Two modern, two ancient, and one in between (sort of.)
Which production (if any) would you guys be interested in a recap of? The options listed in the poll below are mostly movies (Double Exposure, Caught in the Web, Painted Skin II, The Assassins, Tai-Chi Zero…), but if there’s a particular drama you’re interested in, leave a comment and we’ll put that into consideration.

Somehow Bingbing manages to look gorgeous even with white hair.
White hair is all the rage in C-entertainment this year. Following Zhou Xun’s somewhat creepy fox demon in blockbuster Painted Skin II and the title character of drama The Bride With White Hair, Fan Bingbing also sports white hair for her upcoming movie Double Exposure. Use that as a measure of how much pressure her character is under. (Her eyes are also perpetually red, and in the recently released stills, she has tears in her eyes just as often as not.) Huo Siyan of the same movie tries to emulate her with snow crusted eyelashes; a few stills of her character can be found at the end of this post. It seems that Feng Shaofeng‘s character, who cheats on Bingbing’s character with Huo Siyan’s, has an unusual preference for girls’ appearance – or an unfortunate ability to bring it out in his girlfriends.
Look below the cut for more stills from Double Exposure, including pictures of Bingbing with black hair. Continue reading →
