At a brand event held recently, actor Andy Lau declared: "By 2028, I will definitely become a director, everyone can rest assured".
Immediately after that, the information caused a stir on social networks. This is not the first time Andy Lau has mentioned his dream of becoming a director, but it is the first time he has announced a specific timeline.
According to information from the event, Andy Lau said that after completing the concert series expected in 2028, he will officially take on the role of director.
The actor also revealed that over the past 10 years, he has quietly composed many original scripts.
Many long-time fans emotionally said: "Waiting for 40 years, finally he is about to do this seriously".
In fact, Andy Lau's dream of becoming a director appeared very early.
In 1981, when he was only 20 years old and passed the 10th actor training course of TVB, his goal was not only to become an actor but also to develop in the direction of directing and screenwriting.
However, Luu Duc Hoa's subsequent path was acting and singing, making him one of the "Four Great Kings", winning the title "Film Emperor" and becoming a top star of the Hong Kong (China) entertainment industry. Only the title of director has been mentioned for many years but has not yet become a reality.
However, for more than 40 years, Andy Lau has never stood still.
In 1991, he founded Thien Mac Film Company (Teamwork Motion Pictures), participating in film production as a producer. Although he once made mistakes in market assessment and had to bear debts, this path still helped him accumulate a lot of experience.
In 2005, he initiated the project "Asian New Star Director", self-funding 25 million HKD to support 6 young directors, including Ningxiao, contributing to the birth of the classic film "Crazy stone".
In the following years, Andy Lau continued to take on the role of director, participating in the behind-the-scenes of more than 30 films, including "A simple life", "Lost and love", "Shock wave"...
In other words, although he has never officially been named director, he has experienced almost every job that a director needs to do.
The information that Andy Lau announced that he would become a director also received many different reactions from the online community. Some people believe that, with seriousness and many years of experience in the industry, he is fully capable of switching to directing.
However, many opinions expressed doubts, because not every actor who switches direction to direct is successful. Some people take cases like Jay Chou or Trieu Huu Dinh to compare and say: "Just wait until the movie is released and then evaluate".
Andy Lau was born in 1961, and is known as one of the "Four Great Kings" of the Hong Kong (China) entertainment industry in the 1990s.
He works as an actor, singer and producer. Andy Lau has participated in more than 170 films, notably through the works "Thien Nhua Tinh", "Dark War", "Infernal Dao", "Ten-faced Ambush", "Dich Nhan Kiet: The Empire of the Heavens"...
Andy Lau is recognized by both audiences and professionals, and has won the title of "Film Emperor" (Best Actor) many times at major awards such as Golden Statue, Golden Horse.
