| As you told me earlier, you know, your relatives have been threatened, they've had their pay cut because of your work. | |
| What do you think they're trying to accomplish with that? | |
| Well, obviously they wanted to put pressure on me. | |
| Just stop whatever I'm doing. | |
| But to me, I think the best way to react to this is do even more. | |
| Because you can back down. | |
| Once you back down, they know they have you in their pocket. | |
| They know that this works. | |
| It will just go worse. | |
| If this film becomes big, and I think it really has the potential to, you've made a really powerful film here. | |
| Aren't you worried that it might have greater repercussions on your family back home? | |
| Yes, all the time. | |
| It really is like, especially to me, as Chinese, this kind of thing really can impact us a lot. | |
| But I don't think I can walk away. | |
| My conscience won't allow me to do that, firstly. | |
| And then secondly, if I stop because of this, then they know, oh, this works for him. | |
| They won't stop. | |
| They will just do more. | |
| I experienced many of these kind of cases from my friends. | |
| They all experienced this before. | |
| There's a first time, always a second time. | |
| They will go to your family again, but this time they will say, okay, we need you to do this for us. | |
| Otherwise, your family is going to be in trouble again. | |
| So they slowly turn you to work for them. | |
| This is how, you know, for someone that doesn't have the bottom line, they can, yeah. | |
| This is how they manipulate people. |
