Donnie Yen, born on July 27th, 1963, is an actor, director and martial arts instructor in China. The following is an inspirational story of a gentle and tough guy in Donnie Yen that I compiled for you, for your reference, hoping to help friends in need.
The day before the interview, I chatted with Donnie Yen's agent on MSN. She told an interesting story: "Last night, when we were shopping with him in Times Square, a man came up to Donnie Yen and said, Sir, I think you look like Donnie Yen ... At that time, a group of us all laughed and said nothing. Donnie Yen fought back a smile and said, Really? A lot of people say that. And coincidentally, my name is Zhen ... "
This joke makes people laugh and guess that Donnie Yen should be a humorous person and not too serious.
Using Google to search his previous interview materials, I found that when he was a guest in an online chat room, some fans asked him to demonstrate a martial arts action on the spot. He flatly refused: "no, if I promise every fan's request, I will be exhausted." This episode makes people feel that Donnie Yen is a person with great personality and a little stubbornness.
After reading the reports about him, I found that the media publicized his chivalrous tenderness for his wife and his love for his daughter, which made people feel that he was a man who knew how to be romantic and loved his wife and children.
Humor? Stubborn? Still romantic? At the moment I met Donnie Yen, all my doubts were exposed.
Height1.70m. Thin, but muscular. Bright eyes, unsmiling when speaking, with a little professionalism in seriousness. This is the first impression he gave when he walked into the coffee shop.
Next, Donnie Yen quickly showed his tough personality. According to his own definition, he is indeed a "perfectionist". When shooting, he made a research comment on the clothes. In order to shoot better results, he specially sent his assistant to take a taxi back to the hotel and took his own private service. He put forward his own unique views on the lighting and modeling of the shooting; During the visit, when talking about career issues, his eyes will be particularly charming. All this, in his words, is-"I am not a perfect person, but I try my best to pursue the perfect result." This unique Zhen style is really impressive.
A few days before the interview, Donnie Yen flew back from London, and the eight-hour time difference hasn't been adjusted, which made him stay up all night and look tired. This day is also slightly one hour later than the appointed time. In the dialogue, Donnie Yen presents a vivid image of a tough guy on the screen, with no cadence in tone and little change in expression. You can't even say what he is "cold", but he will look you straight in the eye. This should be a profession forged for many years.
Soviet Union 10 day lifetime reservation
Sitting in the cool corner of the coffee shop, Donnie Yen relaxed all over. Maybe he has been catching various announcements for many days. Doing nothing at the moment may be valuable. Since the media talked about his love, our topic will start from now on.
Donnie Yen frankly admitted that he was married, divorced and experienced a failed marriage. He hoped that he could have an ordinary and simple love, but God gave him two loves.
Getting rid of the shackles of his first marriage, he didn't expect to set foot on the red carpet again. "Divorce makes me feel very tired. I sometimes ask myself if I want to go alone in the next road. However, when fate comes, it is really hard for you to sayno. "
The love history between Donnie Yen and his current wife is a "quick love" that frequently appears in fashion magazines. He met her when he was in quiet inside, like a cool breeze wrinkling a pool of spring water. After only 10 days of acquaintance, they quickly got engaged.
His wife was modeling in Hong Kong, and an encounter in Los Angeles made two parallel lines intersect. At the moment of meeting, Donnie Yen's strongest reaction was that the girl was connected with her heart. She is young and mature, with a unique taste in life and something that attracts him very much. Both of them will put forward the same strange ideas dramatically.
"I also know a lot of beautiful women, but only she can make me tempted. Our topics and interests are like walking on the same track. Therefore, we quickly determined that the other party is our other half. " It seems that this is the legendary love at first sight, two of a kind.
This marriage, which combined too many coincidences, made Donnie Yen cherish it very much. In the world of two people, he fully shows a completely different image from the tough guy on the screen. He has his own chivalrous tenderness, which he will never forget in every important festival, because it is the best time for a man to express his love to his wife. No matter where he is in the world, he will convey his love. If he can't give himself to his wife, he should at least have gifts and flowers. Besides, he will spend a lot of time thinking about what gift to give. He hopes to give his wife a different surprise every time, and life needs innovation.
The year his wife married him, she was the most elegant 22-year-old woman. After marriage, she soon gave birth to a daughter for him. Donnie Yen always thought that it was lucky to marry a wife. The beauty pageant champion has a rare peace of mind, has no nostalgia for the entertainment circle, and is willing to be with the man he loves, be a good wife and mother, and live a quiet behind-the-scenes life.
"This is my blessing. I have been grateful to her all my life. " If one day your wife is old, will you fall in love with other beautiful women? Faced with this problem, Donnie Yen took a deep breath, obviously moved his body, put on a side face of three or seven points, as if making a short speech: "Anyone will get old, and it is impossible to stop. If you stay together for the rest of your life, you will accumulate deep feelings. When you are both old, you will never pursue purely superficial things again. It's too empty. " He defended himself seriously, as if thousands of miles away, wanting his wife to hear this eternal oath.
A family enjoys a comfortable life.
Leaving the dazzling screen, privately, Donnie Yen immersed himself in a casual and low-key life, paying attention to mood and quality, tasting delicious food and drinking a small glass of red wine with his family, which was a pleasant life in his eyes.
After marrying his wife, his daughter soon became a "third party", injecting fresh air into the whole family. Home is no longer the meaning of brick houses, but becomes warm and sweet. "She is my greatest happiness. When I think of her when I am unhappy, I feel very warm. " Donnie Yen stuck himself in the camel velvet sofa, holding coffee specially bought from Starbucks, gently turning his body, holding his head in his hands, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and his face was still hale and hearty. Perhaps in front of outsiders, his true face is serious and unsmiling, and tenderness is a "privatized property" that belongs exclusively to his family. This should be his own judgment.
Words: "I am a single-minded person who treats love, and my family has an inviolable position in my heart."
Such a man whose wife is supreme will naturally try his best to build a happy family. When he left the public eye, he left all his time to his wife. The whole family excitedly drove to all kinds of new restaurants for dinner. If they are in Hong Kong, the wife will often visit the studio, enthusiastically discuss with him where to eat delicious food at night, and even plan the activities for the next day on the spot.
"When both parties enjoy the happiness of life, you will find that the family relationship is very close." Donnie Yen doesn't have rich expressions when he speaks, but his eyes are very focused. When he tells, he will use the simplest and clearest words, without redundant modifiers, just like his neat kung fu; Just make it clear.
Daughter, the source of all happiness
The daughter asked Donnie Yen to cherish the life of ordinary people: "I am not keen on communication. When I don't need to work, I play with my daughter. This is the greatest relaxation. My daughter is over one year old and occupies an absolute' leadership' position at home. With children, you will find that she participates in all your joys and sorrows. Where she appears, your eyes will follow her, and you will feel very needed. It is this state that makes me enjoy being a father. "
While speaking, Donnie Yen is sitting in front of the bright French window, holding a puppy of the coffee shop owner. In Guangzhou in July, the hot sunshine was quietly projected through the mottled branches and leaves on the roadside. He held the clever puppy in his arms, for fear that it would break away from his arms, and kept stroking the puppy's chin with his fingers, his eyes focused and delicate. This scene is easy to remind people of him being happy at home.
However, as an artist, Donnie Yen is too busy with her work and has been shuttling between the eastern and western hemispheres for a long time, so it is difficult to share every joy of her daughter's growth. It is said that her daughter once suspected that her father was not her own.
On the one hand, I love my job; on the other hand, I love my family. Standing at the midpoint, I can adjust the scale at any time. This is a true portrayal of the artist's life.
"I think in a family, the best way to communicate feelings is your own children. Many times, there will be many differences between husband and wife, but after you see the children, all the disputes will soften. You will feel that nothing is important. You live together so that your daughter can have a better life in the future. " This sentence pours all the love a father has for his daughter.
When it comes to his daughter, he has endless topics. "My daughter is very natural and graceful in front of people and won't get stage fright. When she sees someone she likes, she will raise her little hand, greet people and blow kisses, just like a natural actress, which surprises us. " His daughter is taller than others. She is only over one year old, and she will wear the clothes of a two-year-old child.
Sprint Hollywood
When he was in Hollywood, Donnie Yen felt that the film industry was not only a job, but also something he was proud of. When he was an action director for western blockbusters, he found that many westerners practiced kung fu, which was as popular as fitness activities and was a fashion trend. As the birthplace of Kung Fu, in China, no one practiced Kung Fu, thinking it was played by people from Shaolin Temple. This is the difference between Chinese and western cultures on Kung Fu.
"In recent years, China's action movies have obviously influenced foreign movies, and Hollywood's action movies have the shadow of China's action movies. I hope to make more oriental movies. " Donnie Yen should take his favorite kung fu movies very seriously.
When evaluating western films, he thinks that the biggest difference is that there are many funds and wide contacts. "In fact, there are many talented actors in China, but western actors are more professional than eastern actors." This is another gap between China and the West that he found during his trip to Hollywood.
When asked what Hollywood thought of him and what impressed him the most, Donnie Yen looked very confident. "At this stage, I don't need to care too much about other people's comments. It doesn't matter. I just hope that I can make more progress and do better. " In Donnie Yen's eyes, he is engaged in artistic creation and needs great confidence to innovate.
Someone asked Donnie Yen if he came to the mainland to film the real protagonist. This question may have embarrassed him before the Seven Swords, but with the momentum of this film sweeping China, Donnie Yen no longer needs to avoid it. "I don't live in Los Angeles, but I can also make world-class blockbusters. You don't have to leave your hometown to explore the market as you did a few years ago. Now I'm going to make a movie in Inner Mongolia and win an award in Hollywood. China movies have been moving forward because our status has improved. "
"My life is very healthy, I don't smoke, I drink red wine at most, and I spend 45 minutes practicing kung fu every day to maintain a good physique." This is what Donnie Yen said. He wants to keep his best and rush to Hollywood.
Kung Fu China's movies are the most precious.
Donnie Yen's mother runs a martial arts school, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child. These beautiful memories faded away in his mind. When he was a child, he never thought about continuing his mother's career and entering the entertainment logistics department. He found that making movies was the best way to inherit martial arts. It is much more meaningful to let more people appreciate the charm of Wushu than to open a museum to accept apprentices.
"I hope to play more roles that few people have played before. I like fashion and classics. I think action movies are the most precious of our China movies. Unfortunately, there have been no good successors in recent years. As a behind-the-scenes director and action director, I want to make more meaningful movies and bring good influence to society. "
Referring to Donnie Yen's 20-year career, he seriously corrected "22 years", during which he gained a lot. Recalling this road, he often said, "I really don't know what I would do if I didn't make a movie." The film has become a coordinate in his life, and the meaning of life is to do parabolic motion on this coordinate map.
Donnie Yen does not deny that martial arts directors are very attractive to him, and he has admitted this to the media countless times. He is obsessed with the fun and pleasure of being a director, just like building a building block. First of all, you have to draw the drawings, then build them brick by brick and watch "tall buildings rise from the ground" "Being an actor is just a personal play, just a role, and the director is a whole creation. Very fulfilling, full of infinite surprises and challenges. " Donnie Yen is obviously indifferent to the topic of "martial arts instruction". He paused and constantly adjusted his sitting posture.
have a conversation
Grace: Living in a colorful entertainment circle, will you be influenced by the fanaticism of famous brands?
Donnie Yen: I'm sure not. I think a man with taste must dress tastefully and make people feel pleasing to the eye. This is a realm. My wife is a model. She has a good eye and knows how to match all kinds of popular elements perfectly. She won't help me design what style clothes to wear, but often discusses with me at home what clothes to wear today and how to match them to wear the best effect. We all regard fashion as an attitude of loving life. Everyone has a research on clothes.
Everyone has seen the image of a tough guy on Donnie Yen's screen. Is your character tough or romantic in life?
Donnie Yen: I am a person who knows how to enjoy romance, but romance is not deliberately created, otherwise it will become a rigid model. Romance is a kind of intuition, which requires you to care for your lover at any time and place, and pay for her wholeheartedly. It is not necessary to send flowers or candlelight dinner, a sudden kiss, a warm greeting, and do a considerate thing when the other person is not paying attention. These are casual romances. I exaggerate too much beauty every day. If I forget to praise one day, she will look unhappy. This shows that lovers need sweet words very much, which helps to enhance their feelings and is also a good way to show romance at any time.
Grace: You said that if the wife is not beautiful, people will not get together because it is not attractive. Will you be tempted to face more beautiful women in the entertainment circle where beautiful women are flooding?
Donnie Yen: In modern society, all men like beautiful women. I'm not hiding this. The beauty of women will leave a deep impression on men, and this beautiful complex will also affect me. To appreciate a person, you must make eye contact before you can date, then get married and have children. In addition to appearance, you also need to get along with personality. There are many beautiful women in the entertainment circle, but if you choose one relationship, you can't choose another. A responsible man must be single-minded, and the road of feelings cannot be an endless combination. Debut for many years; Although I have had a failed marriage and two or three relationships, I have never had an affair, because I can be single-minded about every relationship.
Grace: Your wife can cook delicious food, but you can only cook Boston shrimp. Are you a big man at home?
Donnie Yen: I am a nobody at home. My wife is in charge of everything, and she is the main one. I am definitely not autocratic. I believe that a long-term marriage is inseparable from mutual respect. Men should know how to be humble to women. Watching her give birth to a child for you, silently supporting you behind your back, and paying so much for you, you will feel very touched. This kind of touch will make you willing to sacrifice a lot for her.
Grace: I found that many media compared you with Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Does this comparison make you unhappy? What position do you think you occupy in today's kung fu movies?
Donnie Yen: Compared with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, it is not a bad thing, which shows that I have the same level. Otherwise, how can I be compared on a horizontal line? Moreover, only comparison can make progress. Jackie Chan, Jet Li and I have different styles. They are not from the same faction, so it is difficult to compare them. Moreover, they occupy an irreplaceable position and their achievements in kung fu movies are obvious to all.
Today I have formed my own style, such as whether I am an actor or not. Both martial arts directors and action directors have obvious Donnie Yen style. I think my most successful is martial arts design. My potential is a martial arts actor, and this potential is not over, just like climbing a mountain. I'm still looking forward to the peak and keep moving forward. The next hill is the director, but this mountain road is still far away. I don't want to conquer it in a hurry. I need to catch my breath in the middle and recharge my batteries, so that I can do better when it breaks out.
