Not just feelings, but persistence

Rocky Balboa, who was over sixty years old, stood on the ring, wearing a gold and black robe, with a solemn expression, like a lion staring at the sunset. His opponent was a young boxer with an undefeated record, and his casual expression obviously didn't take old Rocky seriously. In the frenzied shouts of countless audiences, Rocky took off his robe, revealing his upper body engraved with growth rings, old but hard. At the beginning of the match, the slow-paced Rocky was frequently played by his opponent's jabs, and he returned several heavy punches, all of which were easily avoided. The sighs of the audience, the ridicule of the commentary and the staggering steps did not make Rocky lose his fighting spirit. He defended hard, and finally caught the opportunity and hit his opponent hard on the head! The air around is boiling! Rocky attacked again and again, forcing his opponent to the ropes twice! In the end, the two fought fiercely at the corner of the rope. The old Rocky and the new boxing champion are evenly matched!
When the bell rang for the end of the first round, I was so excited, as if I saw the soul of the old fisherman fighting sharks in Hemingway's book.
"Rocky 6" is the finale of the Rocky series. After 30 years, everything has returned to the starting point. The same is not favored by the world, the same hard work, and the same outcome despite the defeat, there are too many similarities between the sixth and the first. Compared with his youth, the old Rocky bears the glory and dignity of the past, like a jar of dusty ancient brew, once opened, full of fragrance. The game process is already intoxicating, as for the outcome, it really doesn't matter.
You can say that "Rocky 6" sells with feelings, but you can't deny Stallone's persistence. Lao Shi's film career is "N" type, rapidly becoming popular, crashing down, struggling several times, and finally ushering in the second spring. When he was at a low point, he tried to transform. Want to see the funny look of his signature poker face? Take a look at Agent Kid 3.
It's hard to imagine how determined Stallone was to appear in "Rocky 6". Fighting in the ring at the age of sixty? Sounds like a fairy tale. Both Rocky and Stallone in and out of the play have no way out. If they fail, they will become the laughing stock of their lives. As a result, their courage and perseverance conquered the audience. The mischievous old man turned into Stallone's best partner, clearing the thorns of his future.
Let me ask, if there is endless persistence in the landscape, how can the willows and flowers be bright?
Of course, in addition to Stallone in Hollywood, my idol Stephen Chow is another example of toughness. After eight years, he became popular because of "The Holy Gambler", and then he took the wind and waves to the throne. However, his road to becoming king was not all smooth sailing. It is said that Ms. Yu Wenfeng met Xing Ye for the first time, and he was drinking with several friends and got very drunk. Going forward, "Jigong" failed miserably in 1993, and was resurrected with blood in 1994, and "Journey to the West", a hard work in 1995, did not fare well at the box office. Really have the psychological quality of cockroaches, in order to withstand the ups and downs of life stimulation. Besides, Xing Ye's early birth, Hua Fa, has confirmed the truth of comedy: the jokes come from the pain of the performers.
It is human nature to avoid suffering. Xing Ye also tried to transform, but eventually returned to the original path. He is comedy, comedy is him, indistinguishable from each other. In the end, comedy became the best stage for Stephen Chow to express his life insights. Looking back on the past, if there is no painstaking persistence, how could Xingzai be king?
"Rocky 6" is an adult fairy tale. It is important to know that modern sports are far more realistic than people think. A filmmaker's dream can be pursued in a lifetime, but an athlete's sports career is very short, only a dozen years or even a few years.
Grant Hill, a former NBA player, was the No. 3 overall pick in 1994 and became an All-Star starter in his rookie season. In the first six years of his career, he was a dominant player on both ends of the offense and defense. He led the team to the playoffs many times almost by himself, and was known as Jordan's successor. Just as everyone looked up to a rising superstar, a serious ankle injury found him. Since then, it has been hard to see his vigorous figure on the court, and it is more of his embarrassment on crutches. The greatest sadness of athletes is that they are in their peak state, but they encounter a nightmare that is enough to retire. Every time he faces the camera, Hill shows a polite smile, but the bitterness in his heart can be imagined. In 2007, as soon as his contract with the team ended, he was ruthlessly abandoned.
35 years old, the golden age of a man, but the twilight of a basketball player. No one will be surprised if Hill, who has been suffering from injuries, will retire. However, he did not give up basketball and resolutely joined the Suns with a basic salary. Basketball did not give up on him, the Suns team doctor actually cured his chronic illness. For three consecutive years, he only missed 3 games! Then in 2010, the Suns and the Lakers joined the Western Conference finals. During this period, Hill ushered in the most glorious moment of his career. Not only did he start all 6 games, but he was also responsible for defending Kobe Bryant at the age of 38. Although the Suns regretted being eliminated, Hill was satisfied. He has earned the late respect like old Rocky, and it doesn't matter whether he succeeds or not.
The arena is like a battlefield, and the battlefield is like a shopping mall. In 1999, Jack Ma founded Alibaba. At that time, it was the depression period of the domestic Internet, and a large number of websites went bankrupt one after another. At this critical moment of life and death, Ma Yun shouted a battle declaration of "even if I kneel, I have to fall in the end". How many blood and tears, all in silence. Regarding the secret of competition in the market, Feng Xin, another IT giant, said it well: the most important thing is not to get off the poker table. In other words, it is still the word "persistence".
Everyone has a dream, it's easy to give up, but hard to hold on. Sixty-year-old Rocky and Stallone chose to persevere. Ordinary people like me, every time I see Rocky's heroic appearance on the field, and think of those times when I didn't achieve anything, I can't help but burst into tears.
