has been in the industry for 25 years and has made more than 100 movies. At the age of 50, Louis Koo finally won the best actor, and won two in less than 24 hours.

"From the audience to the podium, the distance is so short, it may be very close to many people, but to me, it seems that I have been so far away for centuries." In 1990, the sentence that Brigitte Lin Lin said when he won the Golden Horse Best Actress Award is also suitable for Louis Koo today.

"Can Louis Koo win the Best Actress" has actually been one of the old topics in the movie fan circle in recent years, although he has become the Best Actress twice.

Since leaving TVB in 2001 and joining the film industry, he has been nominated for the Academy Awards Awards twice for his outstanding performance in the movies, once for his Golden Horse Awards, and has also been nominated for the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival.

For example, in 2008, he was nominated for the Best Actor at the 52nd Asia Pacific Film Festival for " Keep Calling ", for the Best Actor at the 45th Golden Horse Awards for " A Good Dad", and in 2013, he was nominated for the Best Actor at the 33rd Academy Awards for " Anti-Drug ".

, but he ran with him many times and has never had a chance with the actor.

In the 12th "Asian Best Actor", the 48-year-old Louis Koo defeated the Duan Yihong , who was awarded the title of "Tokyo Best Actor" for " Blizzard is Coming " for " Blizzard is Coming ", and won his first film award in 25 years since his debut.

Netizens said that they finally waited for the day when his movie won the award.

In "Shapolang·Greedy Lang", he plays a single father whose daughter is kidnapped, wandering on the edge of explosion and collapse. In many large close-ups of the face, the heart-wrenching and blue veins burst out, and those who see it feel distressed.

In addition, he is not an action actor, but also challenges a lot of fighting scenes in the film, fist-to-heart, and refreshing, and can be called a lone hero who fights to the end.

Especially in the loneliness of Hong Kong films, " Greedy Wolf " reminds the audience of the Hong Kong films in their memory once again. Some people say that as long as the " Killing the Wolf " series is still filming, don't lie to me: Hong Kong movies are dead.

"Enjoy all-in-one, no bullying", this is what he used to inspire himself, and it seems that it is true today.

The annual Hong Kong Academy Awards will be here again. Regarding whether you have the confidence to hit the Academy Awards, Louis Koo, who has been shortlisted, said that everything will go with the flow.

This is exactly what he has insisted on for many years: "Do your own thing well, play your own role well, and leave everything else to fate."

18, he was in trouble because of careless friends. "At that time, I was loyal and willing to take on everything, but in return I became a robber in the eyes of others because of robbing a woman." I was finally sentenced to 22 months in prison.

Later, due to the need to make a living, Louis Koo became the manager of an advertising model company. He really couldn't find a model, so he went on it himself and slowly made his mark in the MV.

In 1993, he joined TVB and became a contracted artist. Until 2001, Louis Koo starred in 15 TV series including " Marriage Story ", " Full Moon Scimitar ", and " Genesis " during his 8-year drama filming career.

Among them, 3 of them have to be said, and two of them helped them win the King of the Vocational Trophy.

After running some supporting roles, Louis Koo starred in his first TV series to play the leading role at the age of 25, and it was also a TV series that changed his life - "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

In the drama, Yang Guo played by Louis Koo and Li Ruotong played by Xiaolongnu have become classic characters that cannot be surpassed by many post-80s and post-90s audiences. There are even sayings in the market that "after Louis Koo, there is no Yang Guo" and "I miss my life after seeing Yang Guo".

"The stranger is like a jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world." He also became famous with this drama and became the most popular TV actor at that time.

"Criminal Investigation Archives 4" released in 1999 is a very well-known criminal investigation drama on TVB. With this drama, Louis Koo won the TVB Million Star Awards Ceremony My Favorite Actor Award for the first time, becoming the youngest TV King in history.

In 2001, a costume time-travel science fiction drama produced by TVB was adapted from the novel " Searching for Qin Ji " of the same name by the master of martial arts Huang Yi . It was released immediately. As the originator of time-travel dramas, it instantly became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places.

To this day, the drama has long become a classic among classics. But this is also the last TV series Louis Koo starred in on TVB.

1994, Louis Koo starred in his first movie - "Hypermanent Men Become a Drum ". Of course, it starts with playing supporting roles.

From supporting roles to protagonists, Louis Koo, who has excellent appearance and acting skills, has gradually become one of the symbols of Hong Kong movies. During

, he was able to control familiar genre characters such as criminal actions and police and gangsters, but also played with many types of love, magic, comedy, costumes, literature and art. It can be said that he has performed so many characters and images, which are thousands of faces.

What is even more commendable is that Louis Koo's spirit of "working hard" has never been lost and has always been called a "model worker" in the Hong Kong film industry.

2014-2016, in just three years, he starred in up to 16 movies, which is equivalent to 5-6 movies every year. In particular, Louis Koo was injured in his leg while filming "Shadow Wolf 2". Before he could recover, he quickly started work and took advantage of the situation to film the romance film "Paris Holiday".

In 2018, 9 more movies starring or participating in the film will be released, including "The War of Tomorrow", the third part of the "Anti-Corruption Storm" series, "The Volcano of Wind and Forest", the film version of "The Legend of Qin", etc.

This makes people sigh, is this year going to be called the "Year of Louis Koo"? !

Regarding his high productivity, the media asked him when he would rest and settle down. He said that he prefers working, "Because he will get different experiences from them when he comes into contact with different directors, and can experience the life of the roles when he performs different roles. This is also a way to settle down."

So is he working so hard because he lacks money? It doesn't seem to be the case.

data shows that from 2013 to 2015, Louis Koo ranked first in the Hong Kong artist income ranking for three consecutive years. In 2016, he released movies in which all the box offices of " Legend of Gods ", " Acts Walker ", " Dangerous City " and " Anti-Corruption Storm 2" in mainland China can exceed 1.2 billion yuan in cash.

Although some movies have not high ratings (in fact, some are irrelevant to acting), he is even laughed at by netizens as the "king of bad movies".

Johnny To Director once advised him to take less acting and not to make bad movies, but he said: I want to film, and many people need me!

From the earlier Bai Gu to the present Hei Gu, his heart has always been red.

Although he is very rich, he is still using an old slider phone. Louis Koo, who is kind and generous, is always silently doing charity.

▲Lou Tianle actually used a flip phone to cover his phone, and was teased by netizens, "Did he live in the ancient tomb of Xiaolongnu?"

"In today's entertainment circle, I think Louis Koo is the most hypocritical person!" Zhuo Wei , known as the "paparazzi emperor", broke the news in an interview with reporters.

Why is Louis Koo the most "hypocritical" person in the circle?

Zhuo Wei further explained: Because Louis Koo secretly donated so many Hope Schools alone, and none of us knows that there are so many big and small things in the entertainment industry, no matter how many big and small things are, no matter how they are, Louis Koo donated so many Hope Schools, he did not notice Zhuo Wei at all. It can be imagined how hypocritical Louis Koo is!

Louis Koo’s education assistance dates back to 2008. After the Wenchuan earthquake that year, he learned that the earthquake caused many schools to collapse and the children lost their lives. In addition to heartache, he decided to establish the "Lou Tianle Charity Foundation".

In 2009, the first Louis Koo Primary School located in Lingjing Town, Teng County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was completed. But it was not until 2012 that his "poverty alleviation work" was exposed by the media, and at that time there were as many as 49 schools funded by him.

As of the end of 2017, in the name of the "Lou Tianle Charity Fund", he has donated and built more than 100 primary schools, 750 water cellars, and dozens of rural basic health and medical institutions in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, spending about 30 million yuan.

Faced with this "school-founding maniac" and "charity superman", some people said that this may be the greatest reason to take on bad movies.

Although it is for charity, some people still hope that he will not act in movies like "The Legend of the Gods" and "The Meow".

Each drama has its own destiny, and everyone also has their own script.

Do good deeds without being ostentatious, and do good deeds silently, but occasionally there are bad movies. Do you still have the heart to criticize him?

starts with appearance and is loyal to character.

If this is the case, or as people say, except for the sun, even the moon cannot blacken him.
