Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang and Russian deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin attended the opening ceremony and spoke at the 2013 Chinese Film Festival. As the ambassador of the Chinese Film Festival, Chinese megastar Zhang Ziyi landed Russia. In 2013, Zhang Ziyi became an official visiting card representing Chinese films. Her years of working experience abroad finally turn into Zhang Ziyi's overwhelming superiority.

In China, Zhang Ziyi's fans call her as "international Zhang". This time, "international Zhang" really plays on important role in promoting Chinese films overseas. Zhang Ziyi expresses her honor to be chosen as the ambassador of the Chinese Film Festival. Zhang Ziyi said She felt flattered by the invitation as if she was chosen into a "national team" of Chinese film.

Jacky Chan, Chinese celebrated martial artist, is also selected by the "national team" of Chinese film. In fact, if there was indeed a Chinese film national team, Jack Chan was qualified to be the team leader. This time, the Chinese delegation taking part in the 2013 Chinese Film Festival is full of glitz and glamour. More than ten excellent Chinese films, including "Grandmasters" directed by Wong Kar-wai, "American Dreams in China" directed by Peter Chan and "Chinese Zodiac" by Jacky Chan, were brought to Russia for show.

At the opening ceremony, Zhang Ziyi looks intelligent and gorgeous in a hollow lace dress. When talking about the deep influence of Russian movie on herself, Zhang Ziyi recalled her pleasant days accompanied by Russian films, which touched the Russian audience and filmmakers deeply. The audience applauded for Zhang Ziyi's humor and admiration. Later, Jacky Chan spokes at the opening ceremony, saying that he wanted to promote Chinese Kung Fu movie into the world.
