Andy Lau's Social Media Presence Is A Hit

Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau has broken record by getting over 50 million followers on Douyin (China’s video-sharing social networking service）in less than a week’s time after opening the account.

Prior to this, Lau had never been active on social media. Not too sure what made him changed his mind recently to open his first Douyin account.

Within 24 hours after setting up the account, Andy Lau was followed by more than 24 million followers! With the rate he is going, he could become one of the most followed individuals on Douyin ever. 

Andy Lau had posted five videos since 27^th January 2021 and has received a total of 87 million likes.

Andy Lau is one of the old-school superstar who previously said he won’t spend time on online communications. “Only using text creates no warmth, I don’t know how to communicate with others by that means,” he was previously quoted as saying.

So what makes him changes his mind? Just like traditional retails chose to have online shopping platform to survive, it looks like the show business is not spared from the devastation caused by Covid-19. It is not hard to understand that it is now more than before that celebrity needs to have online presence in order to stay relevant and not forgotten by their fans.
