Three years after the highly successful reception of his film Superchondriac, Dany Boon was back in China to present R.A.I.D. Special Unit, accompanied by his co-star Alice Pol.

With a packed program including a press conference, media interviews, a screening held at the Institut Français, a round table discussion, and a meeting with China Film Corp's chairman La Peikang, the French actor-director made the most of his visit and enthusiastically gave his time to meet with Chinese audiences.

The opening ceremony of the French Film Festival in China—which is held in parallel with the Beijing International Film Festival, at which Jean Reno was a jury member this year—also attracted the presence of other key figures from the French film and television sector, notably the producers Sylvie Pialat, Charles Gillibert, Yann Zenou, Frédéric Jouve, and Benoît Quainon, as well as Frédérique Bredin, president of the CNC, and Jean-Paul Salomé, president of UniFrance.
