Bingbing:
acting is
everything

CHINA VIEW
Thirty-six-year-old Li
burst into tears the minute
she heard her name announced
as the winner of the Best
Leading Actress award at the
Golden Horses for her role
in spy flick The Message.
“I never thought I would
be standing on this stage,
accepting this award.
I do not know what to say,”
she sobbed,
speechless when presented
with her Golden Horse.
The Message saw her
second nomination for a
Golden Horse award,
following a Best Leading
Actress nomination for
The Knot in 2006.
“Life is interesting,
with so many ups and downs,
possibilities and
impossibilities.”
“I am thankful for all
of the drama that has
happened to me.”
.
Li acknowledged the support
and guidance from the cast
and crew of The Message.
She specifically
thanked Zhou Xun,
her costar in the film,
who was also nominated
for Best Leading Actress.
“Without Zhou’s
inspiring performance,
I would not have
won this award.”
Li told the Global Times
that the close relationship
between her and Zhou,
both in life and in work,
was like a sisterhood,
not one of fierce competition
as rumored by the media.
“Me winning the award does
not necessarily mean that my
acting is better than Zhou’s,
or the other nominees,”
she added.
.
Li explained that to be
nominated requires good
acting skills while winning
is a matter of luck.
Looking back over
Li’s acting career,
which began with background
roles and small supporting
cameos in TV series,
it is clear that her success
today is not merely based
on luck.
.
“She may not be the most
talented actress of our time,
but she is definitely one of
the most hard working
and mature,”
commented Tao Qian,
a mainland art critic.
“My biggest wish
is to be a good actress,
a really good one,”
Li said,
even after winning
the award.
She added that her
schedule is currently full,
with no holiday or
celebration planned.
.
“Once I set my mind
on something,
I’m willing to pay any price,
even my health.
Acting tops everything
in my life.”
Li also said that winning
the award was a milestone
of sorts in her career,
but she would not raise
her remuneration demands
for work.
“No payment is fine with me,
as long as there is a good
script and a good director.”
