Hollywood is a desirable place for many actors and directors all over the world.


    Hollywood is like a magnetic field, attracting many talented and thoughtful people together. They discuss and make progress together. This is a good place for communication and learning.


    Before, all the women who went out to Hollywood from the mainland of China were female stars, and there was only one man, Li Lianjie. Liang Kun became the second leading actor in the mainland and the first self directed and self performed male star, which attracted more attention.


    There are many fans in China waiting to hear Liang Kun''s feelings. On January 18, he received an exclusive interview with a CCTV female reporter alone in the cafe near his residence.


    Liang Kun first invited the female reporter to have a cup of coffee and dessert, and then began the interview.


    He was in a good mood today because the female reporter released an orange task related to the interview. Reporters come all the way from home to interview. Of course, they want to dig big news. As long as he is willing to accept an interview, he can complete it with enough attention in China.


    The reporter asked: "now some people regard you and directors such as Wu Yusen and Ang Lee as a sign of the internationalization of Chinese directors. How do you see yourself making films for Hollywood?"


    "I think making movies is a hobby. Shooting stories I like and making them well will have a great sense of achievement. I also like to be an actor. In the future, I should have many films directed and acted by myself. As for the symbol of internationalization, I like this statement. I hope more and more good films in China can be sold to other countries and get good results."


    Liang Kun is willing to contribute to the development of Chinese film industry, but the current domestic film environment is not good enough. Before a large number of cinemas were established and people used to go to the cinema to see movies, he directed or starred in domestic films.


    The reporter asked: "is the launch of the Asian star director program by Yingyi entertainment company for the development of Chinese film industry?"


    "Of course, I talked with brother Hua in China. We all think it''s a very meaningful thing," Liang Kun said with a smile.


    Almost everyone is not optimistic about their plan and thinks they will lose money. In fact, the plan is very simple. Yingyi entertainment selects six young directors across Asia and gives them 20 million yuan to make films.


    In the parallel world, in addition to crazy stone, all five other films hit the streets. The stone with a production cost of 3.5 million made more than 20 million box office achievements in 2006, which made director Ning Hao a blockbuster.


    Qianlima needs to meet bole. Yingyi Entertainment''s move is to give new people with no background a chance. No one has ever done such a thing before. Liang Kun and Andy Lau have gained a good reputation in this life. After all, this is 20 million, not 2000 yuan. If the movie doesn''t succeed, 20 million will be gone.


    This also shows how important the first person who made the fire was. Later, Ning Hao supported Wen Muye to shoot "I''m not a god of medicine" and Guo fan to shoot "wandering the earth". The subtitle at the end of wandering the earth has a paragraph "special thanks to Mr. Andy Lau" at the end of the list of people.


    Lao Liu is a person who really makes practical contributions to the film industry! He is not entirely for money. He is a filmmaker with ideals and pursuit and a sense of mission!


    The reporter asked: "you haven''t been in the United States for a long time. You are a young newcomer in Hollywood. Have you encountered any special difficulties in the shooting process?"


    "It''s not difficult, because I have several good partners. The producer has arranged what to shoot in which venue, and the first deputy director will assist me in the crew. He will arrange a lot of things. We found a school as a base, and the shooting process was very smooth. It was completed in less than a month. I also made a lot of friends in the crew."


    The reporter asked, "haven''t cultural differences brought you any trouble?"


    Liang Kun shook his head and said with a smile, "from the perspective of management, it''s easier and no trouble to make a film in Hollywood. The division of labor of the crew is very clear. The director only needs to do the work of director. I don''t need to bother with many things."


    "Can you give me an example?"


    "In the movie, the female owner had to use a gun in a scene. In reality, the props gun at the beginning was the type with great backseat force. I think it would be a little fake to shoot with that pistol. Then the deputy director went to communicate with the props engineer. The props engineer immediately found two other props guns and said to me that he was very sorry because he should have backup options. I don''t need to worry about things like this."


    Liang Kun casually cited an example. The director of the domestic crew has great power and takes care of many things. That''s really troublesome.


    "Is there anything you are not used to?" the reporter still wants to ask some bad things. Can''t he have no difficulty when filming? What role model did he set for people in the domestic film industry?


    "I''m not used to some food here. I prefer to go back to my residence and cook Chinese food myself." Liang Kun smiled.


    The reporter asked: "some people in China think that your film making is too commercial. Hollywood films have increasingly become a money making machine. Americans seem to be talking about money forever until they annoy you. What do you think?"


    "If others have been talking about money, but the money has nothing to do with me, I''ll probably be bored. If it has something to do with it, I''ve made a lot of money, this should be a great thing? Who will be tired of making money from movies? Super rich? Go away, you dead money! Go away, don''t bother me." Liang Kun said with the action of throwing money.


    Female journalists and cameramen were amused by him.


    In fact, it''s not the rich who say this. It''s a group of domestic directors who pursue art and have no box office. They despise those who regard films as money making machines. Their films are money losing machines and have a sense of art.


    The reporter asked, "after this Hollywood experience, has your view of the film changed?"


    "It hasn''t changed. I''ve always wanted to make movies that meet the public''s taste. I''ve had a great time making movies. Many people like to watch them after they are released. I think this is success."


    The reporter asked, "will you consider making art films in the future?"


    Liang Kun thought for a moment and said with a smile, "it depends on what kind of art it is. I''ll consider it for large-scale production. Even if it involves a lot of naked plays."


    "Art film" refers to some films that focus on art and less commercial. Most of them are independent films, with specific audiences as the viewing object, rather than the general public. In Europe, there are a large group of directors who pursue art. The actors don''t take off their clothes. They don''t know how to shoot.


    Liang Kun believes that large-scale production also has art films, which can be both commercial and artistic. If Michael Bay were asked this question, he would probably say "art is explosion".


    The reporter asked about acting again. "You played a couple with a white actress in this film. I heard there was a kissing scene. Do you have any special feelings?"


    In 1999, Anna and the king, a collaboration between Chow Yun fat and Judy foster, was regarded as a major breakthrough for Chinese actors in Hollywood, because it was difficult to see Chinese male stars playing love rivals with white Hollywood female stars. Unfortunately, the box office of the film hit the street.


    Liang Kun''s film seems to have special significance because he has attracted white beauties.


    Liang Kun shook his head. "No special feelings, the plot needs, we are all very professional actors."


    The reporter asked: "only a handful of Chinese actors can make achievements in Hollywood. Do you think there is discrimination?"


    This topic has always been discussed. A report shows that among the 10000 characters with lines, names and clear racial characteristics in Hollywood, 71.7% are white, 12.2% are black, 5.8% are Hispanic or Latino, 5.1% are Asian, 5.4% are middle eastern and others.


    Colored people account for 28.3% of the total, nearly 10 percentage points lower than their proportion of 37.9% of the U.S. population. More than half of the film and television works do not have an Asian character with lines, and the roles played by Asian actors are often nerds, homosexuals, restaurant owners and Kung Fu experts.


    Liang Kun does not agree with the theory of "discrimination". "Hollywood looks world-wide, but its essence is to make films for European and American people. The image of Asians is OK for them as a seasoning, and it will certainly not be the main course. Because the audience does not accept it because of their personal habits, Asian actors can''t bring greater benefits to the film makers, so people won''t use you. This is not discrimination, but to make more money."


    The reporter asked, "you didn''t show Kung Fu in the film this time. Will you star in action movies in the future?"


    Liang Kun nodded and said with a smile, "I can make action movies, but I think when Hollywood mainstream films have a very popular role, not to mention his Chinese background, he does not require to be able to play Kung Fu. It is played by Chinese actors. That is the real success."


    Before the famous Chinese stars in Hollywood, almost all started as stars. Liang Kun didn''t plan to act in the early stage, just didn''t want to let himself be stereotyped. After a certain type, he had to constantly make films of the same type.


    Even if he wants to make an action film, Liang Kun also wants to make his own script. After the fire, he needs to find a reliable martial arts director.


    Otherwise, he has no room to play, and it may not look good. Just like if he works with Nolan, "Batman" is nominally an action film, but the action play is like fighting with street gangsters.


    It''s bullshit to say that any action play deliberately shot close to reality. In reality, Liang Kun like bell is confident to play ten, and the pattern sling must be much more beautiful than Nolan. Bell''s muscles from the gym look OK. It''s useless.


    The reporter asked about music.


    Liang Kun said with a smile: "Viva Lavida was written last year, which was my inspiration when traveling in France. Chandelier was later written in China. I also wrote several English songs, which will be released in the future."


    At the end of the interview, the reporter asked Liang Kun when he would return home.


    "I can''t go back until later. I have to promote this film in the United States, participate in some activities and prepare for the next film. Maybe the sales of novels are high, and I''ll sign books."


    The reporter asked: "I read that the lost lover is a thriller about marriage. How did you think of writing this theme?"


    "I''ll talk more about the inspiration of chatting with people..."
