EN: His films were constantly moving.
CN: 他电影都在动，几乎都在动。
EN: His fight scenes of course had a great influence on us. He brought out the beauty of the moves. The moves were not only combined with elements of Peking opera, but also choreographed like a dance.
CN: 他的武打动作，当然是对我们影响也很大，拍出了动作节奏的美感，把一个动作，不光是能够融会京剧的特色，而且还有一种像舞蹈这样的感觉。
EN: He didn't waste anything at all. He shot every corner, every weather condition and time of day. Rain, dawn, night, dusk. Everything. Inside and outside. Haunting, romance, ordinary, everyday life…
CN: 他一点都没有浪费，每一个角落他都拍到，每一个天色他都拍到，下雨、天亮、晚上、黄昏，全部内内外外，包括闹鬼。浪漫的、平常的、生活的。
EN: A good director can take a set, the same one… and shoot 10 scenes. 10 different atmospheres, 10 different times of day, 10 different… angles, different moods.
CN: 厉害的导演就是他可以把那个景，同一个景他拍十场戏，十场戏就是十种不同的气氛，十种不同的天色，十种不同的角度，不同的情绪。
EN: The women in his films are often heroines, like Heartthrob, Black Peony, Hot Pepper, and Tuberose. I love the interactions between these five girls and the justice league they created. They each use their different abilities to complete a mission.
CN: 你看他的电影里面的女性，常常都是女英雄，万人迷、黑牡丹、小辣椒、夜来香，我好喜欢那里面这五个女子的互动所做的这个正义联盟，用各种不同的特点去完成一个任务。
EN: In "Legend of the Mountain" and "Raining in the Mountain", I think what he wanted to present was the entire world of ancient Chinese culture. He became very ambitious. He wanted to present the entire culture. Cultured Chinese people love to be inspired by nature and search for meaning in it. He was such a cultured person.
CN: 《空山灵雨》、《山中传奇》的时候，我想他比较更想呈现的是一个整个中国古代文化的世界，他野心变得很大，想要把整体的文化表现出来，因为中国文人嘛，就是寄情于山水，寓意于广漠，他就是这样一个文化人。
EN: When you talk to him, you know, you feel his… He make a movie… not just a movie, not, "Action." "Cut". He want grand, very grand. Everything very, very grand. Because of his background, his culture, he understand what it makes to tell the story. From this corner to this corner, this corner to this corner. He knows everything. I think he was a cultured man. He wasn't just a director. He was an artist, an intellectual. A cultured man.
CN: 当你跟他讲话的时候,你会知道你可以感受到他拍电影不仅仅是拍电影而已，不是开机卡，他想要很宏伟的，非常宏伟的，所有的都是很宏伟的，因为他的文化背景。他知道怎么样去讲一个故事，从上到下，从北到南，他清楚所有的脉络，我认为导演就是一个文化人，不是一个单纯的一个导演，他就是一个艺术家，一个知识分子。
我跟了他三个月，他告诉我，拍电影要有视死如归的精神，我遵循他这个做法，不但没有死，还得奖。
EN: I followed him for three months. He told me that making a film is do or die. I followed his advice. Not only did I not die, I even won this award.
CN: 我跟了他三个月，他告诉我，拍电影要有视死如归的精神，我遵循他这个做法，不但没有死，还得奖。

A dot and horizontal line
A slash to the left
A cross beside a cross
The sun by the moon
CN:
一点一横长
一撇到南洋
十字对十字
日头对月亮
EN: Whatever he said, be it some random knowledge or casually mentioning something, whether about history, contemporary issues, astronomy or geography… Whatever it was, it felt like someone who had absorbed countless encyclopedias was sitting right beside you. He was knowledgeable and read very fast. We privately called him "Walking Dictionary".
CN: 他随便讲话，随便抛一点知识，随便那个提一些这个，不管历史 当代，或者是天文地理什么东西，好像是一个曾经吸收过无数百科全书知识的一个活生生的人坐在旁边，博学强记，他看书一目十行，我们私底下叫他活字典。
EN: People don't forget a master. And they'll miss him. You'll learn from him for the rest of your life. That's who King Hu was. Of course I'm willing to talk about him. Divorce is a personal matter. It doesn't affect my admiration for him. I hope in his next life, he can better tolerate the more worldly side of the industry, so making films can be easier for him. He was a pure artist. The kind you meet once or twice in a lifetime.
CN: 人对于大师是不会忘的，而且是会怀念的，而且他始终是你终身学习的对象，胡金铨就是这个样子，我当然是愿意谈他，分开是个人的事情，完全不影响我对他的推崇希望他下一辈子能够忍受一点那种世俗方面的东西，让他能够比较顺利地拍戏，绝对的艺术家一生难得碰到一两个。
