Brigitte Lin is expected to make a comeback: I hope it will reduce my regret.

Feature: Picture Channel


Lin Qingxia now knows how to be true to herself.



In an interview, Lin Qingxia emphasized that she had never said that she would retire from the movie, and if she had the opportunity, she would not reject "playing again".


  China News Service, October 6, Lin Qingxia attended the press conference of the "Eastern Heretic Western Poison: The Ultimate Edition" New York Film Festival. It seems that Wong Kar-wai’s encouragement and Jay Chou’s wish made Lin Qingxia, who faded out of marriage after 100 films, make a comeback. She said: "If there is really a 101st film, I hope it will reduce my regret in the film industry."


  According to Taiwan’s "United Daily News", from the movie to life, the shiny diamond earrings are reflected in Lin Qingxia’s almost pink face, exuding a splendor that can withstand the experience of time and is more real.


  Q: Jay Chou’s desire to film with you has become a major event.


  A: I admire Jay Chou very much. "The secret that can’t be said." I watched it twice. The first time I came in 15 minutes late. Later, my friends and I watched it for the second time. I think the movie uses music as the background, like playing the piano. There are many different levels. Jay Chou is a director for the first time. It is very touching and impressive to me. But I don’t know what he said or what he thought. I haven’t seen his script yet. There is no contact between the two sides. Everything has not been planned.


  If you really impress me, there will be 101.


  Q: This time around, everyone must be concerned about whether you will really make a comeback?


  A. I never said anything about quitting the movie. Before, the day before Tony Leung and Carina Lau’s wedding, Wong Kar-wai held me for an hour, talked about Tsui Hark for the first half hour, and then said to me: "You are a star, a fact that cannot be changed in a lifetime. 100 movies are just a comma in your life, not a period." The next day, I attended the wedding and saw so many good friends. Everyone had a great time as they used to when they were filming, which gave me the idea of "having a chance to play again in the future."


  It’s good to ask me to do things that I like and enjoy within the scope of my ability, but without good characters and people I know well, I can’t come out again. I think I will fade out at an appropriate time. If there is a 101, in addition to really touching me, I also hope that it can be "Regrets have decreased, thankfully increased".


  Q: Do you still have any regrets?


  A. Not only do I have regrets, but I also have little confidence. Just like I never felt particularly beautiful. If I became a star, it was because the audience liked me and kept me filming all the way. But in the past, it was my mother and I who took care of everything, and there was no agent to help me choose the script. I always thought that I was not really recognized as the representative work of an actor, even if I had won the Asian Queen ("Eight Hundred Heroes"), the Golden Horse Queen ("Rolling Red Dust"), and "Outside the Window", "Golden Jade Good Fate Dream of Red Mansions", "The Invincible East", "Eastern Heretic Western Poison", but in 100 movies, I can’t find a work that "is it". It is my regret.


  Do what you want, it feels like coming back


  Q: What roles might impress you? Who would like to collaborate with?


  A. Strictly speaking, I have never acted in a historical film, and the only "Dream of Red Mansions" is still a literary adaptation, but I imagine a historical figure like Wu Zetian might be very interesting. Time is not forgiving, and I am no longer young. How many characters in the Chinese film industry are suitable for my age? If it is Hollywood, like Mellie Streep in "Mamma Mia", I think I am willing to try. As for who I want to work with, for example, someone like Zhang Shuping (a well-known art designer), with him by my side, I can rest assured of everything.


  Q: As your daughter grows older, does it give you a better chance to do something you want to do?


  A. My husband has always supported me in doing what I love, but in the past, my parents were still there. In addition to taking care of my own family, I had to worry about my parents’ health. Now that my parents are gone and my children are growing up, I have more opportunities to do what I want. For example, this time I came to New York with Amy (friend actress Tao Minming, wife of movie star Dillon). In addition to participating in movie activities, we went shopping on Fifth Avenue, Shopping, and watching the musical "Hairspray Star Dream". The freedom I had when I came to New York to wear my pajamas and go to Central Park to watch the parade many years ago felt like I was back.


  Happiness is cultivation, and there are many internal changes


  Q: What is true happiness for you now?


  (After thinking about it for a while) A: Do whatever you want, don’t force or ask for extravagantly. In the past, I was prone to nervousness, which made everyone around me nervous. Later, I reviewed why I did that kind of "harming others but not self-interest" thing, and slowly learned to ease down and make myself happy. It is not innate, but cultivation. Before marriage, because of filming, I couldn’t be myself, thinking that I could finally be an ordinary person after marriage, but the appearance of paparazzi in Hong Kong affected my well-being, disturbed my family, and made me feel stressed. Later, my master taught me to try to understand, and I was really able to let go and not care, and I was happy.


  Q: See you in 14 years. You look the same on the outside, but you’ve changed a lot on the inside.


  Answer: Ah, thank you, in fact, there are some. After I didn’t make a film, I started to write things. Late at night, I wrote about some of my past events. I found that I couldn’t accept the director’s deletion of my scenes at that time. But now I understand that the director’s camera and cutter are like a writer’s pen. You must throw away the bad ones and keep the good ones. In the past, I was too eager for the good, and I wanted everything to be perfect. I often asked, "It will be better if I do it again," but many things could not and did not need to be done again.


  Now I will ask for truth, kindness, and beauty is another matter. Before, I was hesitant to stand up, worried about whether I would say the wrong thing and whether the photos I took would look fat. Later, I felt that why should I think so much? I always wanted to be my true self.
