Ambition, struggle and honesty
The fierce mention of the word "ambition" always seems to remind people of sinister characters such as careerists. In fact, ambition is also a kind of motivation.
Shi Tian is such an ambitious man. When I was a child, Shi Tian especially liked reading biographies of famous people, including their successes and failures, and their life experiences. Slowly, he set a goal that he must succeed in society. At an early age, Shi Tian dreamed of his own development. At that time, it was a shortcut for young people to succeed through the entertainment circle, and Shi Tian himself was an active member in the school. 1969 joined Shaw Studios, which was the largest studio in Hong Kong at that time. He chose to grow up in a good cradle.
Shi Tian said, "At that time, I was very young, about twenty years old, and I didn't have many roles. The actors at that time were mature, charming and handsome. My old man didn't realize the weight and couldn't play. I had to learn something behind the scenes. Because I long for fame and family, I work harder than others. "
"Shaw Studio was the only institution with training courses at that time. From the aspects of appearance, potential, language, makeup, movements and so on, I have been trained and excavated, and it took me about one or two years to learn. At that time, because there was no live radio broadcast, it was necessary to dub behind the scenes. A play takes 300 to 400 yuan, which is recorded in nine hours a day and watched in three days. One day with two groups is fun and profitable, and it doesn't cost much, saving a lot of money. I also learned a lot at that time, which laid the foundation for later. I watch other people's performances every day and see things outside the classroom. I learned the length of others. Lighting, photography, composition, scenery and clothing are all comprehensive. "
After seven years in Shaw Film Company, Shi Tian went out to develop as a freelance actor. Jackie Chan was already very popular at that time, and some comedy action movies, such as snake-like tricks and drunken fists, were all very good, and Shi Tian, the supporting actor, was also popular.
"I have also been stereotyped as a comedy action actor, and I have also achieved success in the film industry, with greater ambitions."
Afraid of working hard alone, Shi Tian and several good friends-Mai Jia, the bald guy, and Huang Baiming, the screenwriter, opened the New Art City Film Company at 1979 and started their business. Wu Yusen's Funny Times is a play that he imitates Chaplin and Happy Fairy Nest, and takes the comedy family route.
Shi Tian said, "Chasing Girls" is the first modern drama in which my old man turned into a fashionista, and it is a great transformation. At that time, when I hosted the reporter's audition for the first time, the reaction was not very great, so I was very nervous. Whether I can sell a seat depends on the midnight performance. This is an indicator. The audience's reaction was direct, but it burst into flames during the midnight show. "This movie won tens of millions of box office, breaking the record at that time. Later, the best partner, the wrong bus, the ghost story of the ghost story, the happy ghost, the hero and other famous movies. Released one after another.
With the painstaking efforts of Shi Tian and others, the "New Art City" has become a household name in places where there are China people.
[Commercial-Real Estate]
Make money, buy a house, invest.
In the later stage of filming, Shi Tian had set foot in real estate. At that time, Shi Tian knew little about the real estate industry. He just buys and sells houses and bunks to earn the difference.
Businessman Shi Tian now says that investing in real estate, like investing in movies, is a kind of future in itself.
Shi Tian bought a lot of books about real estate and finance in New York State when he was filming "The True Color of Heroes II", and they all died. He has never read these books before. From then on, he devoted himself to economic research and began to understand the relationship between politics and economy. "When I was studying movies, my ability to predict the market was very strong. After studying finance and real estate, I learned how to integrate this feeling into it. I participate in American futures, indexes and Hong Kong stocks. 1993 and 1994 spent a long time investing in holiday and leisure centers in Thailand. Unfortunately, it was almost defeated by the impact of the Asian financial turmoil. "
Experienced a lot of things, Shi Tian said, now look at life very lightly, not quite the same as when I was young.
[Life-Three Hobbies]
Golf cigar coffee
Shi Tian has many hobbies in his life, but golf, cigars and coffee are his favorites.
Playing golf, Shi Tian is usually in Shahe and Shengao, which is convenient and the course is good.
Shi Tian said there were no caddies in Hong Kong. In the past, they just played ball games, ate and left. Now they like hanging out, playing ball games and making friends.
Playing ball is exactly the same as life. Very tired. It is impossible to fall in the same place every time you play. Don't compare with others. "Why is he better than me in the same village?" In fact, everyone has a process, which makes them develop differently from others.
Besides playing golf, Shi Tian's other hobby is smoking cigars, and cigars can't be left behind. After smoking cigars for 20 years, Shi Tian always uses a lighter from time to time. If he doesn't smoke, it's easy to put it out.
Shi Tian often has two kinds of cigars in his pocket, both of which are the best Cuban cigars. Shi Tian's favorite is Gao Xiba, which tastes very mellow and smells very special. Many people say that smoking cigars is status and taste, but it is not necessarily, "I just enjoy this feeling." After all, two or three hundred dollars a piece is not affordable for everyone, but it gives me a kind of enjoyment, different tastes and different quality effects, which is a kind of taste in life.
"I don't smoke cigars, I just smell them. I really enjoy this feeling, strong tobacco flavor, real tobacco flavor. It's a long story about cigar culture. Every cigar has its own beautiful legend. The easiest thing to remember is that every cigar in the place of origin is rubbed by those beautiful ladies on their thighs. "
Of course, Shi Tian likes coffee, too. He likes strong coffee without sugar and milk, which is very strong. The story of Shi Tian.
Treat people sincerely. Don't play tricks and cheat with others;
In a society, going out depends on friends. When you are in trouble, you should tell others sincerely and he will help you sincerely;
People must look forward, not backward. Forget how much others owe you. If he does, he will pay you back. If he doesn't, it's no use urging him again. I'm embarrassed to buy you a cup of coffee next time I meet him.
People should not be afraid of being old, treat young people as brothers and sisters and children. As long as I understand, I will definitely tell you.
To lose is to take advantage. You learned a trick from him. You have learned something. Don't be afraid of suffering. What happens if you do more than others? Why didn't he do it? Why should I? The superiors can't see it on the first day, and they can't see it the next day, but they will one day. You will have a chance to get a promotion next time.

57 years old may mean retirement and grandchildren for many people, but Shi Tian is an exception. He has always adhered to a creed: struggle!
From movies to real estate, from making money to living, from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, he has completed one leap after another in his life journey.
