From teenage stardom to cross-cultural diplomacy, French screen legend Sophie Marceau is blooming anew as the 6th Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIFF) ambassador! 🌹 The La Boum icon, often called the 'French Rose,' sat down with CGTN to discuss her unexpected bond with China spanning decades.
'Every visit feels like discovering new colors in a familiar painting,' Marceau revealed, her eyes sparkling like festival spotlights. 🎥 At 14, she charmed global audiences; now she's bridging continents through cinema diplomacy.
Why China? 'There's magic in how films here weave tradition into tomorrow's stories,' she said, recalling her first awe-inspiring trip to the Chinese mainland. Her HIFF role? 'A dance between cultures – where every frame can spark understanding.' 💃🕺
Millennial film buffs, take note: Marceau predicts VR and AI will revolutionize storytelling but insists 'the human heartbeat behind cameras remains irreplaceable.' 📱❤️
