Zusammenfassung:As one of the most popular and versatile Hong Kong film stars, Chow Yun-fat has enjoyed international success over the last four decades. Using Choẃ⁰₉s transnational and trans-regional star persona as a case study, Lin Feng investigates stardom as an agent for mediating the sociocultural construction of Hong Kong and Chinese identities. Through the analysis of Choẃ⁰₉s on- and off-screen star image, the book recognises that a staŕ⁰₉s image is unstable and fragmented across distinct historical junctures, geographic borders and media platforms. Following Choẃ⁰₉s career move from Hong Kong to Hollywood, and then to transnational Chinese cinema, Chow Yun-fat and Territories of Hong Kong Stardom highlights the complex redefinitions of local and global, traditional and modern, and East and West, that Choẃ⁰₉s image has undergone, exploring the nature of Chinese and transnational stardom, the East Asian film industry, and Asian male stardom beyond martial arts and action cinema.
