Chinese actress Zhou Xun's latest film Ming Ming is
slated to open in Chinese theaters on April 26. The film was highly
praised at the 11th Pusan International Film Festival in South
Korea last October. Let's follow our reporter to have a preview on
the movie.
Reporter: Chinese actress-turned-singer Zhou Xun Thursday in
Beijing released her new music video Look Look, which is
also the theme song for her new action film Ming Ming.
Collaboration between Zhou Xun and Hong Kong singer Anthony Wong,
the music mix the rock style with electronic flavor, which exactly
meets the tune of the story about the legendary women in a modern
city.
Zhou Xun plays two of the leading roles in the film--the Twins,
Na Na and Ming Ming, with absolutely different characteristics and
personalities. Na Na is a passionate and hot modern woman while
Ming Ming is quiet and soft. The two girls fall in love with the
same man, played by Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu.
Zhou Xun takes off the classical looks and music as she did in
her previous films like The Banquet, and she tries a
different modern style of both appearances and the theme songs in
the new movie. Zhou Xun said she always liked to try different
things. She tried a different modern song in the film.
"I like it. I think singing the same style of songs is not an
interesting thing. Just like an actress trying different roles, you
can taste a variety of music."
The film is the first feature-length production from director
Susie Au, who is better know for making unique music videos.
Co-starring Taiwan singer and actor Jeff Cheung, the film has
aroused many interests from the audience when it gave a preview in
Hong Kong last week. The Hong Kong film critics circle called it a
new film genre that we have never seen before.
