In fact, as a director, you should let actors from different cultural backgrounds know the director's creative intention and understand your role. This in itself is not an easy thing. As far as you are concerned, Chen Kaige's ability to reconcile actors. Your company is much bigger than Zhang Yimou in The Great Wall, which may be why they are equally famous.
