Sony's newest 3D action comedy "The Green Hornet" opened in China on Monday, after topping the U.S. box office over the weekend. The superhero blockbuster is directed by Michel Gondry and stars Hollywood actor Seth Rogan and Chinese pop singer Jay Chou as Kato.
The premiere in Beijing featured an unusual green carpet Walk of Fame instead of the traditional red carpet, a more fitting tribute to the green tone of the movie.
Jay Chou, known as the most popular singer in China, is undoubtedly at the center of the spotlight and also provides a guaranteed box office draw here in China.

Seth Rogan praised Chou by comparing him to the American super-star rapper Usher.
Seth Rogan, Co-star of "The Green Hornet", said, "As far as his music, I think he is far better than Usher. I don't know any Usher albums but I own every Jay Chou album. I would not pay for them though, he gave them to me. I should say that."
This was the first time Chou took part in a Hollywood movie, but Chou said "The Green Hornet" might not necessarily pave his way to the movie kingdom.
Jay Chou, Co-star of "The Green Hornet", said, "This movie is a challenge for me. To be honest, I don't see it as my march into Hollywood. I still have a lot of Asian movies to make and my English is not that good. I think I will just follow my destiny."
