Hit show ‘Movie Talk’ returns for second season

Movie Talk, a popular television program where top performers share their knowledge of the art of acting, will debut its second season on China Central Television’s movie channel CCTV-6 this week.

Award-winning actress, Zhou Xun, will return to host the 16-minute talk show which airs at 10pm every Wednesday and Thursday evening, starting June 6.

The show promises a stellar line-up of guests, all of whom are veteran performers or award-wining artists, including Joan Chen, Chen Jianbin, Shu Qi, Song Jia, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Yanhui and Yu Hewei.

Movie Talk was an unexpected hit when the first season aired last year, scoring a nine out of ten rating on popular TV and movie review site, Douban, accumulating 320 million “clicks” on micro-blogging platform, Sina Weibo and being viewed more than 70 million times on China’s major video-streaming sites.
