  Talk about Chengdu

  "I often feel that Chengdu is by my side"

  Andy Lau is no stranger to Chengdu. He has visited Chengdu many times to promote films and also made films in Chengdu. In earlier years, Andy Lau had studied with the famous Sichuan opera master Peng Denghuai. Speaking of his feelings with Chengdu, Andy Lau said, "I don’t know why, but my feelings for Chengdu have been inseparable for a long time. It may be that Mr. Peng Denghuai was also here. Then during the Sichuan earthquake, I also met different people and communicated with everyone. Many fans are also doing some charity activities after the aftermath. I have shared with them. I often feel that Chengdu is by my side and is more friendly."

  In the new film "Anti-Drug 2", in addition to being the lead actor and producer, Andy Lau also wrote the lyrics for the film’s theme song "Brothers Do Not Doubt" and sang it with Koo Tianle. Speaking of why he was so dedicated to the film, Andy Lau replied: "In fact, as long as you love that thing, such as you love your home, you will clean your house every day. When I like my movie, I like my opponent, I like every shot, I like the director, I like the script, I like the feeling of the camera."

  Talk about new movies

  "Playing with Gu Tianle is just right"

  "Anti-Drug 2," as Andy Lau’s first film after his injury, was originally only a producer, but after reading the script, he was moved by the role and decided to play Yu Shun-tian, the chairperson of the Hong Kong Anti-Drug Commission. Some people say that "Anti-Drug 2" is a story between two generations of Yang Guo (Andy Lau and Koo Tianle) and a Yang Kang (Miao Qiaowei). Speaking of the original intention of acting in the film, Lau Dehua said, "I first knew that Gu Tianle played, and I was looking for another actor role, and then I decided to play Miao Qiaowei. The last one focused on brotherhood, and the anti-drug flavor was not so strong. This one has a visual impact. We did not carefully talk about how to fight drugs, but talked about the impact of drugs on life."

  "Anti-Drug 2" is the same frame as Gu Tianle on the big screen after "The Disciple" 12 years ago, and both of them have played the role of Yang Guo. Talking about the cooperation with Gu Tianle, Liu Dehua said, "I hope there will be a play in the future, the focus is on me and Gu Tianle. Now I think it’s just right, it’s a very good start. The two of us appear in front of the camera and everyone thinks it’s very interesting. This is the most interesting thing for me." Andy Lau also talked about the changes of Gu Tianle: "I think he has no problem in acting. Everyone has seen his progress along the way. I think he really looks like a movie tycoon now."

  Lau said that many actors are actually very cool in front of the camera, but in real life they are children. "I used to think it was difficult to enter the world of Koo Tianle, but now the two of us sit there and see the look in his eyes and see that we want to know each other, and then you will find that he is still a child in life."

  Talk about yourself

  "Worried about getting hurt again in filming"

  In 1981, Andy Lau starred in his film debut "Caiyun Song". Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was about to be in the film for 40 years. When asked if there would be a special work plan for 40 years in the film, Andy Lau replied: "There are no special arrangements. I started in the film in 1981, and you weren’t born at that time, right?" Andy Lau also took the initiative to talk to reporters about his state all the time: "I am a person who lives with the times. I have never felt that I am from which era. I thought about it. It turned out that Gu Tianle was born 12 years later than me, and then I waited for the next generation. Now what do you think is the difference between me and Huang Bo, and what is the difference between me and Shen Teng? For example, Jiang Wen, you don’t think there is a distance between me and him. I am someone who is willing to live in the present. "

  In "Anti-Drug 2", the audience praised Andy Lau’s acting skills, and he also talked about his understanding of "all-round actors": "Everyone’s interests are different. I used to write stage plays, so my original intention behind the scenes is still there, so you will find that in addition to performing in front of the camera, I have a lot of time behind the scenes. I pay more attention to the way I perform and create. We often discuss that Andy Lau should be like this, but in fact it may not be."

  "Drug Crackdown 2" is Andy Lau’s first film after the horse fall injury incident. Asking whether he is worried about injury in future filming, Andy Lau said: "I have to worry, but this is not the most important condition. I think it is still necessary to watch the movie. After the horse fall incident, the director will also measure according to my ability." Bomb Locker 2 "has more action than" Drug Crackdown 2 "."

  Today’s Andy Lau has a happy family, and his daughter is very well-behaved. Asked if he would consider taking on less bad characters for his daughter in the future, Andy Lau laughed: "No, except for pornography, I don’t care if other characters are good or bad."

  In "Anti-Drug 2," Andy Lau and Lin Jiaxin play a couple who are very happy. When asked about the secret of keeping love fresh in real life, Liu De replied: "I think it is a two-way street. For example, in the play, I love her and she loves me. But our personalities are different, so we separated, but our love did not run away."

  Talk about newcomers

  "It still depends on fate"

  In 2006, under the support of Andy Lau’s "Asian Rising Star Director" program, Ning Hao filmed the comedy "Crazy Stone", which was nominated for best picture and best director at the 43rd Golden Horse Awards. Speaking of the topic of "supporting newcomers", Lau Dehua said: "I still depend on fate, everyone thinks I have a good eye. In fact, as you can see now, they are already powerful, no matter who they are in the hands, they will shine."

  Andy Lau revealed that he happened to meet Ning Hao recently in Hong Kong. "He is doing neck treatment in Shenzhen, and we have more opportunities to meet. We talked again about’I have tried to be his boss, but I have never tried to be his actor. Do you want to try it? ‘He was still thinking, and he said,’ I don’t know what it’s like to shoot Andy Lau. ‘There are many newcomers around him, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Lu Yang, Guo Fan… They are people with different perspectives on movies. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can also work with them."
