Lesson 25
Shall I be direct or try a bit of bullshitting?Ang Lee: And I like even to this day, I like to be, direct with... I think that’s the most efficient way dealing with actor, even though sometimes it can be painful, it seems brutal, but it’s effective, it’s less bullshit.
Wak Choi in fact, he spent two months of his own time practising swordsmanship. He hired a coach and did something and put it on tape, proudly showed it to me, and I said "It sucks, and it’s not what I want". It really hurt him - but it’s very effective, you know.
A typical, like after a take, "Oh, that was great, erm, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah" and "How about… let’s try something else". That’s not on, a lot of the time that’s bullshit. But I do more and more of that these days, because I get more sophisticated language, in English, and I work with more movie stars.
