Andy Lau's role in movies has changed more and more in recent years, from Slimming Men and Women to Men of Wisdom and this time, Wait till You Grow Up. What are Andy Lau's new ideas about family and marriage after starring in the movie "Wait till you get older" with the theme of family? After the Beijing premiere of the film, Andy Lau also accepted an exclusive interview with us to see how he faced these problems.
From the fat man in Slimming Men and Women, to the muscular man in Men of Great Wisdom, to the old man's makeup in Waiting for You to Get Old, and even the long-haired thief in world without thieves, Andy Lau seems to be more and more keen on making an issue of styling. Some critics think that Andy Lau, who has made more than 100 movies, can hardly make a breakthrough in his role, so he broadened his career with the help of appearance changes. Andy Lau himself does not deny this statement. Frankly speaking, the growth of age does limit his role choice.
Andy Lau: I've only made one film like this in about two or three years, from the first "The Tracker" to "The Big Man" and then to this. I think because of this makeup, I can play a wider role, because people may see my image many years later. I am either "If there is love in heaven" or "Love outside the law", and he won't think about anything else, because the director can think about it with confidence by putting on some makeup. For example, now I can take a big step forward because of this movie, because I think he has shaped me into a twenties. I think that's what I looked like when I was a general in the Five Tigers, because he put a little fat on my side, and then he repaired it with a later computer. He is completely over twenty years old, and my figure hasn't changed much, but it's just the same as before, so I think I will be afraid sometimes. For example, now I'm going to make a movie with a girl of 18 years old, and I'm psychologically afraid because I'm really afraid. But now I just want my eyes to look alike. As long as I look alike here, all other makeup and computers can help me go back to that time, so acting is a dream. If I can play as a teenager through this, fall in love with a girl of 18 years old, and then impress everyone, I feel satisfied, so I think having this makeup can make me play more widely and give me more choices.
Regardless of whether each of these painstakingly shaped characters is successful or not, it is undeniable that Andy Lau paid a lot of money for it. During the filming of these films, Andy Lau's pain in makeup is the focus of media reports almost every time, and he is willing to try this pain again and again. If he doesn't really love movies, I'm afraid it's hard to do it.
Andy Lau: I think this is an indispensable thing in my life, because I like watching TV very much. I like watching all the movies very much. It spent a lot of time with me. I think this is love. I really love my job, my movies and my singing. I'm running around now because it's expensive for me to shoot advertisements now. They think you can make that money by advertising for a few days. Why do you want to have a concert? You have to run for three hours if you come uninvited. You sing alone and do it alone, but I really enjoy it, I think.
The winner of two Hong Kong Film Awards has his own film company and the title of "King of Music". For today's Andy Lau, I'm afraid there is no more suitable word than "success". But for him, who has passed the age of no doubt, the topic of family and marriage is not only frequently mentioned by the media, but also increasingly unavoidable by Andy Lau himself.
Andy Lau: The media also asked me, will you regret it now? I don't think so. You are doing very well. I think a complete man should have a very happy and warm family. If it is complete, I think Felix Wong Yat Wa is more complete than me, because he has a certain position in the entertainment circle, and so does his family. I think this is a complete man. Then you say I envy him or not. I envy him very much. I didn't know I really loved my movies so much. I like my singing very much. Married, I have no time to give my wife and have children. I don't have time for my children. I think that's wrong. So I am a state of mind. On the contrary, I'm a little afraid to finish watching this movie. I thought it was just like this a while ago. Well, I'm going to get married and have children soon. I didn't expect to get married and have children. The responsibility is not to give the media a complete answer, I can only do it if I am really ready. Many people think that I am worried that my fans will not like me if I get married and have children. I feel that I am not a problem today. Many of my fans wrote to me hoping that I could have children. Fans also said that if you get married, I know I will, and I will when I am ready.
