I won the prize again! Congratulations to Andy Lau

Release time:Apr 15, 2024 10:20 AM

The 48th Toronto International Film Festival will open in Toronto, Canada on September 7th. The Chinese film "Mr. Red Carpet," directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau, has been selected for the exhibition unit and will have its world premiere during the festival. To the double happiness of the crew of "Mr. Red Carpet", the Toronto Film Festival Organizing Committee also announced that actor Andy Lau will be awarded the "Special Contribution Award", which is also the first Chinese filmmaker to receive this honor.

As one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, the Toronto International Film Festival has always been a focus of attention for filmmakers around the world. In recent years, the festival has continued to pay attention to Chinese films and filmmakers. In addition to showcasing local Chinese films, it has also founded the Asian Film Summit to promote exchanges between the Eastern and Western film industries.

The Special Contribution Award won by Andy Lau this time is one of the "Annual Contribution Awards" at the Toronto Film Festival. The reporter saw on the official website of the film festival that the award aims to recognize outstanding contributors and their achievements in the film industry, covering directors, actors, industry workers, artists, etc. The first Chinese American Oscar winner, Michelle Yeung, also received this honor last year.

Cameron Bailey, CEO of the Toronto Film Festival Organizing Committee, commented on Andy Lau: "As an industry idol and a comprehensive artist with all-round development, Mr. Liu has amazing film experience, paving the way for a representative actor." It is reported that the organizing committee will award Andy Lau awards during the film festival.

In addition, according to the schedule on the official website of the film festival, Andy Lau will also participate in a dialogue segment at the Toronto Film Festival on September 16th, sharing his experience as an actor, producer, and legendary singer with audiences around the world. At the same time, he will also introduce his new work "Mr. Red Carpet" to everyone.

Public information shows that "Mr. Red Carpet" is a satirical comedy that focuses on the entertainment industry's fame and fortune field. Andy Lau plays a "superstar" in the film. After repeatedly failing to win awards, he tries to win international awards by starring in rural themed films. In order to play this role well, the "superstar" goes deep into the countryside to experience life, but the situation is frequent, causing constant farce. From the plot perspective, this seems to be a work tailored by director Ning Hao for Andy Lau.

It is worth mentioning that although "Mr. Red Carpet" is the first collaboration between Ning Hao and Andy Lau, their fate has a long history and is a classic and timeless story in the Chinese film industry.

In 2006, with the support of Andy Lau's "Asian New Star Director" New Director Support Program, Director Ning Hao filmed "Crazy Stone", which established the style of "Ning style comedy" and filled the market gap in domestic black humor films. The unprecedented success of "Crazy Stone" has enabled Ning Hao to firmly establish himself in the Chinese film industry and also gave him the ability to help more newcomers to the film industry.

Many fans may still remember that Andy Lau did not appear in the first installment of "The Wandering Earth," but the movie was subtitled with "Thank you, Mr. Andy Lau.". The reason behind this is that when Guo Fan was filming "Wandering Earth", he was seriously short of funds and often went to the neighboring director Ning Hao's "Crazy Aliens" set to "grab things". The generous Ning Hao not only provided many free resources, but also generously sold the props and astronaut uniforms.

Guo Fan expressed his gratitude to Ning Hao in the ending credits, but Ning Hao suggested that he thank Andy Lau because it was Andy Lau's investment in Crazy Stone that led to Ning Hao's later success. Perhaps you already know that the summer blockbuster "All for One", which has already surpassed 3 billion yuan in box office revenue, was invested by Ning Hao.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
