Lee Isaac Chung on Minari & Telling His Story in Film | The Daily Show

Isaac Chung, welcome to The Daily Social Distancing Show.

Isaac Chung，歡迎來到《每日社交距離秀》。

Thank you so much, Trevor.

非常感謝，Trevor。

So good to be with you.

很高興能和你在一起。

Um, let's start with congratulations.

嗯，我們先來祝賀一下。

Your film has been nominated for six Academy Awards, which is-- I mean, it's huge to be nominated for one, but this is six in some of the most prestigious categories ever.

你的電影獲得了六項奧斯卡提名，這——我是說，獲得一項提名就已經很了不起，但這可是六項，而且是在一些最負盛名的類別中。

And what makes it even more impressive is, just a few years ago, you were thinking about quitting filmmaking so you could get a "real job."

更令人印象深刻的是，就在幾年前，你還在考慮放棄電影製作，去找一份“正經工作”。

That's right.

沒錯。

Uh, yeah, you know, I-I told myself, by the time I hit 40, if-if nothing's happening, I have to really grow up and-and, uh, take on a responsible job.

呃，是的，你知道，我告訴自己，等到四十歲時，如果還沒什麼起色，我就必須真正成熟起來，找份負責任的工作。

So, for me, that was becoming a professor.

所以對我來說，那就是成為一名教授。

Uh, and I signed on to become a professor, and I had a few months to write a script.

嗯，我簽約成為教授，只有幾個月時間寫劇本。
