Co-productions between China and the US have had a rocky history （Matt Damon， were looking at you） but Canadian-Chinese actor Kris Wu has proven adept at managing to insert himself into both film cultures. Last year he played a key role in the critically and commercially successful Mr. Six， and this year he appeared alongside Vin Diesel in XXX： The Return of Xander Cage. He also had a bit part in The Mermaid， which went on to become Chinas most successful film of all time in terms of box office receipts. Wu was most recently in the news for playing in an NBA celebrity game alongside Chinese actor Jiang Jinfu. Shrewd play， Wu. There are few areas with greater pull for both young American and Chinese fans than basketball.
