Award-winning Chinese actress and movie director Sylvia Chang gives CNN’s TALK ASIA an in-depth interview this week discussing her movie career spanning more than three decades.
In the half-hour interview, the 51-year-old Chang talks to host Lorraine Hahn about her enduring ambition to stay in the competitive movie-making business.
“I never think about age, I just keep on working. Maybe because I always believe, you know as an actress, the more you work the more experience there are with life, the better you become.”
Chang shares her aims as a producer and director working in various award-winning films such as ‘20:30:40’. She also tells CNN why she chose to work on ‘Rice Rhapsody’, recently shown in the ninth Pusan International Film Festival, along side some unknown actors.
“I was once new. I believe that you’ve got to give opportunities to people. I love to work with young directors and also with young people.”
In addition, Chang shares with international viewers the ups and down in her life, her preferences to act in specific movies, her particular flair for dramas and comedies and her aspirations of directing a political based film.
“I just finished a script with another director…It was based on the Cultural Revolution, and it’s actually a very old political issue but, it’s funny, I’ve never written anything with a political background. But it was good, also quite challenging for me. I found it fun because then you begin to dig out human being’s weakness - and their courage - you know, it’s all about human.”
