Sergey Selyanov, the producer of “Space Rescue”, talked regarding the deep historical origin and traditional friendship between Russian and Chinese films. The Chinese-Russian co-production film “Genghis Khan” was very popular among Chinese audiences in the early years. He said that he is currently discussing in-depth films regarding children and the moon, and believes that Russian-style science fiction stories will also be loved by Chinese audiences. He said that he has been paying attention to the development of Chinese science fiction films, which have developed rapidly in recent years. Russia is also a country with a long history of sci-fi.
