Cang Yang Jia CuO said: "How many secrets does a person need to hide in order to spend this life skillfully?"
The world is bustling, and you come and go, like floating foam rolling with the waves.
There are also some people who hide their secrets in their faces, plant their volunteers in their hearts, and cross the vast sky with the brightest stars.
For example, the international movie star John Lone.
He is a man full of secrets. There must be many unknowns and even secrets in his life experience. He is a man born with a story.
Chen Chong, who worked with John Lone, commented on him.
John Lone was abandoned at birth. Like 1900 in the legend of 1900, who are the parents? Where is home? Why was it abandoned? What kind of blood is this?
These mysteries, which he didn't even know, became the eternal background of life.
When he was a child, he was adopted by a disabled lady from Shanghai. She is not out of pity, but in order to get government funding.
The foster mother is very strict with him, and it is common to beat and scold him, so there is no fresh and hot food for him. Dependence on others is always bitter. Life is like drinking water, and you know it.
On one occasion, probably due to the difficulty of survival, the foster mother took John Lone to the station, ready to turn around and leave alone.
The child just stood in the traffic, separated from the road, and they looked at each other ... after all, they couldn't bear to take him home again in case he was displaced.
There is no TV set at home because of poverty. There is a teahouse next door, and there is a TV set in the corner near the ceiling. It's small, black and white.
John Lone often ran over and stood there with his head held high. Those movies about myths and the flying gods in the movies deeply attracted him, which was also a rare spiritual comfort in those years.
Until he was ten years old, his adoptive mother looked at him coldly and thought he was ok, so she decided to send him to study drama.
Although there is no salary, at least I can support myself, learn something, and maybe I can be an actor in the future.
At that time, his name was Wu Guoliang.
A few years later, recalling this passage, he was grateful to his adoptive mother.
She could have sent him to repair shoes or do other jobs to make a living.
In that case, there would be no later John Lone.
His adoptive mother made a choice for him, and he had no chance to ask questions, so he had to face the next stage of his life.
At the age of ten, John Lone was sent to the Spring and Autumn Theatre Academy to study Peking Opera, dance and martial arts.
This drama academy was founded by Ju-hua Fen, the head of the famous Peking Opera Troupe. Many movie actors worship her as a teacher and learn martial arts from her. Ching-Ying Lam, Luo Jiaying and Xiao Fangfang were all his disciples.
After watching Farewell My Concubine, you will know how many days and nights children have to endure and what kind of biting training they have to receive if they want to become actors.
John Lone's training in reality is more severe than on the screen.
Get up at seven o'clock every day, stand upside down against the wall and start practicing basic skills.
John Lone and other children are like puppies.
In such a large training room, there are sweat stains where there are people, and the surroundings are always wet.
In addition to the figure, there are also aspects such as voice, dance and equipment, and the training is rotated throughout the day until ten o'clock in the evening.
Every flower needs to go through 1000 cold times to bloom.
In the troupe, John Lone was handsome and inarticulate, and was often bullied by other disciples.
I was bullied again, broke my face in a fight, and had no money to go to the hospital, so I went to the tailor to sew a few stitches, and the scar remained on my forehead forever.
I felt hard at that time. In retrospect, he was very grateful for the training of drama classes, which made him practice perseverance and hard work. Later, he played those roles that survived in the ice and snow, the knife and the mountains and the sea of people.
At the beginning, his adoptive mother sent him to study drama, probably to get rid of a drag bottle. He is too young to plan for the future, so he can only move forward, whether it is a wolf or a tiger, whether it is a rise or a fall, depending on fate.
Learning skills, like reading books on weekdays, may not come in handy immediately, but I believe that sooner or later, it will inadvertently fill the gap in knowledge.
Book lovers hate less and their skills are not overwhelming.
The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.
There is no road in life in vain, and every step counts.
It really will.
Although Hong Kong is prosperous, there is no shortage of opportunities. Perhaps because of his life experience, John Lone could not find a sense of belonging in this landscape. The people there are in a hurry and greedy, which makes him feel very anxious and unnatural.
At the age of eighteen, John Lone was lucky to get the support of an American couple. He gave up the olive branch thrown by Xiao and resolutely went to the other side of the ocean.
In order to solve the language problem, he worked part-time, washed dishes, worked as a chef, worked in Disneyland and sold chilled mint wine. A few years later, John Lone was admitted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts through her own efforts.
Later, I met the famous agent Jadin Wong and started my acting career.
In the past ten years, he started as a walk-on, played a chef in China with only a few lines, played a primitive man without dialogue, played a new gang leader in Chinatown, and sometimes wrote, directed and acted in some stage plays.
At that time, his English name was John Lone, and he translated it into John Lone, a China man who respected dragons.
At that time, I also won some awards and got some attention, but it seems to have been tepid and not famous enough.
Until 1987, John Lone ushered in the most wonderful moment of his life.
Italian director bernardo bertolucci came to China to shoot The Last Emperor. I want to find a good-looking actor who can speak English, is aloof and noble, and plays Puyi.
John Lone was chosen.
This epic swept nine awards, including the Best Film Award, at the 60th Academy Awards.
In the play, Puyi, the puppet of the political power, Wanrong and Guifei were tattooed in the twilight, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and enjoying themselves in time when they were dying.
Outside the program, John Lone, 35, whose lifeline is low to the highest point, and her face value also reached the peak, made her famous internationally.
During this period, John Lone was the most dazzling star in the international film industry.
Just like a sentence in the Book of Changes: "In the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the flying dragon is in the sky, which is beneficial to meet adults."
People born in heaven are never extravagant or stingy.
If I give you this, I'll take something else. I'll close the door and open the window for you.
John Lone has no background, no family background, no parents' companionship and upbringing, and no glistening cake at the annual birthday party, but he has beautiful skin, an innate talent for interpretation, and a noble temperament that is inconsistent with his life experience.
High nose and deep eyes, well proportioned, melancholy eyes and aloof charm can turn all beings upside down and kill Hollywood with a prosperous appearance. Later, I wanted to return to China for development.
Mr Jin Yong once said, "No one has ever seen how handsome Pan An is. I think he should look like John Lone to be worthy of the name. "
1993, Chen Kaige started filming Farewell My Concubine, and Cheng Dieyi's original candidate was John Lone.
Perhaps his life experience is similar, or perhaps his simple love of drama, he was very interested in this role, so he turned down the French film "Lover", which later became a classic.
However, contrary to expectations, because of such practical reasons, as a result, he missed Cheng Dieyi.
In the same year, John Lone filmed Butterfly Jun, playing Song Liling, a Peking Opera actor.
He disguised as a man, male and female are difficult to distinguish, and his eyes are flowing, showing his charm.
With his Beijing opera skills when he was young, he also performed a Peking Opera "Drunken Guifei" in the play, which was slightly drunk and charming, no less than Leslie Cheung's version of Cheng Dieyi.
Later, John Lone refused many interviews, royal invitations, and the later film Memoirs of a Geisha in order to shoot the TV series Kangxi Incognito 5 in the Mainland.
However, John Lone's film and television works received a mediocre response in China, and even many people have never heard of them.
In the eyes of others, these decisions may not be worth the loss.
John Lone himself probably doesn't care much, because his understanding of life has gone beyond the realm of utility.
On one occasion, in the conversation after the performance, John Lone told some lessons to the children of the Theatre Academy. This is his understanding of his career:
Life is a process of choice, gain and loss. In the east corner of Sang Yu, it depends on one's efforts and one's life.
Life is like a chess game. Listen to your inner voice, and you can do something you don't regret.
In 2007, John Lone co-starred with Jet Li and Jason Statham in the action thriller Ranger.
Since then, it has faded out of the film industry, leaving only true and false legends in the rivers and lakes.
After reading John Lone's interview, I can't help but find that he is really a man with profound knowledge, talent and appearance, connotation and no shortage of ideas.
He loves his job, and it makes him happy.
He is interested in Buddhism, which preaches compassion and reverence for all things, making him feel comfortable physically and mentally.
He is also interested in biology and all new knowledge.
Knowing the truth can make things lose their mystery, but it can eliminate the fear of ignorance.
He likes filming, but he just wants to play a role that can inspire morale.
He looks forward to action movies, but hates superficial fighting.
He refused to repeat and was superficial.
Perhaps because of these persistence and principles, there are not many roles suitable for John Lone, and he is not the kind of actor who wants everything.
Besides filming, he also wants to make music, make an album, hold a concert, or do business and sell men's hair wax.
In the field of self-reliance, strive to make him self-reliant; People share beautiful things and beautiful things.
Wind, rain, cloak and rain, head glory, have entered John Lone, knowing life, I feel more and more learning to let go.
Life is long and regrets are inevitable.
In the world of flowers and flowers, those fleeting trifles are not what he wants.
"I want to live in the satisfaction of realizing value and the ability to comfort others." This is John Lone's outlook on life.
In the first half of his life, he had a short marriage and never set foot in a besieged city for the rest of his life.
Loneliness has become a mystery.
Everyone has a root-seeking complex buried in his heart.
A real hometown is a place where you can have peace of mind and body.
I watched a Japanese movie "Bereavement" before, in which the hero and heroine fell into the pain of losing their loved ones and couldn't get out for a long time.
Until one day, they crossed the forest together, got lost in it, clung to each other in the wind and rain, and finally got redemption.
In one clip, they met a thousand-year-old tree, and the man stepped forward, stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, like a long-lost relative.
The heroine looked up at the high canopy and burst into tears.
Before I saw John Lone's later life, I always thought it was a sensational art.
When the glitz faded, he withdrew from the world of mortals. It is said that he lived in seclusion in a forest all the year round and kept a dog. Nature makes him feel kind.
There, it is also lonely, full, quiet and free.
There, John Lone met a 2000-year-old tree. Seeing them standing there for the first time, he was deeply shocked and moved to tears.
Because of this, he recognized these two ancient trees as grandparents.
This "the most beautiful man in Asia" is an orphan in human relations, the darling of fate, and finally became a legend and natural darling in the film industry.
He said: "I never remember hard things because life is good for me."
