This year’s Beijing Film Festival red carpet was star-studded, including “Journey Through the Moon ”, “Hourglass ”, “The Love That Never Lost Connection”, “Looking for the Yue Lao in 1999”, “” "Stop and Go " and other crews appeared on the red carpet.
director Peter Chan appeared on the red carpet with the movie " Jiang Yuan Nong ", which had previously announced a new lineup. In an interview with reporters, he said that "Jiang Yuan Lane" is a very legendary story with a long time span and tells the story of a woman's troubled life. Because it spans multiple eras and has many characters who interact with this woman, there are many excellent actors and good characters in the film. Chen Kexin said that after the film is released, the audience will see that the actors in the film have subversive images, styles and roles, which will be in great contrast with their previous images: "There are so many characters, and I am very lucky to have found many good ones. Actors, actors I wanted to work with but haven’t, and very young actors. In different roles, I also discovered many good new generation actors. "

In addition, actors Hu Ge and Gao Yuanyuan attended this year's Beijing Film Festival with "Stop and Go". The film has been shortlisted for the main competition unit. Hu Ge and Gao Yuanyuan both said that "Stop and Go" is a movie full of laughter and warmth. Hu Ge said that this time he played a shining "old iron": "It is difficult for an actor to shuttle between different roles in a relatively short period of time. You must fully trust the director, trust the screenwriter, and love the script. "When asked about how the audience wants you to do more business and what are the criteria for selecting roles, Gao Yuanyuan said: "I am very touched and inspired. There are still audiences who look forward to me as an actor. This also reminds me that there is still something in my heart. There is a lot of passion. Regarding the selection of roles and scripts, I am actually very emotional, (what I see is) the moment I am moved."
