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.

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'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.

​​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.
