a tiger general who is unwilling to be at the mercy of others - remember the hong kong film and television celebrity Andy Lau

(a)

Andy Lau - one of the five tigers of Hong Kong TVB. Why is he listed as an accomplished film and television celebrity? Andy Lau summed himself up in eight words: luck, cultivation, strength, and hard work.

Andy Lau was born on September 23, 1961 in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. His father was a firefighter and later made a living as a farmer and a small shop. Liu's ambition was to be a firefighter or a farmer, and it was only under the influence of his dance teacher that he changed his career to a performing arts. This farmer's son, 1.74 meters tall, slender and sturdy, although not handsome and chic, but also has clear facial features, simple but not rustic. His deep eyebrows, slightly depressed, and deep worldly static, or healthy and lively, are the most attractive. After graduating from high school, with the longing and dreams of young people for the future, he was admitted to the 10th artist training class of TVB, and signed a contract to become an artist after graduation.

Hong Kong female director Shan Huizhu started filming "Goodbye in the Rivers and Lakes" and chose Andy Lau to play the big brother of the underworld, and the performance was very expressive. It was this series that opened up Andy Lau's artistic path. During the reign of Le Duan, Zu Ming and many young adults were deported to barren mountains and mountains, and the heavily guarded "New Economic Zone" was used to open up wasteland and dig up mines left by the US military, and his life was in danger. Later, Zu Ming was killed while fleeing. The film won six Academy Awards in Hong Kong. Although Liu did not win the award, his image and acting skills were highly respected. Since then, he has had a good fortune, and the word "leading actor" has been added in front of his name, and many producers and famous directors have also issued film appointments to him. He has made more than 10 films in a row, such as "Doom Ground Truck", "The Great Assassin", "Shanghai Tang Thirteen Taibao", "Unstoppable Love", "Best Lucky Star", "Magic Jade", "Liver and Heart", "Heroes" and so on. "Extrajudicial Affairs", written by the famous Hong Kong director and producer Wu Siyuan, specially invited Andy Lau, who has a "righteous face", to star as a lawyer who grew up in an orphanage and graduated from the British law department. His first case in office was that of a prostitute accused of murdering a rich man. The young lawyer was not afraid of power and hardships, and handled the case fairly. Later, he learned that the prostitute Jing was his biological mother. This film with deep connotation and strong appeal is like a rare clear spring water in the trend of kung fu and farce in Hong Kong, refreshing people's hearts. Andy Lau likes this script very much, he doesn't care about the salary, the only condition is to insist that Wu Siyuan direct it himself. Due to Wu's careful arrangement, the courtroom debate scenes that may have been boring and dull are filmed interlockingly, step by step, flesh and blood, and become the most touching passage of the film. Liu Yan's lawyer gives people a feeling of being reborn, and his appearance and look are very similar to that of a professional lawyer. Andy Lau also sang two songs for the film, "I Wish to Walk Alone" and "Walking in Memory", and made a record. Many of the films starring Liu have sold more than 10 million yuan, and he has also become Hong Kong's "tens of millions of red students".

Andy Lau has only been reused by TVB since the film "Running to the Angry Sea". In recent years, he has filmed TV series such as "Little Hero of the Flower Boat", "Running to the Sun", "Su Qi'er", "Old Cave", "Demon Paradise", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Take Care of the Emperor", "Yang Jiajiang" (as Liulang), <圣剑天娇>etc., fully demonstrating his broad acting career and performance skills. Liu played a Jiang David in the drama "Falcon> who had great ambitions to eliminate violence and peace and was admitted to the Royal Police Academy. In order to crack the drug trafficking syndicate, he went deep into the tiger's den, and in advance, he tried to find a way to resign publicly, leave the police circle, and create a misunderstanding to snub his girlfriend. He learned from his mother, Jiang Lu, that Qi Gan, the policeman who cooperated with him, was his father. Father and son work closely together to solve the case. The ratings of "Falcon" are very high, and Liu's performance is also ideal because the character is closer to himself. Think of it as a work that satisfies you personally.

The TV series "The Condor Heroes" enthusiastically eulogized the heroes and heroes of the Southern Song Dynasty who loved the country and the people, presided over justice, and whipped the traitors who betrayed the country and sought glory and the national scum who did a lot of evil, Andy Lau starred in the play the brave and cynical Yang Guo (the son of Yang Kang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"), with a terrifying charm, Yang Guo has been taught by the "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng, the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi, and the "Northern Beggar" Hong Qigong. His tortuous love affair with Xiaolongnu aroused the audience's emotion and sympathy. Liu was worried that his eagle hook nose would affect his appearance at first, but afterwards he found that his image was very charming, so he also had the confidence to act in costume dramas. When he was in middle school, Andy Lau especially liked to read Jin Yong's novels and knew the characters in the books well, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to play the characters in the books. No wonder Andy Lau worked so hard to act, after the filming of this series, he lost 16 pounds.

The "Five Tigers" cultivated by TVB were all about 20 years old at the time, with good appearance, great plasticity, full of energy, tiger energy, and a lack of family background, willing to endure hardships, and the dramas starring them had basic audiences in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Being a popular celebrity artist is enviable, but it is also very hard. They often shoot for a week on end, with little rest. Especially when filming martial arts films, my physical strength is constantly consumed, and I am also injured. Huang Rihua, one of the Five Tigers, had hepatitis, and Tony Leung was so tired that he cried loudly. Andy Lau filmed non-stop for 28 hours in a row, and his mother felt sorry for her son and used ginseng soup to nourish him. Liu jumped from a height of 30 meters in order to act realistically, and suffered a waist injury that still has a dull pain.

In 1985, Andy Lau had a conflict with TVB over the renewal of the contract. In addition to feeling that five years is a long time for signing a contract, Liu mainly expressed dissatisfaction with TVB's control of all his external activities. What he wants to fight for is the right to have the freedom to make films outside the home. His untaming was unceremoniously manipulated, first he was snubbed and had no scenes to film, and then he was filmed for 9 months in a row, and he was so tired that he couldn't breathe. Even the role that was originally determined to be starring him, even tried the costume, and came to a pre-battle to let Huang Rihua answer. Liu got a taste of the moves that the bosses of Hong Kong's business society did to the actors. The complicated life experiences also added life experience to Andy Lau and made him mature.

Andy Lau believes that movies are more challenging than TV and can hone his acting skills, but TV can go deep into families and win the hearts of the people, so he still hopes that film and television are amphibious.

In addition to filming, Andy Lau also sang on stage. When singing in Singapore, he was warmly welcomed. He sings not only warm and lyrical songs, but also lively, unrestrained, and fast-paced songs. The income from singing in Singapore three times can buy a floor for his parents, and Liu Guan's records include "I Wish My Husband Shed Tears", "How Can I", "Love Last Second" and so on.

Andy Lau - one of the five tigers of Hong Kong TVB. Why is he listed as an accomplished film and television celebrity? Andy Lau's self-summary is eight words: luck, cultivation, strength, and hard work.

Andy Lau is filial to his parents, frugal in life, good at financial management, he has prepared a way back for himself, one is to open a hairstyling shop, hire a hairstylist, he occasionally gives a haircut to his friends, showing his skills: the second is that he paid for his father to open a roast meat shop with others, and the business is prosperous, with profits and losses.

Andy Lau is a person whose career is more important than love, he has had girlfriends, but they all failed because he was too busy filming and neglected his feelings. Liu is still young, and he is not in a hurry to get married yet.
