Chapter 33 why wear tang suit

Why do I always love to wear Tang suits these years? When I went to America to shoot Cannonball Run, no one in Hollywood knew me.I acted as a Japanese in a movie, but foreign actors mistook me for a Japanese on the set, and it didn’t help if I explained it.During that time, I wore a suit to a lot of events.People ask where I am from, "Where are you from?" "Hong Kong." "Oh, Hong Kong, a part of Japan?" I have to explain that no, Hong Kong is Hong Kong, and Japan is Japan.At that time, none of them knew where Hong Kong was.In many places, Asians look alike in their eyes, no matter how much they wear suits, they cannot tell the difference.

At that time, I thought, no, I want you to know that I am Chinese when you look at the clothes in the future, so I started wearing Tang suits.Over time, people will know at a glance, oh, you are Chinese.Later, when I really became famous all over the world, Tang suit became a symbol of me. I would never clash with other people’s clothes, and it will always be very special.You can see that many female stars are afraid of bumping into shirts, but I rarely bump into shirts with others. One thing is very interesting. In fact, many years ago, before I started wearing Tang suits, I often wore women's clothes.

If you see my previous photos, you will find that many of them are women's clothing, so I will not compete with male stars in clothes at that time.I always choose women's casual clothes to wear.At that time, I was filming in France, and there were plus sizes for women's clothing, so I could wear them.The colors are also very nice, powder blue, pink, I like these bright clothes, and I was young at that time, 21 or 20 years old, I can still try these bright colors and more special styles.It’s like when others are imitating “Plan A”, I will shoot “Police Story”, and when they imitate “Police Story”, I will shoot “Drunken Master 2”, which will always be different from others. The English name is Outstanding, which is also Learned from America.

I remember that there was a book in the United States called "Dress for success", which talked about the success of dressing. It was very famous. It taught you how to dress so that you would be more likely to succeed.At that time, I could not understand English very well, so I asked the manager to buy this book, and he explained it to me while reading it.It is written that the man, a leader, wears blue clothes and white strips to represent the supreme authority.If both wear the same blue, the one with the white strip is supreme.Girls in the office must wear knee-length skirts and wear glasses. Wearing glasses will give the boss the impression that you are hardworking and bookish.Do not wear brown clothes, I have forgotten why.At that time, I read these theories and thought they were quite interesting.

In fact, you can see many successful artists, they all have their own style of dressing.Michael Jackson, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Faye Wong... are all like this.Faye Wong was called Wang Jingwen when she first debuted, and she hadn't found her own characteristics yet. After she changed her name back to Faye Wong and gradually found her own style, she became more and more recognizable.Many international stars are like this, including many Korean stars now.You have to capture a characteristic of yourself so that the audience will leave an impression on you.Be sure to take a special path.It's easy to walk someone else's path, but it's a bit harder to walk your own path, but if you succeed, others will remember you.This is also like a movie. When everyone sees my movie, they will know that it is a Jackie Chan movie, and then I will be successful.
