Can ordinary people use Michelle Yeoh to inspire?

When Instantaneous Universe was launched last year, our lives were still in a state of unknown, not knowing when we would be able to resume our past lives, and when our next trip would come true. At that time, the vast majority of us used online disks to watch this sensational movie. The "mother's multiverse" thus adds a metaphor.

It seems that it was in that mood that Michelle Yeoh's resume and life were carefully watched for the first time. She is our childhood memory, and she has often come to the mainland for publicity over the years, and it is easy for media colleagues to turn out photos with her; But she is also the person who went to play "007" in 1997 and broke through to become a martial arts bang girl, and she is also the first Chinese bond girl.

I rarely thought about it before, in fact, she has always been an international person and a world person.

Michelle Yeoh was born in Malaysia to a very good family, and went to the United Kingdom to study ballet at the age of 15 with quite good grades (Bachelor of Drama and Dance from the Royal Academy of Dance), but was suspended by an accidental injury. With her talent and hard work, maybe she is a ballet dancer in another universe.

Michelle Yeoh originally won Miss Malaysia in the beauty pageant, represented Malaysia to select Miss World, started the industry from the beauty pageant, and went to Hong Kong to develop during the glory period of Hong Kong films.

Her family life identifies as Chinese, her nationality is Malaysian, and her film career started in Hong Kong, but in general she is mobile and adaptable.

There is her in Hong Kong film memories, and she in "007". "The Imperial Dynasty of the Song Family" is a female historical theme in which actors from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have participated in the shooting, she is Song Ailing. Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she is a woman, when we were children, we watched the screen and forgot that she was Malaysian. When Michelle Yeoh, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi all go to act in "Memoirs of a Geisha", these three people will easily be regarded as the same kind by us.

When our "internal entertainment" was very lively, Michelle Yeoh was also there. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sequel "Blue Nether Sword" has her, "Ip Man Gaiden: Zhang Tianzhi" she is here, even stuck to limit Han Ling's "Fancy Chef God" (also known as "Fancy Chef God") released in 2016 has her, yes, Michelle Yeoh and Liu Xianhua have co-acted in movies, or Liu Xianhua.

In short, in those lively but uneven quality movies, at some moments, the audience's vague impression seems to gradually overlap with "memories kill Hong Kong stars", publicity is to use the predecessors as a gimmick, but emotional killing is not enough to endure those four, five or six movies.

Although Michelle Yeoh never stopped developing in Hollywood at the same time, this part is sometimes overlooked by us back then, and feel the structure of her work.

In recent years, from "Crazy Rich Asians" to "Shang Qi" to "Instantaneous Universe", Michelle Yeoh has appeared as an Asian face. This year, she swept through awards, repeatedly emphasizing that she is Asian and opposing stereotypes of Asian Americans.

When talking about her career, Michelle Yeoh will say that she works hard and sees her peers "somewhat regretful" - at this time, she said that the so-called peers are obviously other peers in Hollywood, not the Chinese-speaking film industry.

Spending so much space looking back on her past is to emphasize that Michelle Yeoh has had the conditions of an international family and received an international education since she was a child. Her language skills are enough for her to switch back and forth between Cantonese films, Mandarin movies, and English movies. Wherever job opportunities are good and roles are better, she will focus on them. Of course, every path is not easy. It is impossible to be a beater, filming a literary drama, in Hong Kong, or in the United States.

In general, Michelle Yeoh's congenital conditions are very good, beautiful, talented, and rich at home.

In particular, she is very envious of her family conditions, "living in the world" is not a difficult problem for Michelle Yeoh, she is very young, she is an "international Chinese".

And for us ordinary people, getting our own passports can be a major leap in life.

But why can't you use her as inspiration?

First, "internationalization" does not depend solely on family conditions.

Now everyone sees that being an international person like Michelle Yeoh will have broader possibilities. If we aspire to that kind of freedom, we can still work hard to get enough. Tang Weiye learned the language during the pause in his career, and after filming "Da Ming Fenghua", he turned to South Korea to shoot "The Determination to Break Up". Arthur Liu actively went to Hong Kong to make movies and won the Academy Awards.

It is important to stay connected to the world, no matter where we live, to have a positive heart to connect with the world. Of course I love Chinese, but I need information from the world, and I crave the aesthetics and opinions of the world. This is how I really feel after going through it over the past few years.

Although Michelle Yeoh was born with a good hand, her "struggle" and "strength" are obvious.

She first came to Hong Kong to make a movie, just to play a saved vase, and when she saw that the actors were all doing martial arts moves, she volunteered to join, which she thought was similar to a set of choreographic moves.

Of course, she has the physical foundation to do these movements, but her dance career was stopped precisely because of the "spinal rotation injury", and the dangers of martial arts are obvious, but she just wants to do this, standing among those martial arts male stars to fight together - don't forget, she is a rich girl who was sent to England to learn dance at the age of 15.

"Persistence" is also a very important thing.

Michelle Yeoh said that "seeing her peers, it is somewhat regrettable", in fact, it is not Versailles, she has indeed waited too long to have a suitable heroine for herself, and then she has the attention of the industry.

Although the report card is very beautiful very early, many people may forget that Michelle Yeoh has played a string of supporting roles, some of which can be said to be supporting roles that have little to play. Even in movies that emphasize Asian elements, she is not the protagonist.

(△ In fact, when I watched "Shang Qi", I had already begun to think, I want to watch Michelle Yeoh play a superhero)

Always insisting on the next role, Michelle Yeoh waited at the age of 60 to find the most suitable role for her. She can perform the kind of "mommy face" we are all familiar with, but she also has so many possibilities, and this setting is none other than her.

Although we all know that Michelle Yeoh's family conditions are very good, I think her "empathy" and "cognition" are also very rare.

It is this understanding that constitutes the moving background of "Instantaneous Universe". Although I don't like the end of returning to a dull life, a beautiful family reunion, don't get angry with each other, but the ordinary mom that Michelle Yeoh performs, and makes ordinary moms become superheroes in multiple universes, is touching enough.

Michelle Yeoh's own observations of life, creative ideas, and empathy for all women are the basis of all this.

A widely circulated saying is that "Instantaneous Universe" was originally created with Jackie Chan as the male protagonist, but Jackie Chan was too busy to pick up and replaced it with Michelle Yeoh. On the other hand, Michelle Yeoh also said that she believes that the creator's perception has also changed the original story: "The two Daniels (directors Kwan Ka-yong and Daniel Schnater) said, 'This kind of story has been written by many people before, we should do something different,' they have very strong women, mothers or partners in their lives, so they are inspired, and they don't resist strong women at all." ”

Subjective reasons or objective reasons, the male protagonist is directly changed to the female protagonist to make "Instantaneous Universe" directly soar to another dimension. To put it mildly, it is also difficult to imagine that Jackie Chan plays a movie where his daughter is Lala, and the daughter he does not want to recognize is Lala.

This opportunity may have been prepared by God for Michelle Yeoh, and Michelle Yeoh's cognition also saved the idea of the "multiverse".

You know, after Michelle Yeoh acted in "Instantaneous Universe", her mother was worried that her daughter looked too old in the movie and did not look like a female star. Maybe this is a joke by the mother, or it may be that the daughter is still a little girl in the eyes of the mother. But no matter what, the mantra "women should be beautiful and young" lingers in every woman's ears, and the actress will only hear more.

In addition, Michelle Yeoh herself has a privileged family and has nothing to do with "bleakness", but she notices those more ordinary women. I first have "cognition" before I can deduce the "mother's multiverse".

I also think about her "strongness" when I exercise every day. Michelle Yeoh learned dance since she was a child, and then became the most famous martial arts actress, and she still maintains the habit of exercising to this day. Running, stretching, squats, boxing.

Day after day of practice and staying in shape made her perfect to this day, and although we don't have to be as good as her, it's very important to stay healthy and strong along the way.

Michelle Yeoh's "female friendship" is also worth referencing, and she has been sparkling with Cate Blanchett recently.

Does this sell CP? If it's selling, then I support it, I don't want to see ugly men selling CP, and my sister selling CP are happy.

It doesn't matter if it's for a show or a reality, because female friendship can be like this, that is, you can directly express your appreciation and talk more to your female friends. Admire and make friends with women, like Michelle Yeoh.

Then we have to talk about writing a point, Michelle Yeoh's "directness".

Just before this Oscar presentation, Michelle Yeoh forwarded the VOUGE article to cause controversy. Because the Oscars stipulate that nominees cannot mention competitors until the results are in. But in fact, Michelle Yeoh forwarded only a screenshot of the title, "There have been no non-white film queens in 20 years." She didn't cut off the part of the article that compared to Cate Blanchett.

Public opinion mocked her a little for a while. The main ridicule is not in the rules, but in mocking her plastic friendship with the Great Devil, and mocking her for whether she is too eager to turn this.

But so what. Not to mention that Michelle Yeoh is actually more for ethnic and cultural diversity ("It's not just for me, but for the little boys and girls who look the same as me"), even if she roars to win the award, who doesn't want to, why can't you say it?

It's not just a desire and desire, it's even Michelle Yeoh's long-trapped career ceiling, and she has said in conversations with other actresses: "I envy all of you, you always have the opportunity to try different roles, but for us [Asian actresses], it may take a long time to have such an opportunity." "My role is from mother to aunt."

This year, "Instantaneous Universe" won awards one after another, and Michelle Yeoh left various "" famous scenes several times, each of which is "women should not do" in the traditional oriental discipline.

"Women should not swear words."

"Women shouldn't joke with a strong tone."

"Women should not show what they have."

See, Michelle Yeoh told you that you can do all this. What you want, point directly.

It is also necessary to learn her attitude of "facing aging".

Her golden phrase has been widely circulated today.

(△via@a natives)

Michelle Yeoh is using her voice to rewrite the rules.

Look, this is her face, this is her face with clear nasolabial folds that belong to the 60-year-old. But can you believe it, this is also a soft wide "Michelle Yeoh Prepares the Red Carpet" that skin care products shot for her today.

In the past, we all thought that skin care products would only find those female stars who "have a childlike appearance". But now Michelle Yeoh's 60-year-old face can also be advertised for skin care products. Businesses continue to sell white thin and young dreams while shouting slogans while consuming, which is a problem that many women are entangled in. However, now brands must compete for Michelle Yeoh, and Michelle Yeoh has a real "60-year-old golden age" face.

I know that many women have this feeling: they understand the truth, but they are still afraid that they are not young and beautiful enough. Now we see that the value of age is being redefined, and the standard of beauty is being rewritten as the female narrative evolves.

In the end, I couldn't help but step on it again, and I always saw Jackie Chan's self-righteous performance during archaeology. For example, this sentence: "Michelle Yeoh is a beauty, if she has anything in case (martial arts stunt injury) I have to take responsibility and marry her." ”

And Jackie Chan's greetings to Michelle Yeoh are not too much.

So Michelle Yeoh complained about him very early, and he was really not wrong at all!

(via@ regular fan Sidney)

Jackie Chan, don't mention the four words "find me first" when you send a text message to Michelle Yeoh in the future!

Today is Michelle Yeoh's big victory.

Seeing that Michelle Yeoh is strong, insightful, and clear about what she wants, we often forget that she has also chosen her current path again and again.

As a girl with good family conditions, she has many seemingly so-called "easy" paths to choose, such as not having to spend too much time acting after marriage, such as being a vase and not fighting so hard. Industry prejudice always surrounds her, when she was young, everyone thought that actresses were vases, discriminatory remarks echoed in her ears, and when she grew older, she already had an international advantage, and many people would feel that even taking on some stereotypical roles was a so-called Hollywood job opportunity. 60 years old seems to be an age to fade out of career, etc...

Also, will the opportunity really come, can hard work break the ceiling, what is my value... Everyone has a different answer, but it's important to always face your heart.

Michelle Yeoh blocked all distractions, how "normal" she was. Let's be "normal" like her. Normal and justified.
