Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Trailer

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

For the last year we have heard about Li Bingbing starring in the new movie, “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” based on Lisa See’s book of the same title. But now we finally get to see an official trailer. What is amazing about this trailer is that it is thought-provoking (and if you have not read the novel) and it is also utterly confusing. We see the actresses play several roles here. Both Miss Li Bingbing and South Korean actress and model, Jun Ji-Hyun, are apparently playing more than a few roles apiece. Take a look and decide for yourself how you feel about it. We think you will agree that it is something new and different.

Casting rumors continue as Li Bingbing expresses pleasant surprise about Venice

Monday, August 16th, 2010

According to Sina.com.cn, Miss Li Bingbing was interviewed regarding a few topics related to casting and her new film, Detective Dee. In respect to the most recent rumors and speculations regarding the casting of the new film, “Fugative,” Miss Li is apparently still awaiting news regarding the casting. So at this time things may still be in the works regarding the casting of that film.  Her most recently to-be-released film, “Detective Dee” is apparently the only Chinese film to be nominated at the 67th Venice Film Festival. According to the article, Miss Li expressed that she was very surprised and pleased by the news. When pressed further as to the prospects of Miss Li winning a Best Actress award, she proved to be very modest (and tactful) in her response: she mentioned she would be “very happy”, but also that if she did win she would be happy that the award would help promote Chinese films around the world.

China.org.cn: Detective Dee to open on Sept. 29

Saturday, July 31st, 2010


The following article is from China.org.cn:

Director Feng Xiaogang’s latest film “Aftershock” will launch on the big screen on Thursday (July 22). The production company, Huayi Brothers, told potential viewers that they should arrive at screenings early so as not to miss the extended trailer of the suspense film “Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame” before “Aftershock”.

Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark, the film “Detective Dee” stars Andy Lau, Carina Lau and Li Bingbing.

In addition, Huayi Brothers also said that “Detective Dee” is scheduled to open in cinemas on September 29.

According to a report by the Oriental Morning Post, “Detective Dee” is another heavyweight work produced by Huayi Brothers after this summer’s “Aftershock”. It was sold to an impressive 11 markets in 3 days at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The production company released a trailer last month and offered a preview of the plot for the first time. However, the CEO of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhonglei, said that director Tsui Hark and screenwriter Chen Kuo-Fu have created a Tang empire which is far beyond anyone’s imagination.

Li Bingbing at Earth Hour Day Event

Another article able Miss Li Bingbing from xinhuanet.com regarding the Golden Horse Awards and her environmental charity work as Ambassador of Earth Hour Campaign in China. Fortunately this article is also in English which makes the translation issue less than an issue.

Below are some of the highlights or the article:

“I never thought I would be standing on this stage, accepting this award. I do not know what to say,” she sobbed, speechless when presented with her Golden Horse.

“Life is interesting, with so many ups and downs, possibilities and impossibilities. I am thankful for all of the drama that has happened to me.”

Li acknowledged the support and guidance from the cast and crew of The Message. She specifically thanked Zhou Xun, her costar in the film, who was also nominated for Best Leading Actress.

“Without Zhou’s inspiring performance, I would not have won this award.”

Li told the Global Times that the close relationship between her and Zhou, both in life and in work, was like a sisterhood, not one of fierce competition as rumored by the media.

“Me winning the award does not necessarily mean that my acting is better than Zhou’s, or the other nominees,” she added.

Li explained that to be nominated requires good acting skills while winning is a matter of luck.

Looking back over Li’s acting career, which began with background roles and small supporting cameos in TV series, it is clear that her success today is not merely based on luck.

“She may not be the most talented actress of our time, but she is definitely one of the most hard working and mature,” commented Tao Qian, a mainland art critic.

“My biggest wish is to be a good actress, a really good one,” Li said, even after winning the award. She added that her schedule is currently full, with no holiday or celebration planned.

“Once I set my mind on something, I’m willing to pay any price, even my health. Acting tops everything in my life.”

“No payment is fine with me, as long as there is a good script and a good director.”
