"i was really scared, that's why i took the role."
i never thought that andy lau, the king of the entertainment industry, would be so humble before.
because he was very famous at that time, he was also targeted by some gangsters. in order to get andy lau to help them, they took out their guns.
at this time, andy lau also knew that if he refused, his head would definitely fall to the ground.
so at this time, he didn't hesitate and directly agreed.
at this time, many people were curious. at that time, andy lau and xiang tai had a very good relationship. in hong kong, xiang tai's family should be divided into black and white, so why didn't xiang tai react at all?
the reason is very simple, that is, the person who threatened him with a gun is too powerful!
as this person's identity surfaced, jet li was actually involved. what was going on?
the movie market is in chaos, stars are kidnapped one after another
the development of the hong kong film market in the last century can really be described as quite chaotic. many people want a piece of the pie.
therefore, the greater fame of many hong kong celebrities at this time is not necessarily a good thing. it is very likely that they will be targeted by these gangsters soon.
and indeed it is.
even senior producer wu dun said directly: it was very easy for him to enter the film industry at that time, that is, making money was really too easy compared with other industries.
just target some of the top actors at the time and call them directly to your crew.
if they don't agree, threaten them physically to get them to compromise. the moment they came to the set, they already started to generate value.
these people will directly hand out large-scale posters of celebrities. in this way, we can better control the traffic and lay the foundation for the subsequent release of the film.
at that time, many bigwigs in hong kong adopted this kind of behavior, and they did not think there was anything excessive.
wu dun also said directly in front of the camera:
"if i have thought about what scene i want to shoot, i will directly snatch these people back, and the people i snatch are all very capable people."
at this time, some people will definitely be curious, what should these actors do if they agree to other crews? do you want to give up the contracts of other crews?
in the face of life, they can only do this. because when these people decided to kidnap popular celebrities, they had already thought about how serious the consequences would be.
and if they still do this, it can only prove one thing, that is, they have a huge network of people behind them, and they don't have to worry about their actions being discovered.
therefore, even if these celebrities call the police, it will be of no use. instead, they will be maliciously targeted. therefore, each of these kidnapped celebrities had no choice but to compromise.
carina lau was also kidnapped at that time and disappeared for several hours.
after many well-known celebrities in hong kong learned about this incident, they did not dare to go out at all, fearing that one day they would become the second carina lau.
by the time she was rescued, no one knew what happened to her.
all i know is that she was unwilling to show her face in public during that period, and it took a long time for her to show her face again.
and when she showed up again, she no longer had the same happiness as before, giving people a very haggard feeling. this also made many people think that she might have been threatened during that time.
xiang tai ignored him and threatened andy lau with a gun
perhaps in the eyes of many people, after celebrities have achieved great achievements in the entertainment industry, they must be the targets of crazy support from major capitals.
looking at it now, it is indeed the case, so these celebrities will try every means to control more traffic for themselves. after all, only in this way can you create more value for yourself.
but in hong kong in the last century, that was not the case. many celebrities did not want to become too famous, otherwise they would be directly targeted by some dark forces.
at the beginning, they all just wanted to be submissive. after all, no one can afford to offend these black forces. at least their career development will be affected, and at worst, their life and safety will be threatened, so they can only continue to tolerate it.
so can this kind of tolerance really work?
you can see it from andy lau.
at that time, andy lau had an unrivaled position in hong kong's entertainment industry. not only was his acting skills outstanding, but he also had a wide network of contacts. he had a very good relationship with the xiang family, and it remains the same even now.
some time ago, andy lau accidentally had an accident during his concert and almost fell off the stage. when xiang taizai learned the news, he also sent a message to his friend as quickly as possible to see if his friend was okay?
at the same time, he also said that when he saw the news, he almost shed tears because he was afraid that something would happen to him.
it can be seen from xiang tai's anxious reaction that her relationship with andy lau is indeed very good, otherwise it would not be possible to send messages to each other in such a hurry.
at the same time, he has been told that it is good to pursue a career, but one must put his own safety first.
since the relationship between the two parties is so good, why didn't the xiangtai family react at all when andy lau had an accident in the last century?
the reason is simple. they can't afford to offend the person who kidnapped him, so they can only ignore it.
this person's name is cai ziming.
he felt that there was a lot of room for making money in the film field, so he directly became jet li's agent.
it can be said that jet li's career development was so prosperous at that time, and it had a certain relationship with cai ziming, but this was all later.
at the beginning, he set his sights on andy lau, not because he wanted to be his manager, but because he wanted to threaten him into helping him film.
andy lau was definitely not willing at first. after all, he still had a lot of things to be busy with, and he had also promised other crews. he really couldn't spare the time, so he chose to refuse.
but after he refused, cai ziming's true face was directly exposed, that is, he threatened him with a gun.
at this time, andy lau also knew that if he still didn't agree, his head would be blown.
therefore, we can only push other scripts to the back and finish filming the film that cai ziming asked himself to film first. and the reason why he is so bold is actually related to his ambition.
he hoped that he could make more money, only in this way can he be valued by others, and he was involved in many fields at that time, including infrastructure projects, restaurants, or jewelry stores, etc.
and later he went to the netherlands to develop. although he was unfamiliar with the place, he still carved his own path, and all of this was achieved by his ruthlessness.
targeting many top celebrities and eventually being shot dead
after returning to the hong kong market, he discovered that the film industry was indeed very popular. at that time, many people were rushing into this industry, but it was not easy to have the opportunity to work with these big-name actors.
at that time, cai ziming was not afraid at all. after returning to hong kong, he established a company of his own and began to discuss making movies.
at this time, cai ziming discovered one thing, that is, if he wants his film to become popular, he must find the very popular king andy lau.
later, after seeing that his personal safety was threatened, he had no choice but to agree. and after the filming of this movie, the money they gave andy lau was very small, and most of the benefits were kept by themselves.
after seeing how much money he could make from a movie, he began to look for suitable candidates.
at this time jet li was also targeted by him. however, when working with jet li, he did not take such excessive behavior.
he knew that if he kept threatening others like this, the other party would not be able to show his best, so he stepped forward when jet li encountered a crisis.
at that time, jet li had a conflict with his agency because he found that the money promised to him by the agency had not been received yet, and it kept accepting other scripts for him, which naturally made him resentful.
cai ziming seized the opportunity, directly snatched him into his company, and became his agent.
jet li's original agency saw how powerful the boss behind him was, and knew that there was nothing they could do even if they suffered a loss. after all, if he really faced off against the opponent, he would not be his opponent.
at this time, many celebrities in hong kong decided to unite and resolutely say no to these dark forces, including andy lau and chow yun-fat, as well as jackie chan. from the perspective of these people, the current hong kong market has been going downhill because of these dark forces.
however, this resistance did not have much effect.
it wasn't until 1992 that news came out that gave everyone new hope: cai ziming had been shot.
who was the man who shot him? there is currently no relevant news, but from what he has done before, we can know that he must have offended a lot of people.
after his death, the hong kong film market finally became less passive!
