Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun is set to appear alongside Chinese movie star Zhang Ziyi in a new film by Wayne Wang, titled Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which is based on the same title by Chinese-American writer Lisa See.
Set in 19th century China, the film chronicles the lives of two women – Lily and Snow Flower – and their intimate lifelong friendship.
Zhang is set to play the main character Snow Flower while Jun’s role in the film has not been decided as of yet.
Wanye Wang, a Chinese-American filmmaker, has directed several notable movies such as The Joy Luck Club (1993), Maid in Manhattan (2002) and Smoke (1995), for which he won the Silver Bear award at Berlin International Film Festival.
Chinese pop diva Faye Wong is set to make her showbiz return with a concert tour in China.
Her manager has confirmed that negotiations are underway for the tour which kicks off in October next year. Wong is also negotiating with Chinese television station CCTV to perform on its high rated Spring Night Gala show next year.
Many believe that Wong’s return to show business might be out of economic necessity as she had to deal with the fallout from her actor husband Li Yapeng’s bad investments while corrective surgery for her younger daughter Li Yan’s cleft lip had also cost her a pretty penny.
It’s reported that Faye will bag about 50 million yuan (US$7.3 million) from her tour.
