Andy Lau’s inspirational story

Andy Lau's Inspiring Story 1

A few days ago, the last sub-list of the "Chinese Performing Celebrities' Public Image Satisfaction" survey, "Chinese Performing Celebrities Commercial Value Report", was released, and Andy Lau ranked First. The report does not announce the income of celebrities, but looks at the value of celebrities in the eyes of the public based on criteria such as their public reputation, public trust, and public expectations.

Judging from this standard, Andy Lau's credibility should not be low for being chosen first. However, there are still some different voices on the Internet, saying that Andy Lau has what qualifications he has, given his age. And some media reports seem to coincide with this sentiment: "Beat Jay Chou", "Old King" and so on, are all telling the public that Andy Lau is no longer young, and today's "number one" status is a little too late. reluctantly.

Perhaps the author is overthinking. In a race against eternal time, people will inevitably sigh and be sad one day when their time passes. The faces of too many stars have long been blurred, their light has faded, and they have returned to plainness. In the face of ruthless time, is Andy Lau an exception? is an exception. Because time is also full of affection, it will give generous rewards to those who are diligent, persistent, and love themselves and others. It is destined to transcend the beauty and meaning of time. As we can see, at the last juncture of 20xx, Andy Lau is still "number one" in this report.

Jay Chou, who ranks second, has fully emerged and is creating his own entertainment era. Times make heroes, as has always been the case. In the entertainment arena, it will be more fun when new knights appear. But this does not mean that it is just around the corner for a young knight to surpass a certain person, or that it is inevitable in time. Jay Chou is a presence that cannot be ignored, and Andy Lau is of a higher level. I have always thought that finding a way to make a living in the entertainment industry and continue to stand up requires endurance and determination, and more importantly, some solid confidence. Otherwise, it would be easy to follow the saying: Those who come out to fool around will have to pay back sooner or later. So there is almost no surprise that Edison Chen became the "lowest" in this report.

The entertainment industry is also a mirror. The public's aesthetic orientation can be understood from a report. Andy Lau is not gifted, and his singing and acting skills may not be the best, but he is diligent, down-to-earth, and humble, and he does everything second best. In his own words, he adds up to being first. . In him, you can see the sincerity and beauty that are rare in the entertainment industry. It is not dogmatic or sensational, but is so real that it can be touched and can reach people's hearts. Naturally, he received the highest marks in terms of public reputation, trust, and expectations. This is the best compliment for an artist.

Time is of course a sharp carving knife. It sculpts our youth and freezes memories at a certain moment, even becoming classics. For many years, people are still listening to Andy Lau's songs, watching his movies, and reading news about him. What a legend. If youth can be immortal, then in the immortal youth, I believe many people will never forget that there is a handsome man who sings songs like "Forgetting Love Water" and grows up with them. Andy Lau's Inspiring Story 2

Although Mr. Andy Lau is an acting star, he has too many things worth writing about, such as his excellent personal qualities.

However, the media more often only write some nominal articles, interpreting Andy Lau as an entertainment star, just to win click-through rates and ratings. As a result, not only did they not discover deep-level things, but they also caused a lot of misread.

He said: "I am an overall artist. You ask me if my film has reached the first place? I have not. Has my singing reached the first place? I have not. My level is generally very average. , I am this type of artist, and I can only consolidate my achievements in the entertainment industry by doing everything well."

Andy Lau's meaning is very clear. He humbly said that he is not stupid. Talent, so seek omnipotence. So the media rushed to plagiarize materials and desperately tried to prove it, hyping up how difficult it was for Andy to grow up and how he could make up for his shortcomings through hard work. Some unscrupulous media even threw out Andy Lau's "stupid theory", giving those who like the truth and stories of saying things are easier said than done " Life Encouragement”. In fact, Andy Lau modestly claims that he is not the boss, nor does he put himself in the "second" position that always covets the "first". With his low-key, almighty, and aloofness, he is more like an "old man" who is enterprising and calmly making progress. three".

Although there is no competition for ranking, having the ability to become an all-rounder is a kind of genius in itself!

Anyone who is familiar with Andy Lau knows that one of his unique characteristics is that he keeps a low profile of his talents. For example, Andy Lau is very good at writing lyrics. Many songs and even famous songs are written by him, such as "Bingyu". "Love You Ten Thousand Years", "Enlightenment", etc., Hong Kong Beauty Huang? I once praised the lyrics of "Sleet", and "Enlightenment" is the pinnacle of Andy Lau's recent film songs. It talks about Buddhist principles in a profound and profound way, and has a long and Zen aftertaste. There is also Andy Lau's artistic vision and business vision. He can not only star in the pure art film "Sister Peach" and win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, but he can also invest in "Crazy Stone", "Hong Kong Production" and "The Ring" to discover a number of new directors. What is particularly worth noting is that Andy Lau's "Dark War", "Infernal Affairs 3" and "Big Brother", which won the Best Actor Award, are all highly commercial films, but they all defeated the most favored literary and artistic films at the award ceremony nominated for the same period. . Andy Lau is a humble and low-key person who does not compete with others. His handwriting is free and powerful, and his aura is breathtaking. His elegant temperament is common in civilized circles, and it is unparalleled in the entertainment industry.

However, the media rarely see these extraordinary things, and they are even deliberately blind. Someone once proposed the "old three philosophy" and used the award ceremony as an analogy: once you win a gold medal, you will be said to be unpopular once you fall to silver; if you lose gold, you will easily take the safe route and dare not stray too far from the past victory model. Far away, because I didn’t dare to take risks, I felt bored and surprised. Those who take silver will be ridiculed by the irony of always being inferior to others. It’s still the happiness of winning a copper, because it’s not eye-catching, and it doesn’t feel like a big defeat once you succeed. You can still shuttle between copper and iron without any pressure. You can also be more relaxed when making music. If you win a prize, you will get it. Not so sensitive, because the distance between the first child and the second child is wider than the distance between the third child and the second child.

From this "Third Son Philosophy", I can actually see another reason why Andy Lau has been misunderstood for a long time, that is, he is humbly called the Third, and he is really regarded as the Third! For a long time, the media has truly regarded Andy Lau's "third-place philosophy" with his deep philosophy, good qualities, and self-effacing attitude as the "third-place philosophy"! Being third does not mean that one is really third in strength. He often possesses the strength of first place and always works hard to be first, but he is humbled by being third and often stands the most stable and longest. From Andy Lau's use of the "Lao San Philosophy", we can learn that sometimes, you can win without fighting. A good attitude and hard work are the secrets why "Lao San" became the final winner.

Maschen and Miao Qian both looked at Lin Zixiang's face, and Andy Lau also looked like it. He understood what the two of them meant, but instead of being timid or embarrassed, he even said to Lin Zixiang: "I will sing two of your songs, please give me some guidance and advice!" "

Lin Zixiang listened attentively, and finally he praised Andy Lau and said, "Your voice is very special and magnetic!" If you have the chance in the future, come and play in my recording studio often! "

Everyone can tell that this is just a kind word from Lin Zixiang to Andy Lau, a junior, and he is not really inviting Andy Lau to his recording studio, but Andy Lau seems not to understand it at all. Just like a polite word, after returning to Hong Kong after filming, Andy Lau actually often went to Lam Zixiang's recording studio, sometimes to observe other people's creation and singing, and sometimes to try to show off his singing voice. Of course, Those who are closer to the stage get the better. In this process, he also received a lot of guidance and help from Lin Zixiang.

I would like to tell my own story first. I was born in 1961 in a rural area called Tai Po, a very, very old place in Hong Kong. When I was really young, I realized that I was very rich. I had peacocks in my family, more than two hundred pigs in my family, countless pigeons, and we also had a lot of land.

One day, when I was six years old, my father took me from the countryside to the city. He hoped that we could get in touch with the outside world. As a result, my grandfather was unhappy, and he felt that my father was not a very well-behaved child. As a result, when the family property was divided, my father did not. From that time on, I lived in a place called Diamond Head in the city. There are many, many very poor people living there in Diamond Mountain, and that place is all wooden houses. The reason why it is called Diamond Mountain is because everyone living there wants the place they live to be more upscale, so the name was changed to Diamond Mountain. My dad is a firefighter.

But did you know? Because of the wooden house, we face the possibility of fire every day. We have to remember where to put our ID cards every day. If there is a fire, we have to get in as soon as possible. Take the ID card and run away. One day, when I was about eleven years old, there was a fire in my house and we had to leave. We left the place where we lived and waited for a long time. After waiting for about a year, my father lived with us in a temporary house given to us by the government. Then after waiting about a year, we were able to get a stone house and we lived there. Every day, every day, we do many, many different things for our lives. It wasn't until 1980 that I participated in a training class. A year later, I performed very well and ended up signing with (Hong Kong) Wireless Television.

Today, I would like to ask you a question. Do you think Andy Lau is successful today?

Andy Lau is an artist deified by all the media. They all say that he is diligent, hard-working, and He will not do bad things, he can live to the age of fifty-two just by breathing without eating, sleeping, or drinking. But in fact, I am an ordinary person, and I am also nervous. Today I want to share the real me with you.

In 1981, I had just entered a training class in the entertainment industry. I already had a girlfriend at that time, and we had been together for more than three years. I think I have to be responsible as a man, so I work very hard in my training class and do a lot of things. Not only does it start at nine o'clock in the morning, I also practice dancing, somersaults, and many, many things at night.

Suddenly one day I received a phone call from my girlfriend whom I had not seen for four months. She told me: "Can you come out for a while?" I said: "For you. I'll definitely come out." Then eight hours later, I got an appointment with her. She made an appointment with me at a very romantic place in Hong Kong. That place is the top of the mountain. Looking down from that place, you will see a very beautiful Hong Kong. But before I had a chance to enjoy the scene, she told me: "Let's separate." I felt why at that time, I didn't do anything wrong, and she left before I could explain. I was standing alone on a very romantic mountaintop. I walked slowly down the mountain and walked step by step to a bus stop. Then I kept waiting from the bus stop. One bus passed, two buses passed, and three buses passed. I found a bus without so many people, and I got on. I was sitting in the last row, and I kept thinking, why is the result like this? The car ran forward, and my tears kept going backwards. You know what? The tears kept hitting the glass. There were a few people in front of me, and before they turned around, I wiped away my tears. Then when I saw (them) looking at me, I said, what are you looking at?!

In this way, my first love failed. .

Because of this failure, I focused on my work instead. As a result, I met my first success. I got my first opportunity to be the leading actor. I succeeded.

But there are really many kinds of success. I remember that in 1985, I had finished filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". At that time, I saw that Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat had developed very well in movies, and I really hoped to have the opportunity to make movies. Then I said to the company: "Can I shoot a TV series every year, and let me film movies (movies) at other times?" They said: "No."

I insisted on my choice, no Stay on TV. Then at that time, a group of people said to me: "Andy Lau, your choice is such a failure." But everyone's choice comes from the heart, so I just followed my direction and kept walking. Come on, I ended up bumping into "The Extralegal" and I bumped into "Carmen."

I came across "Heaven Is Loved". As a result, the same group of people said: "Oh, Andy Lau, your choice back then was so successful." In fact, who really has the final say in success? No one knows, but you have to remember that there is not only one way to succeed. I left the TV station. While I was working hard outside, there was one person who stayed at the TV station, and that person was Tony Leung. His achievements today are obvious to all. So you must remember to find the one that suits you best. Don’t copy other people’s successful examples indiscriminately. You must think clearly.

Successful people are usually very annoying, very annoying. I have seen too many of them. They are self-righteous, and they will tell you: "I want to be the most authentic version of myself." They think that their shortcomings are also part of the truth. But let me tell you, if you are spiritual, we can correct our shortcomings through acquired efforts. By that time, you will be a successful person who is both successful and lovable. Many people will tell you that we have to be naked in front of the mirror. Every morning when we face him, I ask him: "Who are you?"

"I am Andy Lau."

"Have you ever let yourself down?"

"Have you ever disobeyed yourself?"

"Have you ever deceived yourself?" < /p>

Ask once every day, then wake up, wash your face, clean it, then go out and give a smile to your family, give a smile to your neighbors, and give a smile to the people on the street Give a smile to a stranger, give a smile to those who have failed, and then you will find that the world is full of love. If the world was full of love, would all of us still be far from success? No.

With love, even if you fail, if you run to the street, someone will give you a smile and they will encourage you. There must be fewer successful people in this world than failed people. You have to remember that as long as we, a group of losers, can unite, we can definitely compete with those who succeed.

Today I am really lucky to have the opportunity to share this feeling with many young people here. If you encounter any problems in the future, I will be here. If you want comfort or a smile, I can give it to you. But remember, take good care of yourself and you will have a good future. Andy Lau's Inspirational Story 7
