Chinese actress Li Bingbing unveiled her wax figure at Shanghai's Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on Wednesday.
The
new figure dons a Dior black and white dress and renders the moment
when the star won the Best Actress award at China's Huabiao Film Award
ceremony on August 26 last year.
"I had been in the showbiz
industry for exactly 10 years when I got the award, so it's a very
meaningful moment for me," Li Bingbing said in an interview with the
Southern Metropolis Daily.
"The dress was the one I wore to the
ceremony," she said, "At first, the wax museum asked me to talk with
Dior, to see if we can make a copy of it. But the brand officials said,
'Don't worry, the dress is yours.' I was quite touched."
Madame-Tussauds
Shanghai, which is celebrating its two-year landing in Shanghai, plans
to add three new wax dolls this year. Each takes several months and
more than one million yuan to make. The wax figure of Australian
actress Nicole Kidman was put on show in September, while one of South
Korean star Rain is still being made.

he lost custody of the kids. And now, after the death of the children's
mother, Jo can regain custody of the children.
And for Choi to adopt the children, there must be agreement from the family members, especially Jo.
As

them. And if Jo regains custody of the children, Jo will eventually get
all her property.

Fan Bingbing Likely 'Love Rival' of Zhang Ziyi
CRIENGLISH.com
Chinese
actress Fan Bingbing is likely to join fellow star Zhang Ziyi in a
China-South Korean romantic comedy entitled "Sophie's Revenge,"
Sina.com.cn reported on Wednesday.
The Chinese-language film
will center on a girl named Sophie who searches for true love against a
backdrop of cultural clashes. Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi are being
considered to play the love rivals, according to an unnamed insider.
If confirmed, the international cooperation will obviously help domestically popular Fan Bingbing expand her influence abroad.
Among
Fan's few international films is "Shinjuku Incident," set in Japan and
also starring Jackie Chan. The film is scheduled for release in March.
Meanwhile,
Zhang Ziyi is also using "Sophie's Revenge" to expand her career beyond
acting. She is making her first investment, co-financing the film,
according to the Sina report.
The project was announced by South
Korean company CJ Entertainment at the Pusan International Film
Festival earlier this month. But Zhang is the only confirmed cast
member so far.

It
was announced a couple weeks ago that mangaka Chika Umino was drawing
the CD jacket and a manga-like insert booklet for the single. The
manga's motif was a fantasy love story between a young woman and a
snowman, and that motif has been carried over into the video. Filming
took place during the middle of this month.
