"Hot Blood Choir" scored only 4.6 points, and Andy Lau's new work was controversial

Directed by Guan Xinhui and starring Andy Lau, the film "Hot Blood Choir" was released on November 13. Because of Andy Lau's participation and the high reputation of the director's previous work "Lovely You", the film has high expectations in the hearts of fans. Perhaps the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The film's Douban score is only 4.6 points. It is Andy Lau's worst work in recent years after the cooperation with Wang Jing in "Ace Go King" and "The Man from Macau" series.

The film tells the story of Yan Zilang (played by Andy Lau), an iron-blooded conductor of an internationally renowned choir, who returns to Hong Kong to help his former mentor (played by Lowell Lo) and leads a group of useless students who are forced to participate in the "Hot-blooded Choir Experimental Program" because of getting into trouble, to learn choral singing from scratch. Everyone faces the setbacks and challenges of life together, and finally finds themselves in music, and the secrets of Yan Zilang are gradually revealed...

Many fans pointed out in their comments that the film is completely incomparable to the director's previous work "Lovely You", and that this work has no emotional foreshadowing in the plot, and all the content is constantly moving forward, which is hard to be convincing. Some fans of Andy Lau even said that if it weren't for Andy Lau's acting skills, this movie would be completely unwatchable.

It is reported that this film was produced by Andy Lau and is one of his works in his plan to support new directors. He will also have two more works to meet the audience, both of which he will join as a producer and starring actor. I wonder how he will perform in "Shock Wave 2" and "Raging Fire".
