"My dear friends:
I haven't seen you for more than a year. I miss you so much... I have been missing for more than a year. I made a movie called "Hot Hot". I shot this movie for a whole year, covering four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. I started the movie five times (one more time because I was too tired). I also successfully lost weight. I gained 100 pounds and became like a boxer. The night I finished the shoot, I sat alone by the bed, with the moonlight shining on my back, and I ate five packs of chocolate wafers with no shirt, a total of 30 yuan... Now Recalling it, I feel very handsome, like a tired warrior holding his trophy! The
movie will be released on the first day of the new year. In fact, I have always known that I have lost 100 pounds. Now as long as I meet you, I am in love with the movie. The best publicity, but I couldn't bear it. I was afraid of disturbing the surprise brought by the movie, and I didn't want you to think that I just made a movie about weight loss. So although there were a lot of discussions this year, I never took the initiative I mentioned it before. Because this movie has nothing to do with weight loss, or even boxing. It is a movie about how kind people find themselves and learn to love themselves. I also have many questions about life that I want to discuss with you, etc. After it's released~ And...I tried my best to make this movie. I just hope that you can be proud of me when you see me again in the cinema. There is a past me in the movie, and there is also a new one. I hope you can like them both.
The last thing is... I have been really hungry and tired this year, and it seems like a lifetime has passed. If you see me during a road show, can you come on stage and give me a hug if you have the chance? It may be a bit 'hard' to hold you in my arms now, but I really miss you! See you on the first day of the new year!"
