Andy Lau Unhappy At Olympic Disturbances

Andy commented that standing amid the forest of colour-changing lights was like stepping into a fantasy world. However, he added that the show provided a very basic display of visual arts, so there was still plenty of room for improvement.


Quite the back-handed compliment. I imagine the organizers of the exhibit and some of the artists are wondering why they put Andy on the guest list.
