If there's Cold War, no 'Star Wars' in China.

From now on, I will work with other people's material if it fits where I want to go.

I'm especially keen to work with good scriptwriters on stories we have developed.

I've also shot plenty of films with very small audiences - 'The Sun Also Rises.' I love that film, but I didn't capture the imagination of the audience. I don't know why.

I personally don't distinguish between artistic and commercial films.

As a director, what I'm trying to do is to create interesting stories.

No matter how lofty a film is, it becomes a product after entering the market. It has a price. I think no matter what your purpose of shooting it, it has to have artistic value and then sell. But you can't make money if it doesn't have artistic value.
