Chapter 4 as normal as Andy Lau

I have always admired a kind of person who maintains a normal life in an abnormal environment. The heroine in the British film "The Palm of Elena" is such a person.A 50-year-old lady, in order to make up for her sick grandson's travel expenses to Australia for free medical treatment, had no choice but to go to the romantic place.Even so, she still dresses up for work and does her best to soften her surroundings.In the windowless, dark and narrow "workshop", she hung a small landscape painting brought from home and put a group photo of her family on the table.In such an abnormal environment, she still pays attention to the details, still implements her own life policy, arranges a small aura for herself, and in that aura, she is the master of the house and protects herself from harm.

The same goes for the heroine of the film, played by Nicole Kidman.Living in a small town in a foreign country, she worked as a hard labor for the residents of the town. Despite being repeatedly abused and ravaged, she still managed to save money. She bought ceramic figurines in the small town shop and bought them one by one until she had enough money for a set. .This accumulation process is a process of retaining hope and love.The townspeople knew this too, so when they later punished her, they broke her china figurines.They probably hated her very much, for keeping their own world so intact and unmoved in the slightest, making their viciousness futile.

People who can make their life start well and end well often have this quality in them.For example Karen Mok, in such a circle, maintains the integrity of the form of love; for example, Chen Songling, when she first entered the entertainment industry, she was still a student, she often brought books to the set, and read them during filming intervals. She was ridiculed, but if she hadn't been protected by the books she had read, based on her experience of falling out with her family at the age of fifteen, and her life experience, she should at least be the second Nam Jieying, but she didn't.She reads, and books are her talisman.

Another example is Andy Lau, as an actor, he always maintains a normal diet and work and rest, so although he is a carrier of HBV, he has never developed a disease, and he can become a publicity ambassador for hepatitis B prevention and treatment, making the best image endorsement for 100 million HBV carriers .What saved him was his life. A normal life form is protection and salvation.The most touching part of Stephen King's novel is here.The heroine in the book has a husband who has serious violent tendencies, and one of her family life's most important tasks is to accept beatings.After escaping her husband's grasp, she struggled to find a job and managed to keep her lifestyle healthy and intact amidst the turmoil.She rented a small house, cleaned it immaculately, and bought a cheap landscape painting to hang on the wall.In the novel, it was the painting that saved her in the end, but isn't it implying that it was her life that saved her?

Therefore, in the old theater troupes, students were strictly regulated to work and rest, and to stay overnight without leaving makeup, in order to establish a self-disciplined way of life.A person can be an actor, but he can't live like an actor, with day and night upside down, morning and evening, with a coquettish smile on the corner of his mouth, and last night's lipstick on his lips. What makes a person an actor is not his identity, but his way of life.
