Zhou Xun: Think about yourself after ten years

Zhou Xun: Think about yourself after ten years

Before I was 18, I was a person who didn't know what I wanted. At that time, I sang and danced with my classmates at the Zhejiang Art School every day. Occasionally a director came to me to shoot, I will be very excited to shoot, no matter how small the role. If there is no teacher talking to me, then perhaps until today, no one knows who Zhou Xun is.
That was the day of May 1993. Teacher Zhao, who taught me the professional class, suddenly talked to me: "Zhou Xun, can you tell me, what are your plans for the future?" I stopped. I don't understand how the teacher suddenly asked me such a serious question, and I don't know how to answer it. The teacher asked me: "Are you satisfied with your life now?" I shook my head. The teacher smiled: "If you are not satisfied, you will be saved. You think about it now, what will you look like in ten years?"
The teacher's voice is very light, but it falls into my heart but becomes very heavy. My mind suddenly began to rise. Silence for a long time, I looked at the teacher's eyes, and suddenly said very firmly: "I hope that after ten years, I will become the best actress, and I can release a music album of my own."
The teacher asked me: "Are you sure?"
I slowly bit my lip and replied: "Yes", and it took a long sound.
The teacher went on to say, "Well, since you are sure, we will count this goal back. Ten years later, you are 28 years old. At that time, you are a big red star and a special album."
"Then when you are 27 years old, in addition to taking pictures of various directors, you must have a complete musical piece that you can listen to, and not to many, record companies."
"At the age of 25, you will continue to learn and think about your career in performing arts. In addition, there must be great works in music to start recording."
"At the age of 23, you must receive a variety of training and training, both musically and physically."
"At the age of 20, I will start composing and writing. I have to take a bigger role in acting."
The teacher’s words were easy, but I felt a horror. Pushing it down like this, I should immediately start preparing for my ideals, but I don’t know anything now, I have never thought about it, and I still feel complacent about the role of a little girl. I feel that there is a strong pressure that suddenly hits me.
The teacher smiled calmly and said: "Zhou Xun, you are a good seed, but you are lacking in planning, sloppy and chaotic. I hope that when you are free, think about yourself after ten years. Life, what kind of goals to achieve. If you have set goals, then I hope you will start from now."
One year later, I graduated from the art school. The teacher’s words have been engraved in my heart since that day: think about myself ten years later. Yes, when I realized that this was a problem, I found that I was awakened by the whole person.
After graduating from school, I was busy taking pictures of various TV dramas. I always remember that I will be the most successful star after ten years, so I began to carefully screen the characters. Later, I took "Flower at the time" and took the "Da Ming Gong Ci". I gradually accepted it and slowly tasted the joy of success.
In April 2003, it happened to be the tenth anniversary of the teacher talking to me. I don't know if this is accidental or inevitable. I actually have my own first album, "Summer."
In fact, you are just like me. If you can ask yourself in time: "What will happen after ten years?" You will find that your life will change without knowing it. Always thinking about yourself ten years later, you will move closer and closer to your dreams.
