  Talk about Chengdu

  "I often feel that Chengdu is by my side"

  Andy Lau is no stranger to Chengdu. He has visited Chengdu many times to promote films and also made films in Chengdu. In earlier years, Andy Lau had studied with the famous Sichuan opera master Peng Denghuai. Speaking of his feelings with Chengdu, Andy Lau said, "I don’t know why, but my feelings for Chengdu have been inseparable for a long time. It may be that Mr. Peng Denghuai was also here. Then during the Sichuan earthquake, I also met different people and communicated with everyone. Many fans are also doing some charity activities after the aftermath. I have shared with them. I often feel that Chengdu is by my side and is more friendly."

  In the new film "Anti-Drug 2", in addition to being the lead actor and producer, Andy Lau also wrote the lyrics for the film’s theme song "Brothers Do Not Doubt" and sang it with Koo Tianle. Speaking of why he was so dedicated to the film, Andy Lau replied: "In fact, as long as you love that thing, such as you love your home, you will clean your house every day. When I like my movie, I like my opponent, I like every shot, I like the director, I like the script, I like the feeling of the camera."

  Talk about new movies

  "Playing with Gu Tianle is just right"

  "Anti-Drug 2," as Andy Lau’s first film after his injury, was originally only a producer, but after reading the script, he was moved by the role and decided to play Yu Shun-tian, the chairperson of the Hong Kong Anti-Drug Commission. Some people say that "Anti-Drug 2" is a story between two generations of Yang Guo (Andy Lau and Koo Tianle) and a Yang Kang (Miao Qiaowei). Speaking of the original intention of acting in the film, Lau Dehua said, "I first knew that Gu Tianle played, and I was looking for another actor role, and then I decided to play Miao Qiaowei. The last one focused on brotherhood, and the anti-drug flavor was not so strong. This one has a visual impact. We did not carefully talk about how to fight drugs, but talked about the impact of drugs on life."

  "Anti-Drug 2" is the same frame as Gu Tianle on the big screen after "The Disciple" 12 years ago, and both of them have played the role of Yang Guo. Talking about the cooperation with Gu Tianle, Liu Dehua said, "I hope there will be a play in the future, the focus is on me and Gu Tianle. Now I think it’s just right, it’s a very good start. The two of us appear in front of the camera and everyone thinks it’s very interesting. This is the most interesting thing for me." Andy Lau also talked about the changes of Gu Tianle: "I think he has no problem in acting. Everyone has seen his progress along the way. I think he really looks like a movie tycoon now."

  Lau said that many actors are actually very cool in front of the camera, but in real life they are children. "I used to think it was difficult to enter the world of Koo Tianle, but now the two of us sit there and see the look in his eyes and see that we want to know each other, and then you will find that he is still a child in life."

  Talk about yourself

  "Worried about getting hurt again in filming"

  In 1981, Andy Lau starred in his film debut "Caiyun Song". Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was about to be in the film for 40 years. When asked if there would be a special work plan for 40 years in the film, Andy Lau replied: "There are no special arrangements. I started in the film in 1981, and you weren’t born at that time, right?" Andy Lau also took the initiative to talk to reporters about his state all the time: "I am a person who lives with the times. I have never felt that I am from which era. I thought about it. It turned out that Gu Tianle was born 12 years later than me, and then I waited for the next generation. Now what do you think is the difference between me and Huang Bo, and what is the difference between me and Shen Teng? For example, Jiang Wen, you don’t think there is a distance between me and him. I am someone who is willing to live in the present. "

  In "Anti-Drug 2", the audience praised Andy Lau’s acting skills, and he also talked about his understanding of "all-round actors": "Everyone’s interests are different. I used to write stage plays, so my original intention behind the scenes is still there, so you will find that in addition to performing in front of the camera, I have a lot of time behind the scenes. I pay more attention to the way I perform and create. We often discuss that Andy Lau should be like this, but in fact it may not be."

  "Drug Crackdown 2" is Andy Lau’s first film after the horse fall injury incident. Asking whether he is worried about injury in future filming, Andy Lau said: "I have to worry, but this is not the most important condition. I think it is still necessary to watch the movie. After the horse fall incident, the director will also measure according to my ability." Bomb Locker 2 "has more action than" Drug Crackdown 2 "."

  Today’s Andy Lau has a happy family, and his daughter is very well-behaved. Asked if he would consider taking on less bad characters for his daughter in the future, Andy Lau laughed: "No, except for pornography, I don’t care if other characters are good or bad."

  In "Anti-Drug 2," Andy Lau and Lin Jiaxin play a couple who are very happy. When asked about the secret of keeping love fresh in real life, Liu De replied: "I think it is a two-way street. For example, in the play, I love her and she loves me. But our personalities are different, so we separated, but our love did not run away."

  Talk about newcomers

  "It still depends on fate"

  In 2006, under the support of Andy Lau’s "Asian Rising Star Director" program, Ning Hao filmed the comedy "Crazy Stone", which was nominated for best picture and best director at the 43rd Golden Horse Awards. Speaking of the topic of "supporting newcomers", Lau Dehua said: "I still depend on fate, everyone thinks I have a good eye. In fact, as you can see now, they are already powerful, no matter who they are in the hands, they will shine."

  Andy Lau revealed that he happened to meet Ning Hao recently in Hong Kong. "He is doing neck treatment in Shenzhen, and we have more opportunities to meet. We talked again about’I have tried to be his boss, but I have never tried to be his actor. Do you want to try it? ‘He was still thinking, and he said,’ I don’t know what it’s like to shoot Andy Lau. ‘There are many newcomers around him, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Lu Yang, Guo Fan… They are people with different perspectives on movies. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can also work with them."

The woman pays the deposit to pick up the car, and the price is increased. 4S shop: The sales agreement is invalid without signing.

  On December 30, 2019, Ms. Cao of Wuhan reported to the complaint platform of the quality report that she bought a Cadillac XT5 sedan during the Wuhan Auto Show in November, signed a car booking agreement on the spot and paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan; However, when he was told to pick up the car at the end of December, he was told by the 4S shop that he needed to temporarily increase the price by 6,500 yuan, otherwise he would not leave the car.

  On January 2, 2020, the customer service staff of Wuhan Hengxin Xingkai Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd., which belongs to the 4S shop involved, told The Paper that the car booking price was supported by the manufacturer during the auto show, but because the customer picked up the car after the time supported by the auto show price, he could only raise the price or refund the deposit of 10,000 yuan. In addition, the vehicle booking agreement signed at the time of car booking is invalid because it is not signed by the sales consultant.

  Xing Xin, a partner of Hunan Jinzhou Law Firm, believes that the 4S shop asked for a fare increase when communicating with Ms. Cao to pick up the car, which shows that the validity of the agreement has not been denied. Ms. Cao has the right to protect her rights and interests by bringing a lawsuit to the court.

  Ms. Cao introduced that in November 2019, at the booth of Cadillac at Wuhan International Expo Center Auto Show, she ordered a black Cadillac XT5 sedan on the spot. After many times of communication with the sales, the price was 275,700 yuan. On the same day, she signed a car booking agreement and paid a car purchase deposit of 10,000 yuan. It was agreed with the sales that the date of picking up the car was "before New Year’s Day".

  After booking the car, Ms. Cao repeatedly asked about the time of picking up the car, and was told by the 4S shop that the booked car had not arrived at the store. On December 27th, the sales staff of 4S shop contacted Ms. Cao, saying that the car could be picked up, but it needed to increase the price by 6,500 yuan, otherwise the car booking agreement signed during the auto show would be invalid.

  Ms. Cao said that at the auto show, the salesperson told her that there was a special preferential price during the auto show, and she could not get this discount after the auto show. She only paid the deposit and signed a car booking agreement during the auto show.

  As can be seen from the car booking agreement provided by Ms. Cao, the agreement clearly indicates that the car price of the reserved car is 275,700 yuan, the delivery time is "the car arrives at the store" and Party B pays the full amount of the car, but it does not mention the specific time of picking up the car and the effective period of the car price.

  It is stated in the agreement that the agreement can take effect only after Party A (4S shop) seals it and Party B signs it, but there is no company seal or sales consultant signature on the agreement.

  On January 2, The Paper called Wuhan Hengxin Xingkai Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd., which belongs to the 4S shop involved. The customer service staff of the company said that in November, the customer signed an order for car booking at the auto show, and the price at that time was indeed supported by the manufacturer’s price. However, because the customer picked up the car after the auto show price support time, he could only pick up the car at a higher price.

  "If the customer picks up the car in November, we can still follow the agreed price, but now the price has gone up, from 275,700 to 282,700, and there is nothing we can do." The customer service said that the vehicle booking agreement needs to be signed by both the customer and the sales consultant, but Ms. Cao’s vehicle booking agreement is only signed by the customer and not signed by the sales consultant, which is an invalid agreement.

  In this regard, Ms. Cao said that the current status of the electronic agreement is indeed that the sales are pending. "But when booking a car, the agreement is operated by 4S shop sales on the APP, and the content is also written by them. At that time, I didn’t think so much. I signed it first, but I didn’t know it was so dishonest."

  On the afternoon of January 2, after many consultations, the customer service staff of Wuhan Hengxin Xingkai Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd. told The Paper that two solutions have been proposed at present: the first one is that the customer raises the price by 6,500 yuan to pick up the car; Second, if the customer is unwilling to add money, he can refund the deposit of 10 thousand yuan.

  In view of the above, Xing Xin, a partner of Hunan Jinzhou Law Firm, believes that the car booking agreement belongs to an electronic contract, and the salesperson, as an employee of the 4S shop, has acted as a duty behavior since the salesperson sent it to Ms. Cao, which can already be regarded as an invitation issued by the 4S shop. After Ms. Cao signed the agreement, it was regarded as a promise, and at the same time, Ms. Cao paid the deposit, and the agreement was established and came into effect. "The 4S shop asked for a fare increase when communicating with Ms. Cao to pick up the car, indicating that it did not deny the validity of the agreement, and it was also regarded as a de facto recognition of the validity of the agreement."

  Therefore, Xing Xin believes that the agreement does not take Ms. Cao’s car pick-up in November as a restrictive condition for the preferential car payment, and increases the price when picking up the car. Ms. Cao has the right to ask the 4S shop to continue to perform the agreement by bringing a lawsuit to the court.
