Pressure-free event for actress Gong Li
Print Edition
GONG Li is a participant at Cannes, but next month, she’ll have a higher profile role at a film festival closer to home.
The Chinese actress will head the jury at the 17th annual Shanghai Film Festival, which begins on June 14. She said she agreed to it reluctantly because she fears she may get too emotional.
“It is a respect to a film, to a piece of art. However, it can only be given to one person. So when you’re judging the award, you feel bad, because I, too, am in the business,” she said. “So I hope when I’m the president of the jury, I can pull it together and not be so emotional.”
Her new film “Coming Home,” which is showing out of competition, reunites her with famous director Zhang Yimou.
