soccer children two
Kung fu and soccer are the two things that I was most interested in as a child.
moving color long
When I was an actor in some movies a long time ago, I was so curious about all the camera movements - why is the camera placed here, and why does it move like this? And why the set and the background, the color? It's a lot of questions for me to ask, because I was so interested, not only in acting, but also the whole process of filmmaking.
unique important elements
One very important element for me to make a movie is, it has to be unique and different from any other.
cute dog eye
I had a dog I raised for many years. He was a Pekingese with big eyes and a flat face, very cute.
running book land
As many people have pointed out, the scene in ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ where the Landlady was chasing after me resembled the Roadrunner, … I loved to watch cartoons and read comic books when I was small. In fact, I still watch and read a lot of them now. They give me great ideas.
objectivity subjectivity needs
A creation needs not only subjectivity, but also objectivity.
school long chinese
I did learn Chinese kung-fu in a school for a short time, but I couldn't afford to pay for long-term learning.
successful ideas trying
If first of all you have a wrong idea, then it's kind of wasting time. No matter how hard that you try with a wrong idea, it makes it difficult to be successful.
believe successful risk
Every project for me is a risk that I bet on. I believe my senses, and hopefully it will be successful. But sometimes you make it, and sometimes you fail.
thinking
I think my English is bad.
trying relax way
I train my muscles, and I do a lot of stretching, and try to kick higher. But for me, practicing kung-fu is a way to relax myself.
winning awards matter
Sometimes earning awards doesn't matter as much as earning revenue or profit, or having a good response from the audience. No matter how many awards you win, if you can't earn any profit from your movie, if the audience doesn't like it, then it doesn't matter how many awards you get.
wings style actors
I fell in love with Bruce Lee after I watched his movies, and I wanted to become a kung-fu practicer, and I would like to be someone like Bruce Lee. That's why I learned kung-fu, and that's why I picked the wing chun style, because it's his style. That's why I decided to be an actor, to go into show business, because of him.
giving-up want ifs
If you can keep going and never give up, ultimately you will get something that you really want.
