Chen appears in the upcoming Disney flick Miss Taken alongside Jelly Lin, who last year appeared in the box-office breaking film The Mermaid, now the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time.
With regards film, Disney has been remarkably more restrained, tepidly releasing only a few Chinese language films.
As Disney continue to dominate at the box office with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the studio has announced a development deal Taiwan’s Wudi Pictures to make Chinese-language movies.
The company launched the Shanghai Disney Resort last year, which features a Disneyland and hosted last week’s Pirates of the Caribbean world premiere.
