Recently, the China Film Association Congress has just ended, Andy Lau was elected vice chairman of the new film association, so that netizens witnessed his "Jianghu status" in the entertainment industry.
And the "Hong Kong Performing Arts Association" on the Hong Kong side has just concluded its new election. The Hong Kong Performing Arts Association is the "Performing artists Union" initiated by Anita Mui, Jackie Chan, Xu Guanwen, Chow Yun-fat and other Hong Kong stars in 1993. At present, it has 800 members, most of them are Hong Kong artists, and a small number are from the mainland and Taiwan Province.
The presidents of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association have all been Hong Kong stars with a certain status and influence in the Hong Kong circle, including Xu Guanwen, Anita Mui, Jackie Chan, Tsang Chi-wai and Alan Tam, and since 2018, the 13th president has been Louis Koo.
After the re-election of the Hong Kong Association for Performing Arts, the 53-year-old Louis Koo was re-elected to the post of "president" for the fourth time.
Yu Anan and Qian Jiale were elected "vice president", Zhang Jicong held the post of "secretary-general" and Zhou Jiayi served as "treasurer", responsible for the finance of the meeting.
It can be seen that the core figures in the new election of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association are some Hong Kong stars who focus on the local development of the Hong Kong circle. even though the president, Louis Koo, is well-known in the mainland, his career is also focused on Hong Kong, and he seldom comes to the mainland for development.
Compared with Andy Lau, who frequently appears at various large-scale events in the mainland, Louis Koo rarely attends award ceremonies or other large-scale events on the mainland. The most recent high-profile was when he came to the mainland to promote the new film "A Chronicle of tomorrow" two years ago, when he attended the Beijing Film Festival.
If you compare Louis Koo and Andy Lau, the seniority and reputation of Louis Koo in the circle may not be comparable to that of Andy Lau, but the "quack status" of Louis Koo in the Hong Kong circle today is a real "top existence." From a group photo, we can see the position of Louis Koo in the Hong Kong circle.
Andy Lau has a high salary in the mainland, not only as the vice chairman of the "Chinese Film Association", but also sitting next to Chen Daoming or Wu Jing whenever he attends large events.
However, when it came to the "King's Film Tour" of the Hong Kong Circle, Andy Lau could only stand in the center of the second row, representing his influence as an actor in the Hong Kong circle, while the first row was Yang Shoucheng, the emperor's boss. Boss Boehner in Dong, Huayi boss Wang Zhonglei and other "capital" bosses.
And Gu Tianle is standing in the first row, and the position is closer to the C position than Wang Zhonglei, it is conceivable that Gu Tianle's strength. Gu Tianle is not only a top performer in the circle, but also the president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association. More importantly, he is also a "capital".
As early as many years ago, Louis Koo started his own path of being a "movie boss" and founded the "one under the World" company. Andy Lau laments that he is "not as good as" Louis Koo. He is a real "movie tycoon." he is only engaged in film creation.
Before, Hong Kong Star revealed that Koo Tien-Lok pays his employees as much as NT $4 million a month. As he said, being very rich and making money so hard is not for himself, but also to support some of the Hong Kong stars who work for themselves.
Of course, Gu Tianle's position in Hong Kong circle is not only because of his "financial resources", but also inseparable from his contribution to Hong Kong films and charity achievements.
Over the years, Louis Koo has been committed to the development of the Hong Kong film industry. Zhang Jiahui said that Louis Koo is not just talking about it, but has really paid something for Hong Kong films.
As president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, his responsibilities are even greater. During the epidemic, Gu Tianle took the lead in granting 9000 yuan in relief to each "unemployed artist".
Actor Lin Xue once said that most of the films made in Hong Kong are funded by Louis Koo, and all his films are invested by Louis Koo. Although Louis Koo is only 53 years old, the older generation of actors in Hong Kong are very convinced of him. Hong Kong's obvious philanthropists except Andy Lau is Louis Koo, the others are just talking.
Moreover, Louis Koo is not only doing charity in Hong Kong, but also very active in the mainland. As early as 2009, Louis Koo set up the Koo Tin Lok Charitable Foundation, mainly to help poor mountainous areas in the mainland. so far, tens of millions of donations have been donated, and he has donated hundreds of schools in the mountainous areas.
With strength and kindness, it is no wonder that Louis Koo, who is only 53 years old, has become the "president" of the entire Hong Kong community. In fact, his status in the eyes of mainland netizens is also very high.
