To All My Dear Fans!

Today my assistant told me that over 500,000 people have already viewed my previous blog entry. My assistant also downloaded all the messages from my dear fans for me to read. Wow. I’m so deeply touched by all your messages, and your love, your concern, and your encouragement for me is truly very heartwarming. A lot of fans left me messages saying, “You must be exhausted from shooting the film. Honestly, I don’t want to see you so overworked. I think that you’ve aged very fast just in the past year. Both sides of your hair have gone grey. Is it because you’re too tired? Seeing this makes my heart ache.” And then in the evening of Mid-Autumn Festival day, an old friend of mine sent me a message and said, “Jackie, I noticed you’ve grown a moustache and both sides of your hair is grey; it makes you look particularly old. I couldn’t believe that it was you. Seeing this broke my heart. Is this look for your current movie or is it for real? I cried as I watched you on TV.”

Everybody, please don’t worry about me. I’m still very young, ha ha. This is indeed just a look required by the script for the character I’m playing in the film, Kung Fu Kid. Not only do I have to grow a moustache for this movie, I also have to dye the sides of my hair grey and dye my moustache grey as well. The reason for doing this is because I truly don’t like using a fake moustache where I have to glue it on then rip it off everyday. It’s not comfortable at all. So I thought that I might as well grow one myself. A lot of people have said to me that I shouldn’t grow a moustache, but as an actor this is what we have to do. If hair needs to be cut, I’ll cut it; if hair needs to grow, I’ll grow it. A lot of people have been saying to me that I can’t grow a moustache and I can’t have grey hair because my image wouldn’t look good and it’ll make me look a lot older. But as a professional actor, this is what I have to do because this is what the script for the movie needs. I really like this film so I honestly don’t mind the look. But I still want to thank everyone for the love, the care, and the encouragement you have for me. I’m truly very, very touched.

The magnificent stage at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala Event. Not only did I see a clean and beautiful city – Yichun, I also saw the stage crew of Zhong Hua Qing, a team of very professional and specialized performers. They exhibited a very high standard of all-round professionalism - from welcoming guests to the arranging the program, from perfecting onstage choreography to broadcasting live.

My disciples, the “New Seven Little Fortunes”. They also sang a song, 《Long De Mengxiang》 (A Dragon’s Dream).

 The 3rd of October, 11.30pm, on the plane back to Beijing from Changsha. I spent my first Mid-Autumn Festival with the New Seven Little Fortunes thousands of feet above the ground. This is also my first Moon Festival where I’ve been so close to Chang’e (the Goddess of the Moon) and Yutu (the Jade Hare).

 The 4th of October, 1:00am, still another 30 minutes before arriving into Beijing. They’re still so energetic, just like me. Ha ha. (I took this photo).

致我亲爱的影迷们！

今天助手告诉我，上一篇博客已经有近50万的浏览量，并且把我亲爱的影迷们的留言都下载下来给我看，哇，看到大家给我的留言，很感动，真的很感激你们对我的关心，对我的鼓励。很多影迷给我留言说：“你拍戏太累了。真的，我不希望你这样的劳累。就今年我觉得你老得太快了。两边的白发都起来了，是累的么，心里一阵伤感……。”中秋节的晚上我的一个老友也给我发了一条信息：“……我看到大哥留着胡须两鬓发白，显得格外苍老，几乎不敢相信是你，我看了很心痛，这个样子是剧照还是真实照呀，边看电视我边在流眼泪……”

请大家不要为我担心，我还年轻的很呐，哈哈。这确实是我现在正在拍摄的电影《功夫梦》的剧情需要，我这部戏不但要留胡子，还要把头发两边染白，胡子也要染白。因为我真的好怕每天粘胡子、卸胡子，好难受，所以干脆自己留好了。有很多人都跟我说不要留胡子啊，但是我们做演员的就是这样子，要剪就剪，要留就留。很多人都说我不能留胡子不能有白头发，因为形象的问题，这样子会显得老了很多，但是作为演员就是这样子，为了电影剧情的需要，我很喜欢这部电影所以我觉得无所谓。不过还是要谢谢你们对我的关心，对我的鼓励，对我的爱护，真的真的很感动。
