Liu Yifei

Liu Yifei Born in Wuhan, Hubei province of China 1987 August 25th, She began modeling at the age of 8 and was trained in singing, dancing and the piano. Moving to the United States at 10 with her mother, Liu lived there for four years. She returned to China in June 2002 to pursue a modeling and acting career. In September 2002, she was accepted into the Performance Institute of Beijing Film Academy at the tender age 15. Her first television role was in The Story of a Noble Family. Shortly after, she was chosen to portray the role of Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, a drama based on the same-titled novel by the acclaimed martial arts writer, Jinyong. In October 2003, Liu marked her first appearance on the big screen collaboration with May Day, the well-known Taiwanese rock band in the movie Love Of May. Her fame and popularity went up another notch through her starring role in the 2004 drama series adaptation of the video game, The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Upon her graduation from the Beijing Film Academy in July 2006, Liu starred in another television production based on another book by Jinyong, The Return of the Condor Heroes. This TV series was very well received in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. Liu made her first foray into her music career in August 2005 when she secured a recording contract with Sony Music Entertainment Japan.

 After taking up singing and dancing lessons for a year, her album Liu Yifei was released regionally in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and throughout South-East Asia in August 2006, featuring a diverse music repertoire including rap and soft rock. In the same year, Liu also released her Japanese album in which the single, The Gate of Late Night, was chosen to be the theme for an animation series by Tokyo TV. Chinese-American co-productions are all the rage right now and Nicolas Cage is getting in on the action with the upcoming action movie Outcast, from director Nick Powell. Shooting in Beijing and Yunnan Province in September Outback also stars Hayden Christensen and according to an announcement by the film’s Chinese production company Yunnan Film Group the two actors will also be joined by Chinese actress Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei has posted the following photo to her Weibo account, which sees her training for Outcast with the same horse-riding trainer she worked with for The Forbidden Kingdom six years ago. In Hong Kong director Gordon Chan's latest wuxia flick The Four, she plays a woman named Emotionless, who has telepathic and telekinetic powers. Her character is one of four martial arts masters, who possess superpowers and form a team working for a special forces department backed by the Emperor. Their initial job is to solve a mystery involving the circulation of fake currency, but it seems an even larger conspiracy is unfolding. The film also stars Anthony Wong, Deng Chao, Ronald Cheng and Collin Chou. The 24-year-old is polite but detached and reserved over the phone from China, telling FiRST how she can also block out emotions in real life. But she does so to act well. "While I'm acting, I listen to no one," she said. "At that moment, there is only me. I block out everything else." That's a considerable skill, considering how Liu had her fair share of pressures in life. She grew up in a strict environment, in which her mother, dancer Liu Xiao Li, was reportedly overprotective and over-controlling. Liu said: "My parents love me... But I still have to separate my personal feelings from work." Her mother also apparently didn't have much to say about The Four - which opens here today - after watching it. Liu admitted: "She didn't really have anything good to say about my acting. "But she seldom praises me. She only likes classical things." The media has also tried to get an emotional response from Liu with reports about her close relationship with her godfather, tycoon Chen Jinfei. She brushed it aside, saying: "People have been reporting this for 10 years. It gives me no stress at all.

Chinese actress Liu Yifei will star in the upcoming China-U.S. romance-war epic "Outcast", opposite Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen, which begins shooting in Beijing and Yunnan Province in September, according to the movie's Chinese production company. Yunnan Film Group has announced the news via its Sina Weibo microblog, saying that a party was held recently in Beijing to welcome the lead actors on board the project. The film tells the story of European soldiers traveling through east Asia in the 12th century and their relationships with a Chinese princess and her royal family. With horse-riding action and swordplay woven throughout the plot of "Outcast", the film's lead actors are getting well-acquainted with their animal co-stars, as they have all been receiving extensive equestrian training on set. While in the saddle, Liu Yifei posted a picture of herself in mid-training on her Sina Weibo. She says she is working with the same one who coached her in horseback riding six years ago, while she prepared for her role in "The Forbidden Kingdom", which starred Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The actress, who spent her early teenage years in New York, added in her Weibo post that she was trying to pick up a British accent, which she is finding to be quite difficult. "Outcast" will be director Nick Powell's debut film. Previously, Powell worked as a stunt and fight choreographer for films such as "The Bourne Identity", "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Resident Evil: Retribution", according to IMDB.

Immediately after her admittance into the Beijing Film Academy, Liu received offers to star in various television series. Her debut appearance on television was in The Story of a Noble Family. Shortly after, she was chosen to play Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, an adaptation of Louis Cha's novel of the same title. Initially, Liu Tao was selected for the role of Wang Yuyan but it went to Liu Yifei eventually and Liu Tao was cast as A'zhu instead. In 2005, Liu starred as Zhao Ling'er in Chinese Paladin, an adaptation of the action RPG The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The following year, she starred in The Return of the Condor Heroes, a television series adapted from Louis Cha's novel of the same title. After intense speculation on who would play Xiaolongnü, the role was finally offered to her. She was backed by Cha, who felt that she had all the necessary qualities to portray the young and innocent female protagonist. Although the television series she acted in were well-received, most of the films she starred in did poorly in terms of box office earnings. In 2008, she co-starred with Jet Li and Jackie Chan in The Forbidden Kingdom, in which she played Golden Sparrow, an orphan seeking revenge against her parents' killer. In 2010, she starred in Love in Disguise with Leehom Wang.

Lin Chi-ling

Lin Chiling, popular model and actress from Taiwan, said that in her new spy film "the Trump Card" (Wang Pai) she changed her trademark "baby doll" voice and made it normal. Lin said she later dubbed for her role in the film herself as age of the role she played is 20 years older than her. Lin, who is famous for her gentle demeanor and physical beauty, changes her image in the film. She elaborated more about this during a press conference held in Shanghai on Saturday. "The role I played in the film suffers from a lot of tortures. She is faced up with new situations. How would she continue and move forward steadily? How would she find the real voice from the bottom of her heart? Audiences could see changes that happen to the woman in the film." Lin was questioned for her ability of selecting screenplay at the press conference. The film "Switch" (Fu Chun Shan Ju Tu) she acted in 2013 received a lot of negative feedbacks. But she explained that film was like a jigsaw. Actor and actress are just in charge of their own parts. What would the whole film turn out to be, she doesnt know. Still she insisted that this time the film "the Trump Card" would be a great one. Lin's father, Lin Fan-nan, and her mother, Wu Tzu-mei, are both from Tainan, in southern Taiwan. Following their marriage, they moved to Taipei where Lin and her elder brother Lin Chi-hong were born. Lin attended Taipei Municipal Zhongzheng Junior High School and at the age of 15 was discovered by model talent scout Lin Chien-huan. She later attended Bishop Strachan School in Toronto, Canada, then attended the University of Toronto until 1997, when she completed a bachelor's degree, double-majoring in Western art history and economics. After graduating from university, Lin returned to Taiwan. She intended to pursue a career in fine art and sought a position at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, but was turned away because she lacked a postgraduate degree in the field. Lin continued to model part-time before leaving the industry and working as an administrative assistant for the Fubon Cultural and Educational Foundation.

 In 2000, Lin left Fubon and spent three months studying in Japan, then returned to Taiwan and modeling, with Catwalk Production House. Lin's popularity grew throughout the rest of 2004, as she began modeling in Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese advertisements, and continued when she began doing Japanese advertisements in 2005. From 2004 to 2006, Lin served as Taiwan's goodwill ambassador to the Japan Tourism Association. One of the unintended results of Lin Chi-ling phenomenon is that due to Lin's popularity among her Chinese fans, some Japanese pornographic actresses resembling Lin have become more famous and more popular among Chinese fans than their native homeland Japan, and received nicknames given by their China fans in association with Lin Chi-ling, such as in the case of Yui Hatano , who is frequently referred by Chinese fans as AV Lin Chi-ling, and Nozomi Aso, who is frequently referred by Chinese fans as AV little Lin Chin-ling. On 8 August 2005, Lin was in Dalian, China, shooting an advertisement for Procter & Gamble home products when she fell from the back of a horse she was riding and was inadvertently trampled. Workers rushed Lin to a nearby hospital where doctors discovered that she had suffered six broken ribs, a punctured left lung, and an accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity. Lin underwent four months of treatment and therapy, and announced in November 2005 that she had completely recovered.

In 2002, Lin was invited to model in a television advertisement in Hong Kong. The advertisement received attention and discussion on the internet, and interest in Lin began to grow. The following year, noted television producer Ge Hongfu offered Lin a position as hostess of a fashion program on Shanghai Oriental Television. In 2004, Lin starred in a broad series of advertisements in Taiwan that included big giant building-size posters, billboards, and television commercials. Almost overnight, Lin skyrocketed to national fame and became an instant celebrity model. Her rise to fame initiated a Taiwanese craze for supermodels, an effect commentators named "The Lin Chi-ling Phenomenon". Lin has had numerous roles in television over her time as a model, being the host of TVBS-G LA Mode News, TVBS-G Fashion Track, the Golden Melody Awards and the Top Chinese Music Chart Awards in 2005. Lin starred as one of the three female leads in the 2010 Fuji TV Japanese television drama Tsuki no Koibito. The male lead is popular actor Takuya Kimura.

Lin Chi-ling, born in 1974, in Taipei, is a famous model and actress. Well-known for her gentle manner and perfect body, Lin is dubbed “The First Beauty of Taiwan” by Taiwanese media.

While in 2000, she starred in an advertisement for Qing Zui (fresh mouth) mint during CCTV's broadcast of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, and is thus known to viewers as "fresh mouth girl". In 2002, she played the leading role of Zhou Zhiruo in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, a television series adapted from Louis Cha's novel of the same title. Increasingly well known in Asia, Gao has also made inroads into the international market. In 2005, she was on the red carpet at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, where her film Shanghai Dreams, directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, won the Prix de Jury prize. Jackie Chan has described her as "having the freshest look and chaste spirit that no Hong Kong actress could approach". Chan also picked Gao up as his partner in the action comedy film Rob-B-Hood. Gao was also selected in 2008 to be a torch bearer in the Nanjing leg of the torch relay for the 2008 Summer Olympics on 27 May. From 2007 to 2008, Gao starred as Jiang Shuyun in City of Life and Death, a fictional account of events during the Nanjing Massacre. The film won the top prize at the 2009 San Sebastian Film Festival. Moreover, Gao became FIYTA's Brand Ambassador in 2011 and took a series of street snaps in Milan Fashion Week by wearing FIYTA watches.Gao was born in Beijing on October 5, 1975 and entered the entertainment industry in 1996. Gao, unlike other mainland Chinese actresses, did not graduate from any drama academic institutions. Rather, she started her stardom by acting in a television commercial for Meadow Gold ice-cream after being spotted off the street at Beijing's Wang Fu Jing Shopping Distric. Netease Entertainment December 12th report, On the 11th of December, the television serial Let’s Get Married held celebration party. Leading actors Gao Yuanyuan, Huang Haibo, Zhang Kaili and others appeared on stage. On that day, Gao Yuanyuan wore a black coat and after taking her seat with several of those involved in the creation of the show, she elegantly removed her coat to reveal her figure dressed in a fashionable matching black and white outfit. She frequently used the microphone to prevent exposing her “important part”, but still was unable to conceal her bruise covered thighs.

Can you be sure it was Zhao Youting? Look at those squeeze marks, I reckon it must have been “the wheelbarrow” position. Yuanyuan was laying flat on her back, legs apart and raised up, with the guy sitting and holding Yuanyuan’s thighs up, both hands gripping exactly where the marks are on her thighs. This way, the guy’s butt thrusts back and forth, in and out, and as for why there are such obvious grab-marks, it clearly goes to show that this guy had held out for pretty long. Plus, throughout it all, he would have been facing her, looking down, being excited beside himself by Yuanyuan’s mature, beautiful, white, sexy body, thrusting desperately, clutching and squeezing [her legs]. That’s why it can be seen that there is more than just one mark. Taiwan actor Mark Chao and his girlfriend, Chinese actress Gao Yuan Yuan, registered their marriage in Beijing on Thursday, reported Chinese media. His manager said he was in Beijing for a promotional event and took the opportunity to register his marriage to Gao. Chao’s manager added that the couple will also register their marriage in Taiwan at a later date, and will hold wedding celebrations in both Taiwan as well as China. Rumours are rife that it is a 'shotgun marriage', but Gao’s publicist has denied that she is pregnant. Chao, 29, started dating Gao, who is five years his senior, after working together on Chinese director Chen Kaige’s 2012 film “Caught in the Web”.

About four years ago, I went full-time. Encouraged by my modeling agency, I started taking part in competitions. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about presenting yourself in front of a big crowd. I never intended to get this “bikini girl” image. When I went full time, I tried out a few styles, but this is the one people liked. Naturally, people wanted me for that again and again. That’s fine. It’s not like just anyone can be me. I never said I liked to be in men’s sexual fantasies, I just said I can’t control what they think. People can like me in whatever ways they want to. Even the most innocent girl in the most proper outfit can become their sex object. Hong Kong as a city can be open and welcoming. But the individual people in Hong Kong like to say one thing and do another. I believe many people don’t mind what I do, but when they realize people around them are more conservative, they change their opinions to fit in. Magazine writers may not like me, but it’s important to remember they don’t represent the whole of Hong Kong.

Joe Chen Qiao En

Joe Chen Qiao En has been a lead on the popular TV drama "The Prince Who Turns Into a Frog," and she currently hosts two TV shows, "Treasure Hunter" and "Fated to Love You." Joe Chen Qiao En began her acting career in 2001, and began her singing career in 2004 with 7 Flowers. The group originally had 7 members, but now is down to 4, and she is one of the co-leaders of the group. She has appeared on a number of TV shows, and has participated in Idol Dramas, among other film appearances. She has written or co-written a number of songs for 7 Flowers, and the group has released 6 albums. Joe Chen Qiao En was born April 4th, 1979, in Taiwan, and she is a Taiwanese actress of Hakka origin. She has an interest in both acting and writing, and is a co-leader of the musical group 7 Flowers.  We still have a way to go until an air date is announced, although a cast member said on Weibo that he expected the drama to air in September. In the meantime, tide yourself over with an action-packed trailer and some newly released stills. The drama and the book it’s based off of, The Fate of Jinxiu by Nian Yi, both seem to be heavily focused on its heroine, but let’s not kid ourselves: in these new stills, Huang Xiaoming is the dominant force. In a way, this makes sense, since his character is described as the overbearing, authoritative, no-nonsense type.

one of the first Taiwanese onscreen couples that I ship. I need to rewatch Prince Turned to Frog. When I saw these cute photos on Chinese news sites, I thought they are having another collaboration. Wrong. Apparently, they are promoting the terribly written drama, Beauties of the Emperor, again! Why oh why are people still re-airing this poorly done work? Let the nightmare disappear from my eyes. It looks my beloved couple can only generate romantic sparks onscreen because they claim tp be happy as friends. Hey, I’m a happy camper as long as they’re happy. They have this natural, flirty chemistry that works to their advantage. Joe Chen adds, “With Ming Dao, I know him too well, so well that there’s nothing else to know.” Beauties of the Emperor was her first period drama and she was glad that Ming Dao’s presence made her feel comfortable in a new environment. Ming Dao follows up with stories about them eating out after work and how he never thought twice to call her in the middle of the night to talk. Even when she was sleep, he knew she would pick up to chat with him. Joe jokes, “People think it’s romantic but he’s a hassle, talking about nonsense.” She further reveals that when they were filming in Taiwan, he would pick her up and drop her off everyday. At first she thought he was courting her, but alas, that was not the case.
