Andy Lau: A Real Idol

In 1990s, Chinese mainland was blown everywhere by the literary style of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

On the stage of 1993 CCTV Spring Festival Evening, a song "Forget the Water of the Year" made him famous at one fell swoop. Since then, many people in China have known the name of this young Hongkong man.

His name is Andy Lau.

Everyone's youth will have traces of Andy Lau, especially the generation after 80s and 90s.

Recently, the video of "40 Years of Andy Lau's Debut" was refreshed.

In the video, he said, "198 1 is a normal day, and I made my debut."

Plain words concisely sum up 40 years of artistic experience, and finally converge into one sentence: "It is not to celebrate 40 years of fame, but to celebrate 40 years of serious work."

Suddenly, he has been with us for 40 years.

In these years, there are stories that can't be told for three days and three nights in everyone's life trajectory.

And between us and Andy Lau, there are many endless stories.

Some people say that Andy Lau's fans occupy almost half of China.

Even if you don't know him, you must have seen his movies and listened to his songs.

After 40 years of debut, he has been influencing people and fans around him with his personal actions.

He taught us to be ourselves.

Speaking of Andy Lau, I can't help thinking of a poem "Miscellaneous Poems" by Tao Yuanming:

"absolute beauty, a day is difficult. It is necessary to encourage in time, and time waits for no one. "

Once Andy Lau was interviewed and talked to the host about filming.

He said that he didn't understand why punctuality became an advantage for actors now.

Moreover, he also shared his experience in filming with other Hong Kong actors.

He said, isn't punctuality supposed? How can it be an advantage?

From these details, we can see that Andy Lau is a very self-disciplined person.

There was once an article about Andy Lau, who was completely "deified", unable to eat, drink or sleep.

Is that really the case?

Andy Lau said, I am just an ordinary person. I will experience what everyone has experienced.

He once said, "Don't let anyone's eyes define your success and failure."

In fact, in the past few years, he has been working with such a belief.

Andy Lau has a set of time standards tailored for itself. Starting from six o'clock every morning, exercise, eating, meditation and practice are all arranged to the brim.

And this set of standards, he insisted on for decades, which is why he is over 60 this year, but his spirit is as good as many young people.

If a person has a self-disciplined life, why should he worry about living a bad life?

He taught us responsibility.

Andy Lau in life is like this, and he is famous for his dedication in his work.

According to statistics, Andy Lau has made 125 records so far and won 400 music-related awards. Including countless awards for the most popular male singer.

In terms of movies, he starred in more than 200 movies. According to the protagonist, he is currently the highest-grossing male artist in Hong Kong and has won numerous awards in the entertainment industry. Only the best actor is soft.

However, his achievements today did not fall from the sky, but his own efforts day and night.

Lu You has a well-known poem, which must have been read by many people:

"The ancients learned nothing, and they were old when they were young. I feel that on paper, I never know if this should be done. "

Andy Lau, 20, saw through the essence of life early, so from the moment he stepped into the entertainment circle, he set diligence, modesty and dedication as his goal.

In the hottest year, Andy Lau made 12 plays. Although he only sleeps for two hours every day, he is never afraid of pain or tired. Even many roles were done by himself.

As we all know, Hong Kong gangster movies are excellent, and Andy Lau has played many just police roles. There are some fighting scenes in the play, and it is inevitable to get hurt when slapping the play.

In the process of filming the warlords, his little finger was caught by the chain, which led to a fracture and later lifelong disability.

While filming Di Renjie's Empire, an action scene caused his face to be injured and almost disfigured.

When shooting Shockwave 2, a blasting shot caused a palm injury.

I experienced pistol shooting while filming Full-time Black Boy. Fortunately, it was an empty shell, and I was not hurt.

Who is he? Andy Lau, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong.

These dangerous scenes, he could have used body double, just a word, but he didn't.

Every dangerous scene, you go into battle in person, and sometimes you get hurt. You just do some simple dressing and go to work at once.

The actors he has worked with have the deepest impression on him: super professionalism.

Xinhuanet once commented on him like this: "Andy Lau is a model of entertainment artists in China, a model of diligence and a representative of spirit."

This is the most pertinent evaluation of Andy Lau. His lifestyle and attitude of waiting for work are worth learning.

He taught us warmth.

Andy Lau's fans span a great age, ranging from old people in their fifties and sixties to young people in their twenties and thirties.

Fans love Andy Lau, and Andy Lau dotes on fans.

Andy Lau and his fans have a 30-year agreement. He once said in an interview that he started taking photos of his works from 199 1 and planned to share them with fans when he was 60 years old.

A few days ago, the official Weibo of Huazai Tiandi began to broadcast behind-the-scenes recordings.

Fans were also greatly moved, saying that he remembered something he had forgotten and had begun to honor his promise.

A fan who lives in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia once wrote a letter to Andy Lau, saying that he was too poor to go to his concert in his life. He also said that he hoped that Andy Lau would not change his name in his next life, and that he would save money to go to his concert.

Andy Lau was deeply moved when he received the letter. At that time, he and his team were preparing for the national concert tour in 2007.

After reading this letter, he decided to make the first stop of the concert in Hohhot.

There is a sentence in Xu Tingyun's Ode to Bamboo in the Northern Song Dynasty: "There was a festival before it was unearthed, and Lingyun went unintentionally."

No matter how tall bamboo grows, it keeps an open and humble attitude.

This is perfect for Andy Lau. He always treats his fans with the most humble attitude and treats people around him with the most humble attitude.

Wang, who worked with him in the film world without thieves, once said in a program:

Before filming, they met in the backstage toilet. It's the first time for Wang to touch the voice-activated faucet, and he doesn't know how to use it.

After Andy Lau saw it, he washed his hands and turned out of the toilet. He turned back and washed his hands under the tap again.

Wang didn't understand the usage of the faucet until he saw it, which eased his embarrassment.

At that time, Wang was still an unknown actor, and Andy Lau was already a popular superstar, but he didn't have any airs. Let Wang, who suffered from cold eyes in the entertainment circle, feel warm and remember the original details after many years.

There are many, many such examples ...

Andy Lau has a very good reputation in the circle. He helps his friends in trouble. He gave generously to take care of the new actor. He never fights. No matter on any occasion, you can feel the personality charm like spring breeze from him.

He taught us to go back.

Andy Lau's achievements today are mostly the result of his own efforts and self-discipline.

But he never attributed all the credit to himself, but to society.

And his way of giving back to society is to keep doing charity.

Andy Lau's charity fund was founded in 1994, and few people know about it, because it has never made social donations.

It was not until the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 that star artists gave generously, and his charity slowly came into people's sight.

Andy Lau's charity trip is always unknown.

199 1 year, the biggest natural disaster occurred in East China. During May and June, serious floods occurred in 18 provinces in China.

Andy Lau donated 5 million yuan for disaster relief.

In 200 1 year, Inner Mongolia suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm, and Andy Lau donated 2,000 pieces of wild silkworm clothing worth 400,000 yuan.

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Andy Lau donated 654.38+10,000 yuan without knowing the severity of the disaster. Later, with the further expansion of the disaster, he began to unite the stars of the three places on both sides of the strait to carry out disaster relief activities.

At that time, he personally wrote a poem "Commitment" and raised 39 million Hong Kong dollars. He was so excited that he knelt down and thanked the artists and friends who cared about him.

Later, he also took out his own torch and passed the Olympic flame in Hong Kong for auction. In the end, all 6.5438+0.9 million yuan was donated to the Sichuan earthquake-stricken area for education funds.

20 10 Yushu earthquake, Andy Lau participated in the "Love Yushu-Caring Action" relief charity performance, and raised HK$ 35 million for the disaster-stricken areas.

According to a rough estimate, the donation of Andy Lau Charity Foundation has exceeded 500 million. But after doing so many good deeds, he never took credit, but stood up silently when people needed him.

Moreover, Andy Lau has been very concerned about the cause of the disabled in recent years.

In 2007, he wrote a song "EveryoneIsNO. 1" for the Beijing Paralympic Games, and shot a MV at his own expense 1.5 million to encourage more disabled people to stand up bravely.

20 1 1, Andy Lau was elected as the vice chairman of the third Council of the China Foundation for the Disabled.

Andy Lau has been popular for 40 years. Many people have Andy Lau's mark in their first half life from birth to marriage.

He shines to the sun and brings light to people around him.

He practices and tells everyone how to be a qualified "idol".

Even after 40 years, Andy Lau will still be a "superstar"!
