"Transformers: Age of Extinction" has premiered in Beijing.
Stars Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor and Li Bingbing were joined by director Michael Bay at the premiere in central Beijing.
Li Bingbing says she hopes "Age of Extinction" will be a success in her home country. "It makes Chinese fans very happy that 'Transformers 4' shot partially in China," she says. "I believe that many Chinese audiences are going to cinemas to watch this movie this time." The premier for the new film comes amid a bit of controversy.
Property developer Pan'gu has terminated its association with the movie, and is demanding edits be made to the film amid a dispute over association rights.
However, just hours before the premiere, the two sides held a press conference inside the Pangu 7 star hotel and announced that they had resolved their differences. "As a director, working with Pangu was fantastic and I want to put all this misunderstanding aside and let's just celebrate a great movie that we shot in China and I hope everyone enjoys it."
The film is to hit Chinese screens including IMAX screens on Friday.
