AN INTERVIEW WITH CHOW YUN-FAT

This interview was put up in Baidu by lengyanleng

An interview with Chow Yun Fat cannot be described in a few words........

First stop....roast goose Landscape photography is 90% hanging about. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the sun is too high, the view is not sufficiently beautiful, Chow Yun Fat sits in a spacious people carrier, and suggests we go and eat something. At the door of the restaurant the owner greets us, Chow Yun Fat waves his hand and says, "Today I'm bring a friend to eat roast goose [a favourite quick snack in Hong Kong] He goes towards the cooked meat counter. The owner smiles at lets him through, one can tell they know each other well. I have met many artists, and it is often a headache to arrange. They will say "We can't meet in a public place, there will be too many fans; a restaurant would also be too public......" Chow Yun Fat proved that a big star could happily share a couple of plates of food and a bowl of soup. Other people in the restaurant eagerly asked for his photo, and Chow Yun Fat first of all asked where they were from - some came from Fujian Province..... people from many different places all asked for a photo. [He asked them] to wait until everyone had eaten their fill, there was no rush, everyone showing great mutual respect, and everyone was happy. This could be called inappropriate, but then the real question is who is more famous than Chow Yun Fat? [Ask the famous people who say it is inappropriate, can they remember the time when it would have been appropriate?] Chow Yun Fat smiled and said: "If by any chance in a public place was closed and there were no people, perhaps there would be fewer people asking for autographs and photos, but it would seem very empty. In all the world the stars of Hong Kong are the most apprehensive." "Artists are swayed much more by the general public than the general public are swayed by artists. There are people who have supported you for 30 years, who by chance have the opportunity to see you in the flesh for the first time; if you don't stir, that is to say you want to retain your privacy in your free time, how can you justify this?

UPDATE: "THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI"

04/30/08) Director Roger Spottiswoode talks about the complication during filming in China:
"You can't get dailies (quickly processed footage of the previous day's shoot) in China, the labs aren't very good, so we processed in Melbourne. The film was shipped back as DVD but they censor everything, so of course the DVDs never arrive or take months to arrive. "You finish shooting before you see any dailies, but my editor, Geoff Lamb, would cut away at Digital Pictures and within a day everything I'd shot the day before he would have edited and put it up as a podcast. All the way through the shoot, no matter how remote we were, I at least was seeing cut film all the way through."
