00:00This time, Bingbing is the one who found the director.
00:04Yes.
00:05I asked my colleague,
00:07there is a very good director in Malaysia.
00:10His name is Zhang Jianan, do you know him?
00:12When I met him, I thought he was a very introverted person.
00:15He is definitely the type of director Bingbing admires.
00:20The type of man.
00:21The type of man.
00:30Hello, Malaysian media friends.
00:54Hello everyone, I am Bingbing.
00:55I didn't expect the three of us to wear the same color of earth.
00:59So big.
01:00Really, really.
01:01Really, it's so taciturn.
01:02When I entered the door, I was like,
01:04wow, how can it match this color so well?
01:07Yes.
01:08It's like the color of this movie.
01:09I was at the Singapore Film Festival,
01:11and then I came to Malaysia for some work.
01:13Then I asked my colleague,
01:15there is a very good director in Malaysia.
01:17Yes.
01:18His name is Zhang Jianan, do you know him?
01:20My colleague said,
01:21I can contact him.
01:24That's how we met.
01:25Then we chatted.
01:26I just think his movie is very good.
01:28When I arrived in Malaysia,
01:29I think I want to meet this person.
01:32What is he like?
01:33I was so curious.
01:35But we didn't talk about anything related to movies.
01:37Then there was such a fate.
01:39I think when I met him at the time,
01:41I think he is a very introverted person.
01:45A book with a lot of pages.
01:47But it's not very...
01:49Because there are a lot of people,
01:50he has read a lot of books,
01:51he wants to express himself.
01:52He wants to express his feelings.
01:56But he is not willing to...
02:00He is not very open.
02:01Yes.
02:02He is a book.
02:03He can put the book in his pocket.
02:05When you get more and more familiar with him,
02:08you will get his enthusiasm.
02:11So he is definitely the type of director Bingbing appreciates.
02:16The type of man.
02:17The type of man.
02:19I have seen the movie,
02:21and I want to talk to him about the characters in the movie and the story.
02:26Are you embarrassed?
02:28Actually, I was a little embarrassed to see you that day.
02:33Because we knew later.
02:35Because he came to Malaysia and only stayed for three days.
02:39He has three tasks.
02:41I only knew three tasks at that time.
02:43The first task was to meet Rohor Sudan.
02:47We met Rohor Sudan at that time.
02:49The second task was to meet the king, Liu Lian.
02:52The third task is to meet director Bingbing, right?
02:56Yes.
02:57Absolutely.
02:58The story is like that.
