Andy Lau, one of the four kings, has made hundreds of movies since the film for decades, some with good reputation and some with bad reputation, and the quality is different.
However, there is such a movie, Andy Lau personally admitted: "I regret shooting this movie very much." The name of this movie is "Love Destiny", and it is attributed to this movie that Hua Tsai has always been grumpy.
"Love Destiny" mainly tells the story of Lai Xuejin (Played by Andy Lau), the only son of the Lai family, the richest man in Hong Kong, who is rich and handsome, and does not cherish the love that is easy to get. This time, he and a girl who have known each other for a month, Qingwen (Qu Ying), held an engagement ceremony on a luxury passenger ship.
Qingwen has an extraordinary temperament and a decent conversation, and meets the waiter Zhang Lewen (Huang Lei) on the boat, because the two have the same background and are unrestrained together, so Qingwen's heart gradually moves closer to Lewen, and she thinks that Lewen is more suitable for her, even if there is no money.
This matter is known to Li Xuejin, and once he deliberately asked LeWen for a stubble, but another person on the ship, Hongye (Hikaru Ishida), stepped forward and confronted Li Xuejin. Li Xuejin had never been confronted by the mother's womb, and Hongye's straightforward personality of public ridicule and lessons deeply attracted him.
Later, the two had many disputes and quarrels, but in the process they learned each other's advantages, began to reconcile and gradually developed feelings. Later, Hongye told the truth about his bankruptcy, Li Xuejin wanted to help Hongye, but Hongye put forward conditions saying: only by passing the test will he accept help.
After three days of happiness without Qian Dan, Li Xuejin helps Hongye complete her dream, and finally has a lover who finally becomes a family member.
From the perspective of plot story, the story plot and points of view of this movie are very much. The cast is also quite strong, Andy Lau, Huang Lei, Qu Ying, and Hikaru Ishida are all big stars of the year, the director is Qiu Litao of Hong Kong, and the screenwriter is the famous Huang Baiming.
Even nearly 20 years later, the rating of the show X valve gave 5.7 points, X News gave 7.3 points, X Qiyi gave 8.4 points, which is also a good movie.
It is said that the box office of the show is also quite good. Andy Lau has more films under his hands than "Love Destiny", why do you have to worry about this movie alone?
Years later, In an interview, Andy Lau told the truth! It turned out that at that time, his company encountered some financial problems and urgently needed a sum of money to solve the crisis, just when the producer of the show gave a high price of 10 million yuan, which was the first time he took so much remuneration, and he did not hesitate to take over the show.
The film was almost all shot on the boat, but when it was on the boat, it found that the scene was extremely chaotic, and even many people did not know that they were here to shoot the scene, only that they were here to play. After so many years in the industry, Andy Lau has never seen such a situation.
Later, Hua Tsai learned that the original crew gave him most of the funds and did not have money to invite group performances. Because the price of inviting "group performances" and inviting "masses" is not the same, only some people can be invited to the boat to play and act as "group performances".
This matter touched Andy Lau a lot, that is, from then on, Andy Lau will not take a movie for money, but for this movie, he will take this part of the money.
All along, Andy Lau has been the author's idol, not how good his scenes are and how good his singing is! It is because he has been working very hard, and movies and music are not the most prominent in Hong Kong at that time, but he can "stay" to the end every time, which is inseparable from his dedication and mentality.
In the late 1990s, Hong Kong cinema ushered in a period of decline, and many Hong Kong film stars wanted to go to Hollywood. Andy Lau as a counterpart to Jackie Chan and Jet Li, why didn't he do it?
He once said: The Chinese have always been in a weak position in Hollywood, why do we have to go there to make movies, make a movie ourselves, and it is not better to break into Hollywood!
With this persistence, "Infernal Affairs" was released later, and the results of this movie do not need me to say more! Therefore, a person who shoots film and television dramas for money and fame is not the same as a person who shoots film and television dramas for literature and art.
What do you think about that?
