The newest member of the 21st century movie industry, Louis Koo, was once a cynic, and after a tragic fall in his teenage years, he knows how to cherish life. Since signing on with TVB in 1993, he has been working hard and quietly, and has been highly regarded for his role in "The Divine Eagles", in which he played the role of Yang Zu, who is both good and evil. It was not until 1999 that Louis Koo won the TVB's "Most Popular Actor" award. After six years of hard work, his acting skills were finally recognized and he was on his way to the top. The movie market is slow, but he has a big harvest of prosperous field, become a movie circle in 1999 movie actor, a continuous shooting ten movies, income of more than ten million.
Have wit: calm and judgmental Louis Koo, understand that the entertainment industry is a red and white, unpredictable world, so he knows his place, should be publicized when publicity, should be low-profile when low-profile. He never picks his roles. Today he plays a kind-hearted mute, tomorrow he plays a traitor, and he hones his acting skills. In addition, this handsome young man can not be without half a girlfriend, but he is good at dealing with gossip, so that people feel that he is not too philandering, only one unfailing confidante, but also from the media have never succeeded in taking pictures of him dating.
Koo's acting career ...
In the fall of 1988, Louis Koo was released from prison at the age of 18.
Returning home, Koo pored over Hong Kong's major newspapers every day, looking for job announcements.
He was eager to find a job that would allow him to earn his own living.
One day, he went to visit his uncle's house, who worked for PolyGram in Hong Kong.
"Koo, it's not a good idea for you to stay at home and do nothing," his uncle said to Koo with concern, "Why don't I take you to meet someone? I think you're a talented man, and you sing well, so you're quite suitable to be a back-up singer and dancer."
Gu Tianle looked at his uncle half-heartedly, not commenting.
"Uncle Ku is doing this for your own good." Father persuaded.
In Gu Tianle's mind, the men and women who danced around behind the singer had the least amount of weight, and were just shadows of the singer - not even shadows.
It's a bunch of moving puppets, with no artistic life and no flair for individuality.
And Koo pursues the kind of career that best embodies the spirit of creativity, aspires to intense sports, high-speed drag racing, and a drenching expression of his true self.
However, under his father's coercion, Koo nodded to his uncle against his will.
1 meter 81 meters tall body thick eyebrows and big eyes, contour line proportionate, vivid face, coupled with the muscle white and strong, full of youthful vitality and male masculinity charm, Louis Vuitton Outlet Online was karaoke accompanied by singing with the old boss at a glance.
Under the mercury lamp, in front of the microphone, singing and dancing slowly, romantic and lyrical.
In the small dance stage in fancy dress, dashing around, involving many ladies on stage envious, marvelous eyes.
Sometimes Koo also undertakes advertisements for goods and does advertisement modeling, the streets and alleys, beautifully printed product descriptions have Koo's figure, in being enlarged into giant advertisements hanging on skyscrapers to show his smile.
The unknown Louis Koo soon became the "Prince of Backing Vocals".
If Louis Koo is content to be the behind-the-scenes "Prince of the Backup Singers" and doesn't want to make any progress, he'll have a very good life, with a good salary, an easy job, and a beautiful woman around him, so there's no worry about not being able to choose an ideal couple to form a sweet little family, and grow old together.
No, Koo will never be satisfied with his current situation.
He is a crouching dragon hiding a tiger, and will pour out his nest at the first opportunity to show off. He has his eye on the movie and entertainment industry.
Many people who eat entertainment will never be as good as me, so why did they enter the circle while I still hover outside it?
Koo often blamed himself like this, in agony.
Later, Koo recalled to a reporter that at that time, he was like a wild horse tethered to a trough, manic and restless, aspiring to a great height, but struggling to find a way out.
Night Hong Kong.
The darkness of the night is lined with, and delicately woven with, strings of neon lights that sparkle and combine to form all kinds of words and patterns.
Like weaving a colorful dream, disillusionment and brilliance, all in a flash.
At this moment, in the Hong Kong TVB building, men and women are gathered in the spacious hall, listening attentively to the teacher on the podium.
This is the fifth artist training class at the TV Professional Training Center, and they are having a class on "Artiste Psychology".
Sitting against the left wall, in the last row of seats, was a large boy, rustling something in his notebook.
He was Louis Koo, fresh from singing backup vocals at a karaoke lounge and rushing to the class.
He was just a spectator.
No one paid any attention to him.
And in the final exam, Koo came out on top, shockingly.
Many trainee artists have squeezed their brains to compete unsuccessfully for TVB's contracted artistes.
And Koo succeeded.
In 1993, at the age of 23, Louis scrawled his name on a contract with great panache.
He became a full-time agent and contracted artist for TVB (Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts Limited), which he had always dreamed of.
Mustang finally broke into the entertainment industry.
From then on, he galloped across the country and became a millionaire ......
"Yang" whirlwind
Koo was a well-known model on the runway, and his tall, well-proportioned appearance allowed him to make a name for himself in the fashion industry.
After joining TVB, he was faced with a brand new acting career, and he was more than confident to devote himself to filming.
Koo began to make a name for himself by appearing in six television series.
The dramas included "Marriage Story", "Ah Sir's Morning", "The Sung Family", "New God's Eagles", "Men of Heaven and Earth" and "The Scimitar". Koo said that he goes through a different phase with every drama he does. After a period of adaptation, transformation and metamorphosis, Koo has gone from a layman who had no idea how to act to a famous actor who knows how to act and how to experiment with the art of different acting styles depending on fashion and costume films.
The new movie "New Gods and Heroes" has made Koo a big hit, but it is also the movie that has made him y emotional.
He said: "'New Divine Eagle Warriors' started me as the male lead, Yang Qiao, which gave me a lot of pressure, quite a lot of pressure. At that time, I was still a newcomer, I had never done a costume movie before, and the public opinion was negative. Maybe it was because Andy Lau's 'Passion' was too popular! But I told myself to act with all my heart, at least I can afford myself."
After the broadcast of "New God Eagle Warriors", the image of the male lead played by Louis Koo as "Yang" was immediately loved by the Taiwanese audience, especially female fans, who were fascinated by Louis Koo's portrayal of Yang as a tall and strong man with a tough and handsome look, and white and delicate skin.
In Taiwan immediately set up a fan club, female fans can not help but indoor posting of the ancient costume of Koo's stills, in the bedside photo album, clip a few color prints of Yang is also very fashionable, very natural thing.
There is a reason for the growing popularity of Louis Koo and the audience's acceptance of his wholesome and fresh young man image.
Looking at the roles played by Louis Koo, from the first debut of "Marriage Story" in the shy boy, like the heroine Chen Songling and do not dare to confess, to the "New Divine Eagle Warrior Couple" in the love of aunt Xiao Longnu, 16 long years, the feelings of the dedicated, love of the Yangzui, Louis Koo completely in a pure love, obsessed with love, kind-hearted and cynical image in front of the audience, so that the audience in the heart to produce a **** song.
People love the love of Yang, so they love Louis Vuitton, because he played the character of Yang alive, played the best.
"New Divine Eagle Warriors" was filmed and broadcast during the time when the Hong Kong media uncovered Louis Koo's past, and anyone who was interested knew about Koo's triad background.
However, the more the media hyped him up, the more popular Koo became.
Instead of despising him for his past crimes, the audience forgave him for his transgressions and loved the prodigal son even more.
Goodness willing, Koo finally took the role of "Yeung Choi" to the hearts of the people, and it became one of his masterpieces.
He said, "Every actor wants to have a masterpiece that is recognized by the public, but it depends on chance, not just what you want to do, but also on luck."
"I've also done obscure dramas and stayed up for many years, people must not remember!"
"But I never gave up, I believe God is fair, if you do your best, you will meet a good role one day."
"Never gave up", Koo said well and did even better. It is with this spirit of hard work and perseverance that he has won the glory of his acting career.
The "Yang" in the "New Eagle Warriors" is so powerful that not only has it become a hit, but it has also become a hit for Taiwan's "Zong'er", Ren Xianqi, who is also a member of the "New Eagle Warriors".
In early 1999, when Louis Koo came to Taiwan to promote "Yin Yang Road 4 with Ghosts", he took the time to meet with Ren Xianqi.
The two asked questions like old friends and ate lunch together.
Both of them have been working hard for many years, so they are more like heroes than heroes.
Ren said: "Acting I'm just a flower arranger, please teach me more."
Koo, on the other hand, replied, "I like your 'Heart Too Soft' very much, and I'll have to ask you for singing tips sometime!"
In '98, a whirlwind of "Yang Zong" fame nearly brought Louis Koo to stardom.
In '99, he continued to be a hit in the midst of a recession, and RTHK was the most popular station in the world.

The publicity for the new album "Happy Days" was abruptly halted, seriously affecting its sales.
The new "You're Beautiful, I'm Noble" is a lyrical slow-burner that's not too bad, while the Mandarin version of "Kissed, Kissed, Loved," "No Broken Sentence," is just average. The Mandarin version of "Kiss But Love But Not" is just average, and the Mandarin version of "No Broken Phrases" is even more ordinary than the Chinese version.
