The familiar melody of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is about to sound. Andy Lau's "I will go to the supermarket to work next month" joke. This year, I can add another one, and he will also go to the cinema to work.
Andy Lau played Andy Lau, and Ning Hao played Ning Hao, so there was a comedy film "Mr. Red Carpet" released during the Spring Festival. The trailer video of Andy Lau going to the countryside to experience life in the film has become a hot topic. In order to win the Best Film Award, the superstar he plays goes deep into the folk to collect folk stories, and even walks sideways among pig pens and chicken coops. He has a style of painting where chickens and dogs are restless, and chickens talk to ducks. There is a sense of relaxation in letting go.
Such a sense of relaxation is very rare for Andy Lau. It's not easy to retreat into the mortal world when it's so cold at high places. Later, when he filmed "The Orphan" and "The Crowd" in the Mainland, he simply played the role of a farmer or an amnesiac, but the public still looked at Andy Lau. In the book "Interviews with Wong Kar-wai", Wong Kar-wai once said that when many people watch Andy Lau play a policeman, they will expect him to have action shootouts. If the policeman is just walking around ("Days of Being Wild"), "the audience will have surprise". This is a bit wishful thinking, and surprise may turn into surprise, because there will be a gap in movie-watching psychology.
Speaking of the popularity of "Flowers", the members of the "Wong Kar-wai Victims Alliance" were reviewed again, but Andy Lau was rarely mentioned. Cheng Yuling recently interviewed Andy Lau and mentioned that he was Wong Kar-Wai's first leading actor. However, he replied: Wong Kar-wai could not tell how long it would take to shoot his movie. "After weighing it, there will be less cooperation." At that time, there were two kinds of time measurement in Hong Kong movies. One was the "Oriental Hollywood" speed, which was fast and furious, and the other was "Wong Kar-Wai speed." This hatred lasted forever. Comparing the two, he chose the former. This is the official answer. In addition to the inability to control time, the lack of security may also stem from more reasons that cannot be explained in detail.
Wong Kar-wai has portraits of his collaborators. Also in that interview, he described Andy Lau as "not such a gangster in real life. Although he sometimes has mood swings and sensitivity, he is basically a very sunny person." He also described Jacky Cheung as having "the enthusiasm of a northerner." Leslie Cheung is suitable for uninhibited roles, etc. This shows that the pair of sunglasses is more like a perspective lens; Andy Lau believes that acting in "Days of Being Wild" is equivalent to giving Wong Kar-wai a blank piece of paper and asking him to write down his feelings about Andy Lau. Abandoning his past experience, methods and movements was a big challenge for Andy Lau at that time. It was like he was missing a hand, drawing a sword and looking around at a loss.
If Wong Kar-Wai's design is followed, and according to the director's creative habit of tailoring stories based on the actors' personalities and images, there will be an irreplaceable new character added to the character lineage of Wong's films, starting with Andy Lau. , was also performed, promoted and developed by Andy Lau. Of course, there may not be the Andy Lau who later appeared in "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs". But such history did not happen, and we can only imagine it out of thin air. Just as "Flowers" describes, "The matter between men and women comes from the right time and place. If there is a difference, it will be empty." The matter between the director and the actor is not the same.
It’s finally time to change without fear. Tom Cruise is still chasing the train of the times with superhuman physical strength, and Aaron Kwok added buck teeth to himself in new movies in order to achieve a breakthrough in his image. Everyone is seizing the day in their own way. Only Andy Lau can defeat Andy Lau. At this moment, I leave myself to Ning Hao, or let Ning Hao write an article about his feelings about Andy Lau - this is not an unprepared battle, but Ning Hao has the kindness to meet him. , they fully trust each other, and Ning Hao is a master of black humor commercial films. Their joining forces in this battle can be said to be the right time and the right place.
