"King of Kung Fu", the first peak showdown between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, the two international kung fu superstars, is about to be released in April, and the actress Liu Yifei in the film has also signed a contract with the famous American agency William Morris (WGA) for this role, becoming the company’s second Chinese actress after Zhang Ziyi.
Play against two kung fu superstars
Liu Yifei, who worked with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two Chinese kung fu emperors, on her first international blockbuster, said that she also learned a lot while being pressured. "Although I also took on martial arts films and tried action scenes in the past, this time Jackie Chan and Jet Li are famous action masters. Seeing their real and wonderful fighting moves, I felt very enjoyable, and my understanding of action scenes has also improved a lot." The reporter learned from Liu Yifei that her "Golden Swallow" role is quite heavy, but the film is only given a few seconds of exposure in the promotional video in order to maintain its "mysterious image."
Oriental Mei Conquer America Company
Although the role is mysterious and the current exposure rate is not high, Liu Yifei has been selected by William Morris Agency, one of the three major US agencies, and has become the junior sister of international superstars such as Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson, and Zhang Ziyi. The American media is also very interested in the junior sister of Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, and believes that Liu Yifei is the most beautiful Chinese actress in the past 50 years.
The William Morris agency has high requirements for artists and strives for excellence. At present, only Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei have been signed among Chinese movie stars. In addition to helping its artists pick up big-budget films from Hollywood first-line directors, the company will also package and expand them in an all-round way, such as the lead role of Zhang Ziyi in "Memoirs of a Geisha".
It is reported that six major film scripts have been sent to Liu Yifei for her to choose from. The William Morris agency is satisfied with the signing of Liu Yifei, the Chinese actress they see as the most promising. A company spokesman said that they have been following Liu Yifei for a long time. From her dreamy and beautiful fairy sister in "Tianlong Babu" to the out-of-the-world little dragon girl in "Condor Heroes", the company believes that Liu Yifei has the beauty of the East.
In early May this year, Liu Yifei will attend the US premiere of "King of Kung Fu". At that time, William Morris Agency will also hold a grand ceremony to "marry" Liu Yifei. Competing reporter, Zhang Xuan
