Actress Gong Li got won advertising contract from China's second-largest home appliance maker Midea Group, it was announced at a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.
A series of commercials were screened at the conference featuring Gong Li as a sexy housewife using Midea's small electric appliances such as water machines, bean milk makers and humidifiers.
"I spent four days shooting the advertisements. It was a new acting experience as most of the time, I had to perform with something that didn't really exist," said Gong Li, "It's the first time I'm seeing the advertisements, and I think they are beautiful."
"In fact, I make bean milk every morning when I'm at home," she said.
This is the fourth time the 43-year-old star has worked with the Chinese white goods giant. She first appeared as the face of Midea in 1992 in a commercial for its air-conditioner.
The star also talked about the upcoming Hollywood movie "Shanghai", which she said will premiere next February. In the movie, she plays an upper-class Shanghai woman in the 1940s.
