Ask Andy Lau, a stupid kid, for the electronic edition of Southern People Weekly magazine, 2065438+March 23, 2005, No.8, No.426.

Yes, the Andy Lau you saw in the Spring Festival Evening is the most essential Andy Lau. Black leather tunic suit and red gown, like the head of a big family. Behave appropriately, be self-satisfied and be pleasant at the same time. Fashionable skinny is a gentleman. Sing "The Way Home" with your own lyrics, and go home immediately after singing.

"I think he is a squire," said Cai Chongda. "He has a lot of Confucian, very calm, steady and elegant things. I sometimes say he is a master, and he is very angry. He said I was obviously cool. " Cai Chongda and Andy Lau had many long talks. To Cai's surprise, Andy Lau is not the cautious and watertight good man in everyone's mind. He dares to say that without the star's habitual self-protection, he has sharp opinions on many social problems and a kind of squire's distress about "social disorder"

"Why do humans do such things to their own kind?" He asked Cai, when he saw the first scene in "Lonely Lost", his eyes were red-Andy Lau was wearing shabby clothes, lying on a motorcycle, looking haggard and completely a farmer.

Let Andy Lau disappear for a while.

In order to be closer to farmers in appearance, Andy Lau did a lot of homework.

"At first I said, can you bake an ultraviolet ray? Because it is too white. He said yes! Later, I said you'd better bask in it, not bake it, because it's too luxurious! He didn't say anything. If he doesn't say anything, I can't force it any more! " Director Peng Sanyuan is a newcomer to the big screen. It is the first time that he has cooperated with a big-name actor, and he has no idea about "Hua Ge".

Seeing Mr. Liu again, it was already dark and falling apart. "During the Chinese New Year, I spent seven days sunbathing on the beach. Farmers will not lie down and sunbathe, and the light will not be very uniform. " He carefully studied people who have been riding motorcycles for a long time: people who are not so dark under their cheekbones and inside their necks, people who work in the hot sun and in the field and are naturally forged by the sun, all have marks on their bodies, such as a circle of white on their watches and the marks left by their vests. Lei Zekuan doesn't have a watch. Andy Lau specially printed a rustic vest on his body, which was criticized by the director as "too ugly" and abandoned.

Wu Junru made a cameo appearance as a drug dealer in this movie. She made an appointment with Andy Lau, and Andy Lau was still wearing those tattered sneakers at dinner. Wu Junru was surprised on the spot, "ouch! How could you? ! "

"I just think sports shoes should be like people. Everyone walks in a different way, and the soles are worn out in different places. Then when riding a motorcycle, put the sole on the exhaust pipe on the right hand side and let it burn. It's very hot! The sole of the right foot will melt a little, but the left foot won't ... "No one knows these good intentions. Directors basically use long lenses and never deliberately feature shoes.

At the conference of "Lonely Lost", the humanoid stand of "Lei Zekuan" was invited to the stage. "This is simply a sharp brother." Moderator Wei Chi said. "Let me introduce the origin of this suit," director Peng Sanyuan pointed out. "The red underwear belongs to my father. I didn't throw it away 20 years ago. The blue skirt is my brother's. It's worn at work and full of holes. In addition, there is a pair of leggings. Our art chased a farmer riding a motorcycle and gave people 200 yuan of dog skin. " The crew originally planned to make old clothes, but later, in pursuit of truth, they went to the countryside to collect some really used clothes. "To tell you the truth, I took three months, just this one. The director said that this is a man with' taste'. "

Stills of Lost Orphan

Because the earth is round, I must meet you

After more than 30 years of debut, Lonely Lost is Andy Lau's 148 film. In the past March, 14, the "Pi Festival" of mathematics fans all over the world, loneliness, launched a new preview poster. The picture consists of 3. 14 159265358 ... and the pointer points to 3 and 20 in this infinite acyclic decimal, indicating the release time of the film, and echoes the philosophy of "origin and fate" in the film with a circle. The poster reads: "Because the world is round, we will meet eventually."

Whether the box office revenue can recover the cost, Andy Lau has no complete chance of winning. "I don't know the specific cost, but this movie is all money, aerial photography and guns, which wastes a lot of money. Because of me, the environment prepared by the director can't be filmed, and the film made in Hong Kong has never been tried. Although I can't see it, it costs a lot of money. " "And this is not a play of my company. My price will not be low, and a dime (pay) will not drop. "

"The director's prepared environment can no longer be filmed" means that Peng Sanyuan insists that many scenes are filmed in the street, and body double is not needed. She didn't expect that Andy Lau was crowded with people everywhere, and thousands of people were watching. Not only can it not be filmed, but the site safety is almost out of control.

"On the first day of our official launch, the plan went bankrupt. At that time, in Chonglou West Street, Quanzhou, we wanted to shoot him thousands of miles and cross the rolling crowd. We need a telephoto key. He came on a motorcycle, dusty. As a result, our guns have just been set up, and the machines haven't gone up yet. There are thousands of fans below, some walking indoors and some walking up the tree. The photographer said that this would definitely not work and it would be dangerous. " Peng Sanyuan later admitted that he had made a mistake. At first, she even had the idea of putting Hua Zai on the scene in Spring Festival travel rush Sprint, but Huayi resolutely stopped her. At that time, she did not take it to heart.

"I was pulled down at the scene. I was driving a motorcycle and someone saw me. If you want to touch it, you can reach out and pull me. It's dangerous. This kind of long shot can actually be used in body double, but the director doesn't think so. As long as she doesn't feel like Andy Lau, she doesn't think so. The new director may go through this process. But when you accept this job, all her accessories are part of the job. "

Having suffered is not necessarily good.

As Peng Sanyuan's big-screen debut, Lonely Lost does have some drawbacks, such as strong lyricism and blunt lens language processing. Perhaps this is the inevitable weakness of the female creator, but no one denies her sincerity in this film. At that time, she "leapfrogged" the script to Andy Lau's team and received a reply within a week. According to Andy Lau, the "old demon" who is in charge of reading the script is a man with a heart of stone. "Even when he read the script, he cried, and we were surprised by something that had never happened before."

In the end, the level of the film was far from what Andy Lau expected, and he didn't hide it, because the "old demon" was present, and considerate Andy Lau wouldn't forget to save him in an interview. "Of course, the final choice is mine, and they can't force me."

It is generally believed that the last time I did a thankless job was to shoot Fuchun Shan Jutu. After the film was released, Andy Lau kept saying "I'm sorry" and was almost tired of the publicity of "Blind Detective". "He has always been like this. Several good films have been made, and there must be bad films. This is his life. In fact, whether the movie is good or not can be decided by Andy Lau alone? " Du Qifeng, the director of Blind Detective, spoke for him.

Du Qifeng and Andy Lau are not close friends, but after years and bitter baptism, they have reached a mutual appreciation between men. The director who once publicly claimed that he liked Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Liu Qingyun better than Andy Lau, has appreciated Andy's acting skills more and more in recent years. "Andy Lau didn't have any depth in his early years, but now it is his most mature time, regardless of his mentality or acting skills." After reading Sister Tao, which Liu invested in, he rarely took the initiative to praise people and said to Andy Lau, "You can really act now, and you touched me."

"When I was at TVB, I didn't know where my ability was. I just tried my best to do it. Du Qifeng said something to me, and I thought about it for many years. He said, Andy Lau, why do you want to be such a good person? Don't think that if you give in to everything, the play will be done. "

The feud between them began with "If there is love in heaven". At that time, "If there is love in the sky" had five theme songs. The famous singer Andy Lau found Du Qifeng and asked to sing one. Du's answer is: "Andy, if you concentrate on one thing, I think you will achieve even greater success." During the filming process, the handsome Hua Tsai unconsciously fiddled with her crushed hair every time she took off her motorcycle helmet. Du Dao is famous for his hot temper on the set, and of course he scolds as soon as he opens his mouth. Once or twice, Andy soon forgot, took off his helmet and dialed his hair. The furious Du Qifeng announced the suspension of work, and Andy Lau was not small-tempered. After returning to work, he would ask the stylist to blow his hair again every time he changed his seat on the plane.

If Du Dao comes to the set of Lost Orphan today, he will feel that things have changed. It is also a scene of riding a motorcycle. The gangsters in Jianghu movies have become simple farmers looking for children thousands of miles away. Andy Lau, who plays an old and ugly role, wears a hat to press her hair even before the performance. "This character always goes on the road with a helmet and then gets off. If he doesn't fix his hair, I'll use a hat and then take that hair off, which is the most authentic. Hair is sometimes squashed, sometimes it falls off, and sometimes it becomes warped. "

God loves stupid children.

Du Qifeng has always warned him that if you want to keep your acting skills or works at a relatively uniform level, you must be very, very selfish. However, "personality problem, I can't do it." He is always trapped in friendship, taking on some embarrassing scenes afterwards, and even taking the blame. His conscience doesn't seem to feel guilty after such a torture.

"So in the Hong Kong film circle, Andy Lau is the person who has learned the most." Jiang Zhiqiang, a Hong Kong filmmaker, said.

"I have become a friend of the film workers' group. They will come to our company to talk when the script encounters bottlenecks or insufficient investment. "Some people can't invest, he will use other actions to help them." Maybe they voted, but it was 2 million. I said it doesn't matter. If the script is adjusted and two good actors are added, maybe you can get the money, and I will help them find some stars to talk to. "

Lian Jin in "Crazy Stone" has been trying to practice Mandarin, and her figure has been kept very good. In order to help him, Andy Lau took him with him when he played The Founding of the People's Republic. "I played the national army, and he spoke a few words beside me. As a result, I broke up with him I was very unhappy, so I told myself that I would help him again if I had the chance, but I haven't asked the director to use him yet.

Familiar friends sometimes tease him with "silly children", but God loves silly children. Because of Cai's kindness, Andy Lau was scolded for "Future Police"; But Sister Tao, which was also made to repay Xu Anhua's kindness, won more than ten trophies in Venice, Golden Statue, Golden Horse and other competitions, and won a great victory.

Andy Lau and the late singer Danny Chan performed a dance for TVB.

A gentleman, peaceful

People who interviewed him four or five years ago will receive his greeting cards on holidays. In the media circle, he undoubtedly has a good popularity. However, some reporters don't like him. Always stable means lack of personality, and there is nothing explosive about him-he has been out for too long and has not surprised the other party.

Liu is a perfectionist in spirit, but his actions are realistic and he is willing to compromise. This attitude is a bit like what he said to master Tsui Hark when he played Di Renjie Empire: "Di Renjie certainly doesn't approve of women being emperors, but there is no better way. Let her go. "

Du Guowei, his head teacher in Keli Middle School, was his first drama tutor. After becoming a star, he went back to ask his teacher: Should he be a star idol that is loved by many people? Or do you want to be an actor with strong strength and good singing skills?

He is so idealistic that he actually wants everything. So 30 years later, he became a powerful idol.

How easy it is for a person who can't find faults to get bored, so when the Yang Lijuan incident and the Tianwang Sister-in-law incident happened, people were very excited. But many times, they can only criticize the singing or acting skills of the king. "When I didn't make a record, everyone said I was a great singer. When I made a record, everyone said that I was not a great singer. "

Since his debut, he has achieved great success in every field he has set foot in. He won all kinds of honors, all kinds of box office champions, and the outstanding young people of Yu Chunjin made commercial contributions to charity ... so many pages can't be listed. He won the most prizes in the Guinness Book of Records in Hong Kong. Under the halo, it is the medal of "Justice of the Peace" awarded by the Hong Kong government that becomes a literal personality metaphor: he is a gentleman and loves peace.

Did not collect bad words as expected.

Silly children's grievances gradually turned into self-mockery and another form of self-cognition: "I am average, maybe I am not the first in each individual event, but if it is decathlon ..."

"Andy Lau's emotional intelligence is very high and extremely sensitive. This person seems to have tentacles all over his body, and he always feels at his side. With one look, he can feel your mind and know what you are thinking. He is worried about his life. He always remembers the situation of others and puts everyone passing by in his heart. He will express it in the most comfortable way. "

Before Cai's own new book Pi was published, he didn't expect Andy Lau to preface it for him, but after Liu read the manuscript, he asked his assistant, "Ask Mr. Cai, will you allow me to preface it for him?"

"Of course, his preface is of great help to my book. I can't wait. He can also call me directly. He took care of my literati's self-esteem in this demanding way. In his interpersonal relationship, I don't know how many friends we have at this level, and he takes care of them one by one. How worried is he? " Cai's "Pi" was also unexpectedly popular because of "The Supplement to the King of Heaven", and it ran as soon as it was listed.

Cai Chongda talked to many people about Andy Lau, and he found that no one had criticized Andy Lau's character in the warm entertainment circle. Cai denied that Liu was watertight because he was witty or witty, because "if he was acting, it would be too high for him to perform on such a stage, even if he was acting, he would not be able to perform for a lifetime."

The pain of self-discipline and the joy of self-satisfaction

Andy Lau, who has been completely loyal to the Buddha, attaches great importance to the word "love", but "love" is not limited to men and women, "love is not the most important thing in his value system", and there is another kind of greater love and compassion in his heart.

A story circulating on the Internet confirmed Andy Lau's kindness. It is said that in a rehearsal, an extra actress and a fat woman suddenly fell down in the distance, and everyone present, especially Cecilia Cheung, laughed their heads off. Only Andy Lau walked over to help her up and leaned over to comfort her.

Love is an ability. For a long time, for people engaged in literature and art, we always put "drama" before "people", and the default birthday is evidence of talent. Andy Lau lacks such evidence, so even though he wrote the lyrics of 100, David Henry Hwang jokingly hurt him: "Andy Lau will never achieve anything by writing lyrics all his life."

It doesn't matter, long life. His lyrics "Seventeen" were sung until he was 54 years old. "17 years old, I'm shameless/I took part in a challenge/stars also have training classes/it's only one year too new/I remember my fourth brother Fage met/I was promoted to the leading role too suddenly/my 29-year-old awards dinner was too crazy/fans came to listen to me sing love songs/the lyrics were too classic/my vibrato and falsetto were too skilled/but love songs were always sung."

Lin Jiadong, one of his artists, said, "After filming all night, everyone was exhausted. Only Andy Lau is still here, leg press. Stretch your muscles. On one occasion, he made advertisements in the mainland during the day, made movies at night, and then flew back to Hong Kong to accompany his family. I went to see him. He took out a lyric from him and showed it to me, saying it was just written on the plane. "

"Andy Lau is indeed a rare self-disciplinarian."

"Not self-discipline, he really likes this line."
