Li Bingbing: Finding a good role in a good script

Li Bingbing at the 46th Annual Golden Horse Awards (2009)

According to Cheng Xue Chao of Sina.com.cn, there was a victory banquet held in Beijing last night to celebrate Li Bingbing’s win for her role in “Wind” (also referred to as “The Message”) at the Golden Horse Awards. Company boss, Wang Jun, was on hand to congratulate the star. Asked how the production company’s stock was faring in the market in light of such good news he mentioned that he could not answer because he would not want to mislead the investors. The company’s stock performance will be determined the next day.

When Li Bingbing was asked about her own success and whether or not it would increase her salary, she responded that “Unless the role is for a good script and a good experience, the money will not be there to make it.” This would, of course, impact the salaries of the actors.

When asked about Zhou Xun who was also up for the same Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse, Li Bingbing mentioned that “Zhou Xun is a very good [actress], I am very grateful to her, even after winning [she sent] text messages to congratulate. In fact there is no competion [between us], the winner was just lucky.”
