likes original work in the workplace, so he pays attention to "Geyou Feng Ge".
In 1996, Zhang Weijian became famous for playing the Monkey King in the TVB TV series " Journey to the West ", but because he asked for a salary increase and had an unpleasant quarrel with the wireless network, he was ridiculed by the wireless: "Remember, you have no hair on your face, you It's worthless!" The young and vigorous Zhang Weijian couldn't stand it, and completely fell out with Wireless.
lost his wireless job and caught up with the 1997 financial crisis. Zhang Weijian, who invested his entire fortune in the real estate industry, was about to go bankrupt overnight, but at this time, Andy Lau was optimistic about Zhang Weijian's TV drama potential and signed him to his company , Zhang Weijian said cheekily to Andy Lau, "Boss, can you lend me some money? If I don't repay the debt today, I will go bankrupt." Who knew that Andy Lau, without saying a word, directly wrote a check to Zhang Weijian to help Zhang Weijian get through difficult time.
Zhang Weijian still remembers what Andy Lau told him after more than ten years: teach people what they have learned, and give them what they earn.
entered the 21st century, after Jackie Chan , Jet Li went to Hollywood , Chow Yun-fat , Zhou Xingchi all cut production, the original box office champion was 50 to 60 million, and gradually fell to 30 to 40 million, before the box office. Ten was occupied by many movies with more than 10 million yuan, and the Hong Kong film industry fell into a low ebb. At this time, Andy Lau stood up again and handed over the script of "Infernal Affairs" as a producer. This rescue movie.
Later, Lin Jiadong revealed that Andy Lau helped a lot of people secretly. At that time, after the filming of "Infernal Affairs", Andy Lau was in charge of cutting the film. He cut out many of his scenes, which is very rare for an actor, because As an actor, everyone wants to play more roles, but Andy Lau just wants to make "things" successful. This kind of mind is rare.
Lin Jiadong said: "So far, no one on any platform has thanked him for this." But Andy Lau doesn't care, he thinks that as a filmmaker, he can finally make a movie and help the Hong Kong film industry. Most importantly, everything else is "floating clouds".
2005 was just an ordinary year for Andy Lau, but it was an extraordinary year for Chinese film , because in this year, Andy Lau launched the " Asia Rising Star Director " project, taking 25 million to tap potential new directors. In the first issue of
, Andy Lau supported 6 new directors, among them the director of Ning Hao , who is now a big hit. At that time, Ning Hao was looking for investment with the script of " Crazy Stone " (formerly known as Diamond). The company gave 5 million, but asked to intervene in the shooting. Andy Lau's new star gave 3 million, but did not interfere with Ning Hao's filming. Ning Hao chose Andy Lau's 3 million investment without hesitation, and finally started Ning Hao's crazy movie. road.
"Asian Rising Star Director" is like a spark that can start a prairie fire. Under the leadership of Rising Star Director, Ning Hao launched the " Bad Monkey 72 Movie Project", and also supported a number of new directors, including Guo Fan , Wen Muye , Lu Yang and other directors have made such well-known and applauded films as " Wandering Earth ", " I'm Not the God of Medicine ", " Embroidered Spring Knife ", and many people still I remember that director Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" thanked Andy Lau at the end of the film. In fact, he thanked Andy Lau for his "Asian Rising Star Director" project, which cultivated Ning Hao, and Ning Hao supported Guo Fan and other new directors. This is a kind of hope. inherited.
Many people say that Andy Lau launched the "Asian Rising Star Guide" project, didn't it make money? Isn't this a business practice? Although this is also true, many people have only seen one movie to make money, but they have not seen that in the film industry, almost no one is willing to invest in new directors. dominance.
and Andy Lau's support has no preconditions, and from the beginning, he never thought about making money from it. If he really wants to make money, wouldn't it be good to invest in commercial movies or real estate? why voteWhat about new directors with no market value at all?
This is also the reason why many people say that Andy Lau has made great contributions to the Chinese film industry. On the one hand, he has contributed a lot of classic roles as an actor, and on the other hand, as an investor, he has invested a lot of excellent Movies, such as " Taoji ", etc. In the end, he played the role of " angel investor " in the film industry to tap potential directors, so that the film industry has more new forces, and in the film industry , How many people can do this?
Of course, apart from movies, the story of Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong is also well-known. When Andy Lau's career was at a low ebb, Lin Jiadong did not leave him. Since then, as long as there are Andy Lau movies, there must be Lin Jiadong's shadow. In those years Here, Andy Lau spared no effort to support Lin Jiadong.
Lin Jiadong said many times that Andy Lau wanted him to play the leading role, but every time Lin Jiadong turned it down, because he was afraid that he would not have box office appeal, and that he would lose money to Andy Lau. Until 2012, Andy Lau thought that Lin Jiadong could become an independent portal. It automatically ends the guest-host relationship. It can be said that Lin Jiadong has so many resources compared to other artists, all because he has a good brother and good boss - Andy Lau.
is just like what Andy Lau said in the lyrics of "If One Day": People are kind and don't deceive the sky. It's a very simple truth, why don't you see it through? Ren Jun is so beautiful and rich, and at the end of the day, every cause and effect is cultivated by heaven. What Andy Lau has practiced in his life is to be kind to others. He deeply understands that when a person can start from kindness, there will always be good causes and effects, so he Truly achieved "you must teach people what you have learned, and what you earn must be given to others".
Some people say that Andy Lau's achievements are not only reflected in the classic roles created by music, movies and series, but also in his behavior. He used his own power to influence countless people and shaped the "Andy Lau Spirit".
