Summary/Abstract: Along with the acceleration of the global integration process, the relations between countries are becoming closer and closer. Transnational cooperation is becoming common. ‘Screen cooperation’ is one of the examples. Moreland more foreigners appear on Chinese screens, Chinese actors and actresses have also earned a presence all over the world. The roles they play are all in foreign cultures and reflect intercultural communication. By analyzing the intercultural communication factors in the movies “Pushing Hands” and “Serial (Bad) Weddings”, we see that after receiving better knowledge of intercultural communications, we can better understand and cope with cultural collisions, which are often generated during intercultural communication. This can help to reduce cultural conflicts, enhance communication and common understanding, and improve people’s lives in a foreign culture.
