The Unuudur Newspaper spoke to director of the ‘Creative Art Group’, B.Chinguun for the reason of Jean-Jacques Annaud’s arrival in Mongolia.
-Why has Jean-Jacques Annuad arrived here? Is the Creative Art Group cooperating with him?
-We can’t say we are working with him. Jean-Jacques Annuad is cooperating with Inner Mongolian filmmakers on the film adaptation of the novel ‘Wolf Totem’ by Chinese author Jiang Rong. He came to Mongolia to hold auditions for one of the primary roles of the film. The audition is taking place at the office of our Creative Art Group.
-Is it possible to report the audition?
-I am afraid, it isn’t.The producer didn’t allow anyone to enter except crew members.
-How many people are taking part in the audition? Are they professional actresses?
-Most of the more than 20 auditioners were established actresses. Currently they have chosen three actresses. I think they would choose one from them. It doesn’t mean that person will play in the film. They also held auditions in China. The shortlisted women will go another audition and the final decision will be made by the director.
-Do you know the three selected actresses?
-Actress R.Ankhnyam, actress B.Tsetsegee who played in ‘Khadag’ film and the other woman is a model.
-Is there any possibility that Creative Art Group takes part in the shooting of the film?
-The shooting is scheduled to start next April. I will go on location at that time.
