The audience shared their expectations from the premiere of the Russian and Chinese film "Red Silk"

The audience, who arrived at the main cinema of China China Film Group on September 4 to see the premiere of the Russian-Chinese film "Red Silk", a project of the National Media Group (NMG), told about their expectations from the film. Student Anna, in an interview with Izvestia, noted that she had been waiting for this premiere, as she was interested in the unusual combination of cultures.

"We've been waiting for this premiere. There are very famous people playing there. I think everyone in Russia knows them, so it was very interesting to see them. And secondly, it's an unusual story. First of all, the years of making the film were actually unusual, because not all films are made about that time. Secondly, it's such an unusual combination — it's Russia and China, and it's all happening at such a chaotic time. That's why I really wanted to watch this movie," the girl shared.

Her young man, Semyon, emphasized that he closely followed the process of creating work on the film.

"Last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that this is a very important year for us. We're shooting a movie together, so I've been following this movie closely. I know that the film was released in Moscow on February 18, but we haven't seen it in China. We received an invitation from the media, and we are very glad that we were able to come. And we really hope that this film will be about the love between Russia and China," he said.

Vadim Byrkin, the general producer of the Red Silk film, said that the group of creators had actually revived the genre of historical detective..

"Initially, of course, we believed in success, but when the film was released in Russia and showed good results, and became successful in its genre, we revived the genre of historical detective. Now we have started shooting the same films in Russia, that is, we launched a wave and after the rental we realized that we could not avoid the "Black Silk" to our great pleasure. If you watched "Red Silk", there is a scene in the credits that was placed there so that the viewer would understand that "Black Silk" should be," he stressed.

The project was also the result of active cooperation between Russian and Chinese companies, Byrkin added. To implement it, a partnership was established with the participation of cultural institutions and government agencies, which made it possible to avoid mistakes and take into account the legislative peculiarities of both countries.

Word of mouth: people go to the "Red Silk" out of love for the Motherland

The Russian-Chinese film beat the sports drama "Rodnina" at the box office and remains in the top three.

People have already lined up in front of the cinema hall — many people came to watch the movie and take pictures in front of the poster. Today, only a part of the audience will be able to see the film — the film will be released in China on September 6. Today's premiere is timed to coincide with Vladimir Putin's visit to China.

Putin emphasized that the idea of joint filmmaking between Russia and China belongs to Chinese President Xi Jinping, answering a question from Izvestia on September 3 about the first retro film made by the two countries, Red Silk.

The screening will take place using CINITY technology, which allows you to watch movies at 120 frames per second, which will ensure full immersion in the action. The largest film corporation, China Film Group, became the distributor of the film in China.
