"Terminator: Genesis" starring Emilia Clark recently accepted an exclusive interview with Time.com
Time.com Los Angeles News In recent years, Emilia Clark, who has become popular all over the world for the "Game of Thrones" series, can be said to be a rising star in the UK. She was affectionately called "Dragon Mom" by Chinese movie fans. She was born in London, England in 1987 and grew up in Berkshire. Emilia's father is a sound recorder. When young Emilia was 3 years old, after watching the musical stage play "The Boat Show" in which her father participated for the first time, she became interested in performance, and since then she had the idea of becoming an actor.
After graduating from the London Drama Centre, Emilia got her first role in "The Trinitary of the Horror". But this is just the first test of the waters that is irrelevant. After that, this "British chick" finally ushered in a heavyweight work that changed her acting career - the TV series "Game of Thrones".
In fact, at the age of 24, it is very lucky to usher in the peak of your career. Once this medieval epic fantasy TV series adapted from the fantasy novel of American writer George R.R. Martin was widely praised and attracted a large number of loyal drama fans. Among them, the role of "Dragon Mother" Danielle Targaryen, played by Emilia Clark in the play, was exclaimed by the audience for her long silver hair, fair skin and unconventional temperament, "It's so amazing!" For a time, "Dragon Mother" fans were all over the world, and this "British girl" also truly came out of the UK and became a new star that attracted the attention of the world. With this role, Emilia was nominated for Best Supporting Actress twice.

As it is well known to the audience on the big screen, Emilia has gradually opened up her own film path. In 2013, Emilia joined hands with "British actor" Jude Law in the comedy movie "Don Hemingway". But just like meeting Game of Thrones on the stage of a TV series, this "little beauty" seems to be as smooth as she is in her "big screen journey", which makes people sigh that Hollywood's "British trend" is coming. On December 14, 2013, Emilia was revealed to be selected for "Terminator 5" and will perform on the same stage with Hollywood veteran actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing the heroine Sarah Conner. Since then, Emilia has quickly started her Hollywood career, and has a very high starting point. The first time she became the protagonist was a famous series. The film was released in the United States on July 1 and will be available on the Chinese big screen on August 23.
After "Terminator: Genesis", Emilia will try more genres of movies. She will star in the love film "I Want You Good" with new generation actor Sam Claflynn (Love You, Rosie) and star in the thriller film "Voice from the Stone" with New Zealand hard-core actor Malton Sox. I believe that since Terminator: Genesis knocked on the door to Hollywood for it, Emilia will have more works. After Game of Thrones, the "British Chick"'s big screen journey has just begun.
A few days ago, Time Network conducted an exclusive interview with "Dragon Mom" Emilia Clark, talking about the highlights of "Terminator: Genesis" and the process of obtaining the drama contract. It can be seen that Emilia has put in a lot of effort to win the role of this film, and she stood out among the actors to win the heroine in this heavyweight series of film history. Emilia's love for this character is beyond words. During the interview, she repeatedly praised the film for its advanced theme and full story of the characters. In the interview with
, Emilia also talked about the upcoming filming of "Game of Thrones" Season 6. This is her sixth year as Daenerys. She said she is also full of expectations and wants to know what danger will come to "Dragon Mother".During the entire interview, Emilia's every move revealed her love for the profession of actors. Performance was a "enjoyment" for her.
■The highlights of the new works of the "Terminator" series: the return of the governor + the transformation of the baby + the playtime line
Time Network: With the release of "Terminator: Genesis" worldwide, you have to go around the world to promote it. How does this feel for you?
Emilia Clark: For me, this publicity journey is a brand new experience. I have participated in many promotional activities for Game of Thrones, but this is the first time that cross-border publicity, which feels amazing. I like traveling, so although there are always notifications, which are not that easy, I am still quite happy.
Time Network: In "Terminator: Genesis", you play the heroine Sarah Conner. In the first two episodes of the Terminator series, this important role is starred by Linda Hamilton. What do you feel about participating in a series of movies with such a rich history?
Emilia plays the heroine Sarah Connor in "Terminator: Genesis"
Emilia Clark: Sarah Connor has always been a very important role in the "Terminator" series, especially taking on the love role in it. In previous stories, Kyle Rees had to return to the past to save her. But in the new film, this time it was Sarah Connor who took the other hand to save him—and she did it. I think this reversal is quite interesting. On the one hand, we strive to preserve the essence of Cameron's original works, so there are many parts in the film that pay tribute to "Terminator" and "Terminator 2"; but on the other hand, it is 2015 after all, and we also strive to add some new things to the original story and character structure so that new actors (such as me) can better integrate into the entire story background and exert their personal qualities, so that the audience may feel more rich content in the characters they know and love.
Time Network: One of the factors that made the success of the "Terminator" series is that the film can always blend the threats that exist in our real world with the entire story (such as the fear of the nuclear crisis), and this new work explores more in-depth science and technology that is difficult to distinguish from our daily lives. What do you think about this?
Emilia Clark: I really like this part of the theme of the video. Maybe I will be the same as the audience, stop and think about my lifestyle and re-examine the relationship between technology and life. The technological level of our era has reached an incredible level when we think about it. It has many benefits, but perhaps just like what the video reveals, there may be some disadvantages.
Time Network: "Terminator: Genesis" introduces the creativity of changing the timeline, which solves the problem of "why does the Terminator's appearance grow old". Will changing the timeline remind you of those "unselected paths" in your life?
Emilia Clark (nod): This is a question that almost everyone will think of - what if I didn’t choose A but B, then what would happen? But I am the type who firmly believes that I can’t learn from my mistakes. Through constant trial and error, you will learn more. Maybe when you make a decision, the results are bad now, but what about three years later? Maybe you will get unexpected gains, and maybe this is something that you can't get without making mistakes before.
■The magical audition of "Terminator: Genesis": Clark personally participated in the "Selective Husband"
Time Network: Can you talk about your audition process for "Terminator: Genesis"?
Emilia partner Arnold Schwarzenegger
Emilia Clark: At the beginning, I sat down with producers David Ellison and Dana Goldberg for a while, listened to them stating the outline of the film, and then gave me a simple audition. Then they sent me some different materials, and I guess they wanted to see the different aspects of ‘Sarah’.A few weeks later, I received a call, and this was a long review I had never encountered before - of course, maybe because when you are too committed and want to get this opportunity, you will feel that it is a very long time. (Laughs) After that, they asked me to go back and participate in the audition for Kyle Rees. There were about 9 or 10 different actors, and I played opposite them. This is another wonderful experience that you have to work hard to explore and seek chemistry with the other person in a very short time. It feels a bit like your first date was photographed. The most fun thing about it is that the lens captures something you have never discovered yourself.
Time Network: "Terminator: Genesis" director Alan Taylor and you have worked with you in "Game of Thrones". What do you think of this reunion?
Emilia Clark: I feel that our "honeymoon period" has been extended, haha. I think Allen is one of those directors who can overlook the full picture of the film. He will not be restrained by the so-called limitations of TV production or freedom of film production. He will make comprehensive considerations about the film. And Allen is good at inspiring actors and helping you break through yourself. ”
■About the fate of the Dragon Mother in the new season of "Game of Thrones": "I'm quite anxious too"
Time Network: "Game of Thrones" Season 6 will be launched soon. Can you tell us the current preparations?
Emilia Clark plays the "Dragon Mother" Daniellis in "Game of Thrones"
Emilia Clark: We usually receive the first four first The rest will be received in a week. After all ten episodes, the filming will officially start. We have never started filming hastily before reading the ten episodes. This is very good. This means you can have enough time to understand the plot and enter the role. Because whether it is TV or movies, you can often not shoot linearly according to the plot. This is especially true for "Game of Thrones". There are always two huge teams of people filming in two countries at the same time. It is not okay to not understand the whole plot in advance.
Time Network: Season 5 Daenerys and Dosla again The Kerks reunite, but it seems a bit unpredictable.
Emilia Clark: I think we have just turned a complete circle - the Kalasa tribe is the starting point for Daenerys to gain strength, so her return seems to be a good sign, but the Dothraks don't look friendly and show no signs of hugging Kalixi with "love arms". So in general, I think that in front of Daenerys is another mountain that needs to be climbed, but I'm afraid she won't be as smooth as before. This is my starring Dan In Nellys' sixth year, I became extremely close to the cast and crew, especially screenwriters David Benioff and Dan Weiss. After you play a role for so long, you can't help but breathe and share the fate with her. After the end of the fifth season, I was also very anxious and wanted to know what will happen next. As an actor, this feeling is very enjoyable.
Note: Time Network will also bring interviews with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the starring "Terminator: Genesis" and more main creators, so stay tuned.
