Chapter 23 mortal one

Big Brother is a mortal.This is not said lightly. To be able to achieve today's achievements, he must have a lot of extraordinary things, but the characteristics of him that are no different from ordinary people make him even more lovely. He didn't like going to school when he was a child, and he had various dreams.As an Aries born on April 7, he is still a quick temper.ADHD has accompanied him since he was a child until today.He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness.He is nosy and nagative, educational at all times.He also has moments of low self-esteem and regret.I will also be afraid when doing those shocking life-threatening actions.He had some romantic or poignant love stories when he was young.Now as he grows older, he begins to think more about retirement and life and death... In short, he is just like every ordinary person of us.

Here are some examples of his impatient temper, ADHD, cleanliness, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. One day he invited everyone to Italian food.Because there are only a few restaurants that he often goes to in Beijing, and the staff in the restaurant have long been familiar with him.When we arrived at the room, as usual, the eldest brother would assign the seats, and when everyone was seated, we began to prepare to order food.He first said: "Don't need those procedures, tell us what the main course is first." The waiter began to introduce what they had, and when someone said one thing, he repeated it loudly. Obviously the waiter did not speak foreign languages, and everyone also He could hear it clearly, but he had to repeat it.Several people present ordered their own main courses.Next is the soup, the eldest brother said it again and again.After ordering the soup, he said, "Okay, for other things, just follow my usual practice, and just go with the number of people."

During the dinner, he told everyone the story of eating Western food in the past. "I don't like to eat French food the most. It's not that the food is not delicious, but it's too time-consuming. Everyone just needs to order for half a day. I remember once having dinner with foreigners. I arrived at the restaurant at 5:30, and it was about the same. After eating for 7 hours, they were still ordering coffee there! There were 5 of us that day, and it took at least 45 minutes to order, and everyone was there slowly. , how to grill, and where the raw materials come from... Oh my god! The rules of ordering and serving dishes in the West are also very strange. Those steaks and chicken steaks are obviously delicious when they are very hot, but they I had to wait for everyone's main course to be ready before serving them together. I couldn't help it, so I rushed over to get my own portion, and said sorry to everyone. I like to eat hot, and it doesn't taste good when it's cold. Of course, only I am only like this when I am with my friends. If I go out to participate in such royal or foreign affairs activities, I have no choice but to wait there obediently and waste time with everyone.

"30 years ago, we were filming in Yugoslavia. We lived in a hotel, and there was no Chinese or Japanese food, which meant that the place was very underdeveloped. But the restaurant looked very high-end, and the people in it were all well-dressed. Looks decent, very gentle. Think about me and the family-making class 30 years ago, we were all a bunch of rough boys, and basically didn’t know English. A group of people sat there to order food, back and forth It’s salad, soup, steak, and you won’t say the same thing. When people ask you how to cook your steak, you will at most say how ripe it is. When ordering, some people want soup and some want salad. After a while, the salad comes first. Now, I asked the waiter about my soup. People said, you can’t serve it until you finish the salad. Then I am the boss of the family class, so I told those who ordered the salad, eat it quickly! Finally the soup When I came here, others watched me drink soup. Of course everyone was very hungry just after work, and Western food always served you a pile of bread first, and everyone ate the bread, but when the steak came, no one could eat it. Everyone I could only eat half of it. I was very upset when I saw it and thought it was too wasteful. I asked the waiter if I could serve the steak first next time. They said no. How did I fix them afterwards? As soon as I sat down, I ordered the dessert first. Dessert. They asked, don’t want anything, just want dessert? I said yes, I want dessert. After eating dessert, I want steak, and after I’m done, I want salad. Later, because I was filming there, I had to eat there every day, so they had no choice but to let us order a bunch of things and serve everything together. Only the bread was served last. It’s very refreshing to eat it all at once.”

Speaking of this, the eldest brother saw many people eating bread, so he couldn't help nagging: "Look at the bread, you all eat the bread first, and you will be full after a while, and you won't be able to eat the next dish. It’s not a good habit.” Hearing this, the bread eaters put down the bread silently. This person's impatient nature is manifested in all aspects. Even at such an advanced age, he will frantically click on the keyboard when watching the computer jump out of some uncertain situations, and the people next to him have to comfort him. If you imagine the situation of this impatient driving, it must be very picturesque.I remember that he described that he drove in Hong Kong a long time ago. He had to drag the car on the curve when he drove the car out of the underground parking lot, and he also used a very professional way, holding the steering wheel with one hand while constantly flashing the lights, and beeping with the other hand. Honk the horn to remind other cars to be careful, and it takes a moment to drive the car out of the underground garage. Zhang Lanxin, the actress of "Zodiac", told me about her experience in the car driven by her eldest brother, "It was a disaster. He drove very fiercely, very fast, and his skills were good. I was about to be thrown out after a while in the car." " Zhang Lanxin was born as a professional athlete and won the national taekwondo championship. Her physical fitness is particularly good. This is her fate, let alone an ordinary person.

Big brother's ADHD is often tied to cleanliness.I've never seen a person who loves cleaning and tidying up so much. In July 2012, I went to Thailand and Myanmar with his team to do charity. Later, the promotion of "Zodiac" was almost always there, whether it was on the plane, in the hotel, in the restaurant, in the lounge, or In the car, you can see him constantly wiping and wiping with a paper towel, sweeping and sweeping with a broom. The elder brother likes to be lively, as long as he is on a business trip, except when he is working and sleeping, everyone will always stay in his room together.Anyway, he has long been used to taking everyone to eat three meals a day, and everyone is also used to gathering in his room as soon as they return to the hotel.When we were in Thailand, we bought some wine outside to take home. He drank beer with a few boys, and poured rum for our girls with ice cubes.Both the wine bottle and the wine glass are ice, and the water dripping from the outside has been dripping onto the table.He kept holding a paper towel in his hand, wiping and wiping, wiping and wiping.There are T-shirts and underwear that he washed himself hanging in the bedroom. He is very proud when others see them, and he always shows off how clean his clothes are.

After drinking the beer, he crushed the cans and collected them together.Seeing that I was about to throw away the plastic bags I used for shopping, he came over and said, "You don't do housework when you see it." Then he rolled the plastic bags into small rolls and put them next to me.I wanted to remind him, brother, this is in a hotel, not at home, and I didn't bring these things with me when I left... Later I thought about it and forgot it.Seeing that his movements are so natural, he must have formed a habit long ago, just let him go. When eating, he always eats and cleans up the dishes.Let everyone put the finished dishes on the turntable, and then gather together and ask the waiter to clean them up. While doing it, he said: "Look at how much work this saves people. Let's not bother people to always put them one by one and collect them one by one." We serve these soups by ourselves. The waiters stand for so long every day, serving tea and water for so many people, and endure the faces of the guests. Sometimes they are scolded by others. The bully is very pitiful, we have to be nicer to them. When I was flying, when the stewardess accidentally spilled something and was scolded by others, I would go over and say it’s okay, I’ll help you get it together, shoot Pat her on the shoulder, she almost cried..." A few hundred words are omitted here.

One year, my eldest brother was working in the United States, and everyone lived with him in Beverly Hills. A colleague who helped him film documentaries wore a pair of particularly dirty sneakers when he went to his house and left them at the door. The next morning, when he was about to go out, he found that the shoes were missing, and he couldn't find them anywhere.I ran to ask Sister Jiao, and Sister Jiao calmly pointed to the side—the eldest brother was helping him brush his shoes with a basin of water on the balcony... Every time he returns to Hong Kong, he often goes to the company to clean up everyone's office when no one is around.As soon as everyone arrived at the company the next day, they found it was very clean, and then shouted one after another, where did my laptop go?I can't find my calculator!What was especially frightening was that he would clean up the office on New Year's Day and invite everyone to work together.

Once he finished promoting "The Chinese Zodiac" from Russia, and then returned to China to continue the promotional trip. As a result, he lost his luggage. As a result, he had no clothes to change for two days, so he ran several different announcements wearing the same clothes, and every time he went to a place Just nagging in public once that I lost my luggage and felt uncomfortable without changing clothes. However, as soon as this cleanliness person comes to the set, he will be honest. How can he think this is unclean and that is unclean when filming? From martial arts practice to martial arts instructor, from actor to director, he has been on the set for so many years. I have long been used to it.However, he will still ensure that his one-third of an acre of land is clean, and that is his RV for rest.When filming "The Revolution of 1911", there was a long period of filming in a large coal yard. Every day, the inside of the nose was black, and the inside of the RV was full of dust. He knew that it would be dirty again after sweeping, but as long as he rested When it was time, I was still stubbornly sweeping and sweeping.

After the earthquake in Yushu, he dispatched supplies for a plane immediately and arrived there with the brigade. At night, he lay down on the ground and slept with the officers and soldiers, covering himself with his own clothes instead of a quilt.That's when cleanliness was also left behind. Sometimes the big brother's obsessive-compulsive disorder is also mixed with cleanliness. In the restroom of his Hong Kong company, there is a "man's code" and a "female code", each with ten requirements.He once pointed to the code in a documentary and said that if this code is not only implemented by Jackie Chan's employees, but everyone in the world can implement it, then the world will be a better place.

"In the beginning, I wanted boys to pay attention to hygiene when urinating, so I listed a lot of very detailed requirements, such as lifting the ring before going to the toilet, and cleaning up any dirty places after going to the toilet, so that it is convenient for people behind Use. Don’t grab a bunch of tissues to wipe your hands after washing your hands, try to save as much as possible. It’s all requests like that.” His lovely frugality is also reflected in some small things. During the promotion of "Zodiac", several of our staff members were on his private jet, and everyone was busy with their own things. Suddenly, someone beside him laughed at him: "Brother, your socks are torn!" He looked up and said: " Oh, it's all right. I've worn these socks for a long time, they are very comfortable, and I don't want to throw them away." Speaking of socks, the eldest brother also has his own thoughts: "In the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, I wear socks before going out. If I see holes, it doesn't matter. I just wear them out. I have to change it immediately, because there are many places where you have to take off your shoes. Haha!" The eldest brother is very strict with the people in his company and the family-making class. He has to eat all the meals, and the rest must be packed.When he invites everyone to dinner in Beijing, he always sees leftovers on the table. After the first round of cold dishes are served, after everyone has eaten a few rounds, he starts to stare at the plates with leftovers and distribute them to different people. Let others eat it, and he will also be responsible for sweeping up some.After eating, all the dishes are piled up, and then ask the waiter to take them away.When it comes to hot dishes, after a few rounds of eating, he will start to say, "If no one in the circle eats, pack it." People who eat with him for the first time may not understand what is going on, and they will see him put the table away. Turned around, and then asked people to pack up the remaining dishes on the table.Finally, when eating the staple food, there was nothing left on the table.You must not be polite when eating with him. He will often turn the food in front of you and say, eat this. Possibly eat that dish yourself or pack it without you even tasting a bite. My eldest brother was renovating a house in Hong Kong for a while, and he wanted to buy books about woodcarving, and he bought three identical copies of each book.His theory is that I should put one on the bookshelf for preservation, take one for myself to study slowly, and give one to my decorator, so that he can immediately know what I want , so convenient.In the past, when he encountered a lot of things he liked, he would buy double or even N copies. There are so many things in the warehouse in Hong Kong that it is scary. Once it was all in his room again, and everyone was busy with their work.He suddenly took out two wads of money and asked me to help him count the money together.When I was counting, I just watched him standing by, arranging all the banknotes facing the same direction, with heads facing one side, and he could not mistake the front and back.I said, what are you doing?Do you want to put money in one direction?He said, I have always been like this! Then I asked me again, how to tie this ten thousand and ten thousand?I remembered that the staff of the bank were all tied up with a long strip of paper. They were very handsome and skilled. They searched for newspapers all over the room. After trying it, they found it was too soft and easy to break. Then they looked for magazines. After the trial, it was still easy to break. He saw that I was studying the note, and he became interested, and said that I knew I knew, so he ran to the side to find the paper, took out a knife and carefully cut the paper, and after making a note carefully, the two of them tinkered for a long time He couldn't tie it up either, and finally he said, oops, let's use a rubber band!At this time, sister Duo (the eldest brother's assistant) quietly said next to her: It should have been like this a long time ago... As for the most classic example of Big Brother's obsessive-compulsive disorder, when he was in his 20s from Hong Kong to Australia, he grabbed a 16-pound bowling ball all the way on the plane.I asked him: "Why did you bring a bowling ball when you went abroad?" He replied seriously: "I like to play bowling. I played every day at that time. I thought I might never go back to Hong Kong after I went to Australia. , then you must take the bowling ball with you!" After hearing this answer, my friends and I were stunned... This is Big Brother Mortal.
