Even the president Louis Koo, although he has a high reputation in the mainland, his career focus is also In Hong Kong, it is even rarer to come to the mainland for development.
Compared with Andy Lau who frequently appears in various large-scale events in the Mainland, Louis Koo rarely participates in award ceremonies or other large-scale events in the Mainland. The most recent high-profile event was when he came to the mainland to promote his new movie "Tomorrow's War" two years ago and participated in the Beijing Film Festival.
If you compare Louis Koo to Andy Lau, Louis Koo's qualifications and reputation in the industry may not be as good as Andy Lau, but Louis Koo's "status" in today's Hong Kong circle is a real "top existence". You can see Louis Koo's status in Hong Kong circles from a group photo.
Andy Lau is well paid in the mainland. Not only is he the vice chairman of the "China Filmmakers Association", but he always sits next to Chen Daoming or Wu Jing whenever he attends large-scale events.

Louis Koo is not only a top actor in the industry, he is also the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, and more importantly, he is also "capital".
As early as many years ago, Louis Koo started his own path as a "movie boss" and founded the "Tianyi" company. Andy Lau lamented that he was "not as good as" Louis Koo. He was a real "movie tycoon" and he was just making movies.
A Hong Kong star previously broke the news that Louis Koo’s monthly salary to his employees alone is as high as 4 million. As he said, being rich and still working so hard to make money is not just for yourself, but also to support some Hong Kong stars who work for you.
Of course, Louis Koo's status in the Hong Kong circle is not only due to his "financial resources", but also inseparable from his contribution to Hong Kong movies and his achievements in charity.
Over the years, Louis Koo has been committed to the development of the Hong Kong film industry. Nick Cheung once said that Louis Koo is not just talking, he has truly contributed to Hong Kong films.
As the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, his responsibilities are even greater. During the epidemic, Louis Koo took the lead in distributing 9,000 yuan in relief to each "unemployed artist".
Actor Lin Xue once said that most of the movies shot in Hong Kong now are invested by Louis Koo, and the movies he shoots are all invested by Louis Koo. Although Louis Koo is only 53 years old, the older generation of actors in Hong Kong admire him. Hong Kong Apart from Andy Lau and Louis Koo, the only people who openly do charity are just talking about it.
Moreover, Louis Koo not only does charity in Hong Kong, but is also very active in the mainland. As early as 2009, Louis Koo established the "Louis Koo Charitable Fund", mainly to help impoverished mountainous areas in the mainland. The donations so far have reached tens of millions, and he has donated to hundreds of schools in mountainous areas.
