Can someone please explain that little dragon guy (the stuffie Keanu's playing with)? It's cute, but where did it come from? Why's he playing with it?

Anita, Tiger Chen or K bought the dragon in Hangzhou. It's the mascot of the city. They are promoting MOTC in several cities of China (one per day) Hangzhou was the first after the Shanghai Film Festival. It seems like they take Long Long (yeah it's his name :) everywhere, in events, cars, plane, hotel...

Tiger Chen posts the photos in his Chinese twitter http://t.qq.com/tigerchen315

Thanks, Karamelle! I love the photos, they're adorable. Tiger seems to be a good influence on Keanu, bringing out his playful side. It's good to see.

Who ever would have imagined that a 48 year old Keanu would indulge in playing with a stuffie? That's so damn cute, and my respect for him grows.

ok, this is the google translation from Russian so its rough, but a lot of very keanu ideas and well I just love him to pieces.

Interview with SW: Dark energy is a form of energy

SW: What prompted you to add to the actor's work as a director?
Keanu Reeves: Very simply, we Chen Hu wanted to tell you a story. He first came to me with the idea of ​​the film. We have known since 1997 when I started training in martial arts for shots and Tiger is constantly accompanied me. He taught me how to move, fight, we became good friends. And I wanted to continue working with him.
Chen Hu - a master of martial arts. He was still a teenager when he became the champion in Tai Chi, and it has a traditional and modern side. I wanted to write a story for him. "Tai Chi Master" - this is the story of the Tiger.
Writing the script took more than five years, and I'm more and more anxious to become the director of this film. I want to not only be part of the industry, but also to create their own work itself.

SW: So, the "Tai Chi Master" - a modern fashion plus plus kung fu?
Keanu Reeves: Well, it is a modern martial art, woven into modern history. We Chen Hu hailed the film some new interpretations, such as the positive and negative energy, energy conversion, energy management, meditation, the ability to give and take and so on.
The hero of the film works as a courier, lives in Beijing, every day, goes to work and then home, must come to the parents once a week for a family dinner. On the other hand, he is in a league of martial arts training with his teacher. Each of us have a lot of parties, where we work, our public face and a private space. I hope that this role will have sympathy for people.

SW: Recently, a very fashionable concept of "positive or positive energy." What do you mean by positive energy?
Keanu Reeves: Well, for example, even something as simple as what gives positive energy and good mood to yourself and others. Dark energy is also often means injury. But the destruction of the dark energy is essentially a part of creation which reveals some things even more, such as forest fires have their advantages. Sometimes the enemy - is our best teacher, people can learn from their mistakes. Sometimes destruction means rebirth. Tai Chi - is the transformation of the concept of Yin and Yang, and there is no place condemnation.

SW: How would you describe the Chen Hu, in addition to his mastery of martial arts?
Keanu Reeves: He's very patient, simple, bold, with a sense of humor. He is able to inspire me, smart, deep person and just a cool guy.

SW: Actor, director, producer ... How do you identify yourself?
Keanu Reeves: Oh, the problem of stamps ... Kinoshou - this is my sweet home, but I really enjoyed directing. I like to mess around with the lens, think through the story, the script, how to shoot scenes. I want to get to the depths of the process, discuss with the actors that today we shoot, how best to show our history, so that she could feel it. Action! Stop! Action! And once again, "encore!"

SW: How do you choose a movie? What are your requirements for the scenario, and roles?
Keanu Reeves: The script should be interesting to me, should overlap with the life and after reading must remain positive feeling.

SW: Where are you worried more about playing on stage or standing in front of the camera?
Keanu Reeves: On the stage, of course, much more. Theater - the art of the moment, live performance before an audience, a point not to repeat. Everyone remembers the movie, the actor and his game, but other than role players involved in the film editors, proofreaders, etc.. And on the stage until the curtain fell, the audience can only see the actor.

SW: Have you played on the stage in four performances. How would you describe your feelings?
Keanu Reeves: I was 17 when I first played the role on stage in Toronto in "Wolfboy", it was my first professional show. I auditioned many times, and when I was told that I got the part, you can imagine what kind of wild and unusual excitement I experienced. Then I played in "Hamlet." It was for me, how to climb the mountain. I think I played pretty well.

SW: You've played in "Much Ado About Nothing" Don John. Do you think that shaped this character?
Keanu Reeves: Don John Lone, hoping to find in the life of love and strength, but a jealous and vindictive towards people happy.

SW: Despite the popularity of your output, you do not appear in advertisements. You do not impress commercial videos? Or you are invited, but you resist?
Keanu Reeves: I'm a child was shot in the advertising of Coca-Cola and cornflakes, and then began working in film. I do not want to appear in the ads, which advertise something that I do not like it. Even at a very young age, I did not go to auditions to advertise products that I do not like. But cola and chips I liked.
Now advertising is quite different, not the same as before. As of today, we see advertised personal success. Almost all commercial movies take such a format. Actors shown in advertisements about how a certain brand can enhance self-esteem. This view is now, but I still belong to the "old school."

SW: Do you have a collection of motorcycles?
Keanu Reeves: I drive the English Norton. I have three bikes of the brand. You can buy such borrowings for about $ 8,500.

SW: They say you collect wine bottles spill September 2, 1964 (the day of your birth). Where are they from?
Keanu Reeves: My agent brought me home a gift for the 40th birthday. I do not drink a lot, and I can not drink for a long time. It may be the last thing I do in my life, I drink a bottle of wine?
