In 1978, 40 years ago. During this year, many familiar stars were born, such as Xiao S, Liang Jingru, Stefanie Sun, Xue Jianing, Li Yugang, Qin Hailu, Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki and Diving Queen Fu Mingxia.
1978 is the first year of reform and opening up. It can be called the year when the third historical upheaval occurred in China in the 20th century, and it was also the beginning of reform and opening up.
has no background, bravely rushed into the entertainment circle
But for a person, this year is very busy, very fresh, without light, only death. That was Andy Lau at the age of 17.
Andy Lau's ancestors were farmers. In order to have a better life, his father took their 6 siblings and moved to the city to run a small business. Six brothers and sisters in the Liu family helped carry water and wash dishes since they were young. After growing up, Andy Lau joked: I hate washing dishes most. Of course, he was also grateful for the poverty at that time.
's experience at that time benefited me immensely, enabling me to learn to live independently and take care of myself.
also because he moved to the city, Andy Lau received a good education. In middle school, he also joined the school drama club. The teacher at the time was Du Guowei, a famous drama teacher in Hong Kong. He saw Andy Lau's potential and took the trouble to guide Andy Lau on drama. In addition, there are screenwriters and behind-the-scenes production work.
Many years later, Andy Lau also wrote an article to thank the enlightenment teacher:
"If I were not for you, or I would not love acting so much today.
To run the dragon set, 120% of the hard work is required
In 1978, Andy Lau had just finished the sophomore course and signed up for the star training class with 7 friends. Only Andy Lau passed the exam. In the training class, he did not have a natural family advantage, and he did not have strong contacts when he first entered the entertainment circle. All his support can only be himself. Because of his excellent grades and handsome looks, he is liked by the supervisor very much. Take it to the set to run the dragon set.
Many characters have not seen their faces at all. This time, it has been three or four years. The later works have found Andy Lau's face.
In 1981, Huang Rihua was the protagonist of "Passing by" In the play, Andy Lau takes a role and plays a student.
In 1981, Li Siqi, Li Linlin and others starred in "Unparalleled Score" with Liang Jiahui Guest thief.
Also, there is only one dialogue role with Liang Jiahui. But being able to be on the same stage with Chow Yun-fat, it is estimated that Andy Lau was very happy at the time.
fage appreciation, seize the opportunity
Andy Lau’s first idol is Chow Yunfa, who is 6 years older than him. There is a lyrics in the 17-year-old song that specifically mentioned:
I remember the fourth brother and Fa brother had already met, and then the promotion of the protagonist was too sudden.
The fourth brother is Nicholas Tse’s father Xie Xian, and his qualifications are very old. The Fa brother was a few years earlier than Andy Lau. He has become a big hit with the role of Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Tan". Partners Wang Mingquan, Wu Mengda, and Ren Dahua are all big names, and they are ideal benchmarks for Andy Lau.
The acquaintance of Zhou Runfa and Andy Lau is also very interesting. Before entering the line, Andy Lau is actually an apprentice in a barber shop, so he always likes to help people get a haircut when he is fine on the set. Several times Chow Yun-fat saw a young man always give people a haircut on the set, and the haircut tools were taken out of his pocket. This happened. Chou Yunfa’s curiosity.
Zhou Runfa: "What do you do? "
Andy Lau: "I am an actor"
Zhou Yunfa: "You are an actor, how do you help others get haircuts?"? "
Andy Lau: "It just happens that I have skill. I will treat everyone's hair as it grows." "
Zhou Yunfa was very moved, so he remembered Andy Lau.
Another time, Andy Lau played his bodyguard in Chow Yunfa's movie, but Chow Yunfa was 1.8 meters tall, and Andy Lau was half his head.
In order to act more like it, Andy Lau put on 3-inch height-increasing shoes before the shooting, and accidentally slapped his foot. Fa Ge laughed after seeing it, but saw his efforts. When Andy Lau sent Zhou Yun If you learn from the experience, you will always mention one or two.
Andy Lau's dragon set is getting higher and higher, and the blows are getting more and more. Once I was fortunate to cooperate with Huang Qiusheng, Hua Tsai also cherished this opportunity very much, and I hope it will be well. Performance. But Huang Qiusheng criticized him for not having acting skills and a vase. This made Andy Lau very disappointed. After seeing that he was not in high spirits, Chow Yun-fat asked why, and showed him the Rolex watch on his wrist.
周润发: You can get a pay of about 100~500 for a play now. This Rolex will be an astronomical figure for you, but everything has a process. The most important thing to be a man is to be determined to yourself, and secondly, you must do your best .Just do your best. One day, there will be Rolex watches, and there will be all of them.
In those years when running the dragon set, Andy Lau would be very serious about any filming, and he took the initiative to take the dragon set that others did not want to run. Acting in dangerous action scenes that others dare not shoot. It doesn’t matter how many times he falls. Trying his best and fighting hard is the impression that Andy Lau gave before becoming popular.
"In the long days of running the game, I was not discouraged. Now that you have embarked on this road, you have to persist no matter how tired you are. Success is not inevitable, but hard work is necessary. The opportunity is here, see if you have made 100% effort. If so, you can do what others can do; you can also get what others can get. ”
In 1981, the 20-year-old Andy Lau ushered in his first solo TV series "Farewell Jiang Hu", in which he played Aaron, a small gangster who sells women for a living, and then starred in the comedy "Little Hero in the Flower Boat". Partner Ye Dexian starred in the fashion police drama "Falcon" and began to receive attention.
Here to mention Ye Dexian, she was a senior at the time, see Andy Lau took care of him very much when he just debuted in filming. Later, he also collaborated on many film and television works, many of which were mothers and children. Therefore, Andy Lau simply called Ye Dexian godmother. Andy Lau was also grateful. In the 2011 movie "Sister Tao", Ye Dexian played The servant who took care of Andy Lau since childhood, with years of tacit understanding, this film was very successful, helping Ye Dexian to win eight queen awards. Andy Lau even knelt down on one knee and awarded her the award. Thanks for so many years of care.
In 1983, starring in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yang Guo, who played the role, left a deep impression on the audience. Since then, with Huang Rihua, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei and Tang Zhenye formed the "Wireless Five Tigers" ", opened a splendid chapter in performing arts.
Most of his friends around him commented on him, "He can have today all by himself. Yes, he will seize every opportunity.”
For example, Chow Yun-fat recommended Andy Lau as the male number one in "Running into the Fury". The movie screen experience was opened.
Another example, because of being caught by TVB. Lin Zixiang asked him to try to sing. Although his voice and skills were not very good, he was humble and sincerely asked Lin Zixiang to learn. Lin Zixiang was also moved by Andy Lau's unyielding spirit and taught him how to sing well. He also devoted himself to researching. No one writes words for himself in all aspects of singing skills, so he can learn to write words for himself.
Among more than 500 songs, more than 150 are written by Andy Lau himself. He was once criticized by Huang Zhan for being a shit, he did not give up, he has been studying and tryingHe made great progress and created works with a high degree of singing, such as "Stupid Child", "Ice Rain", "Seventeen Years Old" and so on. After Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam, Andy Lau, with Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, and Liming, became the four kings of heaven, relying on the tenacity of hard work and hard work.
At the 29-year-old awards dinner, FANS is too crazy, come to listen to me singing a love song lyrics too classic.
A simple lyrics, behind Andy Lau's constant efforts day after day. Despite being a Uranus superstar, Andy Lau has not forgotten his state and mentality during his debut years.
He never does anything special on the set, and he eats, wears, housing and travels with the staff. Arrived on the set in advance, the lines were well understood, and the scene of the deletion of people was filmed. For the sake of reality, the group performers fanned their faces swollen.
In 2018, Andy Lau fell off his horse while shooting for an ad in Thailand. Although life-threatening, he resumed filming after half a year of recuperation.
But this half year was actually a concert, and it was pushed to the end of 2018. As a result, when singing the third song "If One Day", suddenly there was no sound. He burst into tears on the stage, apologized and bowed deeply to tens of thousands of spectators.
"When you hear my singing, you also know that I didn't take care of myself. In fact, the doctor just told me not to sing, but I really can't bear it. I can't help it. I don't want to."
For fans, Andy Lau always has the heart of a child. Because of a letter from a fan, he willfully held the concert to Urumqi. I once jumped down from a high platform for fans regardless of danger, and rescued fans from the crowd.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings, his singing voice is not as good as Jacky Cheung, not as handsome as Dawn, and not enough to dance Aaron Kwok, but with his heart, he ranked first. For fans, he worked hard to live up to expectations, and doing his best has become everyone's pride.
Don’t forget your original intention and work hard to become a habit
Since 1978, the registration of star training class began, Andy Lau Like to be called "Hua Tsai" by everyone. In addition to being humble, more is not forgetting the original intention. I saw an interview with Andy Lau by People's Daily. The reporter asked him what was the source of his efforts for so many years, and Andy Lau said something that impressed me deeply.
"It is enough to turn hard work into your own habit, you will not be under pressure.
From the beginning of his debut, for the ordinary him. Effort has long become his kind Habitually, in a complex place like the entertainment industry, it’s not enough to rely on appearance alone, so besides working hard, there is no way out.
It’s interesting to choose the "Excellence in 1978" Reform and Opening Cultural Industry In the selection of the "Award", Andy Lau won first place among the elites of the entertainment, director, and literary circles, Internet tycoons, and business celebrities.
Because of Andy Lau’s efforts, from 1987, Never stopped.
