In the White Horse Mountain Villa in the eastern suburbs, Zhou Fangyuan met Uncle Long for the first time.

This villa was prepared by him for his uncle's family. Zhou Fangyuan's uncle is an honest farmer, following Zhou Fangyuan's family and handling some agricultural affairs in the group. You can say that he has a heart, after all, he is his own relative, and it is nothing to please him. But you can also say that he is the same as always, when Zhou Fangyuan was down in his previous life, when his family was down, his uncle and aunt were as good to them as they are today. You can even say that he has a grateful heart, if it weren't for the Zhou family to let him work in the group, their family's life would definitely not be as good as it is now.

My uncle is a good hand at farming, but he himself is limited by the shackles of education and vision, and his ability to accept and apply some new technologies is obviously insufficient.

Without him, the group can also recruit other people, recruit college students, undergraduates, master's students, and even directly doctoral students, as long as the money is enough, it is not afraid of not being able to recruit people. The level of my uncle may have some practical advantages compared to the average undergraduate, but for master's and doctoral degrees, it is not comparable. It can be said that the group left him, and it didn't matter at all. But if he leaves the distant group, life will not be a sharp decline, but a large dive is still completely predictable.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan doesn't need to be grateful, and he doesn't need his elders to be like this, he will feel uncomfortable. If he were to say it, he would rather say that it was a sign of intimacy with relatives.

Zhou Fangyuan is a person who does not like family businesses, and he firmly believes that modern and mature enterprises should not be family-owned. Of course, his idea may be biased, but he himself thinks so, so what's the use of what other people say? Nothing can be changed anyway. And Zhou Fangyuan, a person who doesn't like to engage in family businesses at all, has no objection to his uncle's position in the group, and the relationship between the two sides can be seen.

Not only now, but in their previous lives, when they were down, their uncle's family also helped them as much as possible when they were in difficulty, including the second aunt's family, and the relatives on the side of the grandmother's family were very close. Especially Zhou Fangyuan remembers very clearly, about 10 years in his previous life, his house was demolished once, and after this demolition, they lived very close to their second aunt's house. In addition, my grandfather passed away, and my grandmother was unwilling to find a wife again, and she was also unwilling to trouble her children, so she voluntarily chose to go to a nursing home, which was not too far from the two families.

So on the side of grandma's house, it is really a small gathering for three days and a big gathering for five days, unlike the grandfather's house in the previous life, even if it is the second uncle, the third uncle and the aunt, they live far away from each other, and there is little contact, only when the New Year's festival is over, they will get together at the grandfather's house. Even the grandfather himself said that this is his old man still alive, if one day his old man's head falls - gone, whether these children can still get together for the New Year's holidays, it is really an unknown.

The different intimacy between the two families is vividly expressed here.

Of course, this has nothing to do with what is going to be said now.

This villa was built last year, and it was decided by Zhou Fangyuan to customize a batch of villas for the group's senior management, just under the Baima Mountain in the eastern suburbs, a large piece of land was approved, and more than 30 villas were built in one go, which caused a sensation in Beitong City at that time. People outside wanted to find out, and some people expressed their willingness to spend money to buy a villa, but Zhou Fangyuan set it at the beginning, this is a reward for high-level employees, so he will not sell it. As for how employees will choose after getting the property, it is not up to him. Anyway, he stipulated that these houses are not allowed to be sold during the employee's employment. If you want to resign, you can sell it, or you can sell it back to the group, and sell it to the outside world, you have to wait for three years after leaving the company, of course, the price is the market price, and before that, you have to transfer the ownership of the public property in the name of the group to a private property.

It saves trouble by selling back to the group, you just need to hand over the keys, sign an agreement, and receive the money. It's cheaper than the market price, but it's more convenient and fast.

Well, it's a bit of a stretch again...... In short, there is such a villa, which is for my uncle and his family. But they basically don't have time to come and live, because my uncle is busy with work every day, and my aunt has to take care of my cousin's studies with all her might. My cousin is also in junior high school now, and it's time to start working hard, Zhou Fangyuan also specially spent money to send him to a middle school, and that little time every day is not enough to study, I can't wait for 25 hours a day, where is there time to run back and forth, and go to live in a villa?

So this villa has been in place for more than a year, my uncle and they have never come to live here, and the house is brand new.

Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, and finally arranged Uncle Long here.

A separate single-family villa shows his sincerity, as for his uncle's side, it's a big deal to wait for Uncle Long's lackeys and replace all of his uncle's house. The last time they came, it was when the villa had just been built, and they didn't even start to decorate, they didn't even know what it would look like after the renovation, and the space for maneuverability inside was too large.

And here, Zhou Fangyuan finally met Uncle Long for the first time.

As always, the big nose is a characteristic of Uncle Long.

He was born on Hong Kong Island on April 7, 1954, his ancestral home is Anhui, actor, director, action director, producer, screenwriter, singer, can be regarded as a changeable identity.

In 1971, he entered the film industry as a martial artist.

In 1978, he established the action style of kung fu comedy with the movies "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist".

In 1980, he directed and starred in the action film "Brother and Brother", which broke the box office record on Hong Kong Island. In 1986, he directed and acted in the action film "Police Story" and won the Best Film Award at the 5th Academy Awards. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1989. In 1992, he won the Best Actor Award at the 29th Golden Horse Awards for the police film "Police Story 3 Super Police". In 1993, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with the police film "Serious Crime Unit".

In 1995, he broke the box office record for a foreign language film in North America with the action film "Red Fan Zone", which broke the box office record for a foreign language film in North America. In 1998, he starred in the action film "Rush Hour" to establish his position in Hollywood. In 2001, he starred in the action film "Rush Hour 2", which set a box office record for a Hollywood movie starring a Chinese actor. In 2005, he won the Best Actor Award at the 25th Golden Rooster Awards for the police film "New Police Story", and won the Overseas Contribution Award for Chinese Films at the Shanghai International Film Festival in the same year.

In 2012, he was named the "20 Greatest Action Movie Stars of All Time" by The New York Times, and in the same year, he was named "Most Stunt Performer" by the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2016, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 89th Academy Awards. As of Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, he starred in more than 50 films with a cumulative global box office of more than 25 billion yuan, and won the annual box office champion on Hong Kong Island 7 times and the global box office champion for Chinese films 17 times.

In addition to his acting career, Uncle Long is also enthusiastic about public welfare. In 1988, he was awarded the world's top ten outstanding young people. In 2003, he was elected as one of the top ten people who moved China. In 2004, he served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In 2006, he was selected as one of the top ten philanthropic stars in the world by Forbes.

In fact, Zhou Fangyuan also knew that whether it was in his previous life or in this life, there have always been many people who are not very interested in Uncle Long.

I think he casually represents the Chinese people, why?

yes, why.

Look at a set of numbers, this is a set of numbers that Zhou Fangyuan has seen in his previous life.

Uncle Long has 60 million followers on Facebook, ranking 16th in the world, Uncle Long was selected by the New York Times as "No. 1 of the 20 greatest action movie stars of all time", and Forbes selected Uncle Long once ranked No. 2 in the world with $61 million.

Neither income nor fame is a pie falling from the sky.

In his previous life, Uncle Long made more than 200 films, including 9 Hollywood movies starring as a Chinese actor. However, what makes the world remember Uncle Long is not only the number of works, but the most important point is: he dares to work hard, really hard. Everything he won back from countless fans around the world. Many fans of Uncle Long have watched such a documentary - "Uncle Long's Stunts". Uncle Long appeared in the film to explain how he used special effects in many of his masterpieces, combined with his personal dexterity, to shoot the terrifying death action scenes on the screen. For example, all kinds of drilling under the car, the crazy jump in "Red Fan Zone", the roof of the car in "Police Story", crashing and jumping off the building, leaping and grabbing the hanging ladder......

A staff member asked Uncle Long, aren't you afraid of getting hurt? Uncle Long replied: I'm more afraid of deceiving the audience, this is an action movie, who will watch it if it's fake?

So for the sake of truth, he implemented his principle of "playing with life". In the movie "Young Master Long", Uncle Long wanted to drag the "enemy" down, but he really had an accident and fell from the stairs; in the movie "Police Story", after the bus ran wildly, he hit his head into the glass, and the skin and flesh were exposed, and when filming "Brother and Tiger", he fell from a tree and almost lost his life, which is also the closest Uncle Long came to death during the filming process.

In the face of these dangers, he chose to laugh right.

He chatted with Spielberg, and the other party asked, "How did you shoot these movements?" Uncle Long proudly said, "Run, Jump, Done." ”

A fan once designed a picture of "Uncle Long's whole body injured", and fans felt very sorry for him, saying that "Uncle Long's every bone has been fractured", although it is a bit exaggerated, but every time he shoots a scene, he must be covered with bruises. This doesn't mean that Uncle Long is not afraid, he is an ordinary person, he just dares to do something unusual.

When recording the reality show, Uncle Long mentioned more than once that he was very poor before, so he had an inexplicable good impression of everyone who worked the road. He also brought this feeling to the film. If Bruce Lee is an earth-shattering hero, then Uncle Long is a little hero who walks the streets. And his repeated attempts to save the day in the movie are also conveying to the audience the most simple and old-fashioned truth: a small person, very motivated, very serious, just like Uncle Long treats stunts and constantly tries to deduce his own bright future.

Many fans are obsessed with the "action details" of Uncle Long's movie: the use of props and the coherence of the action are perfectly coordinated, and every detail is so perfect and without a sense of disobedience. And when Uncle Long looked back on his action scenes in his early years, he was still not satisfied. He said, "In the past, we used to have goosebumps when I watched action movies, and now I have goosebumps, fights, kills, and beautiful movements, but now I am tired of watching them myself, because I didn't pay much attention to storytelling at that time." To promote Chinese kung fu to the world, you need a good story with good action. Uncle Long relied on this "unique" innovative spirit to constantly polish his action scenes. The more he goes to the back, the more he knows how to bundle "storytelling and action scenes" together to make action scenes more layered. This is probably the spirit of "designer" or "creative", never satisfied, constantly challenging oneself.

It cannot be said that he single-handedly pushed the culture of our country abroad, which is something that has been done by countless people over generations, but he is undoubtedly one of the most successful people in it.

So those who question Uncle Long are here to ask: What did you do?

Isn't it just a matter of typing on the keyboard?

No one is perfect, and Uncle Long does have many shortcomings, some of which are not very acceptable to ordinary people. But who doesn't have shortcomings? While facing up to the shortcomings, we must also face up to the advantages of others.

In addition to making movies, Uncle Long is also enthusiastic about charity and public welfare. In 1988, he set up a charitable foundation on Hong Kong Island, which annually donates scholarships to performing arts students and supports the underprivileged. In 2004, Uncle Long also launched the "Dragon Heart" project, helping to build more than 20 schools in remote areas across the country.

As early as 1986, Uncle Long was selected as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons on Hong Kong Island. In 1988, Uncle Long was awarded the World Outstanding Young Chinese by the "Junior Chamber International". In 1989, he was awarded the MBE on Hong Kong Island, and in 1990, the French government awarded him the Insignes de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. In addition, he was conferred the degree of Doctor of Social Sciences, honoris causa, by Island Baptist University in Hong Kong in 1996, and was subsequently conferred honorary doctorates on him by many prestigious colleges.

At the 8th Academy Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, Uncle Long not only thanked his family and fans, but also expressed his pride in his identity as a Hong Kong Island and a Chinese. Before Uncle Long, there were only three Asian filmmakers who won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement: Satyajit Rey, the founder of Indian cinema, Akira Kurosawa, and Hayao Miyazaki, a Japanese animation director. After winning the award, Uncle Long joked, "I'm still so young, with your support, I can continue to jump off buildings, trains, and planes." ”

Not to mention anything else, just because of his spirit, he can afford the title of "Chinese representative", and those voices who question him become more and more ridiculous.

Zhou Fangyuan has always been a fan of Uncle Long, of course, he is also a fan of Uncle Lian Jie, although the latter's contribution to cultural promotion is not as good as the former, but it is also very good, and he has also laid a world in Hollywood. And Uncle Long, it can be called Bruce Lee's second, the former Bruce Lee let foreigners know Bruce Lee, and now Uncle Long also lets foreigners know Jack Chen, know Chinese kung fu, and know a lot of Chinese culture, this is the credit, this is the reason why they are worthy of the admiration of others.
