Hawick Lau seems to be born without hot search attributes.

I remember that the last time he was on the hot search was when he divorced Yang Mi on December 22, 2018.

The last time was my wedding with Yang Mi in Bali in January 2014.

Hot searches are too far away, and they don’t seem to be from this era.

However, recently, a drama about year-end love has pushed Hawick Lau to the forefront again - "This Is Life".

Produced by Mango Channel, it is broadcast simultaneously by Tencent, iQiyi and Mango TV. The number of views on Tencent platform alone exceeds 240 million, which is not unpopular.

Hawick Lau, who was born in 1974 and is now 46 years old, has a love affair with Duling Chen, who was born in 1993 and is 19 years younger than him.

Among them, Hawick Lau left a deep impression on Mr. Tomato.

Among all the domineering presidents, Hawick Lau still has some unique flavor.

In "This Is Life", Hawick Lau plays the role of Guan Yihe, the deputy general manager in charge of an investment bank, and he is domineering as soon as he appears.

After barely reading it, I discovered that there were many errors in the report. I typed it back, but my female white-collar worker was so frightened that she had a miscarriage.

Without saying a word, Guan Yihe picked up the girl and ran to the hospital, while also arranging all the work.

With a cold and ruthless appearance but a warm and kind heart, a boss like Guan Yihe is somewhat different from those "assembly line" bosses who pretend to be harassing.

The most interesting thing is not this plot, but the development of love between him and the female intern Ye Xiaobai played by Chen Duling.

Although he obviously hopes that he will join the team, he still looks reluctant and needs his colleague Gao Shan to help him.

In the utility room, he was obviously very concerned about Ye Xiaobai, who had just lost his love, but he still pretended not to care.

Even if you get on the wrong bus, you will still be considerate and send you home.

Logically speaking, a boss who is over 40 years old should have seen strong winds and waves, often galloping horses, and it is easy to fool a little girl like this.

But Hawick Lau's Guan Yixue feels relatively pure.

Secretly eating Ye Xiaobai’s cooking brings out the little joy that a young person feels when he first falls in love and dare not express it.

From the eyes, you can see the spark of implicit love that Hawick Lau wants to express.

I haven’t watched many of Hawick Lau’s dramas before, but I have to admit that Hawick Lau is still remarkable.

At least he made a tyrant in love somewhat likable, with the look between Zhang Jiayi and Yu Hewei's eyes.

Especially when you laugh.

Looking through Hawick Lau's resume, you will find that his role as such a tyrant is actually quite consistent with his background.

Hawick Lau was born in Hong Kong and his ancestral home is Weihai, Shandong. When he was a teenager, he followed his family abroad and went to Canada.

Regardless of his life experience, family environment or the education he received since childhood, he was beyond the reach of ordinary people in the 1980s.

Hawick Lau’s father, Liu Qingji, was also an actor, so he attached great importance to Hawick Lau’s education. In the Hong Kong TVB version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Andy Lau, Liu Qingji also played Hong Qigong.

When he arrived at university, Hawick Lau had not yet embarked on the path of acting. Instead, he chose the Department of Architecture at a Canadian university.

If there was no all-Canadian Chinese singer audition, maybe there would be one less Liu Kaiwei in the entertainment industry, and maybe there would be one more designer Liu in the construction industry.

Hawick Lau won the first prize in this talent show. Later, because the singing competition was related to TVB, he followed his father's path and entered the TVB artist training class.

In 1994, Hawick Lau officially signed a contract with Hong Kong Wireless, which also meant his official debut.

After joining TVB, Hawick Lau did not give up his music dream. He had released albums and sang Cantonese songs, but none of them were lukewarm.

In 1999, he began to appear in TV series. Hawick Lau can be seen in the fashion business war dramas "Genesis", "Tart Love", "As You Like It" and other dramas.

But TVB’s stars were shining brightly at that time. In "Genesis" alone, there were Luo Jialiang, Chen Jinhong, Guo Jinan, Louis Koo, Wu Qilong...

In Hong Kong in the 1990s, people who wanted to be in the acting industry It’s so hard to circle people.

In 2005, Hawick Lau left TVB and traveled to Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong ATV, and participated in performances in some dramas.

In 2007, he decided to come to the mainland for development, and in order to integrate into the mainland environment, he began to force himself to speak Mandarin.

In 2008's "The Phoenix Wears Peony", he played the role of Huo Dongqing, a wealthy young man who returned from studying abroad, and gained countless fans.

Hawick Lau portrayed this role just right, and he personally began to make a name for himself in the Mainland.

In 2009, he starred in the rebellious but kind-hearted Gao Yaozong in the Republic of China drama "The Wife".

This drama helped him win the "Best Actor Award" at the Jiangsu TV Drama Awards Ceremony. After that, he gradually became popular for starring in the urban emotional drama "Snow on Thousand Mountains".

The character this time is not entirely positive. Mo Shaoqian is a domineering yet childish, shrewd and naive person, the prototype of today's overlord.

He has extraordinary abilities and also has moral stains such as betraying his wife, but many female viewers just like him very much, just like Song Siming.

Perhaps starting from "Twilight Snow on Thousand Mountains", Hawick Lau found his own acting path.

Later, from 2013 to 2016, perhaps because of his relationship with Yang Mi, or perhaps because of Hawick Lau's accumulation in TV series, his career began to flourish.

Basically four or five dramas a year are guaranteed, and the image is relatively fixed.

There are two types of good actors in the entertainment industry. One is capable of acting in anything, and the other has a specific acting style and only specializes in one or a few similar roles. Hawick Lau obviously belongs to the latter.

His roles are basically around domineering CEOs or wealthy businessmen, and the scope of the drama is not wide, but this happens to be an obvious symbol of him - whenever there is such a TV series, the first thing the producers think of is Hawick Lau.

Because of the similar temperament, this not only formed his screen image, but also formed his unique style. Especially for period dramas, the audience seems to have decided that Hawick Lau is the most suitable actor.

Whether it's "The Island of Blood" or "Ruyi", as well as the later popular "The Thief" and "Lemon", Hawick Lau plays this kind of role and it just doesn't make people bored.

Although the quality of the drama varies, it is undeniable that Hawick Lau has created his own unique acting method in this role field.

In addition, compared to most mainland artists, Hawick Lau is low-key and humble, restrained and modest, and never puts on a show. Instead, he cares a lot about the crew and has a strong sense of contract, which also greatly increases his screen affinity.

It has been a long time since the divorce, and Hawick Lau has also disappeared for a long time. Seeing him in "This Is Life" feels like reuniting old friends.

In addition, many media revealed that Hawick Lau is still working hard on drama. He was photographed rehearsing Cao Yu's famous "Thunderstorm" and his new work "Thunderstorm After".

On the one hand, it is to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Mr. Cao Yu’s birth. On the other hand, being able to lower his body and act in a drama shows that Hawick Lau has already begun to calm down and hone his acting skills and business, and become a real actor.

After all, in the entertainment industry, good work is always the golden sign.

At the age of 40, when he is close to knowing his destiny, Hawick Lau has already developed his own philosophy of life.

I hope this former big boy can grow into a new national uncle and bring us more and better works.
