In 2008, Andy Lau, who walked out of the "Yang Lijuan" incident, made the movie "Three Kingdoms Zhi Zhi See the Dragon Unloading Armor" that was then complained about and later recognized as a conscience work. On April 13 of the same year, Andy Lau won the Best Supporting Actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards that year with his outstanding performance in the first year's film "The Disciple", becoming one of the few stars among the giant Hong Kong stars to collect the Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the same time. Perhaps the thousand sails have been exhausted, Andy Lau himself has seen it, as long as he can do his part for Hong Kong movies and Chinese films, it is not important to participate in what he has participated in, and it is not important to participate in several performances, as he sang in the 2004 song "Chang Yan Dao": Gain and loss is only a thought of scenery does not turn the mood, troubles come from paranoia And everything is also attached, the wind and grass are chaotic, I am not chaotic, I surrender my ordinary heart and then follow the fate.
This year is the year of the Beijing Olympic Games, in the famous song "Beijing Welcomes You" mv, we can see more than a hundred stars from both sides of the strait and three places appearing, and even the "international friend" who was later eliminated by the Chinese market - Zhang Nala, but it is missing Andy Lau, the immortal king.
Some people say that because of the influence of yang Lijuan's incident, the official media did not invite him. However, when the Beijing Paralympic Games were held a month later, when Andy Lau and Han Hong sang the theme song "Fly with Dreams" for the opening ceremony, many people found out that Andy Lau was the ambassador of this Paralympic Games, and he had also paid 1.5 million yuan out of his own pocket to produce the Paralympic song "everyone is no.1". Compared with the generally concerned Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games have a low degree of attention, Andy Lau wants to help more people pay attention to the Paralympic Games and pay attention to the disabled athletes through his own efforts, and his Paralympic feelings began from the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, his care and help for Hong Kong Paralympic athlete Su Huawei, the Hong Kong Paralympic women's volleyball team, the Hong Kong Paralympic wheelchair fencing, and the Cause of the Chinese Paralympic Games touched the world, and he was appointed vice chairman of the Board of Directors of the China Disabled Persons Foundation. People like Andy Lau, not only because he is handsome, he is prolific, he is versatile, he is popular, but also because he deserves to be respected and learned by future generations from the outside to the inside.
After 2008, Andy Lau did many things, such as taking the initiative to play a small number of roles in the main theme films such as "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Great Cause of The Founding of the Party" for the promotion of Chinese films, starring in the movie "Sister Peach" for free to pay attention to the problem of old-age security for the elderly and fully investing in the theme movie "Sister Peach", in order to help and appeal to the whole society to pay attention to and pay attention to the abduction of women and children, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his image to star in the movie "Lost Orphans", and joined hands with Liang Chaowei to star in the movie "Goldfinger" again after 20 years of reviving Hong Kong films.
After 2008, Andy Lau also encountered many crises again, such as the hidden marriage incident that was afraid of the fans' sadness (fortunately, he finally got the understanding and blessing of the fans, and also upgraded to a "daughter slave"), such as helplessly starring in "Future Police" and "Tianji" to repay the debt of human feelings. Films with polarized box office and word-of-mouth such as Fuchun Mountain Residence Map, Macau Storm 3, and Ace Comic Ace, such as the aftermath of the Thai horse crash, such as the 2018 concert loss. Radiant superstars, there are always people with a critical eye to point out such and such shortcomings and deficiencies, can not be liked by everyone, but Andy Lau with his 40 years of cultivation of virtue to tell the world: there is no perfect idol, only the process of continuous efforts to improve and improve. When the end comes, all the merits and demerits are right and wrong, and posterity comments.
Now Andy Lau, in fact, does not fight, lying on the merit book can eat for a lifetime and bless future generations. However, his code of conduct does not allow him to stagnate, and to take a step forward is progress, and to stop is to go backwards. He is exploring a model, a mode of cultivation of artists with both virtue and art, which will have a huge impact on the future generations and the Chinese entertainment industry. I remember Jacky Cheung once said: Whenever I am tired and want to stop and rest, I see that Andy Lau is still in front, and I have to keep catching up. Such a spur comparison is a blessing for the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it is also a blessing for the Chinese entertainment industry. In recent years, although Jacky Cheung and Dawn among the Four Heavenly Kings have gradually faded out, we have seen the hard work of Aaron Kwok and Gu Tianle with Andy Lau as the coordinates. Just imagine, if the idols in the Chinese entertainment industry have all retired from success, but none of the descendants can stand up, how terrible it is to lack high-quality idols. Look at the recent traffic stars in the entertainment industry frequent accidents, there is such a high-quality idol in front of you, why not cosplay it!
National first-class actor He Bing once said in "After the Wave": You can make thousands of friends worth toasting just by relying on the same hobby, you have the right we dream of - the right to choose, what you love is your life, you are fortunate to meet such an era, but the times are more fortunate to meet such you, I look at you with respect, pay tribute to your professional attitude, you are turning the traditional into modern, the classic into the popular, the academic into the public, Turning the nation into the world, you turn your love into a cause of sharing happiness with thousands of people, pay tribute to your self-confidence. This word is still in the ear, but also hope that the entertainment industry's back wave can catch up, perhaps for the excellent entertainment industry back wave, we will not follow and will not be obsessed, but we will support you to fly in the wind with an appreciative eye.
On July 29, 2021, Andy Lau broadcast the celebration of his debut 40 years on a platform, remembering that there was a sentence in the promotional film: A person who can seriously do what he loves for 40 years deserves to be seriously loved by a group of people for 40 years. This is a summary of Andy Lau's first 40 years, for many fans, Andy Lau's 40 years is just a node in his acting career, and in the many years to come, we also hope that Andy Lau can do more things. Although Andy Lau is no longer young, for fans who have loved him for many years, they dare not imagine that without Andy Lau's works and news, they only rely on the previous films and sounds to remember Aidou's life. In any case, we all hope that Andy Lau can do what he said in his 2010 song "Cherish the Stage": cherish the stage and do not leave easily.
End the series with Andy Lau's cover song "Applause Rings Out": When the applause rings out, I understand more in my heart that your love will be with me. The applause rang out, and my heart understood better, and the songs intersected with you and my love.
