You think Hollywood is everything, but it's not.

I've been acting in Hollywood for close to 30 years, and I would just be honest with you, is that there's very, very little opportunity for me.

I get really emotional when I talk about Taipei.

I really love how it has the combination between the traditional and also the modern part of Taipei.

So, my first question will be for Guilin Mei.

So, I also need to hold on to my nerves and be well-prepared.

I hope you can be as good as them on set.

You just mentioned a lot of scenes that we're familiar with.

Because I've seen a lot of scenes that are actually very popular in Taiwan.

You didn't find out that he came to Taiwan and caused a lot of people to ask him for an autograph?

But you didn't say you were filming this movie.

I feel like the information never leaked.

Yeah, maybe we never really talk about it.

How do you feel that Asian cultures are represented in Hollywood?

And do you think that Weekend in Taipei contributes to it?

I think it's changed a lot since I started representation in Hollywood.

I mean, it's gotten better, but still, there's a lot of work to do.

I've been acting in Hollywood for close to 30 years, and I would just be honest with you is that there's very, very little opportunity for me.

People, they recognize me from all over the world because of some of the movies like Fast and Furious, but the roles that I really want to do, roles that I feel like represent what I've been waiting to do as an actor, they just don't really exist in Hollywood.

So coming to Taipei, it reopened my mind and gave me hope that it's actually maybe outside of America that will give me opportunities.

It doesn't just have to be a specific Asian culture.

We can all kind of join forces and do a film in Taipei with a French crew, a Taiwanese crew.

There were people from all over the world that worked on this film, and I think it's just a great time.

And you think Hollywood is everything, but it's not today, and that's really inspiring.

How do you feel as a foreigner filming in Taiwan?

How do you feel the culture connect you with Taipei?

I get really emotional when I talk about Taipei because people call me Hangul.

And at first, I was like, what does that mean?

And automatically, the word Hangul is not just Sung Kang, or it's the actor guy.

It's brother, and that says everything about the people here, is they treat me like family.

Must be nice to see your fans, but they're not my fans here.

They're my brothers, sisters, older brother, uncle, auntie.

And I think that's just the spirit of the people here.

It's almost like how I feel when I go to Hawaii.

And when I first came here, White was going around by himself in the neighborhood, all by himself.

And I said, hey, we can't do that in Los Angeles.

What's wrong with them just leaving you alone like that?

But the reason Welly and his mother, Dina, is allowed to do that is because the people in Taipei, they protect each other.

And so it's a feeling of safety that very few places in the world have.

The fact that a little boy and a little girl can wander around at 12.30 and go to Lai Lai and eat by themselves, I mean, that's pretty amazing, right?

So as Taiwanese, we're actually very used to that.

So it's really sweet hearing from you that you think I'm calling you Hango is really sweet because in Taiwan, in our culture, it's more like a respect to address you.

And what would you say to be your favorite part filming in Taipei?

I do love that there is this old Taipei, this Seoul.

Again, this neighborhood, there's very modern buildings.

You can kind of see this wherever you go in the world, but I do love history.

And when you go to places like that, you know, you can't recreate that.

You know, that is history, that is Seoul, that's real.

I hope that part of Taipei doesn't go away.

Yeah, because that's still a huge part of Taiwanese life.

I have a huge, like, I'm really curious what does your friend or your family react when they know that you're going to be part of a Hollywood movie?

At school, I'm trying not to have, like, that big of a head, so I don't, like, go around telling everyone, hey, I'm in this movie.

But, I mean, of course, I tell, like, my close friends.

And yeah, yeah, I think it's pretty cool.

How did you keep the balance between the school and filming the movie?

I think, you know, my parents want me to have, like, kind of like a normal life, kind of.

I have a lot of catching up to do, so yeah.

Just now, we mentioned that you're wandering in Taipei City all by yourself.

Did you learn anything new about Taipei, no matter food-wise, culture-wise?

Yes, like, every day I go on my little scooter and I would just go around.

And yeah, I know, like, all the vendors and they know me and I kind of know their names and stuff.

I love that Taiwan, that you can do that because there's no, like, worry about kidnapping or guns or drugs or, like, just, like, nothing about that.
