"Shanzhai" Andy Lau is even hotter than the Buddha-figure!
A man who looks very much like Hong Kong and Taiwan superstar Andy Lau quickly became popular in the entertainment industry with a familiar face. 、
Variety shows, movies, and even the concerts he held have many people rushing to participate.
I want to see how similar he looks to Andy Lau.
He not only frequently appeared on major TV programs, but also paid hundreds of thousands of yuan, which can be described as "overnight popularity".
Such a "copycat star" seems to easily reach the peak of life, but it must have put in a lot of effort.
However, after becoming famous, his approach made the majority of netizens and fans very dissatisfied.
Stealing the limelight from the Buddha-figure, he really regarded himself as a big-name star.
Did he just rely on one face to get rich, or was he outstanding?
I. Who is the imitator
Jiao Haiyu was born in an ordinary rural family, his parents worked in agriculture for a living, and the family conditions were very simple.
Teaching Haiyu's studies was not excellent, so he chose to drop out of junior high school and go out to work to make a living.
At first, I started working as a handyman in a small restaurant, and the repetitive work day after day made Jiao Hai feel bored.
He later chose to drive a taxi, hoping to live a freer life.
Once, Jiao Hai received reporters from two TV stations.
The reporters were surprised to find that Jiao Haiyu looked like Andy Lau, the king of heaven, and even spoke in a similar voice.
This gave Jiao Hai a hint that perhaps he could change his fate by imitating Andy Lau.
Jiao Haiyu began to immerse himself in the study of Andy Lau's music, recording and practicing repeatedly.
He once participated in the National Young Singer Competition, and the host he met through the competition helped him connect with a bar to sing.
Teach Hai Tuo to seize the opportunity and polish his imitation skills step by step.
Not only did he work on the resemblance in appearance, but he also paid attention to changing his accent.
Through unremitting efforts, Jiao Haiyu successfully shaped a "little Andy Lau" and began to attract attention.
However, the accent problem of teaching Haiyu has always plagued him.
As a Northeasterner, his accent is far from Andy Lau.
He began to learn Cantonese pronunciation, but changing his accent required a long period of training.
Once after the performance, Jiao Hai casually said a few words of northeastern dialect, which immediately exposed his true voice.
Jiao Haiyu realized that the accent problem must be solved with great effort, otherwise he would not be able to perfectly imitate Andy Lau.
In order to train his pronunciation, he bought a large number of Andy Lau's albums and repeatedly imitated his tone of voice.
After practicing for a few hours a day, his Cantonese improved significantly.
Not only is there a lot of standard pronunciation when singing, but I have basically changed the northeastern accent when I usually communicate.
Jiao Haiyu also began to study Andy Lau's expressions and movements.
He installed a large mirror in the rental house to observe whether his every move was consistent with Andy Lau.
Once, when Jiao Haiyu imitated Andy Lau's signature smile, his smile was stiff and unnatural.
This made him realize that expression management also needs deliberate training and cannot be limited to superficial imitation.
After long-term efforts, Jiao Haituo successfully created a living "Andy Lau".
He no longer simply relies on physical similarities to get attention, but internalizes Andy Lau's temperament and expression in his heart.
This laid the foundation for his later successful role as Andy Lau's stand-in in the TV series.
Jiao Haiyu found his stage from an ordinary rural youth through the imitation of stars.
Despite the many hardships he endured in the middle, he did not give up the courage to pursue his dreams.
Not only that, because he imitated very well, but also successfully won the favor of Andy Lau.
Since then, this "copycat Andy Lau" has become famous in a battle, and his fame is even greater than that of many stars.
Two. How to become a stand-in?
After becoming famous, a company that packaged copycat stars found out to teach the sea boom.
Sign him on and start building his star image.
The company gave Jiao Haiyu more opportunities to perform, allowing him to tour the country.
The popularity of Jiao Hai has gradually increased, and the number of fans has also increased.
In 2008, Jiao Haiyu came to the CCTV stage as he wished.
In a famous imitation show, he won the championship for two consecutive years with superb acting skills and successfully promoted to the first-line star.
The host Bi Fujian also gave him a very loud nickname "High Imitation Andy Lau".
The overnight popular god became a popular idol.
But he was not satisfied.
Teach Haiyu to continue to work hard to maintain his image, be strict with himself, and constantly learn and improve.
He knew that he could become popular because of his imitation of Andy Lau.
Therefore, Jiao Haituo worked harder to interpret Andy Lau's works, hoping to become Andy Lau's official stand-in one day.
In 2009, Jiao Haiyu became Andy Lau's movie stand-in as he wished.
At that time, many viewers even mistakenly thought that the protagonist of the movie was Andy Lau himself.
They all came to the idol, and the result was a big hit for the movie.
Three. After becoming famous, the mentality changed
Teach him because he is very similar in appearance to the famous singer Andy Lau.
He began to earn a living by imitating Andy Lau's songs and dances at some village and town events.
This was originally just a small business to teach Hai Tuo to earn some pocket money.
Until one day, with this specialty, Jiao Haiyu participated in the influential domestic talent show "Dream Theater" at that time.
And became a hit in the show.
In those days, the impact of similar talent shows was unimaginable now.
Jiao Hai's appearance immediately made him popular throughout the country, and invitations from all over the country poured in.
The appearance fee alone, from the first few hundred yuan, soon rose to hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
For an ordinary person born in the countryside of the northeast.
This earth-shaking life change is obviously beyond the imagination of Jiao Hai.
He had always lived a simple life, with no systematic education, let alone contact with wealthy and high-ranking officials.
After becoming popular overnight, Jiao Hai found that he could stay in the most luxurious hotel.
Drive the most expensive sports car and have bodyguards with you.
This huge contrast made it a little difficult for Jiao Hai to adapt to for a while.
He began to become blind, arrogant and arrogant, completely forgetting that he was just a copycat version of Andy Lau.
Teaching Hai Tuan not only lives a luxurious life, but also surpasses the real Andy Lau.
This is very different from Andy Lau's usual humble and low-key image, which gradually attracted public criticism.
Everyone is no longer satisfied with his way of "playing big names".
It is rumored that his performance fee was as high as 7 figures.
This is a price that is unimaginable to many ordinary people.
He easily became a big star with the identity of a "copycat Andy Lau".
It is said that people are easy to float when they are popular, and it is easier to make mistakes.
It's a pity that Jiao Haituo failed to resist the temptation of fame and fortune, and eventually became an obstacle to his own success.
Later, the audience developed aesthetic fatigue with its performance, and the cause of teaching Hai Tuan collapsed.
He tried to rise again by learning new skills and launching new works, but it was too late and the tide was gone.
Few people now remember a man who looked very similar to Andy Lau.
Therefore, if you are lucky enough to become popular, don't forget your original intention.
Only in this way can we continue the journey of wonderful life in one peak after another.
Four. The current state of the stand-in
Once he had unlimited scenery, and easily lived a dream life that others could not reach by imitating Andy Lau.
Many people are sighing that hard work is not as good as others giving birth to a good face.
Whenever Jiao Hai opened his mouth to speak or sing, the audience seemed to see Andy Lau himself.
However, the red fire of the teaching sea soon retreated.
Over time, the masses grew tired of pure parody shows.
Jiao Haiyu wants to transform, but has not been able to get rid of Andy Lau's shadow.
He tried to release original singles, but found that his singing strength was limited and it was difficult to attract listeners.
More importantly, in the Internet era, all kinds of new talents have emerged, and the aesthetics of the audience have become increasingly diverse.
Just having a face like Andy Lau is no longer enough for Jiao Hai to continue to stand on the cusp.
After experiencing the ups and downs of his career, Jiao Hai gradually faded out of the public eye.
He is no longer a big household name and can only show his face in some humble roles.
Even on social media, it's hard to see him.
No longer as keen to expose his life as before, he has become accustomed to a calm pace of life.
When Andy Lau's new film began to be filmed, Jiao Haiyu still received a job offer as a film stand-in.
The film side needs to teach Hai Tuo to complete some difficult performances for Andy Lau in action scenes.
Despite being just an inconspicuous little role, Jiao Haiyu is still dutiful.
Hope to repay Andy Lau's trust in the best condition.
After the movie was completed, Jiao Haiyu faded out of vision again and returned to his quiet life.
It is difficult to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry by relying solely on imitation performances.
If you want to develop in the long term, you must have unique artistic talent and rich creative ability.
in order to win the lasting love of the audience.
The story of teaching Hai Qiao also makes people reflect, and being popular does not mean that the future road is open.
In the face of the changes of the times and the challenges of the environment, every artist needs to continue to learn and improve in order to go further.
end
The life experience of teaching Hai Tuo warns us that it is easy to become famous and difficult to keep a name.
The path to imitating someone else's success is also not so easy to follow.
You have to find your own stage to last.
Success may be short-lived, but true perseverance can go a long way.
Whether he still has a chance to get back on track and get on the right track, only time will tell.
What will we think of him then?
