Li Bing Bing as Nina\/Lily in Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just as high tea was being served at Gordon Ramsay\u2019s Maze restaurant in midtown\u2019s London Hotel last Wednesday, Li Bing Bing was accosted by a group of young fans, cameras in hand. Li, thirty-eight, one of the China\u2019s most famous actresses, was perfectly coiffed, and dressed in skinny black pants, a butterfly-print top and a crisp white blazer with a mandarin collar. Her face gave way to an ever-so-slight sulk as the fans excitedly chatted in their native Mandarin and gathered around. But then the petite actress swept her hand through her hair, rose from her seat and smiled pleasantly for the photo.<\/p>\n

Li had arrived in town earlier in the week to promote her latest film, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan<\/a><\/em>, accompanied by director Wayne Wang, author Lisa See, and producer Florence Sloan. (The latter\u2019s counterpart, producer Wendi Deng Murdoch and wife of Newscorp\u2019s Rupert, was conspicuously absent<\/a>.) The movie is loosely based on See\u2019s novel, which is set in a remote, nineteenth-century Chinese village and follows the difficult, foot-bound lives of Lily and Snow Flower. The women have been laotong<\/em> (\u201csame old\u201d)\u2014or, as one might say, BFFs\u2014since meeting at age seven and, when apart, communicate the tales of their lives through written messages using their own made-up language. For those who may have been excited\u00a0by the trailer<\/a>, ahem, there is no lesbian sex, nuanced or not. Wang also took substantial artistic license, reimagining the story through a split in time and personality\u2014the modern-day, bustling, city lives of businesswoman Nina (Lily) and writer Sophia (Snow Flower).<\/p>\n

Until last week, Li had been an obscure presence in American media, despite her resume of nearly twenty feature film roles since 1999. <\/em>On the other hand, as she casually mentioned over the healthy dollop of clotted cream she carefully spread onto a scone, she has over seven million followers<\/a> on China\u2019s Twitter-equivalent Weibo. (At press time, Lindsay Lohan, J. Lo, and Miley Cyrus each had less than a third as many Twitter followers. Justin Bieber, a mere 1.27 million.) Li, in her imperfect, but very impressive English, added that laotong is a \u201cvery trendy word in China,\u201d where the film opened at the end of last month, grossing five million in its first ten days. \u201cWhen they talk about best friends, they say, \u2018I need to find a laotong.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Li is still not as popular as fellow Chinese actors Gong Li or Zhang Ziyi, who both achieved international stardom years ago, but this widely publicized movie just might give her a boost. In a critical sense, it falls somewhere between Miami Vice <\/em>and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/em>, which her aforementioned colleagues respectively starred in. <\/em>Where the narrative thread fails in Snow Flower<\/em>, there is beautiful cinematography as well as a fascinating cameo by Hugh Jackman, gamely singing\u2014in Chinese<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The rest of the tea partiers that afternoon at the London were an assortment of professional and artistic women, mostly Asian or Asian American, selected by the Wang\u2019s LA-based publicist. We were here for a \u201cunique\u201d junket stop, an intimate (albeit short) conversation about the film\u2019s main themes, namely female relationships. Li spoke of her own personal laotong, a college roommate. \u201cWe\u2019re like tongxinglian<\/em>, like lesbians,\u201d she said. \u201cBut not really. I just really like her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, Li made her first American television appearance, thronged by The View\u2019s <\/em>very own talk-show-host BFFs. She charmingly repeated a modified version of her laotong story, and when asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s it like being a big movie star over there,\u201d responded, \u201cIt\u2019s like the same situation in the U.S. It\u2019s not very convenient in your daily life. But I\u2019m used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
