From “being unhandsome” to the first leading actor,

from “big nose” to the movie king  in national treasure level 

When it comes to the actor with perfect acting skills in French film industry, people will think of Cyrano De Bergerac, Gérard Depardieu at the first time.

"Big nose" not only is his first impression to people, but also is the name of his magnum opus——Cyrano De Bergerac.

By this well-known movie in France, Gérard Depardieu won the Best Actor in the 43rd Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar nomination for Best Actor, then he became an international film star. The audiences opinions about his performance are as below: Although his looks are very far from being handsome, however, his acting skills, acting power and his understanding of each character are very unique. Since then, “Cyrano De Bergerac” has become his proper noun.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Depardieu firmly occupied the leading actor position in France. Through his masterful characterization ability to act in romantic movie or historical play or comedy, Depardieu was able to to attract audiences from all walks of life to applaud for him.

In Cyrano De Bergerac, the affectionate and tragic poet Cyrano missed his love because of his inferiority complex......

In The Last Metro, under the shadow of Second World War, the actor Grange seemed to be amorous and humorous but daring to oppose the Nazis......(He won the Best Actor in the 6th French Caesar Award.)

In Camille Claudel, the famous sculptor Rodin has artistic talent but acting as “playboy” at the same time......

In Please shut up, the funny character Guenter is with kindly warm heart but a little stupid and naggish.......

From Fugitifs, Les, Jean De Florette, Hamlet, The Count of Monte Cristo, to La Vie En Rose, 102 Spotted Dogs, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Depardieu has been in more than 150 films since 19 years old when he began his acting career, becoming the most productive film star in Europe. 

Although without a pretty face, Depardieu has always been the darling of many famous film awards and film festivals.

He was nominated for 17 times at French Caesar Awards and won awards for two times.

In 1996, he even received the Medal of Chevalier which is the highest honor in France, deserving to be the national treasure movie king in French movie industry.

From the big country to the powerful one in film industry, 

from China towards the world.

It is known that France is the birthplace of film art and the distributing center of world movies.

This year, the box office of Wolf Warriors Ⅱ reached  nearly 5.7 billion, and Never Say Die reached more than 1.7 billion. It also predicts that china will become the world's largest film market.

Being big countries in film industry, China and France integrate effective co-production resources of two countries to break Hollywood films which dominates the world. It is the breakthrough to promote the film diversity, and is also one of the effective ways to help China film head for the world. Such a film superstar as Gerard Depardieu is exactly the powerful strength what we need.

Jean-Pierre Mocky is only a director, but also has multiple identities including actor, writer, producer and so on.
