Recently, the Congress of the Chinese Film Association has just ended, and Andy Lau was elected as the new vice chairman of the Film Association, which undoubtedly demonstrates his "status in the rivers and lakes" in the entertainment industry.
However, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, there is also a legend who has once again consolidated his position in another election, that is, Louis Koo, who was re-elected as the "president".
The Hong Kong Performing Arts Association is an entertainers' union initiated by Anita Mui, Jackie Chan and other Hong Kong stars in 1993, and currently has 800 members.
The core members of this association are all local artists in Hong Kong, including some artists in the mainland and Taiwan Province. The position of president of this association has always been held by Hong Kong stars who have a certain status and influence in the Hong Kong circle. Since 2018, the president of the 13th session has been Louis Koo.
In the recent election of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, Louis Koo was re-elected as "president", which is also the fourth time he has been re-elected to this position. His re-election not only represents his influence, but also demonstrates his unshakable position in this circle.
Despite his popularity in the Mainland, Louis Koo has always focused his career on Hong Kong and has rarely set foot in the mainland market. In contrast, Andy Lau, who often appears in various large-scale events in the mainland, although his influence is wide, his status in the Hong Kong circle is still slightly inferior to Louis Koo.
This can be seen from a group photo: Andy Lau stands in the center of the second row, while Louis Koo is in the heart of the first row.
In addition to being an actor, Louis Koo is also a representative of capital. He began to invest in movies on his own very early on, founding the company "Tianxiayi".
His financial resources and influence are not limited to his identity as an actor, but also extend to the upper echelons of the film industry. Andy Lau once lamented that Louis Koo is a real "movie tycoon", and he is only engaged in film creation.
Louis Koo's dedication to charity is also one of the important reasons why he has earned respect. During the epidemic, he took the lead in distributing 9,000 yuan in relief to each "unemployed artist". He is not only a philanthropist in Hong Kong, but also in the Mainland.
As early as 2009, Louis Koo established the "Louis Koo Charity Fund" to help people in poor mountainous areas in the mainland. So far, tens of millions of donations have been made, and he has donated hundreds of schools in the mountainous areas.
has strength and kindness, and is only 53 years old, Louis Koo can become the "president" who convinces the entire Hong Kong circle, and his status in the minds of mainland netizens is also very high.
His success is not only because of his talent and hard work, but also because of his sense of responsibility and love. He proved with his actions that in the entertainment industry, the real status comes from his dedication to the industry, his responsibility to the society and his insistence on charity.
