Hong Kong action fantasy "Painted Skin" and China's Olympic documentary "Dream Weavers -- Beijing 2008," have been selected as their country's official entries for the 2009 foreign-language film Oscar.

《画皮》已被确定代表香港参选2009年奥斯卡最佳外语片，而代表中国大陆“申奥”的影片是奥运纪录片《筑梦2008》。

The $15 million "Skin" is a Hong Kong-China co-production shot in China but produced by a Hong Kong team led by director Gordon Chan. Starring Donnie Yen, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, the film will open Friday in China and Oct. 2 in Hong Kong.

耗资一千五百万美元的《画皮》由陈嘉上导演，是在大陆拍摄、香港制作、两地合作的电影。

With no U.S. distributor secured, its international sales agent Eastern Mordor will showcase "Skin" at the upcoming American Film Market.

因为没有固定的美国发行商，所以国际发行代理北京世纪佳映公司将在即将到来的“美国电影市场”(AFM)中展出这部电影。

Meanwhile, "Dream Weavers -- Beijing 2008," the official documentary on the Beijing Olympics, wassubmitted to the Academy by China's State Administration of Film, Radio and Television as China's official foreign-language entry.

同时，《筑梦2008》这部北京奥运的官方纪录片已经由中国广电总局作为中国大陆的官方“申奥”影片提交给奥斯卡组委会。

Seven years in the making, the Jun Yu-directed documentary recorded preparations for the Beijing Olympics, including footage of the construction of the National Stadium, and the personal stories and efforts of the workers, volunteers and athletes at center stage during the Games.

这部由顾筠执导历时七年的奥运纪录片记录了国家体育馆建造的过程以及奥运期间百姓生活和处于关注焦点的工人、志愿者和运动员们的努力。

Its entry marks the first time China has submitted a documentary for consideration for the award.

《筑梦2008》的入选标志着中国首次将纪录片列入冲击奥斯卡影片的范畴。

Producers of the film are in talks with U.S. distributors for the film's U.S. release, a spokesperson of China Central Newsreel and Documentary Studios told The Hollywood Reporter.

中央新闻记录电影制片厂的发言人告诉好莱坞记者报道说，这部片子的制作方正在与美国发行方讨论这部电影的美国发行问题。
