The most watched entertainment news in these two days is undoubtedly the Oscars.
At the ceremony, the most concerned was "Instantaneous Universe" starring Michelle Yeoh.
It swept the Oscars.
She won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Actress.
The focus was on the last award, which made history and Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian actress to the Oscar.
The moment the award was announced, the audience was boiling, full of cheers and screams.
Michelle Yeoh walked on the field, held her chest several times and took a deep breath, and it took more than ten seconds to collect her mood.
After that, Michelle Yeoh spoke.
Thank you to many people, the director, the crew, her 84-year-old mom, siblings, and the Hong Kong family where her career began.
Yes, Michelle Yeoh has a strong sense of national identity.
A Malaysian whose ancestral home is Fujian, China, Michelle Yeoh once said that although she lives in Malaysia, she is Chinese and has a Chinese sense of beauty, and she must remember who she is wherever she goes.
Not only for Asians, Michelle Yeoh also won glory for women this time.
She said: "I hope that all women, don't listen to anyone saying that you have long passed your golden age, and never give up." ”
This sentence matches her muscular lines full of strength and is uplifting.
It is said that "fifty know the destiny of heaven, sixty flower armor, seventy ancient rare, eighty old", Michelle Yeoh is exactly 60 this year, this year she climbed the peak of life, indeed bull, admirable.
Combined with her experience along the way, I would like to call it "the tough woman who came out of the greenhouse".
Next, take a look at her legend.
Michelle Yeoh actually had a good life and was born in Rome.
Born in 62 years and from a wealthy family, her grandfather Yang Kam Kun founded the Malaysian Kinta Bus Company in the thirties of the last century, and her father Yang Jiande studied law in the UK when he was young, and after returning to China, he worked as a professional lawyer while helping his father manage the company, and was later canonized as Dato.
It is said that "Dato' is the highest title of a non-royal family in Malaysia, and Michelle Yeoh later acquired it.
In addition, Michelle Yeoh's father also served as the chairman of the Malaysian Business Sports and Leisure Club, as well as an advisor to the Perak Hokkien Association, and was also active in the Perak MCA and was one of the elders.
A good starting line can give people access to a wider world.
At that time, ordinary people could go to junior high school, Michelle Yeoh learned ballet at the age of four, learned to draw and piano, and various sports, swimming, badminton, diving, downhill skiing and horseback riding.
At the age of 15, she followed her parents to England to study ballet at the Royal Academy of Dance in London. Later, due to a spinal injury, he switched to dance and minor in art, and received his degree at the age of 20.
The year 21, 1983, was a year of change in fate.
Most rich people will choose a smooth and smooth road, find a decent job after reading, and then find a rich businessman who matches their identity, and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Michelle Yeoh was different, she ran to the beauty pageant, participated in the Miss Malaysia pageant that year, and won the championship. In the same year, she was elected "Miss Melbourne" in Melbourne, Australia.
The road behind this begins to be different.
After the pageant, she met her ex-husband, Hong Kong businessman Pan Disheng.
is a rich second generation, the family started in the watch business, studied abroad to major in philosophy and economics, after returning to China, there is no son to inherit his father's business, but to find another way, buy foreign brand-name clothing and high-end watches Hong Kong franchise.
Today, Dickson Group has grown to become one of the largest and most profitable retail and wholesale groups in Hong Kong.
Michelle Yeoh met Pan Disheng through the introduction of a friend.
The timing is quite coincidental, one has just finished the pageant, and the other is planning to invest in the movie.
At that time, the background of the times was also special, because the Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue were undecided, and since 1983, Hong Kong has seen a wave of immigration, economic recession, and a slump in the film industry.
Known as the "Kingdom of Movies," Shaw has reduced filming and even rented out theaters. But Pan Disheng thinks differently, he believes that movies are a kind of popular entertainment, even if the economic recession and consumption power decline, it will not be affected, and moreover, the movie can also advertise his brand-name clothes.
So, he bought Debao Film Company, founded by Sammo Hung and Shum Jianxun, and signed Michelle Yeoh.
In '84, Pan acquired world franchises to Guy Laroche's products.
Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan shoot an advertisement for the Guy Laroche watch.
Three years later, Michelle Yeoh collaborated with Chow Yun-fat on another advertisement for Guy Laroche watches.
As for movies, Michelle Yeoh made her first film "Owl and Dumbo".
Starring Sammo Hung, Lin Zixiang and Yip Dexian, Michelle Yeoh plays a weak teacher who is always bullied by her classmates.
Looking at the screenshots of the film that year, is Michelle Yeoh quite beautiful?
But she is not the same as the average rich family, and she has a strong energy.
In 85, Michelle Yeoh reported her relationship with Pan Disheng, according to the general storyline development, the beauty pageant champion caught up with the business boss, and Meimei made a vase in the future, relaxed and comfortable.
Do you think Park Yeon-jin just asked her boss's husband to advertise for her to maintain a decent job?
But Michelle Yeoh worked very hard, acting in the first action film "Royal Senior Sister" in 85.
For this film, she specially went to the Hong family class to practice martial arts for half a year, practicing every day, playing sandbags, and kicking legs.
There is also a dangerous action of wearing glass in the film.
With this film, Michelle Yeoh was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year.
Since then, in order to help her open up the Asian market, the company invited Japanese movie star Hiroyuki Sanada and Michelle Yeoh to star in the sequel "Royal Warrior" "Royal Senior Sister".
But later, maybe Pan Disheng wants Michelle Yeoh to return to the family and become a rich wife.
In 1988, the two got married, and Michelle Yeoh quit the film industry after filming "The Thief of Babel".
But the man was still not as good as the career, and three years later, Michelle Yeoh divorced.
After the divorce, she immediately made a comeback, and resolutely embarked on the road of stardom, filming action movies such as "Police Story 3 Super Cop", "The Legend of Modern Heroes", "New Meteor Butterfly Sword", "Wing Chun" and so on.
To say, being a star is really hard.
Either he started from a young age like Wu Jing and had children's skills, or he debuted halfway and paid ten times the hardships, and in the simple environment at that time, the protection measures were not enough, and he had to take a high risk. High cost and high investment, stars are naturally rare.
Among the male stars who can be named, such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Fan Shaohuang and so on.
So far, these people are all wounded.
There are relatively few female stars.
In the seventies and eighties in Hong Kong, there were some female stars, Xu Feng, Yuan Qiu, Yang Panpan, etc., but the ones who persisted to the end and could be called were probably Zheng Peipei and Hui Yinghong.
Michelle Yeoh entered the industry later than the two elders, learned later, and naturally paid more.
I have done all kinds of high-risk actions such as riding motorcycles and jumping off buildings.
While acting in "The Story of Akin", he jumped off an eighteen-meter bridge and broke his cervical vertebrae and was seriously injured.
The film ends with the subtitle "Tribute to Michelle Yeoh and the martial artists who have contributed to Hong Kong cinema".
Visible, how dangerous.
Michelle Yeoh once said that she and Jackie Chan and Jet Li could not buy insurance.
But every point of hard work is a harvest, because these desperate filmmakers have the unique charm of Hong Kong films, and also let the public feel the spirit of filmmakers.
Fist to flesh, clean and neat, flying cornices and walls, flashing and moving, without water.
And now... It's hard to put into words.

The bells and whistles of editing, the bells and whistles, the action movies made into cartoons, somewhat funny.
Back to Michelle Yeoh.
During the development of her career, Michelle Yeoh had a lot of love, including jewelry merchants, doctors, film presidents, etc., during which she reached the level of engagement, but the other party also hoped that she could quit the film industry, and Michelle Yeoh finally chose her beloved career.
So far, she has a boyfriend of 17 years who is not married.
As for the later stages of her career, she slowly developed into Hollywood.
Or play a hard female role.
Or transform and shoot "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Children of Yellowstone".
Over the years, the amount of films has decreased, but she has not stopped, still filming or waiting for the characters she wants to express her heart.
"Instantaneous Universe" is what she has been waiting for for a long time.
People who love their careers always sparkle, and you can see the certainty and confidence in her eyes.
When Michelle Yeoh was interviewed abroad, the other party asked her if Jackie Chan brought her into the field of martial arts films.
Michelle Yeoh said no, because Jackie Chan is a chauvinist pig, which means machismo.
Jackie Chan would tell her that women should stay at home and cook and do nothing, except Michelle Yeoh.
Why?
Because Michelle Yeoh will teach him a hard lesson.
"Lesson" may have a little exaggeration, and in many interviews, Michelle Yeoh does not release domineering, on the contrary, it is very comfortable.
She has her own desires, a desire to prove herself with an Oscar, and someone of the same skin color as her.
They also have the ability to fully control their emotions and will not depend on others.
If you like flowers, call the florist instead of a friend or lover.
But at the same time, she does not define others, gentle, calm and tolerant.
Women do not have to be husbands and children, nor do they have to be careerists, but look at their own choices.
Laughing is not necessarily because of career success or happy love, but because of inner stability.
That's great.
Beyond the worldly definition of success, praise for a person in real life is often inseparable from love and career, as if getting is the winner in life, but if you return to the essence and can smile brightly, you already have happiness.
Similarly, she used her own example to show that age and gender should not be defined. 60-year-old women can also break the shackles of reality and strive to realize their dreams.
For Michelle Yeoh, the dream is to win an Oscar, and for many 60-year-olds who have never tried anything new in their lives, it may be learning to drive, travel abroad, try to start a new hobby and so on.
It's never too late to live, and compared to the next second, the present is always up to date.
May everyone who is extraordinary or ordinary have the same vigorous vitality as her.
