HKC : : Yourself have directed two films in 1974 and 1975: respectively Young Lovers on Flying Wheelsand The Young Rebel. What do you remember from those two shootings and why didn't you make more films afterwards? |
Ti Lung : Why did I make these films? Well, because of Chang Cheh, he had a vision. When an actor reaches a certain level, at some point he needs to change, to get behind the camera as a technician or even a director. As my contract andDavid Chiang’s at the SB were soon over, Chang Cheh thought about recruiting us. He already had Taiwanese people, a new generation of actors-stuntmen (The future ‘Venoms’) that he wanted to put in the foreground. He had the idea of encouraging us to become directors him and me. |
HKC : Thanks to Chang Cheh, you had the opportunity to write, play and direct your own films while Chang Cheh directed his own and produced yours… |
Ti Lung : On my first film The Young Rebel, I wrote the script which is inspired from my childhood and we can describe it as a miserable, ‘une vie de chien’ [Ed'.: ‘a dog’s life’ in French]. I made this first film and that gave me the opportunity to know more things behind the camera. And for the actor, I chose David Chiang because he’s very slim and his figure was a lot like mine when I was 16/17 at that time I was very skinny and quite fragile. But as you know the work of director is tough, complex and my experience in that field was so limited. I was young so I can call the two films I made as immature. Yet they were very good experiences and I concluded from that that I preferred staying an actor, it takes time to play well. We had little success for the first time and I thought that as an actor, there was still a place for me. |
