Lin Yue, the gold medalist of the men's doubles ten-meter platform at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, his duo with Huo Liang is known as the "moon combination".
In 2016, Lin Yue and Chen Aisen won the Rio Olympic Men's Doubles Ten Meter Platform Championship, thus becoming the first in history and the only Olympic doubles doubles ten meter platform competition.
After the 2017 Tianjin National Games, Lin Yue chose to retire, ending his 20-year diving career.
Now goodbye Lin Yue, a white T-shirt, a casual dress, hair casually combed behind the head, tied a small braid, like the breath of fashionistas. When asking for a photo of him on the spot, Lin Yue thought for a moment, or refused, "Or ask my team for a photo, today this body is too casual, no dress." ”
Striving to transform from athlete, Lin Yue has used new standards to demand of himself.

"What I'm doing now is blending my dreams, my hobbies, and what I'm good at." For many athletes, retiring means leaving the field they are most familiar with and losing an "umbrella". From the system to the society, Lin Yue is also experiencing the initial long period of exploration.
<h1>"Dream of becoming a kung fu star like Jackie Chan"</h1>
Lin Yue has two dreams, the first is to become an Olympic champion in diving, which has been completed 11 years ago, and the second is closely related to the film and television industry.
After the 2016 Rio Olympics, Lin Yue and Chen Aisen co-starred in the racing movie "Passion Flying Car". That was Lin Yue's first experience of the film and television industry, and it also gave him the first close contact with the work of an actor. Lin Yue commented that the experience was "particularly good".
Because it was a cameo scene, Lin Yue only filmed for one week, but the actor's "tired" Lin Yue also felt it. "I have to stay up late at night, and I also have to wait for a night with makeup, and I didn't make it." Because the shooting time is irregular, it will inevitably lead to insufficient sleep time, lin Yue will seize all the time to rest.
The film was filmed in autumn, and the temperature on the mountain at night was less than 10 degrees. And because the costume in the play is only a single pair of pants and a coat, Lin Yue will quickly wrap up in a cotton suit after filming.

For Lin Yue, memorizing lines is a challenge, and the biggest challenge comes from acting. The director team specially invited a professional instructor for him, and each scene will be tutored by hand. And Lin Yue's comprehension was approved by the teacher, and he could find the feeling of a scene from several times at the beginning. It didn't take long for him to imitate the teacher after telling and demonstrating it over and over again.
Although Lin Yue's role was successful, he only scored 5 points (out of 10 points) for his first "electric shock", "There are still too many to improve, and the state of the entire actor, including some details like micro-expressions, eyes, and emotional expressions, is very difficult." ”
Lin Yue said that his film and television dreams have a lot to do with Jackie Chan. Because he has watched Jackie Chan's movies since he was a child, he especially likes to act in action scenes, and Jackie Chan has become the goal of his efforts: "Jackie Chan won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, which is very long for the Chinese people. As an athlete, I have experienced these moments many times on the field. I hope that I can also win glory for the country when I change the field, which is also my original intention. ”
Lin Yue had a dream
At present, a sports film in which Lin Yue is involved is in intensive preparation, and he has been deeply involved since the script writing stage, and is expected to start in October this year. This will also be the first time Lin Yue has appeared on the screen as the male number one.
<h1>"I like diving more."</h1>
Although retired, Lin Yue's enthusiasm for diving not only did not cool down, but often had the urge to "can't help but want to jump". At the National Diving Championships in April, Lin Yue rushed to Chongqing to watch his former partner Chen Aisen's single 10-meter platform competition.
Now Lin Yue will also communicate with Chen Aisen about the diving team every day
Chen Aisen is Lin Yue's second Olympic partner. Compared with Huo Liang, who was two years older than himself, Lin Yue and Chen Aisen's partner felt more youthful atmosphere. "I don't have the same feelings as Chen Aisen, after all, we have experienced the Olympics together. I made him, and he made me. ”
After retiring and looking at diving, Lin Yue said that he "liked it more." 20 years of diving career, not only let Lin Yue exercise the resilience of athletes, but also let him from a child who has a vague concept of collective honor, slowly understand what kind of things he wants to fight for, understand the value of the team: "I am very aware of all the difficulties I have experienced, without leadership help, without coaches, teammates, without my friends and unknown fans silently supporting me, it is difficult for me to get to where I am today." ”
Two Olympic doubles gold medals allowed Lin Yue to start the history of men's taiwan
Due to the success of diving, Lin Yue also hopes to contribute his small strength to the popularization of diving. For example, as a commentator of the 2018 Wuhan Diving World Cup CCTV, he participated in the broadcast of the competition, and for example, he was the technical director of the web drama "Fluttering Youth", providing professional help for the actors' diving performances. "But I'm not going to be a coach, I don't think I'm going to be a qualified coach." Lin Yue said, "I am willing to do some new experiments, through training or other methods to popularize diving." ”
<h1>"Every industry is not easy"</h1>
If acting is Lin Yue's dream, sports is his specialty, and food is his hobby.
Lin Yue's other identity now is a sports investor, and he is ready to carry out some things in sports real estate and sports education. At the same time, Lin Yue, as a Chaoshan person, also hopes to try to do food and spread Chaoshan culture through Chaoshan cuisine.
In addition, Lin Yue may also appear in front of you as a singer. In 2016, Lin Yue "debuted" with a song "LoveU2" in "Every Day Upward". In March this year, at the "Star Shine Zhongtai Tribute to Sanjiang" literary and art evening, Lin Yue also sang a new song "Leaping Dreams" created by friends and produced by himself in front of nearly 10,000 audiences.
Lin Yue tried to develop multi-habitat
The scene that is highly anticipated, Lin Yue is not unfamiliar. However, in the face of the ten thousand people stage, even if he has experienced hundreds of battles, Lin Yue cannot not be nervous. A series of training as a singer also gave Lin Yue a new understanding of the industry: "Don't look at singing, the actual physical requirements are quite large." Pay attention to the throat every day, also need to run exercise, there are also many ways to practice sound. I feel that every industry is not easy to do well. ”
Having tried so much in all walks of life, Lin Yue has not forgotten his studies. Because of the previous competitions and training, there was no way to study in the school system, and a lot of credits were missed, Lin Yue's undergraduate studies are now in his 11th year, and he finally graduated from Chinese University this summer.
However, as a student of the School of Journalism, Lin Yue did not want to engage in journalism-related work like his sister Hu Yadan: "I think it is particularly difficult to be a practitioner of the news industry, and the professional requirements are also very high. ”
Work plus academics, let Lin Yue in the graduation season "anxious"
At the end of the interview, I asked Lin Yue: "Have you found the direction you really want to do?" He replied very sincerely: "There is something I especially want to do, and what suits you is still groping." ”
After retiring for more than a year, Lin Yue tried many possibilities. Perhaps because it was a first attempt, all possible outcomes were unknown. But from the look in his eyes, he couldn't see the confusion, and some of them were just as firm as when he stood on the platform.
As he said: "As an athlete, I can't stop at the national championship, I must work towards the highest goal." When I stepped into another industry, the goal was also at the top. "This young man, who is about to turn 28, still maintains a momentum.
Perhaps, for the sake of his dreams, he could fight again.
