CRI: Sacrifice' Premieres in Beiijng

Jordan Chan made his first public appearance since returning from his honeymoon with Cherrie Ying. The event was the official launch of a new film (lit. BMW Rhapsody) in Beijing at the 798 Art District. He will be costarring in the black comedy with Gong Xinliang, Lee Kin-Yan and Kong Ming (the male Fan Bingbing impersonator). Set in Chongqing, Jordan Chan plays a driver for a funeral home who gets fired after a corpse is stolen.

Male Fan Bingbing(s)

This post is in response to a request from DurianDave recently.

A 'male Fan Bingbing' (男范冰冰), Liu Zhu, was recently a contestant in the popular Happy Boy talent contest. Under great pressure and controversy, the contestant was voted off the program.  (Danwei), (ChinaHush), 2 

Earlier this year, I posted about Kong Ming  who also caught much media attention as a 'male Fan Bingbing'. (NowNews) There are other female celebrity imitators and it is becoming a cultural phenomenom of sorts from what I can gather. Or else, it's a reflection of the news I read. One of the phrases I've seen describing it on mainland media sites is “伪娘" or 'fake lady' (Pseudo Mother, in Google translation-speak). Probably more than you care to know.

Fan Bingbing?

No, it's Kong Ming, a male version of Fan Bingbing. Apparently, Kong Ming has show biz aspirations and has contacted Stanley Kwan. Actually, a fan of Ayumi Hamasaki and Kong Ming wants to be "China's Ayumi Hamasaki". (Sina)
