I remember seeing a statement two days ago, some netizens said that Andy Lau is the biggest "net red" in 2021: in January, Douyin entered the tens of millions of fans, and many big coffee stars were proud of punching in the Huazai comment area; 6 CCTV Spring Festival Gala caused a sensation; on the pre-starring movie "Surging Crowds", Huazai platform did publicity plus CCTV media called for increased filming, and forced the film to change its life against the sky; the party's centennial birthday, a song "Pearl of the Orient" triggered a memory killing; "Goldfinger", "Wandering Earth 2", "Seven Saints" And other movie information has made countless fans and fans agitated and excited...
Thinking that Andy Lau is already a year old, and there is such a high popularity, it is indeed a bit envious and hateful. Someone once said: When my mother and father were young, Andy Lau was red; when I was young, Andy Lau was still red; now that my children are in college, Andy Lau is still red. In fact, Andy Lau can grow red for forty years, he is not smooth sailing, he has come this way, in fact, he has also been helped by many nobles.
Today, I combed through the top 10 nobles and have met since andro Lau's acting career since his debut, ranking in no particular order, in order of time sooner or later. If you have any other opinions, you are welcome to communicate with me.
10. Zhou Runfa
In 1980, a "Shanghai Beach" allowed Chow Yun-fat to usher in the peak of his career, and also got the opportunity to participate in the film "Run to the Fury Sea" by director Xu Anhua, but because the film was filmed on Hainan Island, going to the mainland to shoot a drama meant that Fa Ge had to lose the Taiwan market (at that time, the situation between the mainland and Taiwan was tense, and the Taiwan market was very important for Hong Kong artists at that time), Fa Ge remembered Andy Lau who had previously run a dragon suit with him, and it happened that Lin Zixiang also recommended Andy Lau. At this time, Andy Lau, who regarded Fa Ge as an idol, found Fa Ge, and when Fa Ge told him the reason, Andy Lau said angrily: Is my Taiwan market not important? Fa Ge did not give the fledgling Andy Lau face, and said unabashedly: How old are you, do you have a Taiwan market? See the Rolex gold watch I brought, which I have worked hard step by step. A word awakens the dreamer. Andy Lau participated in "Run to the Fury Sea", won the Academy Awards Best Newcomer nomination, and became one of the representative figures of Hong Kong films. After many years, he is still grateful to Zhou Runfa, who is also a teacher and friend.
9. Xu Anhua
Although Chow Yun Fat and Lin Zixiang both recommended Andy Lau, the person who finally decided to let Andy Lau play the second male protagonist of "Running to the Fury Sea" was the director Xu Anhua. Under the guidance of Xu Anhua, As a "first-year freshman" in the film circle, Andy Lau has dedicated his good acting skills, and ma Sichen has both been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Newcomer, although he lost to Ma Sichen's hands, but this experience has strengthened Andy Lau's confidence in the development of the film road. 30 years later, when Xu Anhua wanted to make "Sister Peach" but no one was willing to invest, she thought of Andy Lau, and as a result, Hua Tsai not only invested in the film but also starred in the film for free, which made Andy Lau crown the Golden Horse and Golden Statue Double Film Emperor for the first time with a movie. The original act of repaying favors and this harvest is really a benefit for several parties.
8. Lin Zixiang
Andy Lau is the double king of the film and the music world, and he was able to enter the song world, which is really inseparable from Lin Zixiang's suggestion. Hua Tsai, who had previously won Lin Zixiang's good feelings, always sang to this big brother in the song world at that time and let him point out one or two in his spare time when filming "Run to the Fury Sea", seeing Hua Tsai's serious face, Lin Zixiang began to cultivate Andy Lau from the most basic music knowledge in addition to pointing out his singing problems. After the filming of the movie, Hua Tsai often talked to Lin Zixiang, and Lin Zixiang was also very enthusiastic. In 1985, Andy Lau released his first album "Only Know That I Love You At This Moment", 5 years later he won the most popular male singer in Hong Kong for the first time, and in 1992, he won the title of "Four Heavenly Kings" and became the same music god as Lin Zixiang.
7. Ye Dexian
In the 1970s and 1980s, Ye Dexian was a star in the music and film and television circles, when Andy Lau, a wireless newcomer who had just entered the television circle, met her in the TV series "Falcon", in which they played mother and son and formed a deep friendship. Later, When Andy Lau encountered the "snow hidden" storm, Ye Dexian often comforted him and gave him encouragement. In the movies "Extra-Legal Affairs", "Legal Inner Affairs" and "Legal Inner Affairs Finale", the two played mother and son, and Hua Tsai said that Ye Dexian was the "mother" on the screen, a mentor and friend in life, and the two of them thus determined the "mother-child relationship". Later, whenever Andy Lau won the grand prize, Ye Dexian always congratulated him at the first time. When Andy Lau opened the concert, she was almost a must-see, running forward and backward as a "staff member". When Ye Dexian swept the major film festivals with the movie "Sister Peach", at the Golden Horse Awards, The picture of Andy Lau kneeling to distribute trophies to her was really moving.
6. Mei Yanfang
In 1984, at the third Hong Kong Rookie Competition, Andy Lau served as the emcee, Mui Yanfang was the invited guest, and the two handsome men and beautiful women met each other, and the friendship became deeper and deeper after that. In 1985, Andy Lau encountered the "snow hidden" storm, for 400 days there was no drama to shoot, when Mei Yanfang, who had vaguely become the "big sister" of the music world, ran around to work hard for Hua Tsai's comeback, and finally Hua Tsai jumped out of the wireless contract and made a big fist in the music world and film circles. In 1990, Andy Lau and Mei Yanfang co-starred in "Yoshiko Kawashima" as the number one male and female. In 1991, Andy Lau opened the Tianmu Film Company himself, and Mei Yanfang asked for low remuneration to star in his company's first film "91 Condor Heroes" to support it. When Andy Lau was criticized in the music world, it was Mei Yanfang who supported and comforted him. When Andy Lau was elected the most popular male singer for three consecutive terms, the happiest person was Amei. When Andy Lau switched to Art Energy Record, the eldest sister of the Hong Kong music scene at the time, Da Mui Yanfang, did not want to directly follow the transfer and gave Hua Tsai the greatest support. It can be said that Mei Yanfang is the one of all his friends who can be desperate for him. Hua Tsai's acquaintance with Mei Yanfang is a great blessing in his life, and their friendship has long been sublimated beyond tradition. When Mei Yanfang died of illness in 2003, Hua Tsai's heart ached badly.
5. Du Qifeng
In 1990, Andy Lau starred in the film "Heavenly Love" produced by Du Qifeng, although the film received a good box office and good reputation, but let Du Qifeng and Andy Lau feel a gap, Du SIR did not like Hua Tsai with idol baggage, so "Heavenly Love 2" replaced the protagonist with Aaron Kwok, and finally lost the box office. Therefore, before the filming of "Heavenly Love 3", Director Du re-examined Hua Tsai and asked him to play male number one. In 1999, when Hua Tsai, who had been in the industry for 19 years and whose acting skills were questioned, needed to prove himself, Director Du sent him a close-fitting script "Dark War", although it was a double male drama, but the image of "Ya Thief" played by Andy Lau in the play allowed people to see his acting skills and made him break the 0 record of the film emperor at the Academy Awards the following year. It was Du Qifeng again, in 2003, who sent the movie "Big Guy" to Hua Tsai and guaranteed the Hua Tsai Golden Statue Emperor Mei Kai twice. It can be said that Du Qifeng is a very important nobleman in Andy Lau's life.
4. Chen Yaochuan
"Forgetting Love Water", "Providence", "Thank You for Your Love", "Lovesickness", "True Forever", "Chinese", "Don't Say Love Is Bitter"... This string of Andy Lau's classic songs, the composer is a Taiwanese - Chen Yaochuan. Chen Yaochuan was once known as "Andy Lau's royal composer", Andy Lau can consolidate his position as the king of heaven, becoming a popular idol in the three places across the Taiwan Straits and the Greater China region, inseparable from Chen Yaochuan's good composition. However, after 2000, Andy Lau's focus shifted to film, and Chen Yaochuan also transformed into a music director, and there was very little cooperation between the two.
3. Anxiu Lee
Along with Chen Yaochuan, there is also "Andy Lau's royal role as a lyricist" - Lee An Xiu, the combination of Andy Lau + Lee An Xiu + Chen Yaochuan at that time can be said to be the "killer" of many awards ceremonies, this iron triangle won countless awards, so that Andy Lau's record sales ranked in the head position in the Hong Kong and Taiwan Heavenly Queen. After 2000, Anxiu Lee also composed well-known songs for Hua Tsai such as "Practice", "Black Bat Squadron", "Wishing you prosperity", "Everyone is No.1" and so on, and Anxiu Lee is still a senior executive of Andy Lau's current film company.
2. Chen Lan (Xiang Tai)
It is said that it is easy to add flowers and flowers, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. This is true, when In 1995, When Andy Lau, who was in debt of tens of millions of dollars in debt, was on the verge of bankruptcy and did not know who to borrow such a large amount of money, he thought of the boss lady of the original film company - Chen Lan (known as Xiang Tai, the wife of Xiang Huaqiang, the owner of Yongsheng Film Company). When he showed his intentions, Chen Lan did not say a word, directly issued a check for 40 million Hong Kong dollars and did not let Andy Lau make an IOU, and signed eight films with Andy Lau for each 8 million Hong Kong dollars, helping Andy Lau to pay off all his debts in just three years, to know what kind of astronomical figure 40 million in the 90s was, but Chen Lan's eyes did not blink, hesitated without hesitation, this is the big noble who helped Hua Tsai make a comeback.
1. Zhu Liqian
As Andy Lau's wife, since the establishment of a romantic relationship with Hua Tsai in the 80s of the last century, he has been silently supporting his man behind his back, and he does not have to pay for more than 20 years without regret to have a head day, it can be said that Hua Tsai owes her too much. Although she later got the title of "Heavenly King's Sister-in-Law", but more than ten years have passed, the two have never had a formal wedding celebration, for Hua Tsai she did not hesitate to give birth to a daughter at an advanced age, for Hua Tsai she did not hesitate to live in simplicity. She was originally a rich man but always simple, Andy Lau has the wonderful today, and Zhu Liqian has made great contributions. I can't think of any words to describe this great woman, and any nice word Zhu Liqian is worth it. This "Heavenly King Sister-in-Law" is also the favorite "Heavenly King Sister-in-Law" of countless Chinese fans. Put her first and don't ask why.
The above is my personal opinion on the 10 noble people in Andy Lau's life, welcome to add, comment area message.
