8 years ago, on this day (April 1), Johnny Depp attended the “DMG Creative Home” dialogue at the 798 Art Zone, in Beijing, China.

On that day, Johnny attended the event with the actor, producer and director Zhang Guang Bei, the Couture Fashion Designer, Guo Pei, the Director, producer and CEO of the DMG Company, Dan Mintz, the photographer Chen Man, and the singer and songwriter Liu Jia and talked about his life, acting and musician career, his relationship with arts and answered some questions for an audience comprised of students of the Beijing Film Academy.

The interview ended up becoming a 3 episode documentary of 40 minutes, featuring Johnny visiting dozens of places of the arts district in Beijing, such as arts galleries, a record shop, and visit to the studio of the sculptor Ren Zhe, where he did clay modeling.

The DMG Creative Home is a film and art creative platform provided by DMG Entertainment and Media Group Company (who released Transcendence in China) where interviewers share a new creative perspective and method for the vast number of creative talents.

Unfortunately, Johnny’s first visit to China was not properly organized. There were so many schedules that ended up becoming a problem. On the day before (March 31), the Press Conference started too late and the Premierewas so long that stipulated the original contract. On the next day (April 1), Johnny was invited to meet some places in Beijing which was filmed for two documentaries, and was the special guest on the DMG Creative Home interview, but again the time didn’t match, once both took too much time of Johnny’s 48h in China. Due to that a special meet & greet scheduled for later that day, ended up being canceled leaving hundreds of fans who traveled from different places in China in tears.

> Behind the scenes: One of biggest premiere Johnny ever had.

Johnny’s first visit to China can be considered one of the biggest and busiest he ever had. Although Johnny was only going to stay two days in China, both days were filled with activities.
Just on the first day, Johnny had a Press Conference where he talked about the movie, showed his tattoo and was gifted with a huge abacus (the China’s oldest computer, which Johnny instantly shook as a tambourine) and a huge ticket for his movie.
Later he attended one of the longest invite-only premieres ever, where he had a talk session, signed paintings, wrote in Chinese, met quadruplets who had their had cut to form numbers from 1 to 4 - and who sang for him -, took selfies, and even performed on stage playing guitar with the Chinese rock star David Tao for a cover of the ’90s Chinese rock classic “Yi Wu Suo You” (“Nothing to My Name”) – a powerful anthem  song made famous by the Chinese godfather of rock, Cui Jian Yi,  for China’s younger generations, with some political overtones.
On the next day, Johnny continued in Beijing and specially invited for dozens of activities as well. And everything during those two days was filmed and became a 60-minute TV special which was broadcasted across China by the Zhejiang TV, in order to celebrate the exclusive release of “Transcendence” in 3D, on April 18 2014,  making this the only country to screen the movie in this format.
