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 Mop.com, 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.'
