Gong Li: Ugly victory

People don't need to live much, you do one thing seriously and explain everything.

Renowned director Chen Coxin,
When it comes to the movie "Winning the Title",
Mentioned a play by Gong Li.
The play is Gong Li's monologue:
The most important lines of the whole film,
The theme of the whole movie,
it's all in the play.
The play lasted four minutes,
The lines are full of three pages,
But Chen Cossing Wanwan did not expect:
Gong Li actually took one.
Chen, known for his harshness,
"I've never shot one."
But such a long, heavy play,
Gong Li actually passed one this time.
Chen Kaixin sighed:
"At that moment I was thinking,
There are two kinds of directors in this world,
I've photographed Gong Li and I haven't shot Gong Li.
I am lucky to belong to the former. "

After "Winning" was released,
For Lang Ping, played by Gong Li,
The audience's clear assessment said:
"Not only do you speak and walk like God,
Even the movements and expressions are god-like,
It's Lang Ping Benping! "
How did Gong Li do it?
In the months before the shooting,
Gong Li ran to the training ground again and again,
To stay there is for most of the day,
Do?
Observe Lang Ping's words, movements, and look,
And with a small book record summed up.
In order to give off the same breath as an athlete,
She lives "mixed" with the girls in the women's platoon,
Report together, eat together, get off work together.
In order for each action to appear standard,
She played a volleyball in her room.
Practice each location every day:
Main attack, sideline attack, second pass, free man.
…………
Why can Gong Li restore Lang Ping?
It's because she's stupid enough.

Gong Li's acting is always so clumsy.
Just for example,
When I was making The Memoirs of a Geisha,
There's an action of throwing a fan with both hands,
It may seem simple, but it's really hard,
The director said to Gong Li:
"It's a very professional technique,
The average person can't do it,
So we don't want you to do it between. "
As a supporting actor,
Gong Li has no need to practice this technique at all,
Just find a stand-in to do it by the way.
But Gong Li said something to the director:
"I can do it, I can practice."
For the next five months,
Gong Li practices two thousand every day,
At the end of the play,
She completed the fan-throwing action perfectly.
With this role,
She won Best Supporting Actress from the National Association of Film Critics.

Gong Li's talent is not very good,
It's even very general.
In the 1980s,
She enrolled in art school for three years in a row.
It's dropped every time.
In the fourth examination,
Still 11 points worse,
If it hadn't been for a teacher's compassion,
Gong Li can't get into the middle play at all.
Gong Li, who got off to such a bad start,
Why did you become emperor?
It's her clumsiness.
She always doesn't know how to please when she's acting,
Always awkwardly observing life,
It's always awkward to experience life,
It's always awkward to figure out the details,
It's always awkward to refine details.
But it was this clumsiness that finally made Gong Li.
Time and time again clumsy quantity accumulation,
It turned out to be a huge qualitative change,
Her acting skills finally came to life.
I especially like Gong Li's words:
"It's not long, it's long."
What is the fastest shortcut?
It's not clever, it's clumsy.

Tencent records this:
One day, a programmer,
I made a PPT in the middle of the night,
Then send a message to Ma Huateng.
I didn't think that after 20 minutes,
Ma Huateng sent back the suggestion of modification.
What surprised the programmer the most was that
There is a two-word gap on the PPT,
It's not the same as the other words,
But it's hard for the naked eye to tell,
I didn't expect to be found by Ma Huateng.
"Ma Huateng goes diving in various forums every day,
Not only that,
He also searches blogs, RSS subscriptions,
Because high-end users are disdainful of going to forums to ask questions,
He took the initiative to come out, to find, to search,
Then take the initiative to contact with the user, solve..."
So many businesses do instant messaging,
Why is tencent the only one that stands out?
It's precisely because Ma Huateng is stupid.
He just clumsily made one detail after another,
Just clumsily doing a little thing,
I didn't expect Tencent to succeed.
Everyone thinks Jobs is gifted.
Not really.
Go through the whole book of Jobs' Biography,
You'll find him crying 157 times,
Cry once on average three pages,
fell to the ground 25 times,
crying and screaming 34 times,
Tears flowed 42 times.
Jobs wasn't as smart as you think.
He may not have as much brain power as you,
His start-up wasn't all plain sailing.
It's a lot of dark times.
But why did he end up with great success?
was on his stupidity.
He always set a goal after
began to die awkwardly,
Every detail of death,
Every experience of death,
Dead every design,
Such a dead ends up with the ultimate product.
Why do I talk about Gong Li, Ma Huateng, Jobs?
I'm actually trying to say:
Success is only a result and a appearance,
There must be stupid kung fu behind it.
A true master,
They're all working the ground.

And those of us who are so-called smart people,
Why do you live so ordinary?
It's because we like to do two things,
First: Like to find shortcuts.
Of the top 50 bestsellers in major book cities,
Almost half of them are express methods.
Click on the knowledge payment platform on your phone,
At the top of the list is always this:
20 Days to Be an Accountant,
Financial Freedom in One Year,
…………
Look around our lives,
Ads like this are also plastered everywhere:
Write a good word in 30 days,
"Lose 30 pounds a month, don't bounce back,"
…………
Everyone is busy looking for a shortcut to success,
Want to become famous fast, get promoted quickly, get rich quickly,
But few choose to be a clumsy long-termist.
But the world is so strange:
Those who want to take shortcuts end up taking detours.
Those who want to speculate end up falling into a trap.
And the people who end up in Dacheng are long-termists.

Gong Li played Lang Ping with a back
The second thing: like to wait for big opportunities.
Take the actor industry,
A lot of actors are always dismissive of small productions,
Always disdain small characters,
I'm looking for a big director as soon as I get there,
As soon as I came, I wanted to make a big production,
As soon as I came, I wanted to play the leading role,
Can big production in fact not a few a year,
So in a very limited production,
The chances of a new person being lucky enough to star are slim.
The chances of being able to play the lead role are even smaller.
A lot of actors just wait for the "big luck" to come,
As a result, day by day, I abandoned myself.
And at the end of the day, they like to say:
"She's just lucky,
Met Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou,
If I had her good luck..."
Writer Wang Yan had an observation:
"If you have access to senior officials, good entrepreneurs, and executives from big companies,
will find that they are dealing with big problems,
Always start with a little thing,
With specific details as the entry point,
To round up the big problems to zero,
Bit by bit, it's eaten away.
Before you really take the medicine and make a big deal out of it,
Will certainly be fine and silent preparation work.
The so-called major initiatives,
It's just a foot in the door when everything is ready.
What about those who don't have the verses, the opposite,
They never disdain doing small things,
Always say plausible things,
Always waiting for a big opportunity to fly into the sky.
As a result, one day the big opportunity really comes,
They found themselves unable to catch it at all. "
A lot of people do,
It's because you don't look at the little things,
That's why I lost the big thing.

Written so much,
What the hell am I trying to say?
I'm actually trying to say:
If one wants to succeed,
Two things must be done well.
The first thing: do the humble little things.
I saw an interview with Ping the other day,
In the interview, she praised Gong Li:
Gong Li's movies are basically classics.
Why are they all classics?
Because every time Gong Li receives a role,
will take a long time to experience life.
When he appeared in Autumn Juju's Lawsuit,
In order to speak the Shaanxi dialect,
She went to the Shaanxi countryside for nearly half a year.
The last Shaanxi words,
The local villagers were fooled.
The reason gong li can become gong emperor,
It's about doing such a small thing.
Zhou Guoping has a good saying:
"People who make great things,
often do small things also seriously,
And people who don't take small things seriously,
Often it's not a big deal.
We always feel that small things don't matter,
In fact, life has no big or small things,
To look at the length of time,
Big and small things actually have the same value. "
When you don't know what to do,
Do every little thing in your hand;
When you don't know how to start,
Just do the little things closest to you.

The second thing: living and working awkwardly.
Yang Lan asked, "Have you ever doubted your career?" "
Gong Li replied: "No." "
Gong Li has decided to be an actor in his life:
"But where I have identified one thing,
I'll focus on trying to be perfect. "
Gong Li is different from many actors,
She's never lost.
She has a precipitated power,
Never disturbed by a lot of things,
Just stick to your heart:
"People don't need to live much.
You're serious about one thing.
will explain everything.
I think most of the energy in a person's life,
Should be on only one thing.
To the extreme of this thing,
It's better than you doing ten thousand things mediocrely. "
Gong Li is a stupid man in acting,
She never flatters in acting, never plays with flowers,
Always start with the dumbest experience of life,
Always start with small things that people don't want to do.
After every shadow Gong Li had obtained,
It's not easy, it's beautiful,
It's clumsy, ugly.
Gong Li's way of doing things,
It reminds me of an article by the writer Wang Lu,
This article is called Ugly Victory.
I particularly like a passage in this article:
"Don't do something,
Or at least conditionally reserved,
Don't do one thing in some way,
This is particularly important.
It looks clumsy,
It's not easy to succeed.
But it's also a form of protection,
Protect you from a slow but solid journey further a step. "
The world is never short of intelligence,
But scarce and clumsy.
The world is never short of beauty,
But scarce and ugly.
The world is never short of clever failures,
But scarce "clumsy victory".
The world is never short of beautiful failures,
But scarcity is an "ugly victory".
