With an investment of 120 million yuan (17.7 million U.S. dollars), "The Return of Chen Zhen" follows the story from the 1994 film "Fist of Legend" starring Jet Li. The hero, Chen Zhen, kills the Japanese martial-arts master and the general who murders his master, Huo Yuanjia. That is also the premise for "Fist of Fury" (1972) starring Bruce Lee as Chen Zhen.
American film "Black Swan" starring Natalie Portman is the other opening film.
"The Return of Chen Zhen" will be screened at 10 p.m. on September 1 after the screening of "Black Swan" at the opening ceremony of the film festival. The film will be released in China on September 23.
