Jean-Jacques Annaud said: "I am happy to be invited in your beautiful country. I am interested in your culture and history. One example is the "Wolf Totem" film.

This film is believed to contribute the development of friendly relation between two countries. I want to express my gratitude to President Office and he Ministry of Education."
"While reading the "Wolf Totem" book, I liked the description of Mongolian custom. In the other hand, this book was released when the government is putting high priority to environmental protection in China. I appreciated to Chinese authorities for granting me right to make this film and for cooperation. Difficulty was I spent seven years for making this film. On the other hand, it was difficult to find the appropriate Mongolian wild wolves. I found a three-month-old wolf cubs and prepared them for the film since 2008. Wolves reached the age of adulthood in the early summer of 2012 and we began filming. We made over 160 days of filming in 2013."
"We have waited for wolves to grow up and the filming was stopped for two and three weeks. We faced challenges including waiting for wolves to grow up, acclimatization of wolves and change of season. Moreover, it was difficult to film the wolves. Thus, we need to prepare 35 places for the wolves. We prepared seperate places for four wolves. "
"Due to areas of filming was located in different places, wolves had to placed in many areas. We brought Canadian wolf trainers. During the filming, we worked very well on the protection of animals including horses and wolves and no animals were injured."
"Horse and wolf taxidermy were used during the filming and it was made by US expert for a year."
"There were no difficulty for communicating between Mongolian and Chinese artists. The actors were really good. An example of this is actress R.Ankhnyam. I am satisfied that viewers had good impression on the actors."
"I have not planned any work with Mongolians, yet. This year, I will focus on releasing "Wolf Totem" film in North America. I will contribute to the development of Mongolian film." he said.
