電影《中國女排》於4月16日在福建漳州「中國女排訓練館」老一館舉行了「不忘初心，共同出發」的啟動儀式，導演陳可辛、中國女排總教練郎平、前中國女排總教練陳忠和等人均有出席。會上陳可辛導演談到早在1978年曼谷亞運會現場第一次看中國女排比賽，當年他是16歲，也就是朗平第一次到國外比賽，現場中國隊進場時熱血沸騰的氣氛令他至今難忘，想不到現在他能親手把中國女排故事搬上銀幕，上映檔期還定在2020年東京奧運會舉行年份，希望藉此為中國女排備戰東京奧運打氣。

會上陳可辛導演送上簽名《中國女排》首張海報給中國女排，海報以一個斑駁破爛的白色排球為特寫，讓人想到中國女排艱辛的訓練。而中國女排則以簽名排球回禮，以此作為電影與中國女排的共同出發的決心。
