Celebrity idol, but even the Chinese King with such huge popularity was ignored when awarding an award to a Korean boy band.
In 2014, as one of the most influential celebrities in China, Andy Lau was invited to attend the MAMA ceremony as an award guest. When Andy Lau presented the award to EXO, Andy Lau slightly bent over and handed over the trophy with both hands. As the winner, the little fresh meat But he ignored Andy Lau and took the trophy with one hand. The expression on his face was even more disdainful. The performance of both parties formed an extremely sharp contrast.
Although EXO was known as the most popular boy group in Asia at the time and was extremely popular, as soon as the video was posted on the Internet, it caused an uproar and put the so-called hottest boy group in dire straits. , and later, amid condemnation from netizens, the young star publicly apologized in front of the camera.
But even after the apology, the boy group's reputation was negatively affected. Even now, some netizens have asked "What is EXO", but today Andy Lau is still the most popular and influential "Ivy League" in the entertainment industry.
In 1999, "People's Daily" selected "The 100 Most Influential Chinese People Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China". Andy Lau was the only star shortlisted in the entertainment industry, which shows his status and influence in the hearts of people across the country.
Someone once said: You have not experienced that era, so you have no idea how popular Andy Lau was at that time. But the fact is that even those of us who have not experienced that era will be surprised to see Andy Lau's current popularity and that he can be so popular forever!
It is relatively normal for a star to be popular in the entertainment industry for three to five years, but it can be said to be very rare to be popular for forty years and still not slow down. People can't help but ask, how popular is Andy Lau? What kind of charm does it have? I think it has a lot to do with him. Maybe he is not the best actor or the best singer.
But when it comes to artists who are diligent, hard-working, versatile, responsible and responsible, Andy Lau must be in the front row in the entertainment industry. After 40 years of debut, it can be said that he has almost no scandals or negative news. He relies entirely on his own strength. He stabilized his "ivy tree".
Nowadays, most people are accustomed to judging whether a star is popular based on the number of people attending a concert and ticket sales.

After learning the news, many well-known Internet celebrities expressed their intention to send gifts in the live broadcast room, and some well-known Internet celebrities Hong directly made a bold statement: I want to give Hua Tsai a gift of 30 million.
It can be seen from this that Andy Lau, who is 60 years old, is still as popular as he was back then. This is the real "popularity".
Some netizens commented that "one actor in ten years, Andy Lau in one hundred years." There are few people in the entertainment industry who can get such a high evaluation, which shows how charming Andy Lau is.

Comedy actress Sandra Ng openly confessed that after working together, she felt like falling in love with Andy Lau. The famous mainland Chinese actress Liu Tao also said in an interview, "Isn't it every actress's dream to make a movie with Andy Lau? "Such a sentiment.
Andy Lau can be loved by so many celebrities. It can only be said that Andy Lau's personal charm is really too strong. Of course, if the love of female celebrities is simply due to the admiration of too many people, then Andy Lau's conduct in life The responsibility is also obvious to all.
Before he became famous, Andy Lau was a very diligent and down-to-earth person. In his early years, Andy Lau was just a new actor. When he was 16 years old, his first job was as an ordinary barber in a hair salon. By chance, due to the needs of the crew, there was no suitable barber because it was too early. He asked Andy Lau to give Eric Tsang, who was already well-known at the time, a haircut.
was able to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, not because he was acting, but simply to cut an actor's hair. It's no wonder that Eric Tsang praised Andy Lau at the first sight and directly said, "Young man, you will be popular."
Well-known director Zhang Yimou has collaborated with Andy Lau twice, once in " House of Flying Daggers ", and again in " The Great Wall " more than ten years later. Zhang Yimou is also considered one of the top directors in China. With him There are countless stars who have worked with him.
However, Zhang Yimou was very impressed by Andy Lau and gave a very high evaluation. Not only did he repeatedly praise Andy Lau's status at work, he pointed out that Andy Lau was very dedicated and professional during his work, and even called him "the most senior person in China" "One of the actors", "Ivy League" and "model worker", otherwise how could he take the initiative to find Andy Lau to participate in this big-budget movie more than ten years later?
Just like Andy Lau humorously asked Zhang Yimou who was sitting in the audience at a Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards award night, Andy Lau said: I have worked with director Zhang Yimou twice, and I didn’t expect that he would ask me to film after more than ten years. Do you really think I can be famous for that long?
The answer is yes. Otherwise, if it were not for the actors that Director Zhang Yimou attached great importance to for more than ten years, they would have been forgotten long ago. It would be impossible to work together again, let alone receive such high praise.
In addition to work, Andy Lau's life is also very enviable and interesting. As a king-level boss with matching strength and achievements, Andy Lau did not choose to live a high-profile and luxurious life, but lived an ordinary life in a very low-key manner.
On May 6, 2022, Andy Lau, who had celebrated Labor Day, could not stop the pace of his labor. He posted a video on social platforms of himself doing housework barefoot and wearing loungewear at home. He skillfully used tools and neatly Mopping the floor, the simple and simple image contrasts sharply with the glamor on the stage.
People say that the king also has to do housework at home, and the king is not much different from ordinary people. Some sharp-eyed netizens found out that the price of the bed in the bedroom of the king is around 2,000 yuan, compared to other celebrities who often cost tens of thousands. Buying imported luxury, Andy Lau's series of real-life daily life can be said to be very "down to earth".
Of course, after Andy Lau worked hard to mop the floor, the floor looked brand new. From here we can also see that Andy Lau is also a very careful and focused person in daily life. Andy Lau has always been protective of his family and personal emotions. His performance is very good, so everyone doesn't know much about his private life, but through these videos, we can clearly feel Andy Lau's responsibility for his family.
After all, there are only a handful of male stars who have fame and fortune in the entertainment industry and can still do housework at home and do housework so skillfully. I wonder if the female stars who express their admiration for Andy Lau will be more "jealous" of us. Where is the Queen’s sister-in-law?
Speaking of Andy Lau's responsibility and responsibility, it must be inseparable from his sincere patriotism. Andy Lau's love for the motherland and compatriots is obvious to all.

Everyone knows that Andy Lau’s academic qualifications are not very high and he has been out in the society to make a living very early. But more often than not, we should not just focus on academic qualifications and engage in "scholarly theory". We should also see what kind of person he is and what he has done. What things. If a person has a high degree of education but does not love his country or his compatriots, will such a person be respected? It must be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats it.
Although Andy Lau does not have a very beautiful academic qualification, the value he creates can no longer be measured by a certificate.
Every time a disaster occurs, Andy Lau will do his best to donate his love.

When everyone was surprised, Andy Lau appeared at the Paralympic Games and even funded the production himself. Paralympic song.
In fact, Andy Lau has done far more charity and public welfare than these. Even though everyone knows that Andy Lau has been doing charity for many years, few people know that Andy Lau was re-elected as the vice chairman of the China Disabled Persons Welfare Foundation in 2016. It can be seen that He is really not sloppy when it comes to charity work, and he has been working hard for a long time. Through this, we can see Andy Lau's care and concern for his Chinese compatriots.
In addition to caring for his compatriots, Andy Lau can also be regarded as a model in the entertainment industry in terms of patriotism. When Hong Kong returned to in 1997, many people felt that people were panicking and chose to immigrate, but Andy Lau stood up to public opinion.

It is highly valued by the industry. The Golden Horse Awards can also be regarded as a highly respected award. For a For the actor, this was a confirmation of his career, but because some people with ulterior motives aroused the anger of the Chinese people at the awards ceremony, Andy Lau took the lead in canceling his registration for the Golden Horse Awards and said, "Please do not challenge the country's bottom line." Show your firm stance.
Art has no national boundaries, but artists can. In the face of major issues of right and wrong, especially when it comes to national interests and the bottom line, Andy Lau has set an example very well. He is in a high position but never forgets his true nature and always remembers his identity as a Chinese. This is what an artist and a public figure should do.
