China, Pakistan to shoot movie on trade cooperation

[BHarwana]

QINGDAO, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Filmmakers from China and Pakistan announced Thursday that they will jointly produce a movie on international trade cooperation along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The movie named "The Journey" will tell stories of Chinese businesses participating in the construction of the corridor in response to the Belt and Road Initiative, said Wang Haiping, director of the scriptwriting committee of the China Television Artists Association.

"The intimate friendship of the people from the two countries will be highlighted in the movie," he said at the ongoing first Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) film festival in Qingdao, Shandong Province.

Wang, also scriptwriter of the movie, said the movie will be based on real life stories.

Chinese and Pakistani parties will cooperate in scriptwriting, shooting, post-production, and screening of the movie, according to Wang.

Shooting is expected to start in early 2019.

As a major cultural exchange activity following the recent SCO summit in Qingdao, a five-day SCO film festival has attracted films produced in the past two years by 12 countries, including 23 vying for the film awards and 55 slated for screening.

This is a very good cooperation. and i believe China and Pakistan will have more cooperation in culture.

Of course, for me, I prefer to have Pakistan actors to develop their careers in China.

yes amir khan's two films were huge success there , but bahubali and salman's sultan were big money earners .

If we're lucky, this could kick-start a trend in which Pakistanis will prefer Chinese films to Hindustani ones.

that's good idea , but you have to dub chinese films in to urdu .
but on a large scale pakistanis would prefer indian films , even chinese see indian films which brings a lot of forex reserve to india to the tune of billions of rupees .
