Movie With 100 Stars Presents A Question: Who＊s Chinese?
A film planned for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China promises to have more stars than any other movie in history. To fulfill that promise, its producers have looked abroad, reigniting an old debate about who, really, is Chinese.
'The Founding of a Republic,' ('Jianguo Daye' in Chinese) an all-star epic recounting the founding of the PRC, will feature more than 100 stars, producers say. The cast includes kung-fu stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi, Stephen Chow, actor and Cantopop king Andy Lau, and not one, but two, Tony Leungs: Tony Leung Ka-fai and Tony Leung Chiu-wai. Directors John Woo, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige also have acting roles.
Many of the stars are participating on a pro bono basis (in Chinese, as are the other links). Some only have cameos and guest roles that see them on screen for only a few seconds. Chinese Web users have taken to calling the film the one with the 'the largest number of superstar utility men in history.'
Many play a character quite different from their usual roles. Zhang Ziyi, perhaps the world's best known Chinese actress, plays a woman who represents the literary and art circles. With her hair in a bun and dressed in simple white shirt and gray woolen outfit, she looks quite different from her common Hollywood star style. Jackie Chan plays a newspaper reporter, while director Feng Xiaogang plays Du Yuesheng, one of the most powerful gangsters in modern China.
The state-owned China Film Group is producing the film, with Chairman and Chief Executive Han Sanping directing. China Film Group has reportedly invested 30 million yuan, or about $4.4 million, in the film, which is slated for release on Sept. 17, two weeks ahead of the Oct. 1 anniversary.
Many Chinese Web users are excited about the film. But some are raising the issue of actors with Chinese roots but who aren't Chinese citizens and whether they are appropriate for a move about modern China's founding. In an article published on , some 30 stars were revealed to be 'foreigners,' including director Chen Kaige (U.S.) and Zhang Ziyi (Hong Kong).
In recent years, the trend of Chinese celebrities taking up foreign citizenship has upset many vocal Chinese Web users. Jet Li, for instance, recently confirmed that he became a Singaporean citizen in June, to some scathing criticism on the Chinese Internet.
'Jianguo Daye' is no exception. 'Friends from all over the world take the trouble to help our nation shoot such a mainstream movie. What spirit!' said one sarcastic Mop user. Said another Web user: 'The establishment of the People's Republic of China needs support from foreigners.'
Others shrugged off the foreign citizenship as an increasing fact in a modern China still opening up to the world. 'As long as the movie is good,' said one. 'If we are to really open up, thoughts should be considered as important as behavior.'

爲中華人民共和國成立60週年獻禮的一部影片許諾，會有比歷史上任何電影都多的明星參演。爲了實現這個目標，導演組將目光投向了海外，這也重新激起了到底誰是真正的中國人的持久爭論。
導演說，紀念建國的全明星史詩片《建國大業》將有100多位明星出演。這其中包括功夫巨星李連杰和成龍、章子怡、周星馳、演員及粵語歌王劉德華、還有二樑：梁家輝和梁朝偉。導演吳宇森、馮小剛和陳凱歌也都在其中飾演了角色。
許多明星都是無償出演。有些人只是客串角色，在屏幕上只出現了幾秒鐘。中國的網民已將《建國大業》稱之爲“歷史上跑龍套超級明星最多”的一部影片。
許多人都扮演了與以往迥然不同的角色。章子怡也許是世界最知名的中國女演員，她在片中扮演一位文藝界女代表。她挽着髮髻，穿着白襯衫和卡其色外套，看上去與她好萊塢明星的風格截然不同。成龍扮演一名報社記者，而導演馮小剛則飾演舊中國的黑幫老大杜月笙。
這部影片是由國有中國電影集團公司(China Film Group)出品的，該公司董事長兼總經理韓三平任總導演。據報導，中國電影集團向本片投資了3,000萬元（約合440萬美元）。《建國大業》定於國慶節的頭兩週，即從9月17日開始公映。
中國的許多網民都對這部電影充滿期待。但有些人也提出了一些演員是中國根但卻不是中國公民，以及他們出演紀念建國的影片是否恰當的問題。貓撲()上的一篇文章列出了其中的大約30名“外國”明星，其中包括導演陳凱歌（美國）和章子怡（香港）。
近年來，中國名人獲得外國國籍的趨勢令許多網民感到不滿。比如，李連杰最近證實他在6月份成爲新加坡公民，引來了中國互聯網上的激烈批評。
《建國大業》也不例外。一位貓撲網民揶揄道，各位國際友人百忙之中還來幫助我國拍攝這樣一部主旋律影片。這是一種什麼精神！另一位網民說，中華人民共和國的成立需要外國人的支持。
也有人對名人加入外國國籍一事並不在意，他們認爲這反映了中國仍在對外開放的現實。一位網民說，只要是部好電影就行。如果我們要真正開放，思想應當被放到同行爲一樣重要的位置上。
