GONG LI

Li was advised by director ex-lover ZHANG ZIYOU to stick to Chinese movies, but the stunning actress prefers the fast-paced Western film industry.

She says, "There are more opportunities for me in the West. Every few days, someone will send me a script or talk to me about a new movie.

"The new Chinese directors work more slowly than Western directors. It takes them longer to set up their movies."
