Xiexiepanxi contact for a long time, and relying on willpower to urge us to a group of super molecules do not fly mine done .... thank you Lei Xiaoyu general, has always accompanied me in the first line of battle.
CHEN: I did not kill death of me, make me stronger
Speaking for the first time arrived in Hong Kong Edison Chen will arm elevation, heavy fall, split the air: off the screen, my whole life did not have that feeling. you are flying into the city, instead of flying over the city. the airport to the city center, your plane passing high buildings, inserted into the city center, as if as a direct fall . sense. The right of 30-year-old youth, draw a conclusion too early, but that dozens of Hong Kong films, the first is sufficient to constitute a wonderful script mm
his face clear, small and thin, able-bodied. his mouth revealed own expression, the eyes contain the desire and stubbornness. he was not born, my father was absent. In order to find his father, he alone that do not belong to his city, will there be a writer. he found the money, deception, sarcasm, and subtle gap between father and son with the competition. He also found the time being to replace his father's old drivers, if grew up surrounded by women, understanding women, and they are close to, but because of lack of trust will abandon them. He again rushed into the fate of the mud pond, was wrestled to the inside, wallow in the mud: 9-year-old looking for lost family, 13 year-old desperate to give up, obsessed with Hip-Hop, want to be gangsters; 19-year-old caught the entertainment that straw in an attempt to stop the , that any person will not be taken away, 28-year-old caught in the scandal Yan Zhao.
ten years he was the fate of three key words can be summed up: his father, Hip-Hop, entertainment, women, generally known by his fate of the tease, why me. but a blink of an eye, he would challenge as the most precious thing, The only identification is derived from cigarette butts and two faintly glowing eyes, the darkness swallowed the rest. He is like a fire in the embers, like a piece of carbon through burning far, if touch it, it and burn.
why the world does not like Edison Chen? his friends may not be able to provide the best answer. Majie Ke, an American living in Hong Kong, Edison nearly 20 years knowledge, their cooperation is the oldest street television the whole person, Edison served as Moderator, brother ; why people do not like Edison Chen? Well, perhaps because of his temper too. Wong blocked, the Edison own words, the introduction of Hip-Hop album, frozen singer will cry, run away, but I did not give up ignore the irony is my gossip magazines Hi Nuxingyuse enough to offend many people.
but Edison did not understand: I lovemaking applause. Hong Kong reporters, all put on sort of, I tell the truth, I was the only one telling the truth, they say I'm a bad person? Oh wow! kill time by shopping the international metropolis, skyscrapers surprisingly dense, English billboards everywhere, shining above, wealthy, violent death at home in Wong Tai Sin offended, do not listen to half of feng shui master in charge if the building was owned by friends hh double-colonial power that we thought it wholesale Westernization, who wants to keep it firmly Chinese tradition, the colonial forces, and even more iron to help it resist Another bowl of force as if airborne .9 years old here in Edison, even though he was as close to the Qingqie Hong Kong's girlfriend, he does not belong here, he is a We sat in the lobby of Grand Hyatt Hong Kong in the bar. is here, Edison took his first film, At that time he was shy, Sentimental, mercy. He Let's talk about this story, there are many other stories, hands waving in the air, showing scorn, surprise or anger expression, Shibu Chang also play ;, as if telling a also known as He used another language to express themselves more smoothly, while the conversion of this language seems to lead him into a secret little world, where he felt safe, and more sincere.

No, no, not me, you know, I am Hip-Hop, I'm cool, that is soil, not me. Then I returned in 1999 Hong Kong, already know that money must be earned, I love music, I want to buy shoes, I need more money. At that time there is an advertisement, I seized the opportunity, but also less fortunate, is the dawn of a director. is surprisingly, the total hit dawn.

He came over and said, our next scene, try to play what is now optimistic about the bad? I said, Come. played twice, and he said you are not artists, you're not serious. I said I have to play very seriously That scene, ah, he said, as your first day with the next day, if the good, the first time you are OK, do not make another of the Well.
we have so much time, and he told me that he went from TVB making a bad movie, and then some people think he can act, to become today's leader. He taught me a very important thing, then acting is two things. I have already read the book two theories, that have a If I said I love you, you hit me, I would cry. I already had. but play at least two people, I can not mind their own interests, we must cooperate. acting is not Action, Action, but the Action , Reaction. so he taught me a lot.
GQ: Andrew Lau do?
CHEN: There is a story. I shot, Since that very seriously. Andrew Lau said to me: : I always feel, I went to the site, you should be very happy ah ha ha ha, I have come. I have never thought that I shot that scene today is very good, I should be happy, ah, why I do not think so ? Andrew Lau hit me, I know I'm not ready for my role seriously, not really to play. I hope I can do a better artist, at that time, I had entered the entertainment business for six years.
GQ: This kinds of contests the spirit of children under the Lion Rock pretty, pretty, . because I think its really hard the past few years, and then if you think Andy efforts, and I admire him, but I am even more than he will have to work really, really.
GQ: You were in Hollywood movies Do you think with the Hong Kong entertainment industry What is the difference?
CHEN: In the U.S. they have a union, it is more comfortable and safer. Then how do you say? I did not say my boss is not good, or bad, I just think the rules of the game in question. In Hollywood, if I shoot the film, 1 month, I will get a check; If HBO broadcast the film, I had the money thing; sell DVD, I had the money thing. In Hong Kong, I took the my job well, you know what I mean? because if I do, I check back there will be many, many. The biggest difference is here.
GQ: that the media do?
CHEN: They do not asked silly questions. those reporters really love movies, you really want to know how to prepare for the role. Hong Kong reporters, you told them that they can not write, oh, oh, so much for it? finished. Oh, you how about that girl?
to say, I say you are a reporter, not you to ask me? then they say you do not say? I said, this time something to say ah, this time I want to tell you, I learned how to write Chinese song, and I did not leave the studio for six days, I finally can do what you want music, I am very happy ah. They said, well, then you're with the girl hh? I thought, what? you always say that I am is a foreigner, and that the foreigner can write Chinese, but you asked me and the relationship between the girl?
GQ: You look like a long pair of Chinese people, would like to become a true Hollywood star, but also quite hard. < br> Edison Chen: Yes, ah, I know ah. my biggest dream in life is to have a worldwide impact, and impact on Hong Kong and even the whole China. If I simply just want to get into Hollywood, making point of the film, make some money , a name, I will shoot many, many martial arts films, because the Chinese martial arts films most likely to beat the red, the United States ah mm mm Oh, oh. I do not want to shoot, I'm not playing star, I'm an actor, I want speech, will be someone to follow my way, so that I can change the entire culture.
GQ: change the culture?
CHEN: because this is my home, Hong Kong is my home, my fellow Chinese people. Some people in the United States asked me, what are you? I said the Chinese people. Then why do you say such good English. I was born in Canada. Well, you is Canadian. No, I am Chinese. Do you understand me does that mean? So last year, it happened, I also feel very popular with injuries, because I can not go back to my home. My family said to me, you have to go. So, if I can dream come true, so I can do, the next Edison, you can make a lot of money, can be very happy to establish trade unions, can make a lot of people have brought the check. This is not for myself, for the next era. I really think so.
GQ: Hi there good!
CHEN: I told you before, I finished the , how could so stupid rules and laws. I have to change it. the best way to change it, is to first become known.
GQ: usually do not like to encounter a situation, there are two solutions, One is to change this situation, and the other is to change yourself, change this situation is clearly more difficult to ah.
CHEN: I can not change. I'm up every day that they will look in the mirror, I am my own it? Fortunately, or. I did not become a pop singer, I was myself; I love money, really love, but I must keep my own, and not to make money into other people. like my father before with I said, you earn twenty million this year, if you like Nicholas, ah, ah Leehom singing those songs, you can make money this year, 4 million ah! However, I do not care, I care about, this is me, I was really Edison.
but I do my own, the Hong Kong Journalists do not like. as if we are all artists, go to a premiere, after reading the film we all think that sucks, go home separately. and a reporter ask you, how about the movie ah? you A: Very good to see ah, I'll give 100 points! OK, journalists ask me, I say: bad film! reporter said: you too bad! So I told the press in Hong Kong , often have tense relations. But I do not understand why you do not like me. you should like me to do my own ah! If I were a reporter, I met a person like me, I would lovemaking applause. Hong Kong journalists, all put on sort of, I tell the truth, I was the only one telling the truth, they say I'm a bad person? Oh wow!
? when I learned a lot from Hong Kong, where it happened, I can not imagine how understand why I am a bad person, I learned nothing. People always say that Edison Edison Edison Edison, Edison Chen Edison Chen Edison Chen Edison Chen Edison Chen, Edison Chen is the worst. so weird. Hong Kong magazine, said the boy is the most cheap Edison. But I turn to my own situation, last year I lost a lot of money! I even left my house! I'm the one bad?! (excited) I do not understand now, I learn anything.
so I left Hong Kong, left the entertainment circle, I find many things to learn. do individuals, to be a common man, nice. can enjoy the fun of living in a very small, not greedy, not arrogant. my house before the workers, I always say, ironing for me, ah, three minutes, you help me hot, three minutes back, not yet hot good friends ah ah ah Rights Rights roared. This one and a half, I have at home, ironing, can not be hot a good three minutes, originally I was a bad person. However, ironing, ah well, a lot of fun, really be a person, not what star. If not that, I will become a 35-year-old megalomaniac, do not know what the outside in, do not know how to live. I am glad to have the opportunity to think about what is Life, what is life.
in the United States to the United States 7-11 I like to buy things, I loved my family at home finishing, I do not know why? I did not like before. I wonder why I like these? Because This is life. I did an artist, often in a shed, the agents always say, do not people see that, go home, can not play, ah, you do not eat together with the other girls ah. That I can do it in the end?
that year, I learned who my true friends, who are my fake friends. learn to be a person hh fact, more simple.'ve learned, money is not everything, I Boyd still love, but money is not everything. I have been in a month you can use 100 million, and I in the United States, tens of thousands of pieces, I am happier. Why is this so? I spend less, I was more happy? Why? I've learned not so ah. I think again in life, how my life went in the end? is money makes me happy? still love makes me happy? love makes me happy. all the love, family love, lover of love, brotherly love, the love between a stranger and stranger.
GQ: the whole thing, you most regret what?
Edison: the computer Na Quxiu. This is my life so much, the most regret thing.
GQ: After you become a Christian?
CHEN: Actually, that happened, I have read the Edison said that because of this become a Christian, is not the case. I should have 5-6 years of age in Canada, I was already a Christian, and I all the schools are religious schools, along with mother, sister and every weekend go to church, pray every day. Maybe I temporarily lost contact with God, because I need it, then I found it.
GQ: those days, how do you against over?
CHEN: I had a very difficult time. the most difficult times, Valentine's Day in 2008. At that time I did not come back to do a press conference in Hong Kong. because I was a foreigner, so those pictures for me, the beginning when is OH SHIT (slight surprise) and not OH SHIT!! (shocked). I do not know the extent of the serious, the story is January 28 the first photo came out, I had set the January 30 ticket back to Vancouver, the New Year together with her mother, so there find many people say that when I was intentionally walked, no, an artist that I can not go two days later, I had six months ago I told my broker that I January 30 to go to Vancouver. and then I went to Boston to live together with my girlfriend. The most difficult is that, I do not know what happened, I can not play, I can not eat something, I do have not, I did not leave the house two or three weeks. I have no direction. I do not know to what extent it will develop. There are a few photos tomorrow, ah, I do not know, I do not want to know. I do not want to wake up, I just want to sleep.
GQ: Have you thought about commit suicide?
Edison Chen: I do not know at that time what the meaning of life in the end. I have not really thought about committing suicide, I never thought I was not suicidal personality But I do not understand why? Why me? what I really do heinous things? I think now, my life's greatest asset is not mad, not suicide. If other people like me encountered so much SHIT, already resigned, mad, or commit suicide ...
