The Liu family is a big family in Taiheng Village, and their hometown is quite leisurely. However, Liu's father is not here. Despite the opposition of his fellow villagers, he resolutely moved his family to Diamond Hill in the city, opened a grocery store and lived a busy city life. When I was a child, Andy Lau often helped his father to purchase goods, deliver goods and watch stores. When Liu's father used a color TV that was rarely seen at that time to broadcast programs to the neighbors, he wrote down the program and fee schedule on the blackboard as an announcer and became one of the best artists in Hong Kong in the future. In his spare time, Andy Lau likes to chase and play with children, playing wildly all over the mountains, and often dirties his clothes and falls under his head. But his academic performance has been very good, and his composition is outstanding. Occasionally, he will think in his mind: I hope I can become a film writer in the future.
198 1 year, Andy Lau, who just turned 20, graduated from the fifth grade, and half-jokingly reported to the artist training class of the wireless TV station with his friends. Unexpectedly, he went to high school in one fell swoop, thus giving up the opportunity for further study and determined to devote himself to acting. At that time, the wireless TV station was in its heyday, with not only the official actor Starlight Glimmer, but also training courses with talented people. Andy Lau had Felix Wong Yat Wa and Michael Miu in the last session, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Stephen Chow in the next session, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Huang Yaoming in the same session, and they all became famous stars in Xiangjiang. In such a dazzling combination, Andy Lau still performed well. After a year of training, he graduated with honors. The instructor's comment now is extremely accurate: "positive energy."
After graduation, Andy Lau was highly valued by wireless TV stations. After several TV series, he was chosen as the leading actor in Falcon, and the response was very good. The following year, he played the important role of Yang Guo in The Condor Heroes. In the third year, the martial arts drama "Duke of Lushan" started shooting, and the TV station planned to arrange Andy Lau to play the leading role of Wei Xiaobao, urging him to be the main creator on condition that he had to sign a five-year contract with the company, which was rejected by Andy Lau. So Wei Xiaobao, the first protagonist, became Emperor Kangxi, the second protagonist. Although he was also very popular with the audience, the TV station no longer valued Andy Lau, and soon officially hid the disobedient young man in the snow and stopped filming a play.
Later, Andy Lau was one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the wireless TV station, and he also made several TV dramas that were neither light nor heavy, but his focus was on the big screen. The era of TV minority has become a history of success and frustration for Andy Lau. Andy Lau's journey to the big screen began at 1982. When he played the guest's brother in a TV program, he was attracted by filmmaker teddy robin and starred in Colorful Clouds directed by him. Later, he was recommended by Chow Yun Fat, a popular young student, to star in Xu Anhua's "Go to the Angry Sea". The film was originally intended to star Chow Yun Fat, but it failed to be sold because of the fear that the film shot in Chinese mainland would affect his Taiwan Province market. Andy Lau told Chow Yun Fat that he was also worried about the market in Taiwan Province province. Chow Yun Fat asked bluntly, "Tell me, where are you from?" Wake up the dreamer, Andy Lau is determined to seize this opportunity and devote herself to the performance. This unique and well-made film caused a great sensation in that year, and won two awards: best film and best director. Andy Lau was also nominated as the best newcomer because of his outstanding performance, which laid a good foundation for future development and increased his confidence. In the following years, there were more and more films in Andy Lau. His handsome face, upright temperament, agile posture, desperate spirit and grass-roots breath close to the audience's life have been warmly welcomed inside and outside the circle. The annual output has soared from one or two plays to about 20, and the box office appeal ranks first among Hong Kong actors. At the same time, Andy Lau began to develop into the pop music industry. The records he released were equally popular and won numerous awards. He was listed as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" who dominated the music scene in the 1990s and became an idol singer with numerous fans.
The development of an idol star in the entertainment circle may be more convenient than that of an ordinary actor, and at the same time it will suffer more than that of an ordinary actor. Limited by the commercial image, idol stars should follow the mass line in music, movies and even life, and can't try breakthrough styles or take controversial roles. So Andy Lau kept the same face for a long time. Although many of his works are similar, although he is praised both inside and outside the circle, he has always praised his starlight and fighting spirit, and rarely commented on his artistic achievements. Andy Lau, who attaches great importance to his career and has high demands on himself, is certainly not satisfied with such achievements, and is bent on achieving greater success in performing arts. 1988, Andy Lau took over an alternative river and lake film "Tears Like Rain" directed by Wong Kar-wai, carefully performed a unique role of a dangerous teenager, and was nominated for the Oscar for the first time. 1990 the movie "if there is love in the sky" has a distinctive personality and is touching. Together with the theme song "Days Together", it has become a masterpiece of Andy Lau's audio-visual circles; 199 1 year, Andy Lau starred in "Biography of 500 million Detective Mayor", and made full preparations to turn this legendary figure born out of real life from a teenager into a police tycoon until his octogenarian years, which left a deep impression on the audience and won the nomination for best actor in the Golden Elephant again.
1998 Du Qifeng, a famous director, made a new film, Dark War, which tells the story of a terminally ill gangster fighting with the police. He was nominated for many important awards, such as best film, best director, best screenwriter and best actor. Andy Lau, who plays the gangster, won wide acclaim in the industry, and won the Best Actor Award, beating strong rivals such as Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun and Ceng Zhiwei. Since then, Andy Lau's performance level has been getting better and better, and his acting skills have been recognized more and more. In 2004, he won the 23rd Academy Award for Du Qifeng's work "The Big Guy". After shooting for more than 20 years, I finally realized my long-cherished wish. Andy Lau on the podium was very excited: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will introduce myself as the best actor in Hong Kong twice in the future! I think I have more idols ... I really thank many people, and you have helped me a lot. " The following year, UA Cinema in Hong Kong held an award ceremony for the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong. Andy Lau won the title of the highest box office actor since the opening of Hong Kong with the box office performance of 108 movie1700 million Hong Kong dollars, which truly achieved a double harvest in acting and box office.
As an artist, Andy Lau's personal life is also concerned by the public and the media. Over the years, rumors about his family and feelings have come and gone, but most of Andy Lau didn't respond positively. Even Zhu Liqian, his wife and daughter, who are well-known in various reports, have never been recognized by Andy Lau, and have become confused under the declarations of "not married yet", "not excluding marriage" and "getting married as soon as possible with children". Today, Andy Lau is approaching the age of knowing destiny. She is still an energetic public lover. She keeps making records, making movies, giving concerts, investing, winning prizes and meeting fans. She is still a hot figure in the entertainment industry. He once said in his autobiography, "When I was very young, my father asked me,' What will you do when you grow up?' I replied, "I want to be a shepherd." Prairie, white hut, blue sky and white clouds, endless sheep and white foals, cuddling with a big stupid dog and sleeping lazily. "A person's reality and ideal are so different, but what can be believed is that as long as you struggle and realize it, it will be a rich and regretless life anyway.
