Speaking of Andy Lau, we all know that he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings . He has a very high status and outstanding achievements in film, television and singing. Therefore, although he has been in the industry for nearly 40 years, he is still well known by the majority of the audience. favorite.
But in fact, the reason why everyone, including me, likes Andy is not just because of his "Forgetful Water" and "Infernal Affairs", but because he has always given people positive energy since his debut in 1981. His image is modest and serious. Although he has become a king-level figure, he has never put on any airs with the audience and people in the industry. This alone has completely overwhelmed most people in today's entertainment industry.
The longer I stay in the entertainment industry, the more I can see the people around me. In the 38 years since Andy Lau's debut, he has worked with countless opponents and has seen countless people, and Lin Jiadong is undoubtedly the person he has seen most clearly. Precisely because he knows how good Lin Jiadong is, Andy Lau will continue to spare no effort to praise him until Lin Jiadong wins the throne of Best Actor.
When Andy Lau invested in making movies in the early years, due to the sluggish market and his lack of vision, the films he selected and produced basically failed at the box office and no one watched them. As a result, he also faced the bankruptcy of the company, and his people fled. They ran away, but Lin Jiadong didn't leave. His reason was very simple. He was committed to Andy Lau, the boss, and he would go wherever he went. So in the following years, the two people have been inseparable. If Andy Lau is there to eat, Lin Jiadong will never go hungry.
Andy Lau and Lam Jiadong were both students of Hong Kong's "Radio Artist Training Class". The former was a student in 1981 and the latter was a student in 1988. Although they are 7 years apart, they have been filming in the same company (TVB) since their debut, so they can be regarded as brothers in the same school. But compared with his senior brother Andy Lau who came from a wealthy family and was at the peak of his career, the experience of his junior brother Lin Jiadong is quite sad.
Lam Ka-Tung was born in a housing estate. Many Hong Kong films have been shot in this place. For example, the filming location of "Poison Commandment" is Lam Ka-Tung's birthplace. His parents spent most of their time working hard to make money to support their family. Because of the lack of company, Lin Jiadong was shy and withdrawn when he was a child. Watching TV became his only hobby. He especially liked to imitate the characters on TV, which gave him the opportunity to sign up for a radio artist training class.
Andy Lau spared no effort to guide Lam Jiadong, and Lam Jiadong repaid his kindness. However, he has not been a leading role in many years. It is not that he has no chance, but that Lam Jiadong is not confident. He is afraid that if the starring role fails, he will be sorry for Andy Lau, his boss and brother. Andy Lau invested in him, but he was afraid of losing money and sorry for Andy Lau, so he always refused to be a starring role.
Although Andy Lau is as close as a brother, he does not compete for fame or profit . Lin Jiadong refused to fight, so Andy Lau decided to fight for him. He spent a lot of energy and tailor-made "The Storm" for Lin Jiadong. Andy Lau was very attentive to the movie and envisioned a big scene. This time he would praise Lin Jiadong no matter what. Be the protagonist.
Movie tycoon Jiang Zhiqiang took a fancy to the script and was willing to invest, and he was willing to set no additional investment limit based on Andy Lau's vision. However, he had no confidence in Lin Jiadong and asked Andy Lau to participate. Finally, under the pressure of capital, Lin Jiadong became the second male lead. Not long after, Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong terminated their contract, and public opinion was in an uproar, thinking that the two had fallen out!
In fact, it is just the opposite. The contract was terminated precisely because of the good relationship. The "Storm" incident tells us that the good relationship between the two has limited Lam Jiadong's performance to a certain extent, because to a certain extent, Lam Jiadong is Andy Lau's shadow. Everyone knows that if Lin Jiadong and Andy Lau are asked to help, everyone's focus will naturally not be on him. Put it on Lin Jiadong.
So Andy Lau decided to terminate the contract with Lin Jiadong and let Lin Jiadong develop freely, so that Lin Jiadong can develop better! The termination of the contract is to allow good brother Lin Jiadong to take off better.
Andy Lau has very high demands on himself and wants to do a lot. As for Lin Jiadong, Andy Lau is still very demanding. He doesn't want Lin Jiadong to just be an actor. He hopes he has his own career. After
came out, Lin Jiadong had his own film company, but still maintained his cooperation with Andy Lau. It was a collaboration without a contract. Hard work pays off, and talents will never be left behind. In 17, Lin Jiadong finally won the "Best Actor at the 36th Academy Awards" for his role in "The Big Tree Catches the Wind".
He has missed out countless times, but after 30 years of hard work, he finally realized his wish, which is gratifying.
Many people like Andy Lau. Most of them are because of his character. He became one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" back then. In fact, Andy Lau does not have many outstanding qualities. He is not as handsome as Dawn . He is not as handsome as Aaron Kwok can dance. No Jacky Cheung can sing.
But there is one thing about him, that is, there is nothing he can't do. He can't study hard if he sings or dance. In order to make the concert perfect, he can rehearse and perform alone on the stage.
He has nothing special, but he is very hardworking. Among the four kings, Andy Lau has the most concerts and the most film works. As many people have said, I am nothing special, but I work hard.
In fact, there is another thing I like about him, and that is his character. It goes without saying how good Andy Lau's character is.
In the movie " Chasing the Dragon ", Zheng Zeshi said something before his death in the play: Brother Luo, I will follow you again in the next life. In fact, this is not a line, it is Zheng Zeshi's true inner words. If it were not for Andy Lau, Zheng Zeshi might not have the chance to appear on the screen again.
Although Lin Jiadong is now the best actor, the most frequently asked question in interviews with reporters is still about Andy Lau. Although it seems unfair to him, Lin Jiadong will still calmly say to reporters: "He He is my idol, and I choose him because he can always break through. This is my dream. I don’t need to be the male lead, but I hope that I will change every step of the way. He is very good to me and has given me a lot. Opportunity. So I can’t let him down and lose face.”
