Nicole Kidman has apparently given her stamp of approval to Chinese tycoon Wang Jianlin's bid to set up an 8 billion-dollar worth Hollywood-inspired movie market in the eastern country.

The blonde beauty showed her support for Jianlin's plans by attending a glitzy event in the northeastern city of Qingdao that was hosted by him, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The function also saw Hollywood celebs, including Ewan McGregor, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Travolta and Leonardo DiCaprio, mixing with Chinese stars like Zhang Ziyi, Jet Li and Tony Leung.

At the occasion, the country's richest man said that his company, Dalian Wanda Group, will build a state-of-the-art film studio complex in a bid to dominate China's rapidly growing movie market.
