Now a movie with 30 million returns would be something very incredible and the producer can only get 10 to 15 million. This is only 100 thousands US dollars. This is not enough!

People in misery is what most important in art.

Under the big political umbrella, a man is just like a leaf in the ocean, with no control of his destiny and does not have any choice.

Piracy has destroyed the domestic market.

For over ten years I always had, but I don't speak English.

The so-called commercialism includes elements like story, plots, rhythms and large big scenes.

You must know what you are capable of.

People have become shallower. They view spending, entertaining, seeking leisure and enjoying as the main objectives of their life.

Ang Lee was educated in the West and his English is good.

This is my first wuxia movie and I must consider this before trying to make something with my own.

Still, language is resilient, and poetry when it is pressured simply goes underground.
