Director Peter Chan Discusses “Jiaoyuan Lane” Being Shortlisted for Cannes
On April 12, renowned director Peter Chan attended an event where he shared his thoughts on his new film “Jiaoyuan Lane” being shortlisted for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Chan expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to showcase his work on an international stage, especially during the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France.
“It is an honor to be able to communicate with friends from all over the world in this special year,” Chan remarked. “This film tells a story of a special era, and I am excited to share it with audiences worldwide.” While the specific release date for the film has yet to be determined, Chan assured fans that “Jiaoyuan Lane” will definitely hit theaters later this year.
When asked about the cast of the film, Chan mentioned that scheduling has been a challenge due to everyone’s busy schedules. He also discussed working with acclaimed actress Zhang Ziyi, who has been involved in the project for nearly a decade.
“Ziyi has always been dedicated to her role in this film,” Chan said. “She approaches the script with rationality, but as soon as she steps in front of the camera, she transforms into a completely different person. Her ability to delve into her character with such sensibility is truly remarkable.”
As anticipation builds for the release of “Jiaoyuan Lane,” fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the film and its cast. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
