Celebrities being used again to tempt viewers to see Hollywood flick

Hollywood is again using Chinese celebrities to spread its influence in the lucrative mainland film market. This is the second such case in August.

In this instance, 20th Century's forthcoming animated film Ice Age: Collision Course is using local stars to do voice-overs for its Mandarin version.

Shen Teng, Ma Li and Chang Yuan from China's popular theater stage group Mahua Fun Age did the voice-overs for the male weasel Buck, the female ground sloth Brooke and the yoga-loving llama Shangri in the movie.
