Time Magazine USA. Send reporters to the set of Batman to do an exclusive interview and take pictures of Zhang Tan, and he will appear on the cover of Time magazine next week.

n Earlier, Zhang Tan had an opinion on "Time Magazine", because the other party had never asked him to be on the cover.

As a coquettish writer and director in Asia for more than ten years, Zhang Tan feels that he can be on the cover ten times, and even Huang Daliang has been on the cover of the Asian version once, how can he be convinced.

Fortunately, Time Magazine's promotion of the Matrix series of movies is okay, and Zhang Tan forgave the other party's lack of eyes.

……

On the set.

Air-conditioned room.

Zhang Tan changed into a T-shirt with stills from "Hacker 2" printed on his chest. Interviewed by reporters.

The interview was very formal, with a question and a answer.

It mainly revolves around Zhang Tan's film career, embellishing a little bit of Zhang Tan's life experience.

The reporter asked: "Is making a film a continuation of writing?" ”

Zhang Tan: "Let's put it this way, writing has reached a bottleneck, what I am good at is that kind of martial arts, but my ideas are not limited to it. I'm comfortable as a director now, and I think it's great to be able to create whatever I want. ”

"Before the age of thirty, you have achieved heights that many people have difficult to achieve in their lifetimes, and after the age of thirty, will you have higher pursuits?"

Although it can be negative to say so. But really, I never pursued anything because I liked it, and I didn't have much purpose. ”

"All the films you've made are well received. has also supervised and screenwritten a large number of works, how to maintain such a high output? ”

"Talent, I can only describe it as talent, since I was a child, there were countless sparks of inspiration in my mind. I enjoy life and hate going to work. Most of it was inspiration that pushed me to make it happen. So I don't know how to stay productive, I'm just following the guidance of my talent. ”

"If one day you run out of talent, what would you do?"

"Uh, traveling the world? I've been to Antarctica, I haven't been to the North Pole and the Himalayas, I've never been to outer space, and I want to try it when I have the chance. Or go back to the countryside, buy a farm, and live a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city...... Who knows, it's just about eating, drinking, and having fun. ”

"Well, back to the movie, "Hacker 2" has a higher rating than the first one, which is quite rare in sequel movies, how do you grasp the direction of the movie?"

"This is actually quite simple to say, since the first "The Matrix", I have been writing the script according to the trilogy, and all the plots are coherent and foreshadowing each other, so it's not that the quality of the sequel is higher, but that the trilogy is a whole, and the quality of each part is balanced."

"How did you come up with a story like The Matrix?"

"Since I was a child, I have always liked to think cranky, to think about life, to think about the universe, to think about strange things, and this is how the story of the Matrix originated. I remember watching a few movies where the narrator was in a virtual system before, and then I always had this feeling of horror, if we were just simulated by the machine, or living in an illusion...... Then I put this feeling into some theories and made it standardized and rigorous. ”

"The Matrix has a very good reputation and huge commercial achievements, and you were nominated for the Oscar for Best Director this year, did you ever think about when you would win Best Director?"

"Sometimes I want to get it, sometimes I don't care, my pursuit of honor is not so big, I will try my best to make every movie more perfect and more liked by the audience, but I will not think about how I can make it to cater to the taste of the Oscars."

For Oscar, Zhang Tan is of course full of longing.

It's just that sometimes the posture of Qinggao still has to be put on, and you can't always say that you want it, so there is no room for return.

Because Zhang Tan didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to win the Oscar.

Isn't it a shame to say you want it and you can't get it. If you want to say it, you can only say that you don't care, you don't make movies for awards.

This is how high enough it looks.

The reporter faithfully recorded Zhang Tan's words, and then asked: "The success of the Matrix has made many people look forward to your directorial career, are you determined to become the greatest director of this era?" ”

"I'm only determined to make great movies." Zhang Tan smiled, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, the comparison of art is actually more idealistic, everyone has their own yardstick to measure value, even those recognized masters, there are still many people who disagree." ”

After a pause, Zhang Tan said: "I hope that in the future, everyone will mention that in this era, who made "The Matrix", this is a very good-looking movie, like this." ”(~^~)
