!
Acting has been so desperate, and Andy Lau's music path is not ambiguous.
In 1985, Andy Lau released his first album, but no one bought it, and some people even publicly criticized him, which is not this material.
But Andy Lau did not give up, got up early every day to practice his voice, and sang when he seized the opportunity. Not only to sing, but also to try to compose lyrics.
As a result, everyone also saw ...
"Afterlife", "Forget Love Water", "Ice Rain", "Chinese", "It's Not a Sin for Men to Cry", "Stupid Child"...
The capital is a household name, known to women and children.
The sentences in "Stupid Child" "When I went to the city in my teens, I was not afraid of the sun, and I worked hard in the 70s" and "I was the most helpless, he would always slow down others"...
It is he who is writing about himself, and he is also telling us a simple truth: a person can have no talent, but as long as he is willing to persevere, ordinary people can also break out of the sky, and they can also make the ordinary out of the wonderful.
Back then, Huang Zhan once criticized him: I have never seen a lyricist who writes love songs so stupidly.
But Andy Lau's efforts made him gradually change, once, he patted Andy Lau on the shoulder and said: People will progress, I scolded you for three years, I understand your current works!
Since his debut, Andy Lau has released more than 150 records, sang more than 1,000 songs, and held more than 400 concerts...
He has starred in more than 190 films, leaving us with countless impressive roles: policeman, thief, God of Gamblers, farmer, scientist, thief, gangster, gangster...
His name, his reputation, his songs, and his images spread all over the streets and alleys, and became popular all over the country...
In 2021, Andy Lau recorded a video to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his debut.
What touched me the most was his humble words in the video:
Of course, we have to celebrate, but not to celebrate a person's 40 years of popularity, but to celebrate a person's 40 years of serious work.
Andy Lau is just an ordinary person, I will cry, I am also very stupid, every scene you see is just an ordinary person named Andy Lau, the result of hard work every day...
To be honest, the crow when I was young was not a fan of Andy Lau, but as I grew older, I liked Andy Lau more and more, and admired such people more and more.
In the entertainment industry, Andy Lau has never been the smartest one, nor the most talented one, he has tried to be scolded by the director and ridiculed...
For criticism from the outside world, he humbly accepted it and worked hard in secret.
From him, I saw the ceiling of an ordinary person's hard work.
Whether it's a celebrity or an amateur, each of us is trying our best to live.
This is the value that idols should transmit to us.
Recently, Andy Lau attended Huawei's autumn all-scenario new product launch conference, and once again mentioned: I am an ordinary person who works hard.
He looks back on his career and highlights two seniors who have had a profound impact on him.
One is director Ann Hui.
"Sister Peach" has won countless honors, but after that, Xu Anhua still lives a simple life, she feels that as long as she makes a good movie and does it to the extreme, it is her life's dream.
Andy Lau said: She is the extraordinary master in my heart. She never catches the trend because she is the trend.
The other is Lin Zixiang.
As a senior in the music industry, Lin Zixiang encouraged him to sing many times, and when his debut album failed, he said to him: I'm still competing, and I haven't won yet, so you admit defeat?
Lin Zixiang is such an extraordinary master, even if he has achieved fame, he is still climbing and never giving up.
Andy Lau would like to use these stories to encourage everyone:
The times need pioneers to break through, to change, to create, to lead and encourage those who come after them.
At the same time, everyone's starting line is different, no matter how slow you run, no matter how long you detour, one day you will reach the peak that belongs to you.
Whether it is Huawei or Extraordinary Master, they tell the same story: not born extraordinary, but dare to be extraordinary.
As the "HUAWEI Mate 60 RS Brand Ambassador", Andy Lau's personal charm is very close to the Huawei brand.
Andy Lau has been down-to-earth and diligent for more than 40 years, constantly moving forward, and has done the ultimate in every job.
From acting to singing, from singing to writing songs, from artists to producers, promoting the progress of the entire film industry, and also from the entertainment industry to the art circle, writing calligraphy, holding art exhibitions...
He is 62 years old this year, and he is still breaking through himself and constantly trying.
In the promotional video of Huawei's Extraordinary Master, Andy Lau interprets the word "extraordinary" like this:
Non is the ability to constantly abandon, deny, and persist in creating;
It is the courage to be serious, practical, diligent and keep moving forward.
In the latest Huawei interview video, Andy Lau further discussed:
Everyone has their own exclusive definition of "extraordinary", which belongs to the extraordinary of ordinary people, perhaps not earth-shattering, but step by step, bringing the ordinary out of the wonderful.
Not born extraordinary, but daring to be extraordinary.
Andy Lau is so, and so is Huawei.
Founded in 1987 in a residential building in Nanyou, Shenzhen, Huawei started from scratch with a difficult start.
But with its unremitting efforts and innovative spirit, it opened up the market little by little, and it took more than 30 years to go from obscurity to world-famous.
In the perception of many people, Huawei is making mobile phones, and all kinds of anti-sky black technologies can be searched from time to time.
In fact, Huawei provides communications and Internet services to many countries around the world, and its enterprise business involves cloud computing, storage, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, enterprise communications, and other fields.
Both Andy Lau and Huawei are in the tide of the times, seizing opportunities, constantly breaking through their own limits, constantly exploring unknown areas, and finally exerting outstanding value and promoting the development of society.
They are not born extraordinary, but dare to be extraordinary.
This time, Huawei's ultra-high-end brand, ULTIMATE DESIGN Extraordinary Master, endorsed by Andy Lau, takes the extreme, high-end, simplicity and purity as the brand connotation, and is the culmination of Huawei's ultimate aesthetics, craftsmanship and innovation after years of precipitation, and pays tribute to the extraordinary masters of this era with the spirit of exploration.
Andy Lau said frankly: The times have changed, we are facing a different situation, and the pressure on young people now may be much greater than when we were at that time...
Even so, you can still do something, work hard for yourself, become what you want to be, and do what you like.
Whether it is Andy Lau or the Huawei brand, they are willing to accompany all young people at the moment, go through another round of pressure, and encourage everyone to achieve personal extraordinary.
The extraordinary of ordinary people may not be earth-shattering, but living with heart can also be wonderful.
It was a busy day, still maintaining curiosity and interest, and being able to discover the beauty of life;
That is to resist the pressure of the world, insist on doing what you think is right, silently precipitate and accumulate;
It is to constantly introspect, constantly update cognition, draw the boundaries of the known, and strive to get out of the larger radius of life...
Time will not disappoint everyone, go down step by step, and one day you will suddenly look back, and you will find that you have stood on the peak.
