I had to find this post again because I’ve been thinking about how other Star Wars cast members (John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran and others) have talked about the extent to which they had to keep all Star Wars mentions from their family. They didn’t even tell anyone that they’d been *cast* in a SW film, let alone discuss any of the actual film details.
And here’s Jiang Wen, gets the super top secret script and the damn thing is written in English so naturally he’s like “FFS I can’t read this!” so he calls his boys to come and READ THE SCRIPT and get their opinion. Non-disclosure agreement be damned. lol
Another addendum: he told this story at one of the red carpet premiers, and there he adds that his son said “this is a hero” to which he replied, “but don’t you think superheroes are silly?” and his son said “but this is a humorous hero” and that was what sold him. The humor was important. <3
I love Jiang Wen.
the guy pissed off the chinese government at least once so much that they were considering banning him from directing for seven years, and likely have.
‘disney told me not to do this’ probably doesn’t even register on his radar.
