Preface: The movie "Sweeping Drugs 2" starring Andy Lau and Louis Koo hit 148 million at the box office on the first day of its release. This is after the Spring Festival file "Wandering Earth", "Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life". The best domestic movie.
Andy Lau is not only a starring role in "Anti-Drug 2", he is also a producer! Prior to this, Andy Lau also produced many popular and popular movies, such as "The Hurt Locker", "Chasing the Dragon", "Rogue League" and "Storm". Before that, Andy Lau was already a successful actor and singer.
So, is it possible for Andy Lau to become a successful director? Recently, Andy Lau was a guest of "Lu Yu One Day Trip", the host Lu Yu asked this question. Andy Lau revealed the reason for his improper directorship: idols are burdened and can't bear to swear!
Andy Lau said: There is almost no director who does not curse, because a lot of work cannot be done without cursing! But Andy Lau is different from others. Others can swear, but Andy Lau cannot swear. Even if it is not the kind of curse that swears, Andy Lau can't speak out.
Andy Lau also gave an example, once met two very lazy female screenwriters, probably in their 20s, Andy Lau was very dissatisfied with their work, but he was too embarrassed to scold them. Fortunately, Andy Lau was only a producer, not a director. Later, after Andy Lau told the director, the director scolded the two female screenwriters.
Andy Lau can't let go of the burden of "I am Andy Lau", so he is destined to not be a good director. Regarding the question of "should the director curse or not", the reality show "Yearing for Life 2" broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV last year also talked about this issue.
At that time, Huang Bo took the director’s debut "A Good Show" to promote it. It happened that He Jiong and Huang Lei were also directors, so they had many topics in common. Wu Qinggong, a non-famous entertainment critic, pointed out: He Jiong talked about an interesting event that happened during the filming of the movie "Gardenia Blossoms".
Once, those actors were not in the state, it was early in the morning, and they were still laughing and joking. He Jiong took the walkie-talkie and cursed, but they didn't react at all, and no one heard it. Because they all think He Jiong is a person who doesn't lose his temper, they don't care.
"Gardenia Blossoms" has a very good box office. Investors have made money, but He Jiong has not dared to make any more movies. He feels the same as Andy Lau. He Jiong is the host of "Happy Camp" and has accompanied Chinese audiences for more than 20 years. He is known for his affinity. He Jiong can't bear to scold anyone.
Discussion: Who do you think He Jiong and Andy Lau are less suitable for directors?
