Tao: Left hand music right hand movie once applied as Ang Lee Assistant (figure)

Tao Author, editor/Lu Jia Photography/Wang This June, Tao in the absence of the 21st Taiwan Golden Melody Award, with the album "69 Movement Zerotohero" won the best Mandarin Male Singer Award, attracted a noise, but he was very calm, a "busy abroad to make a film" even if explained. In fact, a person has a dream, there is no need to explain to others-only after a serious chat with Tao, you will find that the film is really his current more value. But his attitude lifting: "I will be a humble director at the scene of the filming, so that the mood of the cast members is stabilized." No swearing! I'm so angry that I can only scold the deputy director, haha.　　"Finally, I can make a movie, I'm happy." Reporter: Why rarely attend the ceremony in recent years? Tao: The award will be happy, there will be positive feelings. Whether this award is a fan or an expert elected, always a kind of affirmation to me. But from the small, I like a creative person or some people who contribute to society, the more important is his influence on society, rather than what he won. In addition to my father's influence, he is also an entertainer, director, also make music, but he has been very light on the award. When I grew up, I also found that if it is for the award of efforts, very hard, and there will be unnecessary "injury." I've seen artists like this, and when I do something, I think, oh, do I get a prize? Tired.　　My favorite film directors such as Scorsese, Woody Allen, and Steven Spielberg, who have been successful in terms of film and social influence, have not won many prizes. Are you discouraged if you make a work of your own that is satisfying, a song, a movie or a book, but no one gives you an award?　　Or conversely, if you think you are unqualified, someone gives you a prize, you can calm yourself?　　Reporter: But this time you still came to Beijing to receive the prize, "CCTV-MTV" music Festival "Hong Kong and Taiwan Best Male Singer", it is said that your work focus is the film ... Tao: Sometimes I don't go to public places, I don't see fans, I can't interact with them, so I don't always confined. In fact, I was in the University of the film department, and even early in junior high school I have made movies as a goal. But in the United States because was Wang Zhiping discovered, pulls me to make the music, has started another way. Every time I do music for a year or two, I think, when can I make a movie?　　Now finally can, I am very happy. I have a big mind, a director and a screenwriter, and maybe give up music for the time being, because I don't think one can do two things at once.　　Besides, making movies is not a job for me, but a dream. "I used to be an assistant director of Ang Lee!" Reporter: What are you prepared to do in order to realize the dream of making movies?　　It should be relatively easy to have a star halo in your body? Tao: You may not believe that I wrote an email to Ang Lee and applied to be his assistant director! Just at the beginning of this year, a friend forwarded over the mail, saying that LeeAnn is looking for assistant director, ask to understand Chinese, English, but also interested in the film, just say I, haha. Unfortunately, because there are other jobs, failed to achieve, in fact, assistant director is the most able to learn things. At present I am writing a script, because I do not write, I never know where the problem is.　　Americans have a joke: there is no "write" This thing, only "rewrite" "Rewrite." Now the film seems very good to do, as long as there is a team, anyone can shoot. I don't make jokes about movies when I'm not ready. I wish someone would get to know me again--film director Tao, not singer Tao made a movie.　　So I'm not going to use any star effect, because I want the movie to look good, not just Tao fans. Because the director is also the new film industry, so it is difficult, as a director to "pressure" to live in the audience, starring may not obedient, photography may be moody ...　　To communicate, but I'm new and humble.　　Reporter: That in the movie also do not expect to get the prize? Tao: If one day, the Golden Horse Award, the gold statue, even Oscar came to me, is not my most care, I hope to be recognized, but not necessarily an award. The Beatles had chosen a baseball field in the United States, fifty thousand or sixty thousand spectators, and after the show they decided not to play any more, because only 2000 of the people in the front could see what the 58,000 people were getting. Although they are the world's most popular band, but from then on they only run a small performance of 2000 people.　　Now everyone in the film industry is chasing the box office, the pursuit of awards, I do not want to. Reporter: If in the United States, found that you are not musicians but filmmakers, you will be able to realize the dream earlier?　　Or instead of making you a songwriter, just wrapping it up as an idol singer? Tao: If so, maybe I've made six movies now, haha. But "Idol" is impossible, I only have to do a songwriter, do the producer, just know that "red" does not necessarily depend on the shape, sound, there are many factors.　　But I am more "strict" with the new people, sometimes they think that enough conditions red, I put music to them to listen to: you sing songs not called music, this is music.　　Reporter: You are said to be more careful at work, but as a cancer man, not will return to the family? Tao: I'm a bit of a perfectionist, this kind of personality is good for making movies, because the director is sensitive to art, but can not be too sensitive to everything else, otherwise people say what I collapse. Family is important to me, but my career is important. Although the director "disappears" as soon as he makes a film, I will try to close it with my parents, friends, future wives and children.
