Headline: Andy Lau's white gown deserves to be commended
Among the male stars attending Golden Horse Awards, Andy Lau with his white gown is the most praise-worthy. Andy's recent dress fashion is better than before, has improved, should be awarded with Best Dressed Males award, said Wen Li Xian. [...I dont know who, maybe someone in fashion circle.]
Actually every designer has different themes in different seasons, lately Andy's dress fashion is very Chinese, in different colors of Chinese suits, the cuttings is beautiful! Accodringly, this white gown idea came from him, he gave it to his personal designer Amy Wong, she designed & tailored for him.

After returning from TW, Andy went for the promo of Ah Hu over Metro Radio. He joked that after supporting others he has to support himself.
The stn presented him with a golden tiger, to wish him success in the movie, as in the Chinese saying 'Real Gold is Not Afraid of Fire'.
The theme song of Ah Hu was sung by Andy. Andy said he has no problem in singing the song as he is the only male lead, unlike the movie starring Aaron & Wang Lihom.
He had invited Takako to duet with him. He wanted to sing Loving U Not Enough with her, he taught her the Cantonese lyrics, but she had problems even with the title of the song, it sounded like some vulgar words instead!
Andy changed the lyrics to Japanese, but she was v nervous with the recording, saying she is not a singer! Despite the encouragement given by Andy not to give up, she simply refused to sing, so Andy had to sing solo.
In Golden Horse Awards, Andy had predicted Tony Leung & Sammi as Best Actor & Actress, which were all wrong. He predicted Johnny To as Best Director but people gave him a 'dislain look', true enough Johnny clinched the award.

Andy, as host, performed the duty of giving Takako Tokiwa a farewell dinner after her 5 days stay in HK 2 nights ago. A gp of 10 over people left andylau.com office in 2 cars & headed for a restaurant in Tsimshatsui for the steamboat dinner.
Through out the dinner Andy gave full attention & care to Takako, showing 'gentlemaness' of HK man. Takako faced with a manly Andy smiled charmingly all the time. The gp left the place at 11pm+, choking up a bill of HK$2,000+. Andy sent Takako to the car till the car went out of sight.
Takako does not take beef, she likes fish & round food stuff such as fish balls & dumplings. Andy ordered American beef clices, Canadian clamps, salmom slices, mixed balls, dumplings, carrot, vege, beer etc. [...yummy yum...]
Takako had never tried satay before, she saw Andy eating it & Andy coaxed her to try with the source, she tried one & liked it v much! Andy also introduced her to sour-plum soup, which she kept telling the reporters 'v good!' in Japanese. Andy tought her how to mix the source to eat too.
Takako in this movie acted as a nun who had a bad past history, in a raining scene Andy saw her sensual tattoo at her back. For this tattoo, Takako had to bare her upper body for a total of 5 hours, the scene had to be cleared too. Luckily she needed to do it once for that shot, unlike Andy who always bared his body, needed to be tattooed daily for an hour before shooting.
Andy said he once saw a Caucasian with a tattoo of rain water splashing out of a stone on the shoulder, he had a sudden interest to tattoo the body, but he was scared of needles & blood, [..not scared lah, Andy...]
so he dropped the idea. He wont dismiss the idea one day he will go for tattooing.
Andy will go to TW tomorrow for Golden Horse Awards as award presenter, together with Min Shen Pao director. He will also receive his Top 10 Idols Special Award.

Recently Andy had filmed a commercial for Tian Ma motorbike in Guangzhou. Andy had filmed Time Of Romance & Full Throttle before leaving much impression on the viewers, using him to advertise for the product is the most appropriate.
Andy's partner is a local art school student, she looks like a fat version of Kristy Young Gong Ru. Andy acted as himself, an actor being chased by his fans while having a motorbike race.
The theme is 'Man vehicle as one'
The ad was filmed on a grassland, other than Andy & his partner, there were 2 ladies & 1 man, all appearing as 'dare drivers', Andy's partner crouched on Andy's back seductively.
One road was closed for filming.
In real life, Andy has no driving license for motorbike, his filming was 'driving without a license', said he, "No need license to film ad, there were policemen to open the way for me, but after filming, the police said sorry to me, as he had not helped me to lead the way, I was too fast for him."
Andy said his mother & co disallowed him to ride motorbike, esp his mother, because his sis had an accident with the vehicle when young & needed 20 over stitches on the face. His brother who bought a motorbike secretly was forced to sell it off after 3 weeks because of his mother complaints.
On Nic Tse comment that Andy is his model, & will think of Andy when he couldnt do something, asked if Andy had taken any Chi Gong? Andy laughed, "What Chi Gong? I have never taken any special course! Other than working hard, it is important to work harmoniously with those around, the co shouldnt pamper the artist too much, but to remind him all the time."

Takako fimed a HK movie & did all the dubbing. Her best Cantonese words is not Byebye or How Are You, but 'Tiger is in the forest! Not in this small place like orphange!"
'Tiger is in the forest' this phase was dubbed 100 over times before it was finally accepted. The director had almost wanted to give up on her, but she kept trying until it was accepted, & now she could say this phase precisely with ease.
Takako insisted on dubbing herself as she felt the after effect is better, voive replaced by another person will devalue the quality.
She commented she is yet to meet a person like Andy, Andy is one with fantastic will power. Other than filming his part, he helped around in the scene, never mind abt the status details, he will buy tibits for all to eat & insisted she ate it, saying words in Cantonese to her. She hopes there is opportunity to work with him in future.
Takako said Ah Fu is a 100% movie, it depicts life philosophy, esp Andy & daughter relations, she shedded tears on watching it, the boxing scene was v exciting & stifling. She is confidence everyone will like the movie.
The tiger is in the forest, then whh place she likes to go the most?
"Most like to go Tsim Sha Tsui shopping! To the restaurant to eat prawn dumplings, eat 'Mandarin Duck' ham egg rice! haha, I like HK food the most!"
