Focusing on a "linguaphonic" model, this monograph redefines the study of Chinese film stars by emphasizing the importance of vocalization over visual representation. It explores the careers of both iconic figures like Bruce Lee and Michelle Yeoh, and emerging stars such as Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei. By analyzing spoken forms and enunciation styles, the book reveals the ethnic and ideological dimensions of Chinese stardom. It challenges traditional views of fame by intertwining the concepts of voice, identity, and global media dynamics.
