Idols are not old, and their strength is eternal. This is the perception of Andy Lau by countless fans.
On July 5th, the top king of the Chinese music scene came with his "IsTheDay Today" world tour and sang in Shanghai. And at the scene, Andy Lau's dedication was so shocking that it was heartbreaking!
At the age of 63, he has tried difficult moves on stage again and again, not to mention a young man, even a professional dancer may not be able to do it.
What made all the audience exclaim was Andy Lau's frightening "slippery kneeling" action. I saw that he first slid all the way down from the high platform, and even though his knees were weak, almost all of the whole person knelt on the ground!
Take a closer look, Andy Lau's half knee actually poked out of the stage! The ground is so hard and cold, if you really hit the knee, I am afraid that it will cause serious joint injury.
Fortunately, Andy's on-the-spot reaction was quick enough, and he supported his body with his hands in time at the last second of losing his balance, otherwise it would not be good to fall out of the stage.
For a while, the audience was frightened by this thrilling scene, and they covered their mouths and exclaimed. But soon everyone found out that this action was one of Andy Lau's well-designed stage effects, creating a cool and stylish visual effect for his peak classic track "Ice Rain".
But even if it is an action prepared in advance, such a joke about life safety still makes people feel uneasy. Andy Lau is old, and it is when his bones begin to gradually become fragile, if something really goes wrong, it will be more than worth the loss. So when I sighed at Andy Lau's dedication, I had to pinch a cold sweat for him.
But in the final analysis, the reason why Andy Lau is willing to perform so hard is also out of sincerity to the fans. At the scene, he asked the crowd, "Are there any post-00s on the field today", and when he received a warm response from the audience and knew that the youngest audience was only 8 years old, Andy Lau was obviously very moved.
There were so many young people who regarded him as an idol back then, and now there is a new generation of young people who are attached to him, which is the biggest affirmation of Andy Lau.
Perhaps it is out of gratitude to these new and old fans that Andy Lau will do every detail to the extreme. At the concert site, he also specially invited a beautiful backup dancer to bring everyone a double enjoyment of audio-visual.
For example, at the scene of the famous love song "Love You for 10,000 Years", the accompanying dancers were fully armed, dancing in white dresses, and Andy Lau's warm and romantic scene of "you and me" on the stage made countless audiences intoxicated.
And every time he is in love, Andy Lau can't hide his excitement. According to media reports, he wet his eyes with tears more than once at concerts.
At one time, even when the song "Men Cry, It's Not a Sin to Cry" sounded, Andy Lau sang directly to tears. Seeing the sincere performance of the idol, the fans in the audience were even more happy, and shouted "Our Andy is awesome" and other words of encouragement.
There are some warm little easter eggs, which make the atmosphere of the scene reach a climax. For example, after Andy Lau finished singing a song, he suddenly warmly made an OK gesture to all the audience, and he seemed to be the most amiable "Andy brother" around everyone with a smile on his face.
This small interaction undoubtedly shortened the distance between the two parties a lot and added a lot of intimacy.
In addition to the excitement on the stage, Andy Lau has put a lot of effort into music arrangement. For example, in this performance in Shanghai, he deliberately rearranged the well-known "Shanghai Tang", which made many Shanghai audiences feel full of nostalgia and intimacy.
In addition, the golden songs that were sung all over the streets and alleys were also reproduced on the spot, Andy Lau's voice is still calm and powerful, and it has not been diluted by the years at all.
So don't look at Andy Lau is 63 years old, but with his dedication to his profession and his dedication to fans, the whole concert is undoubtedly a complete audio-visual feast.
Even audiences who are usually not interested in pop music were amazed to see such an excellent scene. Many netizens said that seeing Andy Lau in such a dedicated state, "I really don't look like a 63-year-old person!"
Perhaps it is precisely because Andy Lau has left a deep impression on the audience that his concert in Shanghai does not need any paparazzi to brush up the heat at all.
Just relying on the thunderous "sliding and kneeling" scene, countless netizens have already called "Andy is too hard". It shows that Andy Lau's tour is popular all over the Internet, and the influence is really breathtaking.
From the initial suspicion and apprehension, to the current solemn and straightforward excess, Andy Lau can be said to have justified himself with professionalism and dedication.
It seems that for a singer of his level and weight, the stage is always the place where he speaks most sincerely, rather than the power field and vanity fair. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will never look old, and you will always be worthy of people's expectation and love. This is where the responsibility and charm of idols lie.
