I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 421 Liu Dehua (33)

Is Andy Lau coming?
Including Shen Liang, several people were very excited...

how to say…

Andy Lau’s name has accompanied the youth of countless people born in the 70s and 80s…including many born in the 90s!
Like many beautiful Hong Kong films in our memory, he has become a symbol.

If we have to find a star to represent the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he is Andy Lau.

In short, Andy Lau’s popularity among the people is too high.

Moreover, Andy Lau is a very interesting person. In his 40-year career, he seemed active, but in fact he was passive.

Although it seems that you have the best of both worlds, you are actually in a dilemma.

They all say he is very good at dealing with people and has a high emotional intelligence, but why was he the one who was blacklisted by TVB? He was the one who was sued by his partner when Tianmu went bankrupt? And he was also the one who had a bizarrely small number of film schedules later on?
When you watch his interviews, you always feel that he speaks eloquently and flawlessly, but upon closer analysis, you can see that he contains no information at all.

Then you will know that he is just a star, a person who is put on the stage, receiving the admiration of everyone, but is cautious and dare not express himself.

He stood on the balance beam, fantasizing about not offending anyone, trying to smooth things over, laughing it off, making jokes, and maintaining his image as a good guy.

So, when you see that the promotion of "Mr. Red Carpet" focuses on the secrets of the entertainment industry, you can understand how ridiculous it is to do this!
Andy Lau, a good guy, will he expose the entertainment industry?
"Mr. Red Carpet" is essentially a film in which the elites mock ordinary people: the big stars and directors in the film are dedicated to their work, but they are always misunderstood, excluded and attacked by the "foolish masses" in their eyes, that is, ordinary people. They are always aggrieved and have to swallow the bitter fruit themselves; in the end, they are cyber-bullied by "ignorant cyber mobs" in their eyes, which eventually leads to the failure of the project and an absurd story of a mess.

In the movie, Liu Wei Chi was denounced by the entire network, the film was withdrawn from funding, the endorsement contract was terminated, and the poster was withdrawn. The reason why the career of an actor who had been popular for 40 years was ruined was...

He was dedicated to his job and filmed a real horse riding scene. He and his horse fell to the ground together, and then he was accused of animal cruelty!
——Is there any possibility of this?

If you give him some help, you can see him becoming a director of an unscrupulous investor who disrupts the market and reaps profits indiscriminately, and using his influence to support him and reap profits...

This reason shows that you have some courage, but it is indeed ironic!

In the end, it was because I tried too hard?
It is said that the inspiration came from the fact that Ning Hao was rumored to be abusing dogs when he was filming Crazy Alien...

But dogs are different from horses. There is a market worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars behind pet dogs. What about horses?

There is a market for hairy horses!
Horse meat is not tasty.

Ning Hao was still scared. He didn't dare to make fun of it, or to offend those pet lovers who always shouted "cat and dog abuse"...

In fact, "Mr. Red Carpet" is very similar to Spielberg's "Dream House", which is completely for the self-entertainment of a small circle.

In recent years, the economy has been in a downturn, and people outside the industry have a very bad reputation for the film industry, and some even feel disgusted with it. Any complaints will be interpreted as whining.

Unless you don't intend to make money from the beginning, my advice is to stay away from this kind of so-called movie. People really don't like to watch it.

However, it seems that after Andy Lau had been recuperating for a while after falling off a horse, he took part in a movie as a revenge and no longer cared about his acting career.

The Crowd is...

Wan Qian asked Rao Xiaozhi: "Director, how did you come up with the idea of ​​letting Brother Hua play this role?"

Rao Xiaozhi explained: "I met Brother Hua at a business event. Although I had the idea of ​​collaborating at that time, the script was not ready yet... After the script was ready, I sent it to him... and he agreed!"

Andy Lau: "I have always wanted to participate in mainland movies, but the results are not very good..."

Shen Liang couldn't listen any longer: "Lost and Love" and Saving Mr. Wu are actually both pretty good!"

"But the box office is not that good!" Andy Lau smiled bitterly: "The box office of the movies I starred in are all very bad..."

"The box office of "Drug War 2" has exceeded million!"

"But your film 'The Villain' has grossed over 24 billion." Andy Lau continued, "You don't even know that you are very popular in Hong Kong!"

"I'm lucky..."

"I heard that you are the lead actor in director Benny Chan's new film?" "Yes, it's called 'Raging Fire'..."

"Playing opposite Zhen Zidan?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, that is an action movie, we need to find an action star..."

Rao Xiaozhi interjected: “…A lot of fighting scenes?”

"Quite a lot. I played a villain and had two fight scenes with Zhen Zidan..."

Wan Qian was surprised: "Wow, fighting against Zhen Zidan? Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Will Zhen Zidan beat me to death?" Shen Liang asked back, and then said: "...Besides, I have practiced free fighting and free fighting...I am not completely without any basics, otherwise, Director Chen would not dare to hire me...By the way, Director Chen asked me to learn motorcycles, maybe he wanted to pay tribute to "A Moment of Romance"..."

Andy Lau smiled and said, "Be careful when you go to Hong Kong to film..."

"No way, now I have to pay protection fees to film in Hong Kong?"

"Which company is your play from?"

"Emperor and Silver City..."

"That's fine..."

"So, have you really been charged protection fees during your previous filming?"

Liu Dehua nodded: "Yes, I have been taken away..."

"There are so many people in the crew, are you afraid of them?"

"They would burn the props and deliberately disrupt the recording process. If you don't pay us, we won't be able to shoot the show!"

Liu Dehua continued: "Before filming, I was asked to pay 5 Hong Kong dollars for protection, and then I had to pay 5 Hong Kong dollars on time every day. I had to pay another 3 Hong Kong dollars for dismantling the set, otherwise I would burn the set..."

"'The Thundering Dragon and Tiger Club'?"

Liu Dehua nodded: "Yes, the production company of this movie is called Fuyi, and the boss of the company and the film producer is called Cai Ziming, the big boss back then... It wasn't me who was forced with a gun, it was my agent who was pointed at his head with a gun. I had no choice but to act in it!"

"Dragon Tiger Club" is truly a magical work. It is the only movie so far that has been acknowledged and confirmed by insiders that actors were forced to film by evil forces. It is also the only movie in history where the male and female protagonists die within five minutes of their appearance at the beginning of the film.

The Hong Kong film industry was indeed quite dark in the past.

For example, when it was heard that a certain big shot had assaulted her, Anita Mui brought a bunch of tourists to watch - in their opinion, it was just entertainment!

Then she lost her mind.

"It's been much better in recent years, mainly because there are not many movies being invested in..."

Shen Liang scratched his head: "I still think there is a market for action movies..."

"Let's take a look..."

Shen Liang did not continue the topic and asked Rao Xiaozhi: "The Crowd will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday next year, is that okay?"

"Happy New Year?"

"What's the matter? Do you want to compete with Underworld during the summer or during the Spring Festival?"

"I guess it won't be in time for the summer season, so let's go for the Lunar New Year season..." Upon hearing this, Rao Xiaozhi decisively chose the Lunar New Year season, and then thought of something: "...your new movie will be released on the 6th of next month, do you want to take a leave to promote it?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it later..."
