With case studies of popular stars like Linda Lin Dai and Edison Chen, and spectacular genres like the Shaolin Temple cycle of martial arts films, the book explores what it meant to be both cosmopolitan and Chinese in the second half of the 20th century.
Examines transnational Chinese stardom as a Web-based phenomenon. Generates a new model to address the virtual forms of stardom and the under-explored dimensions of Chinese stars. Revisits the star construction of globally acclaimed Chinese performers such as Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen. Themes include: star performance; the star body; ethnicity; stars and audience; and phonic persona.
