I learned from Du Qifeng's assistant Yuin Shan Ding that director Du Qifeng and the famous movie star Alain Delong are interested in cooperation. They met in Paris during this year's Cannes Film Festival and both showed their willingness to cooperate. However, the specific content and time of cooperation are still inconclusive.

The intention of cooperation was confirmed in May this year

There were media reports in China. Just as Du Qifeng held a press conference in Venice the day before yesterday for the new film Exile, a news that Du Qifeng would cooperate with Alan Delong appeared on an English website. According to the website, Alain Delong, a famous French movie star, said that he would return to the big screen this winter, and it was Hong Kong director Du Qifeng who collaborated with him. The article also said that Alan Delong and Du Qifeng met at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and had a preliminary intention of cooperation.

The reporter called Du Qifeng's assistant Yuin Shan Ding, who was in Venice and confirmed to the reporter that Du Dao and Alain Delong had met in Paris during the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. However, he denied that the two had specific plans for cooperation. "I just met and talked together, and I felt that I was willing to cooperate with each other, but there was no specific plan at all. All the reports about the title of the film and the starting time were not true."

Du Qifeng went to Paris for details in November

It is understood that when passing through Paris for Cannes in May this year, the French film distributor specially arranged for Du Qifeng to meet the 71-year-old international movie star Alain Delong. Alan Delong, who usually patronizes the high-end French restaurant in PlazaHotel, took the initiative to call the hotel to make a reservation and recommended his favorite food to Du Qifeng. Although the two met for the first time, Alan Delong said that he had already appreciated Du Qifeng very much, and during the dinner, he also took out the film "The Big Event" directed by Du Qifeng at the Cannes Film Festival last year, which greatly moved Du Qifeng. Two people in appreciate each other, more interested in cooperation in filming. Du Qifeng will go to Paris in November this year, and then we will talk about it in detail.

It is reported that on December 17th, 21, Alan Delong announced at a press conference held in Paris Hotel that he would "stop filming", indicating his intention to quit the international film industry. He has shot Zorro, black tulip and many other films before, and created a classic tough guy image in the film industry. After retiring from the film industry, he has been living in a villa on the outskirts of Paris, and he lives in seclusion on weekdays. In order to meet Du Qifeng, he spared no expense in travelling, and insisted on sending Du Qifeng and others back to the hotel to have a rest after dinner.
