ZHANG YIMOU

To survive is to win.

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!

But I think we need the international market.

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

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

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.

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

Time has changed and now is the age of spending.

HERO is a combination of my personal feeling and the commercialism.

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

Time has changed and now is the age of spending.

Wuxia is a fantasy world exists in everyone's mind.

To survive is to win.

I must stick with Chinese language films.

People in misery is what most important in art.

I am a fan of wuxia.

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

I hope before I am getting too old and when my mind is still functioning, I can tell some better stories.

You must know what you are capable of.

Piracy has destroyed the domestic market.

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

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

Only people have been through that miserable time will recall the pass from their deep memory.

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

I'm not Ang Lee who knows so much about western market and the taste of western audiences.

HERO is a combination of my personal feeling and the commercialism.

To do art, one thing should always remember - subjects of people in misery have deep meanings.
