I really have to say 'thank you' to our fans, because I think it's difficult for European viewers to find and watch Asian movies, and I hope you enjoy our films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Asian culture has to be a part of what we see on TV and in movies.
Being an actress in China, I'm actually a very lucky actress... Especially now that Chinese movies are becoming more diverse with more viewers overseas.
I grew up accepting that my nationality was not depicted on TV or film. To be honest, it was something I didn't acknowledge as a kid. But once I realized my love for acting and the possibility of pursuing a career in it, I quickly noticed the absence of Asians in general and thought, 'Well, I'm gonna try to change that.'
My career in the movie business began in Hong Kong, my heart has always been tied to Asia, and it is immensely gratifying to see international recognition for Asian cinema as a whole.
I've always been a fan of Korean cinema but never really pursued it, as I wanted to pave my way here in the States. I figured, once I established myself here, Korea might take notice. And it did.
Obviously, I've made several films in Korea, so I'm very well accustomed and acclimated to Korean filmmaking.
I make American films for American audiences and Asian films for Asian audiences.
My hope is that shows like 'Fresh Off the Boat' open the door for even more of those kinds of characters for Asian actors and actresses.
I've always been fascinated by Asian culture, and I love that women can play the lead in a horror film.
My mother is a very big cinema buff, so as a kid, we watched a lot of Indian and Malay films.
