On September 4, the premiere of the Russian-Chinese detective action film “Red Silk” took place at the main cinema of China Film Group in Beijing — China Film International Cinema. The film will be released nationwide in China on September 6. Alina Kabaeva, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of National Media Group, attended the premiere in China.
A large-scale promotional campaign has already begun in China, and anticipation for the release is high — especially since the film touches on the shared history of Russia and China. The distributor of the film in China is the country’s largest film corporation, China Film Group.
In China, “Red Silk” has been granted the status of a national film.
The movie explores the relationship between China and the USSR in 1927. A journey aboard the Trans-Siberian Express carries secret documents that could change the course of history. Among ordinary passengers hide foreign spies and ruthless mercenaries, ready to do anything to seize the documents. A young Red Army soldier and a former tsarist agent must join forces to uncover their common enemy.
Special attention was given to recreating the atmosphere of the era. Filming took place both in Russia and China, with spectacular action scenes shot entirely at Hengdian World Studios — the world’s largest film studio. The actors performed most of their own stunts, adding realism and tension to the on-screen action. The sets and costumes stand out for their meticulous attention to historical detail.
The train interiors were filmed in a studio featuring life-sized railway cars. For these scenes in Moscow, the production built Europe’s largest virtual set screen. And to create the effect of the surrounding environment, a controllable artificial sky was built, assembled from 70 lighting devices.
On September 4, the film was presented at the premiere in Beijing by the film's executive producer Vadim Birkin, director Andrei Volgin, screenwriter Maria Nefedova, cinematographer Maxim Mikhanyuk, actors Milos Bikovich, Svetlana Chuikina, Zheng Hanyi, Yang Zhihua, Huang Haonan, as well as producers Yang Yang and Dmitry Liu. NMG CEO Svetlana Balanova also attended the premiere.
The premiere was attended by the following representatives from China: Shen Haixiong, head of China Media Group; representatives of the management of China Film Group, the film's distributor in China, including Chairman Fu Zhaocin, CEO Li Xianzheng, and other top managers of the company; Mao Yu, head of China Film Group; and other representatives of the Chinese media industry.
