Subsequently, the actress' image was no longer featured in posters and later, all her scenes deleted from the film. In addition, Qi Wei did not appear in the film's promotional events.

Chrissie Chau - She's an app!
The Annual Hong Kong Book Fair Photo Album Wars will not include Chrissie Chau this year. Instead Chrissie will pick fan boys' pockets via a mobile app. The Chrissie Chau app will be available in mid-July according to her agent, Iris. The app will come in 3 versions. In the free version, users play a simple math exercise [you touch numbers on screen to sum to 10] to unlock a new pic of Chrissie each time. A second .99 version features more pics and a more expensive version does not require playing the game. Multiple editions with updated photos are planned according to Iris. For Apple users only, search for "10NaNaMania". (Sina), 2

I doubt "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" will make it down here in North Carolina. In fact, I'm surprised that any East Asian movie makes it here (lots of people tell me they don't go watch the Asian movies, because they don't want to read the subtitles). :(
Nice update on Brigitte Lin. I still haven't seen "Ashes of Time" yet.
Lovely picture of Brigitte Lin when she was 17. I wonder how many people who knew her as a teenager claim that they saw her star power even back then.

All too true for all of the US! OTOH, I watch TV with closed captioning on! :D
I have Ashes of Time on VHS, VCD, LD, and DVD (Redux). Also on CD (OST) Plus, I've seen it theatrically a few times, too! :D
Need to watch the Redux version, yet, though.
Brigitte does look sweet, huh?
