"Let the time pass in a hurry, I only care about you, and I am willing to infect your breath." The light and shadow are hurried, and the idol is not old. "Andy Lau, 40 years in light and shadow" came to the ninth issue today, and we will review Andy Lau's 81st to 90th films.
81. "Heaven and Earth" 1994
This is a high-quality movie, not only director Li Dawei made very carefully, the film story Zhang Relaxed, the main creators Andy Lau, Chen Shaoxia, Jin Shijie, Gu Baoming, Yu Feihong, Liu Songren also performed a special effort, the movie theme song "Forgetting Love Water" and "Lingering" are also classic "Liu's love songs", but just as the "Zhang Yipeng" played by Andy Lau at the end of the movie fell at the moment when General Li said: Sorry, you were not born at the right time, "Heaven and Earth" is also a "born at the wrong time" movie, Such a literary and art film is definitely an annual hit at the moment, but the Hong Kong theme in 1994 is heavy, this is the 6th play produced by Tianmu Film Company, in addition to the film "Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan" co-produced with Huanya in 1992, the other 5 films are recognized as well-made films, but in addition to the first "91 Divine Eagle Heroes", the other 5 are acclaimed "money-losing movies", especially this "Sky and Earth" that Tianmu values most, which has become the last straw that crushed the company After this film, Andy Lau began his 5-year-long road of "filming and paying off debts". Some people say that Andy Lau is the king of bad films, filmed so many "fast food movies" without nutrition, that is you have not experienced difficulties, especially financial difficulties, "a penny is difficult to defeat the hero", as long as there is food to eat in difficult times, what dignity, who blocks violent collection for you, frequent harassment, in order to find a way to live for the canopy, in order to let the company's shareholders and employees not suffer losses, Andy Lau alone "shouldered all the crimes", in addition to borrowing 40 million yuan from Ms. Chen Lan, began to frantically pick up the film, As long as there is a film remuneration, no matter what the theme of the film, except for THE SQ film and the film that violates the principle of being a person. At that time, Andy Lau considered how to let the company and employees survive, which is whether the film exercises his acting skills. A college classmate of mine once said: Everyone takes a different path, everyone's achievements are different. Therefore, such a sentient and responsible Andy Lau, even if he made some so-called "bad films" in those years, I have always liked and always supported, because in addition to him you can no longer find such a good predecessor and idol. Loving Andy Lau is like cherishing your marriage, it is a lifelong thing.
82 Killer's Fairy Tale, 1994
In 1994, Andy Lau and his "little fan sister", known as "Liangliang", made this movie - "The Killer's Fairy Tale", which was the second cooperation between the two after "Absolute Double Glory". Both of them played the "killer" and staged the scene of "killing and falling in love", the two men and women were beautiful like a pair of people, the movie looked very relaxed, but compared with movies such as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the box office of 5.54 million proved that this was a less successful movie.
83, "Sword laugh", 1994
"Sword Laugh" is The second collaboration between Andy Lau and Lin Qingxia, after which Lin Qingxia gradually faded out of the film world until 2001. In Andy Lau's martial arts films, I personally feel that the "laughing three young" played by him in this movie and the ancient costume appearance in the 2000 movie "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden Purple" are the most handsome, and the "famous sword" played by Lin Qingxia is also heroic, with the rough "horizontal knife" of Xu Jinjiang, who just played Lu Zhishen in "The Hero of Water Margin", the iron triangle is very lively to fight and kill together, but due to the unclear story structure of the movie, the film's box office fiasco, the three top stars starred, the film's box office was only 3.55 million, So much so that people are discussing whether it is "Sword Laugh" or Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison" that "ended" the martial arts film trend of the 90s.
84 The Great Adventurer, 1995
"The Great Adventurer", also known as "Challenger", is The only collaboration between Andy Lau and the big director Lin Lingdong (Lin Lingdong is one of the producers in "Heavenly Love", so it is not counted). This is a big-scene film, quite international, is the consistent style of Director Lin. In this movie, Andy Lau and Guan Zhilin, Wu Qianlian two beautiful women staged a love triangle, Qin Pei and Andy Lau's every cooperation can collide with the spark, the contradiction between the two in "The Adventurer" is the main line of the development of the film, of course, there is Zhang Che's "proud protégé" Jiang David. Accustomed to seeing and Participating Liu's cooperation with directors such as Wang Jing, Liu Zhenwei, Huang Tailai, Zeng Zhiwei, etc., and then looking at his cooperation with Director Lin, I was suddenly refreshed. With a box office of 14.84 million, Andy Lau's market appeal gradually returned to normal. When I wrote this movie, I thought of Lin Lingdong, remembered the scene when I brushed "Prison Storm" over and over again, and missed Director Lin!
85. Chariot of Fire, 1995
"Chariot of Fire" is Andy Lau's rare acclaimed and well-sold movie in those years, ranking 4th in the year at the box office of 33.77 million, and the film made Andy Lau nominated for the Golden Statue Again. This is Andy Lau's first cooperation with Er Dongsheng as a director, and it is also one of the most well-received films among all the directors of Er Dongsheng. The outstanding performance allowed director Liu Weiqiang to find Zheng Yijian in 1999 to shoot "Chariot of Fire 2", just like the later "Dark War 2", which proved to be a "dog-tailed continuous mink" work.
86. "The True Love of Life on a Strange Journey" 1996
This movie and Andy Lau's early film "Doom" are the only two films that I have not seen in its entirety, so it is not convenient to comment here, only to know that this is Andy Lau and big B brother Zhong Zhentao, "the most beautiful Guo Xiang" Li Qihong, Singapore's king Li Nanxing co-starred.
87. "Heavenly Love" 1996
After "Tianruo Has Love for 2 Days and Long Days", director Du Qifeng invited Andy Lau back and formed a CP with Wu Qianlian to co-star in this "Tianruo Love 3 Beacon Lady". This movie feels a bit like "Gone with the Wind", but it is indeed the story of the prince and Cinderella staged under the skeleton of the atmosphere, with a feeling of large space but small focus. This time, Andy Lau and Du Qifeng cooperated quite well, and the box office of 14.46 million can only be said to be decent.
88. "New on the Beach", 1996
Some people say that it ruins the classic, some people say that it creates new heights, and it is this Pan Wenjie's "New on the Beach" that has mixed praise. The story of "Shanghai Beach" is familiar to everyone, as a popular drama that made many people stay at home that year, "Xu Wenqiang" played by Zhou Runfa is the only male protagonist in the whole story. However, the times have changed, and people are looking forward to seeking new changes, so the director has a flash of inspiration and makes "Ding Li" a new protagonist. This is a well-made Hong Kong HB film, Andy Lau, Cheung Kwok Wing, Tranquility, Wu Xingguo's acting skills are all online, in 1996, when the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series came out, "New on the Beach" ranked eighth in the year with a box office of 20.84 million. Andy Lau's appearance of a figure-eight beard and a cloak in the play reminds me of Al Pacino in the "Godfather" series.
89. "One-half bed together", 1996
After more than a year, Tianmu Company produced another movie, that is, this "Half of the Same Bed", for this reason, in addition to The highest paid Andy Lau, the two beauties of Guan Zhilin and Li Wanhua were invited, in addition to Tao Dayu, Ye Dexian, Guan Haishan, and Yuan Qiongdan. Andy Lau's interpretation of the love film is becoming more and more mature, but the flawed plot has not made the box office of this film improve, and the box office of 3.6 million has not brushed out the lower limit of "Sword and Laughter", but after this movie, Tianmu almost stopped film shooting, and the later movies "Made in Hong Kong" and "Last Year's Fireworks Are Particularly Numerous" were almost filmed with the remaining film of Tianmu.
90. "Heaven and Earth Ambition" 1997
Before the return of Hong Kong, Yongsheng made a large-scale film, "Heaven and Earth Ambition", for which the crew stayed in the Czech capital Prague for a long time. The combination of Andy Lau, Huang Qiusheng and Li Jiaxin wants to have good looks, acting skills and acting skills, but the story conception that is too detached from reality and the jump of Hong Kong and Prague for a while make the audience really uncomfortable, fortunately, the box office is OK, and the box office of 23.73 million ranks fifth in the year.
This is Andy Lau's 81st to 90th films, are there any films that impressed you, you are welcome to communicate with me.
