This year's movie Spring Festival file, some people are happy and some are worried.

Jia Ling, who lost 100 pounds, extended the miracle from the movie to reality, not to mention the level of the movie itself, with the blessing of word-of-mouth with enthusiasm, the box office of "Hot and Hot" has soared in two days after its release.

The movie "Mr. Red Carpet" directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau is at the bottom of both word-of-mouth and box office.

From the previous unsatisfactory pre-sale results, to the box office of the two days of release, it only broke 50 million, falling straight to sixth place, coupled with the Douban score that slipped from 7 points to 6.9 points, it can be described as a fiasco at the beginning.

The promotion of "Mr. Red Carpet" is an elegant comedy, plus director Ning Hao, who was good at black humor before, and partner actor Andy Lau to jointly tell a satirical story in the entertainment industry, which was once pinned on high hopes.

However, after watching this movie, two words: disappointed.

Andy Lau is very open-minded, self-sacrifice is quite big, and the performance is respectable, but the problem is in the movie itself, the comedy is not comedy enough, the satire is not ironic enough, and the depth is not deep enough.

Looking at the current reputation and box office of "Mr. Red Carpet", it can only be said that it is not wronged at all, and it has nothing to do with whether this movie is suitable for the Spring Festival.

"Mr. Red Carpet" seems to want to make an ambitious art movie, but in the end, it is not high or low, and it also makes the mass audience obscure and confused, which becomes the director's self-esteem, and greatly disappoints Ning Hao's level, which is naturally not recognized by the audience.

But the movie still has highlights and laughs.

For example, it satirizes some investors who don't understand movies and like to point fingers.

In the movie, the investor made a cameo appearance in the movie he invested, asked the director to give the lines to the C position, and also asked to dedicate himself to art and have some action scenes.

In this regard, director Ning Hao said that he must be satisfied, and asked other actors to directly stage the scene of "kicking the investor", which made the leading actor Andy Lau on the side panic and hurriedly stopped, but it was useless at all, and it was hilarious and enjoyable to watch.

However, the most daring thing about "Mr. Red Carpet" is not the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, not the faces of superstars, not the scene at the awards ceremony, but the exposure of a mysterious master.

The White Dragon King.

In the film, when Andy Lau played the actor Liu Weichi was wearing a dress, the agent handed over a blue bow tie.

Liu Weichi asked why it was blue and was there any other color, and the other party handed him a red bow tie, but at the same time told him: The White Dragon King suggested blue.

The White Dragon King is the master behind the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Although he has been dead for many years, there are still various stories and legends about him and the Hong Kong entertainment industry on the rivers and lakes.

Among them, including the story of Andy Lau and the White Dragon King.

The White Dragon King is an overseas Chinese in Thailand, who guides the faithful every day, saves the destined people, and prays for them. Andy Lau called the White Dragon King his master, because he had received many instructions from the other party, and he respected him very much.

In the early years, Andy Lau was the boss to invest in movies, but he lost money, and in 2002, he owed debts and got into a lawsuit, when he found the White Dragon King for help, and after the White Dragon King's guidance, Andy Lau regained the opportunity, weathered the difficulties, walked out of the shadow of his career, and got on the right track again, and became popular all the way.

In this regard, Andy Lau was grateful, regarded the White Dragon King as his master, often greeted, and bowed down many times. Later, when the White Dragon King died, Andy Lau rushed to Thailand to see him off for the last time.

Even the classic movie "Infernal Affairs", which has become a benchmark for Hong Kong police and gangster films, is also related to the White Dragon King.

At that time, Lin Jianyue's Media Asia Film Company decided to shoot "Infernal Affairs" in the sluggish market, and specially invited the White Dragon King from Thailand to Hong Kong to preside over the overall situation and pray for everyone.

It is worth mentioning that because the White Dragon King likes white, Shanxin mostly came in white clothes, but that time only Andy Lau wore a blue basketball jersey to meet the White Dragon King, and later, Andy Lau said that he wore white clothes inside.

Later, "Infernal Affairs" was a big hit, and Lin Jianyue's next two sequels invited the White Dragon King again, and when the filming of "Infernal Affairs 3" started, there were also group photos of the White Dragon King and Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Liming in the same frame, and when the movie was released, the White Dragon King continued to appear at the premiere scene.

Not only Andy Lau, but also Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huasheng Brothers, Tony Leung, Li Ming, Shu Qi, Yu Wenle, Ren Xianqi, Peng Yuyan and most of the Hong Kong entertainment industry went to the White Dragon King for guidance, Tony Leung and Shu Qi were very religiously bowed at that time, and later their careers became more and more prosperous.

There is also Luo Mouxiang, when he went to visit the White Dragon King before, he was warned to quit sex in order to be red, but in the end, he still didn't control himself and fell on this word.

But it is rumored that there are people who don't see the White Dragon King, Hong Kong Entertainment once broke the news that Leslie Cheung wanted to see the White Dragon King before the accident, and originally made an appointment with the time and place, but 2 hours before the meeting, the White Dragon King changed his mind and did not want to see Leslie Cheung, the reason is unknown, but it has become an eternal regret.

This time, Andy Lau starred in "Mr. Red Carpet", although the White Dragon King only appeared in the lines, but from his suggestions for the color of the celebrities' clothing, it can be seen that his influence on the Hong Kong entertainment industry can be seen.

Having said that, have you watched Andy Lau's "Mr. Red Carpet"?
