THR: 10 Actors to Look Out for in an Increasingly Global Business
Fan Bingbing
Fan, 29, a native of Qingdao, got her start in the 1998 Taiwanese TV sitcom "Princess Pearl." After a role in director Feng Xiaogang's 2003 release "Cell Phone," she starred opposite Hong Kong heartthrob Andy Lau in 2005's "A Battle of Wits." Since then, the lean and wide-eyed Fan, uncommonly tall for a Chinese actress at 5-foot-6 has starred opposite Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen and held her own in the shadow of Zhang Ziyi. She has also worked with the country's most respected directors, from Chen Kaige ("Sacrifice") to Wang Xiaoshuai's 2010 Cannes Competition film "Chongqing Blues."
