Villain Tong Dawei, as a Japanese gangster, also has a dozen "witches" who do his evil bidding. The are dubbed his constellation with associated zodiac signs. And, surprise (no?), they have their own group weibo besides individual ones. Most are former/current Moko models, fitting the film's fashion-action film prism; one is a former child star, another a beauty pageant winner, one is noted for her resemblance to Lin Chi-ling - she seems to have done some adult modelling, also.
