went to the cinema to watch "Hot and Hot", and the people in the entire theater were reluctant to leave for a long time after the movie ended. In addition to being moved and admired, there are almost no words to express my feelings after watching the movie. Today's Jia Ling is no longer the single image of the "comedy cross talk actress". She's a good director, she's a disciplined actor, and she's anyone she wants to be.
Such Jia Ling is too good!
I have heard the saying that all the blockbusters in the world come from those who dare to be cruel to themselves. Indeed, those who are cruel to themselves often can't bear to let them down. For example, 55-year-old Lin Zhixuan: he must sleep 12 hours a day. Drink only hot water, don't eat spicy, don't eat hemp, and don't drink alcohol. Before dawn at 5 o'clock, he was already singing, and his singing voice shuttled, which can be called an artificial wake-up alarm clock.
For example, the protagonist of this article, Kayla Mak (Kayla Mak), an 18-year-old Chinese ballet girl, is also a "outrageous" person who is cruel to herself: "trying to get close to perfection", the time is accurate to the minute, and she was admitted to the dance department of The Juilliard School in the United States, which has been established for 116 years and has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard.
01 She started practicing ballet at the age of four, and her love made her more self-disciplined
Kayla is of mixed Chinese, Japanese and Cuban descent, and her mom is also a dancer.
Behold, our little swan is about to take off, awesome! At the age of 4, Kayla put on her dancing shoes and took her first ballet lesson to the melody of Swan Lake.
Maybe it's because I inherited my mother's dance genes, or maybe it's because I witnessed it since I was a child, and my mother practiced it over and over again for a dance move. Kayla's love for dancing has gradually developed from a love for dancing. She trained professionally at the Westchester School of Dance in New York, specializing in modern ballet.
Flat shoulders, thin waist, long legs, good flexibility and strong muscles: Kayla has a high level of talent. However, what is even more striking than talent is her high level of self-discipline driven by love.
As a professional dancer with a lot of practice, Kayla has to change her shoes every two weeks. Every time you change shoes, you need patience and meticulous running-in. She flies needles and threads, sews elastic bands and ribbons on new ballet shoes, and has sophisticated movements and good craftsmanship at the level of "grandma";
In order to prevent the new dancing shoes from abusing my feet, I had to 'abuse' them a few times first! Kayla stood on her shoes and stomped hard. I took it in my hand again, bent it repeatedly, pressed it hard, and lifted the shoes up, and beat them the floor: "Don't underestimate these, you can make the new dancing shoes softer and more close to the feet, and the sound when jumping and landing can be softer and minimize the interference to the audience!" Kayla said.
After abusing the shoes, she turned on the "pampering mode" again: she brought a brush and foundation, and applied the foundation evenly around the dancing shoes to match her skin tone; Apply rosin or buck gum to the soles of your shoes: "This will prevent the floor from slipping" ......
Kayla was busy, as if she were the Shoes' bosom friend and companion.
Because most of the performances are broadcast on TV, in order to allow the audience to fully appreciate the beauty of dance through the screen, dancers must move more vigorously and intensively when training and performing, which is undoubtedly a very big challenge for Kayla's body, especially the Achilles tendon.
For Kayla, the "tiger oil" used to relax the Achilles tendon and relieve muscle fatigue is the best partner and comrade-in-arms. As a result of frequent application, she has a lingering smell of tiger oil.
When others said that the smell of tiger oil was "weird and unpleasant", she laughed playfully: "I think it smells good, it smells like cinnamon, this is my signature smell, exclusive perfume!" ”
Kayla was the master of her own time at a very young age, and she arranged her 24-hour day to get things done when she wanted. Wake up and go to bed by consciousness, and the school's cultural class arranges its own time. Even if you take the subway in New York in the middle of the night, your parents are 100 at ease.
Her academic performance is fantastic. Among the many courses, AP Psychology is the hardest bone to gnaw: "For me, it's super hard, and it takes twice as much time as other homework!" But she still got a high score of 92 in this class.
I'm so busy almost every hour or even minute that I can't stop crying. And you enjoy it! ”
I don't know how you did it?! ”
When asked by her classmates and friends, Kayla's response is usually three sentences:If you come, you will be safe, and the boat will be natural and straight to the bridge, just do it (just do it) ......
02 At the age of 16, she bloomed in the dance "World Cup", and self-discipline made her strive to get close to perfection
Since the age of 5, Kayla has won awards and won heavyweight awards such as "National Mini Female Outstanding Dancer" and "Best Young Dancer of the Year" in the United States.
Despite her numerous awards, Kayla continues to challenge herself to push the boundaries of what's possible: "The hardest part about dancing is that you can never be perfect. What you need to do is work hard to get close to perfection! ”
Despite her busy academic schedule and intense pressure, she couldn't let go of her love for ballet and couldn't stop her desire to be "close to perfection".
She signed up for the 2019 World Dance Championships (WOD). WOD is equivalent to the World Cup in football, the Grammys in the ** industry and the Oscars in the film industry, and the weight and influence can be imagined.
Before the competition, she had to maintain high-intensity dance practice and take care of her heavy studies.
"Teen Vogue", a top fashion publication focusing on the Gen Z group, recorded Kayla's time management in the week before the competition.
At 6:15 a.m., with the urging of 4 alarm clocks, Kayla's long, busy day began. Sleepy-eyed, in order to get rid of the sleepy bug as soon as possible, she began to stretch and split while brushing her teeth.
After eating milk cereal quickly, she quickly put her tights into her bag, which was her "battle uniform".
Dear Kayla, stop practicing. Come and relax! "The morning class was so full that it was almost breathless. During the precious lunch break, the students gathered together to laugh and chat, but Kayla came to the corridor to stretch and split: "For me, stretching and splitting is the best relaxation!" ”
After all the lessons of the day, it took only about 10 minutes on the train to fill herself with a cheese pizza, which was her lunch.
It took an hour to get to the dance studio. What a precious 60 minutes to take a nap and recuperate? Or look at the scenery outside the window? Thinking too much, Kayla pulls out her textbook and writes her homework until the train comes in.
Upon arrival at the studio, there is a five-hour high-intensity ballet training followed by an additional one hour for the World Dance Competition.
Finally, Kayla is out of class. She took the subway and caught the train like a whirlwind.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and Kayla, who was hungry and tired, took out her books, but her eyelids were fighting. The little girl rested for about 20 minutes and insisted on doing her homework.
At around 11 p.m., Kayla finally pushed the door open.
But she still couldn't stop: squeezing out 15 minutes to finish her belated dinner. Then move to the desk and race against the clock: complete in 25 minutes** and submit.
Stepping on the dot" to complete the last task of the long day, the little girl threw herself on the bed with a cheer: "This is the most wonderful moment!" ”
The next day, the four alarms still went off at 6:15. Kayla continues to race against the clock, switching between a ballet dancer and a senior in high school.
Kayla, 16, bloomed at the World Dance Competition (WOD): scoring above 90 points in every appearance, especially in the last dance, 95An astonishing score of 3 points.
After the final dance, Kayla jumped off the stage. The applause and cheers have not stopped, and she has already pounced on the desk: "The competition is over, I am going to start doing my homework!" ”
03 Self-discipline is a very advanced talent in itself
Chinese freestyle skier Gu Ailing has the same self-discipline and more shining footprints as Kayla
Skiing at the age of 3;
At the age of 7, he was discovered by a professional ski instructor;
At the age of 9, he won the National Junior Ski Championship.
By the age of 14, the number of gold medals in skiing had reached 50;
At the age of 15, he was in the top three of the FIS FIS annual standings.
Glittering titles such as "World Champion" and "Talented Girl" are the most common prefixes in her name, and her extreme self-discipline and hard work are often overshadowed by a dazzling aura.
When Eileen first started learning to ski, she went to the ski training site from Monday to Friday. It was an eight-hour round trip, and the car became her mobile desk.
The car is moving at a high speed. She put her books on her lap, wrote her homework, reviewed her homework, and was accustomed to the bumps and shaking that appeared from time to time. When I was tired, I lay on the window for a while, blowing the wind, looking at the scenery, and soon resumed the mode of dry work.
In addition to her studies and ski training, she runs for 40 minutes every day, even in the sweltering heat of Dubai and the bitter cold of Moscow.
Do you take a break in rain or snow? Run indoors for 40 minutes!
Since becoming a Chinese citizen on June 6, 2019, Gu Ailing has devoted herself to preparing for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Not only did she finish her high school classes ahead of schedule with a "straight A" score, but she also scored more than 99 on the SAT (equivalent to the American college entrance examination).8% of the candidates became students at Stanford University.
Heaven is fair, and the time given to everyone is 24 hours a day. Gu Ailing's training time is not more than others, the key is a high degree of self-discipline and concentration driven by love, so that she can "squeeze" every minute and every second:"I make the most of every minute on the slopes and I enjoy every second of training! ”Eileen said.
Actor Peng Yuyan is also a "ruthless person". Director Jiang Wen commented on Peng Yuyan: "This is not an ordinary person, his self-discipline and hard work make him very powerful!" ”
Peng Yuyan learns a new skill when he plays a play, and he realizes an upgrade and shift when he plays a play. In "Roll Over Ashin", in order to play an excellent gymnast, he trained at high intensity for more than 10 hours a day, and his hands opened his skin several times. The normal range of body fat percentage for adult men is 15% to 18%, and for male athletes is 7% to 15%, Peng Yuyan's total body fat content is only an astonishing 3%, with clear muscle lines and beautiful like marble sculptures.
In order to be closer to the character in "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics" in terms of image, he was "wild" ** and gnawed on bell peppers when he was hungry, and lost 32 pounds in 40 days. The moment he bent over and lowered his head, the vertebrae behind him bulged one by one. After his family saw the stills he popped, they couldn't help but exclaim and cry.
Would you like to take a sip? The director put a glass of water in front of Peng Yuyan. He hadn't drunk much water in a whole day, and his throat was on fire. Including the director, no one asked him not to drink water for 3 days, this was his own suffering, just to truly present his haggard and confused eyes.
Drink it after shooting, no hurry, no thirst! Peng Yuyan gritted his teeth and finished the day's scene.
In "Fierce Wars" directed by Lin Chaoxian, Peng Yuyan devil training and dieting for three months. Show Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and lock skills to look like ......
In order to play the role of "Operation Mekong", he participated in the training of the royal Thai royal security guard, and at the cost of open skin, multiple bruises, swollen joints, and new skills in shooting, fighting, and Thai.
Peng Yuyan often said:"I'm a person with no talent, I can only fight with my life! ”
Isn't Peng Yuyan talented?
Actually,Regardless of talent or mediocre qualifications, with a high degree of self-discipline with love, and with "life" to fight, to become your own "time management master", isn't this the highest level of talent?
Those who have this kind of talent will definitely be rewarded by God!
