        <td width="100%" valign="top"><div class="news-content"><p>In 100 years of Chinese film, “The Flowers of War” is the first major title to feature a western movie star. </p>
<p>Budgeted at $100 million, “Flowers of War” stars Oscar-winner Christian Bale as John Miller, an opportunist mortician on the run in 1937 as the Japanese are invading the province of Nanking, now known as Nanjing. The Japanese occupation led to the deaths of thousands of Chinese citizens and came to be known by some as the Rape of Nanking or the Nanjing Massacre. </p>
<p>In the film, which had a limited US release before opening nationwide, Bale’s character must save a group of schoolgirls from the clutches of the Japanese. At the same time, he falls in love with a Chinese courtesan. <br />Bale and Chinese director Zhang Yimou, who communicated through an interpreter while making the film, talked with Reuters about overcoming cultural barriers and revisiting an infamous episode of China’s past.</p>
<p><strong>Q: This is your first time working with a western film star. Did the collaboration meet or defy your expectations? </strong><br />Zhang: “First, I’m amazed at how low key and humble Christian is. The stereotype that Chinese have of Hollywood actors is they probably have an entourage and assistants. So that’s definitely changed how I viewed Hollywood actors. And also Christian didn’t want to stay in a five star hotel either. He lived right above me, lived with everybody else, with the crewmembers. And another thing is Christian gave up his weekends to work with us because we work seven days a week.” <br />Bale: “But this seven-day week schedule became something I quite enjoyed cause I liked the momentum. Yimou is top dog in his profession, and he genuinely seemed to have a great deal of humour and laughter on the set. I didn’t always know what the laughter was about but I would laugh with them. I hope they’re not all laughing at me! I felt surrounded by good friends and even if I didn’t understand nuances of what was being discussed, I got the essence in the presence of people.” </p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you find that your shared experience in filmmaking was enough to communicate despite the language barrier? </strong><br />Bale: “There would be moments where Yimou would come to me and we would work it out between the two of us. And sometimes with a scene it’s very small adjustments that were being asked for and I could understand from body language. And I always was convinced Yimou spoke a little bit of English, more than he ever let onto. So we’d experiment and see how it works out and sometimes it did and sometimes it didn’t.” </p>
<p><strong>Q: How are Western actors different than Chinese? </strong><br />Zhang: “Each line Christian offered three or four different ways, which is very unusual because Chinese actors normally cannot pull that off. Screening the film for a western audience I realised that the first one-third of the movie, audiences would laugh at Christian’s lines. That actually surprised me because when I wrote the script in Chinese, I didn’t think that was humorous, but clearly Christian added other layers to it.” </p>
<p><strong>Q: I understand Zhang asked you to stand before the cast and give them acting tips but it proved awkward. </strong><br />Bale: “I always think it’s bad to try to alter anybody else’s experience. Apart from that, it’s not my job. That’s the director’s job. And I love very much working with actors who either have no experience or very little experience. I like to try to avoid getting any technique into my acting because I feel like the more known an actor gets, you really have to be exceptional to maintain that feeling of freshness and vitality and enthusiasm instead of falling back on your usual tricks.” </p>
<p><strong>Q: Steven Spielberg recommended you for the part after working with you years ago on “Empire of the Sun” when you were a child. Did working with kids on this movie take you back? </strong><br />Bale: “Some of the girls would say to me, ‘I would never want to act ever again in my life, this is it.’ And I would say to them, ‘That’s what I said. That’s exactly what I said when I was your age.’ The thing that I liked so much was the freshness that they brought in terms of this is something new but there’s no consideration of this being anything that they would continue with.” </p>
<p><strong>Q: The movie is set around an atrocity by the Japanese that rivals in brutality what the Nazis did in Europe. Why do you think the world hasn’t held the Japanese accountable? </strong><br />Zhang: “Maybe the international community doesn’t know much about Nanjing because China, at that time, was really far behind, and they didn’t have enough voice or power to actually speak out for themselves. For me, rather than arouse sad feelings, the goal of the movie is to make people see the good side of humanity and bring peaceful feelings to an audience.” </p>

        <td width="100%" valign="top"><div class="news-content"><p>Since not all of us are native English speakers, The National Public Radio released the transcript of Christian Bale&#8217;s interview to Scott Simon. You can hear the interview<a href="http://baleheads.blogspot.com/2012/01/christian-bale-flowers-of-war-on-npr.html"> here</a>, and the text is as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;Christian Bale plays a drifter in his new film. John Miller is no Batman. He&#8217;s an Oklahoma mortician by trade and a soldier of fortune in temperament who comes to do a bit of business in Nanjing formerly known as Nanking, China in 1937, just as the Japanese army invades and brutalizes the city.<br /><a name="more"></a></p>
<div><strong>(SOUNDBITE OF MOVIE, &#8220;THE FLOWERS OF WAR&#8221;)</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>CHRISTIAN BALE: </strong>(as John Miller) American from the refuge.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>UNIDENTIFIED MAN: </strong>(Foreign language spoken)</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>BALE: </strong>(as John Miller) American.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>UNIDENTIFIED MAN:</strong> (Foreign language spoken)</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>BALE: </strong>(as John Miller) Not soldier.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>(SOUNDBITE OF GUNSHOT)</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>SIMON:</strong> The Nanjing Massacre is one of the defining historical events of modern China. Women were particular victims of war crimes there. And in Christian Bale&#8217;s new film, &#8220;The Flowers of War,&#8221; an unlikely group of women are also heroes. And his character discovers a sense of purpose. The film is China&#8217;s Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language film. It was made for a reported $100 million by the director Zhang Yimou.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Christian Bale, who is perhaps best-known for playing Batman and, of course, won an Academy Award last year for &#8220;The Fighter,&#8221; joins us from Beverly Hills, California.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks so much for being with us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>BALE:</strong> Thank you.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>SIMON:</strong> In a sense, is this role a return to China for you?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>BALE: </strong>I didn&#8217;t feel like that. You know, I mean, you&#8217;re talking about when I was 13 I made &#8220;Empire of the Sun&#8221; in Shanghai.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>SIMON:</strong> Right. The Steven Spielberg in 1987. But that feels like such another lifetime to me. And I was very interested to work with Zhang Yimou, who&#8217;s a phenomenally accomplished director. And it&#8217;s not very often that you get an opportunity to work on a movie that&#8217;s, you know, 60 percent in Mandarin made within China and get to experience that entirely different culture of filmmaking.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have to ask, Mr. Bale, how do you react to the charge some reviewers and people in the film industry have made that this whole huge expensive film was kind of a part of a Chinese government effort to soften its image?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>BALE:</strong> I think that, for me, I mean, obviously, I had no interest in making a movie with that in mind whatsoever. You know, I always do say that, you know, once you&#8217;re within a movie it&#8217;s a little hard. Sometimes you can&#8217;t see the wood for the trees, but I really assessed this one, and I can&#8217;t bring myself to come to agree with it in any way whatsoever. And knowing Yimou, I do not think that he would ever have any interest in entertaining that at all. <a href="http://christian-bale.org/2012/01/23/christian-bale-tpr-interview-transcipt/#more-2317" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</a></div>

        <td width="100%" valign="top"><div class="news-content"><p><strong>CS: How did you get Christian Bale involved with starring in it? He obviously had just been nominated for an Oscar at the time and this should get a larger Western audience due to his involvement. Did he have an English script for his part? </strong><br /> Zhang: At the beginning, I gave the English script to Steven Spielberg, a friend of mine, and asked him who he thought would be good for the part and he made a few suggestions&#8211;Christian was one of them&#8211;and then later, I asked the producers David Lindley and Bill Kong, who all recommended him as well as other candidates. When I spoke with Christian, he showed the most enthusiasm towards this project and we clicked right away even though there was the language barrier, but we felt like we could work on the same page and have the same skills working together. That&#8217;s how I got Christian Bale. One element that brought us together is that he likes to fine-tune the characters throughout the whole script. He knows that a lot of directors probably don&#8217;t want to change the wording of the script, so he was asking me if I was willing to change that and I said, &#8220;This is how I like to work. I like to change things and make it better and better over time, maybe even literally a day before shooting for that scene.&#8221; Throughout the whole process, Christian literally helped to shape the John Miller character the way he is right now and make the character a better character. </p>
<p><strong>CS: I&#8217;ve heard that about Christian from other directors, that he&#8217;s very involved in developing the script and characters, but how was it working with an American in another language? I believe this is the first time you&#8217;ve directed an American actor. </strong><br /> Zhang: Before shooting, I actually spent tons of time with Christian, talking about the script and what has to be changed. Of course, the plot and the structure of the characters but fine-tuning the details, and literally two hours before shooting every day, we got together again just adding more details or editing out details, and that was pretty much the process. Just a lot of communication back and forth months before the production takes place and every single day before we start the scene. Christian is very humble and always asked what I wanted and then he gave me a few options as well to let me choose from. </p>
<p> <strong>CS: What about dealing with the issue of having known actors like Christian Bale who everyone will know and mixing them with unknown actors while trying to find the best cast? <br /> </strong>Zhang: Actually,<strong> </strong>the older actresses that played prostitutes, they know Christian really well because they saw Batman and his previous works, so they were really nervous on the film set working with him because they knew how big a star he was. But eventually over time, he gets along with people and they don&#8217;t get as nervous as they do in the beginning. As for the younger girls, who are 12 and 13, they had no idea who he was, because they really hadn&#8217;t seen that many movies, maybe none, and they were too young to watch many of his movies anyway, so they just thought he was an American hanging out on the set. They would tease him, they&#8217;d play and make faces with him, they laugh with him, and were very relaxed around him. In terms of the crews, we definitely had to make an English call sheet, which we&#8217;d never done before and nobody knew how that was done, and Christian doesn&#8217;t even look at call sheets, but we had to make it. Also, calling out the orders had to be done in English like &#8220;Action,&#8221; &#8220;back to 1,&#8221; &#8220;roll camera, roll sound,&#8221; all those sorts of things which also were challenging for me because I had never done that before, but I learned every phase and I said it on set so everyone understood. Actually, we were so used to the English phrases after Christian left that we were still using English phrases for another few months. </p>

        <td width="100%" valign="top"><div class="news-content"><p><strong>This is the first time you’ve worked with a Chinese director. How did making this film compare to Hollywood?</strong><br /> ‘The workload is immense – any American crew would be stunned. I’ve never been involved in any movie where sound stages have been constructed just for that particular movie. The speed at which things were constructed was phenomenal. A hotel was built just for the crew members on the movie. A cathedral was built by the production designer that was concrete – it’s very rare to build such a structure for a movie. But Yimou has a very loyal crew and he’s very good to them, so they love him.’</p>
<p><strong>Were there any cross-cultural hiccups?</strong><br /> ‘Obviously you’re dealing with language, cultural differences and varying approaches to acting which is quite funny. It always amuses me that people act differently depending on which country you’re in. In America, as time goes on, acting styles develop and fall in and out of fashion, but for me, with every single movie that I’ve worked on, you have to adapt to the style of the director, trying to understand him to see if you’re on the same plate.’</p>
<p><strong>Can you predict how the film will be received in the West?</strong><br /> ‘I’m useless at predicting how any movie ever goes down. I know that American audiences generally don’t like subtitles too much, so we’ll see. I did [the film] because I wanted to work with Yimou, I liked the idea of making a Chinese movie and seeing how that went. As for me being astute in any sense – people have been asking me about markets but I have no clue, I don’t think about it. Somebody just told me that’s it’s going to be on 8,000 screens [in China] and I didn’t know 8,000 screens existed in a single country. No doubt it’s going to do all right here.’</p>
<p><strong>This is the second film you’ve worked on that’s been set in China. What do you remember of your time here filming Empire of the Sun?</strong><br /> ‘We filmed that in Shanghai, and I only went to Shanghai for one night while I was doing this [Flowers]. Construction, that’s the big thing. These cities are just appearing all over China at an incredible rate and Shanghai looked nothing like I remembered it. It’s an enormous metropolis with neon-lit skyscrapers now, which it wasn’t at all back then. The streets used to be filled with thousands and thousands of bicycles, and now it’s all cars. That experience feels like a different lifetime for me.’</p>

<p>Film star Christian Bale found himself on the run from Chinese authorities after he attempted to meet with detained human rights activist Chen Guangcheng with help from CNN’s international news team. The plan went awry when guards began aggressively pushing Bale away, which CNN all caught on tape.</p>
<p>Bale was in the country for the premiere of The Flowers of War, the most expensive Chinese film ever made, and was attempting to highlight the plight of the blind human rights activist held in his home for 15 months, when Chinese police began roughing him up.</p>
<p>“We’re trying to get out of here,” a CNN reporter exclaims. “We’ve been stopped. Stopped right here and as you can see, they’re pushing Christian here, trying to leave peacefully.”</p>
<p>As Bale and the CNN news team began to leave, the Chinese guards gave chase in their car.</p>

<div> </div>
<div>The star of &#8216;The Flowers Of War&#8217;, the Oscar winning &#8220;Batman&#8221; actor gave an exclusive interview to our reporter. Before the interview with Bale, Zhang Yimou specifically told reporters that this is a rare opportunity since Bale is leaving tomorrow (14th), and there are a lot of things to ask him.</div>
<div><a name="more"></a></div>
<div><strong>China Daily</strong>: Yesterday I saw you on the red carpet with your wife. Has she already seen the movie?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Bale</strong>: She hasn&#8217;t seen the movie; I&#8217;ve only seen it once myself. I watch a movie specifically to see the performances, like a spectator. I don&#8217;t want to hear other people&#8217;s evaluation of a scene or be influenced by others. It&#8217;s not the time for my wife to see the movie yet. She&#8217;s always very supportive of me, in anything I do.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>China Daily</strong>: In &#8216;The Flowers of War&#8217; you have a beard which you shave off afterwards. Does it bother you?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Bale</strong>: I don&#8217;t feel bad about it, because I often grow a beard. My daughter likes it, so I often leave it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>China Daily</strong>: China Daily reported yesterday that when you were shooting the film, you had a tour in the Xi&#8217;an Terracotta Warriors. Now that you are in China for a long time, how is your interest in Chinese culture?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Bale</strong>: In my opinion, every country would be interested in this country&#8217;s culture. &#8216;The Flowers of War&#8217; was shot it Lishui, Jiangsu, a place relatively far from the city. As for tourism, we visited a few places. I visited Beijing for a couple of days, and also went to Terracotta Warriors in Xi&#8217;an to read, but I only spent 6 hours there. <a href="http://christian-bale.org/2011/12/15/christian-bale-interviews-with-china-daily/#more-2222" class="more-link">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</a></div>
