I like Venus very much, frank, direct, her values are very clear, and can even be said to be a mentor for young people, people in the workplace, a very good guide, as my boss said to me this way, he thinks that I don't have a parent, I don't have a husband, so there is no one to discipline and bind, in fact, the one who manages himself is always himself, the other people's words and opinions are references, the one who makes the decisions and choices is himself.
For the word mentor, you can look for a real mentor, or you can borrow some ideas and words as a spiritual mentor.
Jin Xing is definitely not my mentor, but in some ways, she can be said to be a mentor
The following is from a recent interview with her, which I do miss since the show went off the air
Jin Xing answered the question with sincerity and directness - sincerity refers to the level of attitude, and the viewpoint itself is a matter of opinion. opinion itself, it's a matter of opinion. Basically, she is open to all questions, even if some of them may be quite sensitive or even harsh.
Invited to Oxford, this time as an artistFrankly, I was a bit surprised to see Venus as a guest speaker in Oxford's China Development Forum materials. She appeared on the art panel, talking about the contradiction between business and art, China's cultural export, the responsibility of artistic creation, topics that actually suited her very well.
On the same panel was Xu Bing, one of the world's leading artists.
This was a bit of a surprise because, like some, I'm probably used to the side of Venus that has gained her great secular popularity: the sharp-tongued variety show host.
Her original identity as a dancer, a pioneer of modern dance in China, has a much weaker presence in the public consciousness.
But in Venus's own self-confirmation and prioritization of values, she has always prioritized dance and the stage. She's one of those people who naturally refers to herself as a "dancer" in conversation, and has no intention of being modest about her professional accomplishments.
Understandably, her confidence and confidence in the size of a variety of awards and recognition, there is a very high gold Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of France **** and State .
She was 39 that year.
So if Venus is asked to make a trade-off between a multi-million dollar revenue TV show offer and a several hundred thousand dollar stage offer, she says she never hesitates to choose the stage.
This value ordering is fully reflected in her time allocation, Monday through Friday, she is working in the dance company. Two to three hours in the morning is her practicing time, and in the afternoon is her choreography time.
Probably only an hour or two in the middle of the day was reserved for planning sessions for her TV show. She would have the TV show crew come to the dance company for meetings without delaying her practicing. When she tapes a program, she basically schedules it for the weekend and stays out of Shanghai - something she also does to ensure that her family is a priority.
"The stage is my root," she said. "She knows where she's coming from and doesn't presuppose where she's going, but because she has a buttress, she's also confident that she'll never go off the rails.
Across the forty not confused to now fifty know the fate of the current Venus to my feeling is, three views of the self-contained system, in and out of the loss has been ordered, live free, understand, and vitality is exceptionally vigorous. This is my favorite thing about her.
How to have enviable vitality, She has two secret recipesOne of the most important signs of vitality is infectiousness. Venus certainly has the gift. The first thing that you need to do is to get your hands dirty. Artists either use their works to infect people, or they live their lives as an infectious piece of work. The first time I saw this, I was able to see it in my own eyes, and I was able to see it in my own eyes.
People with androgynous temperament, often have the talent and wizardry. Not to mention that Venus is truly androgynous.
Speaking of androgynous, I have directly asked her, now there is no physical discomfort, she said there is absolutely no, and other women's biggest difference is that there is no uterus, do not come to the aunt. The most important thing is that you can't get a good deal of money from the company.
Later, because some readers said they were curious about whether she still needed to rely on medication to maintain estrogen levels, I also had the courage to ask her in WeChat. I was afraid that people would think I was being abrupt and rude, and I specifically said that if you didn't want to answer the question, you could not reply.
The result was that she answered it with a big smile, without any discomfort: she had stopped taking her medication a long time ago. She told me that she had only taken the medication for a short period of time just after the surgery, and that since then she had relied on her own thoughts and willpower to keep her body healthy and balanced.
Yes, it's amazing to say that Venus' skin texture and energy levels are so good that I'm envious of them, with her eyes bright and her skin translucent. You know, she was facing such a close, face-to-face interview. Of course she's wearing makeup, but wrinkles and fatigue can't be covered up with the perfect foundation.
At the end of the two-hour forum, she was interviewed for more than an hour without lunch, and her voice was so penetrating that she spoke from beginning to end, without the slightest sign of fatigue, and always sat with a straight back. No wonder her colleagues in the dance troupe would say that her energy is five or six people.
I couldn't help but ask her the secret to her "youthfulness", and she said she never did any beauty treatments, and that the secret was sleep and exercise, plus a little bit of proper, clean skin care.
She said she has a skill, that is, even if there is a big thing, can be put aside first, head to sleep, sleep six and a half hours a day. Because of this ability to set up her own "mute", her sleep quality is very good.
I asked her if she had a sense of age crisis and anxiety, and she replied, "Not at all." "I have two birthdays a year, the day I was born, and the day I have my surgery, which is the day of the Ching Ming Festival every year! " She laughed very bashfully, and said bluntly that the most important thing to nourish your body is to have a good mindset and live each day well. This state of mind, about as Nietzsche said: "Every day that does not dance, is a failure of life."
And by insisting on practicing for two to three hours a day, so full of exercise, her whole body's qi and blood are flowing, and her body is naturally better. She says that her muscle mass is probably still at the same level as it was in her thirties.
The strength of a person's vitality actually depends not only on innate genes, but also combines the results of acquired cultivation.
Freedom is strength, her freedom is what she earnedMany people say they especially like Venus, and the most high-frequency answer is: true, brave. In fact, these two qualities themselves are interconnected.
The prerequisite for a person to be brave is to be true, including being true to others, and even more true to oneself, to be able to face oneself honestly, to accept oneself, and then, to make a choice to respect one's own heart, to insist on one's own. This is called bravery.
But if there is not enough bravery, it is difficult to be real. Not everyone has the courage to face a real self. Especially, when this real self may be very "other", strong stimulus to the surrounding environment, a big challenge.
But Venus basically did both. Her authenticity and bravery won her not only fans, but more importantly, a broad freedom in her own life. 28 years old, choosing her own gender again, and having the freedom to choose her own gender, was the first milestone in Venus's road to freedom.
Another way to express "freedom" is to say "the power to choose". When a person earns a different degree of freedom for himself, in the final analysis, it is only the strength to win different interfaces for himself.
Freedom is strength.
To be able to choose a gender, in addition to the economic strength to undertake the execution of the operation, there must also be a strong self-knowledge of the strength of the physical and social consequences of the mental and psychological strength to bear - not to mention that the matter of the society at that time caused by the non-sense, she was in the postoperative period because of the medical malpractice, the left calf nearly paralyzed, hard to rely on the reanimation of the left leg. Her left calf was nearly paralyzed due to a medical accident after the surgery, and she was able to recover it through rehabilitation. She saved not only her health, but also her artistic life.
Of course, her freedom to tour the world was due to her artistic prowess
Her ability to communicate freely with international friends and partners was due to her multilingualism. When I interviewed her at Oxford University, I was amazed by her talent for learning languages. She speaks English fluently, has a rich vocabulary, and in the five or six minutes I heard, there were very few grammatical errors - you really shouldn't assume that someone who has spent years in an English-speaking country will necessarily be able to speak fluent English.
Venus speaks Italian and French, in addition to fluent English. To communicate with her mother, she speaks Korean, or Hangul. She said that all her languages were not learned from books, but acquired in her actual interaction with people, and that her plain favorite thing is to communicate with people.
Also, Venus was 21 when she first studied in the U.S. She didn't formally learn English at age 11 when she entered the Shenyang Military Advancement Song and Dance Troupe, and then the dance department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art. Through this way of learning, to obtain such an accurate language specification, can be said to be very rare.
In addition to the above, Venus also has a wealth of freedom. What is wealth freedom? My understanding is that there is no longer a need to sell your labor time in order to obtain money, you pay time to do things, in order to go beyond the pursuit of money, such as happiness, such as the realization of the meaning of life. This depends not only on one's economic power itself, but also on your attitude and perception of the value of life and money. There are a lot of people who are very rich and not free of wealth.
Venus's economic strength allows her to spend more than 3 million dollars a year to rent a presidential suite at the Grand Hotel in downtown Shanghai as her home, and more than "can afford to pay 3 million dollars a year rent," more reflective of her freedom of wealth, is her attitude.
"I don't care if I own a house, I care more about my time and the quality of my life. Houses have a price, but my TIME and LIFE QUALITY are priceless."
So, to be able to give up millions of TV program offers to do hundreds of thousands of stage performances, behind the bottom is also a kind of wealth freedom, including economic strength, but also includes the perception of the value of wealth.
Giving up is also a kind of ability, and freedom is not only embodied through "getting", but also through "giving up".
This is the first time I've ever seen a person with a green card who was married to a woman in the United States, and I think it's a good idea to give it up and go back to China.
Strength is a big game, and it's a big deal. And the strength of the human multidimensional, solid, various strengths are also able to complement each other. For example, in front of the reality, brave and true, in fact, are considered fragile, no other hard strength, I'm afraid I can't protect.
So, Venus can enjoy a relatively large scale of freedom of expression - do not condescend to themselves, not afraid to offend people, straight, sharp, or because there are other strengths or freedom to do the bottom.
From freedom of gender, to freedom of language, freedom of movement, freedom of wealth, and freedom of opinion, Venus is always striving to maximize the space of freedom for herself.
Responding to the rumors of her closure, New Programs Coming Soon
There is no such thing as absolute freedom in this world, and we can only earn our own capital to trade with reality, and exchange the most possible free space for ourselves.
Jin Xing's was not willing to cover up for the program that was taken off the air.
Venus is also often outspoken on her show.
Jin Xing's program was taken off the air, starting with "Chinese Blind Date".
" Some people say that this program is not the right values, but we show is actually a real social hundred, that are living social reality, do we want to pretend that we can not see? I put the reality out, cause the audience a variety of discussions, right or wrong, left to the audience to distinguish and argue, this is the value of this program, but unfortunately there are individual leaders can not see this layer."
Now, the program was stopped, Zhang Guoli version of "China's new blind date" was launched.
And then after that, the highly influential "Venus Show" was stopped, raising the crowd in an uproar.
It didn't take long for Tonight at the Paradise Gate to change its name after its first season, with Venus being replaced. The rumor mill went wild, "Venus was shut down."
Venus denied the rumors of "being blocked", "off the air is the fact that the blocking is purely speculative and chaotic rumors, there are people who do not want you to be blocked rumors to sit." She said so far there is no red-topped document that says that Venus can not appear on stage, the program can not be aired.
"I was even asked to be a lecturer at the host training course done by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television." She said former Vice Premier Wu Yi also told her how much she liked her program and complimented her on how well she grasped the bottom line.
" I know very well how to speak good Chinese."
This time, she chose to work with an online platform instead of TV. The online platform is very influential now, and she wants to make some new attempts. As for the program's topic direction, it will still be social.
She said, from another point of view, the suspension of broadcasting, in fact, is also a good thing, is a buffer, so that everyone has the opportunity to adjust under the re-do some thinking.
In addition to the original program's amount of revamping to promote, her another brand new square dance program, is also about to be launched in a domestic TV platform, creative planning is her own:
" Through the national hit square dance to understand people, show the story of life in all its forms. I am a dancer, so I am too suitable for the topic of square dance; on the subject of chatting with ordinary people, there is no host in China more suitable than me.
She said that the audience's sense of trust in her is her greatest value. Truthfulness and sincerity are her greatest strengths as a host.
Here are some selected transcripts from the interview.
1 Talking about value sort ofMy origins and roots are the stage. in 2017, I danced over 70 shows a ****. Almost every weekend was on stage. Fridays are stand-up comedy, Saturdays are dance.
It's great that I'm making a big TV impact, so I can come in and promote dance; the money I make nourishes my dance company, and of course now Venus Dance Company is doing so well commercially that it's completely self-sufficient. At this point, I'm internally balanced and mentally healthy. I have a bottom line.
But my days are more important than my career. I get up at 6:30 a.m., then fluff up in the kitchen and watch Hans make breakfast, which he does while I keep him company, and then I go to work at the dance company after nine. Two hours of practicing every morning, and the afternoon is for choreography.
After work, home for dinner. Especially when the kids are around, I am sure to eat both breakfast and dinner with the kids, because you can't make it up later if you miss it. Usually at night when the kids are in bed, after 9:00 to 11:00, friends will come over to the house to talk together, and then go to bed at 11 to 12 on time.
2 Talking about money
I didn't do any commercial endorsement, do endorsement is to be responsible, this money, I don't earn. Money running after you is the realm, not you running after the money. I am chasing things. So, my husband often applauds me and says you're good, and you can still turn down money.
Spending money is an art. When I'm not making a big name for myself, I'm not bad. I don't buy houses or cars, and when I don't have kids, I take a cab.
I always keep a distance between me and capital, if capital kidnaps my freedom, I don't want it. Because freedom is priceless.
3 Talking about success
It's a capital-kidnapping society, it's all about money. The media are advocating that everyone should be the boss, everyone should start a business, when the CEO, I think to adjust, I just want to be an ordinary employee, living an ordinary life is not OK? Why, is it a failure not to be a boss, an actor not to be a star? What a joke! You go to encourage college students to start their own business, he has not yet been exposed to society, create what business ah?
I used to be very eager to succeed, and then I realized, you have to be patient. And there is no fixed standard for success. Your success has nothing to do with others.
I've been telling myself since I was a kid that I don't want to be a starving artist in the future, and I've set a standard for myself that, after 36 years old, I'll be Venusian only in first class. But this standard is set by myself, not by society. I set a standard and I have to work on it. I have a lot of dreams, but I'm not a fantasist, I make the dreams come true.
My children, when they were small, followed me, holding together to do business class, but a first grade, let them obediently go to sit in the economy class. The kids asked me why, and I said, "Mommy sat up from the back, and you're sitting up from there now. In the future, if you want to sit in the front, you have to earn it.
4 Talking about gender relations
You have to put aside gender at work.
Emotionally, being in a relationship is still different from starting a family, so choose clearly. When deciding to live together, marriage is about knowing how to show weakness. Marriage is the result of compromise and tolerance.
Two people together can not and do not have to force the same, life is 360 degrees, the basis of similar views, can have 180 degrees of overlap, it has been very good, the rest of the 180 degrees, you can find from friends, coworkers, why do you want more than 200 degrees, more than 300 degrees of overlap? I can't be too greedy.
No one is perfect, you have to allow yourself to have defects, allow each other to have defects.
The most important thing in forming a family is not similarity, but complementarity. Similar, you go to be friends, do businesspartner.
My husband and I are very complementary. I am pioneering and bold, my husband is cautious and SOFT, those I don't have. Whenever I get angry with my kids, he glares and I step aside.
Our kids would say, our mom is the law, it's so awesome, dad is humane. (Laughs)
Equality between men and women is not reflected in each other's so-called door-to-door relationship. On the economic strength, Hans can not compare with me, say social expansion ability, he can not compare with me, his wife is also too capable, like a fish out of water, but this is not equal no problem ah, people introduced that this is Venus's Mr., he has no problem, I have no problem. I'm not going to say, why don't you work hard enough? This shows that you are not confident enough ah, you if you follow the traditional point of view, feel that you must be dependent on a man to have value, or you feel that your man is stronger than you, in order to prove your value, then this is your problem.
The most important thing for a man is a sense of responsibility, respect for people, which also includes respect for women, especially for women who will step back and let go a bit, and be cultured and cultivated. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products in the world.
I told my kids, "Why I love your dad so much is because of his taste and patience. And to tolerate and understand a woman of my character. Why I won't cheat, because this man is too good, the cost of cheating is too high, forget it! (Laughter)
On August 18th of this year, we're going to have a wedding, in Italy, in the presence of our children, relatives and friends. I think it will be a very benign influence on the children.
5 talk about the future
The future? Let's go with the flow. I never thought I'd be a presenter before.
I'm an actor, and as long as I'm given a stage and the curtain goes up, I'll deliever my best performance.
I never leave the stage.
People have their own destiny. It's a limitation, but it can also be exactly the key to your own fulfillment.
This is my favorite Venus, say she is Buddhist, she has requirements, say she goes with the flow, but it is true that she is in the good times, more people accept her, like her, and the most important thing is that she is the strength of the people who speak, and to speak the truth means that you need to be more powerful than others, and work harder, so it's also a very good example for me to follow, go for it!
