The &#8220;Beginning of the Great Revival&#8221; traces developments between the 1911 revolution that overthrew imperial rule and the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party on July 31, 1921. It is part of a series of events in China marking the anniversary.  It features many of the Chinese film industry&#8217;s biggest names such as Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat, who attended Wednesday&#8217;s event.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;Beginning of the Great Revival&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"480\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GAxBwps3sj4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Director Han Sanping told a news conference the movie is better than 2009&#8217;s &#8220;The Founding of a Republic,&#8221; which told the story of the Communist Party winning power in 1949.  China Film Group is hoping for a repeat of the success it had with &#8220;The Founding of a Republic&#8221; which made 415 million yuan ($61 million) at the box office, a large amount for China and for the usually staid propaganda genre.  Its success was helped by politically correct theater operators who flooded their properties with screenings. The &#8220;Beginning of the Great Revival&#8221; is likely to receive similar treatment.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Founding of a Republic<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"480\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wEFFOnMqfbs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2011\/06\/08\/world\/asia\/AP-AS-China-Propaganda-Movie.html?ref=asia\" title=\"s\">SOURCE<\/a><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese movie stars gathered Wednesday to launch a blockbuster movie celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
