A meet-and-greet for new Chinese romance film "Land of Broken Hearts" was held in Beijing on Wednesday.
Its director Wen Shipei, producer Ning Hao and leading actors such as Zhu Yilong and Qiu Tian attended the event and spoke their minds to the public.
The movie is about a man who suspects himself living in a film, and then regains the capacity to understand and feel the emotion of love after meeting his mysterious roommate.
At the event, Zhu shared his original intention to act in the movie.
"What I care about is the movie itself. So, every time I read a script, I don't make other plans or have some utilitarian ideas. Whether I like the character in the script or not, and if I want to create more based on the story are the starting point for me [to decide if I've like to participate in the film]," said Zhu.
Apart from being the leading actor, Zhu also serves as a co-producer in this film. Ning, who is the main producer of the movie, was impressed by Zhu's working performance.
"I think Yilong, first of all, is a creative actor. He not only focuses on acting or doing whatever the director says. He has put a lot of his own creativities into the film, not just in acting but in many aspects that has improved the movie," said Ning.

The China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum is expected to bring new vitality to the global development and human civilization, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro in Beijing.
Petro, who delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum on Wednesday, told China Media Group (CMG) in an interview, while giving a special mention of the importance of the forum as a platform to reshape multilateralism.
"This Forum, held here in China, comes at a pivotal moment in history. And that's precisely what makes it so significant. It is taking place at a time when multilateralism is in urgent need of reshaping. There are some powers who believe they can rule the world through intimidation and shows of force. But with China and Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries standing together, we must make them understand: history is full of hard lessons. Those who once flexed their military might did not prevail. They may have enjoyed momentary success in the past, but this time, history will not repeat itself," he said.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-CELAC Forum's operation.
Chinese President Xi Jinping stated in his speech delivered at the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum that under the careful cultivation of both sides over the past 10 years, the China-CELAC Forum has grown from a tender sapling into a towering tree.
Petro hailed the relations between China and LAC countries over the past decade, saying that the cooperation is expected to energize the global development and human civilization.
"Yes, exactly, a tree. A strong and thriving tree, with deep and well-developed roots firmly anchored in the earth. There's no doubt that over the past ten years, trade in physical goods between China and LAC countries has grown substantially. China is involved in building the Bogota metro project. China is also constructing a port in Peru, and many other large-scale infrastructure projects are being advanced through Chinese investment and engineering expertise. When we link the cultural and civilizational threads of China and LAC countries, it's as if we are nurturing a living tree, one that grows tall toward the sky and promises to bring new vitality to the human civilization," he said.
