Li Bingbing Sings!
Li Bingbing isn’t just an actress. She’s also an accomplished singer! We’ve linked before to the music video featuring her song for Forbidden Kingdom (LINK). Now, we found an article from about a month ago at CriEnglish.
For award-winning film actress Li Bingbing, developing her singing hobby into a career is a piece of cake – film producers trust her on soundtracks.
The actress sang the title song for her latest film, “Linger,” a rare romance feature by Hong Kong crime film director Johnnie To. She has also reportedly been invited to underscore the upcoming action film “Forbidden Kingdom,” in which she will collaborate with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
And most recently, she managed to contribute to a film solely as a singer. “The Children of Huang Shi,” a World War Two film set in China directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh, held a press conference in Beijing on Monday to promote the music for the film.

Jackie Chan sez put the cameraphone down!
Jackie Chan has provided the face for an anti-piracy message being spread throughout China!
Hollywood studios are taking their fight against piracy in China into the belly of the beast by erecting a huge billboard with an antipiracy message from Jackie Chan in Beijing’s Silk Market.
Billboard features a simple warning from the Hong Kong star: “Protect the movies, say NO to piracy.”
Billboard was launched in partnership with the Beijing Silk Street Co. and Chaoyang Model Anti-Copyright Infringement and Piracy-Free Zone.
It will be displayed for two weeks in one of the busiest spots in Chaoyang district, spreading its message to more than 20 million people.
“Chan’s message to Beijing’s citizens is direct and simple,” said Mike Ellis, MPA’s regional prexy and managing director. By eschewing pirated fare, Chinese will take steps toward “nurturing and protecting China’s movie industry, which then will be free to reach out and tell compelling, exciting Chinese stories to people around the world.”

Jet celebrates The One Foundation!
China.org has posted some images from the one year anniversary celebration of Jet Li’s The One Foundation, along with an article about the charity’s accomplishments…
