A busty debate about Gong Li
Aggregated Source: China Rises: Notes from the Middle Kingdom
So actress Gong Li’s bared flesh is causing a buzz in China, or that’s what the media would have us believe.
Gong Li is the star of the new film by China’s best-known director, Zhang Yimou, who made Hero and House of Flying Daggers as well as the classic Raise the Red Lantern.
Seems that at 41, and fresh from Miami Vice, Gong Li almost falls out of her dress in the new film, Curse of the Golden Flower.
Even the state Xinhua news agency noted, “The most eye-popping role is played by Gong Li, the empress, whose breasts are so tightly wrapped that they appear ready to pop out of her costume.”
Check out the photos here and here. Doesn’t this seem rather tame? My hunch is that this “controversy” was drummed up just to pique public interest in the movie. After all, it cost $44.6 million to make.
